He is a very good professor. He knows what he is talking about, and if he needs to explain further for you he will. Don't be afraid to ask him questions, he does not mind answering. He is petty with poppers. So if he does 5 in the beginning of class and you leave he will add in more at the end of class. Attend class and do the work and you'll pass.

He's a good teacher and definitely knows what he's talking about. If you come in to this class with fairly good algebra knowledge, you'll do fine. He tends to move a little fast so if you zone out for a little bit, you might get behind. I sometimes found it hard to keep up but when I did, he taught it really well and made it easily understandable

His poppers are easy and funny, but DO NOT leave class before he says it's over.

Professor Sosa teaches in detail, so that you can understand the concepts. Although at times he may be hard to follow, he is willing to clear up any questions if you simply ask. He does not do all his poppers at one time during the class, he does them sporadically. Take the practice exams because they are 10% extra credit to your actual exams.

Sosa is great. He records his meetings so if you miss something, don't be afraid to go back. Material is taught well, the book in fact helped me a lot. A lot of HW though, however, helped me stay on top of the material and made the quizzes and tests seem more doable. Not a single complaint about Sosa's class, would take again.

The best math professor I have encountered at UH.I am not the best at math and he does not judge when it comes to explain how basic math works. He stops constantly and make sure you processed all that was said and if there is confusion, without anyone saying anything he will repeat himself in a much simpler way to make sure you fully understand.

Sosa is a cool and helpful teacher. Only issue is this guy never uses a microphone during a lecture so if you're sitting in the back, you really have to lean in and actually hear what he gotta say, which kinda tired me out ngl. the calculus lab had mandatory attendance with quizzes every th, and the exams are worth like 80% of grade so study alot!!

Hes a decent math professor who is light hearted and tries to make everyone feel comfortable. The material can seem like a lot especially when you have 3 different units on one test. You can opt out of the final if you maintain a B in the class. There is quite a bit of homework and quizzes due every week.

Attendance is definitely mandatory since he does not post the lectures/notes online. There are 2 test and a final but you can opt out of the final if your overall grade in that class is 80+.Before each test he releases a practice Test that is basically the same as the actual test and gives extra credit if you complete it.

Sosa is an amazing professor. He introduces you to the world of calculus in such a fantastic way. If you pay attention in class, follow his lead, and do the notes and quizzes, you will at least get a B-. Definitely take him if you can.

Great professor and tries to make what he teaches fun. There is a moderate amount of homework and quizzes, but manageable. Exams are very similar to the review. Although attendance isn't mandatory, he doesn't post his notes online, so you have to go in person. Overall, easy class.

I took his online Finite Math course. It was very well laid out and expectations are clear. His lecture videos were helpful, and working through the homeworks/quizzes made me more confident in my knowledge. Best way I found is to try to get ahead on the weekend so I don't have to worry about it during the week! Online Finite is the way to go!

Professor Sosa is great!! Very welcoming guy and is always willing to re-explain problems if students don't understand. There's weekly homework's and quizzes and 3 exam's. If you're passing the class by the end of the semester then you can opt out of the final! Would take his class again if I could haha.

Super easy class— the practice tests are basically the same as the real tests. Soses was okay, I thought his lectures moved a little slow and he has a tendency to go on tangents every now and then but it was nothing too bad. He doesn't release the note from class or have any online recordings though so you kinda gotta attend class.

Very good professor! Prepares you well for the exam. 5 points extra credit avilable on each test if you do practice test. I got 100s on all three exams just by spamming the practice test a couple days before. You can opt out of the final if you have a C or higher in the class. Highly recommend him!! very pleasent to talk to and understanding!

This class is very easy if you attend every lecture and pay attention. He is great at explaining concepts and gives bonus point opportunities for each test. He doesn't count attendance but if you miss class he doesn't post the notes so you'll likely have no clue what you're doing. There can be a lot of homework at times but it's pretty easy.

Sosa literally is so caring and helpful, his lectures can be fast but if you ask him to slow down or clarify something he will and be so nice about it. sm extra credit opportunities, tests exactly like practice tests, and 20 attempts on quizzes. the other finite sections had wayyy worse grades than ours and other profs can't compare lol. trust me.
