This is an AWESOME teacher!! He's super nice, teaches very clearly, he gives a review sheet and what's on the review is his tests. He's approachable and extrememly helpful and is willing to tutor for hours.He's an easy A!
beltran is the type of teacher that mdcc should have more of. He makes sure that all of his students are on the same page that he is and that nobody is left behind. which makes the majority of the class pass. he is a good teacher and cutie putooty :)
I took MAC1105 and STA2023 with him. He is the best math teacher you could ask for. He is by far the best teacher at MDCC! We gave him a plaque after class was over. He makes learning easy and he's fair. AAAA++++!!!!
I took pre-calc & trig, calc 1, and calc 2 with him, got all A's, not because he's easy but because you actually learn. Awesome professor!!!
very very great teacher...its not an easy class but he teaches it very well, which makes it easy...def. is an A if you study

This is the best math teacher i have ever had! he is the best, he is young, funny, and also taking classes thats why he undestands us..i got a B because i didnt do all my homeworks but definetly he is the best ever.
He knows what he is doing... Explains everything and makes it so easy to understand. Take him if you want to learn and love statistics.
This is a great teacher. He goes at that pace that will learn the material and not be lost in the wilderness. He always teaches the tricks to make the problems easy. This is the kind of teacher every school should be after.
Great teacher, I loved his class.

EXELENT Professor! He is the BEST! The testa are what he teaches all you have to do is study. There is no need for extra credit you will do fine just study. :)
Incredible professor! Makes everything very clear, teaches us the easiest ways to solve the problems. Fun to visit in the office, because of all his great stories. Would suggest this teacher to everyone! Test are very fair as well as the grading. Do the review sheet/homework problems and you'll do great! In his class you will actually enjoy math!
Knows what he's doing, but very boring. ZZZZZZ
THIS PROFESSOR WAS GREAT. AT FIRST I WAS SCARED TO TAKE THIS CLASS IN A 6 WEEK BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FAIL BUT GUESS WHAT I PASSED. THIS TEACHER IS VERY HELPFUL AND REALLY COULD HELP YOU WHAEN YOU NEED IT. I WOULD RECOMMENED THIS TEACHER TO ANYONE.. I AM GLAD I HAD HIM IN THE SUMMER..VERY CUTE TOO..
One of the easiest math professors I have ever meet. His lectures are clear and precise. Gives excellent test reviews. study your notes and you are going to pass. I never thought statistics would be so pleasant and easy!! Take it during summer, its an (eye) BLINK!!
Only time in my life I had a teacher who was younger than me which was strange, still he was one of the best profs I ever had
This guy is plain awesome. He is very friendly and treats the students in a very good manner.
Prof Beltran is frickin awesome.
HE IS VERY ORGANIZED... AND HAS MANY WAYS FOR YOU TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH HIS LECTURES.....HE GIVES STRAIT TO THE POINT REVIEW(VERY HELPFUL).hIS TEACHING STYLE IS VERY CLEAR AND DIRECT( YOU WON'T GET LOST IN LECTURE AT ALL)...
He's great! The first time in my life I passed a math class with A ( feeling like a easy A). Very helpful, nice...
THE BEST. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE MATERIAL, GET GOOD GRADES, AND HAVE FUN AT THE SAME TIME, TAKE IT WITH HIM. HE IS THE BEST TEACHER FOR THIS CLASS, AND MANY OTHER MATH CLASSES. LOOK FOR HIM AT ALL COST! Lord bless him..!
INTERESTING AND DYNAMIC CLASS. THIS IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE EARTH, YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM FOR EVERY MATH. HE IS THE BEST, AWESOME, VERY INTELLIGENT, SIMPLY THE BEST. RECOMENDED, YOU WOULD LEARN A LOT WITH HIM. VERY HELPFUL, VERY NICE, EVERYTHING.
Loves to teach and will go that extra mile to help students pass the class. Also gives a great review for all exams and does not waste class time. All i can say is if you study and do all the work you should pass with a good grade.........
This is the best math teacher I've ever had, his good, if you have to take cal 1 & 2. It will be better to take the miniterm, you have to stydy but the tests will be simple and his a fair grader, 90% or more of the students in my class past the class with B or A. He gives reviews before the test as well.
Great teacher....hard subject.
THIS TEACHER IS A GREAT TEACHER. HE REALLY KNOWS HIS MATERIAL. HE MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR FOR ANY CLASS HE MAY TEACH. :)
God created light on the 1st day.On the 2nd, he created Prof Beltran.This is the ABSOLUTE BEST Prof you will ever find.He shouldn't be teaching students.He should be teaching other teachers how to teach!!He is clear, to the point, funny, never wastes class time,always prepared,and offers help to the best of his ability. He tests what he teaches.
He is just the best
He is an AWESOME teacher! He is one of THE BEST math teachers I've ever had. He is very clear and he tests exactly what he goes over. I recommend him to anybody! I agree he should be teaching other math teachers how to teach!
Dr. Beltran is a top notch professor. He is the best math instructor I've ever had. His eloquence enables him to clearly, effectively, and efficiently convey his knowledge of Calculus (and other mathematical fields)to us students with ease. His exams assess our knowledge of what we have learned. After taking him, I surely learned Calculus easily
This teacher is the best! I highly recommend it. Just go to the lectures and study from your notes..easy A
Very good teacher and is very clear with teaching his stuff....plus his notes and review help alot for the test
Great Teacher! Very organized and helpful. STA is not an easy class but pay attention, do not miss classes, do your homework. You will not only get a good grade but you will like STA. Great Teacher.
this teacher you must take speaks good english and reviews very good for each test excellent you don't even need to do the homework inorder to get an a just study the review shett very hard and you'll get that a 4sure
He is the best professor ever! He makes his lessons completely clear and understandable. I made an "A" in his class. I love the fact that he gives a few homework problems per section & it's not required, just for your own good. He's very intelligent and super sweet.
Great teacher. He is funny, the only bad thing is that he will make you stay the whole period he teaches the entire time. He is very helpfull if you study the review you will do great on the tests. I recommend for all major that needs this class for a requirement.
This guy is awesome!!! I dont like math but understand it so it was easier, I got an A in his class, I did not buy the book or do any homework, but I did study for the test...the reviews are perfect. Just make 2 blank copies and take one then check your answers on-line, analyze and then take the second practie...he IS off the chain
Professor was difficult to reach for help.You must go to class unless you are math whiz.
this man is good but don't think that his class is a piece of cake either u have to study and understand the material but he does teach and will keep on teaching you as long as you want him to and won't even get mad good but you have to put in your part as well and don't slack because he won't take any pitty on you at the end you get what you earn
No Comments
ok ..really this guy will help u a lot. and he knows if u understand or not. he will really help u if u don't understand. great teacher, just don't be lazy and ur ok
He's the best professor in the whole wide world. If you are really bad at math and don't understand it or like it, believe me he will make you understand everything and at the end you will LOVE calculus. Also took MAC2312.
