Doesn't care for students. When you ask for help, he seems incapable of providing it. Horrible communicator and just rude in general.

This professor is very inconsiderate, and does not give enough time for certain assignments. For some context, our family got sick, and I tried to explain the situation to him, but he does not give extended time on assignments that were not able to be completed during the due-date for medical reasons. I do not recommend this professor.

He was not available for tutoring during his office hours. His email responses to questions were often ambiguous and unhelpful. Though his assignments were challenging, slightly ambiguous instructions sometimes made for a poor learning experience. When asked to clarify instructions via email, he answered with mostly quotations of the instructions.

Never available, textbook assignments only, no lectures, vague homework assignments, vague explanations as to why you're graded a certain way. A total of 9 hw assignments and 3 exams (no final exam). For a class that REQUIRES hands on help to understand it, this is inexcusable. Avoid at all costs, one of the worst professors I've had to suffer.

I wouldn't want to take this professor ever again. He has 1 assignment per week and about 3 exams. This class killed my GPA. The instructions for every single assignment weren't clear. Not a very hands-on teacher. Don't take this class or any other class he teaches.

Bro ICL I don't even remember registering for this guy when I checked his reviews I was in SHOCK. I thought I would learn programming essentials but instead he just forces this program called "RAPTOR" onto us every homework so far being Flowcharts that are hard to make cause the program has limited symbols. Don't take this guy.

Probably the worst professor I have ever had. Accidentally submitted the wrong file. When he graded it as 0 I instantly sent him a message and explained I must have submitted the wrong file and sent the real one. Response was "sorry". I asked if he could atleast check for errors in the code and no response. 90%+ on every other assignment, still a B

5 homework assignments, 5 exams. His homework instructions are unclear. He has a homework outline, and the homework asks you to include only 2 things from the outline. Surprise, you need to do the other 3 assignments in the outline. Why is he being paid for doing nothing? His class is a scam. He teaches you nothing. The class is useless.

I would look into another professor. His assignments will be difficult if you do not have prior knowledge of pseudocode/logics/coding. Test: the information came from the book/his lecture slides. He was not involved at all. He notes in the directions what is needed, but in reality, he wants additional work. AVOID HIM!

I had several issues with Professor Galvis. What made it all the worse, was that all of his email responses were only a few words long and in broken English. He also gave me the wrong version of Visual Studio in the course and docked my grade for using it. Don't expect quick responses from him, and know that he will NEVER let you redo homework.
