He is very clear in his way of teaching. He is always available to help out his students anytime that they need it. His number one goal is to make sure you understand the material. Overall he is the best teacher I had so far!!!
No Comments
He is the best teacher I was have, he have the best way to teach, I very happy to meet Mister fernandez, he always is avalible to help studest.
Great professor! Always there to help. A++
Very easy, cares about student, will bend over backwards for you, best math teacher ever, willing to help
folks, its an easy "A"
He is a very good teacher. Clear and to the point.He teaches so good that I even started liking math. TAKE HIM you won't regret! Excellent math professor, the BEST MDC has!
VERY GOOD PROFESSOR. HIS TESTS ARE EASY AND HE GIVES GOOD REVIEWS IF YOU DO THEM YOU'LL GET AN A.
The only math teacher I have ever had that I actually understood and was able to get the material. He is a great teacher!!
Mr. Fernandez had been a teacher that help me to learn Math, He was the only teacher inmterested in my progress.I recomend him strongly
If you hate math this is the teacher to get! This teacher is the best, He is as clear as water, What you see him teaching on the board is what you see on the review and what you see on the review is what you see on the test. Tust me I hate math but he mad it easy to pass.
When I started this class I was so lost I was sure I would fail. This teacher helped me so much I passed with an A. He will go over everything again and again until you understand. He will stay late and do whatever he can to help you. If you have a hard time with math take this teacher. He is really wonderful. Everyone in the class loved him.
He is concern about his student’s progress, patient, helpful. He never had been seeing upset or disappoint when someone don ‘t understand. He always tries to find out another way to teach. He shows us every class that math is possible just working in, he provide his students not only with math knowledge also to believe in themselves. We love him.
he's really helpful, he cares about every student, easy to understand, gives extra credit hw is not obligated but would help a lot.
Fernandez is one of the best teachers i've found in this school. His tests are not hard and he helps you prepare in advance. Take his class!!!
THIS IS A GREAT PROFESSOR. I PASSED ALMOST EVERY TEST WITH AN A. NOT MUCH WORK AT ALL HE LEAVES IT UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO LEARN OR NOT. I THINK MORE PROFESSORS NEED TO BE LIKE HIM!
Excellent! He is the best Math teacher on campus, I am enrolling with him on the next math. Recommend!
This has been the most wonderful teacher I've ever had. He goes above and beyond his duties to help all the students. He will go over and over the material until you are comfortable and know your stuff. Enjoy the class!
he is just Wonderful!!!! and funny n cute and helpfull and patient if u dont understand anything..just tell him, he WILL make u understand it. If i could take him again I CERTAINLY WOULD DO IT. Best teacher EVER!
HE'S VERY NICE!
Great teacher!!
this professor rocks, he is the best math professor ever, take him you will pass the class :)
i'm def. taking mac 1105 w/ him !!! he is just the greatest math teacher ever!! very caring. take him and do not hesitate you will see how his classes get full instantly
great guy... cares about his students... 4 tests total, final not mandatory... first test is in class 2nd and 3rd are take home and 4th in class... final is optional... good class as long as you study and do all homework you will pass...
I had trouble understanding his accent hes Cuban wouldnt recommend him for a 6 weeks unless ur good @ math he is a nice person don't desrpect him or leave the class he hate that 4 test 2 do 2 are take homes & a final. Reviews are from ur h.w. no multuple choice on test just read ur book, study, & show up to class u will get a A easy class recommond
Easy Easy Easy!!!
He is amazing!!!! I took this class before but the teacher failed the whole class so I had to take it again in summer and this guy was awesome, two take home tests and the other two really easy. He has a lil accent but wasnt that bad as other accents. I recommend him.
He's an awesome teacher! Best teacher I've had yet in MDC. He explains everything clearly. If you don't understand correctly the first time, he'll try his best to go over the same steps in a more understanding way. I don't even use the book in the class. He gives examples based on his review and all his tests are exact to his reviews. RECOMMENDED!
