ralph is a great teacher and person . he is very nice and funny. I love the fact that he is straight out with you as to what to study when it comes to the test.
HE is really nice and makes things easy to understand! He gets really into it too.. it is cute! But he has a good heart and all the time you need.
He really is a great teacher, very straight forward, the class is easy as it is, but he makes it alot of fun. And yeah, he's actually pretty hot lol.
He's really cute, he looks like he's 15
NOT THAT BAD BUT I DON'T SEE WHAT MAKES HIM THAT GOOD, HE PRETENDS TO MAKE THINGS EASY BUT I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OUT HE'S extremely BORING!!!!!
He is very helpful and takes time to help you out. He is quite patient and is not like other teachers that think bad of you if you ask a "stupid" question. Personally he is very nice and easy to get along with. I wish all teachers were as cool a
He actually cares. He is a PERFECTIONIST though. He will actually listen, if your wrong he will explain why, if your right he'll agree and add to it he is very fair. I even argued a homework question and won. HE REALLY! knows his stuff, you will learn alo
I did not take anyclass with him, but I am in love.... very cute,and a very nice person...
He's the best teacher and i like him 'cause he is so cute. His class is very easy and fun.
GREAT TEACHER. A MUST TAKE PROFESSOR.WILL LEARN AND HAVE FUN IN HIS CLASS AT THE SAME TIME.
very very very helpful instructor, willing to do anything in order for students to pass the class , very knowlegable instructor, respect other, fun class, you learn lots of things , easy tests and homework ... very highly recommended
Anybody who has bad comments about him,jealousy and maybe could not pass the class simply bz did not follow what they have to do.If ureally eager to learn some stuff about computer even if u are not computer major PLEASE take it with Ralph.he is very helpful,not talking about his cutness,respectful
He's absolutely charming. If you are a girl, you MUST take this class ;) Seriously, he's an excellent teacher, he gives homework once in a while, you do it, you pass. Also, in his website you find everything he teaches in class. And you can choose between a final exam or a project. Cant ask for more
he is so knowledgeable. He gives us incredible resources to prepare for tests. He is detail oriented, and patient with everyone. Opportunities for extra credit are given. Dynamic class environment.
he is wonderteacher
super , could not ask for a better prof , he is super nice, helpful, knowlgeable of this material. treat students fairely with respect.
Wonderful teacher. Keep in mind this is an intro class so if u know comp well it may get boring, no matter who u take it with. He is clear, his notes are posted on the web, grades super fairly and u learn. I highly recomend him for this class. Best thing he doesn't care for attendance
Very good teacher.
I hated computers before taking his course!In addition to his class being fun, he is totally cute!
Ralph is GREAT man, eventhough i knew the content of the book and the whole class, you can tell that the guy KNOWS about computers. He is a GOOD GUY.. Take this class with him. Just The Best. Take Care Ralph. I hope to see you in Multimedia Animation
I really hated computers until I took this class. He is a great teacher who is also very HOT! His so sweet and whilling to help all the time. I love his smile. I recommend his class to anyone!! Take it! You will learn and it is not a very hard class!
No Comments
Easy material. Grades fairly. Excellent attitude. And he's cute in his own unique way.=)
Hottest Computer Geek I have ever seen.
You should definately take this class! He is an excellent ****in teacher! He can answer any question and is ALWAYS willing to help his students! Its extremely hard for you to fail his class but if you did it would be because you really made an effort to fail it! Anyhow, hes an awesome teacher and booooooy is he a cutie ;-)
Overall great teacher! He truly cares about his students.
What a great tacher let me tell you! Mann this guy is the SHIZNET, loves the HEAT so wear anything that symbolizes the heat and you guys will get along. He makes it seems as if the computer are dumb not the user. Very clear in his lectures. Test are very similar to his reviews. He is avaliable 24/7 to assist, he is very acurate checking his email.
The best computer professor ever , very respectful, easy going , nice, knowledgable when it comes to computers
What can I say, he's the angel of MDC. He's always there to help you. Ralph is a great instructor, you won't be disappointed. All his students simply love him... (and YESSS, he couldn't be HOTTER!!)
Ralph is the BEST computer teacher ever, he cares about your grade and he will try his best for everyone to get an A. I give him a A+++.
great clss, easy to understand. It's worthwhile to go to, and having a hot teacher like him totally keeps you going back to class no matter what. =P
He is very enthusiastic about teaching and it shows through his energy in class. Good attitude and very helpful. If you are going to take this class be sure to sign up for prof. ralph
Hottest Computer Geek I have ever seen. I SECOND THAT!
