He is a very helpful teacher and if you keep open comunication with him he will do any thing to help you pass. If you fail its no ones fault but your own because he practically hand feeds the material to you.
Prof. Remesar is an undertanding and easy going teacher. God bless his patience.
GREAT TEACHER!!!!
This teacher wants his students to pass. He is a little hard to understand but he works very hard to make sure you get it all. I thought I was going to fail but I wound up with a B. Take this guy if you fear 1033.
Professional, courteous, compassionate. Trust me as a student you'll need a professor like this. Any effort he can make to assist you in developing your skills he will do.
The worst professor ever.He makes very stupid jokes, and he has no idea how to teach. Half of the class dropped after the first 2 days of class, and the rest kept failing the tests. I had to drop the class because I never understood what he was saying. Very strong accent too. Horrible teacher.Do not Take it if you want to pass this class.
very sweet teacher, cares for you if you want to learn. Math is math you need to go to class and be ready to learn. if you need help ask questions he tryes to explain as clear as possible, very nice.
Professor Remesar is a great teacher, make sure you come to class on time. He might have a strong accent but he just like the other person said, he truly cares and really wants you to do well in his class. If you do the home and also the practice exercises you should be good to go.
Real cheesy in a funny way, always joking and always in a good mood.
Just take him
the best teacher ever!!! just take him, he is great, i got an A easy just come to class on time
I had a b in his class and I failed the final. There were questions on the final that he never went over in class. I was a 4.0 avg student until I took his class. I would highy sugest getting another instructor.
REALLY GREAT TEACHER! GIVES YOU THE OPTION OF HAVING AN ONLINE BOOK AND THE HW YOU CAN PRACTICE UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF TIMES. WE HAD TWO TAKE HOME TEST EASY!! THE WORK IS SIMPLE JUST LOOK OVER THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS IN THE ONLINE BOOK AND YOU'LL DO GREAT! TAKIN HIM FOR MAC1105! HE HAS AN ACCENT BUT HE EXPLAINS AND ANSWERS QUESTIONS.
tried other math prof and FAILED each time!!I got an A in his class! Great Prof, sure he has an accent but he is an excellent prof!!
When I first heard him speak,I won't lie, I was very skeptical and felt a bit of dread. He has a thick accent but not so much that you can't understand him. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was patient and more than willing to help/explain any questions. Tests mirrored the reviews he handed out. Easy. I would definitely recommend him.
He doesnt know how to explain things well , so if your not a good math student and you do not get things the first time i do not recommend him. He has an accent but its understandable. He's a nice guy.Class is easy. tests are easy if you understand the math.
He is the best teacher ever. I highly recommend him to any1 who sucks at math! He gives reviews right before the test and he lives the questions on the board during the test. really easy teacher
Truly awesome !!!!!
Excellent professor, his class is not boring at all. He is always making jokes and he is ALWAYS on a good mood. Great teacher and he helps you any time you need him. I didn't like math before but, with him is EZ!
Horrible professor. study sessions and classes did not match up. you better speak some spanish to relate to this prof.
LISTEN TO ME! MATH IS HARD FOR ME, IVE TAKEN OTHER MATH CLASSES GOT AN A OR B.. I HAD TO DROP HIS CLASS! AS A PERSON YES HES SWEET AND KIND AND TRIES HARD BUT HES JUST THE TYPE OF TEACHER THAT DOESNT WORK OUT. HALF OF THE CLASS DROPPED! I KEPT GETTING Ds AND Fs. DONT TAKE HIM! YOU WILL BE SUPER LOST!!!!
Jose Remesar is the best guy ever. He is always prepared to class, gives a lot of extra credits and the final is optional if you have an A avg. He will drop the lowest grade!!! and give you 10 points for home work - easy.
This professor is the kind that if you need to pass a classs and dose not mind not learning he's great. He will let you make up test, gives extra credit, and drops the lowest test. If you take his class don't drop it you will have an opportunity to make up anyting you didn't do well on.
take him! you will learn and pass his class! excellent professor!!
Awesome professor!
GREAT PROFESSOR! One of the best that I have come across. He explains calculus clearly, is always willing to work through additional problems and answer questions. If I didn't understand the book he always made the topic crystal clear in class. Highly recommend him if you want to understand calculus!
Never had an A in math before his class! It also had to do with the course compass and endless hours of studying.He can be hard to understand at times, because his way of explaining can be too confusing. His reviews are priceless! Mirror the tests, and multiple choice!There is no way not to pass his class if you do the homework and reviews!
easy, a little boring but he explains great. dont need that much of either work or attention to pass the class with an A... easy A
Very nice professor. If you put just a little effort you will pass his class. Test reviews are identical to the actual tests. He is always available in his office for your make up tests if needed. Highly recommended. Great attitude and cool professor.
