Math is hard, this professor is not. His syllabus clearly outlines the semester, students that didn't read it end up surprised but that's their problem. He's very helpful if you take the time to ask him for help, he keeps office hours every day. He's a facinating guy, I'm glad I took his class.

THIS TEACHER IS GREAT. SOME GUYS ARE RATING HIM VERY POORLY BUT THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S A NEW TEACHER AND THEY LIKE TO PICK AT HIM. HE GOOD. TAKE HIM. YOU WON'T REGREAT IT. HE GIVES YOU REVIEW EXERCISES SO YOU CAN GO HOME AND STUDY FOR THE EXAMS. THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL. YOU COULD TAKE MARINO...HE BAD, ME

Very easy on grading. His lecture is kinda boring becuase math is boring. He announce the sections that will be quiz on.

He explains things very well, and lets you know exactly what is going to be on the test...just don't let your cell phone ring, or he will kick you out!

MATH NAZI!!! this guy repeats everything...so boring but explains well. hates admiting hes wrong. on occasion he assigns people to seats. do your hmwrk and you should be fine.

He is very good. he teaches somehow that you get the concept very well. He likes to challenge his students and help them to use thier brain,instead of just giving you the answers, which is really helpful and important in math classes. In otherwords he helps his student to believe in their abilities

he's a good nice friendy proff. but he is really boring, you should take this class if you can handle boredum b/c he teaches atraight from the book

Lectures very boring, Test, quizes...easy. He is also an easy grader. Very nice to talk to

Very good, explains everything in simple terms, and helpful. Just follow his directions and you will do well in this class. He is clear in his expectations. although a beginning math class, many people need this information to get by in life, so take his lectures with a grain of salt, it is in your interest to learn this stuff.

easy grading. do the work and hang in there. Slack off and you're done

Okay let me tell you one thing, Never take a Math class in the summer its just to freakin hard. He's an alright teacher but everything goes by too fast.Sometimes you just lose interest.He's quizes are hard but tests are easy.Also TURN OFF YOUR CELLPHONES. I dont get what part of that ppl dont understand.

Jamaloodeen is A really great math teacher. He really knows his stuff. It is a little hard to take a math class in the summer, but if people would just go home and do the homework and apply everything he teaches, then there shouldnt be a problem at all. His quizes are simple if you just know your stuff. He generally puts one question on them.

Dr. J. is a great teacher. I've never had a teacher who had more passion (especially for math). Clearly one of the best math teachers if not the best teacher I've ever had. Do the homework, don't be afraid to ask questions, and don't worry if you don't do well on the first test. It gets easier toward the end.

OMG really great teacher. He is really easy, i took him in the summer and i didnt do really well on his tests and quizes, but I still got a "B" in his class(i could have gotten an A):( he gives u many opportunities to bring up ur grade. Anyways take him, hes final was sooooooo easy it wasnt even on the whole book.

Although he teaches at a JC, taking his class feels like your at a university. He is brilliant and the best teacher I have had in any subject, ever. I am so glad I've had a chance to learn from him. If you honestly want to learn the material, he is your best bet. Because of Dr. J I've decided to major math.

He's alright. The guy below took it with him got an A and still complains. Ha! Ha! Feel sorry for all those fellows who have to take it online now. You could've taken it with him or you can now take it online. I would have settled for him. He's not all bad/

He have a good way of teaching but it's kind of hard to follow on the topic of what he talking about lol.

Weird guy; obviously a mathematician! Overall a good teacher despite an awful book. Tests and quizzes easier than most of the homework (I thought so). Not much partial credit, so check your work! Goes off an tangents that don't make sense sometimes. Gives extra credit exam and drops quizzes. Not an easy A, but an easy pass at the very least.

Dr. "J" is a funny little man, and a great mathetician. He does demand a lot of his students, but he is a fair grader, and he doesn't test you on anything that he hasn't taught. My advice for success in his class: GO TO LECTURE and DO THE HOMEWORK. I am totally bummed that I can't take him again next semester.

He really knows mathematics, and gives clear examples to the class on the best ways in which to learn mathematics. He will stay after class with you, is reasonable about makeup tests, will answers any question you have both in and out of class, and has a sense of humor. He is a doctor, very personable, and does not have an accent to confuse you.

Honestly, he is not as bad as people say. He is simple and test only on what he has taught in class. Just review the materials alittle bit. (like u should) I am really bad at math and I still managed to ace his tests. Put in a little effort and do not complain and go to the dean about ur grades if you don't study or pay attention...after all its your own responsiblity and willingness to learn.

I took him in the summer. If you learn to use the TI83 calculator in his class you should be ok. The class was fast but he was fair and he helped a lot.

