Reviews of professor Ricardo Chaparro-Pacheco

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Ricardo is a gem of the sowk dept. at Franciscan and a breathe of fresh air when it comes to church teaching and social justice. He cares so much about his students and genuinely wants them to succeed. If your interested in being a solid social worker, he definitely gives you the tools to do that and also is a great professional example!

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Ricardo is new to teaching but due to that he is willing to hear everyone's opinion ad takes into account what the students have to say. He is a very reasonable professor and will work with every student. He is good at teaching all different learning types because he uses different types of assessment.

Prof. Ricardo is amazing! I took him for Culture and Diversity and History of Social Welfare. He is so caring about life circumstances and gives extensions as needed. The classes are not too hard, and if you put in the work, you will get an A or B at the lowest. 10/10 recommend!

Dr. Ricardo Chaparro-Pacheco is one of my favorite professors. He is hilarious, the lectures are always engaging, and the tests are SO easy. He shares personal stories and really encourages class participation but understands those who are more prone to staying quiet in class.

I took the History of Social Welfare with Dr. Ricardo. If I had the option to take this class with Dorothy Day herself or Dr. Ricardo I would choose Dr. Ricardo. He does a very good job of explaining everything and the class if very engaging. He encourages questions, and it is a very positive learning environment.

Prof. Ricardo has the potential to be a good professor but he doesn't seem to know what he is doing. Unclear grading criteria for group projects. Midterm & final were online and based on readings and group presentations. There was a creative project which was vague and pointless. He barely lectured (many guest speakers) and I didn't learn anything.

He is very caring and wants you to suceed. Lectures are good, and he is very very good with giving assignments that help you learn.
