He is very unorganized. Professor Magaloni is all over the place. The calendar on canvas is filled with assignments and instead of changing the dates on the calendar he'll verbally say it and change it without telling anyone. He talks a lot about unrelated topics and our hour and half class if over before we can begin our actual class.

This professor is very unorganized constantly posting assignments a day before they were due. He talks a lot during class usually completely off topic. He also never explained to use how to do any of our assignments and just expected us to know how to do it.

Be ready to have lessons and homework that isnt even explained well. This professor will talk about the lack of sleep he got instead of telling us a major essay is due tomorrow that he will grade critically. Also no need to be on time since this professor runs 10-15 mins late every. Day. Do NOT TAKE HIM!!!!! Please theres much better professors.

Professor Magaloni isnt a good professor overall. Every time he gives a lecture he goes off topic, very unorganized. Talks about irrelevant topics, and hard to hear. Gives tons of work but never explains the work to its entirety. Didnt help with most of my questions. DONT take him.

Professor Magaloni is kind and intelligent. Many can assume he goes off topic or whatever, but what he says is actaully enlightening if you care to learn about the world we live in. He can sometimes be unorganized, but I give him a pass because of his passion, attidude and leniency. Do what you're suppose to do and you will pass with an A.

A lot of people seemed really confused in his class but everything that due is on Canvas, if there's a homework due, just look. Very understanding, but communication is key. Gave me us plenty of chance to redo essays if we got a low grade on them.

I took this class my first semester at Vista. Professor Magaloni is kind of all over the place. I never knew what was going on because he was so disorganized in assigning work. Many times he would literally just recite his poems that he wrote and that was all we would do the entire class. Overall, would not recommend unless you want to be confused.

Professor Magaloni is one of those few people you meet who is very passionate about teaching and getting his students excited about literature. He is extremely friendly and personable, gives great feedback on assignment, and made each section we covered fun. What I really liked about his teaching style is he allows you to develop your own ideas.

He's ab awful teacher. There were tons of assignments, with little to no directions given. Finding what little he gave was awful. It was all a mess and I hated every minute of that class. I love literature and he just made it awful. On top of the bad instructing, he graded super harshly and didn't set up clear expectations. It was mostly guessing.

The Professor is a nice guy but unorganized. If he is going to continue to teach he needs a TA to plan his lessons. I do not know if it age or what, but our assignments came out often the day before or day due. His instructions were hard to understand. I don't mind hard work, but when the instructions require office hours every week, it is not cool

Ignacio was completely incomprehensible during his lectures, or what you would call them, most of them consisted of anecdotal rants that provided nothing to the lesson. His instructions were very unclear and actively insulted my intelligence when it comes to essay writing. If you are Neurodivergent I do not recommend at all.

Not a good professor at all. His instructions are very confusing and he has not changed them in years, he said so himself. Very rude when asking for help and is not good with clarifying course confusion. I would not take him again and I should have checked the rate my professor rating on him before signing up for his class because they were right.

Awful his instructions are terrible and the lectures for class have nothing to do with what we are working on and just rants about random things for a long time. The instructions given out were very confusing leaving a lot of questions unanswered I would 100% not take this professor again.

Talks to himself and laughs at his own jokes. Barley any teaching is involved. If you use canvas you know that the modules go by the weeks. We are in week 4 so module 4. What we need for an essay is a link but he puts it in module 1 for what reason? I don't know. Very confusing and makes us try to find it instead of putting in order like humans.
