Excellent teacher. You'll learn a lot. Very difficult. Loves to talk about monkeys from hell.

the best philosophy professor you'll ever find in the citrus campus...he doesnt do that "wussy" scantron tests....all short paragraph answers...4 assignments in each semester...very easy assignments....4 tests a semester...listen carefully to le

this professor is the best! his class is completely lecture but he makes it fun and interesting. people complain about how hard his tests are but if you answer his questions fully and show that you understand the concepts, it's cakewalk.

Rudy is the best teacher Iv'e ever had!!! aside from being a great professor, to me he is the epitome of a good man. He is my intellectual idol and also has one of those contagious laughs that always makes you smile. I love him!

hard class, kinda crazy but good teacher

Has some of the best lectures, very funny too. His tests are not that hard if you study vocabulary and the lecture notes. An overall fun class to be in, don't take an early morning class.

He's a entertaining professor. He always lets you know what he expects from you in the tests and most of the time its in the book.

Very helpful, willing to help you during his office hours. He make the class fun, and intrusting. Kind of professors you wish you could have all the time. Class is hard but fun, it a logic class that should tell you something about the studding you will need to do.

Awesome teacher.... a little wacky but fun to listen to. TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF!

this guy is great, pretty wacky and fun. as long as you can open your mind and understand the basics of what he's teaching, you'll be fine. the only people who have trouble in this class are dumb as bricks.

VERY INTERSEING GUY WHOS MIND IS CONSTANTLY ON SEX. EASY A!!!!!!!

Saldana is a good teacher, but you have to take good notes! His tests aren't that hard if you study your notes well. I felt it to be helpful to make flashcards for the terms. His lectures can get kooky, but thats better than dull. On the tests make sure to expand your thoughts for the essay**

Eccentric dude, but good. Lectures can be a little boring sometimes, but so can everyone's. Recommended.

greatest teacher i've ever had. His classes are extremely interesting and his teaching style grabs your attention and keeps ypu awake. test are really difficult but listen and you'll have no problem. now that i'm at ucla i wish i would run into a professor like him!

Pay attention to his lecture on Kant's categorial imperative. It was a deconstructive argument on monogamy in marriage and highly entertaining. Made me actually consider it.

good teacher. when he's in his mode, he's unstoppable. actually an easy class if you're there everyday and you take good notes. he does talk about sex a lot, doesn't he? i'm double majoring because of him (polsci and philosophy).

he is awesome and sexxy

Great lectures. Great class. Learned so much. But the tests are hard as hell and the final is 50% of the grade. Sometimes he'll ask questions on the test that weren't even covered in class. Very fun class, but very hard as well.

he tries to intimidate the student at the biginning of the semester, but if you go to his class every day and take notes then you shouldnt have any problem's with the test.

i'm in his class for the summer session, and although it just started, he is indeed a very talented professor. very energetic, and smart. makes you think very much.

Haha he is great! a little vulgar but to the point! he teaches in a way where you understand the information! he loves to use RAT BASTER

great teacher! Keeps it very interesting. Always willing to help!

Hes a wonderful teacher who taught me about ethics, who touched me in many new and exciting ways.

He's one of the best profs I've ever had! he makes it hard, but, in the end, you walk out a much brighter student. He's as funny as they come! Rat **** >>>>>> everything else.

This class was definitely not easy. BUT, in the end, you will feel proud of yourself. The lectures and examples he gives are easy to understand. It does require studying, of course. Classes that don't require studying aren't good at all..

He's kinda ****ed, but he keeps the class interesting. Overall if you show up to every class it is easy to get a B.

good teacher, not an easy class very little homework, but you will be able to pass with an A or be if you go to class and do the work.

THIS CLASS IS INTERESTING..EVEN THOUGH I GOT KICKED OT OF CLASS CAUSE MY CELL PHONE RAN GHAHA OH WELL

this man is hilarious!! he refers to sex a lot but it keeps u awake! hes very knowlegable and very debatable

I hear that he is great for a regular Philosopy class, but Logic was really hard. He is intimidating and tuff. I'm lucky I'm a chic because I noticed him snapping at the guys alot.

