As a freshman in college taking an online class, more specifically a math class, was very scary. Professor Borroto is very caring and understandable, if you need extra help with assignments he will answer your question, and even extend the homework. He also gives extra attempts on the assignments. He is amazing, I think everyone should take him.
If you are looking for an easy, caring, respectful, helpful, sweet and understanding prof take this one. EVERYBODY MUST TAKE PROFESSOR RIVERA !!! I took him in my first semester in college and it was so amazing. He posts videos and his own powerpoints notes but i think with only the textbook you can manage to get an A . Easy A Professor. Gives EC.
Professor Rivera is the best math teacher I have ever taken! He is so understanding and comprehends that we have personal problems like every human. He goes out of his way to make sure we do our hw/quizzes on time. I would take him again in a heartbeat. He replies to emails too unlike other teachers!!
Amazing Math Professor!! I recommend everyone take him. He was so understanding and extended assignments. He even added extra attempts. He respond very fast on remind and helps you with anything you need. But if you do take him please take advantage of all the opportunities he gives.
He is the best math professor I have had!! So understanding and truly wants the best for his students. I would take him again in a heartbeat!!
for doing online math this was the best professor out there!!! Super understanding gives extra credit and has even dropped some of my lowest grades.
He is truly the best. He wants all of his students to do well, so he even extended due dates and dropped everyone's lowest quizzes. He is easy to communicate with through the remind app. He was always open to helping me out with any topics I was struggling with. Take him!!!
Professor Borotto really cares about his students! He follows the syllabus and clearly tells you what he expects of you. He really makes sure everybody understands the material before moving on and is open to questions. Definitely don't skip class because he takes participation grades.
I took him for the online course; his first assignment was due the first day classes began, and I had work. My assignment was overdue and I wasn't aware I would only be given a few hours to do it. I tried to contact him everywhere and he never reached out. I had to drop him as a result. These reviews were very deceiving.
Sweetest prof I've ever had. He truly cares about his students and is so kind! Exams are easier than MML hw and all hw/quizzes are open all semester to improve on. Practice exams are exactly like the exams and he gets to class early to review before test. I struggle with math and he's hard to understand, but the benefits outweigh teaching style.
Amazing professor! He did care about his students, and when you asked them for help they would be there for you and he would also help us review before tests and finals!! He also gave a lot of extra credit!
In my experience, as long as you want good grades and are willing to work hard for it, then Mr. Oscar will help you (one day Mr. Oscar used 5 outside class hours to help me). By the way, I am student for pre-cal2412. (Actually I don't care about the rating at all, but I would like to take some time to give my friend Mr. Oscar a fair evaluation)
Professor Borotto is an amazing teacher. He explains concepts well, cares about his students, and wants them all to succeed. He is so helpful, and will repeatedly go over material even if only one person doesn't understand. It's definitely not an easy A, you have to put in work, but professor Borotto is there for you and willing to help.
Professor Borroto is an excellent professor. He is patient and understanding, he also is happy to help in any way he can. If you are like me and not that great at any form of math, he tries to make it so you can understand what is being taught. Just make sure you do the homework and attend classes and you will be ok. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Mr. Borroto is a great professor, he is caring and understanding. He makes sure his students get the material and has no problem explaining topics multiple times for his students to understand. there is a lot of homework in this course but he gives plenty of time to get it done plus extra credit opportunities. I would really recommend his class.
Professor Borroto is an amazing lecturer. He works with the students to make sure u are on track till the end of the semester. He replies to your email fast. Provides tutorial videos, and PowerPoint slides to help you through. Extends assignment's due dates and makes review before unit tests. I recommend students take his class.
I wish I could give him more than five stars! This is the best and most rewarding math class I have ever taken. He seriously cares for all of his students, gives extra credit, and assists you however he can along the way. If you need to take math, take him!
Professor is pretty straight forward in teaching. It is clear he loves the work that he does. He is encouraging and will work with you as long as you put in the work. His best quality is patience. He prepares you for the exam. Just ask questions and he will answer by email or in tutoring sessions. Great professor!
For other students who are going to take this class I would like you to know that you are taking the class with a very good teacher. He is an excellent teacher who you can count on for whatever you need. He is always willing to help and explains as many times as necessary until you understand. For me he is an excellent teacher of the best.
easiest professor. lot of extra credits. quizzes are super easy. easiest a however, he doesn't explain the material in way that is easy for a student to understand. So get ready to study on your own if you don't understand him or his way. other than that, the best professor at Lone Star period.
He gives out extra credit , not too much homework, tests were easy.
He's a really nice man. In the time that I was in his class I saw how good of a person he was, he cared about the students when they were going through a hard time personally and made sure that they were ok. He is also very funny and explains things thoroughly and makes sure that the class understands what we are learning.
Professor Borroto was absolutely amazing. He cares so much about his students and provides assistance when you need it. If you need a math professor for precalculus or statistics, I HIGHLY recommend you take him. I had such a great experience in his class, and hopefully I'll be taking another summer class with him in the future.
