I hope he is as good as the MDC Business students say that he is...
1st day of class seems like he is good at what he does, he does seem to know his subject matter
This professor gives a quiz every week, but they are not difficult. He is very helpful and really wants you to pass and do well. So, he will do what he can to give you a better grade.
Excellent professor, I wish all my professors were like him. He is easy going and understands that you have a life. Tests are online and easy. He assigns one fun group project, you have to put work on it but is not that hard. It is clear that he loves what he does. I would definitely take him again!
Professor Montenegro is specific and clear. His assignments help you to fully understand the subject and he is available to help you in any way he can. He cares about the students and even though the material is not the most engaging, He makes a great effort in making the class interesting. I loved my research communication class with him!
Great professor. Love having him. The class wasn't an easy A but it definitely wasn't hard at all. I would take him in a heartbeat again. He's nice and fun!
Professor Montenegro is one of the best professors I've had in FIU. He is clear and makes the subject interesting. This class was really helpful and can prepare you for future jobs
Awesome professor! First time having him and I wish he taught more classes. He teaches the material in the most interesting way possible. He is approachable, helpful and understanding. The relaxed learning environment allows you to really learn. Take him!
Professor Montenegro is an amazing teacher! He really cares about his students and makes the material interesting (which isn't particularly easy). There are quizzes pretty much every week on blackboard, they're short and he usually allows multiple attempts. There is a group project. I definitely recommend his class!
Great professor, really cares about his students. Had a great time in his class.
Professor Montenegro made a boring subject come to life. He engages his students in the material and brings real world research examples to class. And he knows everyone's name WTH? He was amazing!
He's awesome! You can tell he truly cares about his students, as everyone else has mentioned. He remembers everyone's names!!!! That's crazy for a college class. I would take him again in a heartbeat. He's made boring material easy to manage and understand. He just wants the best for students and he wants them to learn and pass. TAKE HIM!!
Great professor. Would love to have again if I wasn't graduating.
Great professor. Would love to have again if I wasn't graduating!
Knows what he's talking about, fair grader, very helpful, very nice. Class consists of online quizzes and group projects.
Professor Montenegro is a great professor - attentive to students and understanding. He is big on participation and may call on you if you're quiet, so be sure to speak up and participate from time to time. Quizzes were all online; group projects throughout the semester. Lectures can be long, but he does his best to make them interesting. Recommend
Great professor! I highly recommend him. Lectures are a bit long, but that's due to the course topic. Attendance matters! He's really sweet and understanding.
Honestly, the class is so boring in terms of material, but there's no questioning this man's intellect and his professionalism. Constantly gives students the benefit of the doubt. Only wants to see you succeed. Surveys aren't everyones cup of tea, but I respect this professor for making the best out of the situation.
Great professor, really cares about your grade and is very understanding. Attendance is part of your grade but he makes class as enjoyable as possible. There are quizzes every week but if you do them on time you will get a good grade.
Montenegro is a class act. He cares for his students and puts them in a position to succeed in the classroom. Big projects include conducting a focus group, and producing a survey. If done right, you will enjoy and learn a tremendous amount from these two assignments. Would like to take him again if given the opportunity.
The content and material is rather boring, but Professor Montenegro is amazing and does his best to make class interesting. He cares so much about his students, and will help in any way possible. I wish he taught more classes in my field of study! Seriously, an awesome guy.
Good class. He does his best to make the class interesting because he knows the subject isn't for everyone.
He was very helpful and kept the lectures interesting. He made it very easy to get an A! Made the subject easy to learn.
One of the best professors I had. Helps out all his students and is very understanding. I highly recommend this class
I love this professor! He's always looking to help you out if you need it, and he explains everything you need to know in detail. Definitely recommend him!! Plus he brings coffee :)
I love him! He is the kind of person who cares for his students, His class is very interesting and he brings you coffee every class! DO NOT HESITATE ! TAKE HIM
This Prof is the best at FIU! I wish he had more classes though, since he has so much real life experience he shares in his classes. Take his class if it is available or else wait.. Overall, he is a very smart professor and is willing to share his knowledge.
