Reviews of professor Luis Barajas Saldana

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Barajas follows the rules strictly, but he is so caring. He is not there to fail you, he's there to help you. He provides you with all of the course materials and you just have to know them. For the exams, just study the review questions and look through the slides! In the end, there is this project on e-portfolio, which is 25% so do it.

He is super easygoing and respectful towards all students. He genuinely wants to see you do well. He does have an accent and spotty internet that sometimes makes it hard to understand him. The work is really unclear sometimes and thats really the greatest challenge. Overall its an easy class as long as you ask for clarification and meet due dates

The most understanding and caring Professor at John Jay, he just wants his students to learn and do well. He loves when students participate and give their honest opinion. Doesnt let you leave class but its fine and as long as you do the assignments youll be good

The class felt very disorganized and rushed. He threw a lot of information at us and got frustrated quickly with our questions. He offered little to no help on how to use the programs he wanted us to use for his class despite everyone being first-year students. Work felt pointless and he rarely updated grades.

I took his Saturday class so we were allowed to have a light snack and take bathroom breaks. Although his accent can be thick, it wasn't impossible to know what he was talking about. He posts the slides afterwards on BB and helps you after class too. 5 HWs, 1 project (w/ partner option), and 3 tests (w/ reviews) Very very easy class!

Honestly the worst with remote learning. Does not make himself clear with assignments needed to be completed and the class is always confused on what to complete when since there is no syllabus. He's disorganized and you could constantly participate but that is not enough. When expressing my worry for my grade he turned me away and left it up to me

One of the best professors at John Jay. There are 3 main group projects that are really easy he goes over and often gives answers to any homework or labs that are due next class. He gives very good grades as long as he sees some sort of effort on your part. Overall he is a great professor and its an easy A

He is strict but lenient at the same time. Must attend class both days in the week or you lose a point in your attendance for missing even just one day. Homeworks are easy but test are hard and material is okay if youre not good at science its hard but manageable. He is very helpful in answering questions for someone because Im always confused.

Very nice and caring. However, very unorganized and unclear of due dates and instructions. You can easily take this course but be sure to get on top of your stuff. Be sure to participate because it affects your grade.
