He was verry helpful, and esay for a math teacher. I was able to have fun in the class. we never had homework to turn in, but we had a quiz every week.

Jared is a great teacher! He is very thorough and takes the neccessary time needed for those who need extra help. Math 90 goes really fast, and a new section is covered daily. He doesn't call on people for the answer, which is a relief. Help is always availiable if you ask him.

Very nice man. Exams tended to be much harder than review and quizes. Thick accent. Overall, average experience.

I *Loved* this class! Yes, he has a thick accent (He is from Nairobi) but he is understandable. He goes over all of the concepts better than any teacher I have ever had. I have always struggled just to pass math, this time I was one of the best students in the class. If you pay attention to him, it is easy to get a good grade. The project was easy.

Jared is my favorite math teacher!!!! He's really easy going and helps students when they need it. Sometimes he even reviews stuff from math 90 that some people may have forgotten and doesn't make you feel stupid in the process. Over all great teacher and I would highly recommend him! Just make sure you do your homework; he gives homework quizzes.

very good teacher very tough class he tries is best but there is a tone of stuff to cover in a short period of time

He got strong accent. Otherwise, this is such a good instructor. The quiz comes from hw and there's review for every exam. The content is neither easy nor challenge. Hard working leads to A.

Jared was awesome. He is very helpful if you are willing to put the work in. You can't just breeze by in this class but homework is not mandatory. However, you gotta do it in order to learn the math.

jared is a very nice teacher even though he speaks quietly and a thick accent it is so easy to pass the math class. he explains step by step if oyou dont get a certain question he will explain it very carefully and he wont make you feel stupid.

He is a great teacher! I like his grading system. He does have an accent but you will get used to it very quickly=] If you do your homework, you will have no problem passing the quizes. The exams are not that hard. You just have to sudy. I would recomend him to anyone!

Nice Professor. Strong instruction. Honest and very well-mannered, pleasure to deal with.

I had Jared for two quarters and wish I could have him teaching the rest of my math courses because I can finally understand what is going on without having to kill myself! He is very organized, and he does have an accent, but that has nothing to do with math. I had a harder time understanding math teachers without an accent. Highly recommended!!

Very helpful. Has a bit of an accent, but once you get used to it he's not especially hard to understand. Occasionally seemed to misunderstand what students were asking him. Very polite, kind of reserved. Assigned homework doesn't need to be turned in, but there are weekly homework quizzes, so you're kind of screwed if you don't do it.

Good teacher, explains well. If you don;t understand something he will explain again until you understand.

I love this man

This instructor doesn't require you to attend class everyday, but it's wise that you do come. It took me a week to feel comfortable with his accent. Eventhough you do not have to turn in homework, I STRONGLY recommend you work on the assigned problems. It will help you on the quiz and exams. Overall he's a really good math instructor.

This was my second time taking pre-cal. The first time was in high school and then I took it again as a refresher. He is an awesome teacher and makes all the concepts really clear and understandable.

Very organized. Hands out note sheets for each section being discussed in class. Quizzes based on the homework problems (which you don't have to turn in). Very smart instructor.

Hes great

Jared was by far the best math professor I have ever had. Seriously, this is a person who loves his job and it shows! If you have a chance definitely take one of his classes.

Jared was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He's extremely helpful. He can be kind of hard to understand at first because of him being from out of country, but he does his best to talk slowly and clearly. If you have a hard time understanding, just ask him to repeat himself and he will. I highly recommend him. I would take him every quarter i

Best math teacher I've had. Attendnace not manadatory, but there are group projects and weekly quizzes.

Mr. Abwawo is an awesome teacher. I took his class last year and totally enjoyed learning with him. Take his class! Promise you that his teaching style is much much better than Ferenchko's.

I have taken several classes with Jared, Math 99 and Math 96/140. He has an accent, so some people find him hard to understand, but if you are willing to listen he is an amazing teacher.

I hate math with a passion, never realized I was doing math with Jared, best math teacher I have ever had hands down! Never had to do one home work assignment because he was so clear during class. Take him if you can, easy grade but you will also learn everything you need to know as well!

I hated math and didn't know how I was going to get through higher level math classes until I took his class. I finally felt confident and homework was optional.

Jared is an excellent teacher if you are willing to learn the material. He does have an accent, but one should catch on and understand if they understand math terms. He sometimes uses examples as test problems,so dont take the examples lightly. Took Math 96 and 141 with him. Very disapointed that he wasnt teaching 142,hopefully i can get him for 15

The best math teacher ever! I would take every math class through him. If you have a question or a problem then he can give you examples of why it will work or not. Totally best math teacher ever.

