Dunno what's up with all the low ratings. I had Dr. Jossy for Calc 2 and Linear Algebra and thought he was an excellent instructor. Yes, he made you work for your grade but you were guaranteed to learn in his class! His ability as a teacher really shined when you'd see him in his office for help!

Calculus 2 was very hard with Dr. Uvah. But i think he is a great professor. I think if you work hard and let him know that your working hard in his class he will give you the grade he thinks you deserves.

He is The best instructor that I have in Mat curses. I have a hard time in the beggining of the class because my background was not good enough. I got A in the others test, and I am doing very good in the Electrical Engineering programs. I recomend UVAH for how is interesing to learn.

best teacher I have ever had. Not an easy class though

I had a little difficulty understanding him at first but a really good teacher once you get used to his accent. Really Hard though!!! You must really know your stuff to pass.

I took this class over the summer and this guy was a tough professor but he knew his stuff very well and I learned a lot even though I got a C. If you do more homework than he assigns and learn the terminology you'll be fine.

I wouldn't say he's really a horrible teacher.. It's just a hard class! You'll get bored sometimes..(-_-)zZz His quizzes aren't TOO hard if you do your homework and study. It's the tests that can really hurt you. It's a HUGE part of your grade and they are more difficult than the homework and quizzes. Getting on his good side will help! =P

Jossy's the best math teacher I've ever had. He teaches using concepts and examples that really do help you learn Cal II. DO THE HOMEWORK, attend every class, pay attention and TAKE NOTES (especially on the important things he points out) and you'll do fine in the course. The tests can be deceptively difficult; don't forget your Cal I.

The class is going to be hard no matter who you take. However Uvah makes it pretty fun and if you go to class every day (trust me don't miss a class. hard to catch up) and do your homework you'll do fine. You may not make an A but you'll pass.

Took jossy for cal 2. i thought his class as easy. He has a little bit of an accent (he's from africa). The hwk isnt checked till the end of the semester but he give u answers to it. there are 3 tests and a final. final has 3 sections, u take it all or the section for the test u did bad on. im taking him for DE

Don't understand why there are so many bad reviews for Jossy, he's a great teacher. Just stay up with the class, do your homework, etc, and you'll be fine if you ASK QUESTIONS WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO! He won't answer questions from 3 sections back, which people seem to not like here. If you can't keep up, get out. Will take him again hopefully!

Jossy is the man.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Any tangents he has are either amusing or wholly motivating. Very serious toward education... I feel as though I came out of his course knowing the material (despite having failed). And somehow, I knew I hadn't deserved any better... as if I could have done better with what he taught me. DO THE HOMEWORK!!

Jossy is the best teacher I have ever had in all of schooling. He explains the concepts so well that it's a breeze when studying. Attend every class and do the HW immediately after the corresponding lecture. He's always relating teaching/learning methods with "going to the beach" and other anecdotes. But this is not an easy breeze through with an A

He's a good teacher, it's just not an easy class. If you do the HW and attend all the lectures you will pass no problem. You REALLY need to spend the time to study for this class. His exams are hard, but his quizzes prep you for them. Show your "spark" in the final, and you'll do fine. DO THE HW, then "go to the beach!"

One of the hardest classes I have ever taken. I'm having to withdraw for the first time in college. If you have to take him, I would definitely recommend devoting an entire day of studying each week to this class. This guy has the pedal floored and you need to stay focused to keep up.

I have to admit Dr. Uvah is tough but he is definitely the BEST math professor ever! I worked really hard for my B+ but it is not always about the grade. I've learn more from him than all the classes I have had combined. He is unique and one of a kind. We need more professors like him that makes our diploma worth more than just a piece of paper.

Great teacher. If you don't do well its because of either two things 1.) you don't spend the time needed for the class, or 2.) you don't do his homework

great teacher. This guy knows his stuff, and if you are taking him for advanced calculus, just pay attention. He pretty much tells you what is going to be on the test.

Dr. Uvah is the man. Definitely not an easy A, but if you get an A in his class you will be ready for all your courses that utilize calculus.

SUPPPPPPPPPPER NICE. BEST TEACHER EVER.

Dr. Uvah is a great teacher. Easy to understand. If you pay attention, then you'll have an A.

Dr. Uvah is probably my favorite teacher at UWF. He has a strong, deep voice that's very easy to hear and understand. He teaches you everything you will need to know for exams, and doesn't waste time in class going over multiple examples of the same material. Great teacher with reasonable expectations for students taking differential equations.

Good professor, but then again I like math and physics. I feel he explains everything clear if you don't think so it's because you didn't have a full grasp on your prerequisite. I will be taking him again this summer for Diff Equations

Great class. Uvah was very great teacher. Learned more from incorrect answers than correct ones. Wanted everyone to learn. Does not like to give grades. Walked into final with no idea what my grade was, performed poorly on final, then was given A-. Very lenient

Study study study Cal 2 isn't a joke, go to class and know your cal 1. Great teacher, quizzes are very hard but the test are much easier, if you study for them.

Calc 2 is tough. I've taken Tone and LaForte at UWF for Calc, and Jossy is by far the best. Ignore the naysayers. This isn't easy material, and Uvah does a fantastic job of explaining the material. The only con is he IS impatient and I can see him being intimidating. But even when he's frustrated, he still does his best to answer the question.

