Funniest professor I've had. Really knows how to connect with the students. Lectures are recommended, everything mentioned is important. You need to work for your grade, but he's really good at teaching and you feel very encouraged all throughout the course. No text book, no PowerPoints, the guy teaches traditionally with lots of interaction.

He is my favorite professor at MDC. If you are taking any chemistry take him! 3 tests and a final, drops lowest and gives extra credit if you go to PLTL. He tells you what you can expect on the test. Not an easy class but he makes it easier by the way he explains it. Hated chemistry before, like it now because of him. Thank you Prof. Garcia!

Garcia is an excellent professor. I never thought I could take a chem class an actually enjoy it. This man is gifted. If you pay attention in class you will learn whether you care or not for the subject. His class is fun, he is patient, he cares for you. Take notes, test are based on them. If you don't understand, ask. he truly wants you to learn.

Professor Garcia is the best professor you can have. I took chem1046 twice and he honestly helped me understand the concept of chm1046. His lectures are amazing and he's always cracking funny jokes. Everything he writes on the board will be on the test. and take advantage of the PLTL

There's no hw just study his notes from day 1 and get ready for a sweet A. 3 exams, drop the lowest grade, a final, and give extra credit that helps tremendously.

His classes are not mandatory but are 100% recommended to attend and take notes if you want to learn his test are very similar to the notes.

Best professor at Miami Dade College. Truly hilarious and super informative lecture. He made me love chemistry and I had the honor to take him for 3 chemistry classes which I pass with B and above. If you failed it's because you didn't study. Extra credit opportunities and drops the lowest exam. Labs were super fun with him. He's the best.

Best ORGO professor you can take at MDC. Teaches great and all lectures were uploaded online. 3 Tests (dropped the lowest) and 1 Final w/ multiple EC opportunities. His exams were NOT hard if you attended PLTL and practiced the material. Only cons were his exam formats (grammatical errors) and rude LAs who would answer immediately for students.

Many people love him because he has never shown himself to be a bad person, but personally, he gives me a bad vibe since he treats you with superiority and disgusting sarcasm.