This guy is one the best professors here at dade. He is willing to help out any way he can as long as he sees you try to do your best. His reviews are exactly how his tests are. He gives excellent reviews, he even offer a review on a saturday for any students that needed help. That shows you how that he wants his students to pass. I got an A
Awesome professor. Calculus 1 & 2 with him was the best choice. He makes sure you understand and does'nt move forward until the whole class gets it. He is super smart and knows his stuff. Got an A in both Calculus in 8wk. Absolutely love this guy. Beautiful hair.
Awesome teacher! Makes stats seem like elementary math with the way he teaches... I would recommend him to anyone! This is the 2nd time i take this class and it finally makes sense! All his notes are available online once the class finishes, very flexible and understanding.
MR BELTRAN IS ONE OF THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR IN GENERAL THAT MDC HAS, THAT ONLY THING THAT MAKE SURE YOU STUDY AND ASK AS MANY QUEST AS YOU CAN BECAUSE THE ONLY NEGATIVE PART ABOUT PROFESSOR BELTRAN IS THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU GET @ THEE END, NO EXTRA CREDIT, BUT LOVE HOW HE TEACH, VERY CUTE I MIGHT SAY & SMART.. FINALLY A GOOD MAT PROFF.
he is a really good professor but you have to study. i would recomend him. HE REALLY WANTS TO HELP YOU. but h can only do so much.
This professor is the BEST professor I have ever taken. He made statistics so easy to understand and I'm not strong in math at all. He hasn't posted the grades yet, but I'm sure I got an A or a B. He has the patience of a saint. He'll explain until you fully understand. I HIGHLY recommend you take it with him. You won't regret it. I promise you.
He really broke down the material in simplest terms. I walked into the classroom, petrified. I actually walked out actually learning something besides stupid formulas! He is one of the best math professors I have ever had, and probably one of the best teachers overall. I highly recommend him.
This professor is the BEST. so understanding and easy to understand as well. I had a little bit of a problem and he sat down with me like a person (not a professor) and helped me out so much that i ended up getting an A in his class. He won't give up until every-single-person in his classroom gets it all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! Thank u prof.Beltran!
An awesome professor. He made statistics easy to understand. It’s not hard, but study and do all the homework, whatever you don’t understand ask him, he explains in any way possible for you to get it, he’s great. I HIGHLY recommend you take it with him. He’s best math professors I have ever had, and probably one of the best teachers overall.
Great, amazing, incredible, wonderful, fantastic, intelligent, respecful, punctual, helpfull etc etc etc The BEST professor ever, took MAC1105 got an "A", took STA2023 got an "A" and now taking pre-calculus with him too and hope to get another "A". I HIGHLY recommend him!! >^..^<
he is a great proffesor im defenetely going to take him in the fall semester. he is very clear and you will defenetely learn in his class, his class is not hard but you do have to study. i suggest you take him. i have and A in his class so far.
Easy class (maybe a little TOO easy). Homework and Attendance not mandatory. All of the classnotes can be downloaded from the webct. He also posts previous tests for practice. If you are not a math buff, take him. He will give you easy problems in the test, just like the ones he explains in class. Easy going, cute but dorky sense of humor.RECOMMEND
best math teacher in mdc. explains everything in an easy way. you do need to do the homework so you have enough practice though. does all work on a tablet so you can download notes after awesome system
Amazing professor. I've never gotten an A in a math class before but I aced Prof. Beltran's class and actually understood all of the material.
No Comments
If you wish to understand math for the first time, take this prof. He is the best teacher ever. He makes Calculus sound easy (which is something really weird to say). I took the first part of Cal and I am waiting to take the second with him. He makes the easiest tests and is always there to help you understand any question. He is awesome!
Great professor! if you do not understant stats with him, then believe me no one else will be able to help u. So easy to understand that even a five year old can do it. Highly recommended!
slack!!!! take this class to get an A
Let me make it clear HE IS NOT AN EASY PROFESSOR, he just knows how to explain which is different. Don't think that by taking a class with him you'll get an A, that's not true you have to study and hard, however he'll be there to help you if needed and will explain things over and over again. That right there makes him the best professor ever.
He is an awesome teacher! He explains the material in such a clear way! he is supernice and helpful....
He is an awesome teacher. He really knows how to explain everything in a clear manner. He is also very nice and his class is not hard at all!
One of the best professors at Dade. Works off a tablet PC and incorporates a combination of visual and auditory teaching into his classes. If you miss a class, he posts the notes online. Not an easy A, but if you pay attention in class and prepare for his test, you will succeed. Wish all the teachers at Dade incorporated his teaching style.
The best teacher that you can ever have. Extremelly helpfull. Gives extra credit. Helps you even when you are at home. Perfect!
AMAZING!!! Works off a tablet PC which was awesome cuz if you miss a class, he posts the notes on webct. The test are easy cuz he gives awesome reviews. Overall he is a very easy professor that is very helpful & makes class fun. I loved his stats class!
DR BELTRAN IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! He actually makes u like math, unbelievable I know. He makes good use of time, uses the book a lot, and explains in a very clear way. So clear u will understand at least 90% of the time without having to ask. He's always available to students and is willing to help u in any way possible. We luv u Dr Beltran
Professor Beltran is an awesome teacher. I am going to be a math educator and have been analyzing numerous teaching styles. This teacher makes math seem like a piece of cake. You must study though, don't expect an easy A. I have taken him for Statistics, Calculus 1, currently in Calculus 2, and am planning on Calculus 3 next semester. A+
this guy is great. i was really bad at math and i took him for mac1105 and got an A. i took him for stats also. he is really nice and makes you understand everything and welcomes questions. he never dismisses early or cancels classes. his tests are pretty much fill in the blank but you WILL understand the work so its not even difficult or a bigdeal
I feel lucky for being in his class, and with a group of Honors students, this guy is the best teacher in the world period, if u have to take any math, dont think twice about taking him, and even he has a rule that it can not be mentioned the word test! imagine that!we love u proff Beltran, u are the best, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
PROFESSOR BELTRAN IS THE BEST! He is very helpful, he would take his lunch time to do an extra session of review before the exams. I love the way he teaches, everything seems so easy when he explains it. I highly recommend him, HE IS AWSOME!. The coolest professor on campus. If you want an A+ in Math, take this class.
Let's face it Staistics is a pain and there's ALOT to remember.I wouldnt take it with any other profeesor other than Beltran he's super helpful! But this is no class to be taken lightly you have to do homework and study to pass... but he makes it easier and even gives you previous sememster exams to study from so you know what to expect!
Mr. Beltran is the BEST!! math teacher ever.He explains everything clearly & is so helpful.I am definetly looking forward into having him for all my math classes.If u do good on ur tests he deducts lab hrs.Take him I PROMISE YOU u wont regret it.Easy class to pass GUARANTEED!!!
HE IS THE BEST! IM NOT GOOD IN MATH AND HE MAKES MATH LOOK SO EASY. YOU DO NEED TO STUDY OR YOU WONT PASS. CLASS IS MANDATORY. BUT, HE MAKES EVERYTHING SUPER EASY AND HE IS SUPER HELPFUL!!!! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM!

