Reviews of professor Francisco Montes de Oca

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not take him unless you have no options. Very thick Spanish accent to the point of it being unintelligible. Assigns lots of homework and tests, and is also nearly impossible to reach. He is not a professor you want. Easily the worst professor at UM. Freshmen be warned.

I didn't like him cause his accent makes him hard to understand. He's an ok professor.

There is HW for every lesson and 4 tests throughout the class. The homework for the whole semester is %20. and each test is %20. He teaches very clear and has a passion for what he does. He is also very sweet and caring, he has a bit of a Latin accent, but he tries hard to make sure students understand him. Takes notes, do your homework, youll pass

Great teacher.. He will not let you fail and hes very kind and understanding. His lectures were very precise! The homework and tests are all online and he gives you a lot of time to complete them.

Has a VERY strong accent. Every class is a lecture, which is expected but I found them to be incredibly boring as he takes forever to get to the point. I finished his class with an 89.76 and he did not answer any of my 3 emails asking if there is anything I can do to get to a 90. All of his tests & the final are written response. Not easy at all.

This is the review you are looking for, you don't have to ready anything else. I took Professor Montes de Oca's math class my second semester freshman year, and it was an absolute nightmare. He has an extremely thick Spanish accent and follows the math department syllabus word for word, so expect no extensions/retakes, and a 0% if you miss an exam.

His accent is kinda difficult to understand but other than that its an easy class to pass. Only down side is a lot of hw but he has a plan to do the hw on a specific day and if you follow the schedule its super easy and never stressful. Tests are very straightforward and easy as well

Very inaccessible, have emailed him numerous times over the semester and have not been able to get a hold of him. He also has a very thick accent which makes understanding him very very difficult. Unless you are a math whiz do not take his class. By far the worst professor I have had at the University of Miami.

The class was amazing and pretty clear. He teach you what you need for the future. Not heavy lectures and he is focused on the students to learn the content rather than going fast. Take it, he is an amazing professor.

Awful teacher. I barely passed his class. Funny how a 100 hundred level class can somehow be easier than a 300 level one. Not the best English speaker so his lectures sound like gibberish and baby talk. Would not recommend.
