One of the best math teachers I ever had. Always was there for you. Lenient. Dedicates his time staying at the Math Discovery Center till 9PM to help his students out. WORK HARD, and it will definitely pay off. I love STATISTICS because of him! :) He's really nice! I highly recommend him!
He is the best teacher ever, if i can, i would take all my math classes with him. You understand everything he explains and will explain material over and over until you understand it. His test are not hard. It depends on your level of preparation. If you did the HW, and understand the material, you'll be fine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Best math teacher i've ever had. Wants the best for his students and is very hardworking. Explains it in a way that everyone understands and is won't stop until everyone gets it. AWESOME.
Awesome teacher!!!!! Best math teacher
great teacher for math, he explains and explains if you do not understand then office hours great teacher I did not A but now I like math. thank you Jeremy. Take him take him P.S. fair grader.
I loved this class. I wish I could take Prof. Talaoc for every math class.
Greatest professor I have had at Glendale community college
He's a good teacher but c'mon his tests are really hard. Almost impossible to get an A. he gives true and false question on almost every exam and most of the students would miss points on those. He's really nice and helpful but made calculus harder than it is.
He's a good teacher but its almost impossible to get an A in his class.I always had A grades in math but his class was a different one.He puts too many PROVES in the tests and the FINAL!...even though his class is not honors.If you need an A grade...NOT RECOMMENDED....too much work and you gonna be proving stuff that's been proved already...
Most helpful math teacher in GCC. You can ask him anything and he will help you. Very fair grader and cares for his students. Got high B's on my tests and ended up with an A in his class. Highly Recommended than other teachers! Plus you understand the material very clearly afterwards.
He is a great professor, always gave help when needed and was always there for his students. His tests always had a challenging problem or two but in my opinion they were fair. Math isn't something you get just by sitting through class so if you do all of your hw and really try you can get an A. His lectures are clear and so is what he wants from u
Mr. Talaoc deserves a great deal of credit and my gratitude for he is indeed a very good instructor. Pay attention to his lectures,take notes, do your homework, and exploit your ultimate aptitude on the given tests and you will get your A! By the way, don't forget that he is very friendly with partial credit.
I wish he teaches Stats on Fall but unfortunately he doesn't, I had him math 101 and he was professor perfect ! why you are not teaching stat in this fall:( highly recommended
Great professor, very clear on what he wants, and a very nice person as well. A very fair class- You get the grade you deserve. If you work hard, you will do well. Professor Talaoc is extremely helpful and makes math interesting. I highly recommend this class.
He's awesome! Really helpful and cares about his students. Always spends extra time teaching harder topics to students who don't understand it well. His tests are not very easy but if you follow his hints and pay attention in class you can get an A. Also he likes to prove theorems so that makes this class a bit more challenging than other classes.
He is an amazing man and wonderful teacher. Definitely recommend taking him. Best math teacher I've had. He cares so much about his students and wants all of his students to be successful.
Ah where to begin. Jermey is an amazing teacher who really loves and understands the concepts he is teacher. His tests are not easy, there will be a lot of proofs, but there in lies the greatness of his classes. You are guarenteed to leave the class knowing the subject extremely well. Overall a great guy and fun teacher.
Excellent instructor very straight forward and clear.
Jeremy is the best. I love his teaching style half lecture have homework time. Hes great I honestly cruised through the class but all one needs to do is to listen to get a good grade.
He takes the time to explain until you understand. Awesome teacher. Gives time in class to do homework
summer class now..facts:1)hws are important.he explains every Qs about the hws for one hour.2)go to the SI,get 10 extra pts(1.5%) 3)explain clearly and passionate 4)drop the lowest test 5)test can be tough for some people. Finish hws,read books,go to SI,and more importantly,do more practice....then no problem. HIGHLY RECOMMENED !!!! U DO LEARN!
I love him. He is perfect teacher and his tests are very easy. You just need to study
Probably the best professor I have had so far, he really knows his math well and can do every single problem and then some. If you want to learn the right way and be challenged then take him. His test are not hard because all he does is make sure you understand the concepts so you know how to use it everywhere. Just go to class and ask questions.
Prof. Talaoc is fantastic! He comes to class prepared and he makes math interesting. He is very patient and kind. He encouraged us to email him with questions and he would respond to our email as promised. I wish all the math teachers at Glendale were as organized and devoted.
One of the best professors I have ever had. He is really helpful, crystal clear and a very kind person.
He is the best best professor ever. He explains very well. He helps his students one by one. He is a good teacher
He is a very good teacher. Helpful. He makes math easy to understand and keeps you motivated.
Professor Talaoc is the best math professor in the GCC
Best Stats Professor at GCC! You will not regret taking it with him. He is crystal clear and available at the MDC, at his office and even holds study groups outside of class to help the class if needed! You have to work in this class because it is MATH. You cannot BS your way through it. Take notes, pay attention and study and you will do great!
