Not a hard class to pass with an A or B, but you need to study. This is not an easy class, and he has a full agenda to cover in the time allowed. He uses every minute to teach. If you don't understand something, just tell him and he goes over it more thoroughly. Good teacher. Take him to learn.

Do not bother telling him anything, he does not care and will not five extra credit.

Mr. Alfonso is one of the greatest teachers I've had at Miami Dade. He is a super genuine guy and really likes to work with you and teach. The class isn't for slackers.You have to work and know your stuff on test day. But nonetheless, you'll learn the material.I got an A in the class, but I worked for it.Don't be discouraged!

This professor is absolutely amazing. He is clear & organized and makes math easy to understand. All you have to do is take notes (which he send you on Angel) and attend every class. There are 4 tests, some quizzes, and hw for each lesson. The tests are made out of the problems from the hw and quizzes, do them all and I guarantee you'll get an A!

Would take again

Would honestly take any class he teaches. His lectures are long but super helpful, tests are based off of the homeworks. An amazing professor that actually cares for his students. His online course only has 2 proctored quizzes out of 7. I cant say enough good things about him. TAKE HIM, I passed and I suck at math.
