The best professor I've had. Lectures follow text, quizzes follow lecture and text, tests follow quizzes. Always available for tutoring, help, etc.
this guy is a good teacher take it from a dumb ass i really suck a math and i did good in hs class
Very easy teacher. Just do your home work and attend class everyday and you'll get an A. Does not give you any trick problems. all the quizzes and exams are straight forward. No Bs. Good teacher.
An excellent instructor who wants you to learn and pass. Ensures that you learn the material by example. Attend class, do the homework (minimal), take notes straight from the board... An A guaranteed. Go to class really makes a difference. He'll see you trying and give partial credit.
He moves at a slower pace so it is easier to understand
this guy is absolutely the easiest ever! i dropped this class @ Texas A&M but i took it w/Gomez in the summer & he literally spoon feeds the material to you!sooo incredibly easy!if you dont understand ask for help & he's willing to give it & you'll have fun w/him!i had him @ 8AM but he still made class fun & easy & let us out an hour early EVERYDAY
Made an A for the semester! Very easy teacher, he repeats everything about 5 times. Will stay after class to help you. Gives you guides to go by, awesome teacher.
This guys pretty funny cracks many jokes in class. Class is not a breeze you do have to put some effort into it, but there no reason not to getn an a or b.
Funny! And difficult, but if you really put effort into the class, you'll pass! He made trig and precal so much easier than it should have been! Worth it!
Very good teacher, but my dumb friend failed his class.
teaches his class like its high school and talks to his students like 10 year olds. doesnt explain things well at all and then expects homework to be done by the end of the class. VERY bad teaching style in my opinion and should be avoided if possible
Excellent teacher! Gives a quiz begining each class which helps you to know the material better for the tests. Tests are the same format as the quizzes. Do your homework, attend all classes, be on time and you will pass with flying colors! TAKE HIM if you want to learn math.
This guy is a smart ass and does not like students at all; however, his style of teaching is probably one of the best that I have ever seen. I would highly recommend taking him. My sumb friend even made an A. Out of 30 students in the class 22 made an A. If you can't make an A in that class then switch your major.
...really don't think this guy likes teaching or students at all. not very helpful, but tests are just like quizzes and HM. just attend class, you'll pass w A or B
Very easy. Gives a quizz everyday before he starts teaching. So, make sure you show up on time. He's very clear, and you can ask him everything. He gives a lot of reviews, which is really good. Highly recommend him.
this man is smug. one time in class he farted and bragged about how great it smelt and how our farts couldn't compete with his. overall, he has room to talk......and his teaching style is average.
A great teacher for Finite as well as Business Calculus. Very well organized! He does not teach from the book but you need it for HMWK problems. A quiz is given @ the begining of every class and is similar to the exams. Do well on the hmwks, quizzes and reviews, you'll pass the exams. TAKE HIM!
I took both Finite Math/Calculus over the summer w/him b/c he's a really good professor. Sort of crazy and *happy* but really anal when it comes to his class. He makes it easy to understand but if you don't, watch out, he'll make fun of your slowness. He went off twice... but I guess it was called 4. Rude @ times but it's worth it in the end.
not a good teacher
The worse math teacher ever ! Open you eyes !
He is very bad ! Arrogant and mean... Just a bad teacher.
Very bad teacher...
I Don't recomend him at all! He hates students.
He is mean and never shows up to class.
HE is a very good teacher. He is easy to understand. sometimes he can be mean but who cares. aslong as your making A in the class. Which you will.if you do all the quizes and his reviews are just like the test. He is an awesome teacher
He is definitely not the nicest guy but he gets down to the point when it comes to teaching. This is the second semster I have had him. I got an A in both classes. Quizes every period but at least you will know what to expect. Tests are just like the reviews. easy A
I had him this semester and had an A but did not like him. He is mean and i am not used to be treated that way. Specially when i am paying so much money. May be an easy teacher but as useless as it can be.
Professor Gomez is an okay instructor, credit if I had devoted more time towards this class since I was taking 5 classes last semester I would have made a better grade. Quizzes are hard, but the exams are straight forward and our similar to the practice test he gives. Do the homework and reviews and you will get a descent grade.
he is as useless as a human can be. He is rude and likes to make students fell bad (maybe to fell good). I had an A but hate him.
he is crazy...
I took Gomez for Finite and Calculus and was suprised at what he was able to make me comprehend. Most of the people who do poor in his class are lazy and do not attend class regularly. If you are a serious student wanting to learn then this is th eprof for you. Especially if you struggle in Math because he will make you understand.
Trigonometry was a blast in this prof's class. He may be rude and never open his eyes but he was hillarious. He would say random jokes in the middle of a problem. Despite all of this, he was an exceptional teacher. He knows what he is doing so you just have to put your part into it. It is college...so yes you have to study at times. Igot an easy
He is arrogant and hates answering students questions, and when you do ask a question he makes you feel like your stupid. Don't take him
He was a great prof. I started out hating him, but as I worked harder, asked more questions, and got to know him, I had a gr8 time in his class. if you don't want to work hard, don't take his class. If you want to work hard. get a good grade, and LEARN your stuff, take him. You will be glad you did!
Wow! Dr. Gomez may be my best math teacher yet. If you're interested in learning, not afraid to do your work and prepare for class, seek him out. His performance was so good in Precal that I took him for CAL1 the very next term. I'm confident in the preparation he gave me for CAL2. Anyone upset over his reality based comments needs to man up.
