Reviews of professor Philip Puente

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Puente makes it very easy for anyone to pass, you just have to put in minimal work. The homework is through Cengage with unlimited tries, 3 tests and a final. The final replaces your lowest test grade. The exam reviews are identical to the tests so as long as you study the exams, you should be fine. No excuses to fail this class.

He is definetely lecture and test heavy and the material is a bit difficult, but he makes it so clear and understandable. I have never been able to do good on my math exams but with his concise explanations I was able to do great! Take good notes and actively listen/ study and you'll do great!

He's a very nice professor, but not sympathetic at all when it comes to late work or excuses.

Professor Puente is not the most personable professor but if you can get past that he's not bad. Do the homework and the reviews he posts for the exams and you'll be good! The homework is through Cengage so you'll need to fork over about $75 which was annoying though

Prof Puente loves to insult the class subtly. Expect no less than two homework assignments a week. His lectures are very poor in quality, not to mention how often he is either corrected by a student or realizes the answer is wrong after doing the entire equation. I'm sure he's a great person outside of class, but don't take his course.

Reviews are the exact same thing as the test. The homework has unlimited tries. Easy A. If you don't pass you're just lazy.

He would often say things to the class that would make us feel stupid and would make fun of us if we didn't understand the content. He would often get mixed up in lectures too. The one thing I enjoyed though, is that if you do the test reviews, you'll do very well on the tests; they're identical. 1329 takes a lot of studying, but it's possible.

He is friendly, do the review and you will pass the test.
