The best teacher ever! DO NOT MISS CLASS, YOU WILL NOT PASS! He is very passionate about teaching, he does assign a goof amount of homework, but he is VERY clear on what he wants in the assignments. He is very understanding when you miss an assignment, but don't let it be repetitive! And he always answers his texts when you text him! The best!!!!!!
The best Professor Ive had. Lord of work but works with you!!
Dr. Jose was one of the best professors I've taken a class with. He pours his heart into what he's teaching us and is very understanding. Highly recommend taking his class.
The best professor I've had in FIU. He's so passionate about his craft, he has lectures (that are not boring) and has content heavy homework that come together to help you understand what is to be an effective teacher. He does give a lot of work, but accepts it late if you can provide valid reasons. He makes you want to be a teacher and enjoy it!
Professor, Jose Sherwin is AMAZING!!!! His lectures are never gonna bore you. Attendance is Mandatory; but it's worth it. Do all your assignments and you'll pass his class. You'll learn so much from this class, things that you will need for the future.
Dr. Jose was a one of a kind education professor. Has a lot of in-class assignments; makes you do a mini teach in front of class, but it helps you learn a lot. I recommend taking him for science!
Amazing! Highly recommend everyone looking for a professor for SCE 4310 to take Professor Jose. He is so passionate at what he does and he makes class really fun. The only thing he asks is that you are present in every class. There are assignments done every class that requires you to be physically in class! Other than that, you will learn ALOT!
Sherwin Jose was an amazing professor. He is very caring about all of his students and is always open to help you. I would definitely take him again.
Overall, professor Jose was a good class to take. His assignments were very easy to complete and he wasn't too harsh of a grader. However, since I took him for a mini-term, I feel like he had way too many assignments for us to complete in a day or two. It got overwhelming at times.
I took this class during summer A and overall, he's a great professor and is super understanding when it comes to turning in late work. There's just so many small assignments to do in such little time. I did love the environment of the class, the classwork is fun and engaging. I will be taking his class again.
At first it was a bit overwhelming because there are a lot of assignments but he breaks it down so that its manageable. He's flexible with the class on deadlines which is really nice. The only way to really fail is if you don't show up because we do so much in class. What made this class great was the professor was excited to teach
Dr Sherwin Jose is a great professor, he assigned many assignments but they were all manageable, he will try to help you out in the best way possible. ATTENDANCE MANDATORY, you will fail if you do not attend class. His classes are interesting and he is not big on lectures. LOVED this class would definitely take away
One of the best professors at FIU! Attendance is SUPER important. You miss a class (which you shouldn't, class is super fun!) and there is no way to make up for what you got left behind on. GQ is super cool, super smart in his field, and has no shame in telling you how it is. Overall an amazing class, I would take him again if I could.
One of the best professors I have had and I enjoyed his class. Attendance and participation is mandatory. He is is very understanding and easy to communicate with outside of class. Lots of assignments but they are easy. You will not regret taking a class with him. He is a great Professor and you will learn lots from his class.
He does give you quite a substantial amount of work throughout the semester and you do need to attend each lesson in order to not miss out on points but if you take him you'll be engaged throughout the entire class. He is one of the nicest and funniest professors I've ever taken and I can't wait to take him again in the fall.
Professor Sherwin Jose is one of the best professors I have taken at FIU. You need attend every class in order to pass. There is alot of assignments but most of them are due in class (simple assignments). There is a 20 question final exam that the class comes up with and a mini teach (everyone is guaranteed a 100%). Definitely take him!
I learned a lot from this class. You need to attend every class because you will miss a lot. There is a lot of work and it is a little messy on Canvas. I took this class as a mini term and was a bit overwhelmed. Professor Jose is inspiring and amazing at what he does.
Dr. Jose is such an amazing professor. I've had him for 2 classes and passed with flying colors both times. He's very big on in-class work so if you miss a class you won't be able to make up those assignments. He barely gives homework and if he does it's once a week and very short and easy. Definitely take him!
The best professor I've had in FIU. Assignments are straightforward and easy. You have to come up with five questions weekly, 1 mini teach (everyone gets 100%), and the final consist of questions the class comes up with. I HIGHLY recommend this professor he is amazing.
one of the best professors at fiu!