With good attendance and work on my part I received an A in both Precal and CAL1 in his class. He's really good at teaching complicated concepts quickly. His explanations are so much better than the book. He is sometimes annoyed by people who don't prepare for class. His tests are very similar to the review and the problems on the quiz. 5 star
great teacher!!! a little grumpy at times, but in a funny way =) I am taking another class with him in the coming semester since I liked him that much!!!
good teacher - if you want a quiz on a daily basis and a lot of extra work - take him. he makes students respect the class - for ex: if ur cell phone goes off - you are asked to leave the class and not return til next class. Would not take him again - way to much work for math
he lacks in the personality department but is the best math professor i've had. his methods of explaining were very good. as long as you are willing to do the work, you should find him very fair.
THE BEST MATH TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!!! He is a bit grouchy but the class is what is important and he can teach. Finite is not easy but home work is not mandatory. Easy A!!
Mr. Gomez is a very good teacher. Best math teacher ever!!! The way he teaches is so clean and understandable. He gives quizzes that help you study and get ready for the tests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!!
This was a very difficult class. You have daily quizzes and 4 test. The tests were very difficult and tricky.
bad attitude, rude
Probably the best math professor I have ever had! He made Pre- cal and Cal 1 so understandable I ended up with an A in both. LOTS of work though, homework and quizzes daily but you will definitely know your stuff!
He prepares students for the final exam by giving lots of quizes and worksheets. He is the best math teacher for cal 1. At the end i had an A.
THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER... HE DOESN'T KNOW THE MEANING OF RESPECT. HE IS RUDE TO THE STUDENTS, HE EMBARRASES YOU IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS AND MAKE FEEL LIKE STUPID IF YOU ASK QUESTIONS. DON'T EVER TAKE HIM. MY CLASSMATES HATE HIM TOO.
He is a good teacher but is rude and disrespectful. He looks like he's high every day
really a terrible class, worst prof i have ever had. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!
bad professor. period.
he thinks he is a gift from god. his favorite thing to say was "i dont give a rats ass..." very unprofessional
worst prof i have ver had
Comment on his fav phrase,"I don't give a rats ass" is so true LOL He does look a bit sleepy but he is a great teacher. Material was very clear, yes quizzes every day but you can use your notes and book plus help from classmates! It all prepares you for tests, gives reviews that are exactly like tests!Had A average all semester! Easy class!Take him
Can have a difficult personality during class. Be prepared to act professional during class. TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF [or be prepared to leave -even if it's the final exam]. Great at teaching material. Take notes and see him during office hours if you have questions.
very recommendable. He is hard, but if homework and quizes are done right you'l get points for them. he gives extracredits for all 4 exams except for the final. If you are lazy, dont take him. He is extremely helpful and doesnt like to be interupted by cellphones at all.
not sure what everyone was talking about, i was scared of taking him due to all the comments but i took him summer 1 2010 and SUPER EASY TEACHER. SERIOUSLY. NOT HARD AT ALL, TESTS REVIEWS JUST LIKE TEST AND WORKSHEETS HELP. SUPER EASYYYYYYY. WOULD SO TAKE HIM AGAIN. A AVERGAE THE WHOLE SEMSTER.
He is the best math teacher I have ever had. He explains everything and makes you practice so you are ready for the exams. I took him for both finite and calculus.
Great teacher. His method is outstanding. You get point for hmwrk. qz's and mathlab and test. You really have to be a moron not to pass his class. He is very helpful. Take him! And you will really learn math and pass.
To Pass, you have to be fast. What I mean is that you have to be fact-paced on his quizzes and tests. If you are too slow, you probably not going to get a B or higher or possibly fail. Make sure you do your homework and practice the problems to get faster. I was a slow-paced worker and I made a C on his pre-cal class.
Honestly, he has been the best math teacher i have taken at hcc. He will make you understand the material by giving you lots of practice. i made an A. Ask questions and he will help you! he may seem a little intimidating at first but he is cool. Just make sure your phone does not go off cause he will kick you out. If you want to learn take him!
Gives you plenty of practice. Exam reviews are harder than the actual tests. Try and make it to all exams because the comprehensive final is somewhat challenging. Will be taking him for Calculus with Apps if that further answers any questions.
He is a great teacher, but can be rude and will say whats on his mind. He gives quizzes before every class and they are very helpful. His tests are somewhat easy if you do the mathlab and book homework. For those who do not like math, he is probably not the teacher for you because he will make you feel like an idiot.
He is a very good teacher! Highly recommend!! VERY EASY!! Just attend class and write down the notes and you will do awsome! PASSED WITH AN A+. Got above a 100 on each of the exams. Extra credit is awsome too. YOU WILL NOT REGRET! he is funny too.
I love this professor. Extremely easy professor. His lecture is so clear. Hw gives quizzes everyday before the class. I took his class in summer and I get A. Trust me. Take him!!
Worst teacher I have ever taken I've never felt the need to rate any professor until now. He is extremely rude and not helpful he will male u feel so belittled if u dare ask him a question u can only miss 2 classes he called us jackasses and basically said we have to choose between our family or school that you can't do both extremely discouraging
Bad reviews come from those who miss class and expect to be spoon fed. He won't. Lets you decide whats important to you. Works out problems on the board, gives lots of opportunities for grades (online HW, ex crdt, quizzes) Reviews are exactly like tests. GREAT TEACHER! Don't skip & its an easy A! He is blunt which can sound rude. Kinda funny guy.
I took his Finite and Business Calculus class. 40% of grade is IN CLASS QUIZES! so easy, go to class= pass class. Got A's on both of his classes. I loved his class, he is a traditional professor and sometimes thats a good thing, he knows what he is talking about. He gives extra credit. Would recommend always to anyone!
