do not recommend this professor! being that STATS is a hard class as is, hes hard to reach in class or out of class. does not care for students or answer any emails! if you can, PLEASE choose a different prof. when you ask questions its like he looks/acts like youre an idiot. in other words, just take another prof!

Comment:

Dr. Almada has always been a difficult professor. He makes you work VERY hard for your grade; which is typically good, but he makes you work so had its unreasonable. I'm just so glad I dont have any more classes with him. You will work hard for what you want, but he will notice your hard work. doing well in his classes is HARD

He comes off as rude but not bad. I didn't miss a single day of class because paying attention and taking lecture notes are CRUCIAL!! No homework/book but I did the practice hw to prepare for quizzes (after every chapter) & exams which are multiple choice. I never got below an 80 in quizzes/exams and was top 10 in the class yet still got a high B.

Comment:

Almada is fine for lower level maths. However, the higher the class level, the worse he gets. He does not give dates for quizzes or tests and does not give answers to homework assignments- if youre doing it wrong how would you know. He is also abrasive when you ask for help. His class is extremely difficult, but not impossible. Goodluck.

Comment:

He lectures from power points and does 1 problem per slide and expects you to know the answer off the top of your head. His English isn't that clear so I'm sometimes uncertain of what he's saying. The quizzes are okay, he lets you know in advance but in order to past the test DO THE HOMEWORK. He's okay, he's just different and I don't like that.

Comment:

He taught through PowerPoint notes and examples. He also liked to give copies test content to take home as a practice leading up to unit tests. The people who failed were the ones who slept through lectures, didn't want to be there, and didn't do homework. Easy A, but you have to work for it. I wouldn't take him again, but he wasn't the worst.

Comment:

Dr. Almada is amazing. I had him for pre-calculus, and I really wish he taught higher math. His tests are always straight forward, and he pulls questions from the homework sheets he gives out. His homework is not graded, it's entirely for your benefit. He is a generous grader, and helps you out if you attend class and participate.

If you have the chance please runnnnnnn he's horrible and he will make you stressed out in so many ways. Also, he don't care about you or your grades at all. Almost the whole class failed so, GoodLuck!! & do your homework problems it will help take my advice.

Comment:

He wasnt bad. He just wasnt spectacular. I didnt vibe with his teaching style. He taught math from a PowerPoint, which is unusual. Most teachers may step back during class and let you try a problem on your own before going over it, but he didnt. He also didnt teach in steps, which is what I thrive on.

His explanations are clear and he is happy to answer any questions you have. He cares about his students and wants them to do well, but he will make you earn your grade. He emphasizes the understanding of the subject and expects to work on it. He is definitely worth taking.

Dr. Almada is a great teacher; lectures are crystal clear with a lot of examples. Very patient with some students that probably should not be registered for this class. No pop up quizzes; all quizzes are announced and preceded by a take home version. Easy A.

Best math teacher I had at CSU. Very demanding but fair. The bad students in the class complained but did not work at all. If you know why need math, taking from him.

Comment:

I've never been good at math, but Dr. Almada made the material super easy to understand. He gives take home quizzes one day, then quizzes you on them in the next class. There are three major tests and the final. You're allowed to use a cheat sheet on all tests, so that's super nice. Also, most stuff is done on the calculator, which is good.

Comment:

Sis, RUN. He only uses power points and goes off on tangents about things we arent going to learn. He can also be rude when you ask him a question. You should have thick skin if you take his class. He is very passionate about his course and he wants his students to learn. He should just go about it a different way.

Comment:

He is by far the WORST Math Professor I have ever had the displeasure of taking a course with. He gives you practice problems with no answers and doesnt even want to go over them, his tests are garbage and are designed to trick you, our class was failing so bad he practically gave us all C's so he wouldn't get looked at by the university. SKIP!!!

His lectures are lowsy and not planned. He reads from slides. He also asks questions during lecture and goes on a rant just to say "it won't be on the test". His quizzes are difficult, but the tests are basically from the homework. The HW is not required, but you need to study it and the PPs. You can use a formula sheet.

Really didn't care for this professor. Everything he said was over my head. A lot of quizzes and tests. No homework, which is good and bad. I studied hard and still made a C.

No textbook, homework is optional, and you can have a full cheat sheet on every test with whatever you want on it. So glad I took him.