Greatest math teacher I've had in a long time. Really shows interest in the subject and wants everyone to really understand. He is very available to all his students.
Best teacher ever
he is extremely helpful and he teaches in such a simple way that everyone understands. He is the BESTTTT math teacher ive ever had! math is usually my least favorite subject but he makes it so easy! THANK YOU PROFESSOR T!!!!! I highly recommend him!
He is the ONE good teacher GCC has to offer, you will not meet a professor as good as him in the whole math department for higher division courses. HE SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST OPTION IF HE IS TEACHING A CLASS.
He is the best math teacher at GCC. You really learn a lot from him. His exams can be a bit tricky but he prepares you for it
Professor Talaoc is an awesome Statistics teacher. He uses power points and he goes step by step to help you understand stats. If you are a disability student, I would recommend taking Professor Talaoc. He is very patient and he has a lot of compassion in helping students. God Bless him!
Awesome Teacher! Very Patient and compassionate.
Hands down the best MATH teacher ever! He used powerpoint so it was very easy to understand the material and is always trying to help his students out instead of tricking them on the test. the study guides are super helpful basically same problems but changed the numbers in the question. awesome guy
Best Math Teacher ever! He tells you exactly what will be on his tests. Study hard, take good notes, and go to his office hours if you need help with anything!
If you think math 136 it is not easy to understand or hard to pass because of the word problem, Just take with Mr. Talaoc , before every test he gives old sample test and it is really helpful..... :)) :D
prof Talaoc is the very Best!! I have never seen someone as enthusiastic and helpful as him. He is extremely patient, respectful and is always there for you! If you study the review exams that he provides you should be fine. The group project is easy and he provides extra credit as well. I enjoyed taking stats with him. Definitely recommended.
He won't curve, and extra credit is few. The most important thing in his class is to understand the concepts behind what he's teaching, and NOT just put in a lot of pointless work. 95% of your grade will be exams, but he is an easy grader. He will go through all your work and take very few points off for mistakes. Very great instructor.
Bottom line, he is the best math professor at GCC. He really cares for his students. Very knowledgeable and passionate. HE knows who to teach higher level math. final 35%- 60 % class exams - 5 % hmw- non extra credit. If you want to learn math take with him. Although he is not an easy A professor, he is very fair to grade your exam.
If you think how is the best professor in higher division math at GCC, then without any doubt the answer is prof. Talaoc. His lectures and reviews are preparing students for the test so well that you just need to do your hmw and get an A in this class. Very knowledgeable and helpful. 4 test (60%) - final is 35% - 5% hmw.
He is a A+ professor, if you want to learn and enjoy then take any higher math level class with him. Amazing guy and he is extremely patient, respectful and is always there for you
Best professor at GCC for higher level math classes. Very knowledgeable, patient, helpful. Math is interesting and joyful when he is teaching.
Where do I start? Greatest teacher I've ever encountered. Helped me conquer my fear of math. SO organized and clear in what he wants. Day before tests goes over exactly what to expect. He says number 1 is like this, number 2 do this, 3 is this. WHAT MORE DO U WANT. U know exactly what to study. Not easy but doable he gives u all the tools I LOV U
Cmon now do I even have to comment? He has not ONE negative comment. I almost want to leave a negative comment so no one takes him so his class stays open! HAHA best teacher ever. Amazing man organized and helpful. Gives SOO much partial credit and really knows his stuff. Tells u exactly what is coming on tests . What a great man. I love u proff
Best Math teacher i ever had even though i hate math, he made it so understandable and so easy. He's always there for you , you don't have to be his student. It's fun in his class too. there's no way to not pass his class :)))))
I am the worst at Math. Best teacher I've ever had. Can't complain. He's always there for his student and answers every question you might have.
Professor Talaoc is a great instructor and makes you work hard for an A. The only downfall is that he will almost always take an extra 5 minutes to complete the days material but on the test days he never allows extra time to complete the test. His tests are fairly long and leave very little time for thinking.
Best Math teacher I've ever had. He goes through each problem with detail and takes the time to meet with all of his students during office hours.
The professor explains everything in detail. He cares and helps you with any problem you are having. You'll understand his lectures. I learned a lot from him. I recommend you to take this class or any that he is teaching with him.
Best math teacher I've ever had. Is very clear, answers even the dumbest questions like they aren't dumb. Helps everyone all the time. If I could take him for every math class I need I would. Explains everything, breaks it all down. He could make the hardest math easier. Excellent teacher and nice man
He is one of the nicest professors I have ever seen. he has a good personality. very optimistic young man. 100% reccommended professor. you will complete his class by loving math.