Super funny and chill. Does weekly online quizzes that are easy, if you show up to class you get exempt from one quiz a week & he brings coladas! The class consists of an IRB training, Focus Group Project, a Survey Presentation & 2 online test; no big papers/scary midterms. Seems difficult but is actually super straight-forward and easy! TAKE HIM!!
Great, knowledgeable and excited to teach and help you learn. Brings coffee for everyone every class, loves to make jokes in the middle of lectures and gives you all type of incentives to pass with a great grade. I recommend him 100 times!
GO AHEAD AND TAKE THIS CLASS! The subject is incredibly boring, but Professor Montenegro makes the class manageable. Quizzes are online, group projects are super fun and easy. I would totally take this class again.
Professor Montenegro is a delight! He's very knowledgeable in the subject so get ready to learn from an expert! He is always willing to help and discuss our various ideas during class. The class itself is long and boring, but with his cafecito and good sense of humor, it is actually fun and interactive. If you need to take this class, he's the one!
Because he cares, he wants you to be in class and at the end it just makes the quizzes easier if you do. If you are present and participate he will notice you and help you out if you need it and ask for it. Overall, he is great!
Luis is probably the most chill professor I've ever had. What is expected of you is easy to complete, and the material isn't difficult. Some group work/project, online quizzes and 2 exams. He brings us coffee too! would take again
Professor Montenegro is an amazing professor. He engages with the students in every lecture. He gives plenty of opportunities to improve your grade, and is very lenient when it comes to datelines. There's a quiz after every lecture, but you have a week to complete it. 2 exams and 2 projects, however; they are fairly easy if you do them on time.
I strongly recommend Professor Montenegro. We have quizzes every week but if you have the book you'll be sure to pass. 1 group project and 1 individual project. Very funny and wants to make sure everyone understands the material.
Best Professor EVER! He knows the material can be a little hard to swallow, but he makes it fun. He helps you actually learn the material and makes the class fun. There are usually 2 weekly quizzes, but they're super easy. If you attend class you only have to do one, if you miss you do both. 2 project (one in a group, one solo) super easy.
Professor Montenegro is one of the best professors i've taken at FIU, hands down! He is this really Miami, hilarious and relatable guy. After the class you'll want to become his best friend. The exams are online and easy as can be. The best part, he brings the whole class Cuban coffee every morning. Take this professor! You won't regret it!
The class is very boring since it's based on research, but he make's it entertaining! He brings coffee every class and loves to joke around.
Awesome professor. Highly recommend to everyone. He makes a boring subject as interesting as possible. He set the tone for a comfortable environment in a large class. Though the class is large, he's extremely personable and has everyone participate and interact. His quizzes are straight from his power points. Take him, you won't regret it.
Great professor. Boring material, but he does a good job at making it sorta interesting. He's very nice and answers email almost immediately. As long as you show up to class, you'll get an A. Oh and don't buy the book, I used it like twice the whole semester. I would've gotten an A without it .
If you need to take Marketing Research take it with Montenegro in person. He's an amazing professor. The class over all is kind of boring, but that is because the material isn't very interesting. But he makes it as interesting as he can. He is super nice and understanding. All quizzes are done online. Definitely would take him again.
Professor Montenegro is the best professor i've had during my time in FIU. He loves his job and cares about his students. Easy A if you do all of your assignments. Take the class you wont regret it!
GREAT PROFESSOR! He makes a boring class into an interesting one. He brings coffee for the students almost every class and makes the lectures not so boring. He is caring and helps you pass. Group project and an individual one which he gives great directions for so you know what to do. Do the work and you'll definitely pass. Take again!
He's awesome! I would definitely take him again! The material isn't the most entertaining, but he makes it interesting. Just stay on top of your quizzes and assignments and you should be fine.