If u wanna get an A in Math, you have to study alot, but taking it with Mr.Beltran sure helps. This guy has a natural ability to teach the subject, no matter which math. The way he uses the class notes are amazing, and he can explain something extremely complicated and make it look easy. By far, the best math teacher I have seen.
Awesome teacher! You must do the homework and attend class to get a good grade. He is very clear with his teaching and will take the time to explain things. He is very fair and know his stuff. He gives youall the tools to get an "A".
I took him for MAC 2311 and Mac 1147 he is an amazing teacher. All you have to do is the homework. He always sets out time to answer questions before and after every lesson and is very eager to help.
One of the best professor in Miami Dade!! He makes the class super easy and if you don't understand something he will gladly explain it until you understand it. Homework is not mandatory but really helps to prepare you for test. Also, he gives an optional review session one class before a test. Super easy class, I passed with an A! Take him!!!!
the nicest and sweetest professor in mdc. love what he does and was born for that. spend every minute of his day to his students. even answer questions on the weekends. give old test questions which helps a lot. give extra credits. easy a
Literally the BEST math teacher i have ever had. he just knows the ins and outs of math (ph.d) and u learn so well with him, and nicest guy youll ever meet and he cares soooooo much about his students, trust me he is a rare prof. u will never regret taking him, class never boring and u actually learn. few teachers are like him. take him, promise u
You should take him for any math class. He is the best professor of mathematics at withing ALL the campuses. Very well spoken and also very concerned with your success in his class. Class notes posted online & last year's exams. Just like this year's. the class isn't easy, but you learn a WHOLE lot of stuff, at least with Beltran. I worked for my A
Great professor, very clear and very understandable. If you struggle with Math take him because he will help you out a lot!
Absolutely amazing teacher!! He explains everything so clearly and he posts his class notes online. Also posts exams from previous semesters and a review for each test. There is an extra credit question on each exam. He drops your lowest test grade! If you need to take Statistics, take it with Beltran!!! It's easy to get an A!
I took him last semester for MAC1105...awesome professor. posts notes online, and uses past tests for reviews. explains everything clear and is willing to help!
best teacher ever !
Best Teacher I have ever had! easy tests, crystal clear explanations, fair grading, posts the notes online, nice and entertaining, patient, reviews old material at times, gives extra help b4 tests like on Saturdays or on his lunch hrs. He's simply the best. If u dont pass his class u wont pass any1 elses
He is an amazing math teacher! The best one at MDC!!! He is genuinely concerned about his students and if they are understanding the material or not. I definitely recommend that everyone takes him.
Best Professor in Dade! his notes are posted online he does a video lecture. I barely went to class, never opened the book, and still had a high A. His tests can be difficult if you are new to the material. His tests aren't carbon copy of the practice exams, but they are close. He is nice and VERY helpful. Don't go to him crying if you get a B...
Prof Beltran is seriously the best prof I have ever had so far, i failed mac1105 prior to taking it with him, i thought it was such a hard subject until i took him as a professor, i would sit infront every class always answered the questions, he made me LOVE math, i got an awesome grade, he teaches so good, fun, sweet, helpful, the best. take him!!
i rated him already but i forgot to mention that he does so much for his students to pass puts videos online for us to study from, puts all the notes online, explains so well, that anyone who takes him will not only love him and consider him the best prof, but get a good grade and end up loving math. best in dade, i recommend everyone to take him!!
CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME IF HE TEACHES MAC 1114??? PLSSSSS..I REALLY NEED TO KNOW 'CAUSE IM TAKING TRIGONOMETRY WITH DONALD ORR AND IM ABOUT TO DIE!!!
I RECOMMEND TAKING PROF. BELTRAN! He's concerned about his students & for them to pass. I took him for Summer A & even in 6 weeks, i'm passing with an A. He puts his video notes online. He gives reviews for his tests (the reviews consist of tests from the previous semester). HW isn't mandatory & gives extra credit! BEST TEACHER FOR MAC1105!
Professor Beltran Is very nice, and helpful. He truly cares about his students passing he is a honors professor but a great one. The book is a must he gives you homwork he explains how 2 work out the problems clearly. I believe i had quizzes in this class i took in back in 2008
This prof. is the best in all MDC, he helps you a lot, reviews all the problems you have questions on. I took him for MAC2312 and he was awesome at teaching and he really cares for the students, as for the tests they are easy but must study for them he is the best :D
Incredible person and teacher. He actually suggested on the 1st day of class not to take notes. His entire class is done on a tablet on a projector and you can print notes later from his site(Angel). Aside from that you can download the actual video of the class. He really cares about his students and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone.
He is the best math teacher!!! He is funny and smart and makes math interesting!!!! I would totally recomend this proffesor to anyone whether good or bad in math!! He was uber helpful and loved seeing his students learn! I <3 Him!!! lol ;)
THE ONLY PROFESSOR WORTH TAKING. By far the absolute best professor I have had in my entire college experience. He teaches the material clearly and with an unparalleled passion. He's young, funny, and is the essence of what an outstanding professor should be. Take any class with him, you won't regret it.
This prof. is great. I am the worst person to try and teach math too, so everything he explained and taught made sense. He is young and makes class fun. He helps you as much as possible and keeps the class interesting. Puts the notes online, reviews before test. I would take him for every single math class. Highly recommended :)
Prof. Beltran is very helpful. Makes class interesting, gives previous tests as review for upcoming test. He uses Angel to post notes & recordings of class, so if you weren't there, you didn't miss a thing. He's great.
Crystal Clear statistic class....records the class from a tablet pc and then its posted on angel....makes math fun, and his funny!!
Best math teacher EVER! PERIOD! I just took him for mac 2311 and breezed through it with an A. Because he's that good. I didn't even have to go to class because he posts videos of his lectures up although its better to attend because you can ask your own questions. Don't think twice, just sign up.
The best math professor I have ever had in my life! He made stats look like cake! Extremely helpful, and always concerned with students progress in class! Great attitude in class, there is no way you can fail this class! :) I love Beltran!
TAKE HIM! He is an awesome teacher.He leaves hw but doesnt pick it up.He records his class & puts the notes online so if you miss its like you didnt.He will repeat a problem until you get it & his office is open if you need him.Great teacher! tests are all multiple chocie 20 questions.
OK THIS PROFESSOR IS HOT WHEN HE SMILES, HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR OF MATH AT DADE, HE IS AMAZING AND REALLY TEACH GOOD, HE REALLY KNOWS WHAT HE IS TEACHING BUTTTTT...WOW HE TAKES WHOLE YEAR JUST TO GRADE TEST NOT KIDDING SO IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR DOING BAD ON THE CLASS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW CAUSE HE REALLY REALLY TAKES HIS TIME.. BUTTT HE IS THE BEST.
Super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!An EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This professor is hands down the best professor in miami dade college. Its unbelieveable. He makes sure you really know what he is trying to teach. He even gives you a review so you can have an idea how the exam will be. He also records everything that is done in class and puts it up on angel so if u missed anything u can go over it.
