Profesor V is caring and gives so many extra credit opportunities. Doesnt make a huge difference but he wants you to be involved with the college becuz networking is his big thing. He makes the lectures easy to understand and post the notes online. i had to drop the class but I plan on taking him again for the winter or spring.
The tests are always on topics the professor goes over in lectures
Great speaker, very helpful.
Don't miss lectures you you will be behind. 3 exams and then a final exam. There is also a project due the day before the final exam which sucked and only added more stress. Homework is through myopenmath and it doesn't align with the work done in class at all. Exams align with reviews and notes taken in class, and you're given cheat sheet for exam
The tests are a lot harder than the notes
The tests are a lot harder than the lectures
He speaks very well and helps students when they need help, only flaw I would say would be that the homework is heavy. He cares a lot for his students in his class and he knows how to teach math very well.
Speaks very well and is very understanding towards students when they need help figuring out a subject. Only complaint is that the homework on myopenmath doesn't really align with what we are learning in class.
One of the best professors I have had in college so far. I was experiencing lots of tech issues in the beginning of the semester, but he was patient and respectful and helped me contact tech support numerous times to get past the issue. He clearly cares deeply about his students and his craft and he is the best math professor you could ask for.
i have to say i like Prof. Oscar a lot, he might be the most patient instructor that i ever met in this college, i don't need to worry about if I will behind in everything, cuz basically he will show you every specific step to help you understand every question efficiently, And the most important thing is, that he treats us very kindly
Enjoyed his class, definitely challenging if you aren't literate in algebra.
Professor V was an amazing professor that was really able to teach. He stuck to his lectures and was ready for any questions or help that people needed. The workload is easy and straightforward.
Professor Villalobos is very understanding and will answer any questions you may have. He allows cheat sheets on his tests which make studying a whole lot easier. Overall he is my favorite math professor of all time.
Professor Villalobos is an amazing teacher, and is very helpful. He makes the lectures very interesting and prepares us well for the exams. I would definitely take again.
Professor Villalobos did a great job of understanding what method would best fit the needs of the class. From my experience, he completely shifted his teaching style from lecture/ notes to applicable practice problems. Beware, his homework has very little to do with the overall course material and it is tough to get good clarification if needed.
He's really good with answering all of the questions I had and was very helpful overall.
Great lectures and helps students 1 on 1.
The amazing professor really engaged with the class and made it feel welcomed, showed lots of enthusiasm and always gave us opportunities for extra credit, like going up to the board and doing problems, Im taking him next semester and im excited for it.
The amazing professor really showed his enthusiasm for the class and always had a great vibe when teaching. He would give you extra credit for participating in class by doing problems on the board and helping you engage with the class too. I highly recommend him and will be taking him next semester again.
He did really good on coving the information, I just wish we spent more time on the information we learned. The information was clear and very easy to pick up once learned, it was just hard to retain the information. Other than that loved this math class, and how if you were confused he would really break it dow and explain it to you.
Professor Villalobos is great! You can tell he's passionate about teaching and would help when needed. He is very engaging with the class and will give extra credit for participating. Take good note and do all the online homework/reviews then you will pass the class.
Very accommodating.
I think Professor Villalobos is an amazing because he teaches the courses very well. He also remained us about homework and exams. He goes through every part of a problem. He gives us good feedback If I had to take his class again I would.
Professor Villalobos wants everyone to understand the topics and not fall behind. Stays after class to answer questions. He is able to connect new topics to old ones. Exam reviews are extremely helpful. Overall great professor.
Happy to be in the class
Happy
Good teacher
i want other students to know he is a very good professor, he always try his best to make us understand the class and what is going on.
Great professor!!! He always try his best to make us to understand the Chapters and give us chance to finish the homework. Take the time to review the exams and questions that we always have, Thank you for everything professor.
Good profesor
Great professor. Shows he really cares and wants to see you succeed.
Professor V is a pretty cool dude who I think teaches math in a comprehensible way. He definitely cares about student success and always ready to help. He gives us plenty of prep time and good material to prep with for the exams. My only issue with this class was the online homework, it became excessive at times.
Professor V was a very good teacher who taught math in a comprehensible way. It's clear that he wants his students to learn and succeed. He'll answer any questions you have no matter how obvious the question is. He an all-around caring and supporting teacher. Praises you when you succeed but also helps when you don't.