Will dimiss u if ur cell goes off. Lectures are clear. Quiz everyday, this help force u to review ur note and do hw. Tests are same as review. Will go over question if u ask him. Just be professional in his class
EVERY DAY quizzes,Extra Credits, Old school, Easy A
Every day open books quizzes.Extra credit. Old school method of teaching. Easy A.
clear lecturesand in class assignments force review. extra credit is available.thats it. go to class, pay atention, do the online HW and study for tests you will succeed. dry sense of humor, pansies need not apply.
Took Algebra and rocked it...was worried though. Same comment as others, show up, listen, do homework, get an A.
Gomez is brash, & comes off rude. His grading system was 1/3 of grade each on exams, wksheets, final. There are wksheets every class which help you prep. He does a good # of examples on the board and will work out a hw problem. He also puts up past grading keys on the web. Its a good class because he explains very well. Also, turn your cell off.
Excellent professor. Great teacher.
Different way of teaching, but at the end of day you will learn a lot ! Great teacher !
Take him!! take the quiz, do the test then you will be fine! not much HW, almost all in class. its easy A
Old school teachers that teaches. Quiz every class, 40% of grade. Gives extra credit for tests. The reviews are the test. TURN OFF CELL PHONE. Good teacher to take.
This is one of the best math teacher ever at HCC. If you want to learn about math take him... Quizzes each day which will prepare you for the exams. There is no way for you to fall this class if you do his assignments. Easy, got an A+
Gomez can be hard and challenging but after all this is college... anyone that is looking for an easy A do not need to be in this class. This class is for people who want to learn. Grading wise its a bit different because his quizzes are worth almost half the whole grade. Great teacher would definitely take him again.
This guy is da-man! He is old school and tells it like it is. Those who usually float by get smashed (though its easy). He is VERY organized and has the quiz handed out right on the minute every day.. I got my overall grade a few hours after the final!! OVERALL no BS, just pay attention and read. Leave your phone in the car BTW; you won't need it.
This Professor is absolutely superb! You don't need the textbook for finite math and you have homework online that is due before each test. The homeworks are super easy. Quizzes daily but easy. Very understanding explains so well. Tests are exactly like the reviews. I will be taking him again.
I absolutely love him. I've taken him twice and would have taken him for my next two classes if he was teaching the next one this semester. He is sarcastic so can seem rude but it's funny if you take a step back and understand he's joking. A quiz everyday helps keep info fresh and grade high. No need to buy the book unless you really want it.
Took him for Precal and Cal I during summer I and II. He was great, wish he taught the rest of the calculus classes because I would take him again. If you fail it's because you were lazy and didn't study/do the homework given/extra credit. So many chances to get an A!
I read some of his negative comments and have to say that people who find him rude are really misinterpreting his sarcasm. He has that old man humor, very sarcastic. I found it entertaining. He gives you extra credit on all tests. Daily quizzes which sound daunting but really help to keep the grade up. Do the work and you'll get a good grade!
Prof Pete is awesome! at first he didn't seem very approachable, but as I got used to him, he is the BEST! He makes his expectations very clear. Book wasn't needed, 4 tests which are similar to reviews, and LOTS of extra credit. Overall awesome prof. oh and he is Funny in a weird way
He is an amazing professor! I think he's hilarious and has a sarcastic sense of humor. Very clear on class work. Quizzes everyday (40% of your grade!-but drops 4). Textbook not needed. Very good teacher! I'm taking him again!
Took him for a mini. That might be why he made it easy. 3 exams, worksheets each class, MyMathLab, and a final - all 4 categories worth 25%. No assignments required from the book. All WS, HW, and exams had only a few questions so nothing took a long time. He's an easy going guy.
If you have a handle on mathematics you should be fine, but if you need help, he is not for you. He is jaded. Don't ask questions in class or he will humiliate you. don't go to his office for help because he acts like you are only bothering him. HCC needs to find a new professor. He could care less if you pass or fail.
sometimes doesn't explain what hes doing.
he's very funny and it makes you look forward to going to his class.
He's not the nicest person, but I was able to follow along easily and averaged a 100. There are quizzes every class that are worth more than the test grades. At first this freaked me out, but it turned out for the best because the material was still fresh on my mind.
Do your self a HUGE favor. DO NOT, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I don't to make an issue but this professor lacks clarity when teaching, Lacks enthusiasm when teaching. His tone of voice drags when he is teaching. He will not stop to explain the concepts. He just walk in and starts doing problems with out explaining the concept. DO NOT TAKE HIM
Professor Gomez is your run of the mill math teacher... Show up, study, get a decent grade... Lots and lots of quizzes, like almost everyday. Fairly tough grader.
DO NOT TAKE HIM. YOU WILL BE MISERABLE IN HIS CLASS
I do not suggest this teacher..
Very dry sense of humor so if you don't get by sarcasm, don't take him. He is to the point in lectures. Explains the concept, 3-6 examples, done. There is a quiz every class covering the concept from the class before so you have to be there. The reviews are perfect for test prep. MyMathLab extra credit. Not my fave but he gets the job done.
Gomez was a great professor. He is very predictable - class starts with a quiz over what you learned in the previous lecture and then lectures the rest of the time. If you take good notes (i.e. - what he writes on the board and then what he says verbally) and study them before class, you can pass!!
He is a very good professor, I took him for Calculus & Finite. Class is mandatory, he gives good notes everyday & quizzes daily to help you remember what you learned the day before. Reviews are identical to the tests. Gives extra credit. He does however get straight to the point with his lectures & has a dry sense of humor. Practice & you'll pass!
