Awesome teacher! Keeps math class interesting, and wants everyone to succeed. I had him for Mat1150, and I honestly find myself referring to his video lectures on his YouTube page somewhat frequently! His office hours are accommodating, and it is very easy to get feedback from him. Attendance is important.

Enjoyed my Calculus II class with him, especially his Maths jokes. He's a fair grader and understanding person, but as in every Maths class, you need to work to get a good grade.

He is the best math professor at occ. He has previous semester exams on D2L, and posts the exams taken throughout the semester. 5 exams and he drops one lowest exam, about three in class assignments and extra credit opportunities. His final is accumulative but he prepares you thoroughly for it throughout the semester. His lectures are amazing.

Honestly the best professor i have ever had. He really makes the material super easy and goes over problems step by step. Homework and old exams that he posts on D2L are very helpful to prepare you for the exams. Never hesitate to take him! Definitely easy A

Professor Parent is amazing! Math is a hard subject for some, but he makes it super fun and easy to learn. He even makes YouTube videos of his lectures, so if you miss a day all you have to do is know what section you missed and his videos are just like sitting in class. He tests often, but on smaller subject material. Excellent professor!

He is the best math teacher I have ever had, he makes it really easy to understand the concepts and he is really accessible. He has youtube videos for nearly every math class and that is the only reason I was able to pass a class I did not take with him. Really nice person and just a all around amazing teacher. Highly recommend taking his class.

Jeff Parent is by far one of the best math teachers . He uses content from all over, making the math more adaptable and easier to understand. If you are a student that is brand new to math or haven't math in a while, Professor Jeff Parent is highly recommended.

It seriously just didnt make any sense. He was gone for over two weeks cumalitive. I didnt understand what the sub was teaching- and he didnt explain it when he got back we were tested on it. He doesnt grade clearly even if you add test points up they dont match up. Also he made you feel stupid if you couldnt understand.

Jeff is an amazing math teacher! At first I was intimidated because he would call on me in class every week when I didnt want to be called on. But I realized he wants everyone to participate and to make sure everyone understands what is happening. He knows his math and really cares about making sure you succeed.

One of the best math instructors!! The lectures were very clear and organized, so easy to follow, and some spots for some jokes and funny videos, in orded to make the lecture lighter! I took calc1 with him after years of break from math, but he refreshed all my math memory and I was able to follow!Ended up getting one of the highest grade in class
