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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

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.