This guy knows his stuff. Young, super smart, and into the latest things. You want to learn how to use a computer, THIS IS THE GUY. Super comprehensive class.
Great instructor, easy to understand and he definitely knows his stuff
Great instructor, easy to understand and he definitely knows his stuff!!!!!!!!
What can I say? Ralph is the man. His ability to connect with the youth and his ample knowledge (not just in computers) as well as his clear explanations make him a great teacher. One of those teachers that make you want to go to school. Belen would be proud.
he is the best teacher you could have.do your work and you have a guranteed A
The best teacher by far! You will learn alot from this class, he makes it simple and interesting. He's a cool guy and is laid back as well. Everyone needs to take him :)
he is the best teacher there is trust me
I've taken three of Ralph's classes such as CGS1060, Flash and Computer Ethics and I've found his method of teaching is what I'm comfortable with. No rush in material. He presents the lecture in a great structure and keeps all his notes online so you can go back for questions. He's always around for help when you need him. He's the best!
Awesome Class!!! trust me not hard at all!!! he has everything you need to know on webct!! his gives awesome and easy reviews that are exactly like the test all you have to do is study!! but if you know the computer you will do great!!
This is one of the very bad teacher in MDC kendall campus. All his classes are basic in theoric.
I am so surprised at the comments below. I took this professor through Virtual College and he is great. He's down to earth, participates in the discussions, likes the White Stripes (come on people!). The quizzes are what you read in the text and the text helps you with the projects. Not to mention that he will help you if you ask him. I recomm
Very good professor! explains everything really clear & he is really understanding. MUST TAKE WITH HIM!
Best teacher ever!!!!!!! Very understanding and helpful. I learned so much in his class. His tests are super easy. He tells you what to study, so all you have to do is study and you are sure to pass with an A. Take him!
I did horrible in this class, but that's beacuse im computer retarded. He is awesome! He's the best teacher ever beacuse he's young and he understands where the students are comeing from. He also goes step by step of every little thing you need to know on computers. He also makes it fun by making you part of his life, like go playing ball in the pa
Awesome Prof. He's the best teacher ever!!!!!!!!!! TAKE HIM for CGS1060. Best teacher ever.
he is an awesome professor. who loves what he does therefore making the subject really interesting and fun especially with his current events. he is young and understands i loved his class so much i am going to take PHI2010 that he is teaching
Great guy! Easy class and makes it interesting, a great choice if you want to take this class online. Would totally recommend!
Awesome Professor! Makes the class very interesting, I learned new things about computers and programs in his class. He's helpful and has a sense of humor. Highly recommend him! As long as you do the homework and study you get an easy A. Take him!!
great proffesor. If you study the notes and do the homework you will be fine on the tests, He is very helpful and nice.
Excellent professor, very helpful,explains everything and most important respects everybody's point of view. Tests are little bit difficult, but if you study you'll do fine. Excellent!
Excellent professor...he teaches for 3 hrs without making us bored....I learned a lot...he presents the philosophical issues in interesting and easy ways....gives lots of extra credit but hard work is needed to get good grade.
This professor is the best. He is well educated and treats you with respect also he is very helpful. Highly recommended, he responds your questions in a couple of hours which is not common on virtual classes. if you read this messa. prof. thank you for been the best prof. in MDC.
great prof. I took him on line and it was defenitely the best class I ever took online. On this class you have to do 3 projects that are really easy and if you have questions he responds inmediately also his test are not hard because the questions come from his notes or the chapter's review. Thanks prof. for such a great class.
I took this class online during fall '07 semester and it was one of the best virtual college experiences I've had!! Prof. De Arazoza is extremely helpful and makes the subject easy to understand. You will learn to use Microsoft Office office more proficiently in his class. This prof. cares about his students and wants everyone to do a well.
Tests are very diffuicut. Gives great instructions and examples for the projects. Has strict deadlines to meet. There is no reason for a computer literacy class to be as difficult as he makes it to pass. Takes his work way too serios. He has no problem failing an individual. Was the most difficult class/professor I've taken.
Professor Ralph is awesome. He found a way to make computers interesting to me. I was dreading having to take a computer class and with him it soon became the class I felt most comfortable in. He really explains everything well and makes learning great. He is fair and easy to talk to and makes the class interesting for everyone.
