He is very thorough...Very fast ... Has time to work wiht the students
Wicked nice teacher, very helpful, especially if you smoke cigarettes (he'll want one).
He's awesome. Quick, but awesome. He'll slow down if you need him to. He was very easy.
Fair teacher but is fast, so dont take him if you arent good in math.
Very good teacher! He explains the material very well. I would take him again. He goes through the material fast but if you go to class and do the homework it is an easy A!
ok professor
He does speak very fast but he explains everything clearly and thoroughly. He gives alot of extra credit if needed and overall id an excellent teacher!
very helpful and very nice
moves fast, homework a must if you want to pass. Only basic concepts shown in class Exp:(u)(dont do the homework)+(didnt catch it in class)(b)=ub u b=ROADKILL. Moody at times and it shows. Open to questions during class is a real plus.
Nice but kind of fast. No homework though.
He's the best.He's fun to work with and he explains stuff really well.
Luis is very helpful and will go out of his way to make sure you understand the material. I have a really hard time with math and he made it clear for me.
I AM NOT A MATH PERSON. BUT I REALLY HAD A GOOD TIME IN HIS CLASS FOR THE LAST YEAR.(TWO DIFFERENT CLASSES). HE EXPLAINS THINGS IN TERMS WE CAN UNDERSTAND. WHEN YOU ASK "WHY THE HELL DO WE NEED TO KNOW THIS?" HE WILL GIVE YOU A REASON. I REC
He's an awesome teacher. Very helpfull and clear. You get a quiz every day in class but he makes sure you know the work. Gives extra credit. I highly recomend him.
REALLY helpful! If u do all the homework you'll do great on the tests. If u get B's on the tests & do ALL the homework, you'll get an A. Lots of quizzes but they really help u learn & are low pressure/don't count for much. VERY understanding & nice guy. I have dyslexia & got my first EVER A in math!
GREATEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!He is good in everything and very clear.Class is not hard.Can always go to his office and he'll help you.LUIS is the coolest.TAKE THIS TEACHER!!I give him a 100%
This class was rediculously easy. I past the compency test or state test and only missed one question. He teaches clearly and is very helpful.
Nice teacher very caring and answers all questions sometimes goes fast homework is ONLINE ONLY! which SUCKS!!!! Most math teachers at v teach math for sometime now and sometimes they operate like robots you kinda have to stop them if you dont understand if u dint get it ask! or itll hurt u later on
Great professor. Helpful, kind, clear and organized. Always willing to go the extra mile and see's things in his students that they themselves dont. Has a kind heart and will do what he can to make sure you succeed.Keep up the good work "Louy"!!!!
LUIS iS THE MAN. YOU NEED TO TAKE HIM. I ALWAYS HAD TOUBLE WITH MIXTURE AND WORD PROBLEMS AS WELL AS FRACTIONS, 5 WEEKS OF HIM AND YOU KNOW THAT STUFF LIKE THE BACK OF YOU HAND. JUST DO YOUR WORK SHEETS AND STUDY THEM FOR THE QUIZES AND YOUR GOOD, HE IS SUPER NICE. TAKE HIM I AM TELLING YOU!!! TAKE!
Luis was great. He take his time to help you in anything. The Homework is on-line but it is easy; there are help buttons on-line to get you through. I wish he would teach 1033C. Easy A as long as the H.W. is done!!!!!!!
He is a great professor.He is willing to help u out with anything.I passed the competency exit exam the first time. He is the best.
WORTH EVERY PENNY BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD WILL NOT STOP UNTIL U COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.
he is very good please if math is hard for you he will help you!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God/ I finally got it/ He is a great teacher and person. If u have a hard time with math this is the teacher to take.
best teacher!!!!!!!! He really gets you ready for your next class.
Great teacher!I have always had a hard time with math. Went through course witn an A! would definitely reccomend.Will help as much as he ca and explains things if you don't understand it.
