Reviews of professor Randol Contreras

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Super easy class, he doesn't post the slides online but his lectures are interesting. The class is one midterm one finals and a two-page single spaces discussion essay and discussion attendance. Midterms and finals are two questions you choose one.

Easy class. Skim over the weekly required readings before each lecture so the material is easier to understand. Show up to lecture even though attendance is small because he will give hints for the exam and also gave extra credit to those who showed up. Also, take write down what is on the pp slides. Not a lot of effort is needed for the A.

He was very vague about his essay exams which is why most people bombed the midterm. But do the readings and have solid understanding of them bc essays are like analysis of them. Discussion easy points, just go to them. Other than that easy A. Class was more like a discussion so saw on point in them, just do the readings.

Don't be hurt that students don't show up to class when attendance isn't mandatory.

Easy A. Super long lecture, got somewhat boring but as long as you do the reading and pay attention in discussion section it's an easy A.

Contreras is by far one of the most disorganized and least tech-savvy professors I have ever encountered. Very easy class but also sometimes boring. He is also a bit of a hypocrite saying he doesn't listen to Joe Rogan then using direct quotes from the podcast as if it's his own work on multiple occasions from what I've noticed.
