Real nice guy, makes many good jokes, and takes the time to go over any problems the students have. Tests are easy as long as you study his pretest which is similiar to the one he gives in class.
He's a great teacher! Just as long as you do your homework and study you'll do just fine. He gives study guides before the exam, so take advantage of that because it's exactly like the exam, but in different numbers.
he's cool

He's a great teacher. Gives you extra credit for going to his office hours.
Very helpful and explains things in detail if you don't understand. Gives you examples of test questions beforehand and reviews them.
hes awesome, funny, and thorough. he doesnt overload you and you usually end early. the quizzes and pretests are in groups so you understand the material alot better when the test comes.
Great class. He is very funny and it keep things interesting. If you do your work you do aaaaa okay in this class.
His class is fun and he is very helpful in explaining the subject. Gives a lot of extra credit and will help in anyway to pass the class. Very nice teacher! Take his class!!!
Good math teacher
Mr. DeGuzman is so awesome! He makes sure that all the material is understood, and he jokes around with his students. He is a really nice guy, and is willing to help whenever possible. Definitely recommended! (& if you walk into class late, expect a very strange look on his face)
Great teacher! Has a very sarcastic sense of humor. Gives as much extra credit as possible in his gradeing techniques. You will do great as long as you study.
He's a good teacher. Kinda funny. Very easy Class.
he was hot
I have the highest respect for this man . He always has time for you. If you want an easy class do not go to school. flip burgers .you know all those people that are rude in the world , they all took easy classes and are still dummies!!!!
he was really cool. he makes jokes when you least expect them and he picks on students but in a totally fun way non harmful way. his class was always funt o go to and he was a good teacher. ps. count how many times he says "ok".
good teacher helps u out so you can past you should take him for a good carefee time
SIMPLY THE BEST MATHMATETICS INSTRUCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. De Guzman is among the creme de la creme of proffessors at RCC. HE IS A VERY EASY GRADER. He makes sure that your good in the class and helps you when your doing bad. In my whole life I have never gotten a grade higher than a "C" in math and deguzman gave me an "A"
Good teacher, he goes a little fast sometimes. But he's easy on the homework and gives extra credit and drops a test, which has been really helpful :) and he's funny.
Pretty good teacher, sometimes hard to understand but has great humor and will always help you if you need it. Tests are a little hard but hes an easy grader. overall good teacher, i recommend him.
He moved quicky and was hard to understand. but i found him to be very funny.
Moves very fast, but he's funny. He wants you to pass this class. He will give you every chance he can to make it easier on you, but again, very very fast. You have to practically yell at him to have him slow down. But once you do, he will take his time and explain it and he’ll make some amusing joke while he does.
the teacher was not very helpful. alway wanted to leave early. his cell phone would ring during our class. I feel like I didn't learn as much as I should have.I wouldn't recommened anyone to take his class. to pass his class I had people at my work help me understand it.
the teacher is very helpful and easy to pass in his class. he is very concern with the students grade. i will recommend him and he is one of the best teacher that i had. maybe those people who said that he is not good are the people who failed his class.
This guy is a trip. Funny as hell, gives extra credit like giving kids candy, and drops one of your exams. If you get on his good side, (not butt-kissing) just be cool with him, then he will help you out at the end of the semester. He likes to STARE at you in a funny way, (like dogging you), but its his way of being funny. Highly recommended.......
Wonderful Teacher! Algebra is my most difficult subject & I received an "A" in his class! He is extremely funny, yet very helpful. He does move quite fast, but if you tell him then he will definitely slow down and explain the problem quite thoroughly! Great guy, great teacher. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My third math teacher and by far the best and easiest. Offers lots of extra credit and drops your lowest test and quizzes. He's entertaining too.
He goes way too fast during lectures. Makes fun of people. Leaves early, sometimes doesn't show up, and he doesn't care if you learn. He's there for a pay check. You willn't learn a thing unless you get a tutor. If you care, trust me, take someone else.
He teaches very good, easy to understand, very much into the subject. I will highly recommend Mr. Deguzman for all the Math classes.
Mr. De Guzman is a good teacher. I hate math before but when I took his class I learned a lot and I passed my math class. This is the third time I took this class and this is the first time I passed it. I will highly recommend Mr. De Guzman.
He is easy has a little bit of an accent but what teacher doesn't at RCC haha. He teaches a little fast sometimes and is moody but in a funny way. I am taking him for all my math classes possible :]
HE IS THE HARDEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD AND THE REASON I TOOK THIS CLASS IS CAUSE ALL THE COMMENTS HE GOT BEFORE MINE.. SO I AM HERE TO TELL THE TRUTH.. THERE IS SO MUCH FREAKIN' HOMEWORK AND THE TEST ARE REALLY HARD AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM AT ALL.. OH AND HE YELLS AT YOU WHEN YOU ASK FOR HELP.. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER IS VERY NEGATIVE...
Mr. De Guzman is a good teacher, i am recommending him for all your math classes, very helpful and funny. Those people who doesnt like him are probably those people who are failing in his class. I will recommend him 100%. He is really good.

Mr. DeGuzzman is a great math teacher. I have always had trouble with math and he explained it clearly and was very helpfull. He does not give out to much homework, and anyways the homework is not very hard. His tests are pretty easy and he prepares you for them. Anyone who says that he is a hard teacher has to be an idiot.
This professor was without a doubt the single worst math teacher I have ever had in my life. His accent was barely comprehendable. He basically taught from the book and I felt that I did not learn much and that is why I did not take math for two years for fear I would run into someone like him. Plus, he was a total **** and was not empathetic
Best math instuctor I have ever had. He goes fast, but you can tell him to slow down. He gives practice tests before a test that are exactly like the test except for different numbers...so study the practice tests and make sure you ask him for help if you don't understand a problem on there! Quizzes are in groups. Highly recommended.