IS IT JUST ME OR DO YOU ALWAYS WALK OUT WITH A HEADACHE

Awesome teacher. Vulgar, yet funny. DO NOT LET YOUR CELL GO OFF DURING CLASS!!!!

He is the best. He is the funniest man ever. He makes class so interesting and he is very helpful. If you dont understand something he will go over it a million times until you get it. He is a strict teacher, but it helps you a lot. He loves to use Zelda a

funny ass teacher!

very very hot

he's a cool teacher, you have to be in class cause he explains a lot or know someone in the class just in case you miss cause the lectures u'll need to know for the exams. the exams are 10 questions all essay form, if you just repeat everything he says u'll do fine. he's very funny and the lectures are interesting, he makes things very clear for

hes okay i guess.. i just didnt like how he always picked on people to go up on the board and write stuff.

THis guy is tight if you can get past the hard ideas.

Rudy is the best! He's not easy, but sooooo interesting and will explain things 100 different ways 'til you get it! TAKE THIS CLASS! Probably the best experience ever. And I was a real skeptic going in...just TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF and enjoy Rudy and his antics-and STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!

This man is a GENIOUS... absolute GENIOUS and such a HOT, HOT MAN!! His classes are so worth taking, even though he is STRICT, if you want to challenge urself, TAKE his class... it's worth the 50 minutes you're in there!!!!! I've taken him 4 times now, and I would take him 100 times, If I could... cuz I just ADMIRE THIS MAN!!!

He's a really great teacher! He does his best to help his students and get's straight to the point of things. He also gives VERY GOOD examples to help explain what's diffucult to understand. Awesome teacher. I totally recommend him! keep it up!

Don't expect his class to be easy but it is interesting & fun.

Take him for Logic and Ethics classes. Fantastic teacher, very helpful, although he does get sidetracked by stupid questions too easily. Very intelligent, very personable, awesome class. Not a lecture for note taking because of his circular style.

Great professor! I took his class over 5 years ago and I still remember his style and charm. He is deep and thoughtful and very commited to teaching and sharing with students his ideas and thoughts. He listens well.

Not an easy class but very intresting, have to read and do the work.

a good teacher.difficult, and alot of info you need to memorize, including whole definitions.the final exam is very hard.up to 50% of your grade.no homework counts.all test grades.hes smart and you learn a lot,but you have to be in class everyday and take all notes down and study hard.only if u study and pay attention and r dedicated take take him.

This is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very clear and informative. his test are very hard, no multiple choice all short answer and a ton of definitions. if you are a dedicated student then you should take his class.

Only take this class if you want to learn ALOT. it is not easy but interesting. the tests are killer but he is a super cool guy. NEVER TEXT DURING CLASS though. he'll kick you out

Awesome class. Really challenging stuff. Never a dull moment. He is pretty hardcore about the little things (like cell phones) but other than that he is a great passionate teacher.

This is an Awsome professor! He is so animated and keeps the lectures interesting, but don't miss one of them or you'll be totally screwed. All test material is from the lectures so if you take good notes and seriously pay attention you'll do great. The definition memorization is a lot, but those definitions really help in the short answer essays.

hard class! you will have to study alot and record the class. oh and read! he is very clear and helpful. tests are all essays, about 10-15 essay questions per test and lots of vocab (word for word).

Awesome teacher! I love him. He's comical and smart. A bit tough though.

His world religion class was hard and required alot of time in order to pass. But if you're dedicated and interested a B or A is not impossible. Plus he is very funny and open on issues.

This guy is awesome. I ended up leaving his class for reasons not related to school, but I highly recommend his philosophy class. He takes control of the classroom and makes sure that you learn. He can be strict at times however it keeps the class on its toes. Oh and make sure to turn off your cell phone, he will scream at you if it goes off lol.

Material is tough, you have to memorize word for word def. not an easy class but i would reccomend him as a teacher. knows what he is talking about and how to relate it to everyday life..very cool guy must wanna work...

