Comment:

This guy knows the content, and I'm sure he's very talented in the field, but his strength is not in teaching. His classes, course plan, and projects are very unorganized and when asked for clarification he gives little to none (in my experiences). I'd like to say I've learned things from his class but mostly it's been from videos he's posted.

Comment:

By far the worst professor I have ever had at Mohawk. Grades are completely made up, he is condescending and offers little to no help, even though he is incredibly active sharing on his Facebook. Most of his lectures are just random and irrelevant youtube videos he plays for us. His accent is very thick which sometimes makes it hard to understand.

Comment:

Not returning to Mohawk College. I have recieved phone calls from the college asking me to return. I won't because I was in several classes with Rafael, and he is the worst teacher I have ever had. Does not follow the course outlines and makes up projects in class without any handouts.

Comment:

Perhaps the main reason I chose Business over Creative. Raf I feel knows what he is doing but does not know how to handle his class. As for marks? What marks? You get a check mark if your lucky. You'll never know an actual number until report cards and then you dont know how you go it.

Comment:

Raph is an alright guy but to be honest he's probally the worst teacher I have ever had. Really I wonder sometimes how they go about hiring teachers. I was looking forward to taking this program and I am almost done my second semester. Now I think Mohawk is joke lol lol. I would change schools but I already am in debt 10 grand so, I will stick it

Very intelligent, and easy to talk to. Great with constructive criticism, but sometimes the ideas he tries to get across are difficult to understand. Other than that though, fun guy :D

Raf is the man, sure you might not always understand what he's saying but if you really listen to him or ask for his help you'll know that he really knows his stuff. Great class because you never know what you're going to be doing but its almost always something fun.

Are people afraid to leave bad comments? I cannot stand how he keeps changing projects, my mark is a mystery, he does not help me very often. But... I really still love his class. I mean. I love photography and art direction. I jsut wish he would be more clear about his lessons!!!

Comment:

I love this class its so easy and fun! the commericals were hialrious guys!! The language thing is a little tough to figure out..and i think he needs to explain the projects more in detail instead of emailing us like 3 days before the project is due and changing things..but i guess thats the real world! anyways i look forward to raf classes on mon!

Comment:

Rafael is different from other professors in this course (and by that I mean one whose initials are W.A.) in that he actually gives a damn about his students. He stays late and shares his knowledge without hesitation.