I guess the other students are talking for me. So, I just want to say only one more thing.. TAKE HIM!...Trust me, you're going to understand EVERYTHING! If you want to take this teacher, I recommend you to register FAST! =)
As far as Calc. 2,there are 4 test and an optional final.In my opinion, tests are extremely easy as long as you study the material and do the hw. Tests are heavily based on problems in class and handouts from angel.In general, one of the best math prof. in dade. May need time to adjust to his computer notes.Really helpful,takes time to grade, got A
THIS IS THE BEST BEST BEST BEST!!!! PROFESSOR. I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT MATH, BUT WITH HIM I GOT AN A ON ALL TESTS. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANGEL, DO THE HW AND PRACTICE THE REVIEW AND YOU'LL BE MORE THAN PREPARED FOR THE TESTS.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. He exemplifies the difference between a PROFESSOR and a TEACHER. You WILL learn in this class and you will do well.
HE IS JUST THE BEST PROFESSOR,I CAN STILL BELIEVE THAT SUMMER I GOT AN A. HE EXPLAINS VERY WELL AND CLEAR. IF YOY DO THE HW AND WORK ON THE HANDOUTS TRUST ME! YOU ARE GOING TO GET AN A!
He is def the best professor I have ever had. He makes statistics interesting and easy. He is always prepared and he makes it easy for students to learn by printing out handouts to help you with notes. I wish there were more teachers like him. You should take him without a doubt. He is the BEST!! :D
This professor is awesome!!! I'm really learning statistics even though I suck at Math!! I really love his teaching methos!!! TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM!!! HE'S HOT!!! LOL
Professor Beltran is the GOLD STANDARD of what a mathematics professor should be; 110% dedicated to your success, and he knows the material backwards and forwards. He's enthusiastic and gives you all the tools you need to understand it; he's a nice guy and an amazing professor, TAKE HIS CLASSES YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
He is one of the best math professors i've ever had!!! If you need to take this class, TAKE IT WITH HIM!!! You will LEARN stats!!! HE IS THE BEST!! I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!! TAKE HIM!!
If you need to take statistics with anyone this is the professor for you. He is not a professor, he is a God. 4 tests and optional final that replaces lowest test. I've always been awful at math and I managed to get an A in every exam and he made me interested in the material. Extremely helpful to students.
Professor Beltran is AWESOME! He really tries to make the subject easy by relating math to things we do in everyday life. He uses his old test to help students prepare for the actual test and it is really helpful. He only uses the book for optional homework. He likes to be high tech too lol. Pretty cool guy and above all, great professor.
Best math teacher in Dade. Attendance is not mandatory and he takes a video of each class for students who could not attend. All teachers should learn from him.
He is absolutely the best professor ive had so far in my two years at mdc. His style of teaching is amazing im not too into math and he made it soooo easy to understand. i wish he taught every level of math! he truly cares about his students...Take him you wont regret it!!
The class is very easy. Attendance is not mandatory since he posts every class online. IF you have to take calc 3, I do NOT recommend him. His class is super easy so there is no memorization what-so-ever, he gives you the formulas but this is a disadvantage for Calc 3!!! He also takes FOREVER to grade the tests.
Easy A class. One of the best math prof. in Kendall
He has a gift of making the subject very understandable and easy to follow. He is a great professor.
This Professor takes the cake for being the most generous teacher I've ever had. He goes out of his way constantly to accommodate the students' needs. Not only is he a great teacher, but he's also hilarious. TAKE HIM!
HE IS THE BEST! he is super caring and goes our of his way for his students. he even sometimes does not take his lunch break to have a study session for his classes. he is a very good teacher too! his tests are not hard at all. he gives you previous tests from other semesters so you more less know what to study this teacher is amazing and hilarious
need a math professor? LOOK NO FURTHER! take him! super chill, super easy, super A!
Very knowledgable of the subject. Makes it very easy to understand STA. his tests are clear, and if you go to class, do the homework and practice tests, you will learn and get a good grade. He never makes you feel you are dumb for asking even the simpliest questions. One of the best prof. MDC has. Take him!
TAKE HIM! He's is extremely clear and helpfu when it comes to the material. Very understanding, and makes the class go by quickly. Study what he gives you and your set! I suck at math, and i got an A in his class!
Took him for Stats and had the easiest class ever. He records his classes so if you miss a class you have no excuse to fall behind. He uses a clicker which is used during in class mini quizzes that help a lot. Get an iclicker in the first week and stay the whole class. Honestly, you can't do bad in this class!
Taking him now, and can easily say this is a great professor. Class is really easy and fun (as of now I passed 3 of the 4 test, 98,99,96, so i dont plan on taking the final) Here is my secret to passing this class with flying colors 1. Get the iclicker (extra credit 8 points) 2. Dont buy the book (even if you suck at math)3 FOCUS on the review test
If you love Donna Gerken then you will love Beltran! They have almost the same teaching style. This class consist of 4 test and an optional final. I have heard horor stories about other satistic classes but this professor makes it very easy!
Professor Beltran knows exactly how to teach. He is helpful and extremely clear. If you are confused about anything he will gladly clarify. He made math more interesting and I would gladly take him again for another class.
Love this professor! Calculus II is pretty hard but he makes it easy :) I honestly enjoyed this class and learned a lot. Definitely one of the best math professors I've ever had! If you do poorly in that class it's basically ENTIRELY your fault because he gives you ever resource you'll ever need to do well.
Amazing professor! Makes the subject so clear and easy to understand.
Bless this man. He films his lectures and posts them online, doesn't take attendance, is very clear, very helpful, he's just great. Math isn't my cup of tea but this class wasn't so bad. Take him!
He makes Cal II as easy as child play. Most of the class passed with a breeze. Explained the material crystal clear; thus tests were easy. Highly recommend!!!!
TAKE. THIS. PROFESSOR. He is so clear and thorough, he watches his students reactions, if we look lost he'll say "you guys look scared, let me explain it again". He records all his classes and he doesn't collect the homework. Doing his study guides before the test is enough. And he'll know your name even in an auditorium class. He's great and fun.
Awesome professor. He makes you work hard for your grade, but it will pay off at the end.
Fair grader, wont curve tests. Don't get the book, its used for hw (not collected). He's great at explaining the material and records his lectures and notes and posts it online. Skip class as much as you want, but you must study. 4 exams and an optional final. If you take the final, he drops your lowest grade. I suck at math, passed with a B :)
This guy is amazing, because he records the whole class and posts it online after class. Very, very, very helpful. Makes corny jokes but that makes it fun. I wished he does summer classes but he doesn't. Hopefully I get a teacher as close to as good as him this summer.
GOD BLESS THIS PROFESSOR. LITERALLY THE BEST, MOST HELPFUL TEACHER AT MDC. AMAZING!!! He taught me 4 years of high school math within 8 weeks. Also, offers 10pts of extra credit over 100. Study (minimally, really) and you will pass.
