Comment:

This is not my least favorite professor but he does not teach the material. He expects you to know what he is talking about after hearing the material once. A lot of tests. Questions are hard on them and he grades them even harder.

Comment:

There are class assignments along with 6 tests. Testing time is 30 minutes. He lectures a little then does an example problem or two that will take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour each. He gives suggested homework to do and doing this with the help of Chegg is the only reason I passed. Labs usually take 2 hours at the max. Exams open book/notes.

Comment:

Read the book & teach yourself. His lecture is straight out of the book, his examples are chapter problems, and his tests reflect those but harder . DO the suggested HW probs in his syllabus. We got to use textbook & notes for quizzes. He gives in-class hw probs for grade. Isnt very clear on grading & rarely gives points back if he made a mistake

He really is due for retirement. Don't Expect a single coherent lecture. Show up to class for his random in class assignments. He regularly makes mistakes in his calculations and has no organization to his lectures. Honestly I would avoid him.

Comment:

I think he was a good teacher and cared about all of our success. Graded on quizzes and tests only, he does give us chances to improve our quiz score by doing bonus quizzes toward end of semester. Also final project in class, but was pretty easy and he helps if you ask. Put in effort, you'll be fine

Comment:

Dr. Jabarri is an alright teacher. The tests are very similar to the homework and each test has a take home component. He is most always there to help outside of class. I only wish he had collected homework, I tend not to do it if its not graded.

Comment:

I noticed that no one posted about him teaching thermo I. He opened the first day of class by saying he hadn't taught Thermo in many years...and it showed throughout the semester. Struggled many times with problems on the board and even tried to pull a fast one on us just to finish the problem. But I was like "you can't do that buddy."

Comment:

Easiest engineering professor at SVSU. He is somewhat helpful, but gets annoyed if you frequently interupt his internet usage. You probably aren't cut out to be an engineer if you can't pass his classes the first time.

Comment:

Good profesor I dont know what everyone is talking about. He keeps examples on hand in the libary copy and study. You would have to be a moron not to pass with a C or better. He does not mind helping you a few times,and dont make it a habbit before a test

His format is easy. But learn for examples only and study how to work problems. Get familiar with the word etch.

There is a select group of people who have taken all his classes twice. Get on his good side. By the way it is pronounced h, not etch!