Mr. De Guzman, thanks for being there, I learned at lot of things in Math, youre the BEST!!! I will recommend you to all the students who will take Math..... KEEP IT UP>>>>>>>
He is the best instructor that I ever had....
Deguzman is a great teacher, and you should have no problem passing this class if you have an IQ over 80 (if you dont you shouldnt be going to college) Great teacher, very funny, I would take him for any math class any day.
His mumbling accent is very hard to understand, and he tends to add/subtract/multiply/divide his numbers outloud, so it's very hard to know where he is in the lectures. DeGuzman also goes through the lectures extremely fast, so if you're slow with math, this is NOT the class for you. I ended up having to teach MYSELF math from the textbook.
Good class. He can be a hardass if he's in a bad mood. When he's tired, he lets you out way early. Very easy to pass the class with the setup of it. Gives study guides before tests, gives 10 points extra credit if you have perfect attendance. Hw is due in sections before the test. Can go fast so tell him to slow down. Also,he will def. make you lau
I honestly hated math but when I took his class, it was so easy that I managed to get an A. Just take notes in class, pay attention and do the BOOK WORK. I swear, just do ALL the work and you'll get an A. His accent might be weird but he explains everything well. He's the type of teacher that is extremely concise and simple. Can't wait 'til math35.
I was able to learn from him he isn't that hard to understand. I ended up with an A in both math 35 and math 52 with him. He's also pretty entertaining and likes to wear gold jewelry.
Clear and straight to the point, very easy but he is sometimes to fast to expain himself which creates people to get lost, other then that tests are VERY easy; he gives out test reviews which are almost exactly the test
A great math teacher.
Easy, funny, and gives tons of extra credit, if you are slow take tutoring right before the test week and you will do fine. Only way to fail is by slacking too much.
he is a good professor, i will recommend him to my friends and family.
Great professor. he really knows what he is doing. i took his class over the summer and it was an easy A, but then again, im good at math. he has an easy going personality, and he creates a fun atmosphere in the class.
HEY MATH CANT BE A PIECE OF CAKE, THIS TEACHER IS UR BEST CHOICE IF U WANT TO PASS HIS CLASS IS EASY GIVES ALOT OF X-CREDIT & PRACTICE TEST IF U THINK THATS HARD- GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL
very funny teacher! very easy and straight forward! he goes fast soo pay attention! it is hard to fail his class
Interesting guy. Summer session, was already short so he was going super fast. Plenty of extra credit available, recieved an A, dont know if I really did that well though. recommended
He is a good teacher. His sense of humor is a bit sarcastic, but still fun. He is willing to accomidate people on taking tests later as long as you contact him ahead of time or present proof of your situation. Anyhow, take him. He teaches clearly and he's pretty funny.
This teacher is awesome. If you're looking for an easy math class and a funny teacher take his class. I took him for math 52 and 35 and barely had to try and still got a B and a C. Once you get on his good side you're good for the semester.
He is a one of a kind teacher, funny, sarcastic, but always seems to have the lessons taught in a clear and concise manner. I really hate math, and he seemed quick pace at first, but you learn to adapt quickly. He's is very attentive to questions and/or whenever a student is in need of assistance. Attendance is mandatory!!
he is really cool teacher, i like his style and very clear in teaching, you will learn a lot of math topics. very good and i will recommend him to my friends and family.
GREAT TEACHER! And anybody who's hatin is plain STUPID! Easy class just know the study guide well and you will pass every test with an A.... :>
he is very good teacher, i salute you professor.
bad teacher he wont make sense if your bad at math. u need the book and just study the practice test. you will defitnaly pass with a c if you show up to class and do ur homework even if you get d's and f's in your class stick with the course he'll get you by
He is a funny guy. It is very hard to understand what he is saying! By the end of the semester you will be able to understand him. He didn't like me, one time he got up from his seat and yelled in my face!!! He would pick on other people in the class too. But hey, I still got a B in the class.
I took him for the fall of 2007. He is very easy, makes the work super clear. He is very very funny he picked on me the whole semester, dont take him seriously when he picks on you or you will get burned, he picks on everyone so u laugh a lot in his class, homework is due at every test, i really really suggest you take him for mat 35

very sarcastic, will pick on you no matter what, but thats only to make sure your paying attention. he is pretty damn funny though. i got picked on ever day of his class. but it helped me keep on track. home work is easy and he hardly ever grades it. its only due on test dates. and there is only 4 test. be an average student, and your fine.
he is very good and excellent professor that i had in math class. i took his winter class and he is very helpful to the students. he teaches very clear and you can understand even though its kind of fast. i adore you and thanks professor.
I will just add to his endless praise. He is great! He moves a bit faster than some math prof. but he's efficient, nonetheless. I did all my hw in class after he went over the "objectives" and the practice tests are almost identical to his real ones...dont understand how anyone can fail.He really wants his students to succeed and he is funny foreal
Truly a fantastic math teacher. He will drop your lowest test and quiz grades. To go far in this class, practice the study guides and get the solutions manual. He will go out of his way to make sure every student understands the work. If you are bad at math like me, or you are a master, you will enjoy this teacher. He is also funny as hell.
Mr. DeGuzman is the best math teacher i've ever had. You learn math no matter what, he makes class interesting,and his humor is unpredictable. Don't be late because he will stare you dwn and just do your work, find the right quiz group,and pay attention......You're good frm there...