I took this class for interssession. It was 4 weeks and it was very quick. He was very clear and helpful and was happy to help. Take him and if you do your work you should be alrightt

The book is bad. He gave out lecture notes and he used powerpoint lectures that he also sumarized and gave. His exams are from the homework. I got an A and Im not a math whiz

very good professor. It was 4 weeks intersession class. Very quick and lots of students drop. He gives test like the homework and like the example and exercise in the book. No lab in interession but long class from 9 to nearly 4 in the afternoon every day.

very motivated

dude..dr. j's cool. his accent isn't that bad, straight up! try teaching different types of math classes (maybe bad day or what not) and getting everything right. he's not God, he's dr. j..that's it. just relax and laugh a little because dr. j is a funny man, who uses "ah ha, i sense a little dissension in the ranks."....yes or no? ha..ha..get it?

He's a funny guy..that's for sure. The only difficult thing for me is that i learned math differently in high school then how he teaches. Besides that, he's very helpful.

Dr. J is the man!

Great professor! He is extremely helpful and is willing to help anyone that is in need of help.

I made a B in Dr. J's class, after not making a B in math since freshman year of high school. If you pay attention, he's a good professor. If not, you'll fail. Accent isn't horrible, would recommend.

Great teacher! I didn't do anything beyond the assigned work (one assignment a week) to prep for the tests and got an A. He is able to teach the material in a clear and understandable way... show up to class and pay attention is all that's required.

Best teacher ever!! theres no way you will fall asleep in his class! very motivated and helpful. Just pay attention and theres no way you end up failing his class!

Very cool and laid back teacher. Has a passion for math. Lecture basically consists of doing problems. Sometimes have daily quizzes. Has online assignments every one to two weeks. Gives out review guide which is literally EXACTLY like the exam. Like this teacher, would take him again. Only need course compass. Rest of class is mediocre in grades.

He is a great professor, listens to the students when in need for extra points on the tests. He gets a bit too excited with the teaching though, which can often be strange for a math class, but over all, great great great professor. I learned a lot in his class.

Decent teacher. very boring, but aren't all math teacher boring? Very helpful overall... attendance is mandatory... i wouldn't take him again though..

He explains things pretty well for you to understand.

I took his class during the summer and got a B, but I could have gotten an A if I tried. He explains the subject matter fully, and if you're having trouble, you can ask him. His lectures are well prepared, concise, and usually error free. If you have questions then he is helpful. If you are serious with your work then he is a good professor.

Dr. J is a very exciting teacher. No need to buy a text book, he gives great a great lecture and notes. Take full advantage of practice tests and homework.

Dr. J is awesome. He is very good at getting the material across to students. He doesn't take attendance; however, if you don't go to class it is very likely that you will fail. He doesn't require a textbook, but you do need mathlab. Homework and paying attention in class are the main things you have to do to pass this class!

Dr. J is a wonderful professor. Enough said.

Dr. J is a great math teacher. He teaches concepts with simplicity and clarity. I usually fear math but his teaching technique helped calm all my fears and I passed college algebra. Class attendance is a must - as he always might have surprise quizzes.

Dr. J is a hard professor. Honestly, I went into his class as a slacker, but I came out as a hardworker. His toughness yet positive attitude set me straight. Because of him, I'll be the first black male in my family to graduate and go on to get a graduate degree. I needed a hard teacher to get through my hard head, lol. I respect him A LOT!

I don't know why people complain about him. He helped me get through the class.

Dr. J is one of the most enthusiastic professors that I have ever had. He is loud though, so make sure you are prepared for that! His tests were average difficulty, but if you prepare using the material he provides then you will be set. I enjoyed his course and I would take him again for another math course if I had the chance.

He's awesome.All you have to do is ask for help!

I am currently in Dr. J's Precalc class and he is absolutely amazing. He is enthusiastic and extremely willing to meet and help with anything. I absolutely LOVE him and I wish other professors were half as entertaining as he is. I would love to take additional math classes with him. He is a genius and should be applauded for the "show" he puts on!

Dr. J was an amazing math professor, and I am terrible at math. He is very willing to help and he makes sure everyone is involved during classes. He learned everyone's name and would call on them to get them involved, annoying but helpful. He has a mild accent, but I had not trouble understanding him. Take him! He's amazing!

Dr. J said his summer classes are more fun. He is enthusiastic about teaching and tries to make the class fun. Calc 2 is REALLY hard (for me at least) and his tests aren't that easy. However, he is lenient on grading and allows you to make up points. He also drops homeworks, quizzes and tests. Remember, it's math, so make sure you study everyday.

He was so energetic! He has the coolest analogies in order to help you understand the subject matter. I took him over the summer and although I was take Organic Chemistry and Biology I still managed to do pretty well in his class. The test are reasonable if you do your homework you should be fine.

Calc 2 is a difficult subject, but this professor is by far the most energetic and passionate teachers at GGC. He makes really great analogies that anyone can easily remember. I highly recommend for anyone to take him.

I got an A but I had to work hard for it. Awesome professor. If you do all the exercises from the papers he post, then you are ready to score an A too. Everything he puts on the "boards", everything you put on your notebook. Notes are very important. If you are a math major then you must take this class!! Good luck!

He is not an easy A, you have to work for it but if you try there's is no way not to get an A. Defianetly would recommend him, he knows what he is teaching!