Professor Rivera was so patient, helpful and really cared about you as a student and your education. If you take the time to do your homework, study the notes and take advantage of tutoring, you will pass and feel more confident in a subject that most find difficult to do. Take this class, you won't regret it and you'll end up loving to learn!!! :D
Professor Borroto cares deeply about the success of all his students. He is not afraid to spend a lot of class time answering questions, sometimes to a fault, in that the entire class could be occasionally delayed by one student. He offered plenty of extra credit and support and was personably and open to all students.
Professor Borroto is very nice and puts a lot of effort in helping students understand the material. He gives extra credit for completing optional homework. Also, the content on D2L is well organized so that you can easily find what you need (tech aid, videos, class presentations, and practice exams). I took Math 2412 not Math 1314. :)
I took professor Borroto for a summer precal class. It was one of the greatest math classes I've had. He does give a decent amount of homework but nothing intolerable and in the end he drops the lowest five. There is also optional homework that you can do for extra points. His test were pretty simple, he also does a class review the day before.
Professor B made the entire "return to college" experience unforgettable for this old lady. He absolutely cares about the success of all his students. The workload is manageable and he will give you all the tutoring support that you need. One of the very best Professors, truly!
Professor Rivera Borroto was very kind and professional throughout my pre calculus course. He stayed after class with me to answer my questions almost every day. We only had 1 mid term and 1 final. He gives lots of extra credit and very little homework. He even gave us snacks during the final exam!!! Professor RB is fantastic!
Professor Borroto is the best math prof i have ever taken. his lectures are easy to understand, and as always the hw will be mostly on pearsons. He will reply to you mostly within the same day, and hes such a caring professor. Tests were relatively easy if you study. Hes the most adoring and genuine professor ive ever taken. would 100% recommend.
This professor was absolutely amazing at what they do. The professor goes through the chapter explains what each part, they make sure everyone understand everything. He is also very understanding and will help you figure out things should you have any concerns about homework or test. Overall he is an amazing professor
Professor R. Borroto is the BEST professor ever. He really cared for all of his students, and made sure that no one falls behind. His lectures are very informative, and easy to understand. All HW are on Pearson as usual. He will make sure that you are prepared for upcoming tests, and does everything in his power to make sure you succeed in class.
So far one of the best math professors I've ever had. He's super friendly with everyone and he will go over study guides with the entire class and make sure everyone understands each topic. The lectures were also easy to understand and you won't be drowning in homework.
very helpful and understanding, would take it again!
He is a really good professor and would want his student to pass, and all you have to do is make sure you do the mathlab participation with the review quizzes and test if you could do that is an easy A and also midterm exam and finals would recommend you to take him .
Professor Borroto is a great teacher who had always showed up for his students, and has always inspired us to keep going. He truly cares that we understand the curricular and most importantly about us as not only students but people. Never skipping a beat he kept us going throughout the semester both professionally and personally. Thank you.
Professor Borroto is simply amazing. He was definitely meant to be a professor and does his job well. I found the content challenging, but he made the class realllly doable. You will have constant opportunities to improve your grade w/ extra credit. I was expecting to make a C but made an A with effort and his help. He is the best. Sign up!
Best professor ever! He would make sure we would understand all the basics of calculus so we could all be prepared for future classes. He was supportive all along and was very caring with all the students. Definitely take him if you can!
He is great, very caring, and attentive to students needs, slowing it down, repeating himself. I would say that the most difficult part about his class is his need to explain the multiple ways to do the problem, it got confusing, but he will go back and reexplain if you ask him to. HW will take you about 1 hr per assignment, so thats really it.
Professor Borroto was an outstanding professor. I would say to do your homework before class so you know that the day's lecture/topic is about. If you are a good student then he is a good teacher. This was my first year and Professor Borroto was very flexible and very patient. He will work with you if you are open for improvement.
My professor was available every week and I was able to message him on Remind when I needed guidance. He was so sweet and always helped me out. Please don't be scared to take this class!
I took this course with an online application which I can say had surprisingly good outcomes. Initially I was a little nervous that learning online would be hard but the MML content was good and I learned easily. If you take notes on the lecture part of each unit you will be set for homework, quizzes, and tests.
easily one of the best professors ive ever had. when i was behind on grades he would help me and encourage me to do my best. hes great at teaching and is very knowledgable. he is always willing to help and id definetly take his classes again.
By far the best professor I had, especially for someone who has trouble with an attention span. Despite that, I finished extremely well by the end of the semester and my best class yet. He does a great job at ensuring you understand the subject material, to the point where I can say this class was easier than any beforehand unironically.
He is very caring and wants everyone in his class to pass. Make sure not to miss the sample review, which he goes over before the exam. MyMathlab assignments are due each week, but they will not be counted as late until the end of semester. Unlimited quiz/homework attempts. Highly recommend him!!!
Thank you so much Professor Borroton for making statistic easy for me,mostly Probability aspect.Your method of teaching is very interesting.
This proffesor is kind caring and funny he makes you enjoy his class and want to learn statistics i feel like i made a good choice when picking him as a proffesor.
I took his online precalculus course, and it was a lot better than I anticipated. He provided so many resources that if I didn't understand something, he had other options to learn it and he really wants us to understand the material. The material itself was hard, but if you have to take precal online, I definitely recommend him.
