Cool accent, especially when he says "integral". He'll talk a lot about the Greeks stuff too. His favorite integration technique is "by parts".

Very Good Teacher!!! i recommend him. has a slight accent, but understandable. explains topics very well to make sure you understand. i had a 52% going into the final and he passed me with a C because i did good on the final! VERY FAIR TEACHER!!!!

Not really getting used to his accent, but I know he's kind to answer questions. Tests for stats were pretty easy 'coz they're quite straight ahead, no tricks. No hw assigned. Overall, he's a good teacher if you understand his accent.

I REALLY, REALLY, enjoyed this class! Professor Mendez-Nunez is one of the very few teachers that will go that EXTRA mile just to make sure that U learned SOMETHING! He is clear, creative, EXTREMELY fair and a WONDERFUL TEACHER!

alittle airheaded but very nice and smart

Good teacher. Can be hard to understand at first, but you get used to it. Always willing to help, though class will likely be difficult. Gives a thorough understanding with no BS. Take him only if you're willing to work, but don't expect an easy A. If you're hard-working, you will learn a lot.

He was a good teacher.A little difficult to understand, but he is willing to help.If you ask then you can go to office hours and work on what you need.There are lots of quizzes and they are kind of tricky so you have to do good.Online hw, but frustrating to do sometimes.He just wants to make sure that if you learn anything it is to get your degree.

You "most probably" will like him and the class

He is a great math professor. Gives extra percentage to your grade if your attend a certain amount of beacon sessions with a math tutor. Grades easy and fairly!

Attend ALL lectures & do ALL of the homework, as he will include what seem to be inconsequential problems on each exam that aren't in the homework or text (but he will give you a heads up b4 test). He is very helpful though, and is willing to do a lot of problems in class, which is important for this course. Recommended for the eager-to-learn.

teaches high level math with a strong accent, though he reiterates most of his explanations until nearly everyone understands it. a great professor if you can get past trying to understand what he is talking about

At first he is hard to understand. You will, however get the hang of it. He is the person who singlehandedly taught me to think about math. I got a B because he is hard. But I dont regret it at all

The BEST, yes the Best math teacher I've ever had.He was very patient with us math phobes. His accent is thick, but unless you're a backwoods hick it's not a problem at all. First time math made sense. Loved his stories and use of metaphor to aid in understanding material. Highly recommend for lower division math. I love Nunez-Mendez!

AT THE BEGINNING, I THOUGHT HE WAS HARD BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING, BUT ONCE I GOT USED TO IT....ALL THE THINGS HE TAUGHT MADE SENSE. LIKE THE OTHER PERSON SAID, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALLY UNDERSTOOD MATH. I WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION AND DO YOUR WORK, YOU WILL PASS HIS CLASS.

I thought he was a great teacher...but you had to get through the first couple of weeks before he stopped trying to scare off students...and he had a really thick accent that you had to get used to.

he is a little confusing, but he is not hard at grading. Besides, if you go talk to him after class, he'll be happy to explain to you again. His tests is sometimes hard, sometimes easy :(.If u can do homework, u'll be fine :).Overall, he is not that horrible or unable to teach. He just doesn't want to give an "A" for students who don't deserve it

He is a good teacher, but not very clear during lecture. Sometimes he did not follow the book when he was teaching. However, if you did all the homework and read the examples on the book, you would be fine on the quiz and test.

This teacher is very interested in teaching you math related to the real world. yeah he has an accent, but if you pay attention then there wont be a problem...he is extremely helpful if the students want to raise thier hand and ask, if you dont ask he will move on.....im taking this teacher again for algebra 2

his accent is really strong but he teaches good. no homework. only if you need more help then you can do your own problems from the book & ask for help the next day. sometimes it's hard to understand his techniquies for certain things 'cause he wants to teach it his way but you can always do it your way. never understood how to do word problems.

Sure, he has an accent. I got used to it after just an hour or so, and I'm no expert. I did badly in the class until I started doing enough homework to know how to do it. I though he taught perfectly well. He's very, very funny. He makes hilarious faces when he thinks. Personally, I recommend him. He's hard, but math is supposed to be hard.

even though people may think he is a bad teacher, he was actually helpful to me. he helps students when they ask for help and attendance is important. yes, he has a strong accent but throughout my time in his class, i actually learned more than I did in high school. he is also nice!

