Comment:
Calc II is DIFFICULT but Proff. C. makes it seem like tying shoe laces. He is extremely organized and explains the material in the clearest way possible. I've never came across a better professor. Powerpoints (along with notes he wrote in class) were always on Bb. He also has a website with past exams, which is so helpful! Overall, amazing prof.!

Comment:
I had him for Calc I and II, and honestly is my favorite professor at UIC. If I didn't change my major I would take him again for Calc III. He's willing to help you understand the material, but he makes you work for your grade. If you put in the effort to learn the subject, then you should do good.

Calculus is a tough subject at UIC, but Cabrera made it easier. He is clear and detailed in his lectures. He also gives you all the resources to succeed in his class. The best calculus professor at UIC.

Comment:
Calculus II is crazy hard at UIC. Actually the entire math department is. I think Professor Cabrera is probably the best math professor at UIC. Be prepared to work because an A is not going to come by just doing the homework. Use mymathlab and practice tests. Cabrera will give you all the tools necessary to succeed.

Comment:
He's a wonderful professor who is very clear and has a great sense of humor. He's very approachable and asks the class what it wants to do if there is extra time. He's very down to earth, but still respectable, which is a balance many professors struggle to balance. He likes to demonstrate real life applications of the calculus he is teaching.

Cabrera really knows how to teach in clear and concise way. He always explains himself and goes through plenty of examples of each problem. The tests are hard, the best way to study is to go through past exams on his website. He's the only math teacher worth having.

Comment:
Professor Cabrera makes calculus a bit easier to understand by making the material and concepts clearer. During class, he walks you through example problems. And, if you ask for help on the homework, he'll most likely give you the answers, explaining the concepts and methods to get through them.

Cabrera is the best Calc professor UIC currently has. Period. Puts up everything on BlackBoard (including lecture slides), explains very well, systematic method of teaching, reviews before exams, and best of all he's easy to approach.

Professor: - Knows exactly how to explain things - Best professor for Calculus (Kobotis is the next best) - Go to lecture and you will never have to read the book (despite the fact that he will ask you to..) Class: - First year w the calcs being restructured, it's very easy now - Be sure to remember the material from calc 1

Calc 2 starts off tough and only gets more difficult from there, but with Cabrera teaching, this class was a breeze for me. If you do struggle he's also always willing to help. Prepares you well for the midterms and final. Also a pretty funny dude and keeps lectures interesting. Makes sure everyone understands before moving on. Awesome professor.

Cabrera is an awesome professor. I took him for Calc2 math 181.. Math isn't easy nor comes naturally for everyone. He doesn't mind taking time out in lecture to review for the exams or to explain hw. He always tries to make the lecture clear so you could understand. He answered any and all questions no matter how small or silly. He's really nice.

He's the best math 180 and 181 professor at UIC. He's clear and if you go talk to him, he will help you and make you understand it. If you have a chance, TAKE his class.

Probably the best professor UIC has to offer. Was always easy to pay attention to, very helpful, explained things clearly, and would do his best to help you understand the material. Take him for any math course that he's available in.

Great teacher and actually teaches. I wished we had online HW instead of hand written. I just wished the final wasn't so harsh, but it's the math department so I can't blame him.
