I got an A in this calculus 2 class, but it was HARD. You have to work your rear end off. His homework problems are extremely difficult. Go to office hours and he will help you, but it takes a while because he frequently guesses along the way until he gets it right. His quizzes come directly from the practice problems he gives. Try googling it.

Really good teacher overall. Just some difficult problems, but answers all your questions. Might have to ask a lot of them. Not really easy, but then its Calc 2... so it really shouldn't be unless you catch on real quick. Either way, the professor is generous and helps a lot.

You don't need the textbook. He provides lectures and notes for you that clearly explain the subject material. Turn everythin g on time, don't ask for higher grades, and actually learn, ask legitimate questions, and you'll earn an A like me.

He is a very fair in his grading and his class isn't difficult. Good precalc teacher.

Awesome professor. Pretty easy and relaxed guy, he'll do his best to allow you to pass but it's not exactly a piece of cake either. Make sure you attend class and you can get an A. Lastly, and most importantly, he'll care if you care :)

If you like word problems I recommend him, if not, then don't take him.

he's the PERFECT teacher. You'll understand math so much better with him. I absolutely love him and I wish that I could take him again. If you ever have a chance to take him, DO IT. I only had him for a summer class but he's amazing nonetheless.

Take him if you have the opportunity. He is fair in his grading and he is helpful.Also the material that he goes over will help you in future math classes ;)

this is the first time he teaches Diff Eq. I love the class and the way he explained the materialS. He found a way to explain it to the students and tried to do the best he could. He provided the class with online notes too, which is so kind of him. the class got a little behind, but a least we understand what we're doing. FAIR GRADER!

There is a lot of work to do in this class but it really helps you understand the concepts and prepares you for higher math classes. He is very helpful and easy to understand during lectures.

I'm currently in his math125 and so far he has become one of my favorite professors. If you pay attention, do all the work, and study the practice tests, you will have no issue in passing his class. I'm defentaly hoping to take him in future math classes! Professor Jacob is the best! Take him!

I would his class is a half easy half hard but i guess that depends if you're a math person Overall I'll say that his class a very good class and his teachings are very clear and on point. Im definitely recommend him for others and I hope I can get his other math classes as well

Work hard since the beginning or you wont make it...guaranteed..other than that smart guy

Generally, a good professor. Web assign homework is not too bad (lol, that sounds like something he would say), but the tests are fairly challenging. Midway, the course gets pretty difficult and it appears that the end material crushed a lot of students. The final was especially difficult but he gives opportunities for credit! Recommended!

Very hard, sometimes not so clear, but very helpful. Homeworks were easy, quizzes were hard, test were very hard.

Honestly Professor Veiga is a good teacher, but the difference between him and other professors at Pierce. Is that Veiga likes students to think for themselves. He doesn't just give you the answer from the start. This is a mathematics course and who would have thought you would have to think? He's a good teacher just study or else you'll fail.

Very friendly! Extremely approachable. I HATE math (and still do), but I had a good time in this class. Its challenging and takes work, but an A is definitely not out of reach! Highly recommend for anyone who is not a math major and/or is bad at

His class is not that easy to understand. It definitely took a lot of practice to master the subject! You have to start thinking 3D and creatively; you will be stuck otherwise. He's very generous with extra credit. I got C and B on first 2 tests, ended up with 100% by end. I promise it's worth the work, plus he's a very outgoing man, laughs :)

This professor is great even-though his exam are hard. I manage to get an A in his class because I consume much of my time studying his class. Getting an A takes a lot of work. If you do his class packets, understand his lectures, do his online homework, and do a lot practice problems in the calculus book. I would guarantee you would get an A.

3rd time taking 125. Probably the best math teacher I've ever had. A lot of people didn't like him but the structure of his class really worked for me. Tests were a bit tricky, but as long as you print out the handouts, take notes, and turn in the hw (which is always due at the beginning of the following week) you're going to do fine in the class.