Beltran is worth the hype. He post video of all lectures online so you can rematch a lecure as many times as you want. 5 Test. Optional Final. Test questions come mostly from class handouts BUT also come from the HW, so do the HW as he suggest. He has an amazing way of simplifying math concepts. You have to study though, or else you could fail.
Not really sure where all the great ratings are coming from. Nice guy & all but he talks so much in his lectures instead of getting to the point & finishing the problem in a timely manner. I'm not good at math & I'm struggling in his class. Only test grades & an extra 8 points. There's nothing else to base your grade on.
First off, statistics is NOT a math class. The most math you use is the most basic algebra. I don't understand how much easier he can make this class. Records lectures, posts notes online, give formula sheet during tests, gives review which is what the test will look like, some extra credit, I mean come on that's amazing. Dr. Beltran is amazing!
He's a good math professor. He DOES care if his students understand or not. He constantly asks "does everyone get it?" He will answer all of your questions, even if they might be relatively simple. He gives study guides which are very similar in type to the tests. He's great.
Dr. Beltran is great. He's insanely organized & very clear w/ his explanations & lectures. He wants everyone to understand what he teaches, & he tries his best to make sure of that. Five tests & an optional final is what your grade will consist of. He emails us handouts before each lesson, test reviews, & he records his lectures. Amazing professor.
He explains extremely well, you'll leave his lectures knowing what to do. However, he delays on sending test reviews, posting grades, posting pretty much anything takes him a week. Other than the delays he's awesome. I understand this semester's been rocky but students shouldn't have to suffer because of it.
very organized, simple and funny professor, he writes the notes for you and sends you the notes in angel which really helped me out best math teacher ever!
Beltran is amazing. First Math I have ever gotten an A in. He is so clear in his lectures and sends you the notes along with a video of the class in case you missed or did not understand. He posts all grades on time and he gives exta credit. Truly amazing professor.
BEST math professor at Miami dade. He posts all his notes from class and records his class so you can go back if you missed class or to just watch them again. His reviews are just like the test and he goes over the whole thing and if you turn it in, you get a few extra credit points which can be helpful. He likes giving extra credit. TAKE HIM!!!!!
Best teacher with one of the best teaching techniques ive ever seen. He makes math look like the easiest thing! Class sessions and notes are posted online after every class. Very good reviews before test and alot of extra credit.
Beltran is AWESOME! I'm a communications major and math is my toughest subject but his teaching style allowed me to better comprehend the material. He is extraordinary and I recommend for all of you to take him. He gives reviews for the exams and doesn't collect the homework. Cool guy and he posts lectures online! TAKE HIM you won't regret it.
NO HOMEWORK AND HE RECORDS ALL CLASSES AND PUTS THEM ONLINE. BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD, LOVES HIS JOB. NOTHING MORE TO SAY EXCEPT HE IS THE GREATEST. NO HOMEWORK, JUST 4 TESTS AND OPTIONAL FINAL WHICH IF TAKEN YOU REPLACE LOWEST TEST GRADE WITH THAT FINAL.
If you suck at math... take him! BEST PROFESSOR AT DADE.
I took Professor Beltran spring (2015) semester, his class at this time was in an auditorium setting. He 1) records his lectures 2) gives review sheets 3) optional final. Sounds like cake? Don't slack off and not show up to class you need to keep up with the lectures!! Theres no hw but his reviews are good. The book isnt mandatory but practice
AWESOME! 4-5 tests and they are exactly like the reviews he gives to take home and goes over.. I mean how can you not pass with an A. He was nice enough to provide the textbook online for free and also a hardcopy for those who don't have Internet. Do yourself a favor, TAKE HIM
Exceptional Professor! I honestly SUCK at math, but his class was so clear and easy it wouldve been hard getting anything else than an A. Records the lectures so you can go over them whenever you want, and reviews are just like the tests. Seriously, take him!
Take this professor! Statistics is extremely complex as it is and this prof is the best one to teach it ! He is always there for you to help, he never has problem answering questions. The BEST math teacher i have ever had. I passed this class with an A. You will not regret taking this professor! 4 test and optional final, NO HOMEWORK!!!
Prof. Beltran is the best professor at MDC. He explains the problems clearly, answers any question you have, his reviews are similar to the exams. He gives 4 exams and an optional final. Im taking him next semester for Stats!
One of the best professors in Miami Dade! VERY HELPFUL! When class does not understand he will go out of his way and teach it all over again until we understand. Records his lectures so if you miss a day you just follow up with notes! Definatly recommended!
one of the best professors i have ever taken. is very considerate and helpful. works well with student. major chili pepper :) i definitely recommend.
All the reviews of professor Beltran could not be more accurate. I took him by chance for my repeat attempt in MAC1105. He explained everything so accurately and really showed desire in making sure everyone is on the same page. Even though it was a blended course I finally was able to pass with an A! I'm taking him for stats next!!
Luis was the best professor that I had while I was in MDC I took all my math classes with him. He's very clear about all the work and he also sends you a video of the class just Incase you miss a day or two. I recommend professor Beltran to everyone his truly the best math professor in MDC.
Coming from a student who has taken a handful of math teachers at Miami-Dade, Beltran is hands down the best professor at Dade. I haven't even completed the term yet, and I know I will pass either way because of his teaching methods. He is extremely clear and will help you no matter what. Do the test reviews, attend the class and you will pass!
Professor Beltran is probably one of the only math teachers I've loved. He's funny and makes class interesting. Gives homework but it is not graded. 4 tests with an optional final and gives reviews before each test!! Can't slack though, must do the reviews a couple times but by then you'll be good. Take him!!
nice and willing to help if you go to his office
The best math professor I've ever had. He is very nice and cares about his students. His lectures are clear and never boring PLUS HE RECORDS THEM (this is a life saver!) grade consist of attendance and participation, 4 Test(similar to reviews) and optional final. I Have never been good at math and passed with an A! TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN. Best wishes!
Rushes through and skips steps. He was rude when I asked a question.
Professor Beltran is hands down the most AMAZING professor you can take at Dade. He is very caring of his students and goes above and beyond to make sure you get the material and lectures. There is no possible way for you to fail his class because he even takes daily notes and RECORDS THE MATERIAL. You cannot slack though and always have to review.
Dr. Beltran is hands down one of the BEST professors at MDC. honestly I hate math so much and in the past have failed some math courses but I got an A in this class! Math was surprisingly my favorite class this semester because of Dr. Beltran. And he records all his lectures and so you can go back to them if you missed class or are confused.
This professor is hands down awesome and by far my best professor his assignments are super clear to the max. I only received a C because I'm not math savvy I would've gotten a A. Never understood math until I took his class. Tutors are helpful to if your not good in math in general.
The best professor I have had in Miami Dade. Math was never my strong suit but he made it very clear and has patience when you ask him many questions. Always recommend to everyone. Amazing guy and teacher
Ah-mazing. Took Prof. Beltran twice MGF1106 and STA2023 it was so worth it. 4 test, they all have reviews in which he goes over and there is an optional final. He records his lectures, so if you're absent or didn't understand something you can go back to those. Hands down best math professor so take him guyssss
Professor Beltran is a really good teacher, this was an easy class and he explains everything cleary. i didnt even paid much attention in class and i got an A in every test, so is an easy course.
