Reviews of professor Miguel Chavez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Exams in this class are so difficult with little time for the number of questions. It's difficult to determine what's important to study with SO much information & very unorganized powerpoints. He expects you to spend more time watching online lectures than you would actually spend each week in a classroom. Would never recommend him.

Chavez is clear on what he wants from his students. Chavez is practical but talks fast in his lectures. If you do not put in the work and effort, you will not do well. He's knowledgeable, cares and respects education, and gives you the tools you need to do well in this course.

Professor Chavez only grades you on exams. His pre-recorded lectures are so long and expects you to take your own notes on his videos. He would take days to respond to emails and came off rude and condescending in his replies. He expects you to spend all your time dedicated to his class and stresses you won't do well if you don't watch his videos.

Professor Chavez is very knowledgeable and understanding.  He is quite caring and is always available if you have any questions or need extra help. He gives great lectures that cover a lot of material, but he will specify exactly what you will need to know for all the exams.

The pre-recorded curriculum was perfect as a working mom and nursing student. Professor Chavez clearly is incredibly knowledgeable and is good at relaying directly what information we should be focused on learning for the exams. To be successful, you have to put in the work to really learn the material, not just memorize data.

Very nice professor and really wants you to succeed. If he does not talk about it during the lecture or lab then it will not be on the test. Provides pre-recorded lecture videos which were really helpful to study from. Easy class if you put in the work and try.  Always available for extra help and guidance outside of class.

Hands down one of the most caring professors I have had at HACC. He really wants to see you succeed and will meet with you anytime during the week to help better explain things you are struggling with. Make sure to rewatch his lectures and ask questions. He is more likely to help you if you ask questions and make outlines from his lectures.

So glad I took professor Chavez. I enjoyed the class and gave lots of resources to study from.