Now my man here Leo Fernandez is really a chill as MuthaF***a. He's from Cuba, and he has a very strong Spanish accent. But don't worry; he does tell you from day 1 if anyone doesn't understand him, let him know and hill repeat himself. Fernandez is really laid-back and funny. Not that hard of a class. If your bad at Math, Leo is your man. Take him
My boy Leo is the best. Trust me, take your time and study. You will pass with flying colors.
Alright, so at first I was excited to take this class because of all the wonderful reviews he had. Ive always been good at math so having an easy teacher was even better. His accent is horrible. Instead of demonstrating how to do a problem, he tells you how to do it. The test was NOTHING like what he did in class. More then half of my class failed.
i had this teacher for MAT1033 and i had to drop my class and stay without going to school for the semester simply because you can RARELY understand what he is saying.. he comes from a spanish background and his ENGLISH is horrible!... if you have trouble understanding very heavy accents, do not take him!
He is good. Yes he has an accent but you can get what he is saying bu paying attention. Yes many people fail but also many people skipped class. he is a smart proffesor doesnt make attendance mandatory but he teaches you things that you need for the test and only he can give you so if you missed the class well you fail. But he is clear and helpful.

He is a super easy teacher, and very very helpful. easy A
This is an ok professor. He tries his best to communicate his knowledge and passion for math to his students. He has a pretty heavy accent and i wouldn't recommend him if you have trouble with math. But he does his best to help students. He gave a take home exam and drops your lowest grade. The class only had 6 exams so i think it was pretty fair.
He is the best teacher i ever had. if you want an A than take hime.
HE IS THE BEST! I recommend Mr. Fernandez to students who have difficulty with math. He helps you a lot, he is super flexible and explains to you till you fully understand the material. Once again, You can't miss out the opportunity of passing math! TAKE HIM!
He is the best. Easy A. Best Prof. Really wants to help students.
Mr. Fernandez is an excellent professor, he truly cares about students, he is helpful and understanding, I strongly encourage you to take MGF's classes with him. Easy A if you get done what it's supposed to. Once again, if you have difficulty understanding MATH you wont regret taking it with Mr. Fernandez. Girlssss, he is hot!
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIND A BETTER PROFESSOR THAN HIM!!! is true his cuban accent is remarkable but you can understand him!!! just go to class and will have an easy A+, talk with him and he will help you. TAKE HIM!!! 100% RECOMMENDED
Do yourself a favor and take this guy! I HATE math but he is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually feel like buying him a gift for being AWESOME!
Just copy and paste previous comments here. He is very helpful and really cares about his students. 2/4 take home tests.
Excellent teacher. 2/4 take home tests only 5 questions each. Easy A
Great teacher, he operates like a computer. Numbers are his thing. He has no problems staying with you after class if you have no clue as to what is going on and besides his cuban accent he is pretty clear. Great guy. I'd take him again if he would teach a higher math. I took him for MAC1105
Great teacher. I took him for MAC1105 and he indeed is a helpful guy. He operates like a computer, his world is numbers. Teaching is pretty upfront, homework is not mandatory and neither is attendance. Test are not easy easy but if you do a bit of the homework you'll do fine. He also gives reviews for them. Will take again.
This professor is AMAZING! I took him in the summer. I am horrible in math and I managed to get a B! Take him you wont regret it! He cares about his students and really helps you out with your final grade.
HE IS A NICE GUY BUT HIS ACCENT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS TEACHING, I HAD TO DROP THE CLASS..
The teacher is nice, but its not going to help me understand him any clearer; his cuban accent is so strong. I basicallly taught myself through the math lab, which you have to purchase beacause it 10% of your final grade. Oh and you have four tests and two are take home. i got a B, but get ready to teach yourself.
Maybe it was just this semester, but he barely showed up to class. His english is kind of hard to understand, but he gives take home tests which is what saved my grade. He also gives homework online which also saved my grade.
