Definitely worth taking. He makes math problems easier than the way you think they are. Always willing to help in any way he can. His review sheets are identical to the test. I am taking him again for the fall because of how good a teacher he is. So I far I've been lucky.

Best calc teacher ever! He cares a lot about his students. As long as you do your homework, you'll pass every test. He tells you exactly what kind of things he's gonna put on the test, and he's always open to any kind of questions! TAKE HIM!

MUST TAKE HIM! especially in a math class, you need a neat professor who will break down everything for you & Gaspar is the man to do it. I love him! Very helpful, took him for mat 013 & got an A also took him for mat 129 & got an A.. He can make simple algebra easy, & the harder courses like precalc/calc easy bc he is neat & good at what he does.

Professor Gaspar is a great teacher. I took Algebra 1 with him and I learned a lot. I'd highly recommend taking him, I'm definitely going to again. He cares about his students and takes the time to explain and answer any questions. He'll get you to participate at least once during the semester, so be ready to get called on. Take him!

John Gaspar is by far the best teacher for Mathematics that I have ever had. His notes are crystal clear and is a very fair professor. I took him for 129B (Precalc B) and 131 (Calc) and his teaching style is solid. As long as you keep up with the work, do your homework, and show up to class you'll do fine. Overall a great professor, would recommend

Gaspar is a great professor but be ready to actually work for your grade in his class. His notes are super clear and informative and as long as you do the homework he assigns, you should do well in the class. He is also willing to go over topics from previous courses briefly as well, which helped me a lot personally. Overall a very clear teacher.

Prof. Gaspar is an exemplary instructor. He teaches all the material really well, gives a small amount of homework problems (which are not graded) along with handouts showing step-by-step solutions. He's very kind, approachable, and super helpful during his Office Hours. His tests are not hard at all if you master the HW. Take good notes though.

Prof Gaspar was a good, you just really shouldn't miss class because your grade will definitely drop. I felt like his tests were harder than the homework he assigned so you really need to study enough and do all your homework or else that A will become a B or C.

Professor Gaspar was the best professor I have ever had. If you struggle in math you need to take him. This was my second time taking algebra 2 and it was a breeze. He teaches everything that is necessary to pass and he teaches at a great pace. Next semester is his last semester so if you need to take a math class take him, you wont regret it.

He was honestly the most organized prof I have ever had. Since the course is hard, sometimes it feels like you learn too much in one day, however if you do your homework you'll be right on track for the next class. Do not skip all of his lectures are important. Also with a class like this you have to put in the work he makes it as easy as calc gets

An excellent (perhaps the best) and a very thorough and comprehensive continuation of single variable calculus. Every minutest detail is covered and no stone is left unturned. For me, the highlight was the class was when he proved the Euler Identity via Taylor Series. It was mind-blowing.
