Reviews of professor Monica Montes

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This was an asynchronous class and professor Montes was great. She wanted the best for her students and made sure we had the material. She would post weekly lecture videos and a worksheet due at the end of the week. Tests were hard but based on the slides.

Lecture quizzes are straight forward from the lectures. She also encourage you to ask questions. Yes, extra creds are available in the lecture quizzes. Final exam is cumulative and all multiple choice. The problem is, lab and lecture scores are combined. Lab requires good memory.

So disorganized. Won't take again.

Prof. has prerecorded lectures with skeleton notes, in which she explains further in class. 7 quizzes total + final exam. The quizzes are 100% from the notes, no surprise anywhere! Easy class as long as keep up with the lecture/notes, cuz at the end she provides blank diagrams that WILL be on the quiz. Good organized prof, straight forward material

Professor's lectures were very clear and easy to follow but extremely long and time consuming for notes. Professor never responded to emails I sent. Exams were every 1-3 chapters covering a lot of material. Some word choice on exams was confusing but if you studied you would know 90% of the answers.

Professor made the class pretty simple. Each class is her lecturing. She has a lot of info on her slides but the last slide is a list that tells you what will be on the test. As long as you study that then you are fine. I feel like this professor does make the curriculum easy to learn

Monica is super understanding and helpful. You'll learn most from the lectures so even though attendance isn't mandatory, I would suggest going. There are a few small assignments but they're pretty easy. And one bigger group assignment. Tests are fair and not too difficult if you study.