You cannot go wrong taking Professor Jose's class. I had him in SCE4310 and SCE4311 and received an A in both.
Professor Jose is one of the best at FIU! I took him for both 4310 and 4311; they are structured the exact same. If you attend class, you'll for sure get an A!
Easy to manage, evaluative course. Focus on your mini-teach presentation and you should be fine.
Super easy because he makes the work not feel like work. Very educational and engaging.
Manageable course with a great professor.
Took him for SCE4310 and 4311. His work might seem like a lot at first glance but its easy as long as you pay attention in class. Take him, you won't regret it :)
This professor is lenient with his students! Very understanding with assignments and caring.
I had this professor for SCE 4310 and 4311 and he was amazing. He always wants people to participate but it's not on the spot. He's funny and energetic. The mini teaches aren't hard at all. He lets you work alone or in pairs and the most amount of time on the teaches is 40 minutes. I would take his classes again for sure. Never a dull moment here.
I took Professor Jose for SCE 4311, I wish I also took him for 4310. He's really awesome. the class had a load of work, but it was fun. He wants you to be a great teacher, and that's what you will learn from him.
Professor Jose was by far one of the best professors I've ever taken at FIU. The class was pretty easy and enjoyable. The professor is really nice and understanding; I'm taking him again for SCE4311. You do stay in class the entire time but it wasn't bad because we were always doing something that was interactive and interesting.
Professor Jose helped me see science education in a different light. He gives good feedback and creates opportunities for students to show what they know in various ways: reading responses, in-class group activities, discussion boards, and mini teaches. I would definitely take his class again.
This professor was outstanding; I had him for SCE 4310. He is lively and witty. The mini-lessons are not at all challenging, the maximum length of time is about 30 minutes, and he allows you to work alone or in groups. Definitely, I would enroll in his courses again. He is considerate, cares about his students, and desires success for all students.
He was great very understanding and flexible!
Great Professor! Very engaging. Fun class. A lot of papers to turn in, but they are not hard. If you do all the work its an easy A
Professor Jose is a great teacher! I was able to have a different perception of science teaching that I will definitely incorporate in my future classroom. Super understanding and cares very much about his students. Would definitely take him again!!!
The class was interesting and fun. He is a great professor, very approachable and helpful. He is always there to answer any questions and give you feedback. The assignments have clear instructions and fair deadlines. He grades fairly. Overall, the class was great! I will definitely take my next SCE course with him!
Professor Sherwin Jose is engaging from the start. Attendance does matter but his way of conducting the class makes time go by quickly. Be prepared to keep up with the work but the work is self explanatory and not hard if you don't let it pile on. He's understanding and easy to reach.
One of the BEST professor at FIU. The course consist of in class participation, 1 Mini teach, and a final that is made up by the students. He is clear on grading and extremely caring/ understanding. if you can take a class with him, you wont regret it.
Professor Sherwin was truly a pleasure to have as a professor. His energy alone is enough to stay in his class. Assignments are straight forward and his lectures are short and effective.
The class is super easy and very enjoyable, it actually made me look forward to teaching science with my students in the future. In class group assignments, mini teach that was easy. The final exam comes from questions you create from the pop quizzes you have to do. sucks I wont be able to take him for 4311 because i definitely would.
He is accessible inside and outside of the class. Understanding and has clear expectations of assignments. This class was interesting and teaches you about inquiry learning in science. The course was great because of Professor Jose. Overall, great class and positive energy coming tot his class. I learned a ton through the course layout :)
Sherwin Jose was a good professor but attendance was mandatory and if you missed class you would have 3-5 assignments missing.
Great professor, easy class, and fun class assignments
This Professor was an amazing, helpful teacher and would recommend to anyone in the teaching field.
he is a fun professer to have but you should always pay attention, and attend every class.
Professor Jose is a great professor. He makes the class interactive and has you work on whiteboard group assignments during class. He is enthusiastic, has a good attitude, and is willing to answer any questions you may have. He also values student learning more than grades. For one of your big assignments, he will have you teach a class on a topic.
