Bajuelos is an amazing professor, really cares about his students and wants you to understand the subject. The first 15 mins of every class are the last 15 mins of the previous class. a sort of review overlap. It's wonderful since usually towards the end of class people tend to zone out.

Antonio Bajuelos is a very nice and approachable professor. The lectures are very easy and he repeats what he thinks is the most important often, a very good technique to get the essentials down first.

If you want to learn and have a professor that really cares about his students, you should take him. He is one of the best professors I have had at FIU. He responds to emails very quickly and is always willing to help in and out of the classroom. He gives excellent lectures and exam reviews. I will definitely take him again.

This was not an easy class and is definitely one of the most important classes in computer science. Honestly, professor Bajuelos, despite his accent, made the class very interesting. His lectures are very detailed and he is always willing to stay after class to clarify any questions. My advice: pay attention and study, this will make it easy

This was my second class with professor Bajuelos and I can say he's one of the best professors at FIU. I really enjoyed his class and even though I took it in the summer and the time was not enough to cover all the material in detail, the PROLOG part of the course was really interesting but challenging. Study and do the assignments and you'll be ok

Bajuelos is one of the best professors at FIU. He is very knowledgeable, caring and understanding. Online courses are obviously more challenging than on-campus but he is very organized and he grades fairly. I would recommend taking this class with him.

This professor is amazing. His classes are very interesting and he uses several resources to make the content easier to assimilate. If you need help after class, he is happy to help and he is also willing to reconsider your grade for an assignment if you have questions or think you deserved more.

If you are taking this class remotely because of COVID, BEWARE. There are no zoom meetings, if you are bad with time management and motivation, you will struggle. You need to be prepared to set time aside to watch the videos because attendance is not required. Tests are difficult but if you study the guide he gives you will be fine.

Professor Bajuelos was very responsive, patient, and helpful when I had (many) questions. His accent is very thick, so it may take some getting used to. Once I got used to it (and used video captions) I very much enjoyed his lectures. There is a free textbook, but I find I don't need it when I pay attention to the lectures. 2 exams, 4 assignments.

3 assignments, a midterm, and a final. The assignments are easy, but weigh very little. You'll need to study the material in order to pass, and the professor will post additional resources on top of the video lectures and textbook. This online class is honestly not all bad, especially compared to the others at FIU.

BEWARE FIU students. Socially distance yourself from this professor at all costs. To start it off, this professor barely explains anything and has a terrible accent that no one can understand. Myself and others have enrolled in the academy of YouTube to actually understand the materials. Finally, please do yourself a favor and don't take Bajuelos.

Prof Bajuelos can be difficult to understand due to his accent and mic. However, he has good intentions and is very accessible to answer your questions. Your grade is very heavily weighted on two exams(35% and 40%). Exam questions are more than reasonable. The assignments don't count for much but prepare you very well for the exams.

I don't know why he's so respected, his XML videos are horrible, you learn nothing from his XML videos, and don't even learn how to program using it. Also why are we learning XML and not SQL..? Outdated, and doesn't teach us how to use basex.

Professor Bajuelos is kind, caring, and attentive professor. He is very understanding is quick to reply for any questions or doubts you may have. The class consists of 3 assignments, and two exams (midterm & final). Overall assignments & exams are easy to do and he gives you tons of resources to use in case you get stuck.

Professor Bajuelos is one of the best professor I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and will try to help you as much as he can. This class is easy, but expect to do some work if you want an A. Database is a very important topic for any CS student no matter what field you will specialize in. having some notion of DB is a must.

great prof, gives in-depth explanations on materials and the assignments are really engaging to work on, not too hard but it isn't an easy A either. All of his lectures are online so you don't have to come to class, but I would recommend it because his explanations are good. midterm and final are heavily weighted so make sure to study for them!

Decent professor; definitely better than most. I enjoyed the class and had good feedback from the professor. The midterm and finals combined are 75% of the total grade (completed through honorlock). Lectures are good but you don't have to watch them, google can be your guide. He provides exam reviews which I found useful. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!

His midterm was 35% and final 40%, but there wasn't anything on there that wasn't on his slides. He explains concepts well imo. His class is more about learning more data structures than implementing them, but he gives you resources to find out how to code them on the slides and he expects you to do them on your own since it's a x1 per week class.

Taking him online so maybe the experience is different in person but his lectures are awful. Audio is bad so its hard to even understand him sometimes. Only 3 assignments and they are very difficult and the examples he provide are not similar to the assignment.

Exams use honorlock (AVOID). His lectures are next to useless, his voice is incomprehensible and the slides don't help with most of the assignments. Does not accept scanned handwritten homework (unlike every other mathematics prof you will likely ever have), assignments are relatively long and tedious, you'll be teaching yourself with youtube.

He is clearly very knowledgeable. Be ready to research everything because the lectures are hard to follow. He just goes over a PDF presentation and mostly reads it. Not many examples are provided and it is a ton of material. The final in particular is cumulative. You are expected to remember algorithms and their properties. He has a rough accent.

I had him online for data structures and it was a stress-free class. There were 3 assignments and two exams so it wasn't a lot of work. He also let me turn in a late assignment so he's pretty reasonable. He's one of the best teachers for data structures.
