down-to-earth teacher who acts more like a friend
The best teacher Ive ever had in my life! Great teacher and cool guy.
The best teacher Ive ever had in my life! Great professor and cool guy.
He is a very great teacher explaining math, managing the class in a proffsional manner as the way it should be. We know that math can be a very tedious experience to learn, but with Horacio the expierence is better. I will really recommend this proffesor to take class with, you will be glad you took the class with him, The grades are good and fair
He is an outstanding professor. He really cares for his students and made sure that everyone understood the subjects taught during class. He makes lectures super entertaining and makes sure everyone passes. If I had to take this class with a different professor, I probably wouldn't have done so well. Best professor I have ever had.
Good professor
Pretty cool guy. Hes funny and very helpful
Best math professor ever, he cares about the students! Plus he is so hilarious. Take class with him and you wont regret.
Great proffesor
He is a very good proffessor
This professor is very helpful and cares about his students. He is very good at explaining which is unusual because most math teachers suck :)
Good teacher, mandatory for my math lab. Very efficient. Bonds with the class. And is easy to access to ask for help.
One of the best math professors Ive ever taken definitely a professor that takes care of his students and wants you to pass.
Attendance is important. If you actually try it's a good class. Talks a lot and thoroughly explains the problems.
This is professor is amazing! Always helps his student. Wants all his students to pass. As long as you go to class and he sees you are trying, he will help you out
Professor super cool , show up to class and and he sees that you are trying he will help you out and get you to pass.
I would this professor again because he is one of the only lecture that made me understand math more
He cares about his students he wants his students to pass his class he helps you out alot with anything that you are suggesting with in the hw and he knows how to make the class fun he's an amazing an professor
Hes super nice but talks and messes around with the class a lot ! Makes things look simple. Patient. Do the homework !!! Dont procrastinate. Final optional. Doesnt care if youre late which is super cool considering some professors are strict on that
Great proffesor, important to pay attention in classs.
He is a good professor
He is the best
amazing professor, for a class where you need a good base of math, this is the best professor for it. he wont stop until the whole class understands the subject
The best math professor I have had in Miami Dade College so far. There are so many good things that I can say about him, but I only want to mention that he makes math look the easiest thing. Class with him is going to be an easy A if you study and make good use of what he teaches in the classroom.
His class is a breeze and he's very understanding. I took him for MGF1106 and loved it.
He's amazing. Teaches very well. All homework is in Pearson my lab. He gives 3 quizzes and one final that can replace a bad score on one of the quizzes. If you scored good on all quizzes you can choose not to take the final. Also, he doesn't obligate you to go but you always go because its such a fun class
Hes an amazing professor. It makes math a lot easier and his classes are super fun. I recommend him 100%!
He is an excellent professor. He was always able to answer any questions that I had. If I didnt understand something the first time, he would explain it to me again so I would understand it. He truly cares about his students he makes math easy to understand. Explains concepts thoroughly in a clear, concise manner. Best professor EVER !!!!
He is the best professor ever! He teaches extremely good, he makes the hardest things easy, he's accessible, he's funny and caring, he doesn't take attendance, but don't miss his classes and pay attention and you'll pass, if you have any question just ask him and he'll make sure that you understand, he's my fav professor ever!!
Professor Salgado is really one of the best math teachers I have ever had and that is not an understatement! He is concise and goes step by step. He cares more about his students passing and understanding the material, than just getting to a specific chapter! Will be taking him again!
This is a great Professor. He really knows the subject and cares about his students. You must study if you want to pass, but is always accessible to discuss the class if you do not understand. I will take him again without any doubts.
Friendly professor. You'll have to practice a little bit on your own if you want to understand the class. Also, he has lots of office hours available if you have any questions.
He's funny but acts like a friend than a teacher. Doesn't follow syllabus, unorganized. No classwork, grade is base on HW online and 5 tests in class (very few questions about 4-10, making it difficult to receive a good grade). He assumes you know about chapters before he teaches it, difficult if you're a parent/work. Might as well take it online.
