Many of the lesson plans contain outdated material such as due dates etc. Multiple assignments contain code sample that don't work. Not a single assignment graded and returned until a week before the midterm. Lazy and ineffective. Choose someone else.

He has a serious problem with grammar and it makes the assignments hard to understand at times. Also, he is not very prompt at posting grades and that gets really annoying. Right now I supposedly have a D and it's really stressing me out. I had looked forward to this class, now I absolutely HATE it!

Worst teacher I've ever had. Everything and anything that goes wrong in the class is *always* the students fault, he never takes responsibilty for anything. As an online class I expected to have to teach myself to a large degree, but I didn't think that I'd be teaching myself the whole class. Frankly I'd have learned more by buying Unix for Dummys.

Never Take a class from Him!

HE IS HORRIBLE!!! Never ever take his class ever!! He goes on and on about how to get free stuff and how to get the best deal.. this isnt a shopping class!! the guy is stupid! that is all I have to say about that!

Walter is not helpful at all during the course. He is also not clear with students ahead of time what will be covered in the course. In an introductory level class we were all lost. Walter is not avalible during most of the week because "He has to spend time with his family." Well so do I!! I don't know what he's like in a classroom, but in an onli

Terrible instructor! Do not take this class unless you know web source code! He expects u to know it! If u don't, he gives u very little to work with in helping u. He WILL argue with u if he thinks ur wrong. He is not afraid to make u feel unworthy of the class. Not a good instructor. He feels he is better than his students. Thats it.

There is clearly a language barrier for him. I am taking an online class and much of what he writes is jumbled. Language aside, he doen't have an effective teaching style. He hardly ever clarifies when asked and he writes the tests with no available right awnser (Yes, I had it verified). He also requires things of you that he never told the class.

Poor.

Language Barrier is very evident. His tests cover subjects not covered in class. Final two assignments are programming when programming is not really covered in class. When help is asked for he says to figure it out he will explain towards the end of class. Final assignment does not belong in an intro class with all the catches he expects.

Worst professor I have had ever at PCC. The class is EXTREMELY hard. Shouldnt be called Intro to Unix b/c it's so difficult. He is very difficult to understand and makes no sense sometimes. The questions on the homework often have nothing to do with what he went over on the lecture. Avoid this teacher like the plague.

The worst CS class I ever had. I would never take another class from Mr. Morales again. He is not clear in what he says and not helpful to students.

HORRIBLE! Midterm and Final had nothing to do with what he taught in class. I googled all the homework questions because he didn't teach answers. Made you drive all the way to campus to take an hour test that you took online. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Final test was so poorly written that I had no idea if the mistakes were intentional or just mistakes. I know this stuff like the back of my hand but his test was a mystery. And if you point out one of the many mistakes in his lectures/tests, he will blame you. I don't know how that makes sense. Unix is a great subject - it's a shame.

Avoid this online class at all costs. Find another professor. Teach yourself but, don/'t, whatever you do, spend money on the online version of this class with this professor. Confusing. Unhelpful. Student/'s fault. Read the all the reviews and believe (most of) them. I didn/'t and it turned into a horrid result.

Terrible Teacher. Did not teach most of the time. Attacked students with harsh words. No respect for weaker students.

I've been at PCC for almost 3 years and get very good grades, so I'm not just a bad student blowing smoke here. He was the worst professor I've had at PCC. Period. He was argumentative, unhelpful, unclear, and placed way too much value and too many expectations on that last shell script assignment. I thought this was an Intro class...

Horrible teacher, why does PCC hired such fail teacher?

Lots of computer experience, 0 exp with Unix. Wanted to learn - don't anymore. HATED this class, ALL self taught, lectures had little relevance, assignments less. Grades take weeks, Google taught me this class. Direct quote from Week 3: "you should have experienced a little bit of frustration" - YOU HAVE NO IDEA!! Why didn't you just teach me!

All learning is expected from reading over 100 pgs a wk and online lectures that make little sense. Final projects have little to do w/what was taught. It's like being expected to learn another language by reading a dictionary w/no explanations. Took a MONTH to respond to emails, took FOREVER to grade assignments w/ little to no feedback. AVOID!!!

This was an online class. I have to say that this was the least organized online class I've ever taken. I felt as if I was on my own to learn UNIX, which is NOT what I signed on for in an INTRO class. Class participation was different every week, making hard to follow. There were assignments listed that were for other classes. Terrible!!

WHY in god's name would PCC hire this instructor? He is so rude and demeaning it is incomprehensible. His class was so unorganized, and heaven forbid you ask a question. His irritation level was high all of the time. I have never been spoken to in such a manner. He had material posted on his online course for other classes! HORRIBLE INSTRUCTOR!

Instructor doesn't seem to understand how to help people learn. It seems as if he is condescending in the way he speaks to students both in discussion postings and emails. His material is scattered and hard to understand. He should not be teaching! He seems to hate his students. Ive regretted asking every question I've gotten brave enuf to ask

Hard to approach, very defensive, hard to understand, condescending in responses, doesn't want to teach, says he will just guide us. Seems to hate his students. I've regretted asking all questions, & he doesn't answer clearly at all. If you don't get it 1st time, you may as well forget ever getting it from him. Don't put yourself thru this!

