Teacher is extremely helpful! More than willing to meet up after class individually or in group sessions for extra help. I never cracked open the math textbook and get A's on the quizzes and tests by his lectures alone. Do his reviews and you won't go wrong on the tests. Reviews are identical to tests, except differenct numbers! HIGHLY RECOMMENED!

I was dreading taking Calc but professor Jadalla instantly threw away that fear. He is passionate about math and cares for all of his students. If you need to take Calc, do yourself a favor, take it with him! His office hours were a life saver. He took the time to make sure YOU did understand the material. One of the best. Literally.

He deserves an A++. Not exaggerating. He cracks the funniest jokes, his lectures are extremely clear, very forgiving on mymathlab assignment deadlines, and gives exam reviews that guarantee an A+ if you pay attention and take notes. I went to his late night stat class, b/c everyone here recommended him. I do not regret it at all.

Prof. Jadalla is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Funny but straight up. His lectures are organized with a main idea and the examples always refer back to it. He has weekly quizzes that he uses to keep attendance but they're not hard. All HW was in Mathlab, you don't even need the book. He was super accessible, had office hours on Saturday.

Greatest professor! I have taken 121 and 180. There is online assignment worth about 10% (121), and in-class quizzes about 15%, as long as you shown in the class, he nearly gave you the answer right before quizzes.