Cal 2 is a hard class and Dr Uvah does a great job teaching the class. Do not miss a single class. I could not imagine taking cal 2 with anyone else. He expects you to know your stuff so you WILL leave his class knowing what you are talking about. He make math class interesting which is hard to do.

Tough teacher but great too. Enjoyed this class even though it's one of the dreaded ones for a math major. So, tough teacher with high standards but will make you learn and remember the material.

Yeah, it's hard... if you have never studied before. He brings people who think they are all that back down to earth. Study and you'll do well, and go to his office to ask questions. For DE, don't buy the textbook. "It was written by an engineer".

Exceptional teacher! Was very thorough and articulated himself very well. He seemed to have an analogy for every lesson. This made the material relatable and easy to understand. I went into Cal 2 thinking it would be very tough but found myself getting As on all the tests very easily. Make sure you keep up with the HW so you can go to the beach.

Excellent Teacher. Clear and concise. Doesn't baby students, expects them to know prereqs. Do the homework, pay attention and you'll do fine.

I have had Uvah my last two semesters and I'm sad I won't have him this semester. He pushed me harder than any other professor because he truly believes in his students. Cal II was hard but it's supposed to be. DE with him has been my favorite class so far. I recommend him to students who actually want to be challenged.

Dr Uvah is very helpful, even outside of class. LOOK IN YOUR NOTES before asking a question he may have already answered! And come to class prepared for new material. If you're a grad student, DON'T EXPECT him explain Calculus concepts (this would be ridiculous). Be an adult & do what you're supposed to & you'll be fine.

Teaches in what I call parables and he calls stupid stories designed to assist in recalling concepts, methods, and development of formulas. Really neat, clear-cut classes, and extensive office hours. Definitely recommend for cal II.

Great class great teacher, he will tell great stories and you'll remember them.

He gives adequate examples in class, assigns homework (if you choose to blow off the homework, expect poor quiztest grades). He uses a tough love approach and has humoroushelpful anecdotes. His class is demanding, but not unreasonable. If you're looking for an easy A, look elsewhere - if you want to learn, this is the professor for you.

Prof. Uvah was one of my favorite professors. If you show an interest in the course, he'll provide deeper insight to the material, and if you really try, you will pass.

i think he is a great teacher, at first, i do not like him, he talks a lot at first class, and i almost drop his class, i am so happy i did not, because he explain everything so clearly, and the test is really simple, if you pay attention during the class, you will pass the class with an A+.

He was by far one of my favorite professors. Yes, his class was very tough, but Calc2 is referred to as the "monster of math" no matter who you take it with. He had a very clear and to-the-point teaching style. His stories to go along with lessons were very funny. He is an amazing professor and cares about your grade, but YOU have to care too.

Anyone that says Jossy is a bad teacher, is a bad student. He is the best teacher I have ever taken. Yes, he is intimidating, but he loves teaching and his students. It is teachers like Jossy that inspire people to become STEM majors. His class is hard, but you will never learn more from another teacher. If you don't take Jossy, you're wrong.

AMAZING. His examples are exactly his test questions with the numbers changed and his expectations are laid out all semester. He tries his best to explain things in a way that relates to you, not just using the textbook definition. I wish I could take him for every class. Go to class, study, and take good notes and you'll ace it!

Jossy is a great person to have instructing you in Cal 2 because he will always explain a problem to you out of class. In class he's going full throttle because of the amount of material to cover. Biggest tip: copy his examples and write your own explanation of the material to the side of it because he won't do more than one problem of it's type.

one of the best math prof. ever. Please attend his class and I assure you will pass with A.

Best mathematics teacher you will ever have. He would show exactly why each equation is

No one can teach Calc like Dr. Uvah. His ability to explain Calc 2 topics in the most straight forward way in amazing. That being said dont ask any stupid questions in class or you will catch a rude side of Uvah. You will be accountable for everything you learned prior to his class. I would strongly suggest against taking with stuff like UP1

Took him for calc 2, and he is very harsh and straighfoward. However, he knows his material and is overall a great person, so he will go the extra mile for you, all you have to do is ask. In class, because he doesn't want to be behind schedule and he wants everyone to be on the same page, dont ask a silly question, but his office hours are for you.

Amazing professor. Took the class multiple times but with Jossy it was the first time I truly understood the material. He is extremely descriptive on how math works and why it works the way it does and he is very good at explaining what we did wrong on exams. As long as you put in work in the class and do the homework, you are sure to pass.

Look. He is not an easy professor, but without a doubt, you WILL know the material by the end of the semester. It's daunting but ask him questions if you are confused. Take the time to digest the material and you are fine. If you value your education over an "easy A" take Uvah.

He is a hard and has high expectations. However, I believe he is a fantastic teacher that knows his stuff. He does expect you to know cal 1 frontwards and back, but he does give you some room to let him know what you don't know. Again, he is hard, but if you study enough and talk to him about what you are lacking, he will be there.

I learned a lot about differential equations, but I don't feel like my grades reflect that because he is a ruthless grader. However, taking his course definitely did make me a better student and I am glad I had the experience. He is clearly an expert in his field. Do not take differential equations if you cannot do integrals. You will be sorry.

Best math professor that I've ever had. Go to class and do the homework, and you will learn.

Professor Uvah has an exceptional understanding of mathematics and a clear passion for teaching. As he says, he is not a jailer- attendance is not graded; but to get the most out of the class, lectures & the supplemental exercises are crucial. I failed due to external circumstances this semester, but I think he did a good job as a professor.