By far the best teacher I had at citrus. This man is a genius! He makes the class so interesting and great. Only ignorant and close-minded people wouldn't like him. TAKE THIS CLASS!!! The best teacher ever! The class is not an easy A but you learn so much from that man and it is all really interesting. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Saldana is a great teacher, if you are willing to learn. His tests are hard because he teaches well and expects you to go to class and learn. It is not an easy A by any means (but I got one) but he's a really smart guy. He can be crude in his examples so if you are super conservative or easily offended, don't bother. GO TO EVERY CLASS!!

His class is superb. he makes his class interesting . he's a good teacher. i'd never get bored in his class. if u willing to ask him, he will explain to you until u really understand. the class is not easy, but he'll get u something important.

He's a great guy. interesting class, he's so funny and i laughed in every class. it's hard to get A but if u pay attention, and do homework (hw is important to him), u'll get A.TAKE EVERY CLASS

This guy is a very awesome teacher. There was not one time i was bored. I was in his class for almost 3 hrs and it went by quick because he's funny and the topic is interesting as well. One advice is go to every class and study up on your notes.

He's awesome! it's a very adult kind of class where it might offend some people, but he teaches to the point with examples. his grading system is a bit ridiculus and so are his tests, but if you understand his lectures, it's not hard to get an A

clear, insightful, and entertaining

1)Show up for each class. He covers alot! 2)Do the homework! 3)NO CELL PHONES AT ALL! He'll kick u out! 4)Tests can be tricky but if u showed up, did the homework & asked ?s u should be fine. He does NOT drop ur lowest score & make-up test is cumulative! 5)Come w/ an open mind. He maybe offensive to some but I found it easier 2 understand!

difficult teacher. he is a strong professor and knows what he is talking about but is stubborn when it comes to certain things. there is no extra credit. 3 hws and 3 tests. tests are ALL essays. zero multiple choice or true false. you need to go to class and be able to memorize around 25-30 terms per test. again, not an easy class but a good one.

Professor Saldana is a great teacher, and is very real with his students and involves them in insightful discussions. I highly recommend this professor. Be warned, though; you take his classes to learn, not to be on your phone or gossip while he is instructing. Any disrespect towards his class will be challenged with fire and brimstone.

AMAZING! this is a class for intellectuals, this is a class for people who really are interested in LEARNING.

Wow, this guy knows his stuff! He has a great personality, knows how to teach clear, and sadly is a very hard grader. Nearly 80% of your final grade lies within the tests, and very little homework. But STUDY for the tests or you will not pass.

Saldana is awesome. Take the time to visit him at the office just to chat ask questions he truly appreciates effort and rewards it. He will teach you exactly what college is about believe it or not. HE IS AMAZING!!!!!

he great its not mandatory to be in class but it is quite beneficial just come everyday and take notes you'll be set for all the tests

Rudy is a advarage professor, studying is a must. I recommend to pay attendtion to his lecture in oder to pass his class isn't hard it just takes effort to pass no easy grade in this class

During a test if you do not write complete sentence he marks it wrong;Besides he want short answers, i study so if it a right answer i should get credit due to the response not grammer!! He has the need to want to feel smarter than us when it his years of teaching that gives deth to his understanding

one of the best professor ever. i LOVED his class and got an A during summer!

Mr. Saldana is a very unique teacher, he is very down to earth, blatantly honest at times, and very creative. His teaching style is tough to get used to, but his class is entertaining if you respect his rules. A lot of memorization is required!

This Professor is very awesome he kept you going all semester long!! he using **** and Monkeys a lot in his lecture he's great but Hard at the same time his Test are straight from lecture. just copy everything and every drawing you'll be fine!!! FUN FUN TEACHER give him a chance he can be scary at first but really neat guy

At first Saldana can be intimidating but after a week of being in his class you learn to love hime! You need to write down his notes word for word and draw his crazy pictures on your test any chance you get! If you speak up in class and he knows your name you more than likely will do better in his class. Just give hime a chance, he's awesome!!!

I WISH EVERY PROFESSOR WAS LIKE MR. SALDANA!!!!!!! AMAZING!!! HILARIOUS!! HELPFUL!! && GENUINE!! HE KICKS ASS!!

I just finished Saldana's class and was sad to see it end. He is tough, straight forward, no-nonsense, but incredible! Studying is a must. He's smart,funny, and passionate about his subject. For this, his class is worth the study time. Highly recommend one or more of his classes!!