Didn't understand him ever.
Great teacher. Really helpful. Hilarious! This class went by sooo fast because he was cracking jokes the entire time. TAKE HIM. If he taught Statistics, I would take him again.
he is very good teacher. keep it up. i am recommending this teacher.
Mr. Deguzman was the best! Very funny & nice! He might pick on students, but that's just his way of entertaining the class. He taught WELL & made Math VERY EASY! The study guides helped A LOT! His accent wasn't as bad as others say it. It reminded me of my roots! I took the Final today, & got an A in the class! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! Thanks Sir!
He knows his stuff and he goes very fast and he is funny at times. Quizzes are assigned in groups so show up to get the grade.Do your homework it;s mando.
He is a great teacher. He makes math fun and easy. If you hate math, you will love it after his class. Highly recommended!!!! Whoever said they didn't understand him is just plain stupid and probably never showed up to class, he is crystal clear. Show up, take notes, do the homework, get an A. I got an A.
I took Deguzman because of his excellent ratings. He teaches fast and to the point, and this teaching style may make it hard for people that suck at math (Like me!). Do the homework, turn it in early, do the quizzes. Tests are multiple choice and almost identical on study guide. STUDY FOR THE TESTS! Releases class early sometimes.
very sarcastic. heavy accent but easy to understand. i reccomend taking this instructor.
he is an excellent professor. i am recommending him to those people who are taking math classes.
good teacher.
He is a great professor and keeps class really interesting. He covers the material pretty fast but if you can keep up with him, its not that bad at all. He is really quick about answering your questions. Attendence is mandatory, i missed two classes and missed a lot of information so class is important. His tests are easy too just study for them.
Yeah...bit of a jerk in my opinion, but if you work hard, he'll get you by. He picks on students and makes fun of them, but he's not as funny as he thinks. I'm not saying this because I failed, I got a B in the class and still don't like him much. But as a teacher, he's okay
never understood the guy! got a D in the class. took it over summer with another teacher got a B+
i really understood him even though its a summer class which is too fast for me, he teaches really clear and the student who doesnt understand him are stupid like the comment earlier. he is a good math teacher that i ever had. you can easily get a good grade if you study and do your homework.
Good teacher, he removes your lowest test score, so getting a good grade is easy. Helpful and fun.
He is a good teacher I learned a lot but he is kind of mean sometimes. He picks on his students and makes fun of them. Not so cool. But the class is ok
He is 1 of the best math teachers I've taken for intermediate algebra. His way of teaching was excellent. He did have a bit of an accent, but it was easy 2 understand. He would keep the class entertained w/his funny comments. I took him this summer 2008, and almost everyone who enrolled was still there at the end. Impresseive!
okay i'll be the first honest person. He lectures way too fast. he talks fast and will make fun of you no matter what!! he will pick on you!! he let the class out early almost all the time. YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH HOMEWORK or expect to fail. MUST GO TO CLASS!!
His explanation is clear. English is my second language, but I can understand everything. I got A+ so far. He gives practice test before real test. Thus, it makes the test so easy. Quizzes and homeworks are easy too. He gives a lot HW, but in a long period of time.
he is very good mathematics professor, explains very well and clear like a crystal. excellent and outstanding person.
HE'S SOO FUNNY! YOU CAN GET AN A IF YOU KEEP UP!!! MUST GO TO CLASS ALL MEETINGS!!!
great teacher! explains everything well and his tests and quizzes are super easy. he gives practice tests which are like the tests. very funny guy! i would strongly recommend his class.
This class was so easy, I couldnt believe it. Hes funny, hes accent is not bad at all. Homework on every chapter, but if you attend mathlab you can do it there, get help from the tutors and he will reward you with extra credits. I believe homework was extra credit too and some of his quizzes were as well. Hated math before, now I love it!
HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! JUST SEEING HIS NAME MAKES ME LAUGH! FUNNY AS HECK! HE LIKES TO PICK ON HIS STUDENTS BUT ITS ALL IN FUN! KIND OF HAS ALOT OF HOMEWORK! JUST MAKE SURE ITS DONE ON TIME! NO PROCRASTINATION! NOT MY FAVORITE SUBJECT BUT I WOULD RECOMEND HIS CLASS...PRETTY HELPFUL TEACHER AS WELL.
He is trully a riot... awsome teacher, very understanding if he see's you put in the effort... make him know your name and you will pass. CLASS IS MANDATORY.. likes to mess with his student but all in fun, and he does like men lol
MR DEGUZMAN is a great proffesor if you need to pass math 35 take his class promise u will pass just do all your homework, group quizes, be on time he dislikes tardiness and be prepared with ur calculator during exams. He lectures fast just let him know and he will slow down. He has a great personality best proffesor at Norco teaching math 35.
He's a great professor! He tends to pick on the same people and make fun of them. Its hilarious but just don't take it personal. His teaching was very clear. He goes over any question you have on the homework. The practices tests saved me in that class. Use it as your guide it helps so much. A lot of homework but it helps. Great professor!!
One of the best professors I've ever had. Hilarious, knowledgeable, & patient with people who don't understand the concepts on the first run. Turn in your homework & study the practice tests! They're almost identical. I strongly recommend this teacher!
Best teacher that i have had yet at RCC. I hate math and he makes it interesting and fun to learn. he makes jokes bout random stuff but is very nice. buy the book you need it.& he gives study guides for each test that help a lot! definitely take him!
Great teacher. Math is very difficult for me and he was very good at explaining. Do the homework for points and go over the practice tests! You will do great on the tests if you study the practice test! He made math more interesting and I passed the class after in being the 3rd time I had to take it to move on. I would highly recommend him.