Wow!Wish I had known about this site prior to taking this class, I could have avoided this "professor". If I produced a similar product at work I would be fired quickly..he adds 0 value to this course. Could have saved $300 and just bought the text book to train myself..which is what i'm doing.I'm not an angry student,but disgusted professional.

Instructor was not willing to help at all, and refused to spend more than 5 minutes with you.

This professor believes he is crystal clear, but is difficult to understand, overly critical, and not at all helpful.

First several assignments were extremely easy, last few and the final seemed miles beyond the material that had been covered.

I really wanted to like this class, but it Mr. Morales made everything from turning in assignments, to taking an exam, and even simply making contact with him outside of class much more difficult than it had to be. He used other peoples tutorials for assignments, and the Book's pre-made slides. The 3 hour class was an utter waste of students time.

Very unclear, unhelpful, and ambiguous in his instructions. Dropped me a letter grade and threatened to give me an F in the course after asking him a question about the ambiguity of the Final instructions. Doesn't specify everything in the syllabus that he requires of you and will use it against you to feel dominate over you. Would NOT recommend.

Don't bother asking questions, all the answers are some variation on your implied stupidity, you should read the material, and you should just Google the answer. Make friend with someone who seems capable in the class, ask them your questions.

Just awful. If taking this course with him means graduating on time, take it with someone else and graduate late.

If you can avoid taking him I would, his tests are redicilously hard. Know every lecture in depth every command in depth become a Linux expert if you plan on getting a good grade on the exams. This is a intro to Linux class not a expert at Linux class.

Take heed - No matter how good you are - this prof is horrible. Lectures amount to rantings. Quote "No one reads the syllabus" or lectures or required readings. Even if you do read everything, when you ask for clarification he refers you to his syllabus or required readings. He obsessively complains throughout the term about this.

Gets annoyed when you ask him questions. Information unorganized w/ many grammatical errors. Info is constantly repeated overwhelmingI dont want to come home and hunt for the needle in the haystack! Book does not support actual lab and hw. Might as well teach and pay yourself. The ratings stand truesteer clear!

I would describe him as a bad communicator. He could not choose a mode of communication throughout the class and it led to problems when I and other students didn't notice that he squirreled an important detail away in some tab inside a tab somewhere in D2L (the portal website we use for the class). I did get an A though, so I'm not too mad.

I am one term from graduation, this is the first review I've left. This is hands down the worse teacher at this school. There are constant spelling, syntax and grammar mistakes, the instructions are next to impossible to follow, and the teacher lashes out at any student that questions him. And for some reason he throws in 3 weeks of C++ .

He is horrible to present his lectures. He gets annoyed when asking questions. You can tell that he has passion for what he knows but he is a bad teacher. When you ask a question, he often answer after mentioning "I taught that on week #. Remember that? It was when he saw chapter#..." - of course I don't remember that! That is why I'm asking!!

Reg'd late for this intro Linux class and out of all the teachers I could get I got this clown! Terrible, ranting in broken English and just plain sloppy teacher who will not answer your questions. His rating here is no mistake. He is EXTREMELY disorganized so you will be reading the syllabus many times over felling like you're losing your mind!

He gets annoyed when asking questions. When you ask a question, he often answer after mentioning "I taught that on week #. Remember that? It was when he saw chapter#..." - of course I don't remember that! That is why I'm asking!! He mocks you for asking questions to him.

This professor knows what he is teaching about, but he is not able to teach it. His lecture is so boring and attendances are graded. He kinda makes easy things complicated. He is so strict on deadlines; late assignments were half graded and the last two assignments were not accepted late. He also treats students differently.

Online material poorly organized. Lectures are minimal. Tests absurdly long and difficult and all material needs to be memorized as you are not allowed any tools during the test. Condescending to students. Slow to respond to email.

Don't ever take this instructor , he is the worse instructor that you will find in PCC, his class was supposed to be online but he created a date for us to meet in zoom and most of us had classes and he didn't care, he made me hate CS and told us if you can't keep us then CS is not your major and my class is not a start for CS, DON'T TAKE HIM

This is the worst class I've ever taken before. He can barely use English to explain what we are supposed to do. It's insane that someone like this is actually able to teach. The material is insanely difficult and he takes forever to email back with answers to questions. He doesn't explain assignment instructions well and he is not at all lenient.

I don't even think that you can call Walter an instructor. He was basically MIA the whole quarter. His directions were confusing and then he wouldn't answer clarifying questions when asked. His grading was very stringent and then there were no opportunities for corrections. I mostly learned Linux on my own and with the help of my classmates.

I wouldn't take this class or anything from this professor as I just had a really hard time understanding what he wanted us to do for most of the assignments. The wording really confused me. You need to take this class in person, however, PCC will never re-open and this professor makes the experience just awful.

This teacher is by far the worst I have had since going into college courses. He will not tell his opinion and he is rarely available. He makes other students feel bad for asking questions. I could go on but I wont. Also, he has yet to show his face on zoom once. He keeps his camera off.

Do not take any classes with this instructor. I don't even think you can call him an instructor. He gives zero support, is annoyed when you email him with questions and makes you do everything on your own in a 100 level course where you have never done any programming before. I honestly don't know if Walter is a real person or a poorly made bot.

Avoid this professor's classes if possible. He offers little support and seems disinterested in helping students, even in an introductory course. unstuckstudy could be a helpful supplement, but you'll mostly be left to figure things out on your own.
