Reviews of professor Polo Mariscal

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Mariscal is a genuine person but sometimes he can be unorganized with his lectures. Very helpful during his class & office hours. 3 Tests & 4 quizzes; drops 2 quizzes, replaces 1 low test score with higher final score, offers extra credit on test & chance to gain all loss points. Wished he provided study guides. Cal is not a easy subject.

Calc 3 is not easy but Professor Mariscal does a good job to empathize the important concepts. If it's not a test day, expect the whole class to just be a lecture. Has an accent but it's not a problem to understand him, sometimes makes a mistake on his algebra but people usually point it out. Pretty reasonable grader,drops lowest hw and quiz.

I took this course online therefore there were many videos I had to watch and take notes. The videos were 30 - 40 minutes long and 3 videos were assigned each week. He is a good professor and really helps if you ask. There is a good amount of homework but the course in general is a lot to learn from.

I used to dread math classes and never really earned anything. Polo really help me to enjoy learning math again. He is an amazing professor! He is very understanding to student's circumstances and genuinely cares. I took forward to his classes.

Professor Polo Mariscal is very kind and patient. He is a good professor that cares about his students. This class was very hard and you have to do the homework in order to do good on the tests. I'm not very good at math so I struggled a lot in this class. Calc itself is one of the hardest subjects. I would recommend attending his office hours.

Overall he is a good teacher who you can tell cares about his students. If you have an issue he will talk about it with you. He has a difficult time understanding student questions, but he will make sure your question is answered (Eventually). Beyond this, he has lectures recorded for you, but his microphone made his voice unbearable to hear.

He was a super understanding teacher! Explained everything clearly, super nice teacher. The homework is honestly easy and he gives you all the answers so you can see if your homework is correct. I took this over the summer, it was a semester's worth in like 8 weeks. If you had a job, or if you had other classes it might be challenging.

Lectures consist solely of him working out book examples. He moves so slowly that he only made it through about 60% of the course material before the final. His linear algebra students mentioned something similar happening to them. He's a nice guy but I wouldn't recommend taking him for upper level math classes.