Professor V, is an awesome professor. He explains the material well, and if he doesn't he realizes that and makes sure all the tests reflect that. He also always makes himself available online before tests to answer questions.
Lectures covered topics well and lessons were made to be very understandable. Very enthusiastic and allowed for more engagement.
Great Professor and explains lessons well.
Very professional and caring about his students in his class. The lectures were clear and simple to understand, and he always offered help to anyone no matter the circumstance. Homework was fair, and the tests were similar to our review packets which I liked a lot. I would definitely take one of his classes again!
Amazing professor, he makes sure to answer all questions and helps you if you have any trouble with your calculator, I would differently recommend and take him again if I get the chance in the future.
Very genuine and understanding.
This professor knows how to teach math understandably, and has many opportunities for extra credit to bump up your grade. It's important to attend all lectures though to understand the math, and the homework load is not too heavy if you do it consistently. We never had any pop quizzes, but there's an exam about every 3 weeks.
He's very passionate/loves what he does for his work, very caring, and obliging. He's funny and responds to emails quickly. Has a great personality, and a positive outlook on life. Explains himself greatly on how to solve math problems and other topics. Would definitely recommend Oscar Villalobos as a professor.
He's very passionate/loves what he does for his work, very caring, and obliging. He's funny and responds to emails quickly. Has a great personality, and a positive outlook on life. Explains himself perfectly. Would definitely recommend Oscar Villalobos as a professor.
Overall great Professor who is caring, respected, and definitely passionate about his profession. Gives reasonable amount of work. Attendence is key due to the lecture/exam shcedule.
I struggle with math and I am taking Mr. Villalobos algebra class. However he checks in will set time aside in class for a one on one talk with each student. He also understands that I struggle with math because I have spoken to him about my concerns and after every test he grades it and gives me clear feedback. It's a hard class but worth it.
I have had a hard time adjusting to the work load in this class it is a lot especially because I work and am a full time student. Besides that he is a caring teacher and he has been kind and generous enough to give me personal feed back especially after a test he will grade it in front of me which helps with me being anxious for my grade.
Professor Villalobos is really good, he makes concepts so easy to understand half of the preparation for the exams is done in class only and honestly, I didn't feel any exam anxiety because of exam reviews it was more than enough to understand the concepts, I loved this math class and in future I would love to take his other math classes too.
His lectures are engaging, he breaks everything down in a way that just clicks. He's always there to help, his office hours are a game changer. He goes above and beyond to ensure that we have all the support we need to succeed. He's passionate, dedicated, and truly cares about his students' success. Trust me, you won't regret taking his class.
Professor Villalobos is a great professor. If you are struggling, he is more than happy to help. His lectures are interesting, and he breaks everything down to make sure you understand. Overall, he is a caring and respected professor.
Great professor, 10/10 would take again.
He is very passionate about his job and cares about his students. He wants to help the class and make sure everybody succeeds.
Mr. Villalobos is a really good and passionate math professor. Mr. Villalobos was able to teach me the math criteria and concept. I would like to mention that I entered this class with only basic math knowledge and almost no algebra skills, by the end of the class I earned love for math. One thing Mr. Villalobos can work on is his teaching pace.
He's thorough with explaining his math content, he is always ready to answer questions. He offers many extra credit opportunities for his students, I recommend taking his class.
I had a really hard time understanding calc and trig until I took Professor Villalobos's class. He is an amazing teacher, has a really fun way of explaining things and makes sure everyone in class is on track. He always offers extra credit and different ways for us to engage in class to understand the lesson better. He basically changed math for me
He is a very understanding. He teaches the course very fast but he is very well and detailed. it is a lot of work but if you understand the concept and don't procrastinate, you will understand the class.
Expect notes every day and to participate in class but overall, a really nice professor and always up to answer questions and help.
Very helpful professor. Goes over everything when you're still having trouble you can ask and he's willing to help explain it more. Very eager to teach and joyful. Overall a great professor
Class was only easy because of prior algebra knowledge from high school. Always pushed back assignments due to him underestimating how slow he lectures. Which can be a good thing though. Claimed the entire semester the final wasn't cumulative, but a week before the final he said it was. As long as you have prior algebra experience you're fine.