He is an awesome teacher! i wish he taught higher gordon rule classes because he teaches with such clarity and so much fun. he's also very funny. Didn't make me fall asleep through class! :-)
He is a great teacher. I wish he was teaching other math classes as well. He is also a great person and he helps you out alot. If you didnt udnerstand the work he does take his time to help you understand it. Take him he is one of the best teachers in valencia if not the best!
I would definately reccomend him. absolutely fantastic.
He is very helpful and always willing to tutor.
HE is a cool teacher asings hw but accepts late hw, very lay back but very motivated to teach. Take him if you want to learn and pass with a B or a higher grade.
Mr. Negron is by far one of the best teachers. He encourages his students to pass and does care what students learn. He's not strict about tardiness because he does understand people fall behind schedule. He is highly recommendable for students trying to enrol in a begininng algebra class.
Great professor,very helpful, funny and makes sure you understand what he is teaching. Assigns hwk and practice sheets, trust me it is for your benefit its what help me get a B in the class and pass the state exam on the first try. I would recommend him for anybody who has trouble understanding the MATH!!!!!
I love this guy! I was someone who absolutely hated math with a passion and never excelled at it, and he made everything "click" for me. He gives homework after almost EVERY lecture, but it totally helps you. Also, his lectures are very comprehensive, don't miss a class, you will miss a lot. GREAT PROFESSOR, TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - awesome professor, teaches crystal clear and has you focused on Math. Yes, math!
There are very few profesors that really care for thier students - understands what college students go through and is very patient with students. Highly recommended!!!
Professor Negron is a caring and understanding teacher. He makes sure you are doing the right amount of work to succeed. He enjoys his job and really focuses on helping you pass. I definitely recommend him!
Great prof! Very funny too. lectures are long but he has tons of energy and keeps things interesting. He is very clear about everything and makes math alot of fun. Do all the homework- but that goes for any math class get used to it!!!
He's so clear when he's doing lectures. His notes are immaculate. If you go to class and write down the notes that are on the board and do your homework, you'll get at least a B. Negron is awesome!
Mr. Negron is the best professor math I ever had. I wish he teaches 1033, so I can take it with him. I passed the 0024 math with A. He gives lot of work, but it was worth it thank you Mr Negron. remember you don't have to buy the book.
luis is a great teacher. . .he'l make sure you're underatanding whats going on in the class until you got it. . .don't buy the book but but the course compass. . .you'll only do work in online, not in the book. extreamly helpful and very nice and funny.
Luis Negron is an awesome mathematics professor. He has a amazing educational gift at teaching prepatory-leved math courses in which he breaks down the material in a way that is easy to grasp. I believe Professor Negron has a strong passion for mathematics and education.Furthermore, he really cares about his students.
Porf. Negron is an awesome proffesor! he is very sympathetic for his students, just do your homework when it is assigned and don't fall behind on that! he made everything very easy to understand & has a pretty fun attitude toward math!
I took his class for re-takers and he was a great instructor. He gave me all of the help that I needed and he actually gave all of the one on one help that I asked for as well and that helped me passed. He taught me how to understand the material, not just teach it like all of the other teachers did before him. He's a great instructor.
He's a great professor to have. He will help you out and stop til you understand the concept. Looking forward to seeing him get his master's and teach all the way up to D.E.
By far one of the best professor's i have and probably will ever come across throughout college. He has an amazing talent and passion for teaching, could probably teach mathematics to a box of rocks. He's also pretty funny. Don't slack on the online homework, and show up to lab! (very easy worksheets) other than that he is simply amazing.
Prof. Negron is by far the BEST math professor I've ever had. He's very funny and definitely knows his material. He's very helpful and easy-going. If you are struggling with math, this is the professor to take!
Prof. Negron is AMAZING! He's very helpful and wants his students to succeed. He's also very funny and entertaining. I struggled in math for 2 semesters before taking Prof. Negron. If you have a hard time understanding math, TAKE HIS CLASS!