Too many assignments and the tests can be tricky, especially word problems. He'll explain things if you ask. Very nice but still a hard class. I only got a good grade because I did all the homework. DO NOT TAKE for summer. Also MyMathLab is the worst and did not learn from it

he sometimes makes things seem more difficult than they needed to be, he was an over all good teacher. he is helpful and wants you to succeed but Also wants you to know the material. textbook use is heavy and take a quiz on what you read the next day. tests can be tricky but he gives a good study guide exactly like the test. 80% up is an A

He is an overall great professor who explains everything and does majority of the class packets during class. There is a quiz during the beginning of everyone class based on what you were supposed to read before class. He gives a lot of homework, online and packets. He is very generous with the grading. Make sure to keep up w the class while early.

Generous. If u have hours of time 2 spare, take his class. Prof. Veiga is cool. However, expects you to comprehend the material in one lesson. Exams are lecture based, but quizzes and online hw are txtbk based. Online hw is a pain because it has nothing to do with his lectures and can be confusing as you learn different methods. Xtra cred.

Professor Veiga is reasonable. Homework is worth a big chunk of your grade. Exam questions are taken from class packets and online homework. One downside is that he jumps from board to board when solving a problem which makes it hard to write down notes in a clear-cut fashion. Otherwise a good professor, an eye candy.

One of the best professors out there!! He knows exactly how to explain math problems. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to finish this class due to an emergency, but I cant wait to take this class again. Why? thats because hes really good at teaching! And most of his perfect grading system. As long as you put in effort and do the work, youll pass

Professor Veiga is simply GOAT. His lectures and tests were crystal clear. When I didnt understand anything, i went to his office hours and he would explain everything and work with me to solve the problem. If you put just the required effort, you will dominate trig (ps: every class is hard if you dont study duuhhh).

Hes a really great teacher. Yeah there can be alot of test but they are 5 question, multiple choice and very easy. Honestly as long as you do your homework and classwork you should have an easy time understanding the material. He will help you and he explains everything throughly and it thats not enough you could always visit his office for help!

I took this course as part of the Summer Bridge and I have to say this professor is one hell of a teacher. Very willing to help and a fun person to be in class with. He loves to teach even about other subjects, to the point where he let me borrow a book on astrophysics and I really appreciate it.

Took his class during Summer and it was definitely fun even though we have a lot of packets and homeworks everyday. You just need to pay attention to his discussion and you will surely understand even the difficult stuff. Would highly recommend him. Plus his grading criteria really makes a huge impact.

I took Veiga during the Summer Bridge program and he is honestly the best math teacher I have ever had. He truly wants his students to succeed and is always willing to answer questions. Pay attention during his lectures and study for his tests and quizzes and you will pass. He does have morning quizzes every day so be prepared for those.

I took the ASAP Program. classwork is your homework. Amazing professor, Quizzes every morning, Gives extra credit at the end of the semester. Has videos of his the lecture as well in case you do miss class. VERY lenient on the grading score, so I recommend you NOT to drop his class, chances are you'll pass.

He is a great professor! but we had quiz every day! Lots of HOMEWORK and really tough EXAMS.... but easy grader at the end.

He is a great professor! but we had a quiz every day! Lots of HOMEWORK and really tough EXAMS.... but easy grader at the end.

I took professors Veigas class in the Winter. Since it was the Winter, the class was very fast paced. We had at least one quiz everyday, worked on classroom packets + workbook activities. He provides video lectures /utions to the workbook activities online. Extra credit points on corrected exams. Study & youll pass. Overall, great professor.

I took him for winter because it was just a month long, he wasn't that bad, he expects you to study even after class and know the material. If you pay attention and do the workbook you should do fine. He gave out 2 quizzes every day and the exams were fair, a mix of equations and word problems aside from definition questions. Overall it wasn't bad.

Took Veiga for winter and the class was great! Class packets, problems from the book, make sure you understand the practice exams and the exams are pretty easy. Not sure what all of these trolls are talking about!

Professor Veiga is a great professor in my opinion. I really enjoyed his class and made some great friends because of all the times we worked in groups. He is truly passionate about math and he is easy to talk to. He went out of his way to explain things I was curious about even if they were only partially related to what was being taught in class.

He does the right thing to provoke you to learn..