This class was a great class to learn from observations and group assignments (within class). Dr. Jose was extremely enthusiastic and made the class interesting and informative. I personally enjoyed doing the mini-teach lesson and learned a lot about the execution a 5E Inquiry based lesson.
Professor Sherwin Jose is a great professor because he helps you if you need help, etc. He is a easy grader. We don't have a lot of homework. We only have one test which is the final exam. We have one mini teach and a re teach. We did experiments in class. It was a fun class.
To be honest, Professor Jose is the best! His classes are super engaging, its a balance of fun experiments & interesting lectures. All the homework is pretty straightforward & he grades pretty quick. Definitely recommend taking his course!
Professor Jose was dedicated to the course and to his students. It was very clear that he was passionate about teaching science which made the class more enjoyable. A large portion of the grade is made up of work completed during class so attendance does matter.
TAKE HIM!!! I LOVED COMING TO CLASS! There is lots of quiz every class so if you cannot do more than one thing at once, do not take him. He is caring and very in touch with all students.
This professor is amazing, he easy to communicate with and most of his assignments are done in class so you won't have a lot of assignments to do at home. Multitask is a big component since you are completing atleast 3 assignments during class. Try not to be absent since the in class assignments are a big part of your grade. 10/10 would take again!
He starts the class by saying everyone gets an A. Attendance is important (he allows you to miss 1 class) because a lot of your grades will come from the work you do in class within your groups. Every week you have to do an article review and 5 question quiz for hw. You also have to do a mini teach + field hours.
So the class is not hard, you do need to know how to multi task as most of the work will be done in class. I don't know if I really learned much about techniques for teaching science as we focused solely on the 5E model of teaching. He seems like a nice guy and nice teacher but the class just felt very frustrating and tedious.
This Professor was amazing throughout the course, if you need extra time or need help in anything he is very lenient with things. Class is easy but you must show up to be graded. Would 100% take again.
He was awesome. He helped us with anything we needed. No amount of questions were too much. He allowed extra time to help with assignments if needed. Dr. Jose also has amazing stories that I'm sure many of you are going to find funny or very relatable. Lastly, my class was all girl and he was in no way condescending or sexist. Very inspirational.
Great professor, somewhat funny, a LOT of homework but definitely worth it!! Would take again!!
This professor is very good at what he does when it comes to teaching. He is very proficient when it comes to the physical teaching aspect. Though he does kind of have you do a lot of work, if you put in the work you will get an A.
This professor was great! There was a lot of work in class and 4 reading assignments. The in-class work is usually in a group and easy. In most classes you have mini teaches and they are really fun to watch and be a part of. He knows his stuff and gives cool insight.
Understands science well. I learn how to teach science in an inquiry-base. Overall, great class and great professor.
second time taking him.. LOVE him. Easy A and you learn a lot about science teaching
So first off it helps to know that the only real main issue you'll have is his grading. You'll have streams of assignments and projects to turn in (not overwhelming though so no pressure) but you won't see them graded for a while even if you continuously email or message him about it. I learned that it's best to just wait it out, it will be graded.
Amazing Professor, he really cares about his students. I have taken him twice for both courses and he has been awesome for both. There is a lot in class work so you HAVE to attend every class. Grading sometimes takes awhile but you will have everything graded at some point. As long as you turn everything in on time you will pass with an A.
**EDG 3321** (SUMMER ONLINE) It didn't have this class option, but he deserves a review. He cares about his students in wanting to pass. Do not take advantage of it! Deadlines/ structure of assignments can be a little more organized since that made the class stress out a little bit. Microteach assignments were super tedious.
Get ready to learn. Be ready to present requested information. You will have to read about the latest news regarding scientific technological information. You must be able to thrive in a group setting. Participation is required in order to facilitate the learning experience. Be ready to take part of the discussion panel available via CANVAS.
Amazing professor !!!
I have taken Professor Jose for all of my science classes and wish I had more classes I could take with him. By far I would say he is one of the only professor's classes that I truly feel has prepared me for the teaching field. 10/10 recommend this class. Take it if you have a passion to learn or want to be inspired to teach more.
One of the best professors I've taken here at FIU. Although his class is long, his lectures are never boring instead all very engaging. You can definitely tell he is passionate about what he does and teaches and it's great to see that, especially in the education field, for a change. Would take any of his classes again for sure!