I absolutely love this teacher. He is amazing take him. Attendance isn't mandatory but it is part of your grade. he gives all the resources you will need to pass his test along with a test review. He also gives extra credit and he is very good at teaching., again take him if you can.
Professor Borroto was one of the best professors I have had. His class is very straightforward and you will get a good grade if you do all the assignments. For exams, he uploads study guides which he goes over in class. The exams are very similar to the guides. I am not a math person but he made the class enjoyable and easy. Take his class!!
He gives good feedback when you post some assignment and does his best to ensure students pass.
Wow! This was an amazing class! Please take this professor for Stats. He explained and broke things down! He gives real life scenarios and applies Statistics in the example. Very caring and understanding. Participation in class is a plus. Do your part by reading ahead, do the homework assignments, and engage in class activities and discussions! 5/5
This professor is very caring and all his work is very understanding. It can be a lot of work but it's very easy to do.
If you put in effort in his class, he will make sure to acknowledge it!
professor borroto was an amazing professor and was kind and understanding
Professor Botto is very clear and concise with his vocabulary. He tries to make sure that every student understands what he saying and understands the material. He is very funny and make sure the environment is very warm and make sure that everyone has a chance to succeed. I would definitely take another class with him if I could.
A good professor only thing is you most have a webcam for quizzes/test other than that his cool
Professor Rivera Borroto is very dedicated to his work. He provided many resources to help students succeed and made himself available to help as much as possible which I found very helpful. Overall, he was very caring and prioritized creating a warm and welcoming environment despite being an online class.
Very good professor, definitely recommend taking if he is an option.
I took statistics over the summer and Professor Borroto was amazing! I always looked forward to his class. I am usually horrible at math, but Professor Borroto was a good teacher and made things make sense. He would repeat things every time someone didn't understand because his students' success is the most important thing to him.
Very straightforward, I feel like he doesn't take the time to explain everything well to his online students. Too much load work each week and gives us very few days to complete it. He is very nice but he gives out way too much work and doesn't explain everything thoroughly.
I think Mr.Rivera is a great person. He's been very helpful and supportive when I've been stuck or confused. Thank you for everything you've helped with! You're helping me pass this class and succeed, I'll forever be grateful!
One of the best professors i have ever had. The class has many bonus opportunities. Took him in the 8 week semester and it was super easy if you work. The class is engaging because of group projects. Overall, the best professor
I highly recommend taking this professor and is very helpful and puts in resources to help you and offers office hours as well
He was very through so you can know what the material was and how
He helped me the best he could to give me a better grade. Professor is very nice and helpful. No strict due dates were helpful.
Easy class. Will work with you and help you through out the way. I would 100% take this class again.
Professor Borroto has been my favorite professor yet! He truly cares for his students, and provides his students with any help they need. I definitely recommend taking your courses with him.
Great all around teacher. He responds fast to emails, has constant meeting in person and online to help students succeed and genuinely wants you to do food in the class.
If you need to take Statistics, take Professor Rivera Borroto. The class itself is difficult in some ways, but he makes sure you never fall behind, and he emails back right away. I took an 8-week class, and with an 8-week class, it's a lot of work jammed in; he made sure we weren't stressed and would take away assignments. Best professor!
He was an awesome professor he understood I need this class to graduate and he allowed me early time to do my final and he gave extra credit and dropped lowest grades
13 years passed since I last went to school, so I went into MATH1314 concerned that I would struggle and fall behind especially since I had to take this course online. Every lesson there were multiple formats in how to learn (book, powerpoint, video, etc.). His class is very organized and he offers several opportunities to receive extra credit.
Professor Rivera Borroto is a great professor! He cares about his students and very accommodating. I was struggling a little with pre-cal but he offers many good resources like video reviews for tests and tutoring as well. I recommend taking his class!
He is very understanding and gives work in decent easy to complete quantities. Lectures are fairly easy to understand and if you happen to not get something he has decent office hours or you can talk/ask a few questions after class.
I was afraid at first of college algebra, but Mr. Rivera made it too easy to understand
This professor is the best professor I've ever had, he cares so much about his students and will go above and beyond for each one of them. He takes time out of his personal life to help you just so you can be a better student. He's so funny and you will make you look forward to go to class. A lot of hw? Yes but he gives you enough time.
This professor it's the best! he helps u a lot if you are having difficulties and he is super nice and helpful and he also speaks spanish! he's literally the best profesor you could pick im not even exaggerating lmao
I must administer Prof Borroto is a talented instructor with experienced teaching methods which encourages and give me the zeal to study and know maths despite some difficulties.He is patient in teaching making sure every student in class understands what is been taught.He answers any questions and gives room for clarification of any doubts.
Mr. Rivera has been by far one of the most caring professors I have had and is very attentive to our needs. As for the course, it is not difficult but staying on top of work and ahead is very beneficial to avoid getting behind.
Professor Rivera was absolutely amazing, he is very helpful and easy going. he cares about all his students and tries his absolute best to help everyone get a good grade in his class. he would have tutoring almost after every lecture in the afternoon to help those who struggled during the lecture. to sum up, he is a great professor! you cant fail !