Best teacher to take for math hands down. Pretty funny and and laid back.
great teacher...very playful helpful
Funny guy, but can get pretty grumpy at times. He explains the material way too fast. If your good at math, then he's perfect to take, but if you struggle I would suggest taking someone else because he just speeds through the material.
I had this teacher for Math 35. I am currently in his Math-11 class. Love this teacher, would take him again. Pluses: Tests are IDENTICAL to the study guides he hands out (EASY), he's fun, sarcastic and collects HW (which forces you to do it). Minuses: he moves fast (so you better ask Q's or study material you don't get) Very easy class and fun.
Math 35/11 I got A! If you attend the class, do homework and memorize the study guide, you'll have an A. Don't take his jokes personal.At first he does not seem nice, but you'll see after he gets to know you what a great guy he is. His phrase that I will take with me forever:"If you got a F don't panic!If you're still breathing there's still hope."
i have never cried from laughter in another class. De guzman is a great teacher. He's comical and takes the edge of math off. strongly recommended that you take him if you don't like math
Very fast in his teaching. THe material is hard to comprehend especially on tests, but if you study off his study sheet that he gives to you prior to the test, you will be guaranteed a better grade if you didn't have the study sheet avail. Homework a must, but easy. Must attend his class. Doesn't like it when people miss or leave early from class
Professor De Guzman is the best, his class is fun, and you do not get bored or tired. He likes to makes fun of everyone, and makes funny faces when he makes mistakes. You have to do your homework in order to pass his class and all of his quizzes. The tests are easy if you study the study guide that he gives two weeks before each test. He is the bes
He is easy to understand, but at times he can go too fast. This leaves the class confused at times.
Great teacher! I DO NOT understand math at all and it is my worst subject but i got a B in the class because he teaches in a way that is easy to understand. Gives good notes and lots of examples. im definitely gonna take him next semester!
Teacher was great. Homework is a must in his class. its real easy. You have to show up everyday. He always cracks filipino jokes...If u study the study guide before the test, you will score high. Very helpful. just dont be rude in his class. but very funny.
I have always hated math and had trouble passing it. Mr. DeGuzman made it easy and fun to learn. He does poke fun at some students, but it is all in good humor. I laughed and learned so much in this class. I would tell anyone to take him.
Haha Deguzman was hilarious and for someone that hates math made it quite interesting, makes fun at his students but in good nature also plays high limit blackjack he said hes pretty good anyways recommend taking his class
Relatively easy. Is a bit sarcastic, but funny in a dry, odd way. I've had him twice and have passed his classes when I couldn't get through any other professor's math class. Do your work and try to get high Fs on the test and you should be fine. Definitely recc'd for people who have trouble passing math. Adore him! :)
Only class i looked forward to attending. I learned more in the few months here than i ever did in high school. Does like to pick on students, particularly males, but all in good humor. Likes to pick on students for looking out the window, claiming they are looking for snakes.
Is an alright teacher. All notes are given on power point. He talks very fast. He is very rude and abrasive. Be prepared to write fast and try not to ask questions, he will be little you. He loves to play Farmville on Facebook, he plays it while he is reading the power points.
he is very good teacher..you are crazy if you will not like his teaching style, i will recommend him to my friends and family.i salute you professor
I took Deguzman over summer. The class was demanding but very doable. Mr. Deguzman makes fun of his students, but it's all in good fun. You get practice tests, group quizzes, and extra credit for signing up for the Math lab. I would also recommend getting a soulutions manual, it helped a lot.
Very good professor he's super funny and makes the class interesting. His test reviews are exactly the same like his test but just different numbers and good at explaing. I would recommend him for sure
i absolutely LOVE mr. deguzman. he's hilarious! like beyond hilarious.i always looked forward to going to class. As far as easiness, im not gona say it was super easy because it wasnt but its not bad either. you just need to do your homework. thats for sure. and just show up to class and be ready for notes and his tests are just like the studyguide
Took him this winter. i swear that class was comedy hour. he was hilarious. would definately recommend him. you wont get bored.
BEST MATH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD, BAR NONE. Deguzman is super chill, super funny, and super easy to learn from(even with a thick accent). Made class interesting every time i was there and never lost interest. If you can I would HIGHLY recommend signing up for his class.
If you aren't able to do critical thinking and teach yourself at times, don't take this class. De Guzman moves extremely quickly. He's extremely funny and sarcastic (sometimes his jokes are "colorful") but you will get out early almost every day. Do the HW and ask questions/take lab and you will get an A no problem Easy A Get out early makes it fun
"Likes to pick on students for looking out the window, claiming they are looking for snakes." I just wanted to LOL at this comment below cos its so true.
I took his winter session. Great teacher, explains very well. Gives study guides for tests, the study guides are just like the test (he just changes the numbers). HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR!
De Guzman is the best Teacher that I have in my whole life. He is very good Professor here in RCC and no one can beat him. I would like to take him again if I can. I AM RECOMMENDING HIM TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Amazing teacher! He knows how to teach and knows it with his cocky ways. Very fun. Very interesting. Very EASY
He is an AMAZING teacher+hilarious=FAN AND LIVELY class!Can't wait to take him on math 11...Ms.Ahmed:)
As others have said, he is easy going and loves to joke. He does go a little bit fast; but if you learn how to do the problems in the study guide there's no way you won't get an A on all the tests. He also drops the lowest test score. A little application should get you an A and you will laugh in class for sure!

What an amazing teacher, he will help you in anyway he can! He likes to joke around a lot and is really funny! Dont be afraid to ask for help, he may look intimidating but he is a teddy bear!