GOOD PROFESSOR VERY NICE PERSON
He is nice, easy going. Makes class interesting, has a fair grading policy. I took this class with him a long time ago. He is meticulous, yes, he will even tell you that himself. On the other hand, he is very inspiring. He has passion for what he does. I would take as many classes as possible with him.
Best Professor I've ever had in my life!! And I'm not exagerating.. I had him for Computer and Philosophy class, he makes you want to learn, he makes the the lesson really interesting. His class is worth your money ,especially for international students ! I wish all professor are like him!!
prof. ralph is the best your gonna get. makes class fun and interesting. you always know your grade, 8 homeworks 4 test and a final project. gives a lot of extra credit too!!! take him!!!
He is the worst professor I've ever had. He last name is Arazoza. Don't take with him until he adopt some method or learn some pedagogy. He is very, very finicky when rating and very fussy as well. Very obsessive compulsive when rating students. Many times student left the room because he didn't prepared the class and couldn't support his projects.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS MDC HAS. THE PERSON UNDER ME HAD TO ME RETARDED OR IGNORANT! HIS TEST ARE SUPER EASY. HW HELPS ALOT AND HAS HLF THE QUESTIONS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE HW. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING EXTREMELY CLEAR. IF U DONT UNDERSTAND THAN UR LEARNING LEVEL CANNOT BE TOO GOOD. HE'S THE BEST. YOU WILL GET AND "A" JUST LIKE I DID. JUST TA
This professor was very helpful, I learned a lot in his virtual Microcumputers class and it was not hard at all if you follow directions and read the book. I highly recommend him!
He is a great professor. His class is easy and you learn a lot, the hw helps you out when it comes to the tests. I recommend him it's a great class.
Took his class online was a wonderful professor as long as you practiced the indicated chapters and followed directions on the projects (3). No midterm and no final.
I took this course online and found it hard at times, but the professor is very fair with grading. You can't make up any quizzes or tests, but you have A LOT of time to get started on projects, and lots of time to study for the quizzes as well.
Took the online course & although my level of computer experience is mediocre, I passed with an A. Just read all assigned chapters & complete sections at the end & you will pass all your quizzes. Also, there are no mid or final exams, only 3 projects and plenty of time to complete. Very important to manage your time wisely so you do not fall behin

Being in this professor's class has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. He is truly dedicated to his work and he is almost always available for help in his office. I highly recommend taking this professor because he is very thorough when teaching and no question is left un answered.
Great teacher! I loved his class!
This professor is awesome!! Crystal Clear with everything he expects from you. Their are four tests and one final project. He is also super entertaining and makes the class really enjoyable, which is great because I had the nighty class! P.S..He is also superrrr cute!! so I recommend you girls to sit up front, to get a better view;)
This Professor is Awesome!! Crystal clear on everything he expects from you. Their are 4 tests and one final project..All super easy is you study the hw he assigns. He is also rally entertaining and keeps you awake throughout the class, which is great if your taking the class at night like I did! He is also super cute! So sit up front girls!!
Took this class over the summer. Quizzes are a little challenging but nothing too hard. Three projects and the whole course are fairly easy, as he provides examples and instructions.
Great professor. 8 HWs, 4 exams (short answer essays), 1 final project. Class is completely paperless. Book is required, but he offers excellent lecture notes. Study guide for exams are really helpful. Make sure you do well in class; you may be exempt from last exam. Offers some extra credit. Very helpful and clear on what he expects from you. A+.
Hands down the best teacher at this institution. You can tell he loves what he does and always makes time for his student and advising.
Great professor. His tests are exactly what he covers in class. No surprises. As long as you're not retarded, you'll get an A, guaranteed. He makes you want to come to class. Best professor I've ever had. Good man.
Took this class online. EASY A, his quizzes are exactly what's on the book. You take 2 quizzes for each module , for example: PowerPoint and then you take an exam on SAM, it provides a training before each exam and its exactly the same thing. Easy easy A, recommend as an online class, the book is required
TAKE THIS GUY, AMAZING PROFESSOR
Awesome professor, his class was the first online class I took and it was a pleasant experience. He was always very clear and willing to help you understand and get a good grade. Not a single complaint at all. Highly recommended! You also learn a lot.
Do not take this class for CGS 2091 trust me. First he gives you only one try for ever quiz and exam. Second the quizzes are 45 minutes 30 questions. Never have I seen that from a online class that everyone said was easy. Most of the questions are hard to find in the book even after you read the chapter. Some you don't even find. Strict on grades.
