Reviews of professor Joaquin Palacios

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Clear grading. Fair amount of time given for assignments. Assignments are helpful for education and exams, without being too long. Brought in a very interesting guest speaker. Speaks clearer and concisely. Very respectful and considerate towards students. Everything that teachers should aspire to be.

He is an awesome professor. He assigns fun group projects. He explains well on the concepts and his exams are straight-forward from what we learn in his lectures. He makes the class fun and enjoyable to learn.

He's great. The exams and quizzes are quite easy since it covers from what we learn in his powerpoints. Also, he lets you use your notes on the exams and quizzes.

OS is unlike any CS class I have taken so far. Palacios helped to make it bearable, and I learned very much in this class. I felt as though Norman's grading scheme infected his class and made it much less enjoyable. He's a great teacher, the group projects are very tough but informative, and would recommend checking out his other courses.

Dr. Palacios is a very nice person, but a horrible professor. He took slides provided by our textbook manufacturer and read the bullet points to us every class. It was evident that he didn't even review the material alone before lecture, as he would edit the slides IN CLASS! Beware: He assigns a large group project that lasts the entire semester.