He is the best teacher I have ever had. I hope he can teach calculus or any other math subject in the future. He is just the best.
He was an amazing professor, his lectures were very well put together. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does grade it so its an easy 100 in the grade book, he drops your grades and is understanding when you need to make up an exam. He was also funny and caring. I hope he teaches Calc in the future.
I took this as an 8-week course, and this was by far the easiest class i have taken. He explains material thoroughly and makes sure to work with students if they have any questions. Would highly recommend this class.
One of the most active professors I've had he gives in depth videos going over all quizzes, tests, and exams and any additional problems you may have. He teaches you tips and tricks with the calculator, and is understanding of time commitment, and other issues. He gives plenty of time to remake quizzes, and homework, and keeps his course simple.
Great class to take if you're struggling with algebra there's recorded webex meetings if you can't make them where he goes over all the material for quizzes, and tests in detail. He's available in-person at the campus as well. The course is very organized with directing you where to go. Provides feedback to all students in discussion posts.
Professor Borroto is an excellent teacher. His teaching style enabled us students to keep up during class and comprehend it and if we didn't he greatly encouraged questions. In addition to his lectures he gives you lots of resources to succeed from reviews to videos on how to use the calculator and he encourages you to learn and not stress.
He was probably the best professor for Math I've ever had. I have taken Math 1314 3 times. Yes, 3 times. This was the first time I've understood majority of what I've learned. He's kind, and will do anything to help you if you or your grade is struggling. He granted +5 points on tests if you went to the review for them (they are 3 hours long).
He was very understanding and works well with his students, definitely recommend taking him as a professor.
Taking this class you will be able to be taught by a professor who is very helpful. No matter the question my professor answered and provided extra guidance to make sure you get full clear out.overall my professor was amazing!
A Great professor when helping helping out on math. He's very organized with and shares helpful resources reviewing exams before they start. Gives you extra credit if you participate on your work and understandable to learn with ease!
A good professor to choose for math! He's very organized and help you out on reviews before the exam starts. Gives extra points if you participate working the assignments and understandable when lecturing new material.
Amazing professor! I would definitely take his class again if possible. He truly cares about his students learning journey and extremely empathetic. I honestly can say he has been my favorite professor. I do suggest any student struggling with math to take math in person to get a better understanding.
Take this professor! He cares about his students and gives many opportunities to make sure you pass his class. He uses MyMathLab for assignments and lockdown browser for tests. Homework on MyMathLab is lengthy but if you put effort into the class you will pass.
I had the pleasure of taking a math course with Professor Rivera Borroto, and I can confidently say he is an excellent instructor. He is extremely organized, especially in the MML videos, where he clearly explains concepts and provides plenty of examples to reinforce learning. All necessary resources are readily available.
Homework assignments can be lengthy, they are incredibly beneficial. They truly help reinforce the material and prepare you well for quizzes and exams. If you stay on top of the work, you will see significant improvement in your understanding. Best professor ever.
Communication with Professor Rivera Borroto is outstanding. He is very responsive and always willing to help solve any problems quickly. The use of the Remind app for communication is a fantastic addition, allowing students to reach him seamlessly. If you are looking for a dedicated and supportive professor, he is the one to take.
He genuinely cares about his students' success and provides multiple opportunities to earn good grades. My advice is to study hard, practice consistently, and complete assignments on time. Doing so will not only help with the coursework but also ensure success on the monitored quizzes and exams. I highly recommend Professor Rivera Borroto.
He made learning math easy. He wouldn't move on in his lectures until everyone understood the material and went around the classroom to help students. There were plenty of opportunities for extra credit. The problems on the tests were similar to what was taught in class, so no surprises. I would definitely recommend this professor.
He provided a Webex meeting every time there was a test coming up and stayed with us until we got to the end of the review sheet and helped me whenever I was confused on a certain problem making the questions so much easier to solve, by showing step by step process on how to solve each problem by hand along with calculator functions.
The professor cares a lot about his students and does his best trying to accommodate to you. If you miss anything. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does take it as a grade also he provides a lot of extra points if you just show up which is AWESOME.
Very good at teaching math.
One excellent professor is Professor Borroto. He's really nice. Before taking the online tests, he prepares for each one. Spend time on your assignments and, if needed, ask questions if you want to receive good grades.
This review is for Math 0324. Very good professor. Has in-class sessions to teach students what they need to know.
He's one of the best professors at Lone Star College- always willing to help all the students. He uses Remind App to respond to all of the questions as quick as he can. He gave us extra credit and participation points. He is an amazing professor. I would love to take his class again.
Professor Borroto is one of the best professors I've ever had. He truly cares for his students and wants his students to succeed and pass his class. His lectures are easy and if you don't understand he will make sure you do. I will recommend him to everyone who is taking Statistics
Professor Rivera Barroto truly cares for his students. He took over my in-person math-1314 class mid-semester. While he had to play catch up with my class, his teaching methods and knowledge of math helped immensely. I haven't finished the course, but am working hard to complete the class. -Natalie Krippel MATH-1314 TR 10:30am-11:50
this review is for Math 0242 or NCBO for Statistics. Super easy class! More like a refresher. He takes the time to go over the material to clearly understand. There is homework and that is super easy as well. Participation matters. Test are super simple also. I recommend taking his class
He's very understandable about certain things and clear with grades.
