Reviews of professor Jay Barraza

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Barraza is a great professor. Overall he's a super chill guy and young so he's also relatable. He's lenient on homework and other assignments, plus I liked that he gave us the tools to succeed and let us work by ourselves. He consistently asked the class if we had questions, willing to help his students out if we needed it.

The math department at GCU is already pretty shaky. If you are willing to work and show up, he is incredibly helpful if you ask but you will have to figure some stuff out for yourself. If you can do that you'll be a-okay.

Hes a smart man but also expects his students to be smart too. Hes very unprofessional, and simply has no concern or emotion for his students. He arrives sometimes 30 minutes late, grades right before grades are do, and listens to music during lecture. Hes very young and it shows through his teaching. If you struggle with math, dont take him.

Although his lectures are super long and at times can get boring, what he does that a lot of other math teachers that I have had never do is really elaborate and show their students very step to every type of problem. He set everyone up to succeed, as a professor should. Workload is not overwhelming and is manageable. He allows time for homework.

Jay explained the concepts really well and answered questions when asked. Most importantly, he went over multiple examples, solving them completely, so that the students would understand the concepts.

Honestly, I suck at math and he made it much easier for me. You can also see him outside of class and he is a great help. He truly cares about his students and you can see that. I would have him as a professor again for sure.

I enjoyed having Professor Barraza as a teacher because he is very straightforward with how to be successful in the class. The lectures are simple and easy to follow. Make sure to do your homework because that's where majority of your grade comes from.

Professor Barraza is my favorite professor that I've had at GCU so far! He truly cares about the success of his students and he will work with you to help you achieve the grade that you want. He is so helpful and is always available to answer questions outside of class. I would very highly recommend him to anyone taking MAT274!
