This teacher is AMAZING, he's straight-forward and simple teaching style is what keeps me in this class. He has a great sense of humor, and doesn't hesitate to joke around with the class. He also gives 'free' quizzes (10/10) just for showing up! I don't need anymore math, but I will be taking his next level class because he's so awesome!
great teacher!, explains everything ten times if you need him to,makes sure everyone understands, he is super friendly, I would take him again next semester but he doesnt teach the class I need...dont miss a quiz or you loose the points. He is very fair and very nice!
Overall best professor I had. He goes over any questions you have and clarifies them. Prety decent amount of homework given, but I've managed to pass his class with an A. He's only partial this year but if theyhire him I'd suggest everyone take his classes!! :D
This teacher is really good. Alot of fun. Great personality and great teaching skills. He really knows what hes doing and has fun teaching! :)
Love him! Arranging my schedule for next semester so I can take 125 with him. Makes the material really easy to understand and is super helpful. He wants you to do well. He's got an awesome personality too, makes a 6:50am class bearable.
Excellent Professor! Has a great way of showing how to solve problems w/his two color markers. Goes over hmwrk questions & any new problems that are being shown. Quizzes are helpful & he goes over those too. For not being a morning person in his 6:50am class, I'd take the next class w/him if it was that early cuz I know his teaching style works.
I haven't even finished the course yet, and I can already confidently say he is very knowledgable on the material he teaches and therefore makes it a lot easier on the students. Highly recommended if you want to learn the material.
Awesome teacher, that class isnt hard as long as you show up. But he makes the class one you actually like going to. Doesn't care about attendance as long as you are doing well and never gripes about cellphones. Plus you really learn in his class, best teacher I have ever had
Hes a great professor! very helpful and nice to his students. I would love to take him for math 120!
Take this guy's class! I don't know what else to say. Re-arrange your schedule if you have to but this guy is the real deal. Can't wait to see him again for Trig and Calc.
Super nice guy! He teaches well, breaking down concepts on the board and even uses examples from the assigned homework in lecture. There were a couple pop quizzes, but only if he thinks everyone is ready for it; usually told us about them. Quizzes/tests were very similar to homework problems, nothing too complicated. Make sure your algebra is good!
Great teacher already planning on taking him for 120, 1 HW assignment a week and 4-5 tests but they were very short like 20 problems max. Final was a breeze only 20 questions you get a 3x5 card and he gave us an almost identical practice test!
He made algebra FUN! He went over every question anyone had and explained things clearly, so the homework, quizzes, and tests were a breeze. Math was not my strong subject before but this class changed that.
Great Prof! Easy to understand his math examples on the board. He always explained & showed any hmwrk problems in class or at his office hrs.Had him for 100&125 and his class was a blast! For me math is hard but fun to learn from him!Do the hmwrk,practice,& you will pass like me each time! Never give up cuz Jones is there to help you & he cares!
Great lectures. Helpful, friendly, and encouraging. He likes to explain complex things in very simple ways. He doesn't like memorizing formulas when you can quickly derive the information you need, so in that sense he varies from the book which is full of formulas. Homework is graded, gives quizzes, attendance is a must if you want to do well.
He's a nice guy, but the lectures were really watered down. I didn't feel like I learned that much other than the basics. Not too much application practice. If you plan on going to Calc, look into another teacher, if you just need Trig - take him.
Great Professor! This guy really knows how to teach! if you think math is hard, wait till you get into his class, you will change your mind!
He is the BEST math prof at ARC!!!
Prof. Jones is AWEsome!!! He teaches well, helping the students master the basics. He is VERY understanding and funny when appropriate. Professional and puts the students first. I was sure that I was going to end up with a B, but I received an A. I had a 85% going into the final. If you work for it, you will receive an A. Jones is there for you.
AMAZING professor! Hands down the best there is at explaining math, especially when it gets complex. In fact, I refuse to take Pre-Calc with anyone except him, and am hoping to stay with him for as long as possible in mathematics.
FANTASTIC professor! Without a doubt the best math instructor I've ever had, and I hope to remain under his tutelage for as long as possible.
hes a nice helpful teacher, but he leaves out important info, leaving you to guess whats next, he is very confusing to me, and there are alot of repeaters in my class, from his old class, HMMM
I have had Professor Jones for Math 100 (Fall 2012) and now have him for Math 120 (Spring 2013). He is my favorite professor I have had. He clearly explains every problem and works through all the steps slowly so everyone can understand. If you ask him a question he will answer in a way you understand. I highly recommend him for all math class.
