Very good teacher. Explains good, but hard to understand due to his accent.
No Comments
Very good professor! He explains good, but his accent its a bit hard to understand. I failed his class due to the fact that I took him for Summer, but I would take him for Fall if I had too! The only good thing about him is that he is kinda cute!
He has a bad accent and has kinda of an attitude problem.
I understand his accent perfeclty, and he explain very well. He takes his time to make sure he answer every questions. His attitude is well deserved because some students really exagerate sometimes.I was bad in math, I had a A in his first test.
He is a great professor! A very, sweet, wonderful person. He always finds ways to help us if we don't seem to understand. He goes through the chapters slowly, so we can comprehend the lesson.He always has a positive attitude, and makes us feel great that we can succeed in life.I highly recommend him
WoW he is a wonderful Professor and very nice. I couldnt ask for a better math Professor and besides being nice hes very helpful.
Nice Guy. Good Tecahing style. Very understanding helps you out alot.
very clear, what he teaches in class is what is on test...attend class and do homeworks and you should be fine...i got an A
He is the best prof I've ever had for math. He never gets mad, and KNOWS how to teach, plus he is an extremely nice person and very helpful. Take him! He is one of a kind.
he is great
Whoever wrote that he has a bad accent is an ignorant fool. He speaks clearly and is very articultate. He's an all around nice guy and makes learning the material easy. P.S. His homework is online.
WARNING!EVENTHOU HE HELPS U IN EVERYWAY HE CAN, IT HAS TO BE IN HIS OFFICE, NOT IN CLASS, MAY B SOMETIMES HE GOES OVER ANY PROBLEMS U HAVE ABOUT THE HW OR TESTS,AND NOT AN EASY CLASS, U REALLY NEED TO BE A MATHEMATIC GENIOUS TO PASS HIS CLASS OR A NERD.OTHER WORDS,"NOT HAVE A LIFE"JUST MATH
i thought he was great....very clear, material he teaches is what is on his exams, very fair, very helpful....highly recomend....i wouldnt call myself a math genious and i got an A...
He should slightly improve his teaching methods. He rushes through lectures just to meet his schedule. Very little clarity in his lectures. If it wasn't for my extra dedicated time, I wouldn't be passing the class with a B!
he i sthe BEST! i had taken algebra twice before, withdrew the first time, failed the second and i thought it was me... it wasn't. the teacher makes all the difference because i passed the class with a very high B.. He just Kicks Ass!! :O)
Overall very good teacher. He's extremly clear and very helpful....
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.
Great professor... His lectures are very helpful and his tests are pretty ease if you put in the work. The only problem that most people (myself included) seem to have with him is that he is VERY fast passed, and his homework assignments are online.
he is the best teacher i ever met in my life. he's very easy and nice. i passed his class with an high c. i never missed his class because he's very intresting. i wish he'll be my teacher in every class.
He is great
Very understanding and very clear in his lessons...
great professor. He is the best.
i dont think he takes time the time to explain exercises
The class is simple and he's nice.
very smart and a good teacher, he explains in a way where you can understand and is very patient, not very serious, funny, understanding, i highly recomended..always willing to help.
honestly not good at all, will not help you and if you need a couple of points will not give them to you, tryly not understandable would seriously not recommend him.
Great professor, teaches lessons step by step and very clear, is a great person as well
He's a good teacher. He clearly explains the material and you always know what the test will be on. The one thing I didn't like is that all of his homework need to be done online which can be very incovenient. Also he could use a class structure that allows for more student questions.
He is a great teacher, always willing to help and explains until you understand. he is organized, his tests are easy, the homework is easy and helpful and he is really patient he is the one of the nicest teachers ive met!!! Highly recommend him!!!!
GREAT TEACHER. Never thought i would do good in a mth class
I DREADED MATH BUT HE MADE IT SO EASY. I HAVE NEVER HAD A MATH TEACHER WHO WAS THIS GOOD IN MY ENTIRE SCHOOL LIFE. HE MADE THE WORK SO CLEAR AND WORKED EVERYTHING UNTIL IT WAS UNDERSTOOD. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO BE IN THAT CLASS AND DID SCORE A 90 OR ABOVE ON EVERY TEST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.MATH IS ALWAYS BORING BUT HE MADE IT MORE BEARABL
Excellent teacher, highly recomended
He's a great professor and a wonderful person!!! He's responsible, he's always willing to help you during class and office hours!! He's funny,makes the class good and he's extremely patient, never once got mad!! Best part is he does frequent testing and they're easy so u have plenty of chances to get a good grade!!u don;t even have to buy the book
he's such a nice & caring man! i thought the class was easy but if you have any doubts in anything he will help you until you understand the material! take his class.. i highly recommend him!
