He's very nice guy. his teaching is easy to understand. there's no hw, tests are take-home test. he also gives you sample questions before midterm and final which are very helpful.
Very easy and laid-back...makes the course enjoyable. I LOVE THE ACCENT!
Carbonell is awesome! easiest math class you'll ever take and he's pretty cool too! the only thing u do all semester are a couple take home tests...u dont really have to show up but you'll want to after you hear his sexy accent! very cool, helpful, easy and VERY leniant on turning in work.
Sexiest accent ever!!!!!!!!!! Easy class.
Incredible teacher. He explaines well. Answers all your questions,until you get it. He uses different examples until you understand the concept. Very patient.Stays after class to help you. Gives no homework,and if he does,than he wont collect it. The best part is that he gives take-home tests.
Easy, laid back, and smart. Just show up a few times a semster, get the take home tests and your set. Very,very easy.

from a rating of 1-10 (10 being the highest), i give him 2 thumbs up.
All I have to say is WOW! This profesor knows his stuff and it's very easy to get an A, BUT he is not good at teaching, and be ready to stress out when finals are near. It's a risky class. Tests are take home and no homework. So if your good in math take him, if not you better work ur ass off for finals.
OMG!! This class is every college students dream!! No homework, doesnt take attendance, not even from the first day, take home tests, no final, doesnt care if u come or not. I love him, he's so chill and laid back. Just go often, and get the take home tests and thats all u need. The best teacher in the world!!!
The best teacher I ever had in math! So clear, goes step by step, explains many times, answers every question clearly. Doesn't take attendance, but if you want an A, don't miss his classes. Everything he teaches is on final. I highly recommend him.
I had an A goin into the final and when i took the math department final i ended up with a D as my final grade. He is easy becasue he lets u cheat for every test except the final which is what they really grade u on. He is lazy and always late for class. Not to easy because he doesn't teach.
While I would like to say this man is a good professor, I cannot. He will help you whenever possible and is great at explaining, but I just cant get over the fact that he let our class alone during tests, while the entire class, excluding myself cheated. I had an A going into the final and got a C..he said that i got a 56 on the final, which is a C
He's an easy teacher, but he wears the exact same thign to class everday and he is very repetitive. He isn't a good teacher, but he does know his stuff.
NO HW. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY? EASIEST ****ING CLASS EVER IF YOU FAIL IT YOU MUST BE ****ING RETARDED.
No brainer Guy can't teach but I loved the class
WOWWWW WHAT AN EASY CLASS....TAKE HOME TESTS....NO HW.... CHILLLLLL ASSSSSSSSSS PROFESSOR.....HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TEACHING, BUT DOESNT' REALLY CARE IF WE GET IT...AS LONG AS HE'S GETTING PAID....HAHAH THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT PROFESSOR EVER!!

this class is for those majoring in something not relating to math at all. class is real chill, professor seems like a pothead to me..i wanna get high with him sometime...nice guy, just be nice to him, show up to class to show some respect, do all your work, and ask lots of questions. he sometimes even helps you with the test if you ask the question nicely...nice guy
Can't teach for****, and the book sucked. The tests were takehome which is good because I would have to sit with the book in my lap and learn all the crap as I took the actual test. Not a mean guy though. Easy grader, flexible on due dates. Take it if you suck at math because you won't have to DO any actual math.
This guy was sooo chiiiill.. he would come to class late.. take home tests.. attendance wasn't even necessary.. but I went to class.. You gotta really study your ass off for the final.. because since it's a take home test most students don't really listen to his lectures. He knows his stuff though.. Good teacher..Willing to help you out!
I don't like math and i was scared of this class because it is a common final with all the other classes.His tests are take home, so you don't know how u will end up.however,I didn't miss any lecture,I asked questions and I studied, so I got an A in the class. Dont think of doing good if you dont do the take home yourself...
wowwww. pleaseee take this classs!!! if you dont like math or ur major doesnt need it or u just dontt feel like working for math...TAKE HIM!!! you dont do anything. hes sucha kool guy tho. like talking wise. anyway he doesnt take role. he laughs randomly. you can never go to class and get a B. i LOVEEE thisss guyyy. best math class.
SOOOOOO EASY! never go and still pass the class with a high grade. the tests are mostly take-home. if you don't like math or don't like to work then this is the teacher for you!