He's dry & strict about the no phone policy, so don't even try! He's knowledgeable, but skips some "obvious" steps during lectures. I usually had to go home & review everything on my own to figure them out & truly learn how to do everything. You're better off not asking him questions, but if you really need to, be prepared to feel stupid! LOL
The first time I took MATH 1324, I had to drop it because I was failing. so this was technically my second time taking the course and honestly this is the easiest math class I have ever taken. I am bad at math, but ended up with a 103 average in his class. All you have to do to get an A is: show up to class and pay attention and do your online hmwk
I took this class in the June. This class is all about showing up and paying attention. I easily got over a 100 on every test. Study for maybe 20 minutes each night and you're guaranteed an A. Never skip class, people who do get so behind! I would definitely take another class from him. Basically if you're responsible and do your work it's an easyA
His tone his entire lecture is so gloomy. No enthusiam at all as if he never cares for the math subject and is only teaching by force. Attendance is mandatory though. The guy runs dry jokes all day :(
This is the best professor i have ever had. he teaches everything so simply and makes all the topics very understandable. He gave us a quiz at the beginning of every class which made it easy to remember the information he taught. There is a lot of extra credit also for the tests. as long as you take notes and pay attention youll be fine!
Okay so you get a quiz EVERY SINGLE DAY of what you leaned the previous class. You can not skip class. I deserved an A but i never had any time to finish my quizzes so i recieved a "B" the hw is pretty easy and the test are exactly like the review which are helpful and he gives up to 10 points extra credit on the exams. I would reccomend i guess
Calculus in itself is a tough subject, he did a good job of making it easier to understand. Make sure you don't skip a class! Quizzes every class (drops the lowest 4), 5 exams, and some class periods are spent doing worksheets. Lots of material to grade which is good, and he gives you the graded work the next class period. HW and textbook online.
Math usually isn't my strongest subject, but I performed well in his class. As others explained, he has a dark sense of humor, if you can't handle sarcasm or honesty, then he's not for you. This class is for business majors and I can see how the scenarios/word problems correlate to real life problems. Don't miss class, and take notes.
Professor Gomez is an excellent teacher , if you work hard and ask him questions there is no way you can't make an A in his class. The exams are open ended so even if you answer a question partially right he'll give you points for it. I took the winter mini session & loved it. He gives extra credit and work sheets daily to help you out!
He is a great professor. Probably one of the two best math teachers I've ever had! He has a very thick accent, so it takes some getting used to. But his lectures are clear and he drops the 4 lowest quiz grades. TONS of homework, but its super short and doable. His tests and reviews are very similar. Definitely do those. He offers exam extra credit.
If you do the work, show up, take your quizzes and study there's no reason for you not to get an "A." Make sure you arrive on time because he does give you a quiz everyday of what you learned the previous class. He gives reviews for the exam, they count for a grade, and he will also give you the answer key for the quizzes/reviews.
Overall, Prof Gomez is a good professor if you like having someone stand in front of the board and thoroughly explain each problem. However, he is a strict grader. There are quizzes every morning and if you miss more than three they start counting as zeros. I missed the last week and it dropped my overall grade to an 89.1. He also won't bump grades
everyday you will have a quiz, he drops 4 of the lowest quizzes, not many home work to do. easy tests only bad thing is that he gives quizzes every day.
Prof Gomez is very strict and to the point! Explains well, sometime he speaks too fast, but the good part he follows with examples written on the board. Do your homework, practice home if you are not a "natural" in math 4 more than passing grade, review your notes + book, be on time in class for the quizzes. He wants u to pass but u must want it!
He doesn't check for understanding so if you have questions, you need to speak up. Doesn't return phone calls or emails. The material was pretty simple though. I guess what he's doing worked, since most of us got good grades in the class.
I made an A when I took him for 'Trigonometry' last semester ,& made a B when I took him for 'Precalculus' this semester. He's a great professor because he explains clearly and covers all the sections in class. All his quizzes and exams are open ended questions. Just study for the quizzes and the semester will be a piece of cake.
Take him if U want an easy A or B! The course content itself was very easy. For the summer semester he gave a quiz each day, so make sure you never skip class. His quizzes & exams are VERY straightforward, what he lectures in class is what you'll find on the tests except w/ different numbers, no hidden or tricky questions. Homework is on MyMathlab
Firs things first, expect a Debbie Downer, EVERY DAY OF CLASS. Constantly refers to class as "Higher Education at HCC" and laughs, it's quite discouraging. He uses foul language and tells you to "Get your ass out class" if he sees a cellphone on your desk. All you will hear is negativity. Desperately needs help. Hopefully HCC helps him seek it.
He makes the content clearly understandable and straight forward, which is how I like my math classes instructed. The only thing is you must be present for class because he gives a quiz at the beginning each time.
He's a good teacher in concerns to course content. He's very clear about what is expected, and what you need to know for tests and exams. You will have a quiz everyday except on days of exams. This goes in your favor, quizzes aren't hard if you pay attention. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE TEXTBOOK! all you need is the online access code.
Horrible. Not able to ask questions with out giving a bad comment.
Great class, great professor. He is tough though. You'll have a quiz every single class. And he gives 5 major tests during the semester. Lots of homework. If you go to class, do the homework, and get decent grades you'll be REALLY fine in this class. But don't ever have your phone out or let it ring, he'll kick you out immediately.
Mr. Gomez is a phenomenal teacher. Not the nicest person, but an absolutely fantastic teacher. He is very methodical and every day plays out exactly the same way. You take a quiz over the material from two classes ago. He grades the quiz from last class. You go over the material on the next quiz. He then lectures on new material. Repeat.