He is seriously one of the best math professors in MDC, so goo that I'm upset that i wont be able to take him in FIU. He explains everything very clearly and really cares about his students. Theres no attendance but Prof Salgado knows exactly who shows up and who doesnt. I 100% recommend him, you won't regret it :)
Hes such a caring professor, stay for his office hours as hes as always willing to help. Show up for class attendance is not mandatory but that way you understand how to do the lectures and pass his quizzes. Would definitely recommend to whoever struggles with math
He is awesome really nice, he will help you out if he notices you care about the class. He knows his topic really well.
Professor Salgado is one of the greatest math teachers tbh. I had him for 1033 and then for 1105. I intend to go on to the other math classes with him as well. He teaches clearly. If you don't pass with him, it's really because you didn't try hard enough. He only puts what he teaches on the test and does a review before the test, piece of cake.
This professor is not so good as some people say. You basically have to study really hard if you are not a math savvy. He gives 4 test and a final if you go to the final, he drops the lower grade. Lots of homework, which serves as a grade, so better get a total of 100 on homework. Not the best, so be aware.
He is the best math professor you could ever take. You gotta study for his tests, but he will definitely help you out. He is easy to reach during office hours. He is also caring and very understanding. I strongly recommend taking his math class.
Profesor Salgado is one of the best profesora Ive ever had, he cares for the student to succeed and explains clearly, answer every question you can have, he is funny and takes the math class in a different but really good way, definitely Im taking calculus with him next semester
SUPER disorganized and does not know how to teach. He favorites students a lot, gives NO review, tests. are super black and no multiple choice. DO NOT TAKE.
Took him for Stats. He is a bit disorganized and goes off topic a lot, but he is very fair and tries to simplify the material for you. He is always willing to answer questions in and out of class. Study his reviews and you should be fine. Take him!
Attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss you will highly regret it and fall behind. I've been taking him since 1033 and he still is a great teacher! He is easy to follow. You do what you have to do and trust me you will pass!
Extremely disorganized, talks a lot about things that have nothing to do with the class, has favorites students and grades them better. 6 test, 100+ homework, which is counted as a test so make sure you get 100% on hwk, one final that replaces the lowest test. Never again
Amazing professor!!! If youre an engineer take him!! He loves the engineer and prepares you for later on.
Best math prof eveeeeerrrrr. Math is going to be awesome if you take your class with Horacio. His classes are fun, he is pretty good at giving explanations and tests are not that hard. Strongly recommended!!!!
You will have lots of fun with this man. If you understand math, this is an easy A class with this professor. If math is hard for you, he will do everything he can to make you understand
He's the best math professor you could ever take. He cares A LOT about his students and is always willing to help in and out of class. He's also really funny. You would never find his class to be boring. If you are bad at math, he would do everything he can to make you understand - his way of teaching makes math look easy. I strongly recommend him
HE IS THE BEST! Professor Horacio is the best math professor EVER. He explains the material really well and helps you get the content. Strongly recommended.
He wasnt such a bad teacher in class, but when we switched to remote learning he was the worst teacher Ive ever had. Impatient, not understanding, and overall made this semester so much harder. Ive never had a teacher who was so unhelpful like this professor. Dont take this class if you want to fail.
This professor is pleasant during class but this is the only positive thing about him. His class is not organized at all, not even a syllabus. uncooperative to student needs and issues. I was unlucky enough to have him when classes were moved to remote learning, barley communicated with the class, left black board blank. Rude over Email.
If you're lazy and want to receive A without working for it, I think this professor isn't the best option for you. In the other side, if you're really interesting in learning and want to improve your math skills, then take him. He cares about students and is willing to help you if and only if you show at least some interest in the class. BEST PROF
He is very disorganized, no syllabus, no plan. He was good until we switched to remote learning. He made all things harder. He was rude by email. He did not care about if the students understood the material, he covered 5 topics for one test in two clases and did not review anything, after that the test was way harder than why he taught two classes
Ive known Horacio for quite some semesters,and I KNOW he is a good teacher, he is one of the best in MDC period. I did have him during covid... The people that had bad things to say about him are being harsh, but there is a reason he doesnt teach online in the first place. He is just better in person and its not his fault. Be easy on him...