This teacher is ridiculous and boring. But the class was overall EASY. Started going beginning of semester and barely went once a week. Just make sure you make friends in class so you know when you actually do have to show up. And kiss his ass every once in a while. This class is confusing at time but it doesn't require many brain cells.
Super nice, he's really smart and knows what he's talkin about, but chooses to be easy and chill. Some take home tests maybe, never any hw, possibly and take home final!! for sure!!
this guy is funny i think he's **** every time he comes to class. you could pass the class if you know your math but if you don't know your math don't take it. he does help but he thinks he's helping you. he sometime write the wrong thing on the board. some of his test were take home some were in class. he's funny if you talk to him in class.
I failed math twice before and took his class and got a B. What he covers in class is whats on the test, hardly any homework. I am horrible at math but this guy really does make it easier. I recommend him to everyone that has to take this class.
This guy is a pretty chill prof. He gives out problem that help us prepare for the test. And when he gives out tests, there take home tests, and we can ask him how to do problems that are on the test, basically he lets us cheat, he lets us work together on the tests and get answers from each other he even gives us the answers to the tests.
This guy is a straight forward teacher, nothing interesting and nothing extremely boring, just teaches the class as he's suppose to. I think he wears the same clothes all the time, or at least for the whole week, and he gets chalk dust on himself alot. But basically his class is easy cuz he gives us the answers to the test problems, kinda funny
HOT HOT HOT ! super funny teacher. NO attendance needed. NO homeworks. take home midterms. NO need to study for finals cos u can copy other ppl's papers and he doesnt care. make sure u ask him for solution during the finals cos he will tell u the solution!
I'm a bit iffy about this professor. He knows his stuff but doesn't explain things too well. Take home test are good but then again you pretty much don't learn much. Hope he was better... oh yeah he has a sexy voice.
pretty good professor, but i think if you are really really really bad at math you shouldnt take this class, but im bad at math and the take home test are actualy helpful. nice professor- if you just listen and follow along you will do fine, plus if you just read the book it helps too, and he answers all questions and explains alot if you ask
LOL! I don't know what to say about this professor except that he is really chill, funny, and does not stress you out at all! He's good for those, like me, who suck at math and if you just need the class to fulfill a GE requirement! Take him when you can!
this guy is the chillest ever. if your a slacker take him. take home exams and final is pretty chill. hes a very nice guy, doesnt get mad at anything i would take him for every class if i had the chance!
WOW! I honestly don't know what to say about this man. He seems to hate the subject more than the students...loll. His take home exams are a gift if you're not a math person.
Wow! This guy is probably the best teacher you will EVER have in your life. Take home midterm while giving the answers to us. If I ever saw him outside of class, I'd buy him a drink.
HE IS HORRIBLE!!! I wouldnt recommend him to ANYONE! if you dont want to learn anything, take him. he gives take home tests which are nice but he doesnt give homework so you dont learn anything. Half of the class wasnt ready for the final. I DONT RECOMMEND HIM!
This guy is a joke. He often doesn't show up for class, not telling you ahead of time, so your time is wasted. Gives take home tests, and no homework, which is cool, but he's impossible to understand or reach outside of class. Would not recommend him at all. Take anyone else.
For all Art, Music, and Journalism majors, or anyone else who sucks at math, he is truly a gift from God. He's the most laid-back teacher ever.. easy class.. awesome grader :]
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD AT CSUN!!!!DEFINITELY A PROFESSOR THAT DESERVES A CHILI PEPPER
Here is the thing, if you are just looking to get a passing grade, he is your guy. BUT you will not learn anything at all, and come time for the Gateway class, you will be screwed! He is a temporary solution if you aren't good at math, but it will haunt you later when you realize you learned nothing. It's not worth it, take someone who can teach!
He is a great prof. very helpful, and easy to understand. has an attractive voice and he would look so hot if he cut his hair. on second thought he would make it hard to concentrate. highly recommend him if you need this class for a pre-req.
Dont listen to the person who said he wont prepare you for the gateway. I took him and i learned alot from his class. He is very helpful and he actually gives you the math you need to know. Not all the other extra stuff that will never apply later on. He is awesome. His style is different, but i liked it. It kept me interested.
useless, no homework, take home test with no feedback. not reachable.
cute as can be. show up, participate and will do ok.