He is Awesome very funny he will keep you entertain while you learn. He has been the first Professor to every break the problem down to easy understanding.I enjoyed his class so much I'm taking his Math 11. He is a Great Instructor you must attend IT'S MANDATORY. I highly recommend taking his class.He give you plenty of time to study for the test.
He is funny and sarcastic but overall I liked him. The summer class was intense but must learn in fast paced and I hate math and suck at it. I got a C in which I cool with because honestly I am shocked I passed. I did all the homework and he uses study guide just changes numbers.I did what he said to run to the nearest church and pray 2 pass. LMAO!
Easy class if you do well with Math. He gives 4 tests and will drop the lowest of the 4, if you have A's on the first 3 you don't have to take the 4th. Then there is a final non-cumulative. He gives study guides that are almost spot on to the tests so if you study them, you will get an A. Do not take him if you struggle with Math, he teaches fast!
just do your homework and you will be fine!.. hes a really funny teacher as well...so just go to class and do your homework and enjoy it :)
Some people like him.
very good professor...i will recommend him to all my friends and family. i really really like him as my prof in math
Great teacher...Very funny as well, I would recommend him to everyone I know :)
He is fast, but! He makes it really easy to pass the tests! You just have to study that "yellow paper" and do your homework! The class is FUN, i didn't miss a single class :))
Relatively easy class if you attend class. good teacher and funny!
The class isn't easy!!! He goes through everything very fast and gives a lot of homework(that you have to submit on the test day).I studied from the book and did my homework based on that, bc i would not understand it 100% in the class. The test's are easy if you study and understand the study guide he gives you.Got an A but it wasn't an easy one!!
Awesome teacher, I have always struggled with math and was able to get a decent grade. He's very helpful and gives great study guides for the test.
This teacher is realy easy, has an accent, but his accent brings humor to the class, his comments are halarious, his practice tests are exactly as the tests, gives opportunities for extra credit, but he gives a lot of HW, but the book isn't required or used in class, he's a great teacher and I highly recomend him
i love this teacher... for some students he teaches fast, for me was perfect. Also he makes the class funny, and interesting. I am gonna miss him, specially his funny comments. Don't try to miss any of his classes, or you may get lost. He helps a lot...
awesome teaching...explains things well..group quizzes..and study guides completely mirroring the test!
easy! easy!..for those of us that do well in math. Yes, he lectures fast, if asked he will slow down. If u need every math step to be broken down than he is not your type of professor. Alot of hw, but gives practice test and its exactly like the real test.
I got an A in the class. He knows his stuff but sometimes moves too quickly. Lots of homework but if you do your homework, keep up with the class, and dont fall behind, you should be able to get a decent grade. I got a good grade but I it definitely wasnt easy. Maybe its just the nature of math.
make sure you understand the practice study guid because its the same problemsbut different #s... i would go to tutoring n work out every single problem . days before the test i would work them out... just understand the study guide n ull pass... hw just bs it
He moves extremely quickly.He gives a lot of Homework, but he does grade the HB and gives you credit. The quiz's help ur grade a lot, the quiz's are group quiz's and he doesn't take it until the group gets 100% on the quiz. The quizs 100% scores help ur grade in the end. The practice test is the same as the real test just with different #'s.
HE IS A GREAT TEACHER!!! he teaches really well. he has quizes and he helps you on the quizes. the tests are the same as the quizes! highly recommend him!
Prof Deguzman added me when there was no room. The school didnt agree but it's teachers like him that go out of their way to help the students that make a difference. DeGuzman is the bomb! The school needs more teachers like him!
Deguzman is a really funny guy! He definitely keeps class interesting! But beware: he moves along ver quickly so if you have major probs with math dont take him. He gives you group quizzes..4 tests, drops the lowest one..he is very funny with his dry humor. You must attend class to do well but youll have fun!
Mr. DeGuzman is the best teacher Ive ever had! If your taking a math class ever..Take his!
Greatest math teacher ever! Makes things sooo simple for you and always lets you out of class early! Hes very flambouyant and makes class fun! His tests arent difficult just put in some time and youll be good!
Well, the way he teaches might be a little to fast for those who have no interest/knowledge of the subject. But its not something that cant be followed with a little practice. hes is very funny of a prof (he messes with me alot).. Recommended.
Great teacher! Hes sarcastic and class isnt boring. I like his math class so much im taking him again for collage algebra. His test are super easy because he hands out practice test that are exactly like the real ones. I highly recomend taking his math classes!!
He moves fast, but he will slow down if you need it. He gives a decent amount of homework which is due before each exam. Group quizzes help you grade, and he won't let you leave until you get 100%. He is hilarious, and he makes the class more bearable with his humor.
He's a pretty cool guy, just do the homework and study! study! study! College Algebra is hard but studying before the exams is crucial. I got an A in the class!
OMG such a GOOD TEACHER! i took him over winter! he taught precal so well! study guides were exactly like tests, lectures were easy to follow, he had hw due, and they were easy. He had quizzes in groups and wouldnt take them till you had a perfect score BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!!! TAKE HIM!
If you never have to take another math class ever again and just want an easy A, take him, but don't expect to actually learn anything. On the other hand, if you are going to be taken other math classes after his you will likely be very under-prepared.
great teacher! fast paced tho so if you are having trouble understanding, be sure to talk to him one on one. he will explain to you. do not like math, but this class was very easy for me. do the homework. follow the study guides. should not be hard. if you miss class, you cannot make up the group work that is assigned at the end of each class.