The absolute best Math teacher I have ever had. He will walk you through every detail so you fully understand. Just don't be on your phone, he will make you leave and give a 0 for the day.
Basically if you go to class and do your homework, you will pass. You have a quiz everyday about the stuff you learned the previous day. All of your quizzes are exactly like his lecture problems but with different numbers. All of your tests are exactly like the quizzes.
There is a quiz every class, from materials of two classes before. It forces you to study, he is honestly the best teacher I have ever had. I have always struggled with math. He has a dry humor, which I found funny. He will explain if you speak up. Do not need textbook, just access code for mymathlab.
Professor Gomez, how can I start. He is an amazing teacher. He makes class so interesting that its a pleasure to come to in without hesitation. He explained the material he teaches and makes it fun and you understand it, if you don't he finds a way and he don't give up until you understand the problem. He is the teacher to take for stat.
the most very clear cut lectures ive ever had in my college experience. quizzes are almost every meeting but it helps you study for the exam. this class is easy to ace if you come everyday! his expectations of no phone helps u focus on his lectures. not to mention he sounds like forrest gump and is hilarious!
If you want a good math teacher, he is the one. His homework that he assigns is due before a test. His test is open-response, but if you pay attention with his lectures, you would be ok. Don't miss class, you have a quiz before every class. He sometimes mumbles an insult, but it's funny to me.
Prof. Gomez teaches very straight forward. He does everything step by step. Make sure you attend class, if you miss a day... you miss a whole section and a quiz. Make sure phones are completely silent. If it rings in class, he will ask you to leave.
Great math teacher. Explains everything as easiest as possible. If you miss a class, you miss that whole lecture. Theres work after every class from the previous lecture you had. Tests are not multiple choice, so STUDY! Make sure your phone is shut off or he will ask you to leave the class.
His level of knowledge in math is very high. He might be little be rude with students that don't pay attention or are on the phone. However, if you want to learn step by step, he is the one. Don't miss any class because you would be lost!
I'm actually in math class to learn math. I enjoy math, that being said, I could have saved myself a lot of time and money by just buying the book and reading it. His "teaching" consists of reading the book and insulting students daily. This is a great example of someone who should just stop doing what they obviously have no passion for.
This professor makes things simple and clear, tests and exam base on his lecture and examples, no book needed. Do his homework, he won't except any late hw. He's a hard grader, minor mistakes means points taking off. I've made lots of 100 before, but out of 4 test and the final exam, I didn't get one. He's great to learn from, he makes trig. simple
This guy doesn't know how to teach! Can not believe why he can be a teacher in college!
You have to be ready to work in his class. He is straight forward and has a clear schedule of the quizzes and test dates. Warning that there is a quiz at the beginning of every class but they test are the same just different numbers(HELPS STUDY). DONT FORGET TO SILENCE PHONES. If he hears it he will make you leave. Has dry humor but i didnt mind it
Gomez is a good teach, so long as you keep on top of notes and lectures. I took plane trig. The biggest downfall is his daily quizzes and his bluntness that maybe rude at times. His character make it seem that questions and commentary may not be welcomed. Long story short, easy class if you do you full part as a student. Attend. Take Notes. Study.
Is not a bad professor, yet you cannot communicate any difference with him. He always is right and does not hear explanations. He don't care about students, so don expect feedback from him. The tests not always have the same level of difficulty from class exercises , neither the level of the quizzes. Do not respect students.
He 's excellent at explaining complicated problems in a simple, understandable, way. This is the first time I've ever understood Algebra and I give him credit for that. You do have to work hard to make an A but if you're really trying to learn the subject, I recommend his class.
Do your best to avoid this professor.
class was not difficult but Gomez is by far the worst tempered and mannered teacher i have ever had. avoid his class and do not waste your time because he will certainly waste yours with his smart remarks and refusal to answer your questions! RUDE and the exact opposite of what a teacher is supposed to be!
Your work has to be done his way or you fail. Even if you get the same answer, its wrong.
There is a quiz everyday which isn't too bad but he's very strict and unhelpful. He's also really rude and unpleasant to be around. If you work through the mymathlab assignments, you should do fine. He's still a really bad professor and a really bad person.
I liked Professor Gomez. He was clear on the course outline and stuck to it. If you miss class you will fail as there are quizzes each class. There is a lot of online homework for this class that you need a code for. He explains everything very clearly and wanted his students to pass. JUST KEEP YOUR PHONES OFF and you will be fine.
Let me begin by saying that math is not one of my strong subjects. However, Mr. Gomez is an awesome professor and now I actually enjoy working Trigonometry problems. Contrary to other professors that just hand you an A and move you on, Professor Gomez really makes sure that you understand the material so that you can succeed in advanced courses.
Professor Gomez is able to explain Trig. A little tempered but he is just doing his job. Just try to show up to every class and you will be fine. STUDY hard because there are quizzes every class period. Most of the chapters are easy but it gets a little tougher. I go to the math lab for extra help. No phones allowed or he will kick you out.
I took Gomez for Intermediate algebra. Clear speaker, good handwriting, answers questions, gives partial credit, gives good feedback. He came in everyday with a list of techniques to teach and some problems to run through, then we got out at least 20 min early every day. MyMathLab for homework. 4 tests and a final. Absolutely no phones aloud.
Really straight forward professor, very good teaching skills. Be careful with your phone don't let him catch you using it or you done for the day. But overall really good professor I 100% recommend him, very good teaching skills, I never knew that math was that easy with him.
If anyone takes his class &doesn't pass it means that u were never mean to learn math in ur life. This professor explains in a way that anyone can understand. He explains as if u are a child. To fail his class requires one to be extremely dense. He is not kind or caring but his job is to teach and he is great at that. I suck @math & still got an A.