Professor Negron is a FANTASTIC math teacher. If you struggle with math at all, he breaks things down to it's core. I took him for basic algebra in the Fall semester 2010 and I passed the state test with a 97%. He's great. Do your homework even if he doesn't collect it. Also ask A LOT of questions if you need to, he's always willing to help.
Do not take this class for the summer, took ap calc in high school and pretty much failed this class for the summer due to the fast pace and vagueness of the teaching, he tries to be funny about teaching but all the teaching is going over a powerpoint and not working the problems out
His a great professor! I recommend him to any one that is taking any of his math classes. He is very clarified, and helpful, and makes the subject more easy to understand better. If you had any trouble with math, his the guy to go to for help.

Professor Negron is extremely passionate about his job. He is always willing to help his students and is very approachable. Class is mandatory because there are iclicker questions that count toward your grade. Powerpoints in class don't really teach you much so you will have to teach yourself with mylabs homework. Drops one test.
The ratings are old on here so let me be precise. This is by far the worst math teacher, and his passing rate is 30%. He does not provide different teaching alternatives to learn, and he only sticks to his method. Also he rushes through material expecting us to know everything, and not taking his time to explain it correctly to his students. "True"
This teacher should be a comedian instead of a teacher. Horrible teaching style, and has corny catch phrases after every lesson taught. I do not reccommend this class if you are actually trying to learn the material, since he is not an effective teacher. There are many other teachers that will effectively teach the material to where you understand.
Very tough teacher on grading. He assigns around 150 homework problems online every week. The worst part is the homework and quizzes are graded, but it does nothing to your grade. His test are hard because he doesn't provide study guides for his class. He expects us to learn through online homework, and seems to be in a rush with chapters.
Wasnt the type of teacher i expected. He relies on his students learning from online homework instead of face to face teaching. Didnt like how fast he taught in order to finish chapters. Hes passionate but not the teacher you want to take if you want to learn and pass.
He was horrible! So confusing ... He wouldn't help even when I asked, he's very rude. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!
Unfortunately he is rude and does not take the time to help you learn the material. When asking him for help he makes you feel incompetent and excepts you to understand just because he said the same thing over again...... he is passionate about his job but he does everything online so you basically have to learn math on your own!
This Professor is very rude and does in no way help his students to understand the material. This could basically be an online class because nothing is done in class and everything has to be done online. Over half of his class is failing and he has no intent of changing that. Poor class, Poor teacher.
I warn all of you, this class is not for those who like to be rushed through all of there work. Negron tries really hard to teach the content, but unfortunately he cant. I would never EVER recommend taking this class. Take anyone else but Negron. You WILL drop the course or fail. Again this is warning. He claims to be helpful, he is not!
Prof. Negron is great when teaching one on one but when teaching a whole class he tends to go too fast. Wouldn't recommend him though.
By far the worst math class I have ever taken. Completely hard to pass. This is coming from a student who actually likes math! The tests are set up so that it's impossible to pass, and the homework is as long as tests. Save yourself and DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
Mr. Negron is very enthusiastic about what he's teaching, but he would often go too fast for many of the students to keep up. Homework load was a little heavy, but manageable. Tests were hard, though. So studying for those is a must. His final exam is worth 30% of your grade, so going over earlier exams is really important.
worst math teacher I have ever taken. He goes supper fast over the sections and cant even explain it right. I would not recommend him if you want to pass College Algebra
He was the worst professor EVER. I asked him if I should have withdrawn, prior to the withdraw date, but he said no. So of course I listened. I had a feeling he didn't really like me. So now it is my second semester and I am retaking the class.
I don't know what's up with all these other people but Professor Negron is awesome!!! He takes the time and cares about his students! He wants us to pass and will take the time for each student individually. He even answers emails on the weekend! A+++++
I really do not know why he has such low ratings. Negron is a good teacher. sure college algebra is hard but this class is a walk in the park compared to UCF's math courses.