I think that it is up to you if you choose to learn. He is extremely helpful. If you have questions he will make sure that you understand it before he proceeds his lecture. You just can't be shy and not ask. If you have questions ask him. He isn't going to embarrass you. He just wants to help you succeed.He is an amazing teacher.

a great professor

I love this professor. He is very good at what he does. You can ask any question and he will answer you. I have an A in his class and like in any other class you want the grade then stop complaining and do the work.

You will have to work HARD in his class, at least 8 hours study/per week. Ask him questions, even in class. Don't come late or leave early. He was a research mathematician at UC DAVIS, but wanted to help lower income students, he is helpful to those that work. Don't imagine you will get an A, if you are a science/math major take him, you will learn

hard to understand in class = automatically tuning out the professor = useless attendance = bad grade

He is pretty straight forward. If he says that we are going to have the quiz out of the examples from the specific chapter, it means just memorize the darn examples. He doesn't have any project at the end of the semester. Before the exam he lets you know exactly what kind of problems he is going to have on there. He is easy to pass.

hes helpful,always avalaible in office

Professor Nunez is a nice teacher. He explains Math consepts clearly, does not give you a lot of homework. You don't have togive your homework back to him for points. He has 5 or 6 quizes through the semester to prepare you for test. I Don;t know how he teaches Preculculus or calculus but for math 100 and 120 he is very good and helpful teacher

Nunez is without a doubt the BEST teacher I've ever had! He is super nice. He is really funny and isn't too strict.He will go over something as long as it takes for you to feel comfortable and understand so long as you care about the class and want to succeed. He will even stay late in his office to help you. BEST!

Extremely easy class if you go to lectures. All his test/quiz problems are almost directly from the book. He can be a little confusing sometimes but if you ask him questions, he is willing to explain until you get it. On test days, he answers any questions you have before the test. He drops your lowest test and quiz.

you can learn a lot from this class...

This is my first class I've taken since I was in high school, and I have to say that this teacher is the easiest, most awesome teach I've had in a really long time. He jumps around a little bit but other than that I think he's super easy and really tries to help you if your not understanding.

Did not have a good experience in this class, difficult material but the professor explained it the best he could. Tests were frequent and pretty difficult. Need to be self-motivated to do homework and study if you are going to take this class. One benefit, no homework due ever.

Best teacher I have ever had in my life. I got a B and I didnt even have the book. I couldve easily gotten an A but slacked when I thought this wouldnt be on my transcript :/. Do ALL the hw, ask questions in class (he is VERY good at explaining things even though he has an accent!). You can Ace this class easily. Practice, practice, practice.

So even though he has a accent he is extremely clear and teaches things in a way where it is easy to learn. He doesn't get hung up on small details. He wants you to understand the process which I have never been able to do. I think because He doesn't assign homework but you do have to do problems everyday in class.

Ill start off saying im from a 4year institution taking it as a summer GE course, with that in mind, he takes his time and is very detail. This also is a downer, what killed me was how PICKY he is on grading tests... one good thing is you will know exactly what sections will be on the test and he encourges questions inclass which is good. Good luck

Great professor. Very helpful he tries his hardest to get you to understand. He seem like one of the few professors that cares and willing to take the extra steps.

I highly recommend Luis Mendez for Stats. He is fair and really wants his students to do well. I have always struggled with math but did well in 120 and in Stats. I often went to his office hours and he was always helpful. He has dry humor which is subtle and amusing.

I love the way he teach math. He was not a hard math teacher. He didn't give homework. It was up to do to do homework and pass the class. over all great teacher.

Nunez was one of the greatest math teachers I have had. Im not the greatest at math and he really took his time to help me understand the material when I needed it. I would go into his office hours almost every chance I could and had him show me or explain things over and over until I understood. He was very patient and kind. I would recommend!

Best professor ever. Fact. I love the way he explains things because he does so in such a way that a guy like me who sucks at math can pass a class. He does have a very deep accent, but that's not a problem at all. The only way you could possibly be confused in his class is if you don't pay attention

Ask questions if you are confused and he will gladly reexplain anything you don't get. I recommend getting the book so you can do practice problems (hw)and ask about them in class. He was a great teacher and will help you out with your grade if he sees you are really trying. Yes he has an accent, but it made me listen and focus more during class.

I liked his class a lot. If you're going to go further with math, he is a great professor to take. If you understand what he teaches in class you definitely don't have to buy the book. On the other hand, he goes really fast with his explanations, so its easy to get lost if you are having a hard time understanding something.