Mr.Jones is awesome. Very relaxed and easy to be in class with. Always answers questions thoroughly & makes sure everyone understands the material. He listens to student feedback. He has great energy and makes it fun to come to class everyday. Overall, an excellent instructor with a great attitude.
At first I was a bit skeptical about his class. I was used to teachers handing out worksheets galore and taking quizes weekly. Instead Prof Jones just jumps straight into trig problems and we learn from there. Exams are every 2 or 3 weeks. He is leniant with grades and is very understanding. He is a good teacher and I learned alot in his class.
Good teacher!!!
Professor Jones is the BEST teacher in the world! This is coming from a person who does not mix well with math. He answers all questions and breaks everything down to my level (I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed). Take him if you can!!
Jones is a great teacher. He wants to see all of his students succeed in his classes and will help his students to achieve that. If a student goes to class everyday and does all the homework. He only has 4 tests and one final. He is extremely helpful and very nice. I throughly enjoyed his class even though math is not my best subject. Best Teacher
Jones is an amazing professor. I loved this class because he was very easygoing. He allows you to do your homework during class and you can turn it in early. He offered a lot of extra credit if you went to the tutoring. If you have an A in the class you do not have to take the final. I will be taking his math classes as long as possible.
Professor Jones is an outstanding educator. He explains everything until the entire class understands. He is patient, kind and most of all he cares about his students and loves his job! I highly recommend him to the fullest!!
best professor ever.
He's great! Very patient, funny, friendly. Wants everyone to do well and explains everything thoroughly. Highly recommend him!
Great teacher I wouldnt have been able to pass this math class without him lol...
Professor Jones is awesome! He is very clear about what will be on his exams. He teaches different types of ways to solve one type of problem. Pretty much he's probably one of the best math professors at ARC.
He is awesome. Very clear explaining how solve problems. Always adjust to the needs of his students.
Professor Jones, is without a doubt one of the top instructors at ARC. He is extremely helpful, and wants you to succeed. If you do the homework & pay attention in class, then you can pass his class. The tests are right from the book. Again, a great instructor- Take his class!!!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! enjoyable classenvironment and wants to pass his students with the best grade! do your work, show him you actually try and you will get and A! very sweet guy, always makes the material very simple to understand!
Awesome Pre-Algebra Teacher! Helpful, easy to understand, fun, good sense of humor...what can I say...he's really good at what he does; teach math to college students!
Jones was one of the most awesome teachers I've ever had. I have not taken math in about 4-5 years, and I looked forward to going to his class at 8 am in the morning. Just pay attention, ask questions, copy the problems he goes over, and you'll understand how to do all the problems. 5 Question quiz per class, 20Qx20 homework, 4 tests, 1 final.
He is an excellent teacher, you can miss class if you want and tests are very simple and are everything that is reviewed. Homework was due once a month and he takes time to explain everything to everyone.
Great teacher! Explains things very clearly. Always willing to go over it again if you need him too. Homework is online and great for practicing until you get it.
2 semester's in a row with Prof. Jones and it was well worth it! He's and amazing professor and I would take him again. He's a trigonometry wiz! He's great with pre-algebra as well! Algebra was tough for me in general and Prof. Jones was there to answer questions during class, after class, and during office hours even through emails.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Not even lying I hated and feared math. Now I really like it! He makes sure everyone understands, he shows us step by step and always asks if everyone understood after each ex he shows us. Quizzes usually once each week *5 questions. Enough time to do hw. 5 tests. These people are not lying he really is amazing. TAKING AGAIN!
great teacher!! explains math very well. moves at a slow pace to make sure you understand. Goes over everything. Grades very well!! drops lowest test score. Great math teacher!!
Professor Jones is a great teacher, if you say you need help he's there for you. The only thing I hated about his class was that he was too slow, he took forever to get through problems in lecture, I felt like I was wasting my time. But the biggest complaint I have is My Math Lab. Math is already difficult, but doing it on that was a nightmare.
Mr. Jones is a very fun and engaging teacher. He explains math concepts very clearly. Doesn't get frustrated when irrelevant questions get asked. In all, he cares for the students success and is willing to go above and beyond to clear up any issues. If you do your assignments and take good notes, you shouldn't have any problems passing his class.
Honestly the best professor I've ever had at ARC. When I picked classes for next semester I was looking to see if I could take my math classes with him. Definitely would recommend him. Homework is online and you have unlimited try's. So you can always get 100 on homework as long as you put the effort in. He makes learning math easy and fun.
Jones is by far my favorite Math teacher. His exams are straight from the homework.
Bruce Willis takes Trigonometry! Great professor! Loved by all! He makes trig simple and easy for everybody! Willing to answer any question, no matter how stupid (a lot of stupid questions)! I took his class at sierra! Wish he would teach here more: Definitely would take another of his classes! Take him before the class is full!