I dont know hes a wonderful person but yet he gave no reviews for test, no extra credit and if you dont show exact work on test you get no credit for it :( He goes pretty fast as well.
He was OK at explaining things, but gave no reviews before the test. He goes through material quickley, and the tests are hard. also, if you dont show ALL the work, he doesnt give you credit, even if u know what your doing and got the answer right.( i got a lot of bad test scores because of that) he's not very helpful..
good at explaining...allof the homework is done online, you only need the book to get the code out of it, i didnt really use it at all. yeah he goes fast but he explains well, just pay attention and you'll do fine. oh yeah and he hates cell phones in his class, he goes nuts if it goes off.
He explains until you get the material crysta clear. He makes the class interesting and is always available during his office hourse and after class to help you. You do have to study for his tests and do the online homework. IF you want an easy grade this class is not for you.. But then again what do you expect if you are going to take Calc!
I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD MATH BEFORE. NEVER THE LESS GOT A B IN A MATH CLAS. HE IS WONDERFUL. EXPLAINS VERY WELL AND IS ALWAYS ASKING IF U A QUESTION. THE MATERIAL IS VERY SIMPLE. U DONT NEED THE BOOK IF U BUY AN ONLINE CODE FOR THE HOMEWORK.
Amazing teacher! He is very patient and understanding and TRULY understands math. He explains it in a noncomplicated way and will keep going over a problem until everyone understands. Isn't a bully like some teachers and has a great intentions on making sure everyone passes and is understanding the material. Great Professor...HIGHLY RECOMEND HIM!
He is a great professor! . He goes through the chapters slowly, so we can comprehend the lesson. VERY Positive person, very motiviting. This guy made math all the more intersting then before God bless that man. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IF YOU NEED TO LEARN MATH AT ANY LEVEL THIS MAN IS RIGHT FOR THE JOB!!!!!!
awesome professor
I only went to class on test days and you do all the homework online and it is the same stuff as on the test. he is very willing to help students understand and he is never absent.
Great teacher! I highly recomend taking him. He teaches straight from the book. His tests are easy! The homework is a grade booster. Very nice and intelligent man who wants everyone to pass. He makes the class as easy as it can get. Take him!
Excellent teacher!Very clear, helpful, honest. I got a B and i hate math! Take him if you want to do good on this class. Attendance is mandatory and all the homework is online! He gives enough extra credit to get a positive grade and there are 6 tests during the term. Highly recommended.
Fantastic professor! He gives great notes, does examples, and everything is crystal clear. He is always willing to help you or asnwer any questions.For the summer term there were 4 tests and an optional final exam. All you have to do is study your online HW and notes. This is the fist time I get an A in Math! Take him!!!
His the Best teacher ive ever had! he is super clear, explains everything. I got a B in his class and i hate math, i havent gotten a B in math since elementary school. Super helpful, super patient! hands down the best math professor in Miami Dade! take him! you'll actually learn something!
AWESOME TEACHER!!! THE BEST MATH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. i got an A in his class. he is super easy to understand and is very helpful. I RECOMMEND HIM!! YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED.
Take this class! He is so easy. He really wants everyone to pass his class. No need to buy the book. Homework is done online.
Well, i have to say he's a really good teacher cuz he knows the materials real well. But if you're someone who just want to get an easy A then he might not be it for you. He's not that easy. I remember starting this class with about 30 people in the class, about 15 stick to the end. If you're good at math, he'll be good for you.
Excellent teacher, really clear and fair. Highly recommended.
well i just had to drop his class.. his test are pretty much what he teaches in class but a little harder.. i personally suck in math and i failed two test even though i studied my butt off.. just check his test schedules and how much he is putting on the test! which i think in my opinoion is too much!. so.. it depends if you are really good in mat
good teacher.
