This guy is the best math teacher I have ever had. As long as you do the work, you will do well - that means *all* of the homework... I did and got an A.

He was an okay teacher, but not great. He is very dry.

I think he's a good teacher, not amazing, but still very good. He really breaks things down for you. As long as you go to class every day and at least pay attention, you should do well. If you actually do all the homework, you'll do really well.

Mr. Abert is a good teacher. He can be a little on the boring side. I didnt pass his class in the Fall and i am taking it again w/ Ms. Domm (see her rating next) but i guess at the end i should thank him, cause now i understand it better and i am passing!

An outstanding Professor! I highly recommend him! He is clear in what he wants, teaches, and expects. He volunteers at the math help center and makes himself available during office hours. Easy to talk to and to ask questions. An outstanding professor!! I wish he taught 1106 this semester.

His class was not easy because statistics is very hard but he was helpful and taught the material thouroughly. You have to study and got to class or you'll get very hard behind. He curved the tests every time.

One of the best math teachers I have ever had (Im not very good at math). The subject is boring..it's math! He is thorough and really knows how to teach. He leaves out the un-needed stuff and concentrates on what you need to know to pass the test. DO YOUR WORK AND GO TO CLASS or you will NOT pass.

OK teacher. He goes very in depth, sometimes too much so

I hate math but this guy is one of the best math teachers I've had. He isn't a boring robot like others... I even had his class at 9 am and stayed awake every day!

dont take his clASS

Mr. Abert is a really nice guy. He definately cares about students and will try to help you in terms of your career. You can tell that he really likes math, but sometimes he gets on a roll and doesn't explain things so well. He's a good teacher overall though; I'd take the class again (got a B).

Best math teacher I ever had. I took trig before with someone else and had to drop. Abert made everything clear. Hard tests, though.

He is an awesome teacher!!!! I am horrible in Math but his class was so easy and he was a great teacher. He explains everything and answers all questions. He always reviews the day before the test. As long as you take notes you'll do great!

I really enjoyed Mr. Abert's College Algebra, and I highly recommend him as a professor.

He is fantastic. Not an easy A, but very fair with grading. The tests are no joke, but neither is the material. He knows the material like Newton himself, and his enthusiasm for math is contagious. He also has a good sense of humor. If you love math take him, if you hate math and need an easy A, look somewhere else.

Nice Guy. Always gives out practice tests which are similiar and helpful.

Taught the material well but if you missed a class it was very difficult to learn from the book. Not too strict on attendence but definitely a class you want to attend every day.

He's tough but thorough. Subject matter was difficult and he has a way of moving quickly through it. Better study to keep up

GREAT TEACHER!!!! I HATE MATH BUT FOUND THAT ALL THIS TIME I WAS TAKING THE WRONG PROFS...HE IS VERY THOROUGH, NEVER GETS IMPATIENT, WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTION AND IS VERY ACTIVE IN THE MATH CENTER FOR EXTRA HELP. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE THAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH MATH TO TAKE REX ABERT, HE REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF AND LIKES SHARING!!!THANKS REX!!

I really liked Rex. He is always willing to help out. He sets aside a good portion of his class time just for questions. Rex is very active in the math help center. He know his stuff. If you take his class make sure you go to class. No homework is given for credit. Your grades are based on test scores alone.(which he always curves)

Awesome teacher. His class is tough if u dont try, but if you have any questions or problems he will be more than happy to help you. So far, best math teacher i have ever had and want to take hime for the rest of my math classes. Tells you exactly what is going to be on the test, just go to class and listen and you'll get at least a B

Rex is tough but fair. He knows math, so if you're considering math or engineering as a major he is a great option.

Mr. Abert really cares about his students. He is very wiling to help anytime you have a question. I HIGHLY recommend him. I hope I can get him for statistics.

Mr. Rex is a tough teacher but a very good one. I had to take the class two times to finally pass. I took him twice, I understood it more the second time. Its hard enough to learn it the first time but can be done..I suggest math lab, alot.

if your lookin for a professor to GIVE you an A dont take him. if you really want to learn the material take him. he never tried to trick you or anything on his tests, if you knew the material you aced it. the final is a department exam, he prepared me well and i aced that Bih! Take this dude!

Good teacher...extremely helpful and easy to understand. This class was very simple although very boring. He's my #2 choice behind Mr.Smart for the MGF classes.

Great math teacher! Kinda dorky jokes, but you will learn math!

Abert is a somewhat dorky, but interesting & informative teacher. i used 2 hate math but he made it interesting. he runs through the information quickly, but will repeat info. as many times as it takes 4 u to get it. u should go 2 class b/c there r sometimes concepts that r in tests that r not in the book. book use is not required, but it helps.

