He always says, "I don't want you to suffer, I want you to learn" and he does help every student achieve the desired results. As long as you care about your project, he will work with you to achieve very professional renderings. He taught AutoCAD modeling + 3ds MAX, which turn out to be extremely helpful for design project presentations. TAKE HIM!

He taught further knowledge into AutoCAD, taught how to make professional renders in 3DS Max, and taught some minor Photoshop to add the final touches to our renders. The professor is amazing. He knows what he's talking about and treats each project as of it were his own. He'll sit beside you and help you. I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.

Great professor, but a lot of work. If you want to learn renderings as a professional then his class is the right one. You have to be in class and work on the assignments.

I personally baptize him as a stressor! the reason is simple, soguero is one of the few teachers who really cares about his students. He takes them out of their comfort zones in order to get out the best of his students, by preparing and push them at a higher level.

Chose this professor judging from his high ratings on here and it was honestly a huge mistake... He assigns way too much work in a short period of time constantly. Whenever we finished our projects, he would usually nitpick everything and never gives you a chance to explain how you designed it. His grading was not fair, especially for design 1.

Be prepared to work under his method, yet research your own problems about the material being taught. Perhaps it's the online approach that makes it difficult to comprehend the course. But the test is harder than what you learn in class, I think for being structures one the basics would've sufficed. I tried, but I couldn't get it.
