Professor Juan Zaragoza is a fairly decent instructor. One thing to be heads up for is he has a very heavy Mexican accent making him very quiet and difficult to understand at times, especially during his lectures and explaining the notes. If you are not very mathematically inclined, then I would recommend another professor.

Late to class, lectures were horrible, very disorganized, did not follow syllabus, lots of homework, annoying group projects. Wants to teach us how to be a tutor, but at the cost of ACTUALLY teaching the course. There was no study guides for tests. Basically, study EVERYTHING, because his tests are difficult.

The worst professor I've ever had by a huge margin. He expects far more from his students than he does from himself - all of the difficulty in the class comes down to how disorganized and unprepared he is. As an example of his inconsistency: he gave us one week to complete our first practice test, and one day to complete longer versions on others.

Lazy professor, not prepared for each lecture. Very unclear about what he is talking about and takes out his anger on making the tests and quizzes super difficult.

Very difficult to understand. Math has always been my favorite subject until I took this class. You teach yourself and his tests are nothing like the quizzes or homework, tests are very tough. I spent a lot of time on the homework and I barely had any understanding of it. Even though I passed with a C-, I feel like I didn't learn a single thing.

Professor Zaragoza takes the time to lay out his agenda and presents lectures on a step-by step basis. This matters a lot, seeing the reasoning and logic of what is being presented. To be successful, have a good back ground with trig identities/functions because it will be useful later. Complete the mock exams and homeworks--they're good practice!

If you're looking for an easy A, this isn't the class. But if you stay on top of the work its not that difficult at all. He gives extra credit opportunities and offers to drop some low quiz grades.
