Incredible teacher! I took all of my math classes with Jose, because he is so clear and makes everything much easier to understand. Cares alot about his students, always there for people, has even come in on days off to help people. I would recommend him for people who usually have trouble with math classes.

Total of 8 quizzes, 4 tests, 1 Final Exam and homework that was done online. Usually there's 1 extra credit question on each quiz/test. It's definitely a hard class and you really do have to study, but Jose is pretty nice and funny. And he lets you retake a test at the end of the semester. The last two quizzes and last test, he lets you use notes

Jose is a great teacher, he is very funny and is willing to help you when you are stuggling. He even does Saturdar study sessions for tests. All you have to do is go to class, pay attention, do the homework and study for quizzes and tests! Your grade is only tests and quizzes so you better study for those! Overall, GREAT PROFESSOR!

I, suck at math. It's been a struggle since they started adding the alphabet to equations. But, Jose's a good math professor man. He uses layman's terms so you can clearly understand the content, and shows you every. single. step. Huge for my slow math people. Grades quizzes perfectly and always gives GOOD feedback.

His lectures are very clear and easy to follow. He's also super funny. The coursework is very straightforward so as long as you do the work you'll be fine. The quizzes come from the homework so even though he doesn't collect the homework it pays off to do it. Highly recommend.

I took this professor when we were forced to move online because of covid-19. He was alright in person before but as soon as we made the change online it became horrible. Hes a hard grader and his test formats were simply awful in an online format. I went from a solid grade all the way into a D. If not for ano credit option I would be furious.

The homework is similar to the test questions. He did study groups on Saturdays for test reviews and helps you with any math problems you're having during office hours. I think his teaching style wasn't clicking for me but later took another professor and passed. He takes the time to ensure that his students understand the subject taught.

I took STATS-125 as an online course and this was by far the most difficult class I had. He only grades quizzes and exams. He also teaches fast but he makes a lot of study sessions outside class. You have to study a lot, pay attention, and do the homework if you want to pass. I would not recommend this professor/course if you get distracted easily.

All in all, Jose was a good professor. Even though we were an online course, he tried to do everything he could to teach us and make us understand the material and constantly give examples for us to learn it and know how to use the equations. The review session and the homework he gives us is important to do because it's a huge help for exams.

I took his Math 125 course for this fall semester 2020, hes nice and chill and is clear about his syllabus, his grading system is whats worse. Participation doesnt matter, neither does turning in any homework, He ONLY grades quizzes and test, so if you dont pay attention in class or study on your own time you will fail.

I took his Statistics class for the Fall 2020 semester and I was a little worried since we were going to do remote learning. His lectures definitely helped a lot and being present allowed me to ask questions any time I wasn't sure of the concept he was teaching. He is a very patient professor and throws humor into his lectures. Take his class!

If Math is a hard subject for you, it's definitely going to be harder online. I just wouldn't recommend him. Nice guy but the tests and quizzes are ughhhh. Doesn't check if you do homework so your whole grade is based off tests. Good luck.

If math is not your subject, this professor isnt for you. Gives a lot of quizzes and tests which are very hard that make up your entire grade but does give you about 2 hours to complete tests. Hes really nice and funny though but if youre not good at math, find another Professor.

The quizzes are based on homework, but he doesn't grade the HW so no points for you. Also no multiply choice on any of the test or quizzes. He rushes through everything or goes off topic. Doesn't answer emails at all. The test are even more difficult, if your not great at math don't that this Professors class!!!

This Professor is the worst Ive ever had, rushes through the material and expects you to understand it in one day. So many quizzes and texts that can cost u your grade. Asked you to do the homework but doesnt give you credit for it. Just dont take this class if your already bad at math.

You learn a lot just by listening to the lectures and everything is very well paced, despite the amount of content covered. I think that most people will apperciate the laid back feel of the class. Homework is not graded and is assigned just to help you with the tests and quizzes.

Professor Jose Hernandez was an awesome professor. I have always been terrible at math, to the point my friend had to take my placement exam to put me into Math 118 lol. The class has 5 exams and 8 quizzes and a writing assignment which covers 4 math topics. Attend every class, order the book, watch the zoom recorded videos and visit tutoring.

Jose is a great math professor. His lectures are clear and he does not mind answering questions. Attend class to do best on assignments. He is active and patient in office hours and email. I enjoyed having him as a math professor everything is laid out for you in terms of grades and expectations. He gives many resources and practice also.

Jose was kind and willing to help if you needed extra practice. He provided extra resources and held review zoom sessions on the weekend before we had an exam. He also offers a retake day at the end of the semester where you can retake any one exam and he took the time to help me calculate how many points I needed to be able to pass his class. :)