This guy rocks! Take home tests, no HW, come to class if you want, doesn't take roll cept in beginning. If you do take home tests, and prep the final study guide he gives (which is prev. yrs test)-you're straight. He is REACHABLE when needed. Came and met me at starbucks on fri. day b4 finals to have extend. test signature-LOVED HIM.
You really do not learn much. It is a lot of self teaching. Class is not mandatory and all the homework is online. It is really easy to get a good grade but he does not prepare you for the final. Get Ngo if you can she is amazing, even for lab. Most people ace the class ad fail the final.
he is an OK teacher.he is pretty chill but you have to pay attention to pass. the math department has changed their rules so you have to pass the final with above a 50 percent to pass the class. he assigns homework and gives you time to complete it. i would take him if you need math 102. if you can just avaoid math 102 it sucks
Torn. Super easy in terms of h/w, grading and attendance - BUT the final is given by the math dept. and I'm worried I won't have the over 50% it takes on it to pass the class, whether I have an A going into it or not. But all being said - glad I'm taking the risk cause I HATE MATH so I'm digging the path of least resistance and crossing my fingers!
EASY MATH PROFESSOR..HE IS VERY LENIENT..VERY KIND AND PATIENT..EASY EXAM BUT THE FINAL WAS NOT GIVEN BY HIM..IT IS GIVEN BY THE MATH DEPARTMENT..TAKE HIM..RECOMMENDED!!!
Professor Carbonell is very helpful and patient. I definitely recommend for students to take his math 310 class.
He rocks!! Awesome teacher!! He is funny and Easy. You have to do a lot of studying on your own.. but it is a hard class. He makes it easier :)
I had taken this class once before at a different school & didn't do so well, but this teacher was able to explain things in a very basic way & I learned alot from him in an unstressful environment. I would highly recommend this math professor!!!
He is an easy grader but doesnt seem like he enjoys his job. Easy to pass, can put you to sleep. On a side note, this guy reminds me of a wet dog, why anybody thought he was hot is beyond me.
Boring class because he just lectures -- a bit monotone but a sweet guy, easy grader, helpful. Gives study guides prior to exam and goes over the study guides. Study guide pretty much the same as exams.
Jesus is very laid back;calm cool and collective.He lets you use your notes,book(don't buy it)and review(that looks exactly like the test)Easy A for all the tests(but time consuming)BUT the final is cumulative: NO NOTES,NO BOOK,NO REVIEW NO CALCULATOR. He doesn't grade you final the mathh dept. doe. Do bad on the final not likely to pass the class
Professor Carbonell lets you use notes/study guides on all quizes. I mainly got B's even when I had the study guide right in front of me, but still easy. He can be kind of a space cadet and pretty much copies the study guide onto the board. You don't really need to go except on test days & to get the study guide. Will NOT prepare you for FINAL!
He was a good prof and eventho he seemed out of it most of the time he still was very helpful lol.Tests EXACTLY as essential skills,changes #s only, he recommends we study over which really helped.Class always half gone due to attendance not being mandatory.Very laid back and really enjoyed and learned well in his class,got a B+. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Awesome teacher. I hate math, can't stand it. He made it pretty easy to understand. Jokes around a bit, seems to confuse himself a lot though which does make it easier to stay awake. Tests are just what he uses as examples so WRITE THEM DOWN. Do that, study, you will get an A, without a doubt.
I am not a math person, but professor Carbonell managed to make the subject easier for me to understand. Just make sure to study well prior to taking the final exam. He is a nice man and will help you if you ask. I would recommend him.
Really nice professor. Very helpful and really tries to help students do well in his class.
Jesus Carbonell is a really good Math 103 professor. He would tell you the formula and how/why it was used later. It is Calculus for Economics and Business, so it isn't an easy subject, however if you study there should be no reason why you don't pass. I got an A- with him in the summer. Make sure you are good with College Algebra (Math 102).
This guy is a great professor, made Calculus seem straightforward like College Algebra and yet you were challenged at the same time. He is straightforward 3 midterms and a common department final, I got an A- with him for Summer Session. He cares a lot about his students and can explain in-depth. AMAZING professor.