He is so patient . i loved this class.
What can I say? Professor Jones is the best professor at ARC, hands down. Quote me: HE MAKES MATH FUN. He is hilarious & makes you enjoy learning. I took a 7:30 AM math class & miraculously loved every minute. He is step-by-step & will go over something as many times as necessary. Grades on a curve. Very clear, helpful, & intelligent. Taking again!
Online math homework, crucial to understand the information for the test. Definitely use his office hours. Coming to his class was never dull, his smile lights up the room and makes you love paying attention to him. Wish I could take him for my future math classes!
He is the best math teacher I have ever taken. U don't need the book since he uses MYMATHLAB. HW is all online. 1 quiz per week, drops 2 lowest scores at the end. Grades very fast. Lectures are crystal clear; he does not move on unless every1 understands. Day b4 test he reviews what's going to be on the test. If math is not ur strong suit, TAKE HIM
I would take him again. It sucks how he doesn't teach STAT. He is a really a good professor who cares about the learning of his students. I have a lot of trouble in math usually but If he knows you are trying and going to tutoring he will aknowledge your hard work. By far one of the best at American River College I learned a lot.
Statway is six units, which means it's a lot of work. Jones tried to make it fun, but it was his first semester teaching it and I could tell the subject frustrated him as well. He knows Statistics, and once he learns how to do Statway he'll have a better handle on things.
A great teacher whose class I enjoyed taking. Laid back guy, clear instruction, and is there to help when you have questions.
Take him if you are not good in math he is very helpful and makes math look easy he is available to help you if you need it. He isn't a tough grader only a little bit on the quizzes but that's okay because he will still give some points for at least trying even if you don't get the answer right. I would definitely take him again. He is AMAZING.
If you are struggling in math take his class. He is passionate about his study, and wants all his students to be successful. Can't skip class if you do you will miss lots of material, but I encourage you to stick with the class be dedicated. Soak up all the information he is teaching you. You want to pass your next level of math, so don't be LAZY.
Professor Jones is a fantastic professor, really willing to help you understand the material. He answers questions from class and hw on the board explaining step by step without making you feel embarrassed for asking. Math is my worst subject and I got a B.
Best Math 32 professor. Really helpful, chill, humble.
You can't use calculators,but use your brain,Grades on a curve for exams, overall chill and humble professor. REALLY patient to help with however many questions you have. I truly admire his passion for teaching Math. I've taken him for two straight semesters so far and plan to do so again, which will make it three. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS INSTRUCTOR!
Jones is a great math teacher. I got an A in his class and I am usually awful at math. He does grade on a curve sometimes. He'll never make you feel stupid for not understanding something. He let our class out early since it was 2 hours and could become tiring. Assigns a nice amount of homework that won't overwhelm you. Textbook on MyMathLab.
Amazing teacher, everything is very clear. Too easy, even the dumbest people in class feel like geniuses. The first exam to my surprise was one of the hardest exams I've ever taken but I wasn't prepared. He is the only guy who can make math interesting regardless of whether you suck at it or not. Easy homework, easy tests. Got 97%
The best math teacher!
he is an amazing teacher very laid back and always explains very clearly. if you have a question he will go over the problem a few different ways until you understand what it is saying.
Dude is fire. He's smarter than anyone else at the college. He'll fail you if you don't do the work, but is the best teacher I've ever had. I never knew that trignometry was about triangles, circles, and angles until I took his class. Now I actually know things like the fact that sin(45 degrees)pi/4. Plus, he's really good looking. Take his class!
great professor!! very helpful. Wll do whatever he can to help you get the material. would recommend him to anyone! He was awesome!
Jones is the man, he really likes trig so it makes it easy for him to explain the concepts. He will guide you through example after example until you get it. Make sure you grab a seat in his class before it fills up. Wish I could take him for higher level math classes.
Great Teacher ! will explain everything untill you understand. i am really bad at math and I got a B he does have a lot of homework but gives you a lot of time to do it and honestly his tests are not that bad and he has a good sense of humor so sad i cant take him next semester.
I have never had an A in math till Prof. Jones! He makes everything understandable and really listens to his class. 3 tests plus a final, turn all homework in on test days. I will continue to look for his classes! Plus, he is super funny! Don't miss out!
Taking him for math 120. He is very clear and has great writing which is not often for math professors. Goes step by step, once we get the hang of formulas he shows smart ways to skip a step. Definitely would take him. Wish I knew about him for all my math classes. He makes you wan you come to class and pass thank you!
The best professor I have had. He is friendly, specific, knowledgeable and direct to the point. I would highly recommend him for you.