Good thing abt this class is Prof is willing to work with you & answer ur questions. However hw barely matches lectures, it gets tedious teaching yourself how to do 60+ problems. If you have prior algebra experience & good at self-teaching you'll get an A. The final was last minute made cumulative after he specifically said it wasnt in class.
Professor Villalobos is a great professor. He will ask us to discuss math problems in class so that every classmate can know how to solve them! Remember to do discussions and assignments because they are important to your grades. Overall, I recommend to take his course!
Professor Villalobos really cared about his student's education and made sure that everyone had a fair shot in passing his class. He made sure to give many extra credit opportunities, Aswell as to let you know how you are doing in his class after every exam.
I believe Professor Villalobos is fair, make the classroom environment comfortable and he has clear communication, and patience. Well organizational skills, and ability to foster collaborative learning. Where the students can thrive in their mathematical journey. I appreciate new strategies to help us learn.
Hello Everyone, Professor Villalobos is the best math teacher ever. I was never comfortable with math; it has always been my weakest subject for the longest time. Since taking his class, that has changed significantly. He uses a lot of examples for each kind of problem and is very hands-on. Don't be shy to ask questions.
Math has never been my subject, and I've never been good at it, but this class has been the best I have had. He helped me out and made sure everything was taught. Everything that he had taught during a lecture was on the test. I would definitely pick him again if I had to take another class.
He was super nice and down to earth. Great teacher who offers lots of extra credit. Makes very clear what will be on the tests so if you pay attention and show up to class you will do fine.
This class is relatively easy, especially if you can complete the assignments on time and have prior experience with algebra. Mr. Villalobos is very helpful and always willing to further explain a concept or answer any questions you may have.
It was a good class, just it was a lot of homework because I took this class spring intersession and it was not too bad.
Professor Villalobos' Winter course consists of one discussion per week, homework through Pearson, the Midterm Exam, and the Final Exam which are done through Pearson as well. As long as you take your time with the homework and Exam reviews, you should be fine. The asynchronous Winter course does go by fast, but is very manageable.
Honestly a great Professor that responded to all my emails quickly and was ready to help me learn. Gave a decent amount of homework but the way the textbook is formatted it makes it easier to complete. Tests are nothing that he hasn't already shown you in the review or in the assignments. Would take again!
His online math course is super simple, we just use Pearson for the math work. His Midterms are just like the homework and he provides reviews for the tests which helps me prepare. I would definitely take this course again.
He is a good teacher, and I understand that I am taking the class for four weeks online, and that is why it is a little more complicated for me, but it is a little easy to understand.
He is very clear and informative. I would %100 take this course again.
He is very clear and informative. I would %100 take this course again. Pearson textbook was used.
There is a lot of homework and it can get challenging at times but for the most part, i love this class. Math is not my subject but professor is always there to help you. He replies fast and is super good at explaining things. Highly recommend!
One of the best math teachers I have ever had
All in all Oscar's class was fairly easy and straight forward, the class was fairly easy if you are pretty familiar with algebra. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a math credit.
All in all Oscar's class was fairly easy and straight forward, the class was fairly easy if you are pretty familiar with algebra. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a math credit. 10/10
Proffesoor Villalobos is a great teacher. I took his class as a 4 week course and despite it being a heavy workload, it is simple to understand. It is a very fast class but not difficult at all as long as you do the work. The only downside is that the textbook is a bit expensive, but worth it.
Online classes can be difficult because of the lack of communication between the students and the professors. This Professor makes a genuine effort to communicate with the students and cultivate a sense of community and support network for the online class! Would recommend this Professor!
As someone who's always been very bad at math, I highly recommend taking his class! I was able to improve my math very well when I took his class. He doesn't the rush the lessons, he'll go with everyones flow.
Prof: Villalobos He's here to help you understand subject matter and gives enough of time to turn in assignments.
The class is great all the midterm and exam review are amazing and show exactly what is going to be on the exam so nothing is a surprise.
Very well-paced class and easy to keep up. I Didn't feel overburdened by the online assignments despite it being a 1 month class.
This professor is a good professor he really knows the subject and is very passionate in teaching it. I took the course online but I did have him in person before and he was excellent in the lecture and help
Took the accelerated online version of this course. Lots of homework and super fast paced but the professor made it simple to understand his grading/expectations and was accessible/helpful. I would 100% take another class with this professor.