Excellent Professor. Extremely clear and very helpful. Will stop his lesson to let you catch up and explain. I recommend this professor for any class from simple to advanced.
great professor he is fun and teaches really well, as long as you dont miss any classes it should be easy to pass
Perfect example of a good teacher. I took this class online and dealt with numerous technical difficulties. He patiently reset exams, and gave me advice regarding the proper method of correcting the errors. He is a responsive and caring teacher.
Quizzes are hard, one try for everyone of them. He doesn't help at all. Someone mention he reset quizzes. Thats a lie, in case he choose who reset them for. Even when you read the book, most of the quiz question are not found in the book. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Its a warning
I took this class through virtual, & it started off easy, I had an A. SAM tests were extremely hard. It happened twice that my tests would freeze & I ended up failing them, instead of the professor helping, he'd ask if I got in contact with tech support, seriously? Also, quizzestests hard questions, not enough time, do not take him, not easy.
Prof De Arazoza is extremely helpful, clear, organized, and knowledgeable about the subject matter he teaches. For the class I took, there is one module for each software application. There is a quiz for each module, and a proctored exam at the end. He provides helpful review content in the modules themselves. I highly recommend this professor.
Awesome professor... Animated, fun and entertaining. Explains everything real well and encourages class participation, questions and input. Few homework assignments or tests. Pay attention in class while doing the HTMLCSS coding examples and review the lecture notes and you should get an "A". Book was optional.
IT'S A WARNING GUYS DO NOT TAKE HIM, DO NOT TAKE HIM. HE WILL NOT HELP AT ALL. WHEN YOU ASK HIM A QUESTION, INSTEAD OF ANSWERING YOU , HE WILL SEND YOU TO READ THE BOOK. WORST PROFESSOR EVER. I WISH I HAD DROP THIS CLASS WHEN I HAD THE CHOICE.
This professor is very good. He knows what he is talking about and he is really passionate about his teaching. He likes to encourage his students and he focused on teaching what will be most helpful for his students. i strongly recommend this professor
So far the best online based class i've taken. his class is mainly an online course but he helps you along the way, his test are interactive with simnet and makes life so much easier when encountering stuff you don't know. overall his tests are easy not hard at all. homework is assigned every class but its cake. i would def. take his class again!
Amazing teacher. Really recommend him.
I took this class online and Received an A! Prof. Ralph. is extremely nice and replies emails fast. There are quizzes, SAM exams, and proctored final. As long as you study the book, you will do well! He also gives two extra credits. Highly recommend!
Great professor! Gives a lot of helpful feedback. You must go over modules throughout your text book SAM ACCESS is an adaptive test and they are timed!
This professor's online class is great. I took him this semester and had no problems. Everything was clear and it was easy to follow assignments and meet deadlines
It should seem like an easy class, but it actually took a lot of time and effort. There are few grades for this class so every one counts a lot.
Took this professor online and honestly his class is pretty straight forward, theres about 6-7 modules and about 2 tests for each module and them SAM. All the assignments are opened and due a week apart, make sure you do them early because he will not help you out since its available to do whenever.
Prof. De Arazoza is excellent and super helpful. His online class is easy and straight forward. Just read the chapters, do quizzes and the SAM exams. No midterm. Final is proctored but he gives you a study guide. He also gives you two extra credit opportunities. He answers emails and discussion posts quickly. Easy A.
De Arazoza does not care about his students or their success in his class. Each quiz can be taken only once, with the time limit of 30 minutes for 25 questions. SAM program, which is required, is horrendous. It has many technical problems, but the WebSite for it is still functioning. I do not recommend you taking this class with him.
Prof, De Arazoza was the best prof I have had in college, period. Very inspiring, he loves what he does and does it well. Teaches very effectively. The class is tough but if you pay attention and practice (you are learning a programming language after all), this class will be a breeze. If you want a great intro into code or programming this is it!
Excellent professor. I like the way he teaches to the student.
I took him for Database Concepts, not 1060, He is hands down probably one of the most respectful teachers out there. He is very patient and is great at making you think and apply yourself. He gives off a great confiding atmosphere that is helpful for anyone who is shy about asking questions. Plain and simple, if you care and you try, YOU SHALL PASS
Good explanations and amazing lectures.
