Horrible!!!!!!!.He needs to learn how to teach.Talks very fast and asume everybody knows about computer.DO NOT TAKE THIS CALSS WITH HIM.
Not a good instructor.He may know and have the knowledge on computer, but he does not how to teach the class.
I disagree with the other comments, this professor is very nice and helpfull, you just have to want to learn the material...he is fair and he gives you chances to bring your grade up.
He gives a lot of opportunities to bring your grade up and is very helpful.
If you know about computer or have have some familiarity with them then this class would be great for ypu because u will be able to learn new things. On the other hand if your not familiar at all with computer the class might require some extra help.But since your online reading this i think you have a good idea of how to get around.
very bad professor. very unfair. unkindly professor.
the guy is boring as ****!
he is not very friendly professor but if you do all the webct homeworks, go early to class and do the work you will get an A, it wasn't hard for me and i'm not good with computers. good luck and take him.
Very fair and helpful. As long as you go to class and do your assignmets you're fine. Professor always answered quickly to any emails I sent. Excellent professor!
Very helpful and knows his stuff. As long as you don't miss class, DONT be late, and complete your assignments on time you will have no problem getting an A. Prof is always concerned if everyone is following and always stopped to answer questions
He's a very helpful teacher. Of course it's going to be boring, it's everything about computers that you already know. You'll learn something new everyday! He's always helpful and very nice. The class is a breeze.
Ok.. NO NO NO.! DO not take him. He think everyone knows Computers as well as he does, and thinks the Book is going to teach us it all.! TOO MUCH h.w, but of course. The comp. geeks wont Agree.
Omg this man is organized! he gives homework every monday i think i was and assignments every weds (i had him mons $ weds) but overall he is a good teacher, he can get a little strict with you but its ok
Took him online. The calendar is well set up as he organized. All the assignments and quizzes are up to date. Only there to grade assignments as we teach ourselves with the book. You cannot miss the assignments or you will get a poor grade. Only recommend if you are not lazy and actually have the time and effort to do all the work.
He is a great teacher but at times can be VERY intimidating!!
I got a D in the class but that was my fault. The class is not that hard but he does gives a lot of work. Also, he seemed intrested in your progress in the class. I did not like his personality. He was a little arrogant and too serious. He is not that friendly. He will like you show him you enjoy the class and that you think he's the best :]
Tibaquira is an awesome guy!! Yet if he's your professor is a totally different thing. He's very strict yet i guarantee that you will learn in the class. He worries about you learning the subject. He's a cool person and a friend too.
Very good professor. The concepts of the class are not difficult, but doing the assignments is necessary in order to get a good grade. He is very willing to help and actually encourages that you seek him out.
When I started at the College, I assumed that he was an extremely difficult professor but, in reality, he's only doing his job: trying to help us get somewhere. People say he's strict but, does it hurt to turn in your assignments on time? He is truly remarkable and an awesome human being! ;)
HE'S A GOOD GUY. DO YOUR WORK AND YOU'LL BE FINE. HIS ACCENT IS ANNOYING BUT WE USUALLY GO BY THE BOOK, SO ITS COOL.
CGS 1060 is a lot of work. You will need to do homework and assignments. The exams include both the pratical and the theoretical part. Now, if you are thinking of taking this class with Diego, I suggest to be on time for class and be prepare to do lots of work. Another thing, Diego is a serious person, but he talks and help students. "Good Luck"
Hottest professor ever!! he captivated my interest for computers..! I definitely recommend him if you really want to learn!
This was a great class, it helped me to learn MS Ppoint and MS Excel so much better. He is an Excellent Professor, respectful and to the point. He is serious and will not tolerate tardies or absences that are unexcused. I do recommend his class, if you pay attention you will learn a lot. Lots of HW but open book. Test are Practical & theoretical.
It's always nice to learn about something you use every single day in your life. Though it can be a little boring, Prof. Tibaquira makes it easy. Even though I already knew more than half of the stuff taught, I still learned a lot and I'm glad I took this course with him. He's a great teacher as long as you respect him and are a good student.
best teacher for CGS1060 easy "A" if u study and do all thgw work/ Lot of homework and assigment.attendance xtra credit
Great teacher I recommend him for Cgs1060. Buy the book on online the class is easy and just do your assignments.
I am going to have to be very HONEST with this. This "professor" thinks he is still in the ARMY (which is WRONG)and give assignments as if he still were. He does NOT HELP you at all although you are doing homeworks and LAB HOURS. NOT COMFORTABLE with him. SUPER BAD PROFESSOR. Do NOT WASTE your TIME, $$, and WEEKEND hours. He should QUIT!!
