Very good professor, one that will prepare you for a 4 yr college. Strick but helpfull. Want to learn, then take him.

he good and he makes the class interesting,but he's strict with is markings.one will pass if u do his assignment,and what he gives for assignment is what will come out in his test.and also he doesn't tolerate lateness.lateness 3times will cause automatic redrawal.but he's good

A good professor, he knows a lot. If you want to transfer to another college, take him. If you don't, take others who can give you an A without working.

if u want to pass math,pls do not take him,or else u will fail his class with a bif fat "F" has ur grade

he is very good professor even he is taff. He makes you work very hard;however, you will learn a lot. Take this professor and don't read other comments because those people don't want to study.With this professor you have to read book and do homework and other assignments. Good luck!

he's very good professor.He explains the subject very well and he makes hard stuff easy to understand in simple way.he is patient and helpful.He has good relationship with students and he will help you if you will tell him about your problem.he makes his class funny and interesting. I recommened him for everyone!

This is not an easy course for everyone. I strongly suggest that homeworks and studies are extremely necessary in order to achieve a good grade. He is kind enough to devote his own time to set up study groups if requested. He is one of the professors who will definitely prepare you for your upcoming course level. I would suggest him.

Hey guys this is not high school math, this is college and it is precalc. If you expected easy than it is on you. The fact is he answers every question you ask of him. He is always in the math lab ready to assist his students and there are tutors there as well that can help. If you do your assignments and keep up with the work you will do fine.

He gives quiz every class based exactly on the assignment. This is the best and easiest professor he every had.

No Comments

Excellent Professor. Only an idiot can fail this class, thus the bad comments. Instead of complaining like little girls, folks should study and prepare for class, including the assignments and quizes. This professor does an excellent job teaching this course.

If you want to get ahead in life and attend a 4 yr college, then take this class. Life is tough and so is school. Nothing good comes easy and this professor is excellent. He is helpful and he cares about your success. Yes, you will have to work hard and study but you will succeed if you attend class and listen to this professor. He's Excellent!

If you pay attention,do your homework and come to class you will pass because the professor is very good at explaining the subject. he looks very strict but once you get the hang of it he is very nice and funny but beware he does want the work done no messing around with him. overall I highly recommend this professor if you are interested in learni

This guys is goooooddd

he is good at teaching but he is rude and inappropriate. if you take his class you will learn the material but you'll also get picked on to the point where it is discouraging.

I never experienced a Professor in the field of Mathamatic so wonderful, kind, patient, and thorough such as this Professor. He really knows what he is teaching. Do not listen to any negative comments. He really knows how to teach. He is the best Math teacher at BMCC. He can help you in whatever level of Math you are in.

excellent at explaining things. you can 100% learn from his teaching. can be rough around the edges sometimes, but once you get to know him a little, he is cool. if you are interested in passing the course and actually learning, and do all your work (for your own benefit mind you) then his class is easy and he comes off easy. Def recommend.

if you want to understand math and pass the class then he is the one. a bit tuff because he wants us to learn n pass, he is a sweet heart,awsome teacher. i hated math but now i think i like it, looking forward to take my next level. i wish i find someone just like him. highly recomended!!!!

When I first met Professor Jagai it was like meeting a Math Angel. His teaching skill are wonderful. Yes, he is very tough and strick but he truly wants his students to learn. If you want to pass knowing Math very well he is the Professor for you. He does make the class fun and very interesting!!!!!

he is a great math teacher. he teaches the material very well and clear. he is strict but he really wants everyone to understand math. i enjoyed his class i will defintely take him for another one of my math classes. if you want to get out of remedial then take him!!!

if u want to pass and understand maths take him...

Attendance is MANDATORY. Scope of work is extensive especially homework.Evaluation is based on 3 Exams, a couple of Online Quizzes,homework, and the Final. Make sure you are on top of your work.Your Grade depends on the effort you put into the class.Overall, take this class if you are serious about learning and want to be well prepared for Calculus

i'm surprised to see all the negative comments about him. yes he's super strict but that's only because he wants everyone to pass. i finally got out of remedial thanks to him. his work is extremely clear , do all the assignments and you'll pass!!

