Extremely good professor. Provides optional but extremely helpful study sessions. Is willing and able to set up office hours if needed, works with students well. Gives good videos to help students better understand material. Would take him for math again! Difficulty level at a 3 only to for overall math difficulty

Heavy workload but to be expected since it was a 6wks online course. Professor provided many videos and explained material very well. He was very quick to respond any time I had difficulty with homework problem or quiz. He offers live online help before every exam (this was extremely helpful). I definitely recommend him.

Took this class online (mini term) and there is homework everyday. Prof provides lecture videos but quality varies, sometimes he doesn't explain the material in depth. Tests are weighed heavily, 3 labs (easy), everything else is through MML. Nice guy but should offer more extra credit and having taken it online I never saw he gave live tutoring.

The class was what I expect from an online class, teach yourself. He does hold online review sessions for tests which I'm sure are helpful. Do the 9 homework assignments a week and do the practice test a couple of times and you should be fine for tests. The final wasn't like the practice exam but I'm sure it was just a mistake.

I think he would be a great professor in class but the problem lies with the online program used for calc. The program is called WebAssign and it is a terrible math program.

If you take his class, be ready for him to talk about anything other than the material on homework/tests. Barely does any practice problems in class. Prepare to learn the material practically on your own. He's usually available on the weeks days for office hours, so I guess there's that. I don't wanna be to harsh, but don't waste your time or money

This class itself isn't difficult. All the assignments are on my math lab. There aren't any meetings but the attendance is by submitting on canvas saying that you did the work plus doing the work on MyLab. Other than that the work itself is tricky but he offers a lot of help and resources.

Take anyone else & thank me later. Worst prof I've had at SF. Despite passing and the course itself being pretty easy, he made it so much more complicated & confusing than it should have been. didn't enter grades AT ALL until about a month away from end of semester & grading was confusing. Lectures were just rants about nothing important at all.

If you are dedicated, you can get an A. He is very clear about what to do to be successful in his class and there are NO surprises on the tests. He gives you practice tests that you can take over and over and basically has the same questions as the test. I would definitely take him again.

Overall the class was great. I had a hard time understanding some of the lessons which I then turned to him for help but wasn't able to access the video he sent me. I had messaged him and did not hear anything back. Besides that I really enjoyed the class. I would take him again.

Prof. Torres was extremely quick with his response time for an online class. He was good at helping through his course being very generous grading wise. Most of his work is completion based. The one thing about the course I would change would be the honor lock system as a whole, I know he has no control but this system is annoying and faulty.

Watch the lectures on canvas to learn the material. Participation/Attendance grade is doing the homework on MML and saying that you've done it on canvas. Only 3 Test. If you want to go to office hours make an appointment with him. He has an excel spreadsheet to help you keep track of your grade throughout the course. I took Sta2023 and Mac1105.

It is an easy class as long as you do the homework and quizzes you are good to get an A for this class. The exams are pretty easy as they are the same as the assignments and he is very accessible on the homework questions. It is a great online class!

Professor Torres is a great professor who knows how to make a Summer online class very manageable. As long as you do the Homeworks on MML and Canvas participation assignments you should be able to get an A in this class. The material is a lot in a short amount of time, but he is always ready to help when needed. Would recommend this professor!

This class has been easy so far. He offers practice tests that help you prepare for the test, which I greatly appreciate. He's quick to respond to emails which is nice. Keep up with your hw and don't fall behind; you'll most likely pass. Will drop lowest test grade of 3. Overall great professor.

Overall, I think the class was manageable partly because I already knew a few things about the lessons as it is similar to Algebra 2. However, there is some material not entirely covered in the the book or videos provided so you kind of have to figure it out on your own. One thing I don't like about this class is the constant use of My Lab Math.

He talks a lot in his lectures but strays off into different, irrelevant subjects sometimes. As long as you do the Homeworks on MML and Canvas, an A is feasible. He gives very clear expectations and guidelines.