This guy is just great
He explains things well, but fast. Hes always there on time and doesn't like to miss anything. Hes strict but fair. As long as you show up to class and do the homework, the test shouldn't be to hard. He keeps them at about 20 questions and the final is optional. The homework is all online which is lame but gives 15% of your grade n the rest is test
i think so far the professor is o.k. Im taking his course online and he is kind of understanding. we dont do dissusions so if you are not good at math please dont take this course online. but if you feel as though you can handle it then fine. he not to inactive so you are pretty much on your own. but i would recommend his class to math heads
Took the online class and it was awful. He had family issues and there was no way to get in contact with him for three weeks. The homework didn?t match up with the tests at all but the practice exams were exactly like the test so if make sure you go over them really well. Also the discussions are useless, so go to the lab to study! Truly horrible!
Took the online class which was terrible. Doesn't "teach" anything. He takes forever to respond to any questions, and if you're lucky he'll answer all of them at once. He also is bad at posting assignments around exam time, so it meant for a terrible crunch time when I had already planned a schedule out for myself.
Very good professor. Not an easy A...you will have to study. He gave us a TAKE HOME TEST, 10 FREE POINTS on the last test, The homework is online and you can do it until you get it right. And his final is optional, and replaces your lowest grade!!! Take him and go to his office often...he will help you pass this class...I got an A!
no need to buy the text book because all homework is online. good teacher explains things well, doesn't give any extra credit or reviews for test. not an esay A but it's definitely do-able.
Def. the best math professor i've ever had! Took him for MAT0020,MAT1033,&MGF1106. Knows how 2 teach & its very easy to understand him. Goes step by step & makes sure dat every1 understands. Will gladly go over things if u have any questions. Online homeworks help out A LOT. Tests r usually 20 ?s; not difficult, taken 4rm homeworks. Dont buy book.
horrible i took precalc with trig together with him and he was lost some times, the test are way to hard even you do hw you wont pass the test unless you have a very very strong math background i mean u have to be super good, well i do not recommend him to take him for this class because the class itself its hard and condense and with him it get wo
YEA RIGHT, THIS TEACHER IS A WASTE OF TIME, Skips many steps, thinks you know all the material. HOMEWORK AHHAHA, example 8.1-8.8, each section has minimum between 20 and 40 questions, each question has minimum 3 -10 parts, this is wack you dont get enough time to do homeworks and study, test are extremly hard no multiple choice.
this proffesor explain very good but he doesnt realize that his test are extremely hard and is by time, 15 superhard question in 1 hour.If you dont know math dont take him at all. you will FAIL THE CLASS.
great teacher. ypu really dont have to show up to class and test are very easy
Good professor! He explains things really well and answers questions about hw. All hw due the day before the test. Really easy tests, 20 questions max. I liked this class and wished he taught pre-cal/trig honors!
Professor Alfonso, thank you for curving my grade!! I got an A in this class, and last time I got an 89/100 on a class I got a B instead.. that was nice of you. I took this class online and I did not have any problem with him, and whoever complained about homework, that is how you study, practice and get prepared for your tests!!
I took him for mat1033 and mac 1105 because he was a good teacher. He answers all your questions and doesn't mind going over the material until you got it. Kind of a lot of hw for some sections but the tests are practically identical to the hw and you can use a calculator. i would take him again if he taught higher course.
He's an 'alright' teacher, he explains things clearly but be sure you pay attention if you aren't good in math... there's a lot of notes to take and lots of homework.
ARE THE ONLINE CLASSES PROCTORED OR ONLINE??
awesome teacher. explains everything in class but everything is online. just buy the code for coursecompass.com and you have everything. helpfull and goes over everything.
Really nice teacher, he goes over the material, hes helpful. His h.w is online which was a good thing for me. I recommend him as a teacher.Hes also goodlooking.
Great Professor. I took his virtual course which is composed of about 5 or 6 quizzes(if im not mistaken) and proctored midterm and final of 20 questions. He is helpful & you do have to read through the book to understand the material but it really is too easy.
Currently taking online. You must purchase a mathlab code $75. No book. He has discussion ?'s for each section that he never responds to, grades, or even give the answers to. He rarely responds to emails. Voicemail always full. He doesnt post the HW on time. I think i will pass his class because the work is easy. You will basically teach yourself!
hes a good teacher!! your homework is like 40% of your grade and you must do it!!you have 4 tests and a final too but its not mandatory!! he barley responds to emails and his voicemail is always full!!! but hes good
This Prof is never available to for questions or concerns. He respont to e-mail 4 days after. if you have a question about the material it will be faster to call one of your peers. He staid in the course syllabus he is available by appointment only, but that not true because I try many time to get an appoinment and he never gave me one.Good luck
He is a great teacher. He answers all questions in class and repeats as much as you need it. Ask questions in class though not through email. His HW (online) is just like the tests and he lets you use a calculater. He is very helpful you just have to ask.
