Eric is a knowledgeable and cool professor. He uses powerpoint which is a plus. He also posts the powerpoints on webct so that you have them to study from. We also had weekly quizzes on webct, which is a drag but it really helps you keep up with the readings. He is also good eye candy :-)

He is there to teach you what he knows, not what the system wants you to learn. A true univeristy professor, not a high school one. His classes are "life-related" issues, but unfortunately he has to make his tests according to what the system tells professors to say. Highly recomended!

The biweekly online quizes suck! 3 tests which are not bad, even when I felt I could have studied more. He curves! I got 90's and up on all the tests, average of 80's on online quizes, 1 low online quiz score in the 50's and still got an A. Best part is if you earn an A- he rewards you by bumping you up to an A+.

The one bad thing about this class is that the quizzes are due before class. You just have to read the text. He has also chosen a text that you can bare reading. Easy on the eyes but not worth the time spent in class. Tests are based on quizzes that you take. Read and do good on quizzes and you are set. The answers are obvious if you read!!!

Professor is young and cute :) Doesn't take attendance, but must submit weekly quizzes that are due before class. As long as you look at the study guides on WebCT and read, you should be fine. he makes class semi-fun and relates a lot of issues to "our generation" (i.e. 35 and under club) 3 exams in class, all m/c and based on weekly quizzes.

Online quizzes are verbatim from the text. But they are insufficiently timed, so prepare in advance. Essay exams are excessively long, try to pre-write your essays with the list of topics he'll give you. Have a CONCRETE understanding of the material. Appearance-wise, he's cross between JFK Jr. & Patrick Dempsey... Enjoy ;)

Take this professor if you can. The class consists of 3 essay exams, a case study, and weekly quizzes( which you can google). He gives a review for the exam based 10 topics and then selecting 6 which will be on the exam. The exams have 6 questions but you choose 5 to do. I really enjoyed this class and learned alot. Take him!

Professor Cartaya is a great person and teacher! He makes class very entertaining and knows how to create meaningful class discussion. The course is graded based on in-class essay exams (with LockDown Browser), a few online assignments, and a job description project.

Overall the quizzes are easy and can all be found on google however you have 3 essay exams that make up you're whole grade. Never answers emails and doesn't give any extra credit because he "doesn't believe in extra credit". Probably wouldn't take him again.

Don't let his nice presence fool you into thinking you'll get an A in the class. He's a tough grader and rigorous when it comes to his papers. Managed to get a B- in the course and that's because I took his essay exam TWICE, and I was 1 point away from a B in the course... he wasn't fair. I personality didn't like it. Took him for grad school

Professor Cartaya's class is actually really fun, however he is not responsive at all. The biggest part of the grade is a huge Training program (40%) you have to work on throughout the course. He was supposed to give feedback on part 1 and 2. He failed to give feedback on part 2 and as a result students were lost. He doesn't replay to emails.

Took this class online. 1 quiz every week( found online) , 1 project, 2 discussions, and 3 essay exams. All of them,,except the essay exams are easy. For the essay exams you must read a lot and prepare well to write the concept, personal examples, opinions because he is a really tough grader. Take it if you really like to write excellent essays.

few quizzes you can find online 3 exam essays and 2 job description. I don't understand how he grades because for the job description he took points away saying my format was off when I literally used the format he used in the job description example. When asking him questions he is very vague with his answer which doesn't help.

This class consisted of 15 quizzes, 3 written exams on lockdown browser, 2-part project, and 2 discussions. Professor Cartaya is a very tough grader and never gives 100's on assignments no matter how well you demonstrate comprehension on exams. Quizzes are online and easy, project and discussions were easy but the exams are weighted heavy.

The course consists of weekly quizzes (two attempts), three essay exams, two short discussions, and a detailed job description. He provides power points but getting the online book definitely helps as well. Exams are timed and done with LockBrowser. It seems impossible for him to give 100% on the essays but feed back is provided. Grades take long.

Great professor for sure. He really makes this class simple for you and pays attention to those who really want to learn. He gives weekly quizzes based on book, three essay exams (not hard if you study) and one project. Just pay attention and know what you're doing and you get an A. Definitely would recommend him to all.

One of the best professors you can take at FIU; his lectures are fascinating; he makes you want to participate in the discussions, and he is extremely knowledgeable. The class is not hard, chapter quizzes, a project, and 3 big exams. If you read and pay attention to class you'll do great.

Hes a good teacher and this class isnt hard if you do the work but he hasnt graded one of my assignments for some reason and has told me multiple times he would and tomorrow is the last day for grades and still nothing. I have sent him over 10 emails. Its way too hard to reach this guy and its the difference between a B and an A. Unprofessional

I am convinced that this is the best professor at FIU. Personally, one of the best teachers I have ever had. He makes you think, challenges you, subliminal teaches you life lessons, his lecture style is open format for anyone to talk as well and challenge a topic. He is very knowledgeable and a great leader. I wish everystudent could take his class

Tough grader with very little feedback. Follow the rubic for the essay exams. Long chapters to read each week with a quiz each week. Questions require understanding the terms from the book. Questions are tricky although multiple choice. This class should be easier. 15 quizzes and 3 essay exams lockdown browser

Dr. Cartaya relies on his TA's for all his grading. His rubrics are unclear, and he offers little to no feedback on grades. You would be better off taking this course with another professor.

Dr. Cartaya was an incredible professor. The syllabus was clear. He's very communicative and ensures that you understand what's expected. There are weekly multiple choice quizzes but it's on the content he went over in class. There are no surprises. No reason to not get an A. He's very engaging and inspiring.