Really tough class for me, but I'm glad I had Prof Jones for it. He outlines literally everything you need to know for the exams- there are no surprises. He gives homework online and there are multiple pop quizzes, but you often do them as a class. He will repeat something multiple times, in different ways, until the students understand. Great guy!
He doesn't hold your hand but he isn't too strict. Fair is the word I would use to describe his grading. A great guy and a good professor, take him if you want.
I would have to say that Professor Jones is by far the best teacher I ever had for Math. Considering I am local to crc, but decided to make the drive to arc just to take a knowledgeable Math Professor. The lectures are exactly what you need to know for the exams/quizzes. No surprises here. Grading is very fair and the lectures are very clear.
Professor Jones is a great math instructor. Knowledgeable, solving math problems in easy way, Fair grading. I definitely recommend him.
He makes it very easy to pass. Curves almost every test, allows a note card or a page of notes. Often gives out take home quizzes or allows you to use notes. Homework for every class time. Do the homework. Lectures are clear. Our final was a take home final given to us the week before.
I have taken Professor Jones twice for two different math classes he is such an awesome math professor. you use mymathlab, and have a few take home quizzes, and we even got a take home exam which is the best not too many professors give out take home exams. plus Mr jones makes math fun awesome professor I highly recommend him.
I took Professor Jones for Math 330 Trigonometry. He is a great teacher to say the least! Very caring and tries his best to make sure all of his students understand concepts and succeed. Being in his last Math 330 class was fun and I remember the math to this day. Highly recommend taking any class Vince teaches!
I took his summer trigonometry class. It was easy class for me. Class includes 5 exams, quizzes almost everyday and 20 homework assignments on my math lab. Professor jones gives study guides before exams which is similar to test. His tests are mostly from homework questions. Last exam was optional if you get more than 92% . Definitely recommended..
I took MATH372 and MATH373 both on the same days. He does his test on the same days for his Trig and Algebra classes, so if you take them back to back be prepared to study a bit more. Overall, really enjoyed his math classes!
I took 372 and 373 both on the same days. He does his test on the same days for his Trig and Algebra classes, so if you take them back to back be prepared to study a bit more. Overall, really enjoyed his math classes! Also, Trig was a lot of fun to learn!
Simply one of the best Math professors at ARC. There's a lot of different ways to solve Trig problems. Prof Jones instills in us that there are many ways to solve them, although he shows us his ways. That's how Trig should be taught. He's also an amazing person in general and a very cool guy outside of class. One of the nicest professors. TY Prof!!
Proffessor Jones has become my favorite math proffessor on this campus. His lectures are very in depth, therefore all of it was pretty easy to understand. He cares about student success in his class, and will do his best to help anyone who needs it.
Professor jones in my opinion could've been the best math teacher i've ever had, BUT after the school shut down and we all transitioned to online classes he showed how little he cared about his students. He wanted us to learn entirely new concepts in trig with one very small pdf document that was halfhearted. Really disappointed in this professor.
Professor Jones is awesome!! I was so bummed when we went to online lectures because he was an amazing lecturer. He knows Trig like the back of his hand, is super patient, funny, and easy on the eyes. He makes math fun and you can tell he enjoys the subject. He assigns a lot of homework but goes over any questions you have in class. Best teacher!!!
Professor Jones is amazing!!! We used MyMathLab throughout the semester and I found their explanations very confusing. Jones made it look so simple. His lectures were very good and well organized. Plus, he makes jokes during his lectures which made it even more entertaining. He seems like a really cool guy and I hope I can take him on campus.
I feel like Jones couldve been the best math professor but his online teaching is well... not the best. If you are looking to take a class post covid w him then Id probably recommend. Just not really good online. I didnt find his lectures too helpful but mymathlab which he utilizes gave great explanations and help.
Professor Jones is by the far the best Math Professor I have ever taken! He is honestly very nice, and understanding. As someone who has always struggled in math, I passed this class with a good grade. You should definitely take him!!!
Professor Jones was the best Professor who made the toughest concepts very easy to understand. The class is Business Calculus, so obviously its not easy, but he explained everything very thoroughly and made it very easy to understand. He provided us every tool to get a good grade. I wish I could take him for every class. Hes kind and caring
Professor Jones is really good. His videos are very helpful and you can watch them at your own convenience. He explains the topics so they make sense which is nice, plus you can tell he has fun. He'll also include typed notes for a lot of the lessons which is helpful. He'll schedule individual office hours as many times as you need. I'd recommend!
He is nicer than Jesus Christ.