THIS PROF IS AMAZING! He has a strong Cuban accent BUT he explains the material VERY clearly.. Gives two in class tests & two take home tests PLUS a easy project to help boost your grade. Go to class and he goes over everything as it will be on the exam I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROF ESPEFCIALLY IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY W/ ALGEBRA! Took it & got an "A"
I'll be completely honest about this- i just took him for summer. I got an A.. it was the EASIEST A I've EVER gotten.. really.. i think we went to class just a couple of times . I'm TERRIBLE at math, btw.. it's my worset subjects.
I don't care about his accent, he's a great professor...PERIOD!!!!! It was the first time in my life I had a math teacher who actually gave me take-home tests, that's the clearest proof of his willingness to help his students :) TAKE HIMMMMM!!! You won't waste your money, and you will pass the class :D (UNLESS you're an idiot!!!)
Easiest math class ever. 2 tests are easy and take home and the other 2 are even easier and he gives you the formulas. They are short and so easy a kid in elementary school could get an A on them. If you get less than an A in this class it's because you're extremely lazy.
I tool him for this past summer! Best professor ever!!! 2 take home exams, and very explicit on all the material! Heavy accent but understandable, take him! Believe me u won't regret it! Math and science have always been my worst subject! Yet i got an A in his class!!!
Nice teacher but moves very fast and expects you to have all the basics down pat before taking his class. He uses course compass for homework assignemnts, gives take homes tests and an extra credit assignment. VERY heavy cuban accent and very fast paced. Unless you're good at algebra you will need to put in quite a bit of study time to pass.
Nice guy, but his class is NOT an easy ride. Breezes through the material at lightning speed. Heavy accent. Teaches from barely legible handwritten notes projected onto a screen. You sit in the dark struggling to understand him and read his notes. I did well only because I worked very hard--basically learned on my own from the book. THINK TWICE!
Math is not easy but he is willing to help you if you ask. Attendance is not mandatory, two take home exams and a final that will count double to replace the lowest grade. Five tests in total. He will give you study guides which are pretty much like the exams.
professor fernandez isn't the easiest person to understand, but the work he leaves is the easiest. The first and last test are the only ones you take in class, the other two are take home. He gives you all the material straight from the book. i just finished his class and received an A+, and im the laziest person ever. Highly recommended
Amazing! very easy professor not looking to fail you. only 4 tests and 2 are take home not looking to fool you on the tests as long as you go over your notes and pay attention in class you will pass. you have to do a project but gives you plenty of time to complete! I lived in south beach and drove all the way to kendal campus just to take him! A+!
aWSOME TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!! EASYY AND THE TEST IS IN CLASS BUT HE GIVES YOU A REVIEW TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT!!i took him two times,do the review study and you are done!! in mgf no homework in the algebra you do have,but gives you points
AMAZING! Very simple. Easy work. Straight from book. Thick accent but he gets the point across. Extremely understanding & helpful. Book isnt mandatory but I used it plenty to study. Very down to earth. Highly recommend him!!
Super easy! Just study for the 2 tests that are in class, the other two are take home, he has a heavy accent but he is understandable. I would take him again he really does his best to get you to pass. Easy class and highly recommend him
He's the best professor ever. The class is easy.. 2 take home tests and 2 tests in class. He really helps you out when you need it. He's a great guy and I would take him again if I could
Very easy class, 2 take home test, 2 easy in class tests with review packets almost identical to the real test. Easy A!
This guy is an easy teacher, but not because of online tests or whatever, he takes his time on the board to answer questions and is patient with questions. Has a little bit of an accent but it doesnt interfere with your learning.He can teach, I didnt study at all, simply went to class and did the test reviews, TAKE HIM, YOU WONT REGRET IT.
Best math professor EVER!!! I took him for MAC1105 and now I'm taking him for MGF1106.
His accent is kinda hard to understand at first, but then you get used to it. Two online test and three test in class. I would recommend him.
Took this course as a 6-week mini term (Saturdays). The material isn't hard, two tests were take home. He really tries to help you out. He does have a thick accent, so it may be difficult to understand at times. Definitely take him!
