Comment:

He has a nice personality to an extent. He should have retired 5 years ago. He acts as though he wants his students to fail. The classes he teaches are extremely easy but his grading makes it a difficult class. He is really unprofessional and strongly don't recommend him

Comment:

No tests, all based on what you will need for life. He is very helpful but his intentions for assignments are not always clear. Grading is a mixed bag, would be more helpful if he reviewed assignments ahead of time. Very funny guy and easy to get along with if you reach out to him.

Comment:

Dr. Antaya is something different. He does care about the students, but the classes he is given to teach are the more useless in the EXSS major. His grading method sucks though, you start with a 100 and lose points with each assignment. Meaning your unlikely to fail, but it is impossible to get 4.0. He also takes off points for every little detail

Comment:

HE GRADES SPELLING! i would recommend this teacher but every lab i wrote up for him he would slash my grades for any spelling. i didnt matter if my answer was really right or wrong. The class is easy and the homework you can finish in 10 minutes. JUST SPELL EVERYTHING CORRECTLY!!! test are straight from the book and overhead pictures in class

Comment:

You never know where your grade stands in this class. He also believes that he is an authority on everything. He doesn't listen to others knowledge or experience. He definitely knows alot but not as much as he thinks.

Comment:

extremely tough grader, especially with all the labs we take in class. very particular about what he wanted for labs and paper. The tests were difficult as well, but if you stick to the study guide he gives, you should be fine. My advice is to go to him for extra help on the paper, he's great for extra help when you need it, and you will need it!
