Reviews of professor Mauricio Gomez Morales

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Don't let all the bad reviews scare you. This class isn't that hard compared to upper level computer science courses. There is a lot of work, but just manage your time wisely and make sure you genuinely understand the concepts and you'll be fine. If you're majoring in computer science... it gets much worse so appreciate this while you can.

Often,  I would find myself lost in his lectures , which are very boring , the time based quizzes at the end of the lectures can be a little hassle sometimes.
Class is also very short and fast paced which doesnt help at all with learning programming and we often miss topics due to the shortage of time ; I wouldnt take this class at all.

AVOID Dr. Mauricio's Programming 1 CS-1083 Class AT ALL COSTS! He is a very strict grader and has random participation grades in his lectures and all classes are MANDATORY, even though when we do the ZyBooks we end up teaching ourselves the concepts he discusses AFTER they are due, He has a very thick accent and you can barely understand him.

 Overall, I've found him to be a great professor. He provides helpful feedback.

However, it's important to note that this class requires active participation and effort. Expecting to succeed without putting in the work won't cut it. I highly recommend diving into the coding assignments and seeking help when needed.

Refuses to answer specific questions unless during office hours then gets annoyed when you use his office hours. Grading criteria is unclear often and even when it is he doesn't know how to set up the automatic grading correctly so you always have to check his work after he grades you. Kind of passive aggressive. Better off learning on youtube.

Professor does not care about his students at all. If you ever have an issue, he will not help you. If you have difficulty with something, he will make you an example out of you and ridicule you in front of the class. Please find another professor to take if possible!