His class is very easy if you show up and look over your notes at least once. He is a very good, straightforward teacher. He doesn't hand out A's, but it is not hard to get. We have quizzes every day in this class, but he drops the lowest 4. If you miss a class, you fall way too far behind to catch up without extra help. Perfect amount of homework.
If you struggle with math in the slightest please do NOT take this man! He is extremely rude to his students. Tells students that he doesn't care how they do, that he already has his tenure. He also uses profanity and cusses during class. Pop quizzes every single class. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!
Professor Gomez is extremely rude to his students. I didn't enjoy his monotone lectures or his teaching style whatsoever. He is by far one of the worst professors I've had at HCC.
Pop quizzes every single class. I ended up passing (barely). Wouldn't recommend this professor.
His style of teaching was alright. But I didn't like his overall attitude, he would curse and say things like 'I don't give a rats a$$' how you do in my class. It was weird, I made a B in the class, but it was TOUGH WORK! Many students failed the class.
I took Professor Gomez online class and he was AWFUL!! I sent so many emails to him that went completely unanswered. Not responsive to online students WHATSOEVER!!!! Stay away from this man!
Makes math super easy, you get a quiz at the start of every class so be prepared to review the last class' material, try not to skip class. He gives out exam reviews which is the same as the actual exam so easy A. It's like getting taught math by a mad man but he makes it extremely easy, NEVER use your phone during lectures, he's very sassy.
I admire his style of teaching. I was nervous about this class but he explains the content thoroughly. The workload is significant but it helps your average in the long run. There are quizzes & homework practically everyday. 6 exams. If you access his previous content through the learning web youll be fine. Final review was EXACTLY like final.
Quiz before class that goes over last weeks material. 5 tests and then the final which is comprehensive. He made reviews, but not for every test and didn't post them online which he did for previous years. He is accessible outside of class and will help you. Just show up, pay attention, answer his questions and you'll pass.
For those saying he is hard you guys aren't prepared for school. He is one of the very few professors that can actually teach. He gives us quizzes beginning of each class and after he does a review of what we learned previous. He can teach very well. i look forward to his class everyday. COME TO CLASS
We started this class Face to Face. Attendance was mandatory. There is a quiz at the beginning of every class. 4 exams and 1 Final. If you follow his lectures and do the work you will succeed. There were a lot of negative comments about him here but I really enjoyed his class. I respect his style of teaching. I highly recommend him!
I am one of those students that sucks at math but came to realize that if I practiced I could grasp the concepts better. I took this class over the summer and I only attended one lecture. Professor Gomez posted the recordings for later viewing. EASY A if you complete your mathlab hw, 4 tests and 1 final which was 40% of grade but only 12 questions.
Easy prof, just do your homework and the reviews. Allows notes on the tests.
Look I took this course fully online, googled everything exams are easy. If your trying to learn dont take this class. Also hes a d!(k so if you miss something its a zero.
He Does many examples in his lectures. If you have questions hell answer and explain. Also, Allowed class notes on exams. Math 1316 is a pre req and Im glad he made it very very easy for me to understand. Caring and nice!
Hes very clear from the start about what he expects from the students. Theres a total of 5 exams including the final. Great professor!
Excellent professor! Homework is due before the test, and the exams are just like reviews.
I took Professor Gomez for Math 1324 and Math 1325. I got a 100 in both of those classes. His explanations make the problems super easy and the reviews and homework are similar to exams. He's a funny professor, and if you have the chance to take him, please don't hesitate. The class is very well structured and grading criteria is clear.
Took this course last semester and was one of the easiest courses I've taken. Professor Gomez helps you easily understand the concepts and explains homework problems if you have any concerns. 4 Exams and Final Exam are all easy if you take notes and study. Highly recommend to take this professor if you see it in your choices!
I took this class online anytime and Professor Gomez was very responsive whenever I needed help with any problems. He posts lecture videos in the media gallery that great and step-by-step. He also provides notes that go along with the lecture videos and does examples that are found on the homework. Highly recommend! :)
Overall a good teacher but you won't pass if you don't put the work in. We had a daily lecture then homework every night but you have till sunday to submit it . He provides an outline for every lecture & all notes that you take can be used for every test (including the final). He responds fast to emails& your final grade replaces your lowest test
Professor Gomez's class is mostly notes and problems he does on the board. He doesn't post videos online if you miss class so make sure you are there for each class. His lectures are very easy to keep up with and he is quite funny so you won't fall asleep. He answers whatever questions you ask with no problem. Wish he was an option for my next prof
He is very specific and goes step by step through ALL his problems. I took him over the summer and he was very easy to access out of classroom. He answered to all my questions with a good examples. He is a real gem. I loved him. If you are already good at math that will help a TON in his class. I passed with a 97. Totally recommend him.
He is a great professor. Answers questions but can be seen as rude sometimes. His lectures are helpful. Only need to do homework and exams. The homework can be done using mathway. Super easy. For exam he says he will use webcam, but didn't for us. If no webcam then super easy. Just finish the homework and do review, similar to exam. You will get A.
Great professor. Teaches really well. If you have any questions hell always help out. Attend all of his meeting they help out so much. His exams arent hard theyre just like the reviews.
He's a good professor, he's not a nice person unfortunately. Learned a lot from this class, the lectures are good and the material is went over well. He does quizzes every day of class so beware of that. Dude is really uncaring about his students, it got on my nerves very fast. Often cusses in class, I don't care much abt it but someone might.
