Jamey is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He's friendly, approachable and intelligent, and he has great enthusiasm for mathematics, which is particularly evident in the higher-division courses. Tests are relatively easy if you study the material and go to office hours when you're stuck. Besides 130, I've taken 110B and 110C with him.

For me, this class was extremely easy, which made it boring. Jamey is a passionate teacher, but he doesn't expect that much of his students. For example: when people asked completely obvious questions, he'd take the time to answer in full, when really they could have figured it out on their own. Grade is based off of two midterms and a final.

He is a good professor but his test are really hard but curves it. He knows if you use chegg or any similar website. He does care and is available outside of class. In order to succeed in his class then you must really know your stuff from calculus 1 and calculus 2. All hw is on textbook but test harder than hw but similar. Good luck and study ALOT

In-person/online hybrid class; much of your time will be spent cranking out problems because, yes, he did assign many of them - do not neglect the 70+ integrals. Expect a difficult midterm and final that dictates 80% of your grade, but they were based on homework, were curved, and he did solve student-requested problems during in-person meetings.

He assigns a lot of homework so as long as you do the homework, you will do well on this class. Chapter quizzes is homework based and 5-7 questions. We only have to show up in-person to take midterm and final exam. Midterm had 8 questions, final exam 12 question but they're based on the whole material, it can be hard if you forgot.

He is really good professor. Tests are heavy. Midterm is worth 30% of your grade and final is 50% of your grade. He gives a lot of homework. The more you do homework, the easier the test. I will take him again in Math 110C.

Just like for math in general, please do all the homework you can, the more homework you do the better your grade will turn out to be, he is a lenient grader that curves exams, but the questions on the exams will be fairly complex and straight out of the textbook mostly. So please do the homework consistently and daily.20 hours a week on homework.

He assigns way too much homework per week. It's hard to finish all of it if work full time while still taking other classes online. Exams are in person on Ocean or Chinatown location. Exams are no longer than 10-14 questions but they are difficult, especially if you dont complete all of the homework.

Calculus III is a rough course, a quantum leap. Jamey is easily the best professor at CCSF. Only Jessica Masters comes close. He's extremely intelligent, humble, supportive, and always went out of his way to help me piece things together. He sees big, broad connections. You may not appreciate him during the course stress as much as you will after.

Great teacher. Exams are 70% of your final grade but are heavily curved. The class is not easy and has a lot of homework, but professor Bass is very understanding of this and is a generous grader. Highly recommend.

He is very nice but the midterm is 30% and the final is 50% of your grade. There is SO much work, it's easy to fall behind. His lectures are just mini videos and while he does go through examples, they are much simpler ones compared to the ones assigned for homework. Overall, I fell behind and it was impossible to catch up.

Prof. Bass is passionate. Something like 70% of the Math110B grade will be based on the midterm and final (the only tests). They are intentionally difficult - he is grading you on your ability to solve the problem, not necessarily get it right. Strong curve. He likes questions and sometimes you need to call him out for oversimplifying things.

Grading policy won't let you pass the class unless you can do well on solving 10 big problems in less than 5 hours on the exams. There is no knowledge check with quizzes. There should be assignments that are digestable... besides homeworks. Midterm is 30% and final is 50%... You are limited with 5 hours to complete the exam.

There's a lot of work, yet very doable. My tip is to do homework regularly, and you will be okay. Jamey is one of the best math professors I have ever seen.

Midterm and Final are very difficult, but there's a generous curve. Highly recommend if you're self-driven to read and learn outside of lectures. I took Math 130 online and highly recommend it if you're looking for more flexibility.

Was initially scared of taking Calc 2 and was extremely happy ending up with an A. Jamey's class can be very manageable and understandable as long you're willing to put in the work. His tests are fair if you understand the concepts and gives a very generous curve. On top of his lectures, watch professor Leonard on YouTube and do HW problems!

First of all his lecture videos are all over the place. Take Jamey Bass if you are motivated enough to glue your eyes into the textbook for any meaningful information. Be ready to flip through textbook examples or random timestamps on his videos on how to write your solutions. He is overall a very knowledgably and relatively easy to understand.