He explains everything well. Always asks if there are any questions. Great teacher, easy class. You don't need to buy the book! Only the my math lab code and the text book will be online.

You should go to class and take notes. If you do homework and take quizes (MyMathLab) regularly, it is not that hard to follow this course. You don't need to buy a book; buying the MyMathLab access code is enough. Take his class!

Great Professor. The Lon Capa deal was kind of lame but his teaching methods were excellent. I'll take him again if can. If you go to class and take notes you'll breeze through. He's very willing to help all of his students.

He is very helpful and if you go to class its easy. I taken him for college algebra, trig and precalculus.

Awesome professor. Explains things very clearly, and always answers questions. If you do your assignments, you will do well.

Great teacher. He genuinly loves math and loves teaching. I had him for Calc 1 summer '11 and it was amazing. The way he teaches you can tell that he wouldn't be happy doing anything else. He NEVER makes fun of a student for asking a stupid question, is very patient. Keep up with the homework, go to class(pop quizes)and ask questions and you'll pas

He is the first teacher I've ever had that made me love and genuinely understand math. I'm both ecstatic and grateful that I was able to be his student. I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating, but that's how I really feel. You have to study, though, just like you should study in every math class. I love this teacher and encourage you to take him.

Best math teacher I ever had!!! He's quirky and has sort of a dry sense of humor. He explains everything very clearly and there really isn't too much homework. First time I've ever enjoyed going to math class. Awesome teacher. If given the opportunity, TAKE HIM!!! :)

This teacher made me realize that I love math, and that I want to pursue a math-heavy major. I am so grateful to have had him. Thank you, Professor Abert.

Rex Abert was the best math teacher that I've ever had. He presented the material we needed clearly and gave plenty of examples. He made you earn your grade and he was always willing to help. Great teacher!

Absolutely one of the best math teachers I've had. Explains everything very clearly, gives excellent notes in class. Very helpful and available in office hours. He's got a dry sense of humor but if you get it he's hilarious. I had him for Trig and Calc 1 and would take him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Very good teacher! As long as you keep up with homework and making sure that you understand the material you can get an A.

Really helpful teacher. Always has a positive attitude and is willing to answer any questions you have. Incredibly laid back, but expects you to learn the material.

Best professor ever!!! Take him if you don't get an A its because your lazy not because he is a bad professor. He really cares for his students and wants us to understand the information and do well.

Excellent teacher! Do all your homework, and you will do well in the class. He is very helpful

Very good professor. He teaches in a very informative way. I would recommend him. Sometimes fast but very helpful in explanation of material!

Excellent professor!! Very informative and makes sure you know the material. Homework is done online, but if you do it and show up to class consistently you will get a good grade

Great professor!! The way he teaches is very informative and clear, and he makes sure you understand the material. The homework is done online. If you do the homework and show up to class every time you will get a good grade

Mr. Abert is a wonderful professor. If you attend class, ask questions, and study the material, you should be able to get a good grade! Be prepared for quizzes every few weeks and tests. He gives you a pacing schedule so you know when tests are. Just pay attention in class & study and you should do well!

Great guy, is willing to help and is pretty reasonable about grading policies. the online homework is another story… you'll work on it for hours and have to teach most of it to yourself

Awesome math teacher, by far the best one at tcc. If you go to class and do the hw you will learn the material. I didnt even have to study for the tests because the hw prepares you. Write down all his notes from class. Hes great you would be lucky to take him

very orderly, examples or lessons have structured appearance on the chalk board. straightforward quizzes and tests. His example drawings of methods to calculate area or volume are pretty good, and very precise. very good teacher.

This was the best math class I've taken. As long as you follow along in class and keep up with the work you will pass. He does not spoon feed you the material, but if you have any understanding of algebra then his lessons will be easy to follow. If you struggle with basic concepts this may not be the class for you. His lessons are through but fast.

The class moves pretty fast. Sometimes he thinks he goes over a subject, but he never did. That's why it's important to do the homework and ask questions otherwise the material on the tests will be something you've never seen. It definitely takes a certain kind of person to excel in his class.

Rex Abert is the MAN. Took him for Calc II and he made the material understandable, not easy when you're working with Series. Not the toughest grader, has two formulas to calculate grade and best of all open note tests.

He's a good Professor.

Mr. Abert is one of my favorite professors at TCC. He made MAC1140 stupid easy. He's also pretty funny.

He is a Mathematics man. Awesome. I had him for precal and will take him all of myh maths if I can

great teacher, going to his office hours is very helpful because he is willing to go over and workout any problem you ask him too. lots of homework but it prepares you for the test. pretty funny. tests are based on the homework, very fair grader. . don't skip class. this class will not be an easy A. study and do your work and you will get an A.