Professor Borroto is great at what he does! He presents various formulas throughout the semester, and goes into detail of how the formula is derived, which allows for a much smoother application when solvng problems. The quizzes and some homework problems are much more challenging than the test but serve as a great preparation source.
He's a great professor who explains problems well. I took him for 1342 and 0242 NCBO stats, the way he teaches was pretty easy to understand and he goes through test reviews during class. He also provides online video guides through the review so students can go through it on their own time. overall a great professor who cares for his students!!
Professor Borroto was an awesome professor who engaged with his students constantly and showed that he cared. I took him for 0242 NCBO and it was a fun class to be in! I would definitely recommend
Nice and friendly.
Great professor. Will help his students to succeed in his class
Professor Borroto is AMAZING. I seriously cannot recommend him enough. I took him for Math 0242 and 1342, and he is such an amazing and caring professor who truly cares about you passing. His classes are very easy. Just attend class and do the test reviews provided; they are a great preparation for the tests. He is seriously such a sweetheart!
Took him for Math 0242 and it's one of the easiest classes to pass. It's more like a basic algebra class that is supplemental for Math 1342. The professor is great and prioritizes in his students' understanding the lecture more than just finishing the lecture! make sure to do the test reviews as they are essential in wanting to pass the class.
Perhaps one of the best Math Professors or teachers I've ever had. From the beginning, his number one goal was to ensure that his students had every opportunity to succeed and excel in his class. From his in-class participation, extra credit opportunities, and the days to review and prepare for each exam. Success is guaranteed to anyone involved.
Mr. Borroto is a good teacher, he gives lots of opportunities to get one on one with him after class. He goes through the homework with you if you have difficulties with my math lab homework. The homework and quizzes aren't due until the end of the course so you have the ability to be flexible with your homework.
Mr Borroto was a great teacher. He was caring his students, spent time to explain an unclear problem, and he was willing to answer any concerns related to the course.
Mr.Borroto was honestly alright. he was kind and lenient but man was his lectures so difficult to understand. he skips over SO MUCH and expects you to learn it at home. the homework's weren't difficult however the quizzes felt like a diff language. he is lenient and tests are exactly like the reviews so that makes up for it.
This review is for Math 0324, for me I found this subject to be very easy, but whenever I had trouble understanding a certain problem my professor would show me how to solve it step by step.
Awesome professor. Very approachable and willing to help you understand. Very passionate; you can tell he really wants you to learn and succeed. Attendance is mandatory for a better grade, so try not to skip.
Awesome professor. Very approachable and willing to teach you. You can tell he wants you to understand material and succeed. Attendance is mandatory for a good grade
Professor Borroto is one of the most genuine professors who wants every one of his students to pass the class and gives every opportunity as well. 50% of your grade is showing up to class, doing the hw (which he extends the due date until the end of the semester with 0 penalty) and doing the online quizzes for the hw (also no due date). 10/10 class
He was genuinely very nice. He came in clutch a lot of times when I needed it the most, my work schedule messed me up a lot, but he was able to work with me and help me get a good grade in his class. Definitely take him if you can!
He explains things clearly and responds quickly to emails. The grading is fair 50% is homework and attendance, the rest is exams. Just stay on top of things and you'll do fine.
Professor Oscar is very nice and he want his students to succeed always in his class, and moreover, he always make at time for extra class after lecture for those who are interested.
I had Professor Borroto for a couple weeks towards the end of the semester after my original professor had to leave due to personal circumstances. He made the transition seamless and was very understanding. His lectures are straightforward; pay attention and ask questions if you have any. He is always willing to help as long as you put in effort.
professor borroto is very sweet and patient when teaching. he always checks with his students to ensure that everyone understands the material. very good teacher and definitely helped explain material very well. took this class in highschool and barley passed but i passed very easily in his clas
Professor Borroto really cares about his student's success! This class is very manageable, I will say that there could be some improvement with the quizzes, they are a bit difficult. Though they are doable, although maybe some previous exam questions would allow for more practice! This was a really simple class, just stay on top of homework!
Prof. Rivera was honestly amazing, super caring and very forgiving as well. He took me in for office hours multiple times and took his time to teach me.
I took Prof. Rivera for 1342stats and 0242math and he was great, he was lenient, kind, genuinely cared for his students and will take his time to teach.
Professor Borroto extremely cares for his students and does the best he can so every student understands a lecture.
I have struggled with math my whole life! I finally passed thanks to professor!
Very kind and helpful, he wants you to succeed and it shows
Again, professor helped me understand statistics!
Professor Oscar is one of the most helpful professor that I had in my career. He gives you many ways to understand his topic even this is an 100% asynchronous class. He took the time to make review sessions with the class. Also, he extend the homework until the final day. He use apps to remind every homework. 100% recommended.
Professor Borroto is a great teacher. He makes a lot of effort for his students to understand the material.
He was very kind and took time out of his day to answer any questions you had. Explains lectures very well and makes the class enjoyable overall
Took him for Math 0242, enjoyable and simple class. Very attentive and makes sure you understand the lectures well.