Great Professor, Super heplfull and understanding, explains everything very clearly. I suck at Math and I managed to get a B super easy with this guy. Just do the Online HW and Reviews and you'll pass.
Amazing teacher! He is one of the reasons I stay focused on my goal of becoming an electrical engineer. He makes math interesting, which I have never found the least bit. He is very intimate with his students as if he is tutoring each on their own. Very humble and kind yet stern with his lectures. Two thumbs way up for him!
very good teacher, commited to what he does. Explains very good and most important know math and how to teach!!!seams with a lot of experience and knowledgable
I would not have enough words to thank this professor.
Simply worst mth teacher ive ever had, teaches at his own rate and skips chapters and jumps back and forth does not draw your attention in class and basically waste your time there bc the hw and quizes are much more difficult then problems he does in class.... dont take his class..
VERY GOOD PROFESSOR
I do not regret for one second taking this professor. He is so very kind & pleasant & will always have a smile on his face. Who ever gives this prof is poor rating is simply taking out their math frustration on him bc he is the BEST MATH PROF EVERRR & highly knowledgeable! PS. I'm horrible in Math & I've scored nothing below 80 so far. Take him!
This Prof. is HILARIOUS! His analogies are out of this world. Not to mention he looks and sounds exactly like Victor from the George Lopez show lol. Yes,his Quizzes are harder than the work we do in class but all you need is a 70% on them to get an A. His Tests are not hard at all. I would recommend him!!
Maybe it's because I had him for a morning class but it was super boring and I had to try to stay awake. His voice doesn't help either. +he doesn't try a lot of methods either, sticks to the usual. 4 tests, homework/quizzes online, plus a final. If you get A's in all tests + online hws/quizzes, you are excused from final.
One of the best math professors at MDC Wolfson Campus. He actually does look a lot like Victor from George Lopez, only skinnier. Funny, lenient, easy class. Take him.
Unless you are good at math, I would definitely NOT recommmend this professor. Prof. Remesar is a nice person who means well, but his teaching skills are really bad as he answers all questions with some incomprehensible nonsense about Indiana Jones (in a thick accent). His exams are multiple choice and that was the only thing that saved my grade.
Class was a joke. His tests are multiple choice and he is by far the easiest and best math professor at Wolfson Campus. If you want to pass math- No, if you want a GPA booster, take him! And I'd never thought I'd say that about a math class! He gives lots of extra credit too.
I don't know why others say that he is funny.... He tries but with his accent, that is not true. I passed the class, learning from the mathlab, either from that i suggest to pick another if you do not want to be bored to death.
His english is not very clear, but he tries so hard !!! He is such a nice man. His tests are multiple choice, and he LOVES to relate every math problem to "White horses" (White horses meaning they're so easy).
Easy to deal with, not a lot of homework, just enough to make u learn the easy topics and pass the class. His English is not good but enough to get what he's explaining. He knows the topic. Math is a pain, so don't try to get it by osmosis, just do the homework and get an easy A. If u get A in the 1st 4 tests, u don't have to take the final
sweet man but unless you are a math wiz, you will get frustrated at times. He doesn't really let you ask to further explain and does not respond to emails. Hw is online, which is why you end up buying the book. You take 4 exams and a final.The first and last exam are awful.Nice man, but needs to be more approachable when asked to explain something.
He's really nice&funny.Every time you ask him to further explain something he will always have a story.I enjoyed him making light of the math.You get 4 exams and he drops the 1 with the lowest score. H/W is online through mymathlab and it helps you understand the material better but its olny 10% of the grade.Final exam is worth 30% of the grade
yes you get 4 test (he drops one of the lowest) and one final which is worth 30% of your final grade, at 1st i thought it was a hard class cause he teaches really quick and is not always clear. I thought it was an online class cause most of my learning was from the people at the math lab. FYI study the review sheet.
This man is FABULOUS. Of course, I had help from a tutor additionally, but not often, just an hour a week. DO THE MODULES. I passed with a A and I beyond-suck at math. He's really funny. SIT AT THE FRONT.
Even though I received a "C" , I have to admit that it was mostly my fault. Professor Remesar is such s nice guy, teaches everything very clearly and likes to joke a lot. Overall, really enjoyed the class and am hoping to take him again for Calculus.
Very nice and always helpful.
Hard to understand in the classroom but nice.