Dr. Beltran is an absolutely great professor. He clearly enjoys what he does and he cares about teaching. He is very organized. Dr. Beltran takes time to explain and answer questions. He records and uploads all his lectures so if you miss a class you can always catch up. He also does test reviews and extra reviews . He is an asset to MDC!
Honestly I am one of those students who has never been good at mad, Professor makes everything he is teaching very clear and he doesn't move on until everyone understands. Very nice guy and honestly best math teacher I have ever had. He records all his classes, therefor if you miss you can watch it at home. Homework is not mandatory.
Professor Beltran is one of the most amazing teachers. His reviews are the same as the test. There are 4 test and an optional 5th exam. He drops the lowest grade. Take him if you suck at math, you wont regret it.
He's class was super easy. All the lectures are recorded and put on blackboard. There are only 4 grades. He is a good teacher and is super nice. By far the easiest course I have took in College.
Tons of great energy and great laughs. Amazing tech savvy guy and will really make you love math. Goes at a steady pace and UNDERSTANDS this material is new to us. Online vids help in case you miss class & yes the review is just like the test. He even does extra reviews! If you don't take him you sleep. Wish he was teaching calc this term.
He is way too nice for a college professor. Goes over and beyond to provide everything you need to pass. Pretty much spoon feeds you the materials. This guy is awesome.
Amazing professor!!!! Take him if you have the opportunity!!
Best math professor I've had in years, would take him again! Amazing lectures and he RECORDS every single lecture and uploads them to blackboard every week! He uses a Turning Technologies response card to grade participation and attendance in class so you wil have to buy one.
4 tests, 20 questions each. Those are the only grades you will have in the class. His lectures are amazing. The reviews are the same as the tests. You will need to get a clicker. Attendance not required. He records his lectures and posts them online. You can study a day before and still pass. Amazing professor.
This professor should be the President of Miami Dade College and the one running the school! I've never witnessed so many students who love and respect their teacher as much as they do him - our entire class just kept clapping and clapping for him for a super long time on the last day of class!! Why? - because he will make you believe in yoursel
Explains the material super well! Always wants to help and make sure that no student is left confused or behind.. nice professor! Test reviews are almost identical to test(study and ask questions!)
GOAT professor. an amazing person who truly cares and does his absolute best to make sure you understand the material and pass the class. 10/10 would take again.
Beltran is super tech savy so he records his lessons (visual and audio) in case you miss anything! Study guides for all tests and they're perfect review for test. STRONGLY recommend him. STRONGLY. Textbook not necessary, he explains everything in detail, it doesnt get easier than this.
Prof. Beltran is great. 4 tests w/ optional final (homework is optional so those are the only grades), his lectures are recorded so you can access them online later, and he explains the material throughly so you can ask as many questions and nobody feels left behind. Don't slack though! If you can solve the problems on his review you'll be fine!
Professor Beltran is amazing! SO caring towards his students, he really helps you understand the material. I was a little scared to starts stats but Beltran made it so easy for me to understand, i passed with a B. Make sure you do the study guides before the tests, they help a lot. TAKE HIM
I've taken him for college algebra and stats and he is honestly one of the best professors in Miami dade. He's super caring and understanding and tests are exactly like the review so just study that and you'll pass. 4 tests and 1 optional final that replaces lowest test grade. You'll pass any class with him, in a heart beat! 100% recommend!!!
I have taken math classes with professor Beltran, and I wish he were my teacher for ever, great, great professor, I recommend. Michael Anguelo
You couldn't ask for a better professor. He records his lectures, and does not have mandatory attendance. There are 4 tests and 1 optional final that will drop any grades from the previous tests that weren't so well. His study guides are very similar to the tests and he explains his work in detail. He is very committed to his job of teaching.
Took him for MGF1106 and also for STA2023 and is probably the best professor I've taken at Dade. Very funny and cool guy makes learning the stuff easy just pay attention in class and do the study guides they are identical to the tests.
He's The very best MDC has to offer! Take him every class he teaches!!
Awesome teacher to take for Statistic! His lectures are great, gives homework but doesnt grade them. He gives four exams and a final, plus extra credit! As long as you take good notes and do the study guides, youll pass!
Prof. Beltran is sooooo caring for his students. He records his lectures and in class notes in case you miss a class. And he also gives you handouts of the notes so it's not "a race with the teacher to copy down notes" He's super funny!!! I've learned so much from his class. He's patient with his students and has study days before the exams!
Hes the best professor Ive ever had. Records his lectures in case you want to rewatch it and gives extra credit
Beltran is the best math professor ive ever taken. hes super organized with his notes and uploads his lectures online. his tests are similar to the handouts so i would always just study from those and practice with some of the hw he assigned. there was no other grade besides tests and 5 points extra credit question on each test. take him!!
Professor Beltran is definitely the BEST professor I've had in MDC. The patience and charisma in which he teaches his classes makes you want to learn. Attendance is important, do the homework which helps you further understand the material, don't disrupt him while he's teaching and DO NOT LEAVE EARLY. class ends when class ENDS. GREATEST PROFESSOR!
Best professor you can take a MDC
This is the best math professor I have ever had! Hes so easy! If I did well in his class anyone can, just 4 exams & an optional final. His test reviews are extra credit if you do them, and are exactly like the test.
Don't even think about it twice, and just take him!! He is an amazing professor, probably the best in MDC. There are 4 tests and 1 optional final. Attend class, do his handouts and the review and you will pass with an A. Textbook is not necessary. He records his lessons and gives extra credit.
Superrrrrr easy class. Attendance isnt mandatory. The book isnt mandatory. He records his lectures. Gives ton of extra credit and the best part is that his reviews are an exact replica of the test. Take him!!!
Mr. Beltran is a amazing teacher. Just print his class handouts, take em to class and take notes on them. His tests are exact from the handouts and few questions from his study guide. I suggested you guys do his hw that his assigns and you'll do great on his test. Best teacher ever
Amazing professor. Best I have ever taken at Miami Dade no one has ever complained about this teacher. You will not regret it
Amazing professor, youll love stats after taking this class with him. He makes the material very clear and so easy to understand, 4 tests, thats it... youll pass but you will also learn a lot
never did i think i would pass statistics with an A+ he is the best at teaching!!!
He made Stats easy and fun! gives similar study guides to test and extra credit. he also records his lectures in case you have to miss class. Take him, he's truly awesome!
This professor is out of this world!! His lectures are incredible and if you miss a class(or dont go at all) he records his lectures and notes and posts them all on Blackboard. I got As on all 4 exams! The study guides he gives are basically identical exam and oh.. he doesnt collect homework !!! Everyone needs to take this professor !