He's a good teacher and easy to talk too. His lectures could come out to be a little lengthy and sometimes confusing. But he's really nice and one of the best options. There's a lot of homework but it's not due until the final day. He drops quizzes and bonus points for the final.
I would recommend him. He was very clear in his assignments and helped you if you needed it. His class wasnt hard at all coming from someone who has never gotten good grades in math. He reviews the tests before with the class to ensure you will pass. Great course, great professor!
I liked how the professor would take the time out of lecture to better explain a topic if we did not under stand. He also hold tutoring after class to help better explain sections and help with home work.
i'm not trying to be racist but i couldn't understand anything all semester because if his very strong accent.
Look when i tell you math is not my strong suit i mean math is not my strong suit, Ive had to take this class twice and taking it with him on a 3rd go around just proves professors matter, or maybe he just fit my learning style! Hes very interactive and inclusive and constantly explaining things in different forms and makes math easy! Take him!
A teacher who is caring for his students and does his best to help them whenever needed!
Professor Rivera Borroto is truly exceptional, enthusiastic, and funny! I really liked the online meetings very helpful. He takes a lot of time to provide notes, videos, and any help needed to succeed. I cannot think of anything that he could do to improve he really does go above and beyond for his students to learn and be engaged.
He has a true passion for math, clear communication, genuinely cares, and is inspiring. He creates a learning environment that is both challenging and supportive. Meetings are always engaging and well-structured, often supplemented with real-world examples that help solidify complex concepts.
This review is for Math 0324-What sets him apart is his approachability I never had a professor be so dedicated this helps you not want to give up and keep going! I like that he used this app called remind very user friendly to communicate. He is always willing to answer questions, provide feedback, and go the extra mile to ensure student success.
This review is for Math 0324-I feel fortunate to have taken this course and would highly recommend it to any student looking for an inspiring and enriching academic experience one of the best professors I have had! If you struggle with math he will help you get through it!
Many teachers have accents however we are in a society with many different cultures if something is not said clearly with accent or no accent I feel we should always ask for clarification and move forward. Professor Rivera Borroto is truly exceptional and wants his students to succeed! He responds very quickly and wants his students to succeed.
This professor is amazing! He cares a lot about his students. Before every test he held a web session going over the practice test. For the final we had an in person review and stated he would give 5 extra points on the final to those who showed up. He uploads helpful videos on every unit. Offers 1on1 tutoring.Take him!
overall one of the best professors!

He was very kind and helped my class when our previous professor at the end of the semester swapped with him
I had the opportunity to take a mathematics course with Professor Borroto, and I was impressed by their strong command of the subject and clear dedication to student learning. Professor demonstrates a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and is highly effective at conveying complex material in an accessible and structured way.
Course homework and quizzes are through mathlab. If you are not great at math and need this course. Take him you will do great. Keep up with the homework. He has study guides that he will go over. Test are pretty much exactly the study guides. Just have to take the time to study.
Professor Rivera Borroto was a genuine angel! I'm someone who has always struggled with math and it's been a sore subject for me. He is an extremely compassionate and intelligent individual with a passion for math and a passion for his students' learning and success. If you need to take math, take him!

The class was pretty easy despite the topic being kinda tricky. The videos he posts are really good and informative, and the study guides are super similar to the test, making it really good study material. Definitely recommend taking him.
Professor wants you to succeed
I would say this professor is very professional, he's always there when you have questions or need help and host webex for important exams.
I'm not somebody who has ever been proficient in math, this was my first ever college class I've taken as a graduate and I am so unbelievably spoiled to have this professor. Insane amount of bonus points for midterm and final, just do your homework. Professor is always accessible and very understanding. All professors should be like Mr. Horrors :)
As somebody who has always struggled in math, this is probably the first time I've gotten an A in a math course. Professor B is very caring and understanding as well as patient! I took his summer course and while it moved fast it was very memorable! So thankful to have this professor :)
The professor focuses on the enjoyment and learning of the students. He makes sure that everyone understands the material and is actively participating in class. I enjoyed class time because of him even though he might go off on tangents sometime.
Professor Rivera Borroto is a very caring, he's always there when you need help and is very quick with his response time when you have questions about certain things. Overall a very great professor.
This professor is very understanding and genuinely cares about his students. He always takes time to help no matter how hard the question is. His clear explanations and patience make difficult math topics easier to understand. Learning with him is less stressful and much more enjoyable. I'd take any class he teaches without hesitation.
Great professor! He truly cares about his students and their grade so if you have an issue just email him. He will respond very quickly back. We had two exams with homework being graded higher than quizzes and exams. I wouldn't necessarily say it's hard just really time consuming so if you want an A you need to do something everyday!
He's a really caring professor. He likes for students to engage in class. I took this class during the summer and he made it doable. He provides a lot of help. It is impossible to fail his class!
Professor Oscar Rivera Borroto is a really caring instructor. If you have any questions, just let him know, he will be happy to answer them all. He explains concepts very clearly. I took his class during the summer, and it moved pretty quickly. Homework and quizzes are completed through MyStatLab.