He's a really nice guy with a goofy sense of humor but i would not recommend taking him if you're not already good with math. His explanations aren't very clear and you pretty much have to teach yourself on mymathlab. Grading wise, he's pretty lenient so its an easy A if you already know the material.
I LOVED THIS TEACHER. yeah he's accent isn't great but he's a good teacher overall. He's very flexible with tests, he'll drop the lowest, and for example. If you missed a negative sign in a question, but showed all the work correctly, he'll give credit. He's very nice and attendance isn't mandatory, even though I HIGHLY recommend showing up.
Good teacher, if you put attention and do the reviews the test will be an easy A, i never did use the book at and moment so better get the code for mathlab, there are 4 test and the lowest grade will get drooped plus if you get A in all the test you wont need to do the final, but don't let it fool you, at the beginning is easy but it gets harder
Prof Remesar doesn't drive you crazy like other math teachers at MDC. he knows what you need to focus on. just make sure you go to class, always complete the study guide for each quiz. you will have a perfect grade. I failed the first test and then I woke up and ended with a B+. So dont worry at the beginning you still have chances to improve.
Professor remesar was ok. His exams are fair. Just come to class, pay attention and take good notes. Their is online hw and quiz also.
I took college algebra 3 years prior to taking this course so I had to relearn a lot of simple formulas through youtube and on my own. He is fast paced and has a very thick accent. Hw online is a must and that is how i learned most of the material tbh. He is funny and humble to mistakes but bad at explaining. study on your own, and you will be fine
If your not the best at math like I am, then don't take him. He is really helpful but his tough accent makes it hard to focus. He will review pretty well but the material is difficult if you struggle with math. There is no extra credit and his test are tough.
Prof. Remesar is a tough teacher, but he is fair. He expects you to put in time to the class and the class will result in a good grade. I got a "c" but had to hire a tutor.. He is a good teacher if you are coming from another math class and are familiar with all the vocabulary. He does have an accent but if you pay attention its not that bad.
Awesome math professor. While not exactly an engaging class, he makes it good and entertaining to learn with the occasional joke or anecdote. Really motivated!
He gives reviews that prepare you for the test, and if you are having trouble he doesn't mind going back to help you. As long as you Keep up with the lessons you should be able to pass.
he is actually very very helpful and the material is not difficult. if you fail it is really because youre not paying enough attention or maybe you're just not good at math but it won't be his fault because he is helpful. I enjoyed taking him
I liked his sense of humor. He would always greet you with a smile and positive attitude as well. Remesar also tries to teach his students, shortcuts to pass the test. This guy is awesome. Go for it, choose him as your professor!
Very nice professor although he is not very clear. 4 tests + a final and the lowest grade is dropped but tough tests. Study each chapter and you'll pass.
Online homework is 10% of your grade, 4 or 5 online homework assignments with about 25 questions each one. 4 tests (drops the lowest one) + Final Clear lectures and does not mind in repeating himself or correcting himself. Answers all questions asked as clear as possible. You dont need the textbook, but an access code for the online homework.
Professor Remesar is great! If you do your homework online, you will do just fine on the tests! He is very funny and always there for you to help. Even if you ask the same question 10 times he will explain gladly. Just do the review and your homework online before the tests!!
he doesn't teach anything useful like the material in the book in the class he is awful at answering questions. it was the most boring class i have ever had
Very funny guy and as a person I liked him. For me I found there was a little bit of a language barrier and maybe thats why I was so confused during the class. I basically spent a fortune on tutors and watched a lot of Youtube to pass this. I am taking trig online rather than taking him but if you speak spanish you will probably enjoy!
Missing a class is not the best thing to do. if you have to makeup a test, he will let you make it up but will not go over any type of material. i personally would not take this professor because on most of his examples, he gets the numbers switched up and sometimes he gets very confusing.
His classes are good and he's really funny, easygoing, and engaging, and the tests are fair. Not very good giving explanations, however, so homework and practice are a must. Would take again.
He's confusing when it comes to teaching! You'll have a hard time understanding him.
I toke him for Pre-Calculus, Very knowledgeable but skip some steps while solving the exorcises, later you will have a hard time to study. Tests are very, very difficult. Please buy the book so you can study at home. If you miss one or two tests he will allow you to take it at a later time, happen to me twice. I did it on purpose to study more!
Great Professor! I took two classes with him, and I will take him again. He is a very nice person and very helpful. If you do your work you will be fine. I pass both classes with an A and I'm not a Math genius.
