Reviews of professor Carlos Rodriguez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Avoid this professor at all costs. He puts such an emphasis on "playing his game" that he forgets that nobody knows the rules of his game besides himself. This dude literally said on the first day of class "I expect 1/3rd of you guys to drop the class." He clearly would rather be writing than teaching. DO NOT TAKE 212 WITH HIM

Does not communicate well. Gives out assignments over optional Web meetings with no other communication and expects you to know about them. Passes the buck a lot. Does not give direct answers, instead will expect you to be prepared even though you don't know what you're preparing for. Given the choice, don't take him.

The reason why I'm switching my major is due to this class. He comes into every class completely unprepared, and then complains about "not getting any sleep." Does problems totally wrong on the board as well, and he won't realize until someone points it out to him. Totally rude to students who ask valid questions. If you sign up for him.. good luck

I've never had a professor that cared less about their students. He grades however he wants and makes that very clear. He is lazy and assigns mass amounts of group assignments so he doesn't have as much work to correct so expect to be working in a group all semester. He talks down to his students. If you can, take this class with another professor.

Prof. Rodriguez would read straight from the PowerPoint that came with the textbook. The textbook was mandatory to purchase, as Connect was included for an absurd fee (and contained the required homework assignments). Attendance for the class was expected, despite students teaching themselves the course material.

I hope you have supersonic hearing because he whispers and mumbles the whole class. You'll be teaching the whole class yourself because you can't hear a single thing he says.

His rating should be much higher! This is a tough class, but not because of the Professor. Hes really good at directing your focus and working through examples in class. While the homework leans on the heavier side its not excessive and the problems are whatll see on a test. Hes also very receptive to meeting outside of class. Take him!