A sarcastic man who likes to pick on every student. He's a great teacher though. I had him for 35 & 11. He adds beyond his roster number and is willing to help a broke college student out if you can't afford another textbook.
After not being in the school mode for a VERY long time, Im glad I got his claSS. This guy is THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD! Take his class! I'm looking forward to having him again next semester just because he's the Teacher!!
He moves FAST!Even more so in sum.I'm not the brightest person in math, but I managed to get a high B, almost A. The way he has structured the class made it easier like the study guides & the group quizzes is a big boost. The h.w he doesn't even check if you did it step by step, he just cares if you did it. He is super funny and makes it fun going.
This class is way too easy. Just study the study guide and you'll get an A. The study guide is EXACTLY the same as the test, yes, I mean it, exactly. At first I did not like him but after that, everything was fine. He is friendly indeed after you get to know him.
Awesome teacher! Have always been an A math student. NEVER gotten anything other than an A in all my math courses ever taken. so he didn't give me the A, i earned it. Do your homework! Go to class! Do the Study Guide! his tests are self explanatory, no tricks. multiple choice! if math is easy, his class will be easy. if its hard, he will help!
Such a great professor, very kind, cares about his students. I love him very much.
If you suck at math this is the class to take. i did nothing and still got a C. just do the simple extra credit and turn in homework.
Deguzman was a very good instructor, he kept class entertaining and was good at explaining the ideas used in the class.Sometimes his accent can be a bit hard to understand but after two classes you will be fine with it. He goes a bit quick through lectures but will slow down and help you if you need it. Overall he is a good instructor.
Took college algebra over winter. Easiest class ever. All I did was study and did good. If you study, you will do fine. Easy as that.
I had Deguzman for Math 35 and 11. I got an A in both classes. He likes to add as many as he can on the waitlist and is very humorous. If you show up to class, listen, and do your work, this class should be a breeze. Straightforward tests with no surprises. Possibly the best teacher in Norco!
Excellent teacher. If you have difficulty understanding him, watch Johnson's videos online. Do all homework and even if you're bad at math, you can get a B.
Great teacher. He makes math simple and understanding. You can learn a lot from him you just have to ask. He makes math easy for the students who struggle. By far one of the best teachers out there.
Love his class, I recommend him to everyone who is going to take Mat35 in Norco.
Love Mr. D! I dislike Math, but i really enjoyed his class. Although he tends to teach at a high speed, just tell him to slow down. Dont be scared to ask if you dont understand. He's pretty funny dont take it personal. If you dont like Math make sure you get help and do your HW dont slack it will kick you in the rear in the end. Good luck!
Great teacher! Gives 3 test but drops 1. Opportunity for extra credit. Goes fast though, but will explain. Really funny makes class enjoyable.
Super easy class he knows what he does and helps you a lot if you need explaining he will do that in class before we move on to the next thing
Omg he doesnt care about his students. He goes so fast, literally, he doesnt like if yiu ask question. He will pick on you, exams are same as practice test but he doesnt bother to slow down. Dont expect an easy A. Im basically teaching myself. Believe me if you dont like math and want to be explain more, dont take him. He wont do that, I promise U.
Worst math teacher. Don't take him.
He is sometimes hard to understand due to his accent. He goes through the lecture fast but if you ask him to slow down he will. If you do the homework early he gives extra credit. He is a good teacher. This is not an easy class because its math, but if you do the work you can get a decent grade. I got a B and I am not good in math.
Took him for MAT-35 also. He moves fast and doesn't always use class time effectively. If the class doesn't want to ask questions he will move on. But.. He knows what he is talking about and tries to help the class understand. And if you come after class and bug him, he will help you quite well. His office hours are helpful. Would recommend.
I had him for my past 2 math classes (MAT 35, MAT 11) hes a real easy teacher as long as you do the homework and follow the practice test. the practice test is almost the same as the test and final.
Easy teacher is you do what he says. the homework gets a little tough if you don't do it right away. Test are same as the review and he drops one of the tests.I would definitely recommend him.
Great teacher. Took him for Elementary Algebra and now I'm in his intermediate. He really wants you to PASS! Extra credit is given when you turn homework in early and he gives you a study guide that is EXACTLY what the test is, just different numbers. I'm awful at math but he gives me a lot of hope. If you make the effort, you will pass.
Now attend USC and can say he is a better professor than the ones here. He taught me well and I appreciate it.
I have taken him for Math 35 and Math 11 as long as you go to class, and go over his study guides you will ace the class.
Horrible teacher. If you struggle with math this class may not be for you. He talks too fast, has a thick accent, his lessons are very unclear and he teaches straight out of the book. all you do is copy it in your notes. worthless teacher.
His class is not hard at all. If you practice the study guide you'll ace the test. I have gotten 2 perfect scores on the test. you have to understand the concept on how to do the problemand once you do it's simple. Take notes, do the homework, and practice the study guide. He does have an accent. He's pretty hilarious at time. I enjoyed his class.
Awesome professor, I took him because my friend recommended him. He's hilairious, well teaching, and know how to make the class have a good time and learn. I do say though try not to miss class if your not good at reading a math nbook or else youll have a tough time. All in all I wanna take him for college algebra no doubt.
Gives lots of extra credit opportunities to raise your grade. Study guide is exactly like the test. He goes VERY FAST, pay attention and show up to class
He's chill, My only problem was His accent couldn't understand him half the time, went way to fast didn't really slow down unless you asked. You have to pay attention. Sarcastic at times. If you're a fast learner and math is kinda your thing then he's perfect for you.