He has the ability to explain complex subjects in a simplified way, makes it very simple to understand and his lectures are never boring, hes funny. He gives a review to practice before the test, its up to you if want to do it or not. I had him when we switched to remote learning and he was responsive. Pay attention, do hw, study.
I've been knowing professor Salgado for the past 3 semesters. He's by far the best. He's extremely smart, caring, and HILARIOUS. I know many people complain about him because he does not give you an A unless you work for it. If you're an engineer, he's the perfect option for you.
I had NEVER enjoyed a math class as much as I enjoyed this one. When we were in class, he took the time to explain and make the content look so easy. I was never bored during any of his classes. I recommend him 100%
I took him during Covid-19, and he still was an amazing professor. I dont even know why people complain so much. I loved this professor!
Professor Salgado is the best! take him yes or yes!
I've had a great experience with him this fall! he's hilarious, so his classes are so much fun. he'll call you "homie" and joke around, but he's also great at explaining. he dumbs everything down for the class so its understandable. his test reviews are just like the exams. taking him again for calculus next semester.
This is by far the worst professor at MDC. He doesnt care about his students.
He is very disorganized, no syllabus, no plan. He made all things harder. He was rude by email. He did not care about if the students understood the material.I wont take him never againnnnn .Save your money and save your time .Do not take this Professor.
This course is tough. Tests are heavy ,and not really from practice exams. There are 4 tests and then the final. Overall, you need to study on your own to pass .He talks a lot during class ,and he doesnt care about students .
grade heavy , difficult class to pass, wasted my money and time taking his class i would not recommend student to take his class.
This professor is the second worst teacher Ive had at mdc. He is never on time for online lectures(40 minutes late at one point) and always gives the excuse that his mic doesnt work. However if your mic does not work he will legit Berate you if you do the same. Hes very rude .
Worst professor at MDC .Save your money and do not take him . Salgado is a rude professor and he doesnt care .
Professor Salgado was one of the best professors I've taken at MDC. He is a funny laid-back guy, and may call you homie here and there. He cares about his students and always asks if we understand the material. 4 exams and an optional final that drops the lowest grade. I highly recommend taking him! :)
Professor Salgado made me love math. Best Math Professor Ive ever had.
Just because someone is a good person doesnt mean theyre a good teacher. A lot of people say that hes great because of his personality, which is true, but as a teacher hes absolute garbage. If you can put up with his overall disorganization then go for it. But if you have a hard time with math I REALLY wouldnt recommend him.
He's probably one of the only math professors who is willing to compromise with his students. Other math professors wouldn't care if you sink or swim in their classes. He gives many opportunities to help with your grades. If you attend in-person, he tries to make sure everyone understands the concepts.
Coming from a person that finds math difficult, take him. Professor Salgado explains complex concepts in simple steps making it easier for everyone to understand. He really cares about each of his students and he is hilarious. I loved his class, I got an A, and I will be taking him again in future semesters. Plus, the final is optional. Take him!
Best professor at MDC
In his lectures he would explain everything step by step. He had quizzes after a few hw modules but if you practice you will get a good grade. optional final based off passed grade test. Great professor would take again.
Hes nice to a few select students (mostly girls) and the rest just have to figure it out. Super rude over email. Failed the class because of the homework
The professor is cool and very accessible however his class is really hard. Tests were very difficult. Would not take again.
I Hate math but this professor made me want to go to every class. The course alone is really hard if you are not paying attention, but prof. Salgado made lectures VERY clear and FUN. He would make a joke every 10 mins and keep the class engaged. Just be actually present. 4 online tests, 1 optional final. HW is on mymathlab. Take him :)
Prof Salgado is great! I always struggled in math , but with him I actually learned. Very great lecturer , and when he teaches he makes sure you understand it before he moves on. Homework is on pearson,and he teaches questions from the HW, so you can do it while in class also.Super funny and chill guy, 100% recommend him if you want to pass Stats.