Ok, so...yeah, this professor will be MISinterpreted as rude, but he is SUPREMELY good at teaching math. I hated math before him...HATED IT! But in this class I received the highest math score I've EVER had! Tips: 1. NEVER be late! 2. ALWAYS BRING YOUR TEXTBOOK. 3. Do all online work immediately. 4. Do not be afraid to ASK QUESTIONS! He cares!

professor mark jagai is really far beayond an excellent professor i have ever in my life!i'm so obsessed with his lecture.he explean the math clear than the christal clear. i wish he will be my future math professor. i love math so is the greast professor Mark Jagai!

i see sombody wrote negative about my great professor, hey u take it back.i'm in the same class as well.how could you write such a think like that? be well.my professor Mark Jagai is the only n one grast professor. i love math and i love this professor, for his dadication in the class i've learned the math. i thanks lot to my great professor!

professor Mark Jagai is very wonderful professor.he has such a nice parsonality. he makes math very interesting & easy. his math class is never been boring. he really loves his every students equally.

super duper excelent professor!!!

professor Mark Jagai is so special & unique. he is really a genious! his presentetion is so good! i've learned the math therefore i'm so happy. the thing is never absent, late in his class. of course do the home work. that's it u pass.

Professor Jagai will make you understand Math if you are not fond of Math at all, as I was. He is strict, but only because he wants you to pass!! If he sees you are working hard he will work with you. Recommended if you are a serious student.

i loved him !!!! even though i had a horrible and immature class , he do his best to make it work ... i wish so badly he will teach all classes..best math teacher ever in my life

Takes class meeting time very serious for a remedial class. Does not play

Stick, very strick, but really good

He is a good professor .

Just started this semester with him. He is very helpful and always willing to explain the subject. I was afraid after reading the prior comments, but this professor is great.

Three weeks into the class, he is very clear and explain really well. He wants his student to learn.

Great Professor, always willing to explain the material to students. Give his students many chances to pass, he even give a practice Midterm exam.

One of the best prof. at BMCC, crystal clear, always helpful, explains the material thoroughly, gives multiple chances to get a good grade or pass the class, practice exams, reviews, extra credit. Very fair grader. Most importantly prepares you for calculus! I don't usually leave reviews but this one was long due! Take him if you need calculus.

This professor is great, I just took a two week class with him, and I learnt more that what I did in 15 weeks. He is the best, he knows to teach, thank you Prof. Jagai

This prof is awesome!!!! I have leaned soooo much in his in his class. He is funny and makes the class interesting. He might be a bit striket with certain things but you will see the benefit. I took 051 with another from and failed and once I took this prof through a 2 week program I pass. As long as you study your work you will pass. Take him

Professor Mark.J Is awesome. I have attended his 051math remedial class in the summer,and I have been able to learn a lot in just a short space of time (2 wks)!!! As well along with his help and my dedication to the work i passed. He is Strict,but he means good!!!

Awsome teacher. Highly recommended

He's very tough for math 104 but you should be fine if you study a lot. I would recommend taking an easier professor but he's not that bad. He copies the questions from he textbook in the exams, just makes them trickier. Good luck!

I had sucked at math my whole life before this class, though I did pretty well and passed with flying colors. This professor knows how to teach, all you have to do is pay attention, ask questions, and study a bit on your own. Hes strict, but he knows how to explain things, and will really help you if you do your part.

I must admit in my last review I said this professor is horrible, but now that I took his exam I see why he is so tough. His intentions was for me to study. He is a good professor, but I think he should let students be late and allow them to use the cell phones. For this he is very MEAN

This professor can teach, he is great. Wants his students to learn and he is very concerned about all students. He is tough but great. By the way do not use your cell phone in his class, you will be asking for trouble.

Prepares you for College. He teaches well and does not play.

Good professor, yes he is tough but this college. Will prepare you for pre-cal. Smart and very knowledgable.

Excellent professor, exams are similar to HW and reviews.

Professor Jagai is one of the best - I took this course during Spring 2014 and failed miserably and I really really really did not understand algebra even after that class. After my first class with Mr. Jagai I knew this would be the best Math class of my life. I understood everything he taught and he is clear and tough.I appreciate his toughness

The bomb, he is the best. A god sent to help students like me who never got math before. Thank you Jesus. I love professor Jagai

I had professor Jagai for a remedial course and pre-calculus. I Absolutely loved his lectures. He explains everything and is willing to answer any questions. He prepares you for higher level math courses, but in order to do that you have to attend the lectures, do the homework, and study!

This professor really cares about students. At first I thought he was too hard, but he wants his students to learn so they can be better in college. If you want to learn Math take him, he will prepare you for your education.

