Comment:
Professor Diaz knows what he is doing but is the most confusing professor I have ever met. He is extremely unorganized, his notes are all over the place since he writes down every word on the board and doesn't use powerpoints. I have never met a more monotone man. It is extremely tough to learn from him, I teach myself, but the exams are simple.

Comment:
Professor Diaz is such a nice and compassionate man. He will always help you if you seek it and is very understanding. The tests are all open book and the study guides he gives are very helpful for the test. He teaches the material well and you will get an A if you show up to class every once in a while and put in minimal effort. Cool guy.

Comment:
Horrible professor. Only reason students pass is because tests are open book. Does not explain material well and misspells words in the notes he puts up. The way he gives out the test is rediculous and cuts time of the test because of this method. Why SU thought he would be a good professor I have no clue. Not respected by students.

The class was only easy because the tests are open notes and open books. He's not good at explaining things. The class started out slow and easy but by the end of the semester it was difficult to understand the material because he went so quickly.

Prof Diaz is literally the most adorkable professor I've ever had. He's extremely kind and loves to make silly math jokes. The class is perfectly organized and super easy. attend class half the time and take notes and you'll get an a+ no problem. Had zero trouble focusing bc i knew the test would be exactly the examples with different numbers.

Comment:
Worst professor I've ever had. Such a boring class. Do NOT take this class with Diaz. Take with some other professor. I know kids who have dropped the course- it doesn't matter if you attend class and take notes unless you can teach yourself math you won't get a good grade on the tests. It's an easy course, yes, but this professor cannot teach

The tests are all open book! He gives great examples prior during class. He is boring but he gives you exactly what will be on the test. Put the stickies in your book and you are good to go!

Boring class but the exams are really easy if you attend class. Practice problems are identical to test questions. I recommend this class although it is boring. Pay attention, Easy A!

This class is a requirement but I would recommend waiting to take this class to a future semester that prof. Diaz is not teaching it. MAT 121 is the easiest math offered at SU- the material should reflect that. The first test is really easy, but don't be fooled the class is difficult with Diaz. Take advantage of your TAs they are there to help.

Most boring class ever. Not enjoyable, but attendance is never mandatory. All notes are directly from text book. Make sure you can do examples or you will be screwed on tests! Easy class if you stay on top of material

This is the easiest class ever if you go to class. He copies the notes directly from the book but he uses the exact same examples from class on the tests and the tests are open book. Its an easy A if you go to class, have an idea of what hes talking about and GO TO THE REVIEWS AND DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS. If you do this you shouldnt have a problem