Prof. Alfonso is very professional, dedicated and helpful. I got a B but I am satisfied because my grade corresponds with the time and effort I put into ii(not a lot though). Always answered emails fast and clarified all questions accurately. Only 5 quizzes and 2 proctored exams through out the course. I strongly recommend him.
Not very helpful and communication is like 4 days later. In addition, If u have a high "B" he will not curve it to an "A" even though the High "B" was the top average in the class. That is a disgrace and let him know about it.
I took a blended course and I love doing hw online because it's faster and harder to fall asleep because you are motivated to keep going because your grade for the class is automatically updated with the progress of your hw on pearson. buy the code, and study his notes. Tests are most of the time even easier than the HW, but don't trust. STUDY! :)
Great professor! I took this class online and he was very responsive when I asked him a question. A lot of homework and a total of 7 quizzes. The final exam was at the Kendall campus (long drive for me) but it was exactly as the review tests. Great professor
Too take this class you have to honestly have to ask yourself, am i strong enough in math to take a virtual/blended class. if your not then you should consider taking a physical class where you show up. Other then that he is a good teacher that is helpful through email.
I absolutely do not have any interest in math.This teacher has made it easy to understand and a great experience! It was easy and that is not something I can say about math. I wish he can teach all my math classes.
He is a great professor for online courses! He responds to your emails quick and he helps you in whatever you need. He gives alot of homework but he also puts up practice tests which are exactly like the actual test. Final was multiple choice. If you need a good professor for understanding the material and passing the exit exam he is the one!
Wonderful man. Will help you with every questions. He gives you a lot of hw but the tests are easier than the hw. Super nice and cares for his students.
I hate math but this teacher made his class clear. He is very helpful and answers e-mails quickly. If you have any questions he doesn't hesitate to help. Deff recommend him. Taking his class now online!
Best math professor I've had in my life. I scored a 97 out of 100 in the course. He always had time to explain even the dumbest questions I could have. 5/5
He's pretty clear and can teach. However his blended class is a lot of do it on your own. Unless your a math whiz stay away from the blended. I'd take him again in a normal format.
He's very good. Honestly, for a blended course, this class might be quite a challenge, but this prof is quite awesome. A lot of hw, he drops the five lowest grades. 13 quizzes, he drops the 3 lowest. And 6 tests, 3 face-to-face, 3 online. U even have the chance to take an optional final to drop the lowest grade from ur face-to-face exams. Take him!
Very good professor! You should definitely take him. You will be doing a lot of work in this class, but nothing too hard.
Do not take this blended course with this professor, he only teaches half of the material and the other half you have to learn by yourself. And he does not teach well.
The worse teacher ever! If you want to earn a B or an A you must hire a math tutor. Stay away from this instructor. I took him last semester and I along with four of my friends ended up with a big "C", after spending more than 10 hours in the math lab. 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! Take it with him!
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!
Professor Alfonso is AMAZING!! I took him for MAC1105 and MAC1147. I really recommended him! He is super helpful, very nice and he cares for his students. His exams have the same type of problems that are on the homework. Of course you have to study but if you study his notes you will be fine. I wish he was teaching calculus 1 next semester.
He takes his time to explain, makes sure you understand. He teaches and makes you understand the why of everything. best Math professor.
Good teacher, he is never late.
He is very fair and will teach everything you will have in the test, there will be no surprises. I am not good in math and managed to pass with a B. He gave 10 points extra credit and was fair in all things, don't expect an easy ride or special treatment. He makes you work for your grade.
He is a very great professor! He is always there when you ask for help! He does his best to help you! I would so recommend him! Take him!
I'm not sure if the fact that the course was online made it more difficult to contact the professor, but he doesn't message back on discussion boards or in the email. Otherwise, his course is pretty clear cut. I just wish he communicated better with the students.
His the best professor I have ever taken in mdc . Always on time and most importantly never misses . He always updates you with your grades and always there when you need him to explain. Everyone should take him his just excellent professor truly learned and understand without a problem the curriculum
This class is mostly taken online (tests & homework) so he never lectures. He is a nice guy, he doesn't hold your attendance against you.