Great teacher! Has an accent but you will get used to it. Explains things well. Needs to control the class more as they can get loud and disruptive but overall he is great! Easy work, tests and grading scale too :)

Jared is the best math teacher ever!! I barely come to class, unless it's a test day. The homework he assigns includes what will be on the quiz, so if you do homework, you've done quiz questions as well. I hope to take him next quarter for other classes :)

Great instructor. Lectures were clear and detailed. Took time to answer questions. Quiz questions were directly from the homework, so if you do your homework you have an understanding of quizz material. Tests were tough at times, but definitely doable. Would highly recommend this instructor.

Mr. Abwawo was a really great, fun math instructor! He was very helpful, and would slow down his lectures if needed. The only negative thing I really have to say about him is that if you have a hard time understanding different accents, be careful in his class; he has a very thick Kenyan accent, and is sometimes hard to understand...

Extremely good at reexplaining things in an easier manner. He always tries to make things easier for you. Also one of the few math teachers that can explain why its done one way and not another without me getting confused.

This instructor likes to work fast, so pay close attention and take notes. He is also very helpful and is willing to take the time necessary for you to learn a concept. He is also soft spoken with an accent, so sit as close to the front as you can to hear him clearly.

the best math instructor I have come across so far. Extremely happy, wholehearted, understanding teacher with a drive to inform his students. He made me like algebra!

Great math teacher. I actually re-learned a few things! Highly recommended.

Excellent teacher. Works at a pretty fast rate, which I loved. Tries to make things as simple as possible. Occasionally can be funny.

This is a great instructor, I did not do well in class because I do not perform well on tests and he grades solely on tests alone but he was kind and helpful. Has a strong accent but did not find that it affected my understanding of his teaching.

Very very organized. Class is very structured. Has an accent but makes up for it through lecture outline handouts and by a structured lesson plan. Gave me a solid understanding of the material. His tests are difficult and he expects you to know the material.

Best math teacher I have ever had. I learned a lot, and his grading was fair. The test were hard but I always felt prepared. He's very warm, approachable and wants his students to do well.

Best math professor I've ever had. Very clear on instructions, always willing to work with students. Class included quizzes on Fri, then instead of a quiz every 3 weeks was a test. There was grp work (quizzes) and a project. Home work was not collected, but the quizzes come directly from the homework. Do your homework.

Mr. Abwawo is very nice but if you are not a good math student already and do not test well I would advise you take another teacher. Your grade is your tests and that didn't work out for me. I did have some trouble with his accent but he was great about it.

Pretty easy class. Your grade is entirely dependent on tests and quizzes but he goes everything else well. There is homework but it's entirely for your benefit - he doesn't grade or collect it. He writes lesson/problems on the board so a book isn't needed unless you want to do the homework.

The best math teacher I've ever had! He breaks things down so simply and then makes sure you comprehend the material. He's engaged with his students throughout the class, and he's always cheerful. Book is essential for homework, but not much else and this course is graded solely on attendance, participation, tests and exams.

I'm not that good at math so his class was difficult to me. He does not check homework so review is not part of the class. I think this class is for people who have no struggles with math. He's a good teacher but focuses mostly on the smart people. If you struggle at all with math I would suggest finding another teacher.

He is tough but fair and the BEST math teach I have ever had. He is brilliant and if something is unclear he is always willing to help you until you understand. I highly recommend him.

Was a very helpful. At first it was a little difficult to understand him because of his thick accent but I got the hang of it. He did a very good job explaining the steps in problems. His handwriting on the whiteboard is VERY clear and neat. Because of his teaching and my hours of self study, I got a fantastic grade in my weakest subject.

Jared was an amazing instructor. I took him two quarters ago and would recommend him to anyone. Be sure to show up for class everyday, ask questions, whether during or after class and do the work every single day. If you fall behind you will be lost. But honestly, I hated math (and was always horrible at it) and he made me actually like it.

Mr. Abwawo is the most brilliant and genuine math teacher I have ever had. His handwriting on the board is similar to a computer! It is so clear and he explains everything very well. Also, he is the kindest person I have met. I wish he taught Math 141 because I am holding all my future instructors to his standards and so far I am disappointed!

Since he is from Kenya, so his English is a bit diffucult to hear, but other than that, he is a easy going professor. He gives easy quizes and exams. Not much homework at all.

