Reviews of professor Jose Buitrago

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Okay, this class is hard, BUT I don't think he deserves all of the awful reviews. The only grades are 4 tests and there is no other assignments. He is a really nice guy and I think he is trying. He made our last two tests open book (they were still very difficult) and gave us a pretty significant extra credit assignment. He's trying to improve!

DO NOT take land 2510 with him. lectures are copy pasted from the textbook and extremely vague while test questions are over very specific facts. you can study for hours and think you have mastered the material and easily fail the test. he is content with 1/3 of his students failing and only gives a curve otherwise. 4 tests, each 25% of final grade

There are 4 tests that make up your entire grade. They are 25 questions that cover at least 7 lectures that are word for word from the textbook so you never know what to study. The tests are pretty hard but doable if you memorize hundreds of slides and architects. Professor Buitrago cares but I feel like he could give better preparation for tests.

started a little rough, but he listened to students and made exams open book