One of the best math professors at MDC. 4 tests, which he gives you extra credit on. Homework not collected. All lectures are recorded so everything is on blackboard. Just printout the handouts and you fill them in together in class. His reviews are very similar to his tests, he just changes the numbers of signs. Really know his math stuff.
Professor Beltran is absolutely amazing. His lectures are easy to comprehend and engaging. If you take notes and/or watch his daily video notes then you can definitely pass the tests. He uploads his notes and records his lectures so you dont have to attend every class, but I would recommend you do. I highly recommend taking his class.
HIM AND LEANDRO ALVAREZ ARE THE BEST MATH TEACHERS AT DADE. I am awful at math but he makes you understand it!!!! His class does make you want to slack because he post his lectures online but if you go in person he offers extra credit assignments. you literally can not fail(if you do I'm worried), he cares a lot about students. EASY A IF U TRY
Good easy professor for math.
I wouldn't say you have to buy the book unless you want extra practice but his reviews are like the test. There is NO cheating allowed and he makes sure and he makes you work for your grade but you can tell he loves his job and he makes his lectures EASY and is there for help! Coming from someone bad at math. Post his lectures, no way to fail
Makes the material very understandable and relatable. 4 tests and an optional final. If you do study guide before the test and understand everything, you will be fine. Offers help if you do not understand. Gives review before every test. Lectures are available whenever you need them if you miss a class. Loved the class ambiance.
Cake. No other words. gives you the formulas for the test and gives reviews
This is like a stats class for dummies. He really goes through everything step by step and post video lectures, and his notes on blackboard. You do have to put in effort for a good grade but he makes the material easy to understand unlike many.
Professor Beltran did an excellent job of explaining the hard concepts in Statistics. I have never before felt so confident in math. He explains everything in great detail, makes all the notes easily accessible, has a review before the exam and finds helpful material for at home practice. No homework. By far the best teacher to have for stats.
Best teacher ever, gives study guides and it's the exact replica of the test just different numbers. He explains everything clearly, easy A hands down.
I absolutely hated math and left it for last because I failed it multiple times. I took this class skeptical and walked out having a new look at Stats. Prof. Beltran has AMAZING notes, which he documents, in which you have full access to. The only professor who makes Stats simple and easy to understand instead of confusing you. P.S. No Accent
Good Professor, I had him for Cal 1, 2, and 3. He records his notes in case you need to go over the class again. He also does a review for each exam, and will drop the final if you did on all tests. Really good classes, he makes sure you understand the material, and assigns homework to reinforce his lectures. Really inspirational and cool Professor
Professor Beltran is the best math professor I've had in MDC! His teaching style is great, he records all his lectures including reviews and uploads them on blackboard. His reviews are phenomenal, highly recommend him! As long as you do the reviews, you will pass the class!
Professor Beltran is how all math teachers should be. He's kind, patient, and reasonable. He posts his lectures on Blackboard and also provides test reviews that are great practice for exams. If you've taken upper-level math this class should be a BREEZE! There is no reason to do poorly in STA2023 as Professor Beltran is a superb professor.
I appreciate that the lectures and handouts he gives out for each lesson are on BB in MDC. More professors at Dade should do that. You will pass as long as you do the HW... if you need additional help, go see professor Leonard at youtube for calc 1 - 3. With those two resources its tough to fail, tbh.
Professor Beltran's class was laughably easy. Maybe this was the norm for calculus 3 but I doubt it considering the problems I saw friends taking in their calc 3 classes. If you're just wanting to take an easy professor, go for it. If you want to understand the concepts and if you're heavy into things like proofs, use the textbook on your own time.
Def take him!! The best thing about his class is that he records and posts his lectures on BB just in case you weren't able to make it to class or want to go back & see a lecture from a week ago when you're studying for a test. He doesn't grade hw so your grade kind of depends on the four MC tests but he does give extra credit opportunities.
simple the best!!!!
I have never gotten above a C in any math class, ever. I passed this class with not only two tests I earned an A on, but passed the class with a high B. Hes a great professor, easy to listen to. He takes the tests and makes an entire study guide with the problems worked out. Best math professor Ive ever had
Luis Beltran is simply an incredible professor. His teaching style has multiple learning methods incorporated with one another; he uploads his lectures inside of the blackboard, so if you do miss class, you can easily review the class he recorded. And his study guides are EXACTLY like the test. You just have to put in the work.
He is by far one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He post all his lectures on line along with the notes and if you do the homework and go over the notes you will be fine. He is very kind and understanding when you ask him math related questions.
He is an awesome professor, his explanations are really good, also he records the class and you have access to his notes. Pay attention to the class, do the extra credits, study the test reviews and you should be fine.
Great professor. Made statistics very easy. Has study guides and gives extra credit for each test. Records his lectures and posts them online, and there are homework assignments due at the end of the semester. Overall a great class.
Professor Beltran is the best math teacher Ive ever had! He records and posts his lectures online which help a lot if you want to remember things from class or practice at home. Your grade is 95% of tests and 5% of homework. He gives you study guides that are exactly like his test just with different numbers so utilize them!! He is very helpful.
Professor Beltran is clearly the best math professor on Miami Dade, he is caring, he helps you pass the class, he records the classes so in case you missed the class or want to go over it again you can watch the class online, the study guides are literally the tests themselves and the homework is extra credit for every test and it help you a lot.
your grade is comprised of 4 tests but Professor Beltran prepares you well for them. He provides a study guide for every test and tries to give partial credit even if you just attempted a problem. He wants you to succeed but you do need to study and work for it in order to do well.
This professor was extremely easy, all you have to do is wait for him to give you the study guides and practice them and you will pass with flying colors, i never showed up for one class, because attendance is taking through the app and got an A on the tests
Man I miss this guy. Appreciate what you guys have in front of you. Don't take him for granted and come to class! Do not depend only on the videos(only use in case you really can't make it) If you have the luck of catching him for which ever math class, do not look anywhere else. BE GRATEFUL Miss you Luis:(
EXCELLENT. BEST PROF IN MDC PICK HIM!!! YOU WILL PASS
His lectures were always clear and he made the notes so easily accessible if you were not able to make it to class. If you pay attention, you will pass. My only complaint is that he is slightly condescending, which bothered me throughout my time in his class.
Professor made sure the online class was structured well.
Has to be by far, 100% the best math professor i ever had, this is the first time i get an A in a math class since middle school, and this is college calculus, Dr. Beltran is just such a good teacher that learning in that class is fun and simple. He also handled the covid transition really well. If you want to learn and have a great prof, pick him!
Great teacher. Highly recommend for any math. Shows multiple ways to answer a problem and will always try his best to make you understand. Tests were super easy
I highly recommend professor Beltran! He explains everything step by step. He makes the class interesting. He is extremely understanding. His study guides are exactly like his tests. One of the best professors at MDC Kendall!
