My favorite Concordia teacher so far. Super clear, concise, doesn't waist time with unrelenting things and makes sure everyone in class understands. He is also surprisingly funny and cracks hilarious jokes here and there.

I'll Have to be completely honest, as much as i dislike this teacher for giving me such a bad grade(i feel that i am strong at math and landed a B+). I cannot deny the fact that he is a really good teacher. If you want to actually learn something, then i recommend him strongly!

Nice teacher who know what he's talking about just listen and do a few exercices at home and you'll be good. Always asks if the pace is okay and is ready to explain over and over if you didn't understand.

Comment:

He cares about the students and tries to get everyone involved. My friends took this course with other professors and it was supposedly very easy. With Santana? NO. The assignments are insane, the mid-term is similar to the assignments, and the final is ridiculous. If you care about your GPA, avoid. If you want a challenge then go ahead.

Comment:

Santana is a great teacher in terms of Mathematics. I took MATH 209 w/ him and the Romanelli at the same time. Although overall the atmosphere in Romanelli's class is certainly better, however this guy is the one knows what his doing and holds the perfect pace for student to learn. Plenty of examples in classes which was what you need for math.

Comment:

He explains the material really well. Basically, he will first present the theories which doesn't take a long time and for the rest of the lecture, he will do a plenty of examples for you to understand. Do the midterms and finals samples and you will be good to go.

Fantastic teacher! Would take him again and again. Does tons of examples and makes YOU find the answers first. His class is not for the lazy, but if you participate you will have a clear knowledge of the subject and get great marks. Great sense of humor and very entertaining too!

Really good teacher, likes to teach, always keeps the class alive, makes a lot of jokes. Does a bunch of examples and often extends the class to do extra problems. I definitely recommend this teacher.

Comment:

good teach, dosent really insult anyone just involves people more, he yells to wake everyone up, or to put emphasis on a problem, his notes are good but sometimes 2 much like the book (mathematical notation) do the problems on your time and you will be fine.

Great professor overall! Honestly if you go to lecture, take proper notes, ask questions, do the assignments you'll be fine. He gives you a lot of examples to really reinforce the theory. Great pace overall, truly cares about his students, even offered an extra lecture so not to rush through. Exams might be a bit long but very fair just like he is.

Worst teacher ever. Makes very hard and long exams and expect us to finish the midterm in one hour but after 2 hours and a half the whole was still writting the exam. Don't take him if care about your grades.

Comment:

Awful. Childish "sense of humour", writes the textbook on the board and doesn't explain anything. Only makes office hours and email available to students he likes. Nightmarish grader, let's it be known he has other things to do besides teaching you. Compu-sci prof hating maths, Avoid at all costs.