He is a little intimidating at first. But he knows and loves his subject and dialoguing with him is fun! If you speak up in class your grades go up. He'd rather talk with you than at you. I would definitely recommend him.

Rudy is really hard, you must read and pay attention in class. take copius notes and its best if you record his lecture to listen to it later before the tests. his tests are hard but he is fair. good luck!!

Yes he is a little scary at first but his class is great. He knows his material well and loves to teach it. Take good notes and do his homework, participation isn't a must but it does help for the test. His grading style is harsh but its straight from his teaching. Hes a great teacher you'll love his class.

I really didn't like this teacher because I felt he was a bit rude to me. His lectures are very interesting and you honestly learn a lot. If your a religious person do not take his class because he exposes his students to all kinds of ideas of religion and it may offend people. This class is truly hard. I studied hrs every day and got a C.

People saying he is to hard and impossible to pass probably just didnt study.This is a class where you actually have to study and know what you are learning but get the benefit of a funny teacher who makes interesting and worth while.

He is an amazing teacher.

Saldana knows his stuff.The class is very interesting and you'll learn a lot from it. He gives you very little homework/other assignments. Whole grade is tests, 3 for 15% each and the final is 50%. HW is 5%. The tests are extremely hard and will take days to fully understand the material.Not multi-choice. If you're a bad test taker it's not for you

Great teacher loved attending his class! always related odd things to what we were discussing and learning. You actually have to study because his test are all essays but very interesting topics

He explains concepts in a easy way to understand and doesn't take any ****, It's all in black and white. His enthusiasm is very entertaining. Once you start to understand everything else will fall into place.

He is energetic, raw, and with a dirty sense of humor. You must come with an open mind or you'll be offended. He's intolerant to bull, disrespect, cellphones, and will crush you if caught cheating. Tough grader, tests follow heavily on lecture, book passages, and handouts. You MUST memorize ~30 words per test. As he says, "this isn't a wussy class"

interesting character, not for everybody. If you are easily offended don't take this class. Kind of cool, kind of mean.

the tests are difficult because of the definitions. but if you come everyday and take good notes you will do well. it is also important to really pay attention to what he is saying. his lectures are very interesting. he talks for the entirety of the class.

I don't know anybody who can teach Philosophy as up-to-date and exciting as he does! This is non of those "Plato said bla, Socrates said bloop" classes. Saldana knows his stuff and brings it to you in a way that is challenging to your mind. And if you wanna have some real fun, this guy encourages discussions and different viewpoints. Soo much FUN!

This semester began with me screaming "F YOU" at him (literally) but I did learn a lot. Take notes and read like a fiend; it will only help. He can be crude (which really isn't necessary) but he's harmless. Keep an open mind the whole time and things should be great. DO ALL THE HOMEWORK.

his classes are a lot of work but he is a great teacher. learned a lot in the class, just don't be lazy. read the book, take good notes. show up for EVERY class. if you're easily offended and have no sense of humor you might not like him. but its a great, entertaining class for people who want to learn.

Professor Saldana is Old school, but I really like that about him, His sense of humor is great, some of his concepts and jokes are harsh, if you get easily offended do not take him. I was a little intimidated at first because of all the concepts of philosophy but he said ?you don?t have to believe this, just understand it? I Highly recommend him.

Saldana is a really good professor, in the sense that he is helpful and really wants his students to learn. His class can be challenging at times. If you don't expect to study and pass don't take him. He may offend you. Also, he probably wont add you.

I find it quite humorous when some students say Saldana is old-schooled. Thank goodness he is traditional. He doesn't rely on electronics. He relies on discussion, lecture, and text. How refreshing. If you want to learn - this is the class to take. No power point, no videos. Just solid teaching the way we all should experience it.

Saldana is a great teacher. However, the class is difficult. A lot of reading and, over the course of the semester, memorizing over 100 vocal words word-for-word. Don't take him if you have a lot of units. If you have plenty of study time, the class is wonderful.

