The best math professor I have ever had. His exams can be challenging, but if you work hard you can easily make it. Talking to him about how to improve your performance in class helps a lot. Take him if you can

One of the best math profs. The class is good but can be boring sometimes. The tests can be challenging but if you find the right way of studying you are set for an A. Talking to him is very helpful too because he can give you tips on how to do well in his class.

Great professor. Really eager to help and give explanations to your questions. Goes into some detail about the subject, but not too much. Gives exactly what is expected on a test, if you know all of that material, you'll be set.

Comment:

My favorite prof of my first semester. Not only does he know what he is doing, but he is very good at communicating it to his students. Homework and tests were challenging, but not impossible by any means. Put in the work, and Jager will help you land a good grade. I highly recommend him for Calc 2, or any other math course.

Comment:

I didn't really know much about the topics of this course previously, but this seems to be Jager's specialty. He will help you if you need. Lectures are always useful and there is daily homework. Tests aren't easy or hard but the final was quite difficult.

Comment:

He is one of the better math profs at Calvin. He helps you prepare well for tets and his tests aren't too bad. His lectures can be kind of boring and he tends to speak in a monotonous tone. He's overall good and he tests you on what he taught and on the homework completed.
