Reviews of professor Diego Gualdron

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took kinetics with Diego. I didn't understand too much the latter half of the semester, and the final was really tough and brought my grade down from A to B+. I probably would recommend taking a different prof for kinetics.

Diego's lectures are clear but he tends to miss the broader picture when explaining stuff. Often I would get to the homework and not know how to apply what we learned even though it made sense in class. Make sure to pay attention to the details since he likes to test these on exams. He will usually point it out many times and mention it's important

He is not helpful at all, and he doesn't respond to his emails. He makes the lecture harder than it supposed to and he doesn't encourage questions during class.

Diego talks really fast and his lectures come straight from his notes which are sometimes impossible to decipher. Grading by him was okay, but not worth the bs he puts on the tests and quizzes.

The professor assigned large group projects that seemed difficult for everyone in the class. When asked questions about the project, the professor would ignore or provide no help relating to said project. The class time was nothing but lectures and quizzes, a very difficult way to learn. Lecture heavy, hard to learn from

Diego is actually a very good teacher, but he refuses to check his work, he constantly assigned things on days not possible on the academic calendar, or gave us impossible or incomplete exams. His mistakes were my suffering.

Diego is the nicest professor I've ever had at Mines. It feels like he's always in his office for you to ask questions, gives a ton of hints about what will be on quizzes/tests, posts all his lectures and a lot of extra material, and just genuinely seems to really care about you.

Excellent professor! Diego is really passionate about teaching and will make a solid effort to help you with any problems you bring to him outside of class. He won't make you feel bad about any questions or feeling clueless about what's going on in the class. I will definitely take him again if he's teaching any of my future courses!