Great professor took him online and it was the easiest class he is very helpful and there are not alot of assignments to do. he gives you like a month to complete each section which only includes little quizes that dont count towards grade and 1 assinment persection along with one quiz you bearly have to study. I would o everything the day itwas du
How he can be so bad at teaching computer class!!!! BELIEVE ME!
took it online. EXTREMELY EASY! he gives you about a month for each section. you need a good 5 hours to do the section so dont procrastinate. the tests are all 20 questions and there ALL in the book. very easy assignments. i suck at computers and i got an A.
He is very uneasy.
I am not against him, but he shows attitude to the students. He thinks we are in the army, and that we are soldiers. He is not comprenhensive at all. I have to confess that I lerned with him, but I could not get used to his methodology.
He's not so bad. He just wants his students to do well and not slack because at the end of the semester he doesnt change your grade because he likes you. so dont count on that. You have to do all the homeworks and assignments in order to pass the class. The tests dont really affect you that much, mainly classwork and assignments!
Super helpful professor. He might be strict, but he's only preparing you for the future. Everyone always wants the easy way out, but he actually makes you do work. He is very helpful, and replies to e-mails. Make sure to visit him on office hours if you need help, he's easy to talk to.
He is very strict, but if you make all the homework and assignment the class is gonna be easy, and always read the chapter before going to the class!!!
To tell the truth this prof is really nice but you must do your homeworks attend class and also study for his tests I guaranteed you you will pass with an A .I Passed nhis class with an A i recommend you to take his class and you will learn a lot and you must get the book very helpful
best professor ever highly recommend you wont regret it as long you do your homeworks and study you will pass the test I got an A on his class but you must study to pass
Great professor. Don't miss assignments, homework, and study for test. You will get a good grade.
This class isn't hard. You need the book for sure. The professor is very clear and direct in what he wants. If you miss a few questions that where wrong in your homework that you knew where correct, you can talk to him about giving you credit for it. His pretty understanding yet very strict person. His also very approachable for any issues.
Amazing professor, highly recommended. He's super helpful. He's just THE BEST
The best professor ever!!! Even if he is very strict with the dead-lines and the punctuality, if you have any problem he will listen to you and try to help you. If you want to learn I highly recommend this professor. I loved his class.
Very strict but that's the way you got to be. Great person and professor. Willing to help you if you ask for it. I would take another class with him
Great Professor, do homework, read the material And show up in class, he explain things clearly all the time. Would love to be able to take another class with him
Awesome teacher, explains thing as clear as you need it, really approachable!!
Be sure to stay on track or you will fall behind. He sends reminders. Pace yourself. Quizzes and test. Postings. SAM assignments are important. offer extra credit. Participation counts or you will be dropped. I passed because he opened up assignments for everyone that may have missed due dates or did poorly to get a 2nd chances towards end.
As long as you show up to class and follow along with his instructions the tests should be no problem at all as they are almost copies of what you review in class. He gave us 1 hour a week of lab to do, and you can do whatever u want on the computer (hopefully his HW) the HW he gives is also a copy of what you do in class with him so its reinforced
Show up to class, do the assignments & homework and you will pass. He is very straight forward.
Basic networking course. Calendar was set up in advance. There are a lot of 1-2 page papers , quizzes and labs. Read and do the work, it's an easy course. He was fair and always helpful and very responsive.
Great Professor! Very helpful when you need him or when you just don't understand things. I took him for the online class. All work is there and you can work at a fast pace or just go by the deadlines. You can always get in contact with him by phone or email and get a quick response. I would take him again and recommend him.
Great teaching style
he is the best. He is one of the best professor that I have had. At lease he has been the best prepared for every class that he has.
It was a lot for being an online class; prepare yourself to read and being your own instructor. However, he gives plenty of time to do all the work, so make sure do not to procrastinate because it is a lot. He sends weekly reminders and is always there for any question. Great Professor!
The assignments were tricky but not impossible to do. They're 3 assignments due ever week but if you pace yourself you will be able to finish the work. While doing the in class work, he explains everything multiple times for you to understand. He is a great professor.
super easy class as long as you go to the tutors to help you with the projects. I end up his class with an A
Assignments are very clear on the syllabus. Follow that and you will be OK
I'm taking CTS1134 online. Easiest class I've ever taken. Easy A/B. Tons of boring long homework. I have learned absolutely nothing. The material is here but it lacks engagements. You need to teach yourself. If you need an easy A take this class online. Just be ready for boring long homework assignments that you will gain nothing from IMO.
He is average! Too much work and no time to do it! He wont be flexible at all. Get ready to sweat!
yes it does have a lot of homework (c'mon, it took me usually 2 hour a week to complete all weekly assignments) but this class was supposed to meet twice a week, not once like he did. So yes, he was expecting you to complete the rest at your own peace within the deadlines. free eBook, pay attention, don't be in your cellphone!
Prof. Tibaquira is strict. He can come across like a jerk at first. However, he wants you to learn and pass. He does not play nor tolerate cell phone and talking. He is fair. Do you assignments, come to class and go to lab, you'll be fine. If you do not come to class, he'll drop you after so many absences. Makes sense.