Excellent educator who cares about his students and their progress. He takes attendance, assigns chapter readings and quizzes, three projects (one group and two individual). He has a tendency to go through the PowerPoint slides a little too quickly but that may be because of the Cuban coffee he brings to his morning class.
honestly, one of the best prof I've had my entire college career plus it does not hurt that he is a total eye candy
TAKE THIS CLASS! you will learn how to conduct focus groups, which will carry on to your campaigns class. This professor makes class as easy as can be. I hope we all appreciate what he does for each one of us. A gem to FIU!
This professor is really wonderful, highly recommend. Marketing research is so boring but he makes it do-able. He really cares about his students, very understanding. You won't regret taking him!
Super nice. Really wants you to pass. Understands that the subject is boring so he tried to make it as fun as possible.
Prof. Montenegro is GREAT! The subject is a little boring, but he makes it as entertaining as possible. He really cares for his students. Attendance is mandatory, but he brings colada to EVERY class! And he sometimes he gives perks to those who go to class. There's a group project, individual survey assignment and online quizzes. Would take again:)
Please take this class with him! The subject is a little bit boring but professor montenegro makes it easy and clear. Group project is tough because you have to deal with 7 people in your group but instrections are crystal clear. Random thought: I care about surveys now, you will too after this class.
Amazing professor who cares about their students.
Great Professor. Super easy and clear.
he was very kind and made the class fun.
He was very helpful with helping you understand the assignments. Always making sure that we knew what was due and on top of it by sending reminders to his students so that we wouldn't forget. Very enthusiastic about the subject! Really enjoys teaching and seeing others learn.
YOU WILL LEARN! A lot of work, but it's pretty easy. Makes a boring subject interesting and engages with students. Took a hybrid summer course with him and he know everyone's name. 1 group project to create a survey which isn't hard, but teaches you how research is measured. Great class. Great professor!
amazing took in the Summer half online half in class. Meet biweekly. Do the work and you will get an A. Group project very fun. Grades lightly He lectures the entire 3 hours lol but he makes it fun gives you a break very passionate and make sure you understand. If you miss any work text him will let you complete it. I missed final did it next day!
Great professor! A lot of work, but he makes it fun! He is very passionate about teaching, and gets excited about it. I took it in summer A and received an A.. definitely would recommend him if you must take this class!
Took this hybrid course in the Summer and it was really great and clear what needed to be done. He includes the textbook as a PDF for you so you don't have to purchase the book. He is always available to help, which is awesome!
Montenegro is very organized. Took him for summer A, various quizzes and 2 test including the final. Two projects easy and you learn from him.
Professor Montenegro is an amazing professor and really goes out of his way for his students. His lectures are beyond helpful. The process of data collection was a whole lot more simpler due to his knowledge, which he passed onto the class.
Super awesome professor! Incredibly understanding and flexible! Makes the class super fun!
He's very understanding an works wit you as long as you are willing to put in work. Met 3 times and the rest was online.
Professor Montenegro is an amazing professor and really goes out of his way for his students. His lectures are beyond helpful. The process of data collection was a whole lot more simpler due to his knowledge, which he passed onto the class. BTW did I mention he brings coffee in the mornings. He makes the subject interesting. TAKE HIM!
Very nice professor! He's funny, his lectures are easy to follow and you will learn A LOT. He always brings coffee (colada) to class!! He's really caring and I would recommend him 100%. Regarding tests and assignments, they are all super easy, but you have to work. Make sure you have a good group for the assignments.
took his friday morning class, the class subject is boring but he brings you coffee and tells stories so you won't fall asleep. quizzes are super easy and online, so were tests and the final. he's the best for mmc4609.
Best professor ever, i definitely recommend him for any class. A group project, and weekly quizzes. Easy A if you do your assignments.
Professor Montenegro is a great professor. He brings cafesito to class every morning and really gets the whole class involved in his lectures. No need to take notes as he provides the powerpoint and textbook as well. His projects can be tricky but he does have them in groups and is always available to help.