Gomez is completely rude and uncaring. Dont worry, the first 10 minutes of class he'll always make sure you know how unprofessional he is. Between temper tantrums, constantly grabbing papers and giving you zeros if you annoy him, yelling "f**k" and "rats a**" about everything, good luck. Quiz every class with usual 4 questions, so dont miss 1!
I really like him, he gives good lectures and notes that will help you with the test and quizzes. he does make you take a small quiz to review for your test and he does let you use calculator and gives you formula sheets
Dont listen to the other comments. Yes he swears but he is a good teacher, I passed calculus because of him. You HAVE TO READ to pass the class. He also gives Quizzes every day so be prepared. No Extra credits. If you dont understand something go to his office. I got a B in his class but he was fair.
Attending his lectures and reviewing the lesson notes is very helpful. Homework is pretty easy. Online had no quizzes, 4 tests, and a final, plus extra credit. If you do well on the final, Professor Gomez will replace your lowest test score with your final's score. He really does care that you learn and quickly replies to emails. Would take again!
Online, set on a schedule. Great professor! He is so funny and he teaches exactly to what will be on hmk and test. ( 4 Test & one is replaced by the lowest grade) If, I could pass this class with an A, then anyone can! you just have to take your notes and listen. If you do then you will do great in his class. He cares about his studentsTake him!
His lessons were clear and helpful. Just dont miss his classes and you should be good.
Professor Gomez was overall easy and understandable, he would just move very fast and was honestly hard to keep up. He's good with giving you partial credit. Although he made unnecessary comments he's a chill professor.
Great professor! Great at giving explanations and giving you all of the notes and material, you need for the test.Tiny quiz for 10-15 minutes at the beginning of each class. No multiple-choice questions, does the whole review. Partial credit on test. DO NOT be on your phone during his lectures or he will ask you to leave. Try not to miss a class!!
For a tricky topic, it was not all bad. He explains his lectures in detail and ensures he repeats things so everyone understands what is happening. he does move a little fast in class so as long as you pay attention it's easy and a daily quiz in each class everything is free response but lots of partial credit. Recommend professor!
He gives quizzes every class for about 10-15 minutes at the beginning of class. If you didn't understand trig or haven not already taken it, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He will say he doesn't give a rats a** if you don't do it his way. Also if the class doesn't understand the problem as a whole, he will say "oh jesus christ" and make you feel bad.
Decent professor. He's kind of funny but not really. His lectures are sort of helpful, but he sometimes makes weird mistakes when writing questions/answers. 4 tests and lowest is replaces with final exam grade. Homework is on mymathlab and isn't that hard. The class is pretty easy if you are comfortable with math, otherwise you might want to avoid.
Professor Gomez is a decent professor that teaches well enough for most to understand the lessons. He is a tough grader on the daily quizzes and exams. He's a good professor with somewhat profane language. Just study regularly and do the Homework, and you'll be fine. It's not a hard class!
This professor was by far the best one I've taken at HCC for math. Everyone saying he's bad clearly didn't ask him questions, use the resources from the textbook, or even form a study group. He's hilarious, but yes does curse a bit.. Overall, I absolutely loved his class. He goes through everything step by step! TAKE HIM!!!
This professor is absolutely fantastic. He goes step by step through every single problem so it's impossible to get lost, and even if you do get lost, he will stop and explain how he got what he did. He does sometimes misunderstand what question is being asked of him, but once you're on the same page, he helps you understand. Would take again
The best math professor I've had, would 100% recommend him.
I dropped his class on the fourth day of class. I took his online on a schedule class and prof Gomez would dress me down for asking questions in front of the whole class. He uses bad words in his class and curses student without any shame. I genuinely didn't feel like I was in a educational classroom. 2-3 quizzes everyday,4 exams and 2 final exams.
Show up to class to do the in class asignments. Study those for exams.
Absolutely amazing professor that goes through problems step by step and the daily quizzes are actually very helpful and he drops the lowest 4 quizzes and quizzes and exams weigh the same so if you do bad on exam you should still be fine if you have done good on the quizzes
Very clear during lectures, sometimes class ends a little early, I personally think he is fair and will give partial credit when grading.
Professor Gomez was one of the best professors I had this semester. He has a great sense of humor, and does a perfect job at teaching. Each formula we had to learn
Professor Gomez so far has been the best professor I ever had. He breaks down each formula step by step and answers any questions you may have. He is also hilarious as and has a great sense of humor, there was never a dull moment in his class. He is strict on phones however, unless its an emergency he will kick you out of class if your on it.
He's a good professor but if you're soft don't take him. He teaches good but sometimes i need to study outside of class to understand.
Right off the bat Mr.Gomez has a no "funny business" approach to how he conducts his students, given that (at the time of taking his class) he's 80 years old. If you're accountable to making it to class on time, diligent on your notes, and not using your phone/yawning, class will pass like a breeze. Graded-classwork every day so don't miss class.
He is one of the best math teachers I've ever taken. I was skeptical at first because of his manner, but Gomez is really good at explaining and teaching math. Don't take his class if you're soft. He curses and can come off a bit rude, but he's good at grading. Assignments are easy. Pay attention in class. The grades were always viewable in Canvas.
he's amazing at lectures. everything else isn't. quizzes and assignments every day fail a few and you can kiss your B goodbye. teaches like a teacher but acts as if the court put him on parole hell he's threatened to just leave. trust me don't take his class i know he has a 5/5 but he's not really that good don't let the other reviews ego get you.
I absolutely loved taking his class. He does use profanity so if you don't like that then I wouldn't recommend him. He's great at teaching lectures but be ready to take a quiz before every class. His tests are EXACTLY like the notes you take. I will be taking him again.