From a person who likes and is good at math, I thought his class was really easy. You get used to his accent. Homework is optional, but helpful for quizzes. He doesn't answer questions very clearly, so keep asking him if you don't understand something. His personality is quiet and gentle. He shows you different ways on how to approach math.

Mr. Abwawo is a great teacher and is very helpful. He is always in a good mood and makes math fun and interesting. He explains things in a way that makes remembering them easier. His tests are kind of tough but there are only two and the final. Quiz Q's come straight from the homework. Don't miss class. His accent is easy to understand.

Jared is the best. Very smart man who just wants everyone to love and understand math as much as he does. Explains concepts well and has a schedule that he sticks to . Don't skip his class because everything he covers is the only thing he tests on. If you don't understand, ask him to slow down or explain in a different way.

Jared is by far the best professor I've ever had. His class is what finally allowed me to "get" math. His explanations are clear as day and he is always smiling. He always seems like he is glad to be in class, which helps a ton. Just listen and do the homework problems because he uses those exact problems on all the quizzes. TAKE HIS CLASS! :)

Lectures are clear and easy to understand, assigns homework but it's not checked or graded BUT the weekly quizzes are problems taken directly from the homework so it pays to just do it. Attendance isn't mandatory but his lectures are key. Willing to make adjustments to lectures and grading if it benefits majority of students. Wants you to learn.

I wish all math professors were as clear and concise when giving lectures. It is clear that he is very organized and plans lectures prior. This is really helpful as you have good examples to model homework after. Online program for homework was not required. He admits language barrier at beginning and makes effort to help students understand.

You will learn how to understand his accent with time but once he write it down on the board it makes sense. Eager and really nice.

Mr. Abwawo is a clearly concise professor. He knows when and how the students should study a subject, and he's not afraid to tailor the material to best suit the needs of the student. He's very straightforward and obviously cares a great deal about his profession. Solid teacher. Wonderful man.

Great teacher, would take him for all math coursed if I could. His accent is difficult at the beginning, but after a week or so it isn't a problem anymore. His lectures are very organized and easy to follow. He really wants the class to understand the material so he will spend as much time as he needs on certain sections. Would definitely recommend

Likes to make sure the class is understanding the material and why you use certain formulas. He does have an accent but he knows it and if you need anything repeated he is happy too. He has a great sense of humor. Doesnt give alot of homework. Quiz questions are taken from the practice problems. Great handwriting easy to follow, fun class!

Jared was the best math instructor I have ever had in TCC. His accent can be hard to understand sometimes, but he can clarify what he was talking about. I have asked him a lot of questions and he was dedicated to answer them. I'm glad to take him again for Math 153. I wish I didn't make mistakes that caused my grade though.

Nice professor, decent lectures. Organized when presenting his lectures. He does not like to stray off his agenda so don't ask questions regarding anything besides the topic he is discussing. His first exam was unexpectedly difficult. No one saw that coming. Also, hes very strict on notation but hes right.

His accent is something you can get used to. Do the homework, pay attention in class and ask him to clarify stuff you find difficult. He'll repeat it a million times if he has to. He's always smiling, always on time and his handwriting is on point (like seriously amazing).

Alright people, here's the low-down. He's a genuine teacher. Sit upfront, because you have a better time understanding him. Key to success : Do the homework. As long as you are in class and paying attention, the homework is a breeze, you can get a weeks worth done in an hour and a half. Go to the MARC before class the day of the quiz. You'll do gr8

This professor is Great. I will definitely be attending his next level class. Homework does not need to be turned in but helps to do because he only gives you problems that will be on the quizzes. He doesn't have you come up to the board because he does at least 5 examples for every unit and will answer any questions that you have while going over

He is a nice teacher, but his exams were so HARD. The exams were way beyond what he taught in class and we did in the homework. Sadly, he grades heavily on the exams, so it is hard to get a good grade from his class. No extra credits at all.

Sad that people comment about his accent. Its not hard to understand at all. He really tries to make sure everyone understands the foundations that will be applied in further math classes. He's willing to answer questions and explain in a variety of ways. He does quizzes almost every week and 3-4 tests throughout the quarter.

A great teacher!

This professor will simplify everything included in the course material, plus he's super organized. I strongly recommend taking this kina-of-tough class with him.

If you go to class everyday and actually pay attention, study for the quizzes that he assigns every week its easy. He doesnt assign too much work. Very manageable class.