I hadn't taken a math class in years and saved it for last because I always struggled in Math. This is an accelerated math class meaning it's 3 or 4 math classes in one and moves really fast. Professor Veiga however took his time to explain everything thoroughly and hw was manageable. He sets you up to succeed in all aspects! So glad I had him!!

I took his Calc 1 class during the 5 week winter semester, I never thought I would actually enjoy a math class like Calc, especially when the course was over in the blink of an eye. But this man has a true gift. The work load was to be expected but the pace and the teaching style was unmatched. Really cares that you understand the material. 10/10

Professor Veiga's calc-fu is strong. He'll work through the problems in lecture (figuring them out along the way), and is not afraid to make mistakes; this is *critical* in math, demonstrating the ability to recover and seek different approaches. Show that you're paying attention and making an effort and he'll go to great lengths to help you learn.

Took this class online and even though it takes a little while to get used to the structure it ended up being pretty easy. He's super nice and helpful if you ask and the textbook and online HW were free, so that's never bad . Would definitely take another class with him, but now I'm totally done!!!

Professor Veiga was a good instructor, I ended up thinking i was going to fail the class but as long as you do all the homework and do okay on the tests you will def pass the class, i respect this professor a lot and i appreciate his format for making students pass his class i would def take his math classes again.

I was nervous taking Math 134 after being out of school for almost 10 years, but Professor Veiga was awesome at explaining the material in a way I could understand. He was very helpful answering homework questions, and was easy to approach. Will definitely try to take another class with him in the future.

Thorough with lectures and explains concepts in a very easy to understand manner. Is very punctual, yet does not harp on you if you aren't. Provides extensions without issue if you give him a reason and will make small talk in class when he sets aside time for individual work. The homework is extremely light so long as you do the work in class.

Took this class during winter and probs the best time I have spent in a math class. He's super laid back and taught the subject well. Was willing to work with you if an assignment was missed. Is structured with note packets done in class with practice problems, homework, and textbook through Webassign (may change) and daily quizzes on canvas.

This guy is giga-chad at math! Thanks for the food.

His lectures are thorough and there's no surprises on the exams. Do all the work (homework, quizzes, and practice exams) and you'll be thoroughly prepared. He wants you to have the right mindset on what exactly the derivative and integration means at a higher level that gets you prepared for Calc 3. Very chill prof that will let you make stuff up

Took him in winter, I wish I take him again for Math 262. Great professor and person, fun to talk to, always holds out a helping hand, and teaches the material so well. Although he could make mistakes on his own problems, he makes up for them and does it right the second time. Do all his quizzes, don't miss anything, and understand the homework.

Very enthusiastic and brings good energy to the classroom. Lectures can be tough to follow, but he is willing to reexplain concepts 1 on 1 with students after the lecture. I remember once I had to wait 45 minutes to ask my questions cause that's how devoted he was to help the previous student. Practice exams also model actual exams.

He is super cool. I have been struggling with math for a long time, it is a personal weakness of mine and he gave me opportunity to succeed. I recommend him to anyone struggling to fulfil their math requirement. He is just a really cool guy.

My second time taking calculus. I thought it was just something I wasn't wired for but Professor Veiga made it feel EASY. I failed the first time and the second time felt like a stroll! He weighs the handouts and homework heavily, you've got to do it or you're not passing. That said, his tests are much easier than his homework so it works out.

This was the fourth time I have taken Calc 1 Math 261, and he is by far one of the best math professors i have taken. He creates his own class packets for every section with in class lecture problems and hw problems that are very similar to the in class problems. You must submit the class packets as well as online hw, but he makes it very easy.

I took this professor over the winter intersession for stats 227. Professor Veiga's lectures were clear, he is caring and will assist students in anyway possible. He will make himself available as needed. The class had a fair amount of homework which was difficult at times but he always lectures in a way that will ensure you understand the material

For teaching calc 1 in five weeks, he did pretty good. Practice exams were mostly like actual exam. Short term meant daily hw and quizzes, and weekly exams so take summer if you have time. Offered a bit of extra and dropped lowest 2 quiz scores. Exams are weighed heavily but if you do all the hw, worksheets and study, you'll be fine.