Good at explaining new material. Moves at the perfect pace. Will answer any of your questions perfectly. Tests are a lot easier than the home works. Gives partial credit on tests. Tests are only 45% of the grade so if you fail one dont worry.

Professor Abert was a good professor. He teaches a little fast in my opinion but he is very knowledgeable. He takes attendance but does not give any in class quizzes. 10% of your grade is online LONCAPA and this alone will teach you everything you need to pass the class. He does not give study guides for the tests but you can just review LONCAPA.

get ready to take notes. he writes them all on the black boards and doesn't post anything online. If you miss class you wont have any idea what's going on unless you go to his office hours

No comment. He is awesome. if not, you are not doing what you have to do for a math class. Do not complain you teacher.

Professor Abert was an all around decent professor for Calc 2. He struggles in teaching you new material right off the bat, and typically expects that you will have read the section being covered in class before hand. He doesn't curve or drop lowest test grade, but he is a very easy grader on tests, and gives a lot of partial credit on problems.

I love math it's easily my favorite subject. This professor is very passionate and does an excellent job of explaining things. I'm not a fan of liberal arts math because I hate word problems, he does an amazing job teaching and it was np for me. Attendance isn't mandatory but I took it as express and if you skip, you will easily fall behind.

Abert is a genuinely nice person and shows enthusiasm. He will only invest in you if he sees that you invest yourself in learning the material. This is math people, you are inevitably going to practice constantly in order to fully grasp what you are learning. The hw problems aren't ever too challenging. If you do the hw the tests should be eazy.

Hes a thorough instructor. If your a math or engineering major hes your guy. If not, like I am not, then he is not your guy. Got an A but he defiantly makes you work for it. Will ensure you are prepared for future math classes.

Incredibly helpful if you have questions.

Great teacher, he really knows the material and presents it in an easy to understand way.

A good class with lots of interesting topics. You get to retake a test, so it is very easy to get a good grade. He explains everything so you can understand it.

He is the first math teacher I've ever had where math made sense.

I'm surprised that Prof. Abert is rated so low? I found him extremely helpful and he seemed like a genuinely nice person. You have to try hard though: this is college math and there is no easy way to get good at it. He does a lot of examples in class - so review your notes regularly, and you'll get a decent understanding of "how" and "why".

Great professor, explains everything in simple terms and lectures are very easy to follow. Even if you suck at math, you can pass this class. He answers any and all questions. Just pay attention and do the homework.

I couldn't speak math before this class. This class is an amuse bouche to everything you need to know to get by "speaking math". It worked best for me to participate & do all the homework in order to get a 100 (practice makes perfect). He responds to questions. I now speak just enough math to look like I know what I am talking about. He is patient

This is a lecture-heavy math class where you'll need to take a lot of notes. The way this class is taught makes the subjects simple and easy to understand. There is a lot of homework, but the homework also helps with future tests. Not strict on attendance, but it's a class where if you miss a day or two of learning you'll fall behind.

Teacher was very nice and gave great lectures. Everything he taught was on the test and the difficulty of the homework was the exact same for the test. He runs through the homework in class and always asks if anybody has questions constantly. As long as you write down everything he does you should have no problem getting an A,make sure to show work

Professor Abert's class is fast-paced, with mandatory attendance and long, frustrating homework on an outdated site. However, his clear lectures and helpful review of homework make the material manageable. unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for me to prep for tests.

He tends to move quickly, so if you do better learning in a slower environment, he may not be the teacher for you. He assigns online math homework and occasional homework to turn in person but gives a good amount of time to complete it. He gives partial credit on tests, which significantly helps your grade.

Professor Abert is great. He has a very laid-back personality. He works quickly but stops and helps everyone remain on the same page. If you come to class, do the homework, ask questions - you'll pass. He is easy to approach and work with. Always encourages students to do homework, even if late.

The formatting used for all assignments is a little difficult to use at first. Compared to most teachers, I feel like he is very empathetic and understanding towards students, which is hard to find and teachers these days. It's very easy to get a hold of him. some of the assignments can be long, so procrastination isn't ideal (learned the hard way)

Mr. Abert is an excellent professor. He speaks clear about the lessons. Takes time to answer question and is available after hours through email. I look forward to taking his next class level.

Professor Abert was a decent professor. He's more of an "actions speaks louder than words" professor, come with a willingness to put in the work and you'll find out that he will go out of his way to help you. He does use an outdated platform called loncapa and gives you a tutorial on how to input the data. Test and Exams weigh allot more than HW.

Buckle up, people are not kidding when they say this is a hard class. Do you have a significant other? Well congratulations, it's now Calc 2. Rex is such a caring professor and you can tell he's been teaching the material for decades. He does tend to skip steps sometimes, so just be careful. He is very generous when it comes to paper based grading.