Great professor who teaches the topic with a lot of passion and care. Plenty of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.
It is a very perfect professor if you are a student who need clear teaching but dislike take too long time. He is very efficient!
Very nice teacher.
This professor has been my favorite at SCC so far. He teaches well and gives a fair amount of coursework. He always makes sure everyone is on track in class and you can tell he genuinely cares about his students. He provides extra credit opportunities as well. The chapters go at a good speed, not rushed or too slow.
No doubt would take his class again. Very caring and provides multiple extra credit opportunities. Goes above and beyond to make sure that his students are successful in class and life. Shows up to class with enthusiasm and is open to talk to anytime to help students. Doesn't view his class as a time limit and takes time to answer any question.
Professor Villalobos was a great professor all together. He made math east and walked us through the most difficult problems. H was an inspiration to those wanting to excel in math.
Professor Villalobos was a great inspiration and made teaching math as easy as can be.
Was a great inspiration made math fun and easy
There are many assignments/discussions to do outside of class, but he is very willing to help if you message him outside of class hours. He gives you time in class to do homework incase you need to ask for help, and is kind about it. Definitely not a professor that you would be afraid of.
Great professor! Definitely made math a lot easier for me as someone who always struggled in math. He takes his time to make sure every student is understanding.
Let me be honest: as an international student with a language barrier, I can easily get an A under his excellent teaching skills! You don't need to worry about him expecting you to go through everything independently; he will show you EVERY SINGLE step! There is no way you could fail; if I can make it, you all definitely can!
He is a great professor, really cares about his students. Made math easier for me.
One of the best math professors I've had. His office hours are helpful. Extends office hours during exam weeks and gives a one page cheat sheet for exams.
Truly a great math professor. Always accessible after class or before for office hours. Extends office hours during exam weeks. Cares about your progression with constructive feedback and encouragement after every exam.
you learn a lot during class time and if you miss a class you can miss a lot of work! attendance is mandatory! very nice guy tho
he is a good teacher
Oscar Villalobos is a good teacher
As an international student, I recommend this professor. He speaks Spanish and understands that learning math in English is challenging. He is comprehensive and gives himself as an example. He told us he had failed college algebra twice, which is why he is very thorough with students. I recommend Professor Villalobos; he makes math easy!!!
He work things out with students if needed help, is understandable. Replies faster than other professors I would say.
He was a very understanding professor and he'd reach out. I enjoyed taking his class and would take it again. If you do the homework and quizzes you'll do good. The projects weren't difficult if you did the class work and some sources helped.
Honestly math is not my greatest subject at all but this professor made this math course fun and Mildly easy going. Whenever I had a question about a project or math problem he always responded within hours and was very helpful! Do not hesitate to reach out to him!
He really works with his students, and is readily accessible outside of class. He is kinda a tough grader, but tells you exactly what to expect on Tests and Quizzes. Offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. Attendance is not mandatory, but be warned it's going to be hard to catch up if you miss class. I would definitely recommend.
Does a great job explaining course material during lectures. Very generous with office hours for students who need extra help. Possesses professional experience and aptitude with all learned material and has a clear love for teaching and helping students learn.
The professor is very nice, caring, and understanding. The class is very easy and receiving an A is easy to achieve. There is one homework and one quiz for every week. There is helpful videos in the homework that help with both homework and quizzes.
Replies faster than other professors, very understanding. Nice teacher and gives lots of extra credit opportunities.
Professor is good at explaining new concepts. Participation is an important part of the class. The homework is done online, and the textbook is online.
Explains things well and is clear and concise when giving lectures. I enjoyed being in this class because it was interesting to learn new concepts. Participation is an important aspect in this class. Although there is lots of homework, there are many opprotunities for extra credit. Would take again!
Professor Villalobos, is an amazing professor and I would gladly take him again. I do recommend you come to every lecture and participate as it does matter heavily.
Great professor, make sure to take advantage of all the extra credit he gives!
Professor Villalobos was a great professor. He definitely cares about his students and gives them every single chance to succeed possible.
The homework and the My Open Math is not very user friendly and the assignments are a little all over the place. Other than that he gives you extra credit opportunities and is a fair grader.
Good professor with lots of enthusiasm, would highly recommend taking him.