Honestly the best professor I ever took at Miami Dade. Great teacher and great person overall. Strives to make his students learn and prepares them for whats to come in tech careers. Was his first time teaching c++ but taught it like hes been teaching it for years
The quintessential professor if you are a CS major. His teaching style, grading, and assignments are told clearly. He makes you work for your grade (in a good way), he is hilarious and he wants you to pass his class. Just put in the effort to do so and always ask for help from him or fellow classmates
Very good teacher. Has his class structured nicely. Anytime I had an issue he always emailed me back promptly and with care. Very straightforward class. As long as you do the assignment you're fine. Highly recommend him.
As this professor was born in a tech family, he is a fantastic tech professor as well as a technology professional who loves Minecraft. He has been doing this for a long time. I dropped with a refund due to my personal reason. However, based on his introduction class, I can easily imagine that he tries his best to make his class straightforward.
If you're an ACCESS student at MDC, DO NOT take this professor. He literally speeds through the class and if you miss one day of information you will be behind and he will not catch you up or will be reluctant to do so. Very important: for this class there are only three exams. Each exam is worth 60% of your grade. 60% per exam. Sit on that.
Prof. De Arazoza was awesome! His explanation of topics was thorough and he was always so helpful when i needed some extra feedback. he is hilarious and sarcastic. about 10 homeworks, 1 project and 3 to 4 exams. I learned so much from him! take lots of notes and be sure to go over everything before exams/while doing homework and you will do great!
One of the best Professor's I've ever had. Professor Ralph is really cool and caring, and his lectures are excellent! Your grade is heavily dependent on exams, but only because he cares. The IT industry needs thinkers. The guy is real down-to-earth. C++ and Web Development I took him. Both amazing classes! Take him and you won't regret it!
Started off as easy. I failed one project and my grade drastically went down even though I had an A average on the homework. Dont take this professor.
You have to finish the work by the due date. The only thing is good luck getting this teacher to actually interact with you. Not only did had I been messaging him from the first day of class, he did not respond the whole semester. There is extra credit but he decides who "deserves" it. Not the worst teacher but I wouldn't take again. Work is easy
Professor Arazoza, is intellectual in his field but lacks understanding. His classes aren't recorded and SHOULD BE, as this class is a long lecture. If you miss class he wont provide you with what was done in class. His lectures are based off his powerpoints. He can be sassy, if you ask him questions. No textbook is needed. I wouldn't recommend!!!
Easiest class I've ever had. He opens the assignments so far in advance that you can finish the whole class halfway through the semester. If you know how to use a computer you'll pass the class.
Easily one of, if not the best and favorite Professor I've ever had. Very fun and funny. Makes you excited for class and keeps it interesting. His energy is infectious. Hopefully everyone majoring in tech related majors gets a chance to take a class with him. His class is somewhat tough for some, but he is very clear and fair. Simply the best.
So, this professor isn't understanding or caring at all. You actually have to complete your assignments on time. He doesn't care about your situation or personal life if it isn't done on time he won't give you credit. I had a situation and couldn't complete 2 assignments on time. Did everything else with an A but still ended with a C in the class.
This is the worst professor ever. 50 of his grade is the midterm. the other 20% is exams which are super hard and take each of them 2 hours to complete (there are 03 tests to do) the remainder of the work are projects with are super hard to do, and again take anywhere between 2, and 3 hours. Does not answer emails. do not take him.
This professor doesn't really care of your personal problems. If you live by yourself, work full-time, have many other responsibilities, he is not the type of professor you should go for. But if you are living with your parents, you don't have to go out and work, you have plenty of time to invest into the class, then he is good for you.
Don't take him! His tableau exam is freaking hard. The way he words the exams are tricky. This is an intro class yet feels like an advanced class. Also, he tries to make it seem as if he's a nice guy but, he really isn't that nice. When asked questions in class he would often given back snarky manner.
I wouldn't ever take him again. He's a tough grader. His exams are hard. Like others have said he doesn't care about your personal problems. He doesn't accept late hw ( not even a few minutes late). If you miss class cuz you had a car accident or were hospitalized he will ask you for the documentation. Weekly hw, 2 exams, and a group project.
Great Teacher! Really knows his stuff. Test make up the majority of the grades but your final project will help. The are quizzes for each section that help you refresh on the material. Since it is hands on it might take and hour or 2 to complete, but you get a week so you'll be good. Do study (textbook), if you don't you'll get C.
My introduction to computer analytics was great with this professor. I recommend taking him just make sure to pay attention to his lecture he teaches so well that studying is optional. This professor is the best when it comes to computer science.