Professor Sherwin really enjoys teaching! He cares about his students and puts a lot of effort on teaching you how to be a better teacher when it comes to doing a science lesson. I enjoyed his class very much since he is big on participation and attendance.
Awesome professor who gives great feedback during class sessions. The best person to learn how to teach science to young students from.
Dr. Jose was the best professor I have taken at FIU. I would 100% take him again and again. I am a better teacher now because of him and this class.
I can say that I actually took stuff away from this class that I can put into practice in my career. He did not lecture much and let us learn on our own in class which aligns with what he teaches us. Great professor, super engaging, respectful, and creates a good classroom environment. Attendance does count and impacts your grade, so show up!
This was by far my favorite class of this semester!! Attendance matters but he gave us one freebie day for the semester if we needed to miss. He makes class super enjoyable and a safe/judge free environment to do our mini teaches. You have to present in this class but he makes it super fun for everyone and as long as we present we still get an A!
I absolutely loved this class! I've always been weary of science classes but Dr. Jose was thoughtful and attentive. He honestly cares about making sure you become a good teacher when you graduate and will give great feedback that you'll carry for years. 10/10 will be back next semester!
Best professor!! Dr. Jose is very caring and gives great feedback. We worked with our peers in class for class activities and was engaging and fun. Workload is doable. Very interesting class for teaching and his method for instruction is great.
Dr. Jose is such an amazing professor! Throughout the whole semester I enjoyed every class and his teaching methods. He is very relatable and gives good feedback. The workload is not bad, most assignments we do in class while we have some reflections that take time but are easy. I would love to have him as my professor again!
Prof. Jose's class is excellent! We have a lot of in class assignments, however they are done together as a group and uploaded during class. So, you may have 4 or 5 things due in one class, however, by the time you walk out of the class, you're done. I would absolutely recommend Prof. Jose. He is awesome and his class is engaging and fun.
Great Professor! He teaches through experience unlike many other professors. Some of the assignments outside of the classroom feel like busy work but isn't too bad. I learned a lot through this professor. He is hard to reach outside of class so make the effort in person.
You learn a lot about how to teach science specifically elementary level. Take it if you want to learn how to effectively engage elementary aged students.
Dr. Jose is an amazing professor. I really took in a lot from his classes. I took him for the first and second science course. He gives you great feedback towards your teaches.
This is my second time taking a class with Dr. Jose. Overall he is a wonderful professor. I enjoyed this class more than SCE4310, you get more into detail of how to teach your students. Every person has to do a mini teach and you have an assignment about every other week. Please take him.
Professor Jose is so cool. He's kind and so respectful of everyone's time outside of class, which I think is super important. Most assignments are done in class, so make sure you're attending. He will always update you if anything changes. It's a group / discussion based course, so you'll be working with your peers every class. It's fun!
This class was great and the professor was really helpful and engaged in our teaching process and showed the class a different view to a science class or any class in general. the best way to contact is in person and he is really helpful.
Dr. Jose is an amazing professor! He gives great feedback that you can consider in your future teaching, and he is extremely helpful and understanding! This semester was my first time taking a class with him, and I have already enrolled in another class with him for fall. Take him!!
This class was great. It is an easy "A", if you take the time to complete the assignments. Don't wait till the end because it will pile up. Attendance is also part of your grade, and majority of the assignments requires for you to be present in class. But overall, the professor and class was great.
I cannot begin to say how awesome Prof. Jose is! I was anxious about taking an "in person" class because I had not taken one since my 1st semester. I am happy to report that Prof. Jose made the class fun and engaging. Definitely take his class. You will not regret it. Attendance is Key...so don't be absent. Good luck!
Great professor, very caring and gives great feedback on my presentation, best class experience on teaching science
Dr. Sherwin Jose is the best!! Such a caring person. Very easy to pass his class. You will not regret taking him!! One easy presentation/mini teach which is very fun even if you are really shy. Gives great feedback throughout the course. Easy A overall!
Do not wait until the last minute (like I did) to finish your assignments. I had a D for a long time and was stressing. I missed two classes & it pushed me back but that was not his fault. He was understanding and allowed me to make up my missed assignments. His lectures are very funny. The little kid voice/impersonations always cracked me up!
