  Going beyond the simplified gluonic cascades, we introduce both gluon and
quark degrees of freedom for partonic cascades inside the medium. We then solve
the set of coupled evolution equations numerically with splitting kernels
calculated for static, exponential, and Bjorken expanding media to arrive at
medium-modified parton spectra for quark and gluon initiated jets. Using these,
we calculate the inclusive jet $R_{AA}$ where the phenomenologically driven
combinations of quark and gluon jet fractions are included. Then, the rapidity
dependence of the jet $R_{AA}$ is examined. We also study the path-length
dependence of jet quenching for different types of expanding media by
calculating the jet $v_2$. Additionally, we study the sensitivity of
observables on effects from nuclear modification of parton distribution
functions, vacuum-like emissions in the plasma, and the time of the onset of
the quenching. All calculations are compared with recently measured data.