Tibaquira is a very strict professor. He does not tolerate cellphones and earphones. Skip class and you won't pass. Very easy homeworks every week. There is no final for this class. He doesn't care for students at all, he just wants us to be independent.
He is a great professor, caring about his students. The class itself is heavy so be ready to spend a few hours a week studiying
Dismissive and rude to students. Wants you to parrot answers that are on the slide. Lacks industry experience.
Prof Tibaquira seems strict at first, but he's actually one of the most caring Professors at MDC. As someone who's not a tech-savvy, trust me when I say he makes this class as easy as possible for us. His lectures are all you need to complete the assignments and he mostly just uses these homeworks to determine your grade. I really recommend him!
Professor Tibaquira has been one of the best professors I've taken at MDC. I took his CGS class last semester and by just doing the homework and paying attention in class, you're guaranteed to do well. He's always open to offer help on the assignments. Take him for CGS if you can!
What a great professor! The way he schedules assignments to give you enough time to complete them so you have no excuse! Truly an amazing teacher and really cares for you if you also show that you care. A+++ Professor!!
Professor Tibaquira cares about his students and pushes you to succeed. There is lots of homework, hands on experience ( virtually) and participation is a must. Took two classes with him and came out with good grades. Will recommend for AWS learning.
Professor Tibaquira cares about his students and pushes you to succeed. There is lots of homework, hands on experience ( virtually) and participation is a must. Took two classes with him and came out with good grades. Will recommend for AWS and actual experience for Capstone project which can be used in resume.
Every assignment has to be at least a page long even if it is a simple question. No plagiarizing at all, he checks. So essentially you need to write an essay for every single assignment. It takes more time to come up with random sentences to fill the page than to answer his question.
His class was easy if you followed the assignment directions - yes there are many assignments however they are not too difficult, and he answers emails within 24 hrs. I like his style of online class and I would take him for every class if you are good at self-pacing and self-studying.
I have taken several classes with Dr. Tibaquira, he is an amazing professor, a subject matter expert. Yes he will make you do big Executives Summaries and lots of quizzes, but that is the way to get certified. I got Net+, Sec+, EC-Council CND and Cysa+ in his classes. The best professor at MDC Entec
he only gives you homework it does not explain or teach you anything
He gives SO many assignments, I don't even understand how he thinks that this is ok. If you get him be aware because you will not have a life.
Class is online but it was well organized. The professor was fast responding to emails and questions.
Class was tough at first but we were given all the materials to pass the class and I also got certified Cloud Practitioner. Many resources were provided.
This professor actually replies to emails and sends up to date emails every new homework chapter section detailing what is due and how many assignments there are in each section in order to answer any questions that may arise before we actually ask. All in all, better than Eugene Kinnaird 100% in comparison who never responds to emails
Dr Tibaquira is an amazing professor. There is a lot of work but he cares and makes sure his students have the tools they need to succeed. I've never had a professor who took such an interest in my success. I've taken him for a few classes and will say his feedback and response-time is amazing - you can always count on a reply message.
I took this class along with CTS1120 that he teaches. For this one, it is conducted of 12 APA style assignments, 12 quizzes (non proctored), 12 labs and 13 lab simulations along with 1 proctored exam. This is a 4 credit class and you need TIME. The work isn't hard its just very time consuming. You can pass by doing all the coursework + no exam.
4 credit class so expect a lot of work. Make sure you set aside time for his classes. 15 MLA papers at least 1 page long, 15 simulation labs, 15 live virtual machines, 1 graded discussion, term paper, 1 proctor exam, 15 quizzes (non proctored). Class can be passed without doing the exam. He also is a really nice grader.
Dr. Tibaquira is a no nonsense type of guy. Do you want to pass the class? You can do so with a good amount of effort. Do you want to really LEARN the material and pass certification exams? He will give you all the tools, but ultimately it's up how bad you want it. Semper Fi!
Professor T's class is exceptional. His engaging lectures and clear explanations make complex topics understandable. He fosters a supportive learning environment and is always available for questions. Real-world examples enrich the course, making it practical and relevant. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in computer technology.
I took this professor during the summer semester as a beginner in cybersecurity. The 12-week course was very informative, and the MindTap assignments and quizzes were helpful. The professor was also very kind and understanding about my family emergency. I recommend him because he is responsive to emails and cares about his students.
During the summer, I took both CTS1120 and CTS1134 with this professor. As a beginner in cybersecurity, I found these 12-week courses to be very informative. The classes included many assignments, MindTap quizzes, simulations, and papers. The professor provided clear and structured grading criteria and responded to emails quickly.
He is a great professor, he cares about his students. He helps you understand and gives you the right resources to understand the class. Grade is based on attendance, homework, and a certification exam that takes only 20% of your grade, meaning you can still pass the class if failed. I wish i could have passed it since is an AWS certification.