Professor Villalobos is a great teacher. This was my 3rd time taking this class but never with Professor Villalobos. He explains everything so you understand how to do the work. After taking his class it has made me more interested in statistics and I want to take a statistics class from him. I would highly recommend takeing him a a teacher
It's been a while since taking classes, so id say he's a great teacher, cuz I was able to grasp the concepts based off the class lect. Just show up to class and do the hw and you'll be fine. Hw was more difficult than the actual test, which over prep. you for the tests. Prof. V is very caring, just talk to him and he will help. Thanks prof. V
One of the best professors I have had! Would recommend!
Professor villa lobos was great, I do not enjoy doing math but he made class enjoyable without a huge work load every week to stress me out, he let us complete assignments in class and taught us modern day ways of solving complicated math problems. I would definitely recommend taking his Math105 class.
Oscar is a very helping and caring teacher. He helps you with whatever you are struggling with and is very understanding about stuff! I definitely recommend taking his class it is super chill.
Professor Villalobos is a super friendly, relatable guy. He is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining all that he knows, if you have a question (regarding math), he has an answer. He also offers a lot of help to his students in various ways. If I ever have to take another math course, I'm taking Villalobos.
Professor Villalobos is a friendly, relatable guy, with a good attitude towards teaching. He is excellent at explaining the subject, and if you are still having a hard time all you have to do is ask and he is willing to help. If I ever need to take another math course, I'm choosing Villalobos.
fair, gives plenty of extra credit, lets you have cheat sheets on the exams. is super available for office hours and help.
This professor is amazing. He is always willing to help and be accessible. ANYTIME i needed him he was there. His classes are fun to as he gets you involved in a good way.
Professor Villalobos is hands down the best professor I've ever had. He is incredibly approachable, helpful, and overall a very genuine professor who cares about his students. I always had a very negative perception of math, this class made me feel so much better about the subject, definitely not nearly as intimidating as it used to be.
All I have to say is this. Do you want a good math professor? Oscar Villalobos is your man. I have enjoyed every lecture no matter how confusing the content got, and by the end of the class period, I understood the material very well. 10/10, would take again.
Going into his class, I was nervous about taking a math class after so long, but the way he teaches his class makes learning easy. He explains the process of getting to the answer clearly, and if you have questions, he's glad to go back for students. Take notes. He likes anime, too, so that's awesome. Overall, it was an awesome class and teacher.
He does a great job explaining the course material with the lectures being really helpful, helping you clearly understand the material, and is accessible outside of class. Tells you what to expect for tests allowing you to know what to study for the tests. Overall, a great teacher who actually cares about you learning the material.
Professor Villalobos' lecture has a fast paced, group oriented style. The instructor is kind and always on time. He also makes an effort to get to know his students and responds quickly via canvas. I would recommend this professor to anyone hesitant to take a math class. I spent a lot of time studying.
I researched several professors before choosing Prof. Villalobos. The reviews I read were fairly accurate to my experience. He offered a decent amount of extra credit. I would suggest Professor Villalobos to anyone looking to take a math 140 course. He was patient, informative and happy to educate. He was also very accessible via Canvas.
Professor Villalobos is great! He explains the concepts well and is always open to questions, which makes the content pretty easy to understand. He is also easily accessible outside of class, and his office hours are super helpful, especially when an exam is coming up. Definitely take him if you are intimidated by math, he makes it really easy!
Even as someone who has trouble with math, I found his course pretty easy. His lectures are very informative, and you do a lot of practice in class. His exams are also pretty easy, and he usually tells you what to expect from them. 10/10.
He is a good professor who is patient in answering the questions in class. Don't hesitate to ask questions! Do as much practice before the exam. Do the assignments!
Good professor. He will make sure students understand the lecture; moreover, he extends his office hours before exams which is very helpful! I recommend taking his class.
Prof Villalobos is overall my favorite math prof I have taken at SCC. Although we have a quiz almost every week, it balances out with fair grading and good lectures. If you have any questions, he is always happy to help. There are many opportunities for office hours or extra help. Overall, it makes Calc much more enjoyable and stress-free.
Prof. V does a great job of teaching material, that will help you on HW and prep for tests. He is very professional and understanding of personal stuff should they arise. Its been yearsss since i took any class, and he gives you the tools to suceed in his class. 1. Show up 2. do the hw and extra credit and you'll be fine =)
Professor Villalobos is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He is caring, responds quickly, and understands if personal stuff happens and will help you as a student get back on track. His projects are enjoyable to do and he gives great feedback on those assignments. I would take him again over and over! He really wants you to succeed.