Amazing professor! Extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about students' success. Always patient, explains concepts clearly, and is very understanding about life situations. Makes the class engaging and stress-free. Highly recommend if you want to learn and feel supported!
He is such an amazing professor that carries everyone along. He tries to make sure the students understands before he proceeds to next level. He is respectful and makes his class comfortable for learning. He wants the students to be involved and participate in class work. He is ready to teach after hour. Please take his class.
It's been 5 years since I've been in school. 10plus years since, a statistics course. I could not have asked for anyone better than Professor Oscar Borroto. He truly cares about the success of his students & willing to come before and after class to help. Do the assignments, show up to class, and take advantage of offered resources. hard to fail!
At first, I was nervous about joining Statistics, but I quickly realized that my instructor is fantastic. He is kind, approachable, and always supportive. He patiently answers all our questions, turning what seemed overwhelming into a fun and engaging learning experience. I am really enjoying this class!
Professor Boroto was very flexible when it came to scheduling and turning in assignments and quizzes. He truly cares for the wellbeing of his students, as he doesn't just help us learn, but he also helps us by accomodating the course to our busy lives. I highly recommend taking him!
Good professor!
Very easy to follow and cares about his students!
Good professor, cares about helping students
Professor Rivera Borroto genuinely cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. His expectations are clear, and as long as you study, watch the lecture clips, and complete all assignments, you'll do well. He's very responsive and always willing to help with any questions. Great professor!
Took Professor Rivera as a 6 weeks summer course for precal. He did a great job in helping clear define questions and expectation. He responded to my emails in a timely manor. He allows for extra credit and chances to go back and redo assignments and attain a higher grade. The professor will help you as much as you are willing to be helped.
Professor Oscar Rivera Borroto was fantasic and I look forward to taking more classes that he teaches.
I took the 6 week summer course as long as you study and do the online assignments you are able to get a good grasp on the subject and keep a good grade, Professor Oscar rivera borroto was amazing, very patient, understanding and cares for his students.
Great teacher to take this course with, very understandable and caring. Very easy class to pass as long as you do the work.
Very nice professor and understanding. Pay attention in class, and the only thing needed is mypearson, and you are set!
Wonderfully clear on all topics and fully understanding, easily one of the best professors I've had for a class. He makes the content feel engaging and is very on top of any new information!
The subject itself can be a bit complicated, especially if math isn't your best suite. Even then, he is an amazing teacher who makes the material easier than it is! I was never good at math, only algebra, and I managed to understand a lot of concepts from this course. I really recommend this professor.
Professor Borroto cares about his students and is very understanding. He is also lenient and offers extra credit!
He's the best professor to have for precalc. Everything that he provides is there and he gives review sessions all the time for each unit if you have any questions! Would definitely take him again.
I took Statistics in the 6-week summer course, and Professor Borroto was amazing! His lectures are very straightforward and he always makes sure we stay on schedule while also ensuring the whole class understands the material. He is very kind and cares about his students. I would highly recommend his class & would definitely take again!
Professor Rivera Borroto communicated very well with his class. He also showed interest in his student's success.
Professor Oscar is a great professor for statistics. I would highly recommend taking his class he offers several chances to get bonus points on the Mid Term and Final exams. I also recommend attending his classes in person. If you fall behind in anything talk to him he will try his best to help you. If you fail his class that is on you not him.
This is such a great professor, I definitely recommend taking him! His lectures are amazing, explains well and clearly, and lets you feel comfortable with asking questions you need. He's very approachable, he's calm and respectful, and he's understanding. I took a 6 week summer session 2 course and it was well paced, and decent amount of homework.
Prof. Borroto is such a beautiful soul. He teaches with passion and making sure he carried everyone along. He allows to ask questions where u are confuse and takes his time to expain more in a way you will understand. He is respectful and he makes his class comfortable for learning as he encourages students to be involve. Please take his class.
I loved this professor he was so nice and caring and wants you to pass he always make sure you understood as well.
I truly appreciated how responsive and supportive the prof throughout the Precalculus course. Being an online class, it was great to know that any questions I had would be addressed right away. The prompt email replies made the learning experience much smoother.
Professor Borroto has been great through this whole semester. He's always easy to get a hold of and I've never had any problems with him! This class was a summer online course for me so it was difficult, but he truly made it better. There was lots of opportunities for extra credit (including 20 pts on the final) which was a lifesaver. TAKE HIM!
Professor Rivera truly cares about his student's success. He gives lots of extra credit opportunities, drops some grades, and he is very flexible, understanding and helpful. There is 2-4 homework assignments per chapter through MyLab Stats (20-40min each), and quizzes, but can move deadlines. He also brings snacks sometimes. Take him if you can!!
My professor was fantastic; his engaging teaching style fostered participation and ensured feedback for every discussion. He encouraged connections by requiring replies to two classmates. The course was excellent, with amazing lectures and well-organized work. Great professor, great course, 10/10.
Oscar is very nice and caring and help you as much as he can but he has strong accent. I do not recommend Lone Star College Cy-Fair becuase the teachers are reviewing exams and are baby sitting students to pass courses.
He's amazing! Nicest professor i've ever had! Def take him!
He is an awesome professor! Please take him!