This was his first time teaching a differential equations course, and he didn't do a good job. Unlike in his algebra classes, the lectures were confusing and not well organized. The good part is he usually told us what exactly to expect on the tests. The bad part is the tests. He likes to throw curveballs. And the final exam was full of them.
Great Professor!! Tells you exactly what to expect on his tests; but yes he does trick you on his tests so watch out. His tests are long however, make sure to FINISH the test because if you left out 1-2 problems it will hurt your grade a lot. Drops lowest test at the end. Final was hard but I have seen harder finals than it overall i recommend him!
The subject is not hard, his tests are. Most of the coefficients in test questions are fractions that make it a pain during the long test. The tests are long because he believes no one should have time go back & check their work except only 2-3 people. He loves proofs & does unnecessary proofs instead of doing more examples. He's very respectful.
Great class. Just study and you'll do fine.
Just finished Math138 to transfer to CSUN. This was his first time teaching this course, and did an excellent job. He is there for you and willing to help. You will the need the book, and need to do projects. I highly recommend him for this course. He also is willing to answer any HW questions and topics related in the text.

Too many proofs, too few examples
He is the ANGEL of the math department. I wish i could have taken him for all my math classes. he gives allot of extra points for test so you grade goes up. if you hate math he well make it that you love his class.
He is truly the best math professor. His lectures are very interesting. Before the tests, he tells what exactly to expect. Gives a lot of partial credit. Test questions are based on the homework. Take him, you'll never regret
He is the most amazing professor i ever had, He is vary helpful and kind to all student,You have a higher chance of passing his class then anyone ,You will regret not taking is class at list ones in your time hear,I wish he thought all my math classes.
He is a great professor who is talented at explaining material and making expectations known. He is very lenient on homework but if you dont do the homework/ try your best to understand the material well, without a doubt, you will sink. Calc 2 is no joke. Work hard and your effort wont be taken for granted.
Professor Jeremy is the kindness teacher I ever meet. He is very clear in his lectures and shows you step by step. I am someone who has never been good in math and he make things easy to understand. He is available during office hours. This teacher cares for his students and wants them to pass. :)
The best professor I had at GCC! Took him for Calc 3 over the summer. He's extremely clear, does PLENTY of review before tests, and uses great examples to teach. He doesn't just copy the examples from the book. You'll definitely need to practice plenty outside of class, but it's all very manageable. He puts proofs on every test, but no surprises.
Best professor that I have ever taken!!!!
I enjoyed his class. His tests aren't easy but he specifies what to expect so they aren't too bad. LOTS of proofs, but he prepares you for them. Super likable personality so his lectures are always fun to listen to, and every word he says, matters. When he hints something will be on the test, it will. Final was hard, but I'd gladly take him again.
Absoluetly enjoyed his class because of his amazing personality and great lectures. You have to put extra time outside of class to do the homework and hours of studying in order to ace this class. The final was hard but manageble if you studied. Be alert, focus and definitly NEVER be absent in this class because you will miss A LOT.
De. Talaoc is such a fantastic teacher, a real mentor and so patient and relax when it comes to students confusion and slowness. He repeats and answers every time you ask with such a great patient and that admirable. He is very respectful and with character teacher and I definitely recommend him over any other Math teacher. 4 tests 1 final!
The best math professor ever ever. I have numerous tutors for math since five been put on earth and was terrified to take this class. This professor is so amazing that I didnt even need a tutor. He teaches amazingly is very helpful and the nicest professor ever. If I can do well in this class so can you. You will never regret taking him. AMAZING
The best math professor I have ever taken. Some professors lecture for a bit and expect you to learn the rest from the book. Professor Talaoc is the complete opposite. He teaches you better ways to do problems than how the book explains it and he will answer all your questions. If you put the effort and do all the hw and study. Your passing.
I have no idea how he has good reviews. The entire class is struggling bec his tests are 10x harder then the homework. He doesnt have a study guide he just says what section the problems are gonna be from which is not helpful at all. No extra credit either. He also gives 2 proofs (10 points) on each test. No one knows how to do them.
All imma say is I have never gotten lower then a 87 on a math test in my life and in his class Im getting Cs. His tests are very hard I dont know if hes doing it on purpose because its online he thinks people cheat. He gives random proofs on tests which are a lot of points so you cant do those then you are already at a B.
His tests are so hard every problem looks like an English essay.
Great teacher and clear explanations. Would definitely take him again.
Explanations are clear. I had to work hard but the class is doable. Prof Talaoc is caring and there for you.
Professor Talaoc is a good man. However, this class is very test heavy. The tests are worth 95% of your grade and the insane amount of homework is only with 5% which does nothing to your grade. The tests are extremely difficult and lengthy. There is no assignments that could help bring your grade up. Very difficult course.
