Comment:

Dr. Lopez is a good professor in the sense that he is straight to the point. If you want to pass his course, just show up. He makes all of his quizzes open note and there is no midterm just one final, open note and, on-line! Also, the E-book is enough for you to use during the course. No need to purchase the book as well.

Comment:

Save someone's GPA. First, the grading scale is so off from the tradition grading scale most people are used to. I obtained 94% in the course and that equated to a B+. The online course was based on 2 Exams and the professor disabled the Canvas notifications so that you are forced to check the syllabus. Needless to say, he's the worst professor.

Honestly this class made my semester go smoothly. With other classes that requires so much reading and writing this isn't that type of class. Since its only a one day out of the week class its a quiz every week on a new chapter and its open book!! You can not fail! I recommend this to get a good grade for an elective.

Comment:

If in the beginning of the class you get 42 points on the test (out of 50) but you slowly improve, to getting (average of 49/50 on tests), it doesn't matter because it averages to a B+ in the class. He cancels class 5 min before it starts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

two exams only thats your grade, he might change it because if you dont remember when the exams are you will forget about them and fail automatically. No makeups or extra credit, everything is said in the syllabus. Its college what do you expect, you have to be responsible, I bought the ebook made everything easy. He has resources listed.

Comment:

Do NOT take this online class. He bases it off of 2 exams the whole semester and thats it! He doesnt even have the notifications enabled on Canvas to tell you when exams are due, so you have to rely on the syllabus. You missed the test? Too bad. No extra credit and no makeups whatsoever. His grading scale is completely off too. Not helpful

Attendance is not mandatory. Quiz every week. No midterm, assignments, or final. Open book quiz's that are timed. No make up quiz's. You need an % 80 to get a C in the class. The quiz's are heavily graded and can have confusing questions

Comment:

Beware his grading scale is terrible. You need a 96% and above to get an A. He doesn't teach the material and you're basically on your own preparing yourself for his quizzes. His quizzes were also pretty confusing and there was times he didn't grade them correctly.

The class was online and were only 14 quizzes. There is a quiz due every Friday, except on Holidays. But the quizzes were kind of hard. You really have to read the material and take your time.

Comment:

Dr Lopez is one of the most disorganized teacher I have ever had. There was no structure course plan. He'd wing his lectures and he cancelled class 8 times without prior warning. Entire class was based on one 15 quizzes which were not base on his lecture AT ALL. They were base on our home readings. He is the worst!

TERRIBLE! If you have the choice to take any other professor please do! He had a tendency to cancel class 10 mins before, WASTE OF TIME & GAS! Doesnt lecture and goes off topic no one knew what was going on so people stopped going! Weekly quizzes based on each chapter 20 questions with no room to get any wrong if you want an A! Dont miss a quiz!

SAVE YOURSELF PLEASE! He does not grade accordingly you need 93 to get an A, and so on. You absolutely cannot take any sick days or make up any missed work (of course unless youre a student athlete) but he will cancel class 15 minutes before! The entire class is 20 point quizzes each day and thats it. He took summer a month early by just cancelling

Comment:

this professor is awful. We met once a week and our grade was based off weekly quizzes (4-6 questions MAX so if you mess up One question you fail) based off the lecture the week before. No textbook, just his words. He cancelled class 4 times so thats 4 quizzes we missed. No final. No midterm. No open book. Talks back to students.

Comment:

probably one of the worst professors I've had in my college career. we met only once a week and our entire grade was based on weekly chapter quizzes. this guy has the audacity to cancel class like 5 times and wouldn't round my 89% to an A. that's 5 quizzes the class missed! a majority of the class was stuck at C's and D's DO NOT TAKE HIM TERRIBLE

I would not recommend this class to anyone. It is mandatory that you assist class. He does not give make-up exam even if you were absent due to sickness and have a doctors note. Always remember to sign and write your name on quizzes exactly as he asks or he will count you absent. This professor is very rude when you ask questions. NOT RECOMMEND!