I took his class a couple of semesters ago, but I realized how much of a positive impact he had on me for my future classes in mathematics. His lectures are easy to understand, homework can be annoying but relatively easy, and he is a great professor. One of few professors I rank in my top 5. I highly recommend if you want to purse higher math.

Took calculus 1 during the winter semester and this class went pretty smoothly for being a 5 week course. Professor Veiga is very caring for each student and always willing to provide help. Workload was very manageable provides many resources to ensure success on exams and quizzes.

Professor Veiga is actually AMAZING! I took him for the winter session. He genuinely made the class really enjoyable, and gives you a strong foot going into Calc 2. He is such a caring teacher and he values each question any student has. Tests and quizzes are all open note (you can also go on your phone or tablet). If you want to succeed, take him!

I took him for 5 week winter course. 30% of grade are the exams. No final. I went from an F in last cal class to getting a B in this class. You will have to work, but grading is actually fair. Daily quizzes from homework the night before. All tests are multiple choice. If you want to pass the first time take this guy.

I have always had a hard time with math, but he made it easy. Only 5 weeks to teach Calculus, he did an amazing job, has own worksheets and you fill them in during class. Gives time to solve some problems by yourself, will be walking around to help. Easy to follow, funny, explains clearly. If complete assignments and pay attention, guaranteed pass.

Took this class in 5-weeks during the winter - wish he was teaching Calc II! I had taken Calculus in high school but there were a bunch of little things I got out of this class that I never got in high school. First 3 exams were just like the practice exams, the Final was a little bit tricky, but it was only worth about 10%. Would take again!

Winter class, moves quickly but as expected. Took the time to answer every homework question asked which was nice since this was basically 50% of the grade. Would definitely recommend to anyone taking Calc I!

Took his class in Fall after dropping 227 before. My previous instructor literally just read straight from the textbook then would ask if anyone "had any questions" so I found his lecture style refreshing. Quizzes and tests were pretty straight forward. I'm not a math person but I ended up passing without being to stressed out about my grade.

This class has a heavy workload (expected for winter calculus). He makes some mistakes in lectures and study guides( hard to understand at times), so independent work is necessary. He's fair—tests are only 30% of the grade, and he drops the two lowest daily quizzes. If you show effort and are close to a letter grade, will round. Easy A. laid back

He is a very good professor who explains concepts clearly and makes the material easier to understand. If you are taking his 5 week class, just know that this is a lot of material to get through in that short time span. If you haven't taken calculus before and it will require hours of work everyday outside of class.

Took this class a while back and it was a smooth experience. Quizzes at the start of each class help boost your grade, so don't slack on those. The professor is laid-back and the class is manageable if you stay consistent. Set aside 90 mins for work and don't skip class.

He's a very caring professor. I took him for Statistics, Calc 1, and Calc 2. He truly wants students to succeed and is very understanding. His grading is fair with daily 5-question quizzes based on the previous class. If you stay on top of homework and quizzes and study, you'll do well. Exams are not too bad, just review the study guide and packets

Jacob is my guy. You can tell he enjoys calculus and teaching it, and he really tries to make the class lighthearted on top of all the nasty derivatives and integrals. The grading criteria is very clear, and if you do the homework and occasional class packet, you'll be golden. Be warned if youre not a fan of mediocre standup do not take this class.

Great professor and tests are similar to the problems from hw and practice exams

One thing that is for sure about Veiga is that the guy is a true mathhead. He loves to give students a deep dive into the why and the how. I took him for calc 1 and 2 and at first I was confused on why we were learning all of the proof of why everything works, but I've learned over time how helpful it was to know this stuff. Study and do homework.

Not going to lie, I only took his class cuz i read the ratings lmao. His class has daily quizzes (38-40 quizzes total, not sure the total). he was okay for me at least. I then had to drop since math got too difficult for me. at the beginning of the semester, there is a quick quiz of your math placement. but easy questions from precalc and algebra.

Good teacher! The only annoying thing is he gives quizzes everyday which forces you to stay on top of the material but it can be a pain. He doesn't give much homework but make sure you do it because exam questions are sometimes taken from the homework. Do the homework, study for the exams, attend his office hours. His class is very manageable!