Negron is the best! He is so funny! In a 3-hour stats class, his humor really carried me through. He is very clear in his expectations, and loves what he does. He really wants you to learn what he teaches, which is really nice. His class is not easy street, but he drops a bunch of stuff at the end. So as long as you to your work, you will pass!
Ok so I actually am good at math but this professor although he is a really nice guy is horrible at teaching. His classes were so confusing and stressful I had to transfer out of his class. He makes math seem 3x more complicated then it is supposed to be. It wasn't just me either a lot of others weren't doing that great. DONT TAKE THIS GUYS CLASS!!
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU WANT TO PASS CALCULUS! This guy does NOT know how to teach. You WILL fail unless you're already a genius at Calc You don't know what to expect on the tests. The whole class failed his quizzes and exams and he blamed us saying that we refuse to do the work! I ended up having to retake this class.
The worst math teacher I have ever had. I don't understand anything he's teaching even though I take notes every class. He is the worst at explaining things and makes it so much more difficult. I had to withdraw from his class and take a hybrid version of College Algebra. I definitely would NOT recommend taking him if you want to pass.
Negron is a great teacher that goes over theory more than repetition. Taking his class and my physics class were together the most I've ACTUALLY learned in college my entire life. He gives you the reasons why calculus is the way it is and not just tells you what it is, which is absolutely essential and appreciated. Thanks Negron.
TAKE HIM! Not only will you actually learn in this class, but it is pretty stress free. MyMathLab is optional but it will be a great help if you struggle with math.
He teaches the material well. Homework and quizzes are optional, but that means your grade is only the 4 exams and the final exam. I recommend his class.
Negron isnt clear when teaching, which is fine by me because he drops the lowest test grade and 3 of your lowest quiz grades as well as one of your lowest homework grade. What more can a student ask for?! I did have to work fairly hard for this class, because it is strictly based on mystatslab. All of the tests and homework are from there.
He can get a little frustrating at times but just do your homework and practice test and you will get the material. You will not use the book but you will need the access code for mystatlab.
1st of all, rmp wont let me leave a bad post for him & this is my THIRD time writting this just bc I want to beware ppl how terrible he is. Im really good at math & he made me feel like I wasnt smart. 80 questions of mathlab hw due each week! He doesnt care about his students. LOTS of peers hated him too. Attendance is a grade. SUPER RUDE DONT TAKE
Amazing professor. The only issues you'll find is that he expects you to remember some previous classes extremely well. Trig, Pre-Calc, and Calc 1 methods are all a MUST HAVE. Grading is specific but it works. Extremely helpful if you need it. If you want a good grade you are working for it though, no doubts about that.
His class is not hard at all. I missed three days of his class and still managed to pass with a 94%. Homework is on mymathlab and are sometimes long. His tests are exactly the same as the reviews on mymathlab, so be sure to do it. Also participate in class, he gets a lil moody when no one is answering questions. I would definitely recommend him.
As an engineering student he is one of the best professors I've had. He makes mistakes here and there, but thats calc 2. Great professor, just a really tough class. As he would put it "you must make calc dance to your tune." He is very specific with what he wants out of his students and it works really well. Not an easy A but a very fun class.
This was the first math class that I had to study 24/7. The professor/class is extremely hard at first, but it gets easier later on. TIP: Do your homework! If the class does the homework, he will go easier on the exams, if not, good luck. He gives pop quizzes every week, so get ready. If you want to get an A, just do your homework and practice!
Professor Negron is a nice guy (kind of), but he doesn't have very much patience with his students. He often yells at students when he's frustrated with a question. He will expect you to know the past math classes very well(algebra, precalc,trig). You will have to work hard and study often to pass this class . Tutors are your best bet
Professor Negron is a good professor. He wants you to learn, and don't be afraid to ask questions in class. You are only going to learn the material if you ask questions. There is no open book or note during tests, so be sure to memorize all the formulas. You will do well if you do the homework on mymathlab.
