One of the nicest professors I have had. Had clear lectures and obviously knew his material. Had a lot of respect for students and would often times make an effort to talk with them during breaks. Really tries to be prepared before class and will easily pause the class to clear up confusion or fix an errorMATH4545 2019-05-02 13:49:39 +0000 UTC
Had Prof. Jekel for my intro to college, as an adivsor, he is extremely helpful and is patient with you and exploring your options. He offers a wealth of knowledge and does not try and push you towards Math if you are not sure that's what you want.MATH1000 2012-04-23 17:50:01 +0000 UTC
He is good at teaching Calculus. Spends ample time explaining concepts and he makes sure the class is following. Quizzes are easy. Go to class, do the homeworks = at least a B on the final.CALC1 2009-12-14 11:46:11 +0000 UTC
literally one of the best teachers ive ever hadMATH1341 2009-11-23 20:53:08 +0000 UTC
If anything, this guy spends TOO much time on topics. He prepares you for the quizzes. Final was straight-forward. I hope he teaches another one of my math classes!MATH345 2009-04-30 13:00:58 +0000 UTC
Jekel attempts to simplify the class. He's very nice and understanding. He's very tough though. His quizzes are problems exactly like the homework (or his notes so make sure you keep very good notes) but they're always just little harder so you really have to grasp the material. he's an easy graderMATHU545 2006-08-08 21:13:55 +0000 UTC
Great professor overall. Hes really chill, will come to class in jeans and a champion sweatshirt everyday. you can tell he likes what hes doing and knows everyones names. Also really helpful when asking for extra help.CALCULUS 2005-12-17 01:55:47 +0000 UTC
if youve taken calculus in high school youre made. hes not very clear in his teaching and goes kind of fast, however, if you are new to calculus. dont be afraid to ask questions and do the hw that wont be handed in to help. hes a cute guy and u can tell he loves what hes doing, really nice. he knew a lot of our names after only about 2-3 weeks.CALCSCIENG1 2005-10-25 13:57:41 +0000 UTC
do the practice tests, come to the extra help sessions. the homework is a big help with what is to come one the weekly quizzes which make up the grade. pretty easyMTHU341 2005-07-11 09:23:20 +0000 UTC
Jekel is the man. He gives clear examples to illustrate the meanings of his lessons. Differential equations was a quiz usually every two weeks and one final. The quizzes are very fair. Great teacher.MTHU343 2005-03-31 01:03:06 +0000 UTC
Umm, a freakin' tool. Easy though, very easy. Spends most time on things that need no explaining.MTH170 2005-02-01 16:22:04 +0000 UTC
interested in learning math? take his class. very nice person, and will help you any time. one of the most efficient teachers. no ****.DIFFEQ 2004-12-06 17:49:51 +0000 UTC
He is one of those teachers who is too smart that he cant teach it to you. He goes off on his tangents, figuring out math problems on the board and no one has any idea what he's talking about. Overall, he might know the material, but he isn't good at teaching it to others.MTHU121 2004-11-30 19:48:06 +0000 UTC
The stereotypical "absent-minded professor." He's a bloody genius when it comes to math, but tends to make mistakes while teaching class. VERY VERY helpful during office hours. Class moves at the pace of the slowest student, which is great. I love this guy to death. Very sharp dresser, too!SEVERAL 2004-11-29 13:27:06 +0000 UTC
i was very interested in taking differential equations before this class but lost interest soon after the class got in depth because i really could not understand the techniques used, how they were derived or their purpose. the professor is generally unclearMTH343QUOTDI 2004-11-15 18:53:28 +0000 UTC