Professor Villalobos is a great math instructor, he does a great job with his lectures and with the overall layout of the class. On top of being a great professor he's a really good guy in general very understanding and caring.
Prof. Villalobos is really caring, and makes an effort to check in even though it is an online class. Being completely honest math 105 is really easy, and I know he teaches way harder courses like stats or something along those lines. This class is really geared towards people who don't really need a strong math for their major, but he still cares!
Super simple class, but he offers a lot of extra credit and is a pretty easy grader. Lots of resources are provided, and he makes an effort to reach out and check in with everyone :)
Professor Villalobos is great in his lectures. Attending his lectures is a must, regardless of whether you are sick. Missing even one class can cause you to fall behind. Although there is a lot of homework, it helps prepare you for exams and quizzes, making it essential. Overall, Professor Villalobos is excellent for Calculus 1.
This is my second course with Professor Villalobos, and he is a great instructor. The class itself is not easy and requires lots of time, but Professor V provides excellent lectures to teach us the material and he thoroughly reviews concepts before each quiz and test to make sure everyone is prepared and knows what to expect.
He is a great teacher who cares for his students
This professor was understanding and great at letting us know if there was a problem. He was on top of the assignments and emails if needed for our help.
Professor Villalobos is a very caring instructor when he shows his students how to succeed in certain subjects and topics. He gives a lot of extra credit and chances for you to succeed in topics you may struggle in. There is a lot of homework which is practice but are long while his short and simple worksheets feel more prepping than the homework.
Professor Villalobos is very caring for the class to understand subjects and gives a lot of extra credit. He also gives a lot of homework which is a lot. And the one thing that helped a lot was the in class work sheets which helped me understand the subjects more than the homework.
he was pretty chill, there was a lot of homework and the online textbook was 80 bucks..
he was pretty chill. the study guide was okay, lots og homewokr
Need to study! But at least you get tons of extra credit
Very caring and passionate teacher. Offers plenty of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Overall amazing professor.
Professor Villalobos was a very good instructor. The material was presented in a clear and understandable way and plenty of in class practice was given so you could ask questions during lecture. Exams were very fair and he would have short one on one meetings after exams to make sure you were on track. Overall a great professor and very fair class.
Professor Villalobos was a great professor, always there to help and cares for his students a lot!
Great Class! All I will say is the format is a little funky. On the one hand, you have to complete rigorous courses on a whole different website, and then we are being asked to log onto Canvas to complete assignments, which makes no sense.
Does this guy hire a review company to write all these reviews?
Professor Villalobos is a caring professor. Will reach out to you if and offer help is you need it. I will definitely take his class again
Professor Villalobos is an excellent professor. I will definitely take his classes in the future.
This is my second class taught by Professor Villalobos and he once again excels at his job. If you need a class that he teaches, drop everything and sign up for Villalobos.
I have taken several math classes and always had issues with this subject. I wish I had this professor for all of my math classes. He is caring, and really wants to help his students succeed. The class itself is difficult, due to the fact that math itself is difficult, however Professor Villalobos does everything he can to ensure you succeed.
Professor Villalobos is a great professor. I have always struggled with math, but his class is navigable and offers resources to learn from. He pays attention to his students. There is no hesitance to reach out to him for help, as he is very open to assisting anyone who is struggling. Would recommend!
He is mostly about just doing the work.
Mr. Villalobos is a really great professor! He provides a ton of resources for students to succeed in his class. In addition, he responds to emails and comments as soon as possible!
As an online class it was expected to be fast paced. Luckily there were many tools and being open book was very helpful for tests. Since it was such a short class having open notes was such a life saver considering all the material that needed to be learned. He does require proof of calculations. A lot of homework, but good class that's realistic.
Time management and self pace is key with this class, however, that is also a benefit to the class and the professor has everything laid out for the students.
Very straight forward instruction and a very supportive teacher! His discussion posts are very interesting and also, he is very helpful and supportive.
It was a 4-5 week course so it was kind of fast paced but his grading is very clear and he is flexible with his late work. DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR:)
He was a very caring person towards his students, making sure we knew that we had him as a support. The material was very clear, it was a straightforward process with a constant routine.