Professor Gomez is amazing!! I took his Precalculus class over the summer and I definitely recommend you do the same. He gives home work to practice and class work at the end of each class. We had three exams and a cumulative final that replaced our lowest exam grade. He is super helpful and gives partial credit for questions. Make sure u practice!
My favorite professor. I came in to his class fresh out of high school worried that i would struggle with college math, but Mr. Gomez explained in a way that was not only easy to understand but also entertaining. Just keep in mind that he will make you do classwork based on a prior day's lecture. But you can get help from classmates and him.
DO NOT use your phone and turn it off completely. The professor is really strict on that, and he is very rude. Besides that he is good at teaching the course and you wont having a problem worrying about if you will pass his class.
Professor Gomez is a fantastic teacher who goes step-by-step through problems. While he can be blunt, his daily quizzes and practice are super helpful. Unstuck ai made studying a breeze - definitely take this class!
Teaches in a very hard way doesn't explain how an equation is solved. Just goes fast over then hands out paper with questions like we should know how to do it! Talks very rude to students also curses. Kicks you out of class if your phone is ringing! Is this a joke professor? If I could I would give him 0 stars awful!
Decent guy, just learn to have some thick skin. 5-week summer class for Trig, no textbook, just notes and graded in-class assignments. The test looks like questions done in class. Pay attention and take good notes and youll get an A. Try not to do anything obnoxious in class like use your phone or yawn loudly, he will embarrass you or kick you out.
Takes anger out on students, cusses at students for small things. Is passive agressive and consistently calls students "lazy *sses" "fat ***." Has gone on multiple transphobic rants during class. Gets frustrated when students do not get the material and becomes snippy. He is a good teacher if you are okay with a rude professor.
He's crazy, but he is great! If you miss a class, you will start failing, there are daily quizzes that are easy but important. He talks a lot about wild things but he really gets the subjects done and understood, and he is funny in a weird way. I would take again 100%, made math simple!
This professor is no nonsense and that's what I like about his class. His lessons are concise, and he's quick to move onto new topics, so you'd better take notes if you wanna pass. You don't want to skip his class either. This professor has a very dry sense of humor that may not appeal to everyone and some may find his use of profanity offensive.
I enjoyed this class. He made lessons easy to understand & provided tools to help you be prepared. Pop quizzes every class and homework given after lessons that are due before you walk out. I know many people might find that alarming however, it did really help me take in everything we learned. He's mean so be aware if you don't have tough skin.
Took him for an online mini session- he's a little wild but he explains the lecture very well. No surprises with this professor; everything is just as he said and he does replace your lowest grade with your final exam grade.
I really liked his teaching style, what he tells you is exactly what you need to know. He is very straight forward. Also wouldn't recommend taking his class if you're soft he has no filter.
What is possibly intended as sarcasm comes across as bitter and unkind. I was too afraid to ask questions.
Straightforward lectures. He's got big boomer energy with a lot of opinions so if you don't like that don't take him. He is always there if you have questions. Be nice he's a bit older. If you have your phone out he will call you out, yell at you, and kick you out. Totally understandable, it's good to be respectful lol when someone is talking.
Although he can sound harsh to some, he takes the time to go over exactly what is needed. Doesn't tolerate phones, but at least lets us use calculators. Just do the work on time, and the class shouldn't be too hard. He may sound annoyed sometimes when he needs to repeat himself on how a problem works, but otherwise will go over it properly
Pete is a strict man, no phones! He comes across as a nut job. College algebra is fairly simple to most and he does a good job of explaining topics, if needed. Weekly quizzes initially seemed crazy but turned out a good way to make sure his students were attending lectures or completing homework assignments. Total of 5 exams including the final.
So, he's not a bad teacher straightforward and works everything on the board. I just personally wouldn't take him again. The quizzes every class Im not a fan of, tough grader, even though I learned the most ever from this math class than any other in my life. Only take him if you have a strong math foundation already and not a slacker.
Professor Gomez is a no BS professor and he's clear on what he wants. He doesn't allow phones in class not even in his sight and if he hears it ring, he kicks you out. Quizzes are given at the beginning of every class. He cusses a lot if you mind that don't take him. Overall, he's a cool professor and his lectures are easy to follow
This teacher will stress you out, his classes are loaded with material and it feels like your brain is being flooded with information. He says he gives you quizzes about what you learned the previous class but no its about material that given like 3 classes ago after you have forgotten about it. He made you feel scared to participate in class.
Gomez was a great professor and I was able to pass with an A in the class. Think of a woman on her . every day, but in guy form. He always has something to say. Quizzes every class period and test reviews are like the test. Do the review and you will be fine. Learning the material in this class was easy, and he took it step by step.
This is my second time taking his class, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The homework and reviews are the same as the test, so as long as you studied them you could ace his class. If you can get over his use of curse words and somewhat grumpy attitude, you will enjoy the class. He's 82 so give him some slack. He doesn't allow phones.
The way he talks to students is appalling. It's not “tough love”, he's offensive.
This professor is verbally abusive to women and LGBTQ indivi
I never get offended by his language, I honestly think its hilarious. Pop quizzes every class, but as long as you study you should be okay. His exams are just like the reviews. EASY CLASS
This professor wants you to succeed and is always willing to help you out if you are having trouble in class. As long as you study outside of class and do your assignments, you should be able to pass.
Best professor. I was never good at math, but the way he taught everything was so simple, and I could understand. It's an easy A if you take 1 hour out of your day to study for exams and quizzes. There are quizzes every class, but they're not hard, and he drops the lowest 4. The exam reviews are just like the exams. If you suck at math, take him.