As an education major, I am very dissatisfied with the education I've been receiving at FIU until I had Professor Jose. Unlike my other education courses I've actually learned something tangible from his class. I'm a better science teacher because of him, he teaches you how to "teach" instead of shoving diversity/cultural courses down your throat.
He is a great professor! I took him for 2 semesters in a row. His work is easy and you'll do good if you show up to class. Many in class assignments but they are super simple and done in a group setting. Could not recommend him enough. He is very understand and a hilarious dude. As long as you stay on top of your stuff you should have no issues.
If you don't take him your missing out! He is awesome and care about his students!
He is AMAZING! Definitely take his class!!!
Professor Jose is truly so amazing. He is kind, caring, motivating, and overall such a great professor. This class is not hard to do well in if you just apply yourself. I feel like I took away a lot from the class and learned in a new way. We didn't really lecture much which was great. Highly recommend!
10/10 Highly recommend. He is super passionate about his work and what he does. His lectures are easy to keep along with and are a guaranteed A if you follow along. This class and its contents will stay with me as I dive into the field!
Dr Sherwin Jose is by far one of the best professors I have ever taken at FIU. He does such a good job at shaping future teachers. Seriously this is the man with the plan! He is also super kind and understanding, you are missing out if you haven't taken his class. I couldn't recommend him enough. Most of the work/Homework is done in class BTW
He is an amazing professor! Take his class if you have the chance.
Professor Jose is honestly the dream teacher any student can ask for. His class provides a safe place where you can really express yourself and learn from one another. He is not so textbook heavy. We do a lot of classroom activities that are fun. He defiantly inspired me to be a great teacher like him.
100% would take this class again! The professor made the content of the class very interesting without long boring lectures. You will have to prepare a mini-teach and evaluate a student's mini-teach every class. Overall, super easy and you will enjoy coming to his class.
By far one of the best professors at FIU. I can honestly say that I will be a better teacher because of him. All he cares about is that you show up. Most of the work is done in class with your group and uploaded to Canvas before you leave. The mini teach might seem nerve wrecking but he makes you feel so comfortable you won't even mind.
Dr. Sherwin's courses at FIU are among the best I've taken, filled with dynamic discussions that foster a deeper understanding of scientific principles. His dedication to student learning and enthusiasm for the subject matter create an inspiring environment where students feel motivated to delve into the wonders of science. Great professor!
Dr. Jose is one of the most caring and passionate Professors I've had since I transferred to FIU. I've had him for 3 different classes and from the first day I knew he would be such an amazing teacher. He is super flexible, but isn't a push over, he gives great feedback, and never judges you or puts you down. Take him I promise you won't regret it!
the teacher Dr. Jose is super respectful, extremely understanding ad listens to everyones opinions. I've had him for two years now and i never regret my time with Dr. Jose
PLEASE, do not take this class if you are constantly late or absent! There is a lot of content that needs to be covered. PLEASE, do take him if you want to try hard and learn a lot about teaching science while simultaneously getting a good grade for it. Work hard on your presentation and complete your 10 field experience hours. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Dr. Jose is an amazing professor! He makes his classes so interesting and fun. I felt so engaged with the lessons, which helped me learn so much more. He's caring, patient, dedicated, and one of the best professors I've ever had. You will not regret taking his class!
Mr. Jose does not check his emails and this is very unprofessional as a professor. As a student if I would like to ask a question to clarify something on an assignment I couldn't. I emailed him at the start of the semester about an assignment and it is the end of the semester and he haven't even said anything about the countless emails I've sent.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Prof Sherwin Jose is amazing at teaching SCE4310. He does an amazing job at providing fun yet thought provoking lectures. I loved the mini-teaches we did in class, everything I learned in class will 100% be used in my future classroom. He's thoughtful and kind. I would take this class again without a doubt.
Dr. Jose is AMAZING!!! I've never had such a positive and encouraging teacher! Classwork is very dependent on group work, which is fun. I've learned so much in class about teaching in general, not just teaching science elementary. Work is easy. Also, he encourages AI A LOT, so if you're not a fan of AI use, you wouldn't like the workload.
