I have had 5 previous online classes in my years at PCC, but never had Professor go out of his way to really establish a student connection like Mr. Benito did. This is no easy task, for not having a physical classroom in front of you greatly divides students and teachers. Rocky promotes really interesting work all term long. Has great character.

There is a lot of reading and homework each week, but it's not overwhelming. He opens some of the longer assignments early, so you have a chance to work ahead. There were clear expectations and "do's and don'ts" for what he prefers to see in written assignments, so it's a good idea to proofread your work to avoid any simple mistakes.

He is great! There is a paper to write every week but it's fairly simple. There is a lot of reading but it goes fast. Each week has the same assignments...a quiz, reading, write a paper and discussion post. Only downfall, you can't work ahead. He has everything lined out clearly, if you get a bad grade, it's your own fault.

Good teacher. He's always available for feedback and help. The chapters are long but make sure you read all of them because he tends to pull a few questions for the quiz out of the real life examples of the chapter.

Professor Benito is a great teacher. I took his Project Management course and found I was learning applicable and relevant material each week. The text book is an easy read and one that I could follow well. I think the course is challenging but with the Professors guidance one that is a must for future business men and women.

Rocky is creative for setting up online group projects but he assigns you project team members that are based off a strengths matrix so its tough to coordinate with your team especially with students that don't care much for the class. Overall good experience with stress if you don't know how to cope.

I took BA131 online with Rocky. The coursework wasn't too heavy, it was a very manageable amount. I appreciated the feedback left by him. It actually seemed like he read the assingment and he left more than just a one or two word sentence so that way you could actually benefit and learn from what you did and didn't do with the assignment.

Very nice and helpful when I needed. Read chapter before class, Rocky is always ready to teach that weeks chapter during class. Goes over things on the powerpoint that end up on the quiz so pay attention. Personally I do not like discussion post but it was a good way to get feed back from other students. Gives you just enough time to do assignment

Do you wonder why this instructor has a lot of good reviews and a high rating? Well, that could be because he asks for it. He gives extra credit for rating him. However, the problem is that he doesn't just ask for a rating, he asks for a positive rating. Then, he asks that you upload your confirmation page as proof.

Rocky is a great instructor! Unbelievably clear with his organizational structure throughout the course. This course was originally an in person and online (hybrid) course that was quickly flipped into online only due to everybody's favorite Covid-19. He provided great online lectures and feedback/help when you reached out. Highly recommend.

Very understanding teacher when it comes to hearing out the student's workload, and accommodating to their own outside of class scheduling issues. Grading is pretty reasonable, definitely wants to see success for his students, rather than nit-picking out the issues.

Rocky is a very good teacher if you are not a procrastinator! He has everything planned out and grades things quickly! The quizzes are super easy. The lectures are super long and he goes through everything really fast so I would suggest taking notes before class. He also expects you to keep up with the textbook. Good teacher though! Super nice.

Took Business Technology, and maybe it's just during Covid but I really feel like I was just teaching myself. Assignments are not graded on your understood of the material, but rather if you formatted a paper correctly like it's a writing class. Then to top it off he asks for good reviews for extra credit...

He is very friendly and warm-heart. He has a very clear grading criteria and he keeps our grading up to date ( every week). If you focus on his lecture as well as the material, you wont find hard in getting an A or B (as long as you follow his grading criteria) No exceptional for delaying so be ready to complete all tasks before deadline.

Would highly recommend his class if you want an easy A. A couple of written assignments that are fairly easy with well-given instructions as to what exactly he wants on the paper, essentially just answering the question he asks with a little bit of research. Regular 10-week 4 credit class, he also assigns a group project that you have 8 WEEKS to do

I always check the rate, my professor, So trust me this will be an honest review. He was overall really nice but his grading was tough, demanding on his assignments and expectations of your work. He will not let many things slide and has strict deadlines. If you do well, he might still find points to deduct but you will get a good grade.,

Not usually one to leave negative reviews, but this course was extremely rigid. The professor enforces very strict guidelines and penalizes any deviation, leaving little room for creativity or independent thinking. If you prefer flexibility in how you learn or complete assignments, this may not be the best fit.

Typically, professors who are tough graders are also very clear in their lectures and run highly structured courses, leaving little room for confusion. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience with Rocky. While grading is strict, the course still lacks the clarity, consistency, and structure that typically balance out a challenging grading style.

You guys did me so wrong rating this guy so high. I was having issues with my computer and apparently submitted assignments wrong and he couldn't see them, and he refused to take them after I submitted them correctly. This guy seriously needs to take something out of somewhere. He is so boring and dull and other students don't engage much.