Pretty simple class, if you're taken the online class he does NOT teach. BUT if you have any questions he's 100% there for you. I suck at math and i passed the class.
World's greatest teacher!
Prof. Alfonso helps each of his students with the online program. You will have to access it nearly everyday and must do work on time or you'll fall behind. Never had a great math background and I passed due to the program and his help. Must Take MAT0028 and MAT1003 With Him!
I took Prof. Alfonso for the accelerated Math course for those majors that require more liberal and stats paved careers. This course was 8wks and even though it was a short amount of time for how much work given... HE TAUGHT AMAZING! HE CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS AND IS VERY PATIENT AND WILL GO OVER PROBLEMS IN CLASS MULTIPLE TIMES! AWESOME TEACHER!
I'm not bad at math, but I lack patience for it, which makes me a difficult student. Professor Alonso took my challenging energy in stride, and kept me engaged . When I really didn't understand a concept, he found several approaches to help me get it. For the first time in my life, with his instruction, I passed a math class with an A.
Proffesor is not bad. You just need to complete your hw on connect math and complete the tests for each chapter but other than that its a passable grade you can get with him.
If you want to fail or ruin your GPA take this class, too much work, teacher has awful English, makes it harder than what it is. I would much rather having a chimp teach me this course than him.
I took him for Mat 1033 at MDC Kendall . We used ALEKS. If you do the Homework and Practice Quiz, you will get an A in his class! He grabs about 15 questions from the 40 questions Practice quiz for each test ( 4 Tests + optional Final to drop lowest grade). He doesn't lecture, it's mostly web based, show up to class to work on the computer.
Professor Alfonso is great, this class was mainly online but we had to show up in class to participate. He doesn't lecture, and expects you to learn from the ALEKS system. But he is eager to answer ANY question and he really makes sure to help you progress and learn. He wants every to pass and will make sure you get everything done. Great person!
I just finished MGF 1107 with this professor and he was amazing. Honestly there were 4 tests and 1 optional final exam. There are also easy quizzes ONLINE. The professor gives you some easy homework to do online and that really will help you pass the class. STUDY FROM THE HOMEWORK!! Great teacher and great person.. Would definitely take again!
must do homework and LOTS of it! Tests are hard but thats just math, his lessons are boring and sometimes confusing he moves too quick. not recommended
I have A in his class. But I do not have nothing good to say about him. He never has answered me any email and never helpe me with a single exercise
Online course with lots of homework, 6 quizzes midterm and final
He is a nice professor, explains really well, his class is easy, though you have to do the homework and cannot miss the online quizzes.
Best math teacher Ive ever had hands down. Most math teachers Ive come across with are very boring and unapproachable. This guy is the complete opposite. His lectures are very clear and precise while being fun at the same time. Hes also extremely organized and really shows that he wants his students to learn.
Great lecturer. He makes the class very interesting. He gives you amazing notes for the hw that are posted online. Quizzes and one test are online so thats very easy. He sometimes can't cover all the material and it will spill over to other classes. Only negative is that its almost impossible to reach him outside of class.
im took this professor in a mini term and i thought he was amazing. This is the second time im taking MGF1107 and he definitely made the material so easy to learn and did a great job explaining everything. Hes very kind & takes the time to explain things in detail! The hw, quizzes & tests arent hard as long as you study. I definitely recommend!
Professor Alfonso is GREAT. I normally have a hard time in math classes, however with him this class has been super easy. He is great explaining, and will go all the way to help... show up, practice with hw, and you will 100% pass. Textbook is not mandatory, you will only need to purchase the acces code, and thats it. AMAZING PROFESSOR 100%.
10/10 IGN
There are 4 tests , 10 online quizzes counted (13 to take but he drop 3 of the lowest ones) , a optional final and a hw assignment per topic/lesson , for the blended class due dates for quizzes and hw are strict , for quizzes you only have 24hrs to open it and complete it , but he knows what he is doing and he is good
I took the blended class where I'm supposed to teach myself half of the content but he still made the effort to explain every chapter the most he could. He drops the 3 lowest quizzes and replaces the lowest test grade with the final. Explanations are very clear tests are straight forward. One of the best math professors I've taken
I believe his class was one of the easiest ones I had this fall semester. My class was blended but he tried to explain all the sections the best he could. Do not, I repeat, do not buy the book! You will not need it for his class. Just get the access code to do your hw. There were 4 exams total (no midterm, no final) and the third exam was online.