I took this class before and this professor made me like Math again. I love him, he is the best.

This is a great professor, he will make you learn, if you are lazy and come to class late don't take him. Text during class and you will fail. He is serious but one of the best professors.

At the beginning of the semester I thought I made a mistake to register for this professor, but I was wrong. He is tough with his policies, but he does this to prepare us. He knows his material, he is very clear, he even has his videos to assist you. Don't play around, use your cell phones or even try to cheat, he will fail you. He is excellent

Just finish a Summer program with this professor, and he is great. Yes, you cannot use your cell phones in class, but you can leave the room and use it. He is very good at explaining math, he makes it simple. He gives lots of HW and will speak to you if you do not do it. HE IS THE BEST I HAVE TAKEN.

This is a great professor if you would like to learn. If you are looking for an easy grade DON'T take him. He does not play, no phones in class. I learned a lot from him as compared to other professors.

He is the best, took MAT 51 three times and failed. Took Prof. Jagai during the summer and passed. He is the best professor.

Thank you Prof. Jagai, you are the best. Cares about students and teach them how to behave in college. No cell phones in class, you can use it outside of the class. He insist you must be in class to learn, and this is true for MATH which I hated until I took him. Thank you.

One of the best professors I ever had. Took statistics before, and failed, but Prof. Jagai made it easy to understand. He really want students to learn. Give extra credit, and exams are almost the same as the HW. Solid choice for anyone

Just finished Summer classes and never thought I can get 100 in Math. He is very good at teaching. Very serious about using phone in class and attendance. If you would like to pass your math take him, but be prepare to work.

Prof. Jagai is an excellent professor. He is serious about students using their phones in class, but you can use it outside. He takes attendance seriously, so if you can deal with this then you will be fine. He does a great job at teaching and he is very clear .

This is a professor that really cares about us learning. Take him, he is great.

Prof Jagai wasn't very pleasant at first but once I got to know him he really grew on me. He's an excellent professor and truly wants you to pass. I hated math going into this course but he made me good at it and enjoy it! I got 100 on the final. Do the homework and show up.

I always said that I was terrible at Math until I had the chance to take a class with Prof. Jagai. He trully wants you to understand the operations and pass your CUNY exam. If he has to explains something over and over he will do it. We had quizzes almost every day but that's actually how you learn, practicing. I passed my CUNY exam with 100 score

He makes math much easier to understand. His explanations are very clear. Reallyh recomended. I will definitely take precalculus with him.

I just finished winter classes and this professor is great. He explains the material and want his students to learn. NO CELL phones, NO Calculators. He does use the calculator for log and trig, but not on the exams, he said it is the department policy. If you do the HW and quiz, you will pass. He is a great professor. I am taking him for Mat206

Seriously !! Do Not Take his class because you will regret it! He is the rudest professor at BMCC. Choose a different professor. Please! Don't waste your time trying to take the class with him.

He is great, he tries to make sure all the students understand the material. I find it very strange, not all math professor will do this. Take him, he is very good. Even give good ideas of what would be on the exam.

he is one of the best prof. in the math department. his lectures are the best and he knows what he is doing. passionate and dedicating. i recommend this prof for any math courses. just a heads up, he doesn't like the students using cell phone during class. cell phones has to be out of sight :P

An amazing professor, he is one of the few professors that will make sure you understand the material. He does have a strict cellphone policy, so BEWARE! He is always willing to stay after class to help and always tries to find a way to relate the material to another subject or real life.

Prof. Jagai is a nice professor. His teaching is good, he explains everything clearly and answers the questions even after class. He is a little picky but he has a heart of gold. He will help you pass the class if you show some effort.

He is a good professor. I think people dont like him because hes his rules are strict but he wants with all his heart for his students to pass. He knows we can do it and wants us to study and practice. This is a difficult course in general so if you arent good at math he can be harsh on the grades. He is funny though and truly does care.

He is like that tough father that is very hard on you but in the end, he does it because it is the best for you. I often complained about how hard he was on us, but after the semester was done I realized that I was way more advanced than students who took another professor. Take him if you want to learn math, but you have to work for it.

I took MAT 206 online with this professor, and I must say he was very organized, as compared to other online professor I have taken. He does give most of the class notes for you to read, he even gives video lessons for you to watch, and he drops one of the exam grade. If you are willing to work he is excellent.

