Comment:

Lecture heavy,does problems on the review during these lectures step by step. Not required to do HW but definitely helps with your grade. 4midterms 100 each(drop low one)and final 150. These determine your grade. Practice reviews and you should pass, BUT class is for motivated people. IF really struggle w/ math don't take him keep reviews and exams

Comment:

Since I started taking Math 80 as my last math course this year, Mr. Cordova was the only choice of professor that teaches math in the afternoon. Hes a brilliant instructor, but he would only give 4 midterm exams and the final exam for the semester. Most importantly, the midterm exams and the final exam are based from the study guides he gives us.

It's a math class so it's not going to be exciting. He lectures from beginning to end. Take notes he gives you step by step instructions on how to solve every problem. The homework is optional i never did it and still passed. Make sure you do the study guides and keep practicing the problems until you got them down. You are guaranteed to pass.

Comment:

Listen to the lectures to understand and doing the homework helps with the extra practice, but he does not collect it but will ask you if you had any problems and he will help you with it. grades you with 3 midterms (4 total drops lowest score) and final. gives useful test reviews. use those.

Comment:

I read a lot of these reviews about Professor Cordova and I just don't get it. If you show up to class, like you should be, you will 100% pass this class. He gives out study guides a week or two in advance and those questions are literally on the test and straight from your notes. If you fail this class it's on you not him.

Ernesto Cordova is funny, straightforward, and prepares you for all of his tests. Show up to class, sign the roster, pay attention to lectures, homework he assigns is optional, hands out a study guide for tests, and will drop the lowest test score. 3 sections covered at a time in class, you can sign in and leave, Focus and Study the Guide; Easy.

Comment:

I've gone thru all the negative comments for this professor, and I thought this semester will be so horrible. But then my semester was so smooth and easy. The tip to study in his class is pay more attetion to his lecture, all the tests even the final are relevant of what he taught you. Carefree about the homework cuz' he's not gonna collect it.

He gives you everything you need to pass the exams. He provides a study guide with the answers, homework (not graded but will garantee you an 'A'), and he drops your lowest test score.

Comment:

Dont talk and dont eat in his class, he will kick you out. I didnt purchase the book. Come to class every day, take notes, and listen to him while he is explaining the procedure. No homework,I did it, you have to practice. Do the steps his way, show all your steps so you can get points. He gives study guides similar to exam.

Comment:

If your looking for someone to show you what the book states, than this is your class. Not helpful with questions, his go to answer with questions is refer to the text in the book. Heavy in lectures and grade is achieve through exam scores only. He will drop you after 3 missed classes. Only good thing is once signed in you can leave.

Comment:

Took math 80 with him and got an A. Took math 114 with him and I got a B( the final was hard!) If you get offended easily don't take him, he can be rude. Homework is not mandatory and I never did any of it. He gives out study guides EXACTLY like the exams, so study/try to memorize and you will pass! But don't take this class if you stuggle in math.

Comment:

Professor calculates your grade through your test average and drops your lowest score. FAST PACED, NOT CLEAR professor. great technique for those who are self sufficient and want math straight to the point but a horrible professor to take if you need extra help.

He's an alright professor. His class is all lecture and they are so boring I always almost fall asleep. His writing is hard to read as well so he just makes it hard to follow along.

Comment:

This professor like many said is very heavy lecture. He will go from the start of class and end at the end of class. He does not collect homework. He also gives out study guides. If you can do the study guides, you can get an A. A very chill class, but boring. His lectures are basically the example questions in the book.

Flies by the lectures making it hard for one to understand the concept of his lectures. Changes chapters at random moments and comes back to another.

He tells you what he expects up front. lectures are long. If you miss class he will not repeat what he taught. I like professors who are straight forward like him, but most people do not.

Comment:

If all you want is a professor who cracks jokes in spanglish & bullies other students for not speaking up, then you've got the right place. He actually got upset with me for bringing up a question during class when I was just trying to follow along with my calculator. I will pass his class no problem, but wow he is irritating and disrespectful.

Comment:

I truly enjoyed professor Cordovas class. Although he may not be your "typical" professor. He is very well structured & so are his lectures. It is nearly impossible not to understand the material being that he breaks it down step by step. His exam ate exactly what is expected & aren't difficult as long as you study your notes. I recommend him!!