Counts an online day as attendance if you do your weekly quiz. He is nice but he is boring. Also his tests had material that we did not even study. I understand it was a blended course but you should go over the at home material because online textbooks arent the best at explaining.
Took him for MGF 1106 and 1107; Lots of MyMathLab HW but helps your grade and to study. 5 easy online quizzes. 4 tests in class. He drops lowest grade for each and has an optional final. Attendance IS mandatory. He's an average guy but I had REALLY hard time contacting him outside of class. Never answered my emails so I took it as he didn't care.
He does not answer emails. He assigns quizzes on the weekends for example he sends an email in the middle of the night saying is due the next day.
I do not know how this man has good ratings.. He does not respond to emails at all, and he does not check up on the students throughout the semester. No extra credit, or makeup work work. He does not care who passes and who doesn't. The first bad professor I've had honestly
Not an easy class. You must teach yourself the material. I have an A, but make sure to take notes and do the practice problems from all the lessons and the reviews (I do all the questions). Those help you prep for quizzes and tests. Weekly quizzes are available on Fri/Sa. There's 5 tests in total, available from Sun-Tu (respondus lockdown monitor).
I took him during the pandemic and I picked him thinking hed be good but boy was I wrong. Get ready for no lectures on how to do things and EXAMS worth 75% of grade which you have to use a lock down browser that records you audio and Visual. So cheating? Not a chance. Seems like a cool guy but cares way to much about cheaters. WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC
This professor was not good. Did not hold any sessions but gave homework and quizzes throughout the semester. Only had lectures before tests which is only 5 lectures that were not mandatory. Grades unfairly. Do not recommend taking his online class.
By far the worse professor Ive taken at MDC. extremely unfair teacher and will fail you in your exams which are recorded and accuse you of cheating.
Wow dont even waste your time by taking this professor this by far is the worse professor ever !!
This professor is extremely unfair and really doesnt wanna see his students succeed.
Be ready to teach yourself in this course and then get failed on your exams cause he says you cheated ...?? worse professor Ive ever taken thats for a fact.
I had a bad experience. Never taught lectures, I had to learn everything by myself, though grader, quizzes every week, lots of homework, and he never replies emails. He only does reviews of tests on days that he is not supposed to MEET and if you don't attend to it he will not post it. A Lockdown Browser is needed for the exams (it records you)
do yourself the favor and dont take this him !does not teach. you have to teach yourself. He accuses everyone theyre cheating with NO PROOF. He doesnt like his students to succeed. i have to take this course over because he claims i cheated but i would show my entire work space. ( he uses respondus with webcam ) Dont take this professor.
dont waste your time. this professor sucks.
WOW WOW WOW. all i can say is DO NOT TAKE this professor. He does not care about his students HE FAILS EVERYONE
If I were you, I would run far far away from this class. He is unreasonable with his grading style. TONS of homework, TONS of test that are proctored and hard unless you really know the info. He doesn't even teach, he does classes like once every 3 weeks for like 10 mins. No extra credit, no help, never answers emails, RUNNNNNNNN!!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! Do not listen to the bad reviews about him. The hw he gives on Connect Math is a lot but def doable. 4 tests plus a proctored final and midterm. I guarantee you will pass this class with an A bc the review he provides are exactly what's on each test and final+midterm. BEST PROF EVER no cap
Your midterm and final are about 60% of your grade, buyer beware!!!!
His an amazing professor because on his lectures he will explain everything in detail. You will use ConnectMath to do your 47 homework's which some have 8-25 questions. The 47 hw is for the whole semester and you will receive per week about 5 or 3 hw. Every two weeks there' a test, but he will give you Review Quizzes that are similar to the test.
This professor is one the best professors Ive ever had. He is so patient and respectful. He definitely wants you to pass , and he explains the material very well
Honestly, the class is not too hard if you have some math base. Useful slides and examples. A bit of homework but super helpful. You can fix errors and score 100% easy. He always answered my email. Do the practice test,& you'll know what will be in the quizzes. Only nuisance, not all material is open at start, I could finish this class in 4 weeks!!