AMAZING CLASS! Best Professor at FIU! You will learn so much in his class. Definitely recommend! Class participation is a must!
Professor Montenegro has been one of the best professors I've ever had. He cares about you and making sure you learn (I forgot my computer at class once and he saved it for me). I guarantee you that you will not only learn a lot but have a good time, the class is never boring. The class is easy if you put in the work, and he is great with emails.
Professor Montenegro is very knowledgeable about marketing with a lot of experience in the field. In this class you will learn how to set up focus groups and do surveys as well as marketing research terminology. I highly recommend Professor Montenegro. He really cares about his students and is always willing to help clarify any misunderstandings.
Very knowledgeable in his field. If you are interested in surveys, data collection and the science behind them his class will be for you. Class is mostly lectures but you can ask a question mid lecture and he wont mind. Grade comes from test, group project and participation. Recommended.
This class is easy and the professor makes it fun and brings coffee for everyone! Hes really understanding but go to class its important.
Amazing professor. Very knowledgeable about marketing with a lot of experience in the field. Quizzes are online and 2 group projects. Attendance is mandatory.
Hes of the best professors Ive had at FIU. He cares about his students and really makes sure you learn the materia. Hes practical and makes sure his lectures arent boring. He will really prepare you & brings coffee to every class for you. 100% recommend him!!!
You will learn a lot from this professor. He is extremely knowledgeable and makes the subject as interesting as possible. The only thing that I would suggest, is that he makes the groups for the projects smaller. Working in a group of 5+ people is difficult at times. Overall, tests are easy, Projects are interesting, and no need for textbook.
Professor Montenegro is of the coolest professor. If you're looking for a professor who knows what He teaches, is genuine about what He talks about, and cares, then He's your guy! The class itself is simple and common sense if you're a communications major. Participation is key and make sure to review what you learned last class each time.
Overall it was an enjoyable experience having him as a professor. If have to take this class for whatever reason, I would totally recommend Prof. Montenegro!
Professor Montenegro is one of the few professors that I've had my whole time at FIU that actually tries to make the class fun and engaging. He is a subject matter expert and always answers all your questions!! Would definitely recommend any student to take his class.
Weekly quizzes, but they are easy if you pay attention to the lecture. It is a 2 1/2 hour class, but he never lectures to the end. Is very passionate about his course material and students.
Professor Montenegro was a pleasure to have as a professor. I took this course not so much because I wanted to but because there were not many options available to me, and I do not regret it at all. The course is not the most interesting but Prof. Montenegro makes it worthwhile. He is funny, engaging, and helpful if he sees that you try and care.
Professor is extremely organized and explains difficult concepts well. He's funny and makes the material interesting. Team projects are a part of the class, so be aware. I highly recommend him.
I tried taking this class 3 different semesters but my schedule never matched. I finally got the opportunity to take it and I'm so glad I did. Professor Montenegro makes the sometimes dull material interesting and provides real life experience, speakers and multiple learning resources. Cool dude, take the class.
Amazing professor, really easy, nice and understanding. Three assignments: a certification, a focus group project (group work) and a survey project (group work). Choose your groups wisely!!! There are weekly quizzes, but the information is in the power points he gives you. Attendance is technically required. Overall really great professor!
He's actually great, one of the nicest professors I've had at FIU. The only thing is DONT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO THE PROJECTS. You only have two and they're not hard to completed you just need to gather the right information which can be time consuming.
Super nice professor. Though his classes are lecture heavy, he makes them fun and interesting to listen to. Absolutely recommend him.
Professor Montenegro is an amazing professor! He's an expert in the research field and is really committed to making sure his students succeed in the work force. He gives 2 group projects and gives great feedback. The class was 3 hours but he brings coffee every class, gives breaks and lets students out early. Would definitely take him again!