Jared is very organized which I really appreciate. He is very clear about what is going to be studied each lecture with easy to follow handouts and examples which he explains thoroughly. Attendance and homework are not mandatory, but if you don't attend or practice the homework you'll have a VERY hard time. Wish there was more interaction in class

Fantastic!

His lectures are extremely clear, and he gives lecture guides out that have example problems on them which I found very helpful. There are weekly quizzes and the problems for those are selected from the homework. Also, he moves at a slow pace. He does not use the online component only the textbook which makes the class less expensive.

Professor Abwawo is an excellent math teacher. Lectures were very clear & organized. The class was not about memorizing patterns or groupwork-- it was about understanding the concepts. Rather than "dumb it down", he encouraged students to rise to the challenges. W/the prerequisite skills (essential!) and hard work, it's a very rewarding course.

He is very passionate about mathematics, and treats his students with respect and empathy. I am a student who has always struggled a lot in math classes, and I actually enjoyed this class! He does an awesome job at making math accessible and not intimidating.

If you are taking calculus to learn the subject in-depth, then take Jared's . He is amazing at taking many math concepts and breaking them down into simple, digestible lectures and assignments. If you are taking a class for just credit, then stay away; Jared's classes' will require you to actively understand the logic of math.

He's crystal clear during lectures, his class made me love math. Jared is kind of a genius and I recommend taking his math 147 class or higher. He also knows like five languages and is hilarious.

He's a good lecturer but can be a little quiet so prepare to sit in the front of the classroom. The whole class was pretty easy but the final project was insanely difficult! The questions on the final project felt way beyond what we were taught in class. In the end it was doable however prepare to ask for help. The rest of the course was easy.

I took this class during COVID, so the option to ask a question during a lecture wasnt there. But whenever I e-mailed him a question, he got back to me very fast and set up a time to meet privately to go over anything I had trouble with.

Prof. Abwawo was helpful and mostly understanding for needing an extension. If you have a decent handle on math already this class is a breeze. Read the book, watch the lectures, look at the notes and you should be fine. He doesn't give very great feedback so you have to correct mistakes on own. Spend some time learning the mat. and the hw is easy.

Professor Jared Abwawo did a really good job as a Math& 141 professor. In his lectures, he provides an online paper after getting introduced to each chapter along with a video to go over it. For homework, it's usually on web assign after learning a chapter of work, and some written assignments at the end of the week.

I liked this professor. He provided the tools to be successful in his course and gave good feedback on tests.

He only grades 1 hw assignment per week but don't be fooled, they can be very difficult so make sure to do the recommended practice problems and READ THE BOOK. The book is your best friend, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you don't understand it, he provides recorded lectures, youtube and office hours. Use them. And READ THE BOOK.

I took MATH238 online, a lot of his lecture notes are very bare-bones. The videos helped a lot, however, the homework is pretty difficult. The test are easier than the homework, thankfully. If you are good at pattern recognition and have a solid Calc 2 basis, then the class if fairly easy. I was able to the homework in about 2-3 hours for each one.

Mr. Jared Abwawo cares about his students. He knows what he is talking about. Listen! Dont miss class!

A calm excellent headed Teacher, he understands and listens and reads students' faces to see if they are following the lesson back to back.

Good lectures, rambles on a lot. Only one hw assignment a week and 3 tests in total. need to do well in everything to end with a good grade

Very good overall. Knows what he is talking about and answers questions very well. Excited to teach and friendly. Four homework problems per week. Likes to put difficult integrals in homework, but not on tests. Tests are timed and timing is pretty tight, but problems are much easier than homework.

Tough professor, but engaging lectures. Textbook and Unstuck study were key for success. Attend class, do the work, and you can get a solid grade.

Never enjoyed a math class because of the teacher, but Mr. Abwawo is great! He always made sense in his lectures and the tests were very easy, final was more difficult. Also always sticks to his office hours! All tests online are open book, so i'd recommend taking online.

Abwawo made me really care about math he was caring and passionate and an amazing teacher. Best math teacher Ive ever had. However, your grade solely depends on midterms and the final so if you are not good at tests fair warning. But he will try very hard to help you and prepare you for these tests just know that the course moves very fast

Loved his class and was very friendly to students. Answered anything he was asked.

I love Prof. Abwawo. Whole course was easy to follow with 2 assignments/wk. Three exams, very easy grading (wrong formula -> partial credit sometimes). Wanted feedback but couldn't come to office hours yet he emailed back with tons of advice. Book+Videos aren't good, use blackpenredpen. Forum was nice, one dude answered everyones questions (MVP!).
