I did not like him, he would be mad at you if you were 10 minutes late. He said that if we worked we should tell our supervisors to leave earlier for his class. He is ridiculous and he does not teach well. His tests are not hard but are timed, you have 1 hr to do them. I do not recommend him.

old school---speaks very "softly" tries hard to relate to the students--gives take-home quizes that could substitute for lowest exam score...Great TEACHER, WARNING: ...have some expresso before the lecture; Chem lab--OKAY---great intro classes!

Knows what he's teaching. Pretty easy, but you do have to pay attention. Makes chemistry interesting.

To tell u the truth I don't know how I passed his class...i guess laughing at his jokes helps your grade...Very Very nice professor...he gives u take home quizzes but he doesn't go over the math problems as much as he should to help you understand the tests.

wonderful professor! if you are looking for a roller coaster ride take him. he is very helpful and the test are not that hard if you study for them! study partners are helpful and taking the lab and lecture togther helps

I took professor Fernandez @ Nova Southeastern. He's a wonderful professor who provides as much attention as you need to pass his class. Understand & Caring! If he taught Organic II this semester I would have signed up in a second. Great Guy!

A great professor! Chemistry is not my thing, but he made it very fun to be in his class. He kept joking and keeping the enviroment light. YOU have to study for the test, and do ALL the homework for the class. If you attend his class, and you are motivated to do well you will get an A. Again WONDERFUL professor.

Great professor! I took him for Organic 1. He made the material easy to understand. Great in lab also! I still had to study and memorize, but he's very nice and understanding.

Great professor! I took him for the class and lab and both were great with him. He gives good examples and you can understand him clearly. If you have any trouble he won't give you an answer directly. What he expects from you is to try and figure it out step by step and at most gives you hints here and there... best way to learn I think. His tests

Test fairly,and never has problem with explaining things over again.

I took him for CHM1046 and CHM2210. He's a good professor and explains things well. Homework is not mandatory but it does replace one of your lowest test grades and DONT miss class because you will be lost if you do. His grading scale is curved the test are hard but it IS chemistry.. Just stay focused, study and you'll get a good grade.

Great professor....

he does know anything about organic chemistry this guy does not get you ready for the mcat or the pcat

Is there a more popular chem professor than Fernandez at MDC? If you dream of discovering the cure for B-Cell Lymphoma or winning the Nobel for synthing cyclomethane, take someone else. He's a professor for the masses. Pay attention in lecture, do all of the homework and practice problems and you will score well. Very, very affable guy, btw.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER I HATE CHEM AND THE WAY HE TEACHES i LOVE IT. HE CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS

Excellent professor. Highly recommended.

Very helpful prof. his accent is a little hard to understand but he is GREAT! especially explaining something you dont understand I would recommend him to anyone :)

I like the way he teaches and i would very highly recommend him

Received an A. Wonderful teacher. Very little use of the english language, but we are in the lab. I highly recommend this professor.

I had him for both the lecture and the lab. His lecture is all powerpoint but follows the material on the book. So the book IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. However, if you do your homework, he replaces your lowest test score with it and gives a mini review for every test and lots of practice problem. His lab is a nightmare so be prepared lol. Great Professor!

He is very knowledgeable of his subject and his standards are not low; you will learn with him since he is also very helpful and approachable. He made me appreciate Chemistry. For anyone who will need a strong foundation on the basics of Chem. he is the prof. to get. Drops your lowest score on tests and in-class quizzes.

Excellent professor. Really cares about his students. You will learn a lot, but you have to study.

AAA+ EXCELLENT PROFESSOR REALLY CARE ABOUT HIS STUDENTS.TAKE HIM YOU WILL NOT REGRET

I took last semester 1046 an d just finished 0rganic 1. he is super easy, of course you need to study but his exams are not tricky. I would take him again for organic 2

I took 1045,1045l ,1046lab and lecture 0rg 1 A´s but you need to study by yourself.

Very helpful professor! Took CHM1033L and passed with an A. Of course, as with any course, you MUST study!!!! Really cares about helping his students.

This Professor is awesome! He teaches very well & will definitely answer any question you may have. I can definitely see myself taking him again! His exams are easy if you pay attention, go to class & do your hw like any other class! Take him! You won't regret it! :)

This prof. is amazing! His lectures are good, he just wants you to pass & to learn! He's very nice & will answer any question you have! He's awesome! I would definitely take him again! :)

He is a great professor, he cares about his students and wants everyone to pass, yes, as people have already pointed out, he doesn't know English very well but aside from that he teaches the subject very well, it is not impossible to understand him, he knows his stuff and he will help you out even during exams! he is a very caring person!

I recommend him even though some students do not like him. But he is really good. His test are not easy at all, but if you study and do the exercises in the study sheet that he gives you; you should not have problems to get an A on this class. He also gives you a lot of extra-credit for every test.

Great professor. He is always helpful and makes sure that the student understands the assigned exercise.

Decent professor. Just study the lab and the concept of the lab your doing that day and you will get an A. Now if you don't read your manual and don't study. You have great difficulty. He doesn't grade you tough at all.

He doesn't know English very well, but overall hes probably the best chem lab teacher ever, nothing is hard and he will HELP YOU OUT DURING THE TEST!!! I had him and Tarafa for lecture and I learned all the chm1025 things from him and not her. Consider him as a tutor really so hes perfect! Taking him for CHM1045L

Took the 1033 Lab. The professor is interested in helping students understand Chemistry. Has been a chemist for over 30 years and is second nature to him. However you must study the modules of lab book. Makes lab fun and explains things simple. He does have a strong accent so pay attention. He is very approachable even if you only speak english.