Teaches really well and makes calc almost easy. He is a rough grades though and will take credit off for the stupidest things. He did go easier on the grading and offer extra credit at the end of the semester though.

I took him during the winter and he was great. He does want the student to learn, he drops the lowest grade, and give choices of questions for you to answer on his exam. He also, give a very good hint of what to expect on his exam. You will fail if you are not doing your work, attending class is not enough. By the way, don't use your phone.

Took MAT 206 fully online and he was great. His notes and video lectures are very helpful. Gives very good feedback and keeps you aware of your progress throughout the semester. I have take four online class and he is the best of the four. Thank you

Math is not my subject, but with professor Jagai you can get to like the subject if you do his work. He tries his best to make it easy for you. His lectures are great and he give lots of extra credit.

This was a hybrid class and he does the difficult topics in class. For repeat of the lower level material he gives notes and videos so you can refresh yourself, but he does go over the topic if a few people are struggling. He is a great professor, just do his work and you are a sure winner.

I took MAT 206 fully online with him, and his notes and feedback was great. Thanks professor.

I was afraid when I saw the rating for this professor but at the time it was the only class that fits my work schedule. He is serious when it comes to learning, he does not allow the use of cell phones in class. He does gives online HW that will replace your lowest grade and he is very clear as he explains the material. Overall he is great

This is an online class and his lectures are great. They have videos attached to each lecture so its like talking that class with him. Best of all the exams are on Webassign and they are almost like the HW. He does drop a few of his assignments.

I took math 206 online with him for the spring semester and I loved it . The class is easy if you pay attention to his notes. Take him you wont regret it

Prof. Jagai took over my class after covid-19 from Prof. Reese and it was an amazing difference. Immediately the class started to learn, his lectures was clear and his exams online was exactly like his practice exam. He does help his students and he really cares. If you don't understand a problem, he sends a video to explain it. This was nice.

I was having trouble with Math206 during the COVID crisis and he was very helpful even when I failed the final. Homework was online (even before the pandemic). he just didnt post grades until the end of semester which i didnt like. But I would definitely take him again, overall great math professor.

I took Prof. Jagai for MAT 206 and his lectures are great, he has lots of videos to help you to understand the class notes that is given. He even will meet with you online to help you understand any problem. He is there to help anytime you need it, all I had to do was ask for his help. He is the best I have taken for Math at BMCC. Great prof.

Great professor overall. He was demanding but in the interest of a student. Will help you prepare and learn. Good listener, not judging.

I took Prof. Jagai during the summer and it was very different form my other professor during the spring semester. He is MUCH more organized and his lesson are crystal clear. He is also available to help you via zoom if you need help or as a group. He is very helpful, he help us on Sundays which I thought was amazing. He is the best!

He's a really nice dude and very helpful. He truly wants to see his students do well. I definitely recommend taking him for online classes.

I just finished taking Calculus with him, and I must say i did enjoy Calculus. I generally do not enjoy Math, but he was really good. He does want his student to learn and he will call on you to get involved. His lesson are great, and they are online immediately after the class.

I was initially reluctant to enroll in his MAT206 course considering the reviews, but I dont regret it. Plain and simple, hes a good professor in the sense that he knows how to teach and will help you out. HOWEVER, you must do your part. I suggest purchasing the textbook and doing harder problems; go to office hours (no one went, take advantage!)

He is strick, but you will learn form him. His class video are great. I did learn a lot from him.

He is really strict in the beginning but he become more relax as we get into the semester. Be ready to do the work though, he require proof of work for exams.

Classmates that didn't pay attention or full on slept in class always had an excuse or complaint about him. He's a good teacher and fair, does not give special treatment or coddle students which some people at BMCC are too used to and they end up surprised when he judges you only by your work.

Professor Jagai is a very enjoyable professor, he likes making jokes (some are math related) and his lectures are super fun and very easy to follow. Whether you love and hate math, you'll love taking his class! He's very responsive outside of class and grades quickly and fairly

Prof. Jagai is a great outgoing prof, he is very open to helping his students out when they don't understand a problem, always have your formula sheet and calculator when you go to class.

He is such an amazing professor, I only had him for 3 weeks since it was a winter course but he is very dedicated to his work and helps the students understand the material. As long as your show up and do the work you'll pass. he is amazing guys, TAKE HIM!!!