Ok, I earned a C, but I learned a ton. Professor Jones is super nice, really smart, and a pretty cool person. He teaches Trig by showing us why everything works so we didnt have to memorize as much. The formulas make sense to me now. His lectures are really clear and actually pretty enjoyable. Take him if you get the chance!! Hes great!!
I took Professor Jones on campus a year ago and he is phenomenal. Online, he's done a great job. His lectures are great and help out quite a bit. He cares about his students and makes himself available for private office hours that work around my busy schedule. He's very nice and has a great smile. Can't wait to take him again in person. The best!!
Ive had some great teachers at ARC, but Jones is the best. He will do whatever it takes to help you learn. He really cares about the students and is very cool. Hes totally smart and knows his stuff but is also a beast athlete. Just an all around great guy. Hed be a great person to hang out with. You should take him.
Jones is great. His lectures are fine but he really shines in office hours when you actually get to talk to him. He takes time to explain the Trigonometry in a very clear way and is enjoyable to talk with. Hes personable and charming and clearly cares. He even helped my sister with her Calculus questions during our private office hour. 10/10
Jones is solid. The due dates for everything are in MyMathLab on the first day so there are no surprises. His lectures help out a lot and hes friendly. Just do the work and try and youll be fine. Its a lot of work but if you keep up, its not a big deal. Overall, very good instructor. Hed probably be awesome in an actual classroom though.
The class literally just started but already hes been great. His videos are welcoming and hes well organized. Hes answered all of my emails right away and has been very helpful. Its easy to see why he is so well liked. So far, he seems to be very patient and very down to Earth. Im looking forward to this class and hope to take him in person.
He really takes the time to make sure you understand everything. Hell spend hours one on one in office hours if needed. Awesome guy and awesome Professor.
I took Jones on campus and hes a rock star! He makes everything look so easy and smooth. Hes really sweet and Is super friendly. Im taking him online now which is fine but I cant wait to take him again on campus next semester. Hes so smart but really humble and kind.. Take him if you get the chance. Youll love him!!
He's solid. Let's you know what is expected and sticks to it. He doesn't give extensions so be sure to keep up. He's fair and makes the class interesting. I would take him if you get the chance. I'm sure he's even better in person.
Took the online class MATH 372 (algebra for precalculus). Super nice guy and very accomodating. Willing to work with you and always able to help out. No required zoom meetings. Uses MyLab Math. No more than the usual workload for a math class. The final was VERY easy. Absolutely no reason for anybody to not have an A.
He's very good. I took him online for Trigonometry and he knows the material. I agree with the other reviews. You will do well if you just do the work. You know exactly what's expected and there are no surprises. He is very nice and is very likeable. I waited to take 372 next semester so I can take him in person. Great sense of humor and smile.
Its only been a couple weeks but I can already say Professor Jones is the best teacher I have ever had. His lectures are really good. He explains the concepts so we actually understand the material. Hes funny and super sweet and isnt a math nerd. Hes really smart but doesnt make you feel dumb. You can tell he cares. You gotta take him.
Amazing Professor! Easy Class, uses mymathlab for homework and lectures, also has videos on how to solve homework problems, gives a practice test before the exam with unlimited tries and the practice exam matches the format for the exam. Overall great professor, make sure you take him :)
This was my first class back after COVId and I’m so happy I got Professor Jones. I was really nervous but he’s casual, really nice, and super charming. He goes over everything and is really smart. He’ll stay after and help you if you have questions. Just a very solid guy. Probably my best teacher at ARC.
It is the best professor I have ever had! He explains everything very clearly during his video lectures. All homework and tests are in MyMathLab( no proctored). Do not buy a textbook tho, you won't need it. You will need to pay for the MyMathLab app and that's it. If you study hard, you will get a good grade! good luck everybody :)
I would love to take class again with Professor jones. He is a very respected professor, and helps students in a very good manner. Responds to any questions or concerns in timely manner.
Professor Jones made me so glad I decided to come back to school. He is incredible!! He smoothly walks into the room, talks and engages us for three hours, and the next thing I know, I'm smarter. He is so energetic and has a really cool personality. He's funny, entertaining, and really smart. He knows his stuff!! He's also quite charming.
This is a three hour class three days a week, and I swear it feels like it's only 30 minutes. Professor Jones is a really cool person and makes the class interesting. The class isn't easy at all, especially in person, but he makes it enjoyable. He's really smart and very charismatic. Probably my favorite teacher I've had at ARC. Super athletic too.
He's really good. I have so many questions but he always meets with me after class and explains the material without making me feel dumb. He's a very sweet guy and isn't your typical math professor. He cares about us and you can tell he's a good person. He'll spend as much time with you as you need to learn the material. Always smiling and happy.