Carbonell is a great professor to have for math. He's patient with helping his students understand and has some funny math jokes here and there. He prepares you for his tests with a test review and some of those questions pop up on his test. He always gives a lot of time to submit homework. Basically, he makes math very understandable and seem easy
His lectures were pretty boring, but very straight forward. You don't need the book as long as you go to class. He is also really lenient with all the tests and homework. I would recommend him!
Math 103 is such a great class with Professor Carbonell basically Math 103 is the business version of Math 102- College Algebra, however it also contains difference quotient limits, and derivatives, and marginal analysis which is why it satisfies the Business Math GE requirement.
If you are terrible at math, DON'T TAKE HIM. HE DOES NOT PREPARE YOU FOR THE FINAL. He is so lenient and laid back. Never takes attendance. He doesn't reinforce homework. Awesome right? NO NOT REALLY. If you do decide to take him. Try not to use your notes during the tests. IT WILL HELP YOU. TRUST ME. I didn't and I was worried for the final.
Professor Carbonell is very lenient and does not reinforce turning in homework. He lets you use notes during tests. If you have trouble with math, I would recommend you take a class that offers more help. If you decide to take him, make sure to take good notes, attend class and try not to use your notes for the tests. That would help for the final.
He's awesome! I recommend him!
I was scared to take BUS CALC because I am horrible at math, but I needed it for a prerec. This class is totally doable, and with prof C he makes it possible with notes for tests and lectures. Homework helps your grade, he gives extra credit, and if your worried about the final, just use the final review the math building holds before finals.
He's a cool guy and his lectures are straight forward. If you pay attention in class and take notes you should do fine on the tests. He'll also allow you to ask him for help during a test for a question or two.
He's pretty clear on how to tackle the problems and he is always there to help you out. He keeps the lecture short and straight to the point.
WORST CLASS AND TEACHER EVER.
Lectures are very dry and attendance is not necessarily mandatory. It is math though so showing up is better than teaching yourself. Very fair grader and he wants everyone to pass. He is very flexible.
Laid-back and lenient, but he knows what he is talking about. He allowed us a cheat sheet for exams. Just know be sure to the formulas for the final, though. Also, find the math department's study guide for the final exam and use it. There were things on the final that were not covered on the exams (but were covered in lecture), so be prepared!
Class isn't mandatory if you've taken trigonometry in high school. Class feels long and lectures feel dragged out. One-page notes are allowed for exams. Online homework and quizzes are difficult if you don't know the material, but date completions are extended. Although, do not rely on the extensions because they do end.
Professor Carbonell is very helpful and willing to work with students if they're having trouble. His test are pretty simple and he does have review sessions before each Exam. I do recommend going to class especially if Math isn't easy for you. Keep up with the class, don't fall behind it can be pretty difficult to catch up.
Jesus Carbonell is a HORRIBLE teacher. His lectures consist of him reading directly out of the workbook and mumbling whatever he says to the first three rows of the class. Find another professor!
Professor Carbonell is awesome!
book: yes you need the book because thats how he lectures the class. tests: 3 exams and 1 final (soo easy, you can use one page of notes) except for final attendance: does not take attendance after a week of class study guides: his study guides are litterally the test. easy/hard: so easy! always studies 2 days before and got A's/B's on my test
Not the best teacher for such a hard subject. If you are bad at math I do not recommend this professor, if you took calc before he's okay. He does not teach he just goes through the workbook. There are 3 test which are like his study guides. This class requires a lot of work online but he will extend the dates if students are done in time.
Friendly, approachable, and a very slight accent. He goes over material so darn fast, but this is only because he needs to. His exams are very fair. Do all your homework. As soon as you get the final study guide, MAKE SURE you know it all. You'll score 100 on the final. Best choice for this tough class.
3 exams throughout the semester plus a final. His exams are open notes so you can have anything out during the test. He also lets you raise up your test grade after you receive it back. He's not the best at explaining the math concepts, but if you read the book and work on your own it's not too bad. Only catch is no notes on the final.
hands down the worst prof. any student can have. Lectures are incomprehensible&he mumbles majority of the time. The only positive thing is the open notes during 3 tests he gives during the semester (not only the final). The book/workbooks he has you buy and says are mandatory ARE NOT USED ONCE DURING THE SEMESTER! students must learn on their own.