Even though the class was very long he made it fun. Lectures were very informal and easygoing. Answered all questions & gave many examples. Always in a good mood. Grades were clear & available online (very fast). Would take it again forsure! Pay attention & you should be ok.
He is very straightforward and His lectures are interesting. You have a few quizzes, assignments and a group project but if you stay in track of them, they arent difficult. I would take this professor again.
Professor Montenegro is the man. Super funny in class, keeps you awake even at nighttime for 3 hours. Respectful, and teaches great, straight to the point. Tells you what you need to know and what you don't need to know. Great teacher, great person.
This dude is great. Amazing sense of humor and makes the subject of research actually interesting. He provided the book in his modules so no need to worry about that. He makes for an open class environment so be ready to engage in conversation in class. Cool dude, 10/10 would recommend.
He great professor, I took him for Summer A and i am glade i did
Take him! He's an amazing professor, knowledgeable and funny. Plus, he runs a survey center so he has real-world experience. You won't regret taking him!
Really good professor! I took it for summer A & it was an easy A! Everything is done online and you have a group project. Really good professor, I recommend him!
Great professor.
I loved Prof. Montenegro. He cares about his students and provides amazing constructive feedback for all assignments. It's definitely the perfect amount of work and you'll learn a great amount on research communication. Loved him!!!!
Every simple class if you even pay the slightest amount of attention. All the quizzes are online and everything can be found easily in the textbook which he provides you with. Participate to get more points.
Montenegro is a great professor and gives great feedback on your work. There are two group projects and online quizzes. He provides you with the PDF of the textbook. Attendance is encouraged because he counts it as a grade and participation is also crucial for more points in your favor. Fantastic teacher
This class was simple and he was really nice and funny! There are quizzes but you can find all the answers with his powerpoint. 2 test, simple. 2 group projects and certification that was simple! The class is long and boring but his attitude makes up for it. Take it with him, it's not stressful. Class is mandatory, he takes attendance
Montenegro is a wonderful professor. He really enjoys teaching and is very passionate of the subject he teaches. He is willing to help whenever you are in doubt and will make class very easy and interesting (to the best of his efforts). A great professor and I definitely recommend him to anyone that needs this class for credit.
Professor Montenegro is very skilled and knowledgeable with the subjects. He will show the class real-life examples, since he currently works in the field. Some of the subjects can be boring, but he tries his best to be effective when teaching. DON'T FALL ASLEEP because he will call you out! YOU WANT TO LEARN? Take him! He cares!
Overall this professor is great. The class includes quizzes, few assignments and a group project through out the semester. He gives you a lot of time and a lot of feedback on all assignments. He has a funny sense of humor and is lenient with late work. Attendance and participation is mandatory. Don't expect to be lazy and pass.
Great professor! Very lecture based but always very informative, if you have him for a morning class he will bring coffee for the class - He know's his stuff! Just keep up with the work and you'll do just fine for an easy A !
Nice guy and friendly, not too tough on grades.
Material is boring, but he tries his best to make things interesting, Two group projects, attendance is graded.
I really recommends you take this class with this professor. I couldnt come to many classes because the date and time conflicted with work & I still passed with an A. Just do your required assignments & youll be good. 10/10 recommend!
Hes a good professor. He likes for you to participate and be engaged in the lectures.
Luis was a great professor, his sarcastic humor really makes class easier with such a dull subject. Would definitely recommend taking his class above others
This man is 10/10. I would like to personally congratulate him on the outstanding work he does at making his class not only informational but also fun. If you are deciding between which professors to take for COM4310, I HIGHLY recommend Luis Montenegro.
Hes an amazing professor! You can tell he is passionate about what he teaches!
Explains powerpoints and material well. group project but also online quizzes and your final is online. Easy A !
He does lectures every class and you do have to participate in order to pass but all the information he goes over is actually super useful and interesting. The class is pretty easy to follow along, he is an easy grader and also easy to access outside of class.