Take him. His very helpful even when taking a test. He wants for you to pass. He explains really good and knows exactly what his talking about.

This professor was really clear of what he wanted. He gives extra credit in every test and there is also PLTL sessions that count for extra credits. If you study for his test you will pass with no problem.

Professor Fernandez is pretty good, not an easy A, but extremely helpful and he does want all students to succeed. He does have an accent but he does explain the subjects clearly. There were no quizzes or mid-term, only work assignments and a final exam.

If you are engaged and trying, he will pass you. He wants everyone to pass. He knows the material and is willing to assist beyond the assignments

He explain the logic of the things that is why you need to know "WHY"?? in the questions he ask, he is a really good professor. I love the way he teaches. Take him and you will learn without stress. You will enjoy her lecture. Good mentor and good professor.

He is an amazing chemistry teacher.

excellent professor

He is really just great. He does expect participation and a little of self learning but he provides an environment for you to grow and learn. He is really helpful to the students and often offers his spare time to help. Gives extracredit . Really the best professor for chem so far.

Professor, Fernadez's class is quite an easy A. You go to class, he goes over the procedure of the lab, you do the lab with a partner, and you leave class as soon as you're finished. He gives 3 exams throughout the course, but he gives a review the class before. He has an accent which is hard to understand, however he's still a good professor.

This teacher is awesome. I had him for chm1045 and chm1046 and he is such an exellent person. He gives very helpful advices and I am glad to have been his student for the last two semesters. Best, R. N.

Well, he is a good professor. You have to read each chapter and attent to class... This is an introductory chemistry so be ready. what else? he gave 3 tests and final. He likes to talk a lot and tries to wake up our curiosity in this subject. I would take him again because now I know his way to grade and those stuff. Good luck!

Good professor, he wants you to think out of the box. He makes you study and get closer to the material. He wants you to learn and dont be lazy.

He is an amazing professor that has a clear grading criteria, and that will teach you more than chemistry. He will teach you about life as well, and how chemistry is related to everything.

One of the best Chemistry professors I have encountered in my path as a student. He knows his stuff, and makes sure you learn why things happen the way they happen.

I must admit that he has a thick accent and is sometimes hard to understand but if you really want to pass your Chemistry lab classes, take him. All we had were lab reports and 1 final . Make sure you do all of your lab reports to get an A on them and study for the final which he will give a review on. You won't regret taking him for lab :)

I love him as a professor it's just tough because I would wish he'd give reviews or some kind of inclination of what will be on tests instead of just saying its on chapter 3. I enjoy his lectures cause he goes off topic into his life but he ties it into what he is explaining and that makes me personally learn better. No HW/ 4 tests/ EC on a poster.

His class is 100% nonstop lecture. He is funny and you can tell he cares about students. If you have him, visit him in office hours and create a relationship with him so he knows you. Tests are challenging, if its multiple choice you wont get full credit unless you explain your answer on the side. Also, tests are 1hr, afterwards theres lecture.

He is a nice person and he tries to explain the PowerPoints, but he goes out of topic. You have to study all by yourself to pass the test. Read the book and do the exercises. He lets you use your notes. Be ready to explain every answer in the test. There are just 4 exams and 1 final. It is an easy class if you study hard by yourself.

Professor Fernández is a nice Professor. To get an A in your tests, you will need to read the book by yourself. Exams are similar to the exercises he gives for every chapter. In class he only reads the powerpoints, but it is fine if you study hard. Be ready to explain every answer on the exam to get full credit. Loved the class.

Exams are based on the pp and the exercises he gives you. Be ready to explain ever question in the test. If you study hard and practice as many exercises as you can, you will get an A in the class. 4 exams and 1 final.

He has an accent and gives unclear instructions that takes time for you to get used to. Ask a lot of questions in the first class and you will have a general idea of the entire course. He goes over the labs in detail and does thorough review on 3 lab tests. He is very knowledgeable in chemistry and is very chill.

Amazing teaching skills and made a hard subject as chemistry very easy to understand. Gives good reviews before every test about the content for the exams. Explains the lab and the class content very detailed and help you if there is something yo did not understand.

you do a lab weekly, they arent hard but you do have a bit of work. not a hard class if you just listen

weekly lab, but he explains or does a demo before each experiment to make sure students understand. he prepares you for the final and is very accessible outside of class. be sure to turn in any late work asap!! incredibly kind and understanding.

i DO NOT agree with the other comments as a queer female. he was super helpful in class, you just have to get used to his way of working. his accent is super strong but if you need help he will do most experiments with you and give you the answers as he does it. if you need help before class he explains any questions you may have.

He has a strong accent but he is easy to get used to if u work with each other. No homework, only reports from experiments which he does with u and sometimes gives u the answer. and quizzes from the book.

Professor Fernandez has a specific teaching style, but engaging with it pays off. The labs can be a bit of work, but his detailed demos and exam reviews make it manageable. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for my study prep.

I love Carlos. if you read the material before class, you will do great. We have a short quiz (2–5 quest) at the start of every class, based on the pre-lab. He doesn't use Canvas,he emails the schedule. Grades come from quizzes,reports, and three exams. He's funny, kind, and even gave me goggles twice when I forgot mine. would take him again 1000%.

Professor Fernandez is amazing! He explains everything so well and does good test reviews before every test that will help you in your lecture also! I would 100% take him again grade is mostly lab & 3 test