I took this class for this fall semester this class needed for transfer, this pandemic has cause a lot of stress on everyone but especially we as students but I tried I did good on the tests there 6 test worth 30%, midterm 30%, and final 30% there Proctored I emailed him he said I should drop he does not even teach, don't waste your time.
dont take him online!! 6 TESTS, 1 PROCTORED MIDTERM, 1 PROCTORED FINAL!!! A LOTTT OF PEARSON HW. Gives a review for each test and the review has the same type of questions as the one on the test. Easy to pass but a LOT of work to do. Takes 1-2 days to respond to messages. I am not done with the course I will end with an A for sure hard to not pass.
There are 6 tests and reviews, the only good thing was the reviews which helped. The tests were like every two weeks more or less for the entire semester. Plus both PROCTORED Midterm & final. No option to take the Final Optional nor have it at least not proctored. A lot of Pearson hw, you have to buy the code.
I wish I can give this professor a higher rating, but I am so disappointed. I have spent countless hours studying for this class. You're teaching yourself.. he doesn't teach... He recommends you spend 12 hours a week in his class... he's not kidding. LOTS of hw & tests are worth a heavy percentage. Proctured midterm/final. Gotta put in the work!
I have always struggled with math but Beltrans lectures are easy to follow. Pros: Homework, textbook, and attendance are optional. You only have to worry about writing notes and studying. I recommend doing the optional review before the test. It helps a lot. Cons: Only grades in the grade book are the test and the extra credit points.
I took Dr. Beltran during Spring 2020, amazing is an understatement. For in-person classes, there are only 4 exams (not cumulative) and each exam had an extra credit question. Homework was optional. I didn't use the book, I used the work we did in class to study. Calculus 1 is by far my favorite and extremely easy, easier than pre-cal/trig!
Great prof! Theres only 4 tests through Blackboard.. no they arent proctored. He makes his own tests, 20 ?s & multiple choice. The lectures & reviews are related to the tests. IF you buy the book and do the given assignments it is for extra credit ONLY. Homework is optional.
From reading the other reviews, it seems he's really good for in-person classes. As for online, I think not. I took the class online and it was so stressful. The problem is that he gives LOTS of work. Tests and proctored exams were a huge portion of your grade. If you do badly on either of them, your grades will drop easily. Do not take him online!
Professor Beltran is very thorough. His assignments are clear and concise. If you study all of his PowerPoints and do the labs, you will do well. I'm not good at math but with lots effort, you will pass. Took him online for the Fall 2020.
Amazing professor. Breaks down everything in his lectures. Everything becomes easy. Grade is based off of four tests. Extra credit practice book work can give 5 extra points. He responds to your emails if you need help. Very caring man
Truly cares that you understand the material and willing to help. I was skeptical about an online math class but he recorded his lectures and was excellent in explaining the material. He cares how you progress in the class and very accessible. I would take him again if I needed another math class. 4 exams: 10 questions and extra credit offered.
The professor does answer emails and blackboard messages quick, however doesn't give any lectures. Just tells you to get the access for the textbook and mymathlab for homework. The quizzes, midterm, and final are the ones that are really worth your grade. Don't take him online!
He is the best math professor Ive ever had. I had a weak calculus base and he really helped me. Hes a great professor, take him. He gives homework just for practice you dont have to turn it in. He records the lectures even though its in person. He records what he writes on the board during class too. Take him, hes great
He was honestly the best professor I've ever had! He explains the material thoroughly and does his best to do it as if we were complete beginners. He understands if you forgot previous concepts and reviews them. His lectures are always recorded, so you can miss class and still catch up by watching the recording. Phenomenal!
BEST professor I've ever had! I did calculus II 7 years ago and I was worried that going back to school I would barely pass Calc III. He records his lectures. He clearly explains everything and briefly goes over the material from Calc I and II that we may have forgotten. HW is optional but great practice. 4 tests no final! Give that man a raise!
Luis Beltran is a great professor, and I would highly recommend anyone at MDC take him for Calculus. He records all his lectures, and each lecture centers around a well organized hand-out which he uploads to Blackboard. Exam reviews are provided, and generally match the content you will find on the test. His lectures are exceptional.
Best Calculus Professor in Miami Dade. He made Calc 3 very easy and understandable. Only wish he teaches Differential equations course too. Would not hesitate taking Professor Beltran again. Very nice and caring too.
Honestly, the class was easy. It is a lot of pearson homework (31 assignments to be exact) so keep an eye out for that. I managed to finish with an A in the class, the exams take up the majority of the grade (35% for midterm and 35% for final). Both exams are proctored, and you have a quiz every two weeks about the assignments on pearson.
This professor is amazing. The lectures are all recorder so student can look back and see the work. Grading consists of 4 tests. 2 non proctored online and 2 proctored, last test replaces lowest grade.
Professor Beltran is an amazing statistics professor who explains very clearly for everyone to easily understand. The 4 tests are the only things that are graded, the homework is extra credit to boost the test grade. So make sure you do the study guide before taking the tests.
He makes class very easy and gives a lot of flexibility. Literally stop scrolling just take him
There are extra credit opportunities and only 4 easy tests, of which 2 are not proctored. He's also pretty funny. You can't go wrong with him.
I love Professor Beltran. I had such a great time in his class, and I've never learned a subject as effectively as I learned statistics in his class. If you have an option, please do yourself a favor and take him. He is very sweet and cares that his class does well.
Prof Beltran is an awesome, respectable guy. Quizzes for every module, HW on pearson and a midterm and final. Calculus is hard, but Prof Beltran is determined to help you. Drops lowest quiz to help you pass. Took him fully online, but communication was consistent every week. Answers fast in Canvas. Take him!
Super nice guy. He records lectures for those who can't make it all the time. 4 exams, super easy. just make sure to study, it's a lot like the guides he gives you. There's no dumb questions to him and that's rare from a math teacher lol
I loved his class! If you struggle with math or need the credit TAKE HIS CLASS!! No HW but gives it has a practice if you want. If you happen to miss class don't worry, he's uploads all notes and videos of that class. Only four test with extra credit for doing the review and drops the lowest grade to replace it with the last highest one.
Professor Beltran is an amazing stats teacher. The class has 4 easy exams, with 2 unproctored. Engaging lectures are recorded, so you can review them anytime. For study prep, I found unstuckstudy ai and the provided study guides very helpful!
There are lots of homework assignments, small no proctored quizzes every module due every 2 weeks, very easy. Midterm and Final are proctored but they are all the same questions from the review, so basically you are all set. He replies to your email on Canvas very fast. Just do the work and you'll be fine. Trust me.
He is very kind and wants you to succeed. He has 6 tests and the lowest grade gets dropped
I would not recommend a professor who did not respond to my emails. Tough grader, and lots of homework if you take this class online. Get ready if you do not have any other option, because in order to pass you might need a strategy with your study routine, the tests, and the high volume of homework.
I am not the best at math, but I was never lost with Professor Beltran. This man knows how to teach and explains the concepts clearly. I appreciated how he would review each topic and gives a study guide (similar to the exams) before each test. There is no homework, but he gives out some extra credit. He also records and Posts all his lectures.
Great math professor he cares about his students, most professors would not care about their students and he does and he's very easy. Gives extra extension dates for assignments if you need it.