Make sure to get the concepts down. The class is hard to most but if you simply get the abstract concepts and an example to go along with it then you would pass for sure! There's a lot of memorization but those are easy points! He is very old school and by that i mean he will probably be your only real teacher you will ever have at citrus.

"this is no wussy class" is what he is going to tell you at the begining of the class and he is right. his class is pertty hard, but its an EXCELLENT corse to take. i highly recomend takeing Rudy, hes really funny (well at least i thought he was), his lessons really stick to you if you pay attention, and it expands the way you think about things!

"This is no wussy class." He clearly states that his goal before tests (especially the first one) is to stress you out as much as possible. However, if you do all the homework, nothing on the test will be new to you. Ask questions in class, he'll explain until you understand. Lectures can drag on sometimes, but his sense of humor livens things up.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Even though some of his humor can be a bit crude, it's his off center style of teaching that makes this class enjoyable. I don't know how anyone could fail or get less than a B. He tells you everything you need to know, and the test are verbatim from the homework.

I'm a very sensitive person who gets offended easily; however, when it came down to Mr. Saldana, I wasn't offended by anything he said. Yes, his jokes could be a bit harsh, but that's just him. He is super nice and sweet, and will help you if you just ask. I've been in citrus for a while and had so many teachers, and Mr. Saldana is the best teacher

Took him twice, enjoyed both times. Logic and Great Religions are very different classes, but if you show up (attendance is only mandatory up until the first test), READ, STUDY,take notes, and do the homework, you'll survive. Failing the first test is almost to be expected, but it'll show you where you can improve. Tests=50%, final=50%, hw=bonus 5%

I love this professor one of the best I've ever taken! Just like many people said below "this is no wussy class" and it really isnt! If you can pass this class with a B or an A,then u can pass ANY other class,its challenging but it sets your bar high of what u can do in college to many other classes you might think are "hard" and be able to pass!

This class was amazing. I had him for Ethics and he is so passionate about the subject. He teaches well, his humor is crude, but there is never a dull moment. YES, he class isn't show up and pass you HAVE to study, take notes, and pay attention, but it was my favorite class this passed semester. I loved it.

Saldana is one of the best professors at Citrus. If you do not get an A or B in his class, you can only blame yourself. If a student speaks up and says they are lost, Saldana does his job as a professor by taking time to clarify anything that student did not understand. He is quite the character, so if you like laughing, take Saldana's classes!

Great teacher!! He tough and a lot of people don't like his style...usually soft people. He doesn't give you your grade, you gotta work hard. I had him in summer school, that's was the best decision I made. He makes you pay attention not to what he's saying, but the patter in which he's saying it. Awesome teacher.

He's so funny and his exams are based on lectures. use his examples and memorize the definitions word for word. if unclear about something, ask him. he'll clear up any problem you have.

Long overdue review for a teacher that deserves 10 stars. Very helpful, don't ever miss a class and write all his notes, keep up with his homeworks, it'll help you understand and if you don't just as or visit his office. Overall great teacher and class

Best Professor. He is very passionate when he speaks. Its a tough class but thats what makes it so interesting. He keeps you working hard and you end up loving the hard work. I was actually sad when the class came to an end with the semester. His class is what college is all about. Take him. He's the best

Saldana is a great professor, you can tell he likes his job. His tests will be tough only if you miss class, don't pay attention, or take down his lecture notes. You will have to memorize definitions word for word. Im not too smart of a guy but scored a 97100 on test 2. Record lectures, study the readings you'll be fine. My best professor so far.

He is very passionate about his job and definitely tries to get the point of his lectures across. He states exactly what he wants, word for word definitions and attendance is mandatory if you want to pass. All tests are written and are based on lecture and the little reading assigned. One of the best professors I've had.

Tests are tough, definitely study to know the material, and be able to teach it back to him. Memorize terms! It will help your tests a lot. Participate, he loves that. Great teacher, very funny, but also very blunt. Always stays to answer one on one questions after class. Best teacher i've had at Citrus.

By far one of my favorite professors at Citrus. His lectures are funny and interesting, and I learned to love Philosophy through him. He uses the textbook a lot, and tests are taken straight from the text and the lectures. Tests are hard, so you really have to study and memorize the definitions word for word. Come to class and take notes!