I CANNOT express how AMAZING of a teacher Professor Jones is. I came into this class with a poor background in math. Nearing the end of the semester, I have learned so much I couldn't be happier. He is incredibly nice, and will make sure you understand everything before moving on. Just raise your hand. By far the best math teacher I've ever had.
Professor Jones expects a lot, but he goes over everything very thoroughly making the class totally fine if you put the work in. He's very good at what he does and actually makes the class enjoyable. He's very engaging and motivational and really seems to care about the students. He also looks good and seems like a fun person outside of class.
Jones requires a lot of work. The good news is you know exactly what's expected from the first day of class. You just have to time manage. His online lectures are really good. He uses MyMathLab, so with the lectures, it's really not too bad. He does online office hours, but also teaches on campus, so I was able to meet him in person. Very helpful.
One of the best professors I had for a math course, I took math 375 with the support. There are weekly quizzes. It's a difficult class but as long as you do the work you'll pass, also if you need help go to his office hours, he is there to help you. He explains everything clearly and detailed. I would 100% recommend him!
Hands down one of the best Professors at ARC period! I was never particularly great at math,but he was amazing at helping me with the work,making the class really fun and just overall a awesome prof. in general!Anyone who takes this course with Mr.Jones will feel inspired to want to learn more and take interest in advanced math.Thank you Mr.Jones!
The BEST professor at ARC! Take IN-PERSON b/c in lectures he shows us how to do all the HW. We have weekly "pop" quizzes but so far all of them have been WITH NOTES. He lets us out of class early. UNLIMITED HW attempts before the deadline and you can work ahead. And if u think ur "bad" at math, this teacher/class with change ur mind! Really nice!
Professor Jones uses MyMathLab for HW which is nice. You have unlimited attempts which helps. His lectures are so good! He has so much charisma and is really good at explaining the material. Also, he is so sweet and really funny. He's very respectful of everyone and never makes you feel dumb. Just a really good person and amazing teacher. Love him!
He's really good and pretty entertaining. Super casual and laid back and very nice. Overall, the class is totally fair and well laid out so you know what's coming. I totally agree with the other reviews in that he's very smart, but never makes you feel dumb if you don't understand. You can tell he cares and wants you to succeed. Best teacher ever.
Lots of homework
Professor Jones is solid. He does a great job of explaining the material and prepares you for the exams really well. If you put in the work, you'll do well. Be warned though, he doesn't take any BS. If you're a slacker, you will not make it. Otherwise, he is extremely helpful in office hours and after class and his personality is really cool.
Professor Jones is very chill. He's not easy by any means, but he definitely wants you to learn and he really takes the time to explain things. He's very smart and really funny in class. He has a nice way of making you feel welcome and will hang out after to answer all of your questions. Overall, just a really cool guy and very sweet. Love him!!
I was crushed he didn't teach Calc I after having him for PreCalcTrig. I find math to be difficult. It's not easy for me. He took a very intimidating subject and made it manageable. He's encouraging when you are doubting your abilities, and I never realized how important that was until I experienced it with him.
It's only the first day of class and Professor Jones is amazing!!! I'm so glad I decided to take this class in person instead of online. He has so much energy and he's so much fun. He's not like any math teacher I have ever had. Incredibly smart, great smile, high energy, and makes everyone feel at ease. Class is well organized. Love him!!!
He's really good. His lectures are three hours long, but he keeps it interesting. He definitely knows his stuff and he seems to really want us to be successful. Laid back and easy to understand. Treats everyone nice. I would definitely take him again for any math class. Just a really good person overall and very helpful.
Professor Jones is the nicest teacher I have ever had. He's always smiling and in a good mood. I don't know how he does it. His lectures are very casual, but he's so good at answering random math questions on the spot. He seems to enjoy the material and is very cool outside of class. He's very smart and fun. Just a great professor all around. Love!
I'm taking him online now, but I'm looking forward to taking him in person for Calculus. His online lectures are pretty good, but I stopped into his office hours for help and that made a huge difference. He's personable and very easy to talk to. He doesn't have the attitude a lot of professors have. Just a sweet guy and incredibly smart. I'm a fan.
Jones is awesome!! He's funny. He'll be in the middle of some crazy math lecture, then just break into some funny story about his weekend or something. Very likeable guy. I'd love to hang out with him outside of class. I bet he'd be very entertaining and fun. Looking forward to Calculus with him next semester.
He's really good. He knows math really well and always answers any questions we have. He's always in a good mood and has a nice personality. He's engaging and charismatic all the time. I would totally take him again if I get the chance. Probably the best professor I have ever had at ARC. Take him!!!
