Reviews of professor Robert Garcia

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were usually read straight from the slides. Every class had a participation activity so you have to show up to get those grades. A lot of group work. There is a semester long group final paper project that can be graded very specifically. Several other group assignments as well. Exams were online and not too bad.

No one in the public health department requires a cumulative final, but he makes you choose between taking a cumulative final or a 10 page paper. His tests can be tricky, because he likes to give a couple answers that look correct. Also has short answers on the test. It's a solid B, but if you want the A, he definitely makes you work for it.

Dr. Garcia's class was a little confusing for me. Everyday there's in-class assignments in groups that he takes and counts for "participation" that counts for 100 out of your 1,000 points for the semester. The material doesn't seem difficult, but his tests answers have multiple right answers and you have to pick the best one.

His lectures were really long and I wasn't particularly interested in the subject but his exams were fair and most info came from the slides. The semester-long group project was tedious so just be proactive and don't wait till the day before it's due to work on it. Overall relatively easy, but not as easy as other public health classes.