Pros: This class has extra credit, team quizzes , and multiple choice tests(which are exactly like study guide) that helps you pass. With effort you can pass just fine. Cons: Deguzman teaches too fast and doesn't seem to care about the students understanding the material. This makes doing the HW harder. He is also very condescending and rude.
He's a great professor!! i took him for winter semester and i enjoyed his class! He's very helpful and explains the subject very well. I recommend taking his class :)
Good teacher
Deguzman is a good teacher for me he only has 4 test inculding the final will give you EC just for turning your homework early he is a bit fast for pple who learn more slowly his test are multiple choice he gives you a study guide ahead of time and his actual test is the same as the study guide expect different numbers good way to pass the Math :)
A great teacher to talk to, but do your homework, study, and put in effort to your time. Then you'll pass this class. Its not whether its difficult, but If you try hard everyday its what counts toward passing this class. The test are challenging, so you MUST pay careful attention on the types of steps in equations/expressions.
He's a great teacher but can also be sarcastic and can be rude sometimes. He gives extra credit if you turning homework a class early, so do it, it really helps your grade. Just do your homework and study for tests and guaranteed you'll pass. He let's you miss the last test only if you get good grades on your first ones. Just be careful.
If you suck at math I would not recommend. He's fast and like other commenters have pointed out he is rude at times. He's good at math and knows what he is doing that is for sure but when it comes to teaching his writing is sloppy on the board and he's already erasing.
Yes! i knew i was in good hands the first day i was in this class. I suck at Math, but i got a little better since i started this class. I hated Math, but now i love it because he is always there to assist me, though he has an accent. I never had an A in my Math classes, but i currently have an A now. Thanks for changing my perception about Math!!!
If you already know Algebra then this class is well presented and probably easy. But if you haven't been in a Math class in years this teacher teaches fast and doesn't like questions. He wants to get through the lesson and have the class leave. If you need help he is there but intimidating even thought he loves to crack jokes.
Helpful and answered any questions in a timely manner. Explained the material clearly and made it easier to understand the concepts.
Received my grade and i got an A. I loved goin to his class because it was fun, even though i neva liked Math. However, I had to teach myself because he teaches too fast, and he was always rude to me whenever i ask him questions. Take him, but get ready to consider the tutoring center as ur second home. If U not ready to teach self, don't take him.
Good teacher but he does go fast. Everything is based on points. If you get enough points you will pass the class. That's how I passed. I failed two test and still passed with a C. Do extra credit and get A's on the quizzes (quizzes are done in groups) and you'll pass too.
Great math teacher. He's a super funny guy and makes long math classes easy to sit through. There is plenty of homework, but if you do it, you'll pass the class. Homework is do at each of the 4 tests (4th being the final). Ask questions, show up to class, do all your homework on time, and you can get an easy B or A.
He is a funny teacher. He offers lots of extra credit. There is homework due by every test. It's not that hard to pass the class or to get an A.
Pretty chill. If you understand math well it shouldn't be too hard. Otherwise go to tutoring for extra help. Group quizzes and he lets class out early. If you do the homework the tests and quizzes is a piece of cake.
I took professor DeGuzman in the fall of 2013. His lectures were extremely fast, had horribly sloppy handwriting on the board, and he's overall a rude person. Don't bother asking him a question. NO PHONES, LAPTOPS, TABLETS, not even to check the time because he WILL call you out. He didn't show up to class a few times without so much as an email.
I took Professor Deguzman in Spring 16 mainly based off his good reviews, but looking back at it they were only good cause they claimed he was funny. I figured I can handle his teaching but I was wrong! His lectures are too fast and his assistant he had in class had to explain what he just said. He's funny but I probably wouldn't take him again. :(
If you struggle with math I wouldn't recommend this professor. His lectures are super fast and he makes you feel embarrassed when you ask a question in regards to something you don't understand. Just do the hw and show up to class everyday and you'll get a minimum of a C. Wont really learn anything though..
Mr. De Guzman is a funny professor. That's it. He lectures extremely fast and does not thoroughly explain each section. If you're not good at math and you decide to take him, then I'd recommend you go to tutoring! The only thing I like about the class was that all quizzes were done in groups.
He is a funny dude but this not a easy math class. He teaches really fast and sometimes makes you feel dumb if you ask a question. Be prepared to get a tutor or teach your self the information. His test look just like the study guide and he gives a lot of homework but lets you turn it in early for extra credit. Its a challenge but possible.
He is a funny, kind guy. There is lots of homework but it is not too hard. His lessons are clear cut and help you understand the material. The quizzes are done in groups. Extra credit is given for turning in your homework early.
Honestly, if you fail his class you're not trying hard enough. He gives you extra credit for turning in your homework early, and he also gives all of the quizzes in groups, PLUS he drops your lowest exam score. Do the study guides! He does lecture fast, but as long as you turn in all your hw for extra credit and ACE your group quizzes you'll pass.
I am taking this professor for math 35 now. He is very clear on his grading and gives you the homework way before you need to turn it in, so you have more than enough time to get to work. It's even possible to finish his homework a few days before you turn it in. Goes over problems if you don't understand them. He is the best math teacher so far!
If I have to take algebra again ill pick him. He will give you the homework at the beginning of the class. My advice is DO them and understand them. And I promise you it will be an easy A.
If you do the homework and turn it in early for extra credit you'll pass the class!! The tests are multiple choice and just need to study and do homework so it won't be difficult. Quizzes are usually in groups, which will give you even more points for your test!
When asking questions he makes you feel ask if you should already know the material. Move fast even if the whole class is confused.
I found this professor to be rude, and unprofessional. He was late to class almost everyday, and comes across as though he doesn't want to be there. If you struggle with Algebra do not take this class unless you plan on tutoring often. He goes really fast and comes off as intimidating if you dare ask a question.