Professor Horacio, is a great professor I learned so much from him. His class room energy is always fun and energetic he makes learning statistics fun. Highly recommend. Class based on 4 test optional final and online hw. non proctored.
He's funny and seems to care about his students, but his teaching method is very unorganized. You will learn most of the concepts independently when doing your Pearson homework. If you aren't great at math in general, I would suggest someone who is more organized. If you are good at math, he is a solid choice.
He is nice and cares about you, but sometimes he is too giving and we barely go over the material while in class, felt like a waste of time sometimes. He is good explaining concepts. All hw is due at the end of the semester. Show you care about class and he will help you get there.
Professor Salgado made Stats a very enjoyable class. I have always struggled with it, but for the first time I felt like I understood the class. The tests are nonproctored. He provides reviews in class. 100% recommended.
the class itself is a bit hard but you just need to pay attention, he gives amazing reviews and lecture, he teaches amazing!! super lenient and understandable! 100/10
I am extremely bad at math and in all my previous math courses ive gotten a c. I actually learned in this class! he is a great teacher and if u are honest with him and dont understand something he will explain it. hw on mymathlab and tests are very easy if you study a little. attendance is not mandatory but im honestly so sad for this class to end
Honestly, best professor hands down. I always struggled with math but if you put a little bit of effort, you will get a good grade on the in person exams.
He does not teach at all, and somehow he expects you to pass his exams?
Was amazing! I took him for Algebra 1105 and was amazing! He explain super good and the classes are always fun. I would take him again 100%
He's the best math teacher at MDC. He is amazing and makes his classes really fun but at the same time, he explains every concept step by step to make sure everyone understands. Has good office hours and is accessible outside of class if you need help. Some people don't like him because he won't increase your grade, but he will help you, take him!
Pay attention to this class. Kind of easy if you stay up to date with assignments. He cracks some jokes, some funny some not, and always tries to keep his class engaged
He's a very good teacher
This class is super easy he is not that heavy on homework you only use Pearson and have as many attempts that you need to get a 100 on the work. The test are multiple choice pretty easy if you practice and he tries to make everybody understand the subject. He is also really nice and relaxed.
He is a very acceptable professor. Be aware his lectures are NOT enough to pass the class (at least you are very good at math). Lot of HW and that's 30% of your grade, and then 4 test and an optional final. Test are not that hard 10-12 questions. You need to study a lot by yourself.
Professor Salgado is pretty chill and not a bad teacher. His lectures make sense and are easy to understand and tests are 10-15 questions not too difficult. Very laid back and does not stress out the class.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!
Great professor who makes stats engaging. Use unstuck AI and the free textbook to supplement the lectures. Expect some in-person exams, but manageable with effort.
no comments… just save your time and don't take him.
he's not a disrespectful teacher or anything of the sort, he's actually quite well and funny. only reasons i'm not giving him an amazing rating is because he's not a superb teacher, but he is quite nice. he says what'll be in the test and whatnot. it's very important to make sure you have all the material down before testing.
I took 1105 with Prof Salgado and it was the best decision, he is really nice and he actually was the one who helped me get the A because I had a low B, he is really nice yet the class is really difficult, but thats with any professor,he actually let you use your notes on every test, so make sure to take notes in class. Overall hes amaizing!
Didn't dread going into college algebra at 8:25am every other day. He's a funny teacher and not strict at all. Explains again if you need and offers to go to his office if you still dont understand. Has 4 test the whole semester but homework will help out your grade a lot! Definitely would take him again!
Prof. Salgado made this semester enjoyable. He's kind, patient, and always willing to help. He adjusts the pace for us and even moves exams back when needed. His open-note exams are a huge help. Even at 8:25 a.m., his jokes kept us engaged. A great professor—highly recommend!
He's a pretty chill and laidback teacher and has some funny jokes, the problem is that he's NOT available outside of class. If you have any questions, ask him IN CLASS because he'll RARELY respond to emails. Just don't procrastinate with hw and you should be fine.
Don't take his class