He is honestly great. He's very understanding and establishes a common ground with students. I highly recommend him. He's very honest and very sarcastic but in a good way. I would take him again.
He is amazing! Great lectures, and good use of class time. He is not gonna make you waste your time the whole 3 hours of his Friday class. Modern and understanding with students. Show up to class and communicate with him if you need help or can't go to a class, he will support you!
Great professor! Very understanding and nice ! Participate and do the work.
Professor Montenegro is truly one of the best professors at FIU. He is so kind and intelligent. The lectures are long & lots of material but he makes it interesting. Attendance matters. If you show participation and do your work, you will get an A. He is very kind and does not make the course difficult to pass like other professors do at FIU.
Awesome!!!! Very understanding and I was able to learn a lot this semester.
Great professor, do all the online work - easy A and show up to class (mandatory)
Amazing professor! You dont need to buy any textbooks because the lectures and PowerPoint should are online, easy online quizzes and tests, one group project and overall hes funny and if you take during the summer the class time can be long but just go, its an easy A.
Hes super cool and funny. The book isnt essential but im ngl it did help on a couple tests.
Professor Montenegro has a remarkable ability to turn a "boring subject" like research (his words not mine) and make it fun & interesting! He's truly amazing, sends reminders out for upcoming work due, explains everything clearly, is available outside the classroom for questions. Easy class! Just show up, PARTICIPATE, do your work & you'll pass!
he's a great professor. definitely gives the boring course material some life. do what he asks and you'll be fine. you can learn a lot in this course if you want to.
Great professor! The course material isn't interesting so he makes it as interesting as possible. Come to class and participate. Complete assignments on time. You will have to work in groups, so do your research early when you're assigned to a group.
Professor Montenegro was a great professor. He made a boring topic interesting and was very understanding and likes to see his students succeed.
Seriously.. just take his class.. this man is mad chill lol
The professor is super snarky and sarcastic but this class is an easy A! He brings coffee to share before each class as well. We had online quizzes and then major group work for our final projects.
He was cool, he brings coffee in every morning (it was a 3 hour morning class on Fridays so it was mad crucial). You work in a group t but the assignments throughout the semester that aren't hard. He's knowledgeable and cares. Would take him again forsure.
Professor Montenegro has literally been one of the best professors Ive had at FIU. He always responds to emails, if you have his morning class he will take some coffee, and he is SUPER NICE! If you need or have the chance to take him please DO IT!!! he is truly and amazing teacher. The lectures are boring but he makes the best out of it. AMAZING!!!
Best professor at FIU! He's so compassionate and genuinely cares about his students. He doesn't care about attendance. He only cares that you understand the material. I would definitely take him again!
This professor is one of the best I have had at FIU. He is caring and will be there to help you with what he can. Very understanding and always brings cuban coffee at the beginning of class. AMAZING teacher!
Professor Montenegro is one of the best professors at FIU. 1) He cares about ALL of his students 2) he loves his job 3) He wants everyone to succeed 4) His assignments and work cover the material for the class, but not to the point that it is overwhelming. Good lectures, online chpter quizzes, group project, online final. TAKE HIM! He's awesome!!!!
This professor deeply cares about the subject and your academic performance in the class. He will work with you to make sure you understand the material and will go above and beyond if you don't. Overall, a great professor who replies to all emails in due time, despite being in the middle of COVID-19.
Professor Montenegro really cares about students involves in his class and lectures, he would always try to interact with students and ask students to sometimes lead the classroom. He is very considerate and cares about students understanding the material, he will help if asked.
Great professor
Prof. Montenegro really cares about making sure you understand the subject matter and wants you to pass. He makes heavy lectures easier to digest and is great at explaining something you may not understand. Attendance is super important! 2 tests, multiple quizzes (based on class lectures/pwpts), one big group project thats not too hard. TAKE HIM!
Easy class. Just do your work and youll be fine.