He made this semester a lot better than I thought it would be. I was really nervous about taking a 9 unit class, but he made it enjoyable. He's super personable and extremely nice. He's very good at the subject but never makes anyone feel dumb. He's encouraging and fair, and pretty entertaining. I can't wait to take him for Calculus next semester.
Where has this guy been my whole life? I'm taking him for Calculus now, and so far, he seems great. Nice personality and good vibe. He's casual but seems to know his stuff really well. Answers all questions and is very friendly. I hope he's teaching Calculus 2 next semester. HW is online.
He's been teaching us for 2 weeks so far and I've learned a ton. Not only does he know the subject really well, but he's very thoughtful and nice. He's a genuinely very nice person. His lectures are great and he answers every question very well. Great combination of smart and chill. I would totally hang out with him outside of class. Cool guy.
Rants about COVID that lack professionalism. He is ok, other than that.
He's so funny and engaging. He is by far the nicest teacher I have ever had, in that he explains things so well without ever making anybody feel dumb. He's the friendliest guy in the world and he knows his math. Does not look or act like like a typical math professor. Just a really good person and an outstanding instructor. I love this man!!
He was sick this week and I found myself missing his class!!! I don't even like math, but he's so entertaining. He makes the material fun and explains it over and over until it makes sense. He tells great stories and can relate to us since he also went to ARC. He's excellent at what he does and is a genuinely nice person. Very sweet and caring.
Go to his office hours!!! He's a perfect mixture of laid back and totally legit at math. He just gets it!! Always smiling and always great energy. I wouldn't say he's easy, but he makes it fun and as enjoyable as it can be. His class is by far my favorite class. He talks about his wife all the time which makes me sad, but it's ok. He's the best.
Jones is a legend!! I love this guy. It's crazy how nice and patient he is. He answers all questions without ever making anyone feel dumb. His lectures are pretty entertaining and he's very charismatic which helps me stay awake. He's very good at math and an insane athlete apparently. Very likeable guy which is rare for math teachers. Take him.
Jones is THE guy! He is exactly the kind of professor you want to help you make the jump from Algebra to Trig. Wicked smart in his field, charismatic, funny, and could explain the same thing 5 different ways and it would make sense. He made math fun, which is a hard thing to do. Would take again, wish he taught calc in the fall.
Jones is the perfect person to teach a daunting 9-unit 3 hour 3 days a week course: he's the sweetest, most genuine guy that wants to see you succeed. I was terrified to take this course last sem but I would take it over again just to have another class with Jones next Fall. Take his class, do not worry. I kid you not, he truly made me like math..
Taking Calc 1 with Jones was amazing - def harder than Pre tho. What really helped me were his office hours, asking q's, and talking to him - he's so sweet and speaking to him one on one reflects that. Take him if you want to laugh while solving a difficult derivative, he is incredible at lightening the mood and making everyone feel comfortable.
He was great. Super entertaining and really smart. He pretty much lectures the entire time, but he makes it fun. He let us come up to the board to do problems which I didn't think I would like, but I loved it. Just a genuinely nice person with a great personality. You can tell he wants us to be successful and cares about us. I love Professor Jones!
Great teacher very respectful. Goes fast but has no problem stopping to answer questions
Jones is really good. The class only meets one day a week, but I wish it was more. He explains things really well and is very sweet. You can tell he cares about us and is very helpful. He makes himself available for office hours and will also talk with you over Zoom. He's just a really cool person and very nice. He plays hockey too!!
So far, Professor Jones has been really good. I've been impressed by how much energy he has. His lectures are long but he's entertaining and very good at explaining things. He's very nice and definitely wants us to be successful. A lot of patience, and very good at math. Probably the best math teacher I have ever had. No complaints at all.
He's so cool. He's so funny and smart. I would marry that man.
Professor Jones has the patience of a saint. He'll literally go over any question you throw at him and never complain or make you feel dumb. He's very nice and can explain things better than I have ever seen. He makes the class fun and treats everyone well. He's just a really nice person and an excellent math professor. Professional, but fun.
I'm taking Professor Jones online and he's really good. His videos are great. My mom even watches them with me just because she wants to. He answers questions and has flexible office hours where he is very helpful. He makes the class fun. Next semester, I'm hoping I can take him in person since I've heard he's really good in the classroom.
He's just a really good person and a great professor. You know what to expect in class and he makes it really fun. I took him for Calc 1 (got a B), but got an A in Calc 2 with another professor because he prepared me. Some of us went to watch him play hockey and he was super sweet there too. Someone needs to clone this man and make 100 more.
Professor Jones is an absolute gem! He makes even the toughest math class enjoyable. His lectures are engaging, and he explains concepts clearly. unstuckstudy was a huge help for exam prep. Definitely take his class if you can.