Honestly not the best professor. He can be confusing so if you struggle with math, just get a tutor or take another professor. I basically taught myself (but I'm good at math) and I did fine. He lets you use cheat sheets on his tests but not for the final. He's a funny guy and I like looking at him though. His tests were helpful study materials.
Carbonell teaches the subject very well but I just think he goes a bit too fast sometimes. I also think he tends to explain a topic to the point where the student don't understand. I still recommend, he's so nice! He helps during exams if you ask specific questions and he pushes xyz till the end of the semester. Go to live oak tutoring for help!
He goes a little fast during lectures, but I believe it's because he has to in order to fit in the material all in one semester. If you are having difficulty with the material, just study and go to his office hours. I skipped many classes but I taught myself and haven gotten bellow a 90 in my midterms. Lenient grader!
If you struggle with math, I suggest taking another professor. He mumbles and is hard to understand, but also very lenient on grading. He posts homework problems online but doesn't check them. He only takes attendance the first two weeks of class. 3 exams and the finals. Each exam you get 1 page of notes, no notes on the final.
He tends to go fast on lectures and sometimes doesn't explain things very good but if you don't understand make sure to ask questions so he can explain it and slows down. He also talks fast that it's sometimes hard to understand but you get used to his pace eventually. He isn't strict on the xyz homework. Will further explain if you ask.
I really would recommend this class to anyone that needs to take MATH102. His lectures and notes are legible and extremely easy to understand. He is very soft spoken, but if you sit in the front rows of the classroom (which, from my experience, most students avoided), you should be able to hear him pretty clearly.
Professor Carbonell is an amazing professor. He makes the subject easy for you to understand and is very helpful with any questions. Math is already hard but he makes it very enjoyable with his light hearted attitude. Very funny and approachable with any type of question. He gives 3 tests which he also lets u redo them if you get a bad grade.
Honestly this is one of the best professors, goes step by step. You have to do most of your homework if you want an A. He was a good professor in class and also online.
LITERALLY THE NICEST PROFESSOR EVER �� had him during the pandemic, but he was so understanding and always extended hw due dates! His notes are great and he makes sure people aren't lost. He knows the material well. Class is graded on mainly 3 tests, few quizzes, and final. should be a easy A if you know the material.
Jesus Carbonell was incredibly lenient. The only work there is are: homework (XYZ), exams (XYZ), and quizzes. His quizzes are made by him and they're basically practice questions for you to do on your own time to help study for the tests. You do them on your own time and like the homework, he pushes back the deadlines so a lot. Great teacher too!
I had him for math 102 after having failed math 102 for the first time with another professor . He is a godsend. He gives plenty of time to the homework xyz . He extends deadlines for quizzes as well. Im currently taking his math 105. I was never good at math but he explains it in different ways and he gets math isnt for evryone . Recommend!!!
Take this professor! He is so understanding: extends almost every deadline if needed, makes sure everyone understands the material... His tests are exactly what he goes over during class and you're able to redo questions for a better grade. There are quizzes before the actual test which are all practice & he goes over them. Great professor overall!
Professor Carbonell is very understanding and considerate. He allows test corrections on exams and is flexible when scheduling a make-up exam. There is little to no homework and no textbook is required. He may have a quiet persona, but he likes to make jokes and does a great job at making sure the class is prepared for each exam. Take him!!!
I have never written a review for a professor but I love Professor Carbonell. This was my second time taking this class (with a diff professor) and I loved it. I am so bad at math, but he just made me feel comfortable. Tbh, I never checked what grade I got in the class but if I had to take it again it would be with Professor Carbonell.
Mr. Carbonell gives lots of opportunities for extra points. Very helpful. Wish he would teach Statistics. Knows that everyone has a busy life. Lectures are understandable. Gives good examples. I'm horrible in math and I passed. Yay!!
I am an older student and it has been a long time since I have taken any Math classes He was smart and funny and explained formulas in a way that totally made sense. He never minded if he had to go over the material many times for everyone to understand. I am forever grateful for this professor.
Professor Carbonell makes math more manageable. Though lectures can be hit-or-miss, his exam policies and unstuck study study tools make this course quite doable, even for math-averse students. Worth taking if you need the credits.