Please take Prof. Montenegro! He is an excellent teacher, very caring with his students and also, fun fact, brings cafecito every morning to keep students awake haha! TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Professor Montenegro is a great professor! If you want a class you can pass with flying colors and get an A in... TAKE HIM! This class was enjoyable, we have a survey project on qualtrics and we have to send it to people and gather our data and turn it in as our final. Really easy, trust me he Collins everything. Take the class if you need to!!!
I took Research Method 1 with him for Summer A His zoom meeting were helpful since it was 6 week class. But he was horrible communicator though, have to text him to get a quick resonse
Luis is an amazing professor. Hes truly understanding and is very knowledgeable. One of the best classes Ive had. I hope to have him as a professor again in the future!
I enjoyed taking Luis Montenegro's class, his experience, and charisma made the class interesting and worth paying attention to. He is available almost always, and definitely more than most professors. I would take his class again :)
class is easy, just show up to lectures and participate once in a while. quizzes are easy and there's one group assignment which is very easy if you start when he gives the directions. easy A overall
Honestly, not a bad class but very boring. 3 hour lecture most weeks, a quiz and a learnsmart due every week or two. One group project that isn't too hard, but that can be confusing because his canvas isn't organized very well. Overall, okay professor, not a hard class, but BORING.
Best teacher I ever had
Easiest class I have taken in FIU PLEAS TAKE HIM! Class is made up of online quizzes and tests (super easy), group project (very understanding when it comes to people not doing their part), and a final. You will not find a better professor to take this class with I would definitely take him again.
He is a great professor, he gave us homework online. The practice quiz is very intense and the quiz was pretty easy. He gave us for a group project survey and we got all easy As.
Prof. Montenegro is very direct with feedback and what he asks, and likes things to be to the point! He is very chill about it though, and skips the fluff without being dramatic about it. Good professor if you are trying to take a course where your expectation is do the work - and youll pass.
Show up to class and do the assignment you will passed.
Three words. Take. His. Class! Although you will have a number of short assignments to do, he gives you a week to complete them and many chances to complete it, and theres only 2 tests. He cares about his students and is very accessible inside and outside his class. Just do the assignments well and attend class regularly and you should be fine.
Patient and respectful Professional
Montenegro is a successful professional in his field and ties in real-world examples to his classroom. Lenient on due dates if you talk to him. Makes dense subjects more understandable and won't move on unless you understand it.
You have to take his class. Even though Research market is way boring and difficult, he made everything interesting with his examples and stories. The tests are always easy when you can find the answer from textbook. For the final exam, he will give you tips and areas to find the answers first, then just learn from slides and books to go! No stress
Thanks for teaching us Research Methods in the Mass Media. There is no one better than you to teach this subject.
Amazing professor and just generally an awesome person
Professor Montenegro is a great professional and one can see that in class. There are times when he doesn't take the time to explain things, or believes that everyone knows everything.
He talks fast that is true. I couldn't keep up with them when we had class. He is still so nice and understanding. He goes above and beyond for you to get the real world experience. I struggled in this course because of the material but I made it work. He also brings us coffee before class starts! It's free coffee! Please take him. You learn a lot
I took SPC 2608 in fall of 2021 with Professor Luis Montenegro. It was a delight, great guy, interesting material, applicable content, what else could you ask for. Professor Montenegro is very understanding and will give you extra time if needed. The Professor genuinely enjoys teaching and makes learning a joy. Great guy and great experience. 10/10
easy class, just make sure you prepare for your speeches and do the quizzes. very understanding and lenient.
Good professor
This class was one of the last required classes that I needed to complete for my degree. Attendance is very important, participation also counts, you need to read the textbook for sure. Group work is also important; the survey project was engaging and helped me apply the concepts we were learning in class into real world practice.
Super easy, lectures are just long
I would take luis 100 times, prepare to work but he explain pretty good and easy to understand. Best part coffee in the mornings!
It was one of the nest classes I had. The professor knows what he is talking about. Uses real life examples. Also, incorporates practical assignments throughout his course. I got to learn beyond just the research process, he included tips on conducting your own business as well. Class was heavy in information but also fun. I recommend!