Best math professor at Miami-Dade! gives you 2 take home test and 3 in class test with excellent reviews. Recommend him to anyone! Helps your GPA and if you suck at math like i do, this is the professor you need!
This is the best math professor I have ever had. He truly cares about helping students understand the lessons. He is very fair with homework, testing etc. I recommend him to everyone. I'm even taking his higher level math now. Got an A with him last semester.
Just started to take this class MGF1106. The professor seems nice, but the tests are not multiple choice, you need to show work or he will deduct points. Please leave useful feedback so students can pick a teacher based on test and work load etc, not if he is hot!
To the comment below,why would it matter whether or not it's multiple choice? Anyways we took 4 exams (2 online),they're not multiple choice, but I did not show any work what-so-ever and passed with an A. Just do the online HW and the project, easy stuff. On a side note, he rarely answers his emails. Has an accent. No book needed,just online HW
He has a little acent but you can understand, The tests are not multiple choise but this help to get some points if the answers are wrong. he show up passion for math and help us to undertand it including if you don't like it. I recomended
you take 4 tests 2 online. Do the homework and project and you will have no problem passing. Does answer questions in class just ask.
Good prof. Very clear what is on the test. Gives a review a little impatient but will answers questions. Gotta do all the homework, but it's super easy.
1/2 online 1/2 in class. You will need a code online for around $90. I must say he is really hard to understand, good grammar is very important for me to be able to understand concepts and he's is not vey good. Does not answer e-mails, which is devastating to me since he's office hour time is only 15mins after class. thank God for the online work.
Really great professor. He will help the class to pass however he can, and wants everyone to learn above all else. Do your best and you will most likely pass the class.
GREAT TEACHER! I definitely recommend. He is genuinely helpful and wants to help you pass the class, you just need to put your part. The tests are not multiple choice. Two online, and two in class. He reviews everything with you, just pay attention. I would take him again if I had to!
Currently taking him, does not require book. You will need the mymathlab. His grading works to the students benefits. He teaches what you need to know and doesn't drag on. He does have an accent. 4 exams. 2 are online. You have multiple attempts. You need to put forth the effort if you want the grade.
Simple: 3 Tests in class, 2 online. 1 Project, he just checks if you did it at all. Test 1 is probably the hardest one. Every test after that is a joke. Just memorize the questions;they really don't change much other than a few things here and there. You can knock out the online assignments within a few weeks. Summer Course.
I'm so glad to have selected Prof. Fernandez for MAC1105. The subject is not the easiest, but he is willing to help students a lot by giving you extra credit for a project and leaving the online HW available pretty much until the end of the semester. Unless you're a genius at Math, don't skip his class. Put in some effort and you'll sure pass.
He is a very professional, caring and funny teacher. Makes math enjoyable. I will be honest, he has a slight accent but if you pay attention its okay. He is a math whiz, so you will learn. He is also very fair and works with the class! Professor Fernandez wants you to succeed!
Professor Fernandez is a kind person that cares about his students. He takes time to explain any questions in class. He has an accent but nothing you would not understand. He has four exams, first, fourth and last are in class and the rest are online. Homework is done through My Math Lab. Highly recommend him.
He is very cool professor and here is what u need to know about the class there are 5 test n one project 3 test in class and 2 online no midterm and homework very easy online also the final exam is on all chapter he will give u a review sheet and go over in class if u have a question for him good luck
About 4-5 tests or so? 1st test in class. Test 2 & 3 are online. Test 4 is in class if I remember correctly. You don't take the final test if you don't need to. If I remember right, test 4 was online too because of I don't remember what. So, you're bound to get 34 A's on each test. Gives an extra credit assignment on a famous mathematician.
One of the best professors I have had in math. 1st test is in class while the 2nd and 3rd are online. Because of time the 4th one was posted online as well. Extra credit research paper and Final is optional. Great Professor overall definitely would recommend!