Exams are 60% which is outrageous, the course material is complex & it requires much diligence/discipline/ to retain & complete .If you HAVE to take this class & it is all NEW to you log into UDEMY READ a lot & teach yourself before taking his class. He doesn't care about you and most professors don't. Grind it out on your own. Stay encourage.
By far one of the BEST PROFESSOR EVER. His classes are amazing!! He knows pretty well what he is teaching. I learned a lot and he is so organized that I always knew what to do. It is easy to accomplish with his tasks because he does everything clear. He never waste time. His classes are so dynamic that I felt activated every minute.
- Who his class is NOT for: lazy bums. -Who his class IS for for: real Gs who understand the value of an education and want to make money after they graduate. Prof. de Arazoza is the best prof at MDC, hands down.
This professor appears to strongly oppose certain viewpoints and struggles with being challenged on course material. His teaching methods often stray from industry standards, leading to student confusion. Mistakes like mixing EER diagrams with table diagrams and rigid grading policies for minor errors make the course especially difficult.
The instructor seems unreceptive to opposing perspectives and often dismisses feedback. Concepts such as database design and MySQL are taught with inaccuracies, adding to student frustration. Strict grading policies, even for minor errors like a missing email, can have a severe impact on grades and academic performance.
Students in this course report challenges due to the professor's resistance to constructive criticism and rigid approach. Errors in key concepts like database diagrams and MySQL often go unaddressed, while harsh grading for small mistakes, such as minor omissions, can lead to significant academic struggles.
Great professor who makes the material engaging. Lots of hands-on work but clear guidance. Unstuck study was a big help for test prep. Definitely recommended if you're willing to put in the effort.
Prof. Ralph has a true gift for explaining the subject to make sure you learn. He teaches in a way that even the most novice programmers can understand. Learning to code requires being engaged and practicing frequently. If you're committed to doing that, Prof. Ralph will go above and beyond to support your learning. Wish he taught more classes!
If I could give zero stars, I would. This professor is overly critical and provides feedback that is more condescending than constructive. They nitpick minor details and fail to recognize effort or improvement, making it impossible to succeed. Communication is poor, and they seem more interested in pointing out flaws than actually teaching!!
This professor is unreasonably harsh and makes you feel like nothing you do is good enough. Their feedback is vague, overly critical, and rarely constructive. They seem to enjoy tearing students down instead of helping them improve. Save yourself the stress and avoid taking their class if you can.
This professor is incredibly difficult to work with. They don't explain things well, yet expect perfection, and their feedback is more discouraging than helpful. They seem uninterested in actually teaching or supporting students. If you want a fair and engaging learning experience, look elsewhere.
This professor is shockingly rude and unprofessional. They have no patience for student questions and often respond with sarcasm or criticism. It feels like they enjoy making students feel small instead of supporting their learning. Their attitude makes the class stressful and unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend them at all.
This professor rushes through the material without explaining it properly, leaving students confused and frustrated. They don't take the time to answer questions or ensure everyone understands before moving on. Their teaching style is disorganized and unhelpful, making it almost impossible to keep up. Avoid this class if you can.
This professor is a terrible teacher. They don't explain the material well and expect students to figure everything out on their own. Lectures are disorganized and unhelpful, and they don't seem to care if students actually learn. You're better off teaching yourself than relying on them. Avoid if possible.
Grading system is unfair, with 60% of the grade based on tests. One bad score can ruin your grade, even if you do well on assignments or participate. Tests are overly tricky and don't align with class materials. This approach adds stress and doesn't reflect overall learning. Wouldn't recommend unless you're great at high-stakes exams.
Avoid this professor. He seems nice but grades unfairly. I had a 99% and dropped to a C because he didn't like the format I used to submit the project, even though he said it was a great presentation. Many others with B's also failed due to his grading. Unfair and unprofessional.
This professor online class was supposed to be "easy" there was nothing easy about it. Lessons are super easy but when it comes to the project nothing like the lesson and with the project be very crucial to your grade if you bomb it your grade will drop tremendously. If I were you id try to find a better professor.
I don't know what it is about all the oth
I was taking a test, then on the 5 minutes remaining, I told him the file wasn't uploading in advance, he didn't respond to that, but responded later on and gave me a zero cause apparently I "didnt see" the announcement he announced about the due time, and being all disrespectful
I took a 100% virtual course. The assignments were all through McGraw Hill. Do the assignments and you'll pass. Does not accept late work. Not much communication.
