Comment:

I've never seen such a condescending and hateful professor in my entire life. The course consisted of four pages of notes with AUDIO-only lectures. The exam was worth 60% of the final grade where close to every student failed. Any emails to him will without a doubt get you no answers and a spiteful reply. All his students deserve refunds.

hardest class I've taken. With online learning he only posted audio lectures with NO video. The audio was very long and hard to follow. Very short and hard tests every Friday. Unclear with what he wants. I would have the answer right with full workings and would receive no points. I had to drop the course due to the amount of stress

Comment:

Dr Suvak definitely makes you work to succeed. If you show that you want to succeed, he is extremely helpful and goes above and beyond. Be prepared for dry audio lectures and lengthy notes. The course content itself is not too hard but you definitely need to study and do the worksheets in order to do well.

He is terrible at online teaching, all lectures are audio-only. You can not see him interacting with the notes at all. He makes it pretty clear that he does no enjoy teaching lower level math by constantly using terms like obviously in his lectures when the information is not obvious.

Dr. Suvak is a horrible professor, this man doesn't care about the well being of his students at all. A peice of advise for students taking this course, expect absolutely zero guidance and zero effort on Dr. Suvak's be half to teach you. This man's heart is black towards students. Good luck students and don't give up no matter what Dr. Suvak says.

Suvak is one of the worst profs I have EVER had. The material isn't too difficult, but he makes it more difficult on the students. Learning online is hard enough as it is but he makes it even harder. His teaching consists of notes not explaining anything, then he posts a voice recording reading the notes word for word. He doesn't explain anything.

Do not take Jack Suvak's 1050 Math course he takes an easy course and makes it supper complicated. Not only does he not teach the course his notes are even worse. When emailing Suvak his responses are very rude and unhelpful. He also does not allow students to use their accommodations.

When I say avoid Suvak at all costs, I MEAN IT. Choose a good professor over easy course content. Suvak is a horrible prof and human being. He is inconsiderate, ableist, merciless and hateful. Almost all of our class failed his exam which he made mandatory to pass to pass the course. And it was worth 60%. He wants you to fail. Will not help you.

If I could literally give him a 0/5 rating I would. The worst prof I have ever had, he is sexist and cruel to students. I heard a story he stapled a McDonald's resume to a test a student failed one year. There is no point in emailing him for help because he will just tell you to stop emailing and find it yourself. Very condescending person. -5/10

I literally cannot stress enough not to take this prof. His online method of teaching is useless, he provides absolutely nothing to the course besides a voice reading the notes. The notes don't explain why anything is the way it is, just gives you the answers and your left to figure it out on your own. WORST prof I have had.

I hate giving bad reviews, especially since prof's are also adjusting to the covid new normal, but do NOT take him for this course. Idk if he is better in person, but all he does is read the notes and with the material covered it is so hard to follow along. He is great at answering emails though when I had questions. He made an easy course, hard.

He is by far the worst prof I have ever had. Giving your students pre-made notes with AUDIO lectures giving 0 extra info does not cut it. I'm surprised this man still has his job. I've checked my quizzes and I've actually gotten 2/10 when the workings on the answer key were the same as mine. Save yourself the stress and pick anyone else but him.

Probably the worst teacher I've ever had, h when students had issues with submitting test he told us he just wouldn't grade them if they weren't in the right format while only giving us an extra 5 minutes to submit it, he has said to not contact him through brightside and only posts the notes I have not learned anything.

Worst prof ever, he just reads notes word for word and I find myself having to search up the theories on my own because he skips key parts of them. Never ever take him.

I find online classes hard when it comes to math. Last semester in 1090 my prof posted video lectures online. However, with Mr. Suvak, all you get are course notes and audio recordings of him reading them word for word with no extra info, and practice worksheets with answers but no workings to show how to get the answer. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

Easily the worst prof i've ever had. Not only are his lectures horrible as he writes everything tiny on a chalk board, he is also easily the rudest and most condescending man I have met. If you want to pass, buy the notes from the tutor company.

People give Suvak way too hard of a time on here. While he can be blatantly condescending at times, he's normally pretty level-headed and entertaining the rest of the time.

I have never had such a horrible professor. He has no issue berating and embarrassing his students in front of the class if they don't understand the material and he does not encourage you to do better, rather he tells you to drop his course. I have yet to speak to one person who has had good things to say about him. No idea how he still has a job.

every class all he does is write on chalkboard (EXTREMELY small font)after class I asked if he can write a little bigger as everyone around me was using their phone camera to zoom on the board.. his response "no. your just gonna have to get a seat in the front" I have perfect vision.. he doesn't care about your education or if you pass his class.