Very indepth lectures that I never found dry or uninteresting due to his personality. His attitude may rub some people the wrong way but if you have thick skin, you ll be fine regardless. Keep up with the lectures, homework, and ask questions. Do that and you ll be fine.
If you don't pass this class, I'm judging. All quizzes are group quizzes. He gives you all future hmwk in advance. He offers XTRA CREDIT so take advantage of it. turn in hmwk early & its XTRA credit. a fast paste of teaching & is very sarcastic. DO YOUR HMWK & you will actually know what is going on in the class. he drops 1 lowest test score.
De Guzman is an amazing professor who makes math easy to understand. He is sarcastic and sometimes students can't tell when he's joking but he makes the class fun. He will show and teach an easier way or a shortcut if one is available. Our class spent alot of time laughing.
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!!!
I hadn't taken a Math class in about 8 years when I took this class and I was always a C student. I think I need to give partial credit to De Guzman for helping me to build a strong mathematical foundation. I just finished taking Calculus I and I received an 'A'. Work hard in algebra & ask him questions, especially if you need to go far in math.
De Guzman moves at a fast pace. Keep up or get lost. Your choice. I worked hard and got a B and I mean real hard but math is difficult for me.
I have always struggled with math and thanks to Professor DeGuzman I was actually able to pass. Be prepared to pay attention and focus in class since he does move fast. He truly wants you to learn the information so don't be afraid to ask questions. He has some pretty funny jokes too which makes the time move quickly. Highly recommend.
Ok professor. This professor does not really teach, just shows one (or maybe) two examples then moves on. If you struggle w/ math maybe look for a different professor or have enough free time outside of class for a tutor. The extra credit helps a ton!! Test are only 25Qs. Every point matters!! Be ready to teach yourself about 50% of the lessons
Professor Guzman is greAt. He is funny and blunt and a good teacher. There is a lot of homework . But u will learn. He has a lil accent but he is easy to understand. He acts kinda tough n pretends to not like our ugly faces but really we have grown a affection for each other. Great teacher. Offers extra credit .
This guy be like: "Do you get it? Do you understand? (*crickets*) Very good. (sighs) Now I'm tired - I want to sleep. (sips from Big Gulp)" Half-comedian, half-teacher who gives way too much HW but offers Extra credit for turning in HW early. You must sign in for attendance and he drops the lowest of 3 exams (excluding final).
He is a good prof, his class is always fun. Although this class comes with tons of homework, he also gives you extra credit. the quizzes are all group quizzes and open book. He gave 3 closed-book exams but drop one which is the lowest grade. I got an A+ with 102%. Recommended!
Took the class during the Winter semester. He covers so many sections in a short period of time but as long as you turn in your homework before the test to get the extra credit you will do good. He will drop your lowest test score. Overall he's a great professor.
Professor De Guzman is a really great instructor. I took him for Math 35 and Math 11. He gives a fair amount of HW but offers extra credit if you turn it in early. He drops your lowest test grade out of the 3 test given. If you have any questions he's more then willing to help you. Funny sense of humor. I will miss having him as my Professor.
I took MAT10 with Prof DeGuzman over the summer and let me tell you, do not waste your time taking it in the Fall or Spring! I was very fearful due to the fast pace. Although it is self-paced and self-taught, Prof gives you all the materials you need in order to succeed! He is there when you need it and replies quickly! Highly recommended!!
I took profesor Guzmán summer of 2021. Which we know is an accelerated class already. As long as you keep up, you will be fine. He answers all questions and gives extensions for HW if emailed at an adequate time. He will also answer small questions through zoom. Very caring about his students.
I took him for mat12(statistic). I would say please take him for summer don't waste your time doing it for a dull term. You would have to do the work by yourself. He is very caring and understanding. I would recommend this class to anyone! (:
Professor DeGuzman's class was a hybrid. He went over each section in class so that students had a chance to see the problems worked through and ask questions. He unlocked modules for me when I got ahead. Enjoyed his class and looking forward to taking him again for Statistics in the Fall.
His course is great if you want to self pace. Will unlock future modules if you get ahead. Always available if you have questions. Took him for Math 12 (Statistics) and also for Math 9 (College Algebra). Highly recommend if you need flexibility.
stats was ALL ASYNCHRONOUS all online, all the homework, all quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final was all done on Pearson mystatslab. he doesn't have any other assignments or tests besides things on Pearson. you have to teach yourself but everything is done at your own pace which is nice. i love these types of courses, easy A. multiple tries on hw, tests
Great professor, class is mandatory but allows up to 4 absences but after that you will be dropped. Is heavy on notes but mostly focuses on online work. Online work is super time consuming but overall easy and manageable.
super chill and funny. work was self paced for the most part and completely online, you just gotta go in person for lectures which weren't that bad considering they ended a few hours early which was great!! only thing that kinda got on my nerves was that you HAD to buy the online textbook to actually do your work but I mean, it's a math class.
Took online stats with him, it was just one of those prefab-pearson classes. Nothing was made by him but it was easy to crunch the entire 6 week semester down to 5 days since he opens the class all at once.
Mr. DeGuzman was a great teacher. My Statistics class was all online through Pearson (was free for two weeks). He replied to emails very quick and extremely helpful for the problems and questions I had regarding my math. You have to teach yourself, but Mr. Deguzman opens everything and has them all due at the end of the semester. I would recommend.
Professor DeGuzman's MAT12 class is a great self-paced option. Use unstuckstudy ai and the textbook to teach yourself, with the professor available for questions. Manageable workload for an easy A.