He's a tough grader, but allows partial credit on tests. He does have an accent, but isn't a problem. There are five tests which you MUST STUDY FOR! (#3 Factoring was a pain), and a final which is cumulative. Weekly quizzes on material he goes over in class. No graded or assigned hw. Buy the book to get more clarification, and take good notes!

He explains things well but can sometimes make mistakes. Book is not necessary. Does not collect homework. He reviews the type of questions that will be on exams so take notes and study those to pass the exams. Gives partial credit. Easy A if you study.

He is a math teacher and if you hate math it's easy to blame. I love the way he teaches. If you are here to learn, and need math, he will be the teacher to take you there. He has helped me not only get past myself and the road blocks i put in place with math, and has helped me to understand it and how to like it. I am excited to continue on.

He shows every different possible way of doing each problem so it gets confusing. If you go to his office hours though he does a good job of explaining in a way that you can understand. Its expected that you will do homework after class and honestly if your taking a math course that's all math is practice practice practice.

He made me love math again and really teaches well. If you show him you want to succeed he will make sure you do and push you to pass. Loved him

if old school teaching is not your type, then don't take this professor. He is very straightforward. Doesnt assign hw, since he expects you to study. Quizzes every week to motivate you. Tests are reasonable, it is based on all the handouts he gives. Last math I took was 2yrs ago, spent an hour a day studying, and guaranteed you'll pass the course

Prof M.N. has a no-nonsense approach to math. Very traditional. Holds your feet to the fire and treats you like an aspiring-scientist instead of a student. If you don't study, lectures will be extremely hard. No HW. Gives handouts/study guides based on lecture. Don't expect pretty numbers on exams; there will be logs, e^x, and exponential functions

He was one of the most helpful Professors I have ever had. Did a lot of practice in class rather than just lecture, which made it easier for me to learn. He really tries to make sure that you understand the material as well. No homework, and the tests weren't too bad and they were always based completely off of what we were studying.

Having taken Algebra 2 already in HS, I found this class very EZ. He basically only does examples, but that's really all you need. If you don't understand something, he is always happy to work with you 1-on-1 during his office hours. He tells you exactly what will be on tests before and either takes a whole class or half class to review for tests.

I had no idea what Stats was before this class, but Mendez-Nunez explains things slow and gives real life examples that make the course content easier to understand. He reviews before every exam, which is really nice. He's super weird and makes these strange hissing noises sometimes, but it's actually pretty hilarious.

I would definitely recommend Professor Mendez-nunez. After 4 times of trying to pass math 100 and 103 collectively, he is the only professor that taught in a way that helped me understand what to do. Homework is not graded, 5 tests, final and quizzes. He drops the lowest test score. He really cares about everyone understanding the material.

Math is hard to teach, and for me, also hard to learn. Mr. Nunez understood my difficulties and was willing to speak to me after class about how I can improve my grades. If ever given a chance, I will take him again. This is not an easy "A" class. Do not wait until the final test to ask him for help. Overall, a very good professor.

Professor Nunez is kind, smart and extremely knowledgeable.

Professor Mendez did a good job at preparing me for the trigonometry portions of the calculus classes I would have to take later on. I went into the class not having any idea what trig was all about, and came out of it with a good understanding. I would recommend utilizing the free tutoring offered by the college to help with his course.

Professor taught very well. It was easy to understand the material. He was also willing to help everyone who asked for help.

This professor is very kind and is willing to help you understand the material by explaining the concept as many times as needed. There are times where it may get difficult to sometimes keep track of what he is teaching and it does get confusing. Class requires immense amount of patience and attention. Willing to explain how to improve grades.

Great professor. He will be able to answer anything you throw at him. He has a thick accent, but you get used to it. No homework, but if you are not doing problems outside of class forget about getting an A. His tests are very hard, but last test and final are a bit easier. I really recommend this professor if you want a good understanding.

The ratings on here are bad because his classes are hard, but you will DEFINITELY learn the material if you take this professor. Grades based on tests/quizzes and a final. Gives out optional worksheets for practice, but does not assign homework. Occasionally he would talk about history and its connection to math which was quite fascinating.

On average, a difficult class is just because it is a math class, but if you pay attention and study the materials, your grade should be fine. No homework, but an online textbook is given. The final is cumulative from the whole semester. Great professor and answers questions thoroughly.
