Jason is fair, helpful, and cute (for a country boy). Do the homework! If you can do this, the tests will be a breeze. His test questions are either from the easier sections of the homework, or they're like the example problems he does on the board. Advice: Don't be slack. Don't be late. Don't act dumb. Cute, silly, and mouthy won't help either.

He shows you EXACTLY what you need to know for each test and gives extra credit. Yes, he's strict on attendance. It's not personal. Welcome to the real world, folks.

His lectures are easy to follow, i guess you could say for Math, he puts things into basic vocabulary.

He is an alright teacher. I think that he uses to much profane language. He does not make you feel comfortable asking questions, in fact he makes you feel quite stupid.

Don't miss class because you'll miss something important. He takes attendance the minute class starts. You really have to put the work in yourself. Show your work on the test cause he will give you points. He is not much help, does not really like when you ask questions, he expects you to just know the material.

Tests are very difficult! You better NOT ask him any questions or to work out problems you got wrong on a test. He told me"I give you the answer, it's up to you to find it". I pay him to answer questions not google! I only got a B in this class bc the final is worth 2 test grades and replaces your lowest (btw we could use a notecard for the final)

I am honestly surprised that his rating is so low on here. Mr Wetzel is a great math teacher. He is very chill and also teaches very well. I am personally good at math but he also explains everything well for people who are struggling. Showing up to class is very important so you'll know the material but other than that this class is an easy A/B!

He will quiz you to make sure you're paying attention. Do not bring your cell phone, headphones, or earbuds into his class & expect to use them. He doesn't have time to deal with your interruptions. He's very no-nonsense. This is not an easy class so be prepared to work for your grade. Also, don't ask for extensions or your final grade will show it

Don't come into class late, make sure you're paying attention in class or he will call you out, don't have your phone out, and do all the assignments. Sometimes he will call on a random person to tell him something (for me it was something we learned like 3 units ago) so just make sure you are able to remember things you learned a long time ago.

I've had past stats experience, but I still found this professor confusing. At times he made things unnecessarily complicated and made students feel inferior for asking questions.

Please hear us out when we say, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He rarely teaches at all and offers no help to his students. You need to show work for every single little thing, because he will accuse you of cheating and report you for misconduct, even if you have proof of doing the work. Also not very nice and very condescending when emailing questions.

I read the reviews for this class and was nervous but after the first week, the class was easy enough. Do the homework and quizzes enough time to memorize them, learn the calculator to help you even more, and take notes! Learning the functions was helpful with the tests. The Max questions on the test were 20, most fairly easy if you understand math

Jason Wetzel is great for mature students who take personal responsibility for learning material, but might be a bad fit for students seeking high levels of interaction. His videos are fast and don't waste time. Grades are posted reliably and quickly; he spends time doing his job instead of apologizing.

The man isn't difficult to get along with. Biggest things are do your homework and attend class. Each unit has a set of notes. Make sure you use those, he teaches with them. Take notes. Make sure you know how to use your calculator. Expect pop quizzes a week or two into each unit. He goes over test and quiz answers afterwards. Good teacher overall.