Sarcastic, do not feel bad if he makes any weird comment, he is just joking. makes sure everyone understand the material, he doesn't play about being on time to his class, he will give you the grade you deserve, very caring and funny in class, if you taking a morning class with him, he is not going to make you fall asleep. homework every week.

Explain the course content well. He does care about you and will assist you during his offer hours or before class starts. Be on time to class

Took Professor Jagai for precalculus and calculus. He's very thorough and will repeat things as many times as you need to understand. His exams and homework assignments are fair and he will always make you laugh in class. His office hours are flexible and he answers emails quickly which is extremely helpful

I took MAT 206.5 and he taught Intermediate Algebra first which prepared me for the PreCalculus part of the course. He is great at explaining the material and he even posted the class notes for the class, in addition he has amazing videos for most of the topics covered. Thank you prof. Jagai

He explains difficult stuff using pre-calc examples which is really clear if you know it. Also, he wants to help you get a good grade by reviewing possible problems before exam/quiz and if you will ask he even can give extra credit problem. Finally, I can say that I'd love to take him for MAT302, but he doesn't teach it :(

Professor Jagai cares about students success as long they care about the material. Professor Jagai has a clear and concise way of teaching that makes understanding the material clear and uncomplicated. Don't be afraid to ask question he will try his best in helping you understand the concept as long as you're willing learn.

I have always struggled in math in high school and was afraid to fail his class. But he's awesome, cares about the student's success. Opportunity for extra credit and won't mind you asking questions. He also makes funny jokes lol. Would recommend him and take him again if I have another math course. :)

Best math professor at BMCC. Cares about his students. Has no problem explaining concepts again and again until all students understand. Exams are not easy. However, you will be prepared as long as you attend class and do the homework.

Professor Jagai really cares about his students, he give them extra tries at the HW during the break. He also comes to class early to help anyone who needs help with their work. he is amazing in explaining, I never did well in math but he made me understand math.

When I first joined the class, I was quite overwhelmed because I couldn't keep up with the pace of the class. However, fortunately, I self-studied and was able to catch up. Overall, I could understand most of what the professor taught, and the tests were fairly manageable.

Gives Homework every week and must be done within a week, great lectures. Do not expect to leave class early. He is great at explaining.

Professor Jagai was great. His teaching style isn't for every

professor jagai is great. he's intimidating but he makes sure you pass the class if you show up and do the hw. makes jokes, cold calls, explains the problems well. beware - do not take this class if you have social anxiety. if you want to be good at math, he'll push you. if you want an easy A, dont take him

He gives amazing lecturer and wants his students to learn. I was afraid of math, but he actually made it easy for me. He is really good.

He is a great Prof. The best part about him is he cares if the students understand the topic well or not. If anyone has any issue understanding any topic, he explains it to them until they get it.

I really loved this professor, he should consider stand-up comedy (unironically, he's just funny) and he really helped make the summer class more accessible. His grading can be sometimes 'nitpicky' but it's for good reason as he wants to build strong foundations in math for every student. Hope to take him again for Calc II.

Professor Jagai is such a great educator!!! After 13 years away of class, coming back to College Algebra was terrifying, but I learned a lot during his class. He wants you to participate, don't miss class, do all the homework and pay attention. Most of the exam questions are already given during practice/HW. Overall, great experience.

Just follow the formula he teaches and you will pass! He offers tutoring certain days to help and he doesn't have an issue going over things a few time to ensure you understand. He has a great personality and humor. I appreciate all the help and patiences he gave me!!!

He's a great teacher who explains math clearly, but your grade relies on only three tests. There's no extra credit, so if you care about high grades, you must study hard and ace them. One bad test can heavily drop your average since there's nothing else to balance it out. Will i take him again? no. Did i learn? Hell yeah but with lots of stress.

Professor Jagai really cares about his students, if you behave like you are in high school you will not pass. His notes are great and he does give homework once or twice a week, but the quiz and exam are just like the homework. His MAT 150 class was very easy, every exam he told us what will be on it. He is great.

Professor Jagai teaching methods are very straight forward. Homework's are basically practice questions for the exams. I recommend taking this class in person, coming to class everyday, doing your homework, and study the material. Practice makes perfect. Decided to take him again for MAT 206.

Professor Jagai MAT 206 course started off great, went over the key essentials for college algebra, however towards the end it got a bit difficult because the lectures were a bit rushed. Exams weren't bad, but I recommend studying for the final. As there were some unexpected questions. He does provide practice questions.