Although I did not communicate much with this professor due to not needing to, he seemed very accessible and had office hours often. His class that I took was also not very difficult and consists only of weekly assignments online.
Professor Villalobos was a great professor to have online! He was very understanding and helpful when it came to explaining material. He was also willing to set up zoom calls and work with one another to be able to get the best grade possible. Definitely recommend taking class with Professor Villalobos!
Professor Villalobos is so helpful and honestly his course really helps you out with any trouble you may have with math. Peer communication is also very accessible in this course which is great. He is super responsive and honestly just wants you to pass. I 100% would recommend!
Proffesor Villalobos is a great and caring proffesor. This was my third attempt to pass and I was nervous, but his homework assignments and lecture notes were very helpful. One thing I also liked about Proffesor Villalobos class was that he gives midterm and final reviews that look just like the exam. It helps you prepare to do well on your exam.
This was my first college class and Mr. V made it extremely enjoyable. He replies to emails quickly and is a very understanding person. Would definitely take a class of his again
He's a good professor in that he sets clear expectations, gives ample time to complete assignments and exams, and is easy to reach outside of the class. Even though this class was online, if I needed help with a question, he was always able to respond quickly, usually within a day.
I've had the pleasure of taking Mr. Villalobos this summer and it was smoother than I expected! A lot of the work needs to be done by yourself but he's available if needed. Would def take him again.
While fast-paced, Professor Villalobos' MATH171 class is well-structured with helpful resources like lecture notes and exam reviews. The workload is manageable, and Unstuck study proved to be a useful tool for study prep alongside the textbook.
I barely passed in High School math and he is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. He cares so much about his students and wants us to succeed. He explains topics well and provides the notes for you. He takes time to help you individually if you struggle. AMAZING PERSON AND EVEN BETTER PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!
Professor Villalobos is an excellent professor who cares about his students and really wants them to succeed in the class. He always helps those in need and makes an effort to communicate with each student in his class. I've taken him for both MATH180 and MATH185 and I learned a lot from what he taught. He offers many opportunities of extra credit.
This Professor is relatively easy, with three exams and a final, with eight quizzes and eight homework sets. However, the exams and final were timed, and the exam students were required to submit scanned documents of their scratch work for the exams.
He has many office hours and is very helpful. He also makes sure that everyone is on the same path. His tests are similar to his notes, making studying a lot easier. He is one of the best math teachers, too.
Professor Villalobos was an amazing professor for MATH 219. He made sure everyone was on the right track and was more than happy to answer any questions you may have. He is accessible after class and during office hours and replies pretty quickly to messages outside of class. I would definitely take it again.
Wow. What a great professor. I have struggled with math classes previously and have usually had a love-hate relationship with math. After taking MATH 180, aka Calculus 1 with Professor Villalobos, I have a newfound passion for math. I legitimately enjoyed learning in this class. My advice is to take advantage of office hours as much as possible.
Professor Villalobos is an amazing calculus professor. After having a love-hate relationship with math my whole life, Professor Villalobos has changed that for me. I really enjoyed learning in his MATH 180, aka Calculus 1 class. My advice to do well in this class is do practice problems, attend office hours, and try to collaborate with classmates.
I used to dislike math before taking his class, but now I really enjoy it. He's one of the most passionate and outstanding professors I've had at SCC. It's clear he genuinely loves teaching. His exams closely follow the lectures, and he even allows a cheat sheet during tests. I'd definitely take his class again if I had the chance.
Loved professor Villalobos! everything is project based so no quizzes or exams, and he allows you to work in groups. Homework is light and he is very flexible when life happens as long as you communicate with him, you will absolutely not regret taking him.
Great professor overall no complaints would take again ]
Very good professor, he always tries his best to help you. He makes the material very easy to understand. This class consists of four projects, and you can work either by yourself or with a partner. There is homework every few weeks, but as long you show up to class and take notes you will be okay. Extra credit is offered throughout the semester!
After taking Prof. V for both Calc 1 & 2, I can confidently say he is the GOAT. He assigns a lot of HW and quizzes which can stack up quickly if you're not on top of the work. He does rush some topics every now and then but if you study and take good notes you'll be fine. He brings great energy everyday and cares a lot about your success.