As others have said the class is test heavy. The class is not an easy A, but he grades pretty easy so that helps a lot. I currently have a solid A.
Prof. Talaoc is THE BEST. His lectures are really thorough. He is super caring and always there for office hours to answer any of your questions! I would definitely recommend him if you want to learn the material well.
Math has always been my tough subject. I spent 2 semesters trying to add his class because I found no other professor help me understand STATS better than Dr. Talaoc. If you miss a class you will miss a huge chunk of learning. He is very caring and extremely patient. Thanks to him I transferred out of GCC!
Great professor! With all the chaos going on with online classes and COVID-19, he was still able to maintain good teaching habits. Lectures are clear to understand and basically everything he highlights in lectures are going to be on the test. Very generous when it came to explaining what was on the test and was ALWAYS available for extra help.
Professor Talaoc is the best!!! You will learn more from him than you will from any other math professors! Your grade is only based on the tests (95%) and he also likes to put proofs on them. However, he is very nice and caring and will tell you what to expect. Take him!
He truly cares about your well-being and your ability to grasp the information. Everything that you get tested on is reviewed before the exam, and he gives you many examples beforehand. He does not make you feel stupid if you do not remember how to solve the algebra portion of the problem. Always asks students questions and engages with the class.
As someone who hasn't taken a calc class in 5 years, I think professor Talaoc's class was the amazing! He did a great job at explaining concepts and being very supportive to the class. He is very passionate about his class and students and he really shows it. You will no doubt pass the class as long as you attend, study, do hw and participate.
Professor Talaoc is a gem for anyone nervous about taking a math class. He is everything anyone could want in their math class: patient, accessible outside of class, clear in explaining the material and he goes over test questions beforehand. He even gives generous partial credit. He gives you the tools to pass, but you have to put in the effort.
Amazing professor, very caring and always answers questions
Professor Talaoc is just an honest guy that is more than nice to his students. He loves math and honestly is very passionate in teaching. I honestly with all my heart love him so much but SO MUCH HOMEWORK!!! Few days before the exams, we go over one by one on sample exams and he make sures everyone is good. So much positive energy and super nice.
Amazing professor, made math so easy to understand. Great explanations, very patient with students, answers everyones questions immediately (including emails). You can tell this professor really cares about his students.
can't believe I'm rating bc he's THAT amazing. What a genuine, kind, and humble person he is!! He's on YOUR side and wants you to do well. SUPER UNDERSTANDING. explains until you understand. don't ever hesitate to ask him questions. never have I ever not had testing anxiety except in his class. no trick q's on exams. accessible outside class.
Dr. Talaoc is a Fantastic professor. He is a very caring and wise professor. He makes math very easy to understand. I wish you could be in her class and experience math with his great lectures.
One of the best prof ive ever taken next to Davis. caring, patient, understanding, amazing teacher and person. The BEST professor to take overall. Lots of HW but its daily thats why. 4 exams, 1 final, HW after every class, drops lowest exam score with 80% HW grade. take him if dedicated to the subject because he WILL help you
For someone who has not taken a math class in over 5 years, have to say that Prof. Talaoc is amazing at what he does, he is a vary caring and humble professor. He truly is a great teacher, he explains his lectures so well, and even when we wouldn't understand he would take his time to explain the material to us. Make sure to ask questions.
I really enjoyed this class, Ive never been good at math so I was really nervous but he made it very easy and smooth with the lectures. He's very sweet as well, he actually cares about his students. I recommend to take his class.
I recommend MATH 135. You learn about a bunch of topics of math in that class but just the basics of each topic, so it doesn't get too difficult. He is extremely patient, caring and is always willing to help. The exams are not super difficult and he grades hw off of participation. Never thought I would get A in math, I know its because of him.
He is the best Professor at GCC. Take him without any worries. He is absolutely great teacher with a brilliant understanding and wonderful personality.
Dr. Talaoc is the best. He is super intelligent, understanding, caring, and patient. Take his class and you will not regret it.
I cannot find any word to describe how great Professor Talaoc was! He made me love math/stats. He is just the best of the bests!
I can not say this enough but hands down BEST PROFESSOR AT GCC! I was so worried about taking another math class after the last one, but man... he is so passionate about what he does and it clearly shows. He is kind and patient with his students and wants them to learn and succeed.
Took Calc 1 with him last winter. Although it was a 5 week class, I never felt confused. He made hard concepts very doable and fun. One of the best teachers I've EVER had. Gives a million examples so you always know what to do on tests/HW. He gave us practice exams which were so similar to the actual tests. I can't recommend him enough, take him!!!
Professor Talaoc is an amazing math teacher who makes the subject engaging and manageable. Lectures are helpful, and resources like unstuck study are great for study prep.