Best Professor Ive had in a while, He loves what he does and will make you love it as-well!!!! Very kind, Vey knowledgeable, easy to get a hold of.
One of the best professors I've had. Lectures were long but that was expected for a 6 week class, and he did a good job of making the material relatable and using real life scenarios. Would 100% take him again
Class is very easy, you just have to do the assignments which aren't hard at all. Lectures could be boring but that is just because of the subject. For the group's final project be sure to make your survey as soon as possible to release it asap and so you can make the required number of respondents.
Really nice Professor, he explain pretty good and easy to understand, just pretty long lectures. I would take Professor Montenegro again.
Great professor, knowledgeable about the topics covered, and easygoing! I would take this professor again. Just get ready for long lectures :)
This professor was so awesome! He would being coladas to class every morning. Although the material may not be super enjoyable, he really tries to make the class entertaining. We do have a midterm and final but they are both taken at home, as well as a final group project. Loved this professor!
Class participation is graded, but he's a little mean and makes you feel embarrassed for giving a wrong answer. Not my favorite teaching style. Attendance also big part of grade. One large group project that you work on throughout semester. Extremely boring material in class. Only took bc it was required.
The class can be a little boring but the professor is good. He knows the topic and explains it with easy words. There are weekly quizzes, 2 exams and a group project,
Professor Montenegro is a great teacher! This course consisted of quizzes,2 test on presentations he does during class,an online certification course and a group project and presenting the data at the end of the semester. He like's bringing cuban coffee for the class which was really needed especially when I took him-early in the morning!
Professor Montenegro has been propbably my best experience with a professor in college. His lectures are not boring and he goes over the important things of the course. He answers emails promptly and is good with communication after class if you need him. He really wants his students to do well and cares that they get a good grade.
Professor is aware of how boring the material is but he made the class fun! Assignments were easy and not too much work.
Great class and a caring professor.
Great professor. Turned a boring subject (marketing research) into an entertaining and engaging class. Genuinely cares about students and is an expert in what he teaches.
Professor Montenegro made the class fun even though the subject of research is extremely boring! Always brings coffee for the class, makes jokes, but most importantly he will work with you and allow you to make up late assignments so long as you communicate with him.
He is not only a great teacher but a great human. He cares for his students and wants us to enjoy class. I had him for 3 1/2 hours on Fridays and it was NEVER dreadful. If you take him pay attention and try to attend all the classes it is important. If you ask, he will help you but meet him halfway and do your part. Definitely take him!
Despite the boring class material, he made it very bearable through participation and funny comments. 2 tests and chapter quizzes that were easy as long as you read the ppts/txtbook, and 1 group project that's based on a survey you make w/ your group; you present the survey at the end of semester. Overall, he's one of my favs and def recommend!
Had a great experience with Professor Montenegro. He is very knowledgeable and explained everything well during his lectures. If you pay attention in class and take time to do your work, you will most definitely pass with him as the Professor. I definitely recommend taking him.
Took him for Summer A. You will be required to complete an online course and you're going to be creating a survey that will need to be done ahead of time. Don't forget the PowerPoint on the results you obtained from that survey too! Overall, he was a chill dude and like someone mentioned, he makes his lectures not as boring but still informative.
Professor Montenegro is one of my favorite professors at FIU. He is passionate and very knowledgeable about research, it shows in his lectures. The material could be boring but he makes it fun. He is funny and always brings coffee to us every class. Be sure to pay attention to criteria for the final presentation. Genuinely cares about students!
Professor Montenegro was the sweetest! He really made the class digestible and fun to learn. Attendance is mandatory for full credit. Take him! He's great
This professor is the best, very funny too. I took this course in person and we had very little homework or even just work in general. Two easy group projects and easy quizzes throughout the semester. There were a few days where he took attendance but generally I would say it wasn't mandatory.