I'm not gonna lie he's really nice
Nice person, nice explanations.
He does a good job helping people understand what they need to know
Really good and fun teacher 100% take this professor
Math has always been the most difficult for me, but Prof. RB has been the absolute best! He genuinely cares about his students & their success. He communicated constantly, gave plenty of resources & time to complete work & held multiple Webex meetings to practice & discuss upcoming exams. Beyond grateful I took this class with him. 1000% recommend!
This review is for NCBO for Statistics. Great Professor! Definitely recommend!

This review is for NCBO for Statistics. Our teacher Oscar Rivera Borroto is a great teacher, and his every lecture is very useful and clear to understand. His teaching way, and his behavior is excellent. After the class period if I need help, I can reach out him easily, he solves the problem wright away. Overall, he is the best teacher.
This review is for NCBO for Statistics. Pretty easy to understand his lectures, he's very helpful inside and outside of class. His homework helps boost your grade a lot, and is very encouraging during tests and exams. He goes over practice tests which is the most in my case. With no exaggeration I really do recommend this professor :)!!
I've never had such a good math professor as Mr. Borroto. He is very caring and always makes sure you understand the whole subject. In addition, his classes are pretty simple. Even if you don't understand the subject in classes for some reason, if you do the homework, you will be good!
Prof. RB loves math. He gives the quickest way to solve. He moves fast. It can be a challenge to grasp everything first time. He gives example & asks you to solve on your own. If u take his class, best thing is to review sections ahead so you can make sense of his shortcuts. Participate when he asks. He's one of a kind and wonderful person.
Professor Rivera is caring and understanding. He does go by the material pretty fast, but if you let him know you don't understand he'll retrace his steps and help you understand. Students do practice problems on their own after the first example, just so he knows that they understand. He gives many opportunities to help his students succeed.
The best professor possible!! Hands down he is the best professor I have ever had. He is super caring about students not only about educational but also at a personal level. When going over subject and someone doesn't understand he will slow down re step and teach again until there is understanding. Amazing professor and human being
Professor Rivera-Borroto is a very kind and caring professor. If you're taking the course online he does give out extra credit if you attend and participate in his Webex meetings for exam reviews.He is also very helpful as well as understanding and willing to accommodate anyone if needed. Just make sure to study for the test and quizzes.
People thinks that professors does not think about their students but this professor is different he really is very nice and i am sure you will also like his class
Clear explanations, patient teaching, and genuinely supportive. They make difficult topics easy to understand and always take time to help students succeed. One of the best professors I've ever had!
This review is for Math 0242, the co-requisite course. I can tell Professor Borroto really cares about his students because he ensures we all understand material before he moves on and hes extremely patient. as someone who's not great at math, this is the first math class i've felt safe in to ask questions and get the help I need. highly reccomend!
I think this teacher does a good job for the most part and is especially helpful when he provides his many extra credit opportunities. He is a very patient and lenient grader who tries his best not to stress any students out.
This review is for statictics NCBO which is a prerequisite for statistics 1342. This professor is very caring and he holds webex review sessions which helps a lot and he also has extra credit things to help you pass.
Professor Borroto is kind, engaging, and incredibly helpful. He has a doctorate in math which really shows when going through his lessons. He is honest and genuinely cares so communicate with him if you have problems, he is more than happy to help. Lessons are straightforward and the homework isn't difficult. He teaches you tips and tricks as well!
Lot's of extra credit. Gives out practice tests that are almost identical to the actual test. If you put in any effort you will get an A.
Professor Borroto is an amazing teacher. He is very enthusiastic about math which makes the class much more enjoyable. Professor Borroto makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving on. There are many extra credit opportunities that are without a doubt helpful. The course materials on D2L were very organized and easy to access.
Overall pretty good professor
Professor Rivera is an amazing teacher, he truly cares for his students, always replies to emails right away, and gives you plenty of resources to succeed. He really helped me understand math and statistics in a way I didn't think was possible. I was so nervous taking this class at first, especially taking two six- week courses. He is the BEST!
great communiction, lectures, easy to get in touch with if needed, professor gave all the materials needed to succeed.
This review is for NCBO for College Algebra. Also great communication, effective materials, extensive materials needed to succeed
Professor Rivera is AWEOME! He cares so much about his students and wants everyone to succeed as much as possible in his classes. He responds quickly to emails and won't hesitate to help you. The lessons are straightforward and the homework is not difficult. I'm not the best at math but he helped me so much, I would have not passed without him!
This review is for NCBO for Statistics. Professor Rivera is amazing! He provides great extra credit opportunities and reviews for the exams. Highly recommend.
Professor Borroto is definitely in my list of Top 5 math teachers. He is nice, caring, and compassionate. In our first lecture, I was slightly hesitant on moving forward with him due to his strong accent but, Im glad I stayed. He made math look easy for us. As long as you do the MATLAB assignments and the practice tests, you will get an A.
Professor Borroto is a wonderful Professor. Easy Grader who cares what you get in the course. He's flexible and easy to work with and an inspirational leader in any realm of Mathematics. I Highly recommend you take any of his courses as they are very informative and have tons of outside help opportunities. 10/10 Professor! Will take again!