My class was MDC live and he was an amazing professor. His explanations were very thorough and he was very willing to help with any questions the students had.
I took him for last semester (Spring), and he was a pretty decent professor and straightforward with the material. However, I will say this: make sure you really study for the exams though as they're worth 80% of your overall grade! Homework wasn't too bad and he records his lectures, so you'll have something to refer to if you ever need any help.
Honestly, I wish I could take him again next semester. For his online course, he uses one website for absolutely everything, and because it is open source you dont need to buy a textbook (its up to you). He teaches very well and is very knowledgable. A quiz every two weeks for this class but they're unproctored. I highly recommend.
He does not like students Sets it up so he does not have to interact with anyone. Smart, but not caring or skilled in human interaction.
Looking for a kind and fair online math professor? Try Professor Alfonso. He's quick to respond to messages and provides plenty of resources. Homework is one grade and quizzes are important, while exams require above 60%. He's supportive and dedicated to helping students succeed. Honestly, take him.
Professor Alfonso is a super caring professor. My class was tough for him because he had to teach in only 50 minutes but he did amazingly good. I learned all the concepts very well with him. The homework were all the concepts reviewed in class and there were around 5 test in the semester. If you really want to learn math, take him 100%.
He is the best math professor at MDC. He is very passionate about what he teaches. The problems he presents in class and the detailed explanations he gives give you a true sense of what you need to learn. There is a lot of homework, but the homework problems show up on the test, so they are incredibly worthwhile.
I took this professor as a pre-requisite for another course and I'd just like to say, this has been one of the best MDC classes I've taken at the time I've been here. He doesn't overload with homework and he's easy to email as well. All of his assignments have a video attached incase you don't understand the lecture. 10/10 would recommend.
He is a fantastic lecturer and person, and I can't recommend him more! He knows how to teach the subject well, and makes it easy to follow along in class. His grading is clear, and as long as you complete the homework you'll be prepared for his exams. He's always willing to answer any questions, and review any exam after emailing him.
I loved his lectures! Math is not easy for me, but he simplifies problems and solves problems step by step. He is willing to go over exams with you and is easy to communicate with. I had him online and all exams were not proctored. His online homework can be tedious but you are given ultimate chances.
I have not taken other college-level math classes but this was hard. I still passed with an A but it was not an easy A. Due dates were harder to follow since it would be a Thursday or Wednesday. I did not like that. DO NOT TAKE DURING THE SUMMER.
He's a very generous professor. A lot of homework, but you're given chances to get it right. Just do the work, study! Midterm and final made a lot of sense! I recommend him to any one needing take an online math class.
Professor Alfonso is a dedicated instructor who makes the material engaging. The homework is helpful, and his recorded lectures are great study resources. Unstuckstudy was a game-changer for exam prep. Overall, a challenging but rewarding class.
I never liked online class, but I am very glad I got to have him as my Professor during this period. He explains everything in good detail and always answers your questions. Grades are test heavy but the homework itself sets you up for success, as well as his teaching if you're paying attention during the online lectures.
Overall, the class was easy. It was mostly based on the assignments given in MyLab Math. There was a test for every chapter but they were easy. There was both a proctored midterm and final but it was short and easy. He's nice and caring and replies to messages quickly. He cares about his students and provides study guides. I definitely recommend!
Professor Alfonso was organized from the beginning of the semester to the end. Follow the syllabus to keep yourself on track and you should have no problem. Homework and quizzes are mandatory to help your grade. The study guides will help you pass your midterm and final exam. The professor responds to emails and loves to help. Great Class.
I do not like online classes, but this professor made our online class a breeze with their lectures. The system he uses for Pre-cal is a bit dated but works. He answers every question and does not sound like he will bore you to death. I still don't like math, but he made it very bearable. For sure the best math professor in MDC
I took this course online, and I have had a great experience with him and this course. The material is easy and has weekly due dates that are easy to keep up with. I personally find this better than one due date at the end of the term. The professor is super nice and easy to communicate with and very understanding.
I loved this professor. I hate Math, but he explained everything very well and made it easy to understand. He is very organized. There are about 7 quizzes, only two proctored. No midterm, no final. Homework is acceptable. He is very easygoing and helps you a lot. TAKE HIM.
This professor is amazing! He's very understanding and easy to contact whenever you need help. I totally recommend him! Two exams were on Honorlock, but they were pretty simple and not stressful at all.
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.