Calc 2 sucks. Dr. J makes it bearable, witty, but very fair in his grading and expectations of the student. He is like that crazy smart math teacher from the movies, who should be doing some other job than trying to explain things to kids who don't really want to understand the material. Anyways, clear criteria for tests and tests are 90%

Dr J. is one of the most enthusiastic professors I've met. He's very funny and very interactive with his students. BUT be warned he doesn't give any formula sheets. His stance on that - you will be forced to learn and understand the material more without any formula sheets (I agree with that logic). He also gives life advice which is interesting.

dr. J is one of the coolest professors ive ever had. i got an A+ in his mini mester course of calc 2. He wants to see you succeed. show that you think the class is cool (because it is) He is even willing to help you when you are no longer in his class.

I am a transient student , and Dr. J is the best math professor I had in the past three/four years. He is very enthusiastic about his job, and there are ton of example problems to do after class. If you think this class is bad, for those students who are gonna transfer out of GGC,I will say you haven't seen "worst" yet. Dr. J is the best!

Dr. J is easily the best math teacher I have ever had. I hadn't taken calc 1 since high school and took calc 2 with him as a junior in college. He makes a very difficult subject easily understandable to all. He is a tough grader but you put in the time and effort you should be well prepared for his tests and quizzes if you take good notes!

Dr. Mohammed is the greatest professor to bless Religious Studies SD sta. He is an unbiased master of the three Abrahamic texts and knows how to explain the chronological link between them to show how much there is in common, as well as disproving attempts to misinform the public. Class usually got intense and you really never knew what to expect.

Dr. Muhamad Jamal 3 exams, all open book. This class is all done on Excel. He has patience with people who are new to Excel. You do problems in class and solutions are posted online. Exams are JUST like practice probs. Its open book, so use it! You will need to purchase My stat lab and It lab, both $75 bucks. You NEED LAPTOP for class. Take him,

Dr. K actually cares about your grades (well in my case he does) but I just HATE the Aleks online learning system. It's extremely difficult and frustrating. Also, be sure to study for the final because it covers EVERY single lesson and is worth more than half of your final grade.

Yup test heavy. Homework optional. Doesn't grade.

He knows math. Don't know what the guy's below me are complaining about. Test instructions "This exam consists of 8 questions, each worth 6 points, for a total of 48 points. All work must be shown. Answers without proper justification will be given little or no credit. Unless stated otherwise, all answers must be exact ..."

Few teachers can keep me awake in an 8AM math class, but Dr. J is one of them. Especially if he walks in with coffee, you need to sit down, shut up, and pay attention or it'll fly right over your head. On tests, show all work for full credit, and read each question carefully. He is difficult but he is fair, and don't be afraid to ask him for help.

Dr. J!!! He's a cool dude! The subject is hard! You MUST pay attention and STUDY in order to do well in this course. He is very enthusiastic about teaching. He does sometimes get tripped up over his own slides, but he is very knowledgeable in the subject. Don't hesitate to ask questions. He'll make you look stupid but you'll learn from it for sure!

I absolutely LOVE Dr. J. Math has never been a strong subject for me but he taught in a way that actually made perfect sense. He didn't just give us the quadratic formula and tell us to just plug and chug. He showed us HOW it was derived and WHY it's important. His class truly changed my perspective on math. & He will meet outside of class to help!

Dr. J is an AMAZING prof! He grades fairly, his teaching tactics are easy to grasp, & he will answer all questions. Please take these negative reviews with a grain of salt & don't be afraid to enroll in his course. I am flourishing under his instruction! However, if you don't want to learn & expect shortcuts, enroll in someone else's course.

CALC2 is not an easy subject, but VERY POSSIBLE. Dr. J was able to simplify the information and make it so exciting! He's very animated, and can be very tough on you- You will have to memorize all formulas, methods, rules etc. You are expected to remember all math previous from the class, tests are only 5-10 questions long (free response). MML big

Dr. J has his own teaching style that can be a little overwhelming at first. He is very energetic and bold when teaching and if you ask a question he will most likely embarrass you in front of the class but you will learn from it. He is very smart and teaches you the reasoning behind the math but doesn't do tons of examples in class.

he was a good professor. he made learning fun by being funny, he made precal easy to understand, and would answer your questions as best as he could. he has a heavy accent but you just have to really be listening to make out what he's saying, and if you don't he also works out the math as simply as possible. great professor.

Syed Jamal is one of the best math professors at Phonix. He helped me understand algorithms in discrete math very well.

Despite what people have to say about him he is actually a very good professor and he cares, as long as you take the time to do the work and show up to class you will be fine. Yes is test are only a few questions but if you understand the material or talk to him he will help you. He does make you work for a good grade but he is amazing.

Professor Jamaloodeen is amazing, his class is difficult and you need to put in the work to get results. But as long as he see's you doing you work he will help you out and explain anything you may need help in. He is always available for office hours and he will make sure you understand the topic.

Be prepared for very difficult tests in Math 1401