He is very cool professor okay there are 5 test 2 online 3 in class and a research paper about any mathematical u want for extra credit it will help u in the end and math lab is about I believe $70-90 and good luck to you
HE IS AMAZING! I am horrible at math and believe me when I say HORRIBLE and I passed with an A. He is very clear and his grading criteria is great. If you don't pass his class you honestly didn't do anything. You don't have to go to class, the material is like you were back in highschool. He gives 2 online test and 3 in class. He gives extra credit
Professor Fernandez is a great professor he is always willing to help you understand Math. Show up to class, do your home work put a little effort, trust me it will go a long way. Five test with optional final, He's great.
Truly great professor. Took the time to clearly explain all of the assignments and the tests with a study guide. Yes. There will be homework, but it will only help you later pass the the exams with flying colors. You should do well in this class.
This professor explains all the pertinent math problems. He always asks if someone has a question and will stay after class to help, if necessary. If you do homework and attend class, you'll pass this class. There are some online tests. He knows Math very well and he is very pleasant. I would take him again. MAC1105 - Fall 2015.
super easy class, study, do the homework and you should pass. he talks fast as he teaches, but just ask to slow down and he will. just 4 exams and a final. if you do good on the exams, you don't need to take the final exam.
He's awesome. Im definitely going to take him for mgf1107. Tests are very straight forward and also gives you a grade on homework. Also gives extra credit for perfect attendance in our saturday class.
Professor Fernandez is very knowledgeable in math. Will teach you the lessons straight to the point in the best way to solve them possible. Absolutely recommend him!
Let me start out by updating from prior reviews. He can NO LONGER provide online exams, so don't get excited about those. This class overall was challenging for me but was very clear on what was expected. He does give you very helpful reviews for each test, and points on tests for completing hw. He makes it evident he's there to help out students!
Theres only 4 exams & then an optional final if you want to boost your grade (or stay with the grade you have.) The tests are very easy bc he does reviews on exactly what will be on the test and the questions are the same format from mymathlab homework. Dont need the textbook, just the access code. I barely did the hw & ended with a B
Math has always been a difficult subject for me. Fortunately this class has a great tutor assigned who will boost you up in the areas you couldnt catch in class. Teacher has 4 exams and a final. You will receive reviews for all 4. Reviews are the same as the exams with maybe a difference of 3 questions.
He is the best Math professor I have had ever. He speaks a little fast and the semester go fast to. He will give you some opportunities to raise your grade. If you do the online homework you will get an A in every test It was an easy A+ for me.
This professor said that assistance was not mandatory but complained every class about people missing the class. He teaches really fast and its difficult to understand. Lots of homework too.
I do not recommend this professor. He is hard to understand. Goes based of powerpoints from the book. Does not break down problems.
Professor Fernandez is the best. 4 tests and the study are identical to his tests. Tons of extra credit. He does have homework. Overall great class
I got to say that Mr. Fernandez is is the best professor for math and remote learning. If you suck or don't like math, then take him. You won't regret it.
Best math professor. Tests, homework, and final are on the website used for the class. Super super easy. Take him, you will not regret it. Easy A.
If you want to actually understand math, this professor is not for you. He explains really fast and doesn't check on students.
Overall the professor is good. He was very clear with the assignments. Average homework and 6 tests including finals (finals was optimal only if you needed it). Some test were hard but you were allowed to take it 3 times. Very understanding professor.
Mr. Fernandez was okay. He would rely too much on the powerpoint, to the point where it became tedious and very confusing. He would focus too much on mathematical theory as opposed to relevant examples. Made even the simplest things sound unnecessarily complex. However, all exams and assignments are on Math Lab, so getting a good grade isn't hard.
Online. Do not need a camera or microphone. Attendance is not req'd. He does visual presentations and goes over material. Answers any questions you have, and will stay with students after class for 1 on 1 help. Optional extra credit if you want to do it. A lot of homework in the MathLab though. Friendly. Don't fall behind on homework though.
Very nice, caring, helpful, and professional. 7 tests and an optional final. Your final can replace the lowest test grade. 3 attempts for each test. Unlimited tries on the homework. He would stay after class to answer my questions. I would take him for all my math classes if I could.
