He is practical: does not care much about explaining "concepts" (i.e. deriving formulae) but focuses on problem solving. Therefore, good for engineering/science students, but probably not for math majors. "The easiest course/test ever" is his motto, and he is a man of his word.

He is best math professor hands down. Unlike other professors, he actually puts the effort to teach his students. Personally, Math is my weakest subject. Therefore it takes time for me to process the material. However, this professor makes it easier for students like me to learn by giving study guides that are almost identical to the exams.

Mr. Villalobos, He is a professor at the community college. I tried to get a section transfer to take another statistics course. I dropped out of the class because I couldn't afford to buy a textbook from the book store. I would say his teaching style is unique and I feel like I missed out on a good semester to take fall math 150 course.

Dr. V is such a caring, and well respected professor. I learned so much in his class. For someone who dislikes math he made seem so much simplier. I loved that he is well organized in his lectures. He does fail students if you do not try and turn in your work. Anyone can pass this class as long as you try. I would take him again.

Professor Villalobos is an excellent mathematics professor who truly cares about the success of his students. I took his Statistics class and although math is not one of my subjects, he really helped me narrow it down to the point where I successfully passed. I recommend taking Mr. Villalobos for all types of math.

Let me start by saying, I love this professor's style! He is completely encouraging & constantly says, "This will be the easiest class you have ever taken." Lol. Though Statistics is really hard, he makes every effort to ensure we understand. HW can be turned in after tests, which helps w/studying. Quizzes & participation problems online. ExCredit!

Lectures are on YouTube which I appreciated because it made it very easy to follow along. He reviews exams before the test which was a huge help! You won't regret taking him!

He's a good choice but a bit detached from his students. Though he tries his best to help if you ask questions during lectures. There's weekly homework and participation that he checks for completion and 10 quizzes (3 attempts) and 3 exams where the average can replace the final of your grade on the final will replace the lowest exam score.

Prof V. Is by far the best professor I have had. I was super nervous to take Math 150 (statistics) especially being out of school 20+ years. I jumped in with no refreshers and 16 weeks later I walked away with an A!! I love that his lectures are recorded on You tube to refer back to if needed especially when I was stuck on a problem.

I really liked Dr. V. He never made you feel like a question was too dumb (even if some where). It was a hybrid class so we had to see the lectures before class and then he would go over it. You should be fine as long as you do the homework and staying on top of things, he is flexible but communicate with him. Participate, ask questions, dont miss.

I had Prof. Villalobos for Math150 online and for someone like myself who doesn't thrive in math--he made it seem so simple! He is a phenomenal teacher. I haven't learned math in a long time and his lectures/notes/videos were very detailed & super helpful. I definitely recommend taking him because he makes math seem simpler than what it is.

He does not teach at all, relies on old Youtube videos for lectures that are unclear. It was an easy A, but my advice is for people who have to take a higher level math class beyond his, DO NOT TAKE. His exams and quizzes are short and he gives plenty of time. Accepts late work, but takes forever to grade. Often forgets to post modules.