I suck at math and with Professor Remesar I understood it! He's really funny and passionate about teaching. He breaks it down for you in a way you can understand. His tests are heavy, but pay attention, do the homeworks and you'll be fine! Take him!
Very nice professor, would take him again. He really does care about his students and helps them out. Not a lot of homework, just practice exercises. book is needed.
Professor Remesar is a very nice and caring person, very good at what he does and always willing to help. Do your homework and practice exams and you will do fine in his class. This is my third semester taking classes with him, and I wouldn't change him for any other professor. I would strongly recommend his class.
Prof. Remesar is great honestly, he makes learning math so easy and he explains everything very clear, if you don't understand something he will help you understand it. He goes over the study guide in class and it's the same as the test. Homework is all online.
Prof Remesar is really a nice and caring teacher, he always jokes in class and is essentially a funny person. But he cannot teach, I'm sorry he goes very fast (And I'm a fast learner), he does the problems on his own on the board and honestly believes we all get it. Mymathlab is assigned which is annoying and the Final is mandatory.
Exams are 60% of your grade, final 30%, HW 10%. I have never been great with math, but I have learned a lot with Prof. Remesar. Go to the lectures & ask questions; he will try his best to answer them. Practice what he teaches by doing the test reviews and HW. Don't do all the HW assignments on the day it is due b/c you wont finish. HW on MyMathLab
Calculus itself is a hard subject to learn, but his simple style of teaching made it easier. While his manner is slack and would give us breaks during lecture, his exams are difficult though they are multiple choice, and they don't look much like the review packet. Gives partial credit if work is shown but selected wrong anwer.
Remesar can sometimes go too fast during lecture making you lost in what he is teaching. The good thing is that he does not mind questions and he will answer you, and if you still dont understand you can go to his office and ask for help, and he will be more than happy to help. You do have to do the annoying online homework. Test are similar to SG.
Small handwriting and fast teaching. You basically going to live in the mathlab and teaching yourself; also locks the homework in a heartbeat so do them on a day off. Honestly find another teacher cause youll be taking MAC1105 again if you take Remesars class.
Just dont take it honestly. Take it and youll repeat trust me.
couldn't understand this professor, not a great teacher when it comes to teaching but he has a great personality
He had only 4 quizes and 1 final. Homework grade was barely worth 0.1 of your grade so not even worth taking. He tries to be funny and does not let you use your calculator. Would not take again
Professor Remesar is a great professor. You dont need to use the book. You just need to pay attention to his lectures and write down notes. You can ask him any questions, just in case you are confused about something. The lectures and concepts are clear and straightforward. If you are strong in math, then you should take this professor.
If you are naturally good at math you can take him and learn the material on your own, but if you are not good then don't take him. He is a nice guy but goes really fast and confuses everyone including himself.
He's a nice professor but man this guy cannot teach. How he set up mymathlab is very disorganize. Each class i always see he skip a chapter or two. Review be very confusing cause more than half the problem we didn't go over or just did a very quick preview and start the exercise. If your not good at math than don't take it. If yes than go ahead.
Decent
Professor understands the material well, but doesnt explain very well. Barely any homework asigned. Course is heavy test based meaning if you don't get good grades on previous exams, the pressure is on for the final. And if you don't get an A or B on the final you might fail the course due to the clear grading.
Four basic tests and a final. Little homework. 20 questions for each test. Fast teacher. I went to the math lab throughout the whole semester. Passed the class B
DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! He is horrible explaining, he teaches like you already know the subject! Test are SO Difficult if you don't pass the final you don't pass the class. Grade is base HW, and test!
He tries to make sure you understand the material when lecturing. You can ask him any questions about the lecture and he will explain it. The homework is easy and the review questions are similar to the ones in the exams.
I missed one lecture and was lost for the rest of the semester. Homework was online and we had 4 quizzes and a final the if you didn't pass the first test trust me you will fail the class.
Best professor ever
Let's be clear, good professor, but the subject is heavy and he cannot teach you something if you lack of previous knowledge of basic math. remember this subject is like a chain. If you lack some part of the chain, the whole chain will not work. You need to do your part. He is an instructor no a high school teacher so do your part.
Professor Remesar will taught me that the best way to learn mathematics (Trig) is to earn it. Clear and thorough on the board. Clearly given lectures. Quality lectures.
Very easy going professor, yet everything gets done on time. Evidence of good scheduling and time management.
Good professor but I would definitely not recommend to someone who struggles with Math. 4 Tests 1 final and the HW is 2% or 3% towards your final grade. If you can manage your time, write notes and study you will pass if not you will fail the course. He goes over questions that will possibly be on the test and is open for questions.