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. Unless you are okay with failing. He would not answer any of my e-mails, he gives 80+ questions of homework a week, and he YELLS the entire class. He is easily aggravated and YELLS AND YELLS AND YELLS. Going to tutors doesn't help either, they don't understand his questions or teaching methods.
Professor Negron knows what he is doing for sure. As long as you participate in class, do the work, and ASK QUESTIONS if you do not understand, you'll pass for sure. There is a bit of homework, but nothing a college student can not handle as long as they DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE WEEKEND BEFORE to finish all three chapters of homework in one night!
focuses on theories but minimal examples, if it's not your style of learning dont take him, other than that a nice teacher
Tough but fair. Doesnt want you to learn mechanics akes you think!!!!!!!!!
He is a great professor. He gives a lot of homework which is necessary for a calculus student. He would try to help you pass by giving extra credit activities. He says by the end of the semester students would know how to take limits and understand what is a derivative, so expect that in every single tests.
I loved his class. Calculus is hard and there is a lot work to do, but it's worth it. I learned a lot with Professor Negron. If you decide to work hard and learn calculus, I recommend him
Great teacher. Gives homework and weekly quizzes. Drops lowest grades at end of semester. Would take him again.
You are assigned a lot of homework, but he does it because he wants you to succeed and have a lot of practice. He makes a large effort to help his students succeed if the student shows a desire to learn and do well. Get to class on time, do your homework, and talk to him when you need help. And youll do okay!
Professor Negron has a ridiculously awful teaching style. He spends hours explaining the easy concepts but then flies through the difficult ones. He refers to himself in 3rd person all the time which confuses everyone. He tries to make jokes and be humorous which says that hes only doing that to get his class approval and not actually teach.
Definitely would not take again, which is a shame because the concept of test corrections is great. VERY loud, constantly trying to assert his authority for no reason by calling people out (don't even TRY to take notes on a laptop, he will yell at you in front of the class), and people are failing the class anyway so it's not like it works out.
Worst professor I have ever taken. This is coming from a usually straight A student with a GPA of 3.8. For the first time in my life, I was actually afraid of failing a class. Rude, doesn't know how to explain the concept, offers test corrections but barely raises your grades. He yells at you for coming into class 1 minute late. DO NOT TAKE.
I just took his class he is amazing professor with an amazing way to teach us how to learn math. Trust me take his class. Cool guy alert
Listen. I'm terrible at math, and this semester was especially tough for me with covid. I might even have to retake. However, Negron is the best math professor I have ever had. His explanations, willingness to help, funny persona, and helpful grading scale makes it easier. For me, I was lazy this fall, that's my own fault. Take him, he's the best.
Dude takes forever to respond to emails. Reviews dont have example problems. Overall would never take this dude. In fact if I could go back in time I would to choose another professor.
7 question quizzes worth 50% of our grade and he only gives 40 mins to "try and jot down everything you know" + 5 minutes to upload a pdf to webcourses. Despite everyone asking for more time, he says "if I can explain it in
very clear on how he grades his exams. However, the tests will be difficult because of how he shapes the problems. Do the reviews and learn to see how he grades exams and stuff will make sense. Also very dynamic and funny teacher.
Mr. Negron was a great professor. Although, it depends on who you talk to. To me, the pace of the class felt just fine. Some other peers described it as fast. However, it depends on how you learn best. Although he did teach fast in some instances, if you were to ask him for more clarification on a topic you missed he would gladly go back over it.
Professor Negron has a unique teaching style, but if you engage with it and use resources like unstuck ai, you can succeed. Expect challenging exams, but the material is manageable with diligence.
Negron will explain and go over a lot of stuff, so there's hardly, if ever, going to be something on the test he didn't cover in class. His lectures are long, but he does take a break somewhere in the middle of class. He likes a challenge, so if you like math, take him. If you just need the credit (Medicine majors and others), don't.