Took his class over the summer so it was online with one in-person meet, wish it was more. He was super understanding that it is hard to learn online and held office hours weekly. He makes math fun, is handsome, and called me a gagster when I got an A on my exam. He will answer any question and offers to stay late to help. Take him if you can!
Prof Jones is THE BEST. He wants his students to do well! We had three exams and a final. I started off rough and failed the first exam. I asked for help and received so much support and opportunity to succeed! Homework is on MyMathLab with Pearson and is very helpful for practicing the material! Prof Jones is a kind person and super approachable!
Prof Jones is Awesome! I reccommend going to his office hours after every lecture to have that 1 on 1 time to ask questions and have him break down everything.
Professor Jones is amazing. This is my first math class where I think I am actually learning. I don't feel like I need to cheat to pass the class. He explains everything soooo well, I understand everything. I walk in too early in the morning with coffee and breakfast and come out feeling like an Einstein.
nice and caring, and understood when i felt nervous, it matters so much that your class talks and participates bec he's nicer to you that way, if you ask him to do a "family" quiz, he would let you, again, IF your class actively participates, just communicate, and show up!!! exams were similar to hws, a bit harder with notes, otherwise very chill
I'm taking him for MATH401. I took Calc last semester from another prof and didn't learn anything. But Professor Jones goes over everything so clearly, I'm actually understanding both classes now. He's super prepared and his notes are pristine (which he lets you take pictures of). He's so nice and so fun. I agree with everyone else. Super cool guy.
I'm taking him for PreCalculus and he's the best professor I have ever had. I hated math before, but he makes it fun. The class is 9 hours a week but it fees shorter. He's got a lot of charisma which is needed early in the morning. He's so smart and sweet, you can tell he cares about us. Apparently, he's also a really good athlete. I have a crush.
ohhhh Mr. Jones is a sweet little treat ;> his big arms are so dreamy and arghhhh i LOVE his dad bod! god his voice just makes me feel a certain way.... my little Vincent honey can get it any day of the week
Take Prof. Jones!!! His class marked the change for me when I went from thinking I was just bad at math to being confident that I could go on and pass any future math class. At CSUS I completed Calc II and I only needed Calc I for my degree. He's a treasure. Take a class from him.
Professor Jones is the best. He made Trig enjoyable for me and really took the time to explain everything in detail. His online lectures are very good, but he'll also meet you for online office hours if you don't understand something. He has a very good personality and seems to have fun which makes it fun for the students. I hope to take him live.
*For calc II* He is so friendly and good at explaining math. His notes are super neat. My only issue was that he almost never responded to emails. However, he is super lenient, many things are done as a class, practice exams are identical to the actual test with numbers switched. HW through Pearson. Take him!
I agree with the other reviews. He talks the entire time but breaks it up with jokes or stories. This was the first time he taught Calc 2, but I thought he did a really good job. I learned a lot and enjoyed the class. He made it fun and enjoyable. He's funny and smart and seems to be a really good person. Very nice and fair. Office hours are key.
Professor Jones is the best professor you will ever take. He makes sure every student understands his lectures and makes it so easy to learn and pass the class. I was scared to take Calculus II, but he made me love it. If you can take any of his classes, just know you are lucky since you're in good hands.
I'm taking him for Precalc online. His lectures are very thorough and well explained which helps a lot. He basically explains every problem. He's also on campus a lot, so if you get the chance to meet him in person, it's very helpful. He's very nice, patient, and easy to talk to. I'm hoping to take him in person next semester.
It's only the first day of class and he's already the best math teacher I have ever had. He explains things so clearly and is so fun. He's so good with the class and just makes everything enjoyable and calm. He's got a great personality and a great smile and makes us feel at ease. Honestly, I've never had a teacher like him before. The best.
He's very good. He's not easy, but if you put in the work, you will be good. His lectures are entertaining and overall, he's pretty fun. He's got a really nice vibe which is rare for other math professors I have had. I've been very happy with him so far, and hope to take him again. Just be sure to ask questions. He's really nice.
His class is so fun!!! He's great at math and explains everything so well, and he's funny. He teases us in a good way and isn't arrogant like other math teachers I've had. I love coming to his class even though it's three hours long. He's the most patient man I have ever met and his personality makes his super attractive. You will learn. He's a 10.
He's the best. I haven't liked any of my math professors before. I dropped this class last semester because the professor was so bad. But Jones makes the class fun. I've learned more than I ever have and I actually enjoy math now. He lectures the entire time, but it's really not bad at all. He's really nice and he's funny. Love him.