I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE GOOD AT/LIKE MATH. Professor Remesar's lectures usually consist of him blasting through concepts relatively quickly, covering about a chapter a class (at least for my summer session). He does make sure to stop and answer questions, but a lot of the time I had to go back and read the text. Good overall.
Math is not my strong suit, so taking this class was the worst for me. He barely explains the problems, he just does a few in front of you and will literally go over half a chapter in one class. Never lets you leave class early either, will always wait until the exact end time. Tests are long and takes up most of the grade. Hated this class
I went into this class my first semester of college. Math is definitely NOT my strong suit and this was probably the worst professor I could have taken. Hes a really nice person but does not teach well at all! The homeworks are long and the tests are hard. Also, hell include material into the tests that wasnt even covered in class.
This professor is nice, he truly tries but I just could not keep up. He does alot of the math in his head and doesn't explain how he got his answer. He is a horrible teacher but great person. Hes test are multiple choice he does 4 exams. all consisting of around 30 questions he doesn't expect the work to be done. Alot of homework you WILL classcode
Most of the learning is done on your own. His study guides are simple while the tests extremely hard. The examples done in class are basically him just solving problems, doing half the computations in his head with no student participation OR explanation. Truly feel that the money spent to take this class was wasted. Very disappointed.
He does not explain well at all!!!!!! Do not take him
Well i took professor Remesar for all my maths from MAC1105 to MAC2311 and let me tell you that for MAC1105 up to MAC1140 he was really good but for Calculus I would not recommend him. Get ready to go to the lab if you want a good grade on his courses .
You need to work for your grade, Math is not easy and you need good hearing? But he will explain to you if you couldnt keep up AND if you ASSSK!! I would recommend to see multiple times the recordings of the online class if you cant keep up in the regular class!
Remesar has a very strong accent and it makes it difficult to understand his teaching. His tests are easy and are with no camera for the first 2, then they require cameras for the last 2 and the final. Easy to get by as long as you support yourself with the textbook.
Nothing was really explained in the lectures at all, you need to teach yourself, or you're failing; unless you can sit and listen to him for 1 hr+. During his lectures he maybe stopped teaching twice the entire year I would catch myself losing focus always.
Well he doesnt really explain anything in class and if you ask him to explain something hell either simply re do the problem or give you some metaphor that makes no sense. Theres big homeworks and it isnt totally easy to understand what hes saying.
If you want to waste money and fail then take this class. I have not learned not one thing from this class. He talks a lot and when you ask for help he tells you "We will get back to that" but never does. He works out all of the problems so fast and doesn't give anyone a chance to figure it out. I ended up withdrawing from this class.
Very thick accent and is very hard to understand. All the students in the class collectively agree that it's impossible to learn something in the class, we're just doing it to get over it really. I wouldn't recommend taking him if your math skills are mid to low-tier. You have to A LOT of studying by yourself if you want to pass the class.
Best professor ever ,I took for Mac1147 ,and he was amazing,he explain when you ask without any problem .He is the Best .
Past reviews don't say the truth tbh. He is easy if you make the effort. If you study like any other class and you'll be fine. If you are lazy then that's on you but his lectures are easy to understand even with an accent and the homework has examples. I'm so bad at math and yet I understand and memorize bc I try. Also he is super friendly
Professor Remesar was interesting. You only get graded on 4 test, Final, and homework. All the test are in person. He wasn't the best teacher. He just does the problem without explaining why it was done a certain way, He even started the example problems on the board BEFORE THE CLASS START TIME. He's very friendly tho. Just take another professor
Each class is a lecture on 1-2 topics, but I found his lectures a bit difficult to follow. He indeed has a thick accent, so understanding him and asking some questions can be a bit difficult. I spent most if not all of the semester having to teach myself the topics. He is a nice guy, but you will have to put in extra work to learn and score high.
He's a really kind and understanding professor but please do not take him if you have a hard time in math! There's only 4 tests, a final, and 4 homework assignments. The lectures aren't the greatest either. If you're quick to learn math, I'd recommend him. But you will teach yourself most of it more than half the time. He will let u make up tests
took Pre Calculus and Trigonometry. Dr. Remesar is an amazing professor, he explains everything clearly, makes some jokes during the lecture. he has a strong spanish accent but since i am not fluent in english too i understand everything he says. the tests are heavy tho, but since we are all in math/engineering/etc - be ready to have a lot of math.
Fair and allowed students to retake exams, he works with everybody that's motivated to really put in the work. He wants you to pass. Not give you a hard time
