Reviews of professor Archie Medrano

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He answers questions with "bc it is" or "bc I just did it and that's what I got." If you're going into this class to actually learn the material, good luck. He's a really nice person, but his class was all over the place. When we switched to online, he completely stopped teaching and just put up vague powerpoints. Not worth the $$ I pay for school.

He is very nice. There is homework every week and it is easy to forget to do it. However, he goes over the homework during class and answers any questions you may have. If you do the homework then you will pass the exams. The exams are he biggest part of your grade.

Despite the class being relatively easy, it is by far the most boring and useless waste of time. The professor himself does an awful job of explaining the work. He really just states the problem and solves it on the board without describing any of the steps. Didn't learn anything practical or useful and it was just ridiculously abstract.

Class was a bit awkward, not on his part but because of online learning. He assigned 6 homework assignements, only one of those being on the test. There's a group paper and project, and that's about 40% of your grade. The tests were fairly easy, and you don't need a lot of math knowledge at all to ace them! Recommend taking him, ez A!

Don't take Professor Medrano. Your experience may be different, but he is so boring and doesn't care to make class engaging. Sometimes we work on a problem the entire class and doesn't care to see if we understand or follow along. He'll go all class without saying a word and just writing notes too fast. If you want to waste your time, take him.

Absolutely does not know how to teach. Terrible at explaining concepts, not very helpful outside of class. If you're struggling he'll just tell you to study more. Homework is useless as study material, exams are nothing like anything gone over in class. 10/10 would NOT recommend.
