Reviews of professor Leobardo Valera

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He has his favorites. He specifically states that only a cheat sheet is allowed, yet the whole class used their notes to pass.. so use them or fail! I asked to see my final exam and he didn't let me. On one of the exams he did give back, he marked me wrong even though the answers were correct because he didn't like how I solved it. Good luck.

AVOID AT ALL COST

I took this professor for Matrix Algebra. He has a bad temper, if your table isn't clear within the first five seconds of class during an exam, he'll start yelling. Also, no notes are allowed AT ALL during any quiz or exams. He gives no study guides and expects you to know everything. Grade is solely based on exams and quizzes

only teaches the very basics of lesson. he leaves the hard parts for you to do on your own. doesnt allow retakes unless someone "died." don't recommend if you're taking more than one class.

Professor has a very strong accent and was very difficult to understand at times. His overall class grade heavily depends on exams, which are written by him. He doesn't give partial credit and he might count answers wrong if it is not what he wanted, even if they are right. Overall, I would consider choosing another professor.

Quote from him: "Im not perfect but I almost am." Exams: just write down the answer HE wants not the correct one. Attending his class does not make me feel like Im paying for a University class. He tries to repeats word for word from youtube videos. His lack of speaking the English language can lead to very misleading lectures.

Grades are composed of 3 exams, a final and quizzes. He is a though grader. Me and my friend took his class together, we both had the same answers but counted mine right and wrong because he couldn't understand his work process, regardless if his answer was right. Formula sheets are allowed on exams. very weird professor.

He will change the syllabus during the semester, and change his mind about explaining topics in class. He is a tough grader, does not give partial credit on exams, and will tell you "don't stress about your grade". He is nice but explaining CS concepts can get confusing. If you want to learn Python, take another professor, he only teaches theory!

He was one of my favorite professors, his class wasn't easy. He always took the time after class or before class if we had questions about the lecture.
