Reviews of professor Joel Salazar

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Funny guy has jokes but overall goes based off stuff "you should already know". Likes to put people on the spot a lot, gives lots of homework and group projects if you miss a day of class god luck catching up.

Project is the biggest portion of the grade. If messed up, you fail the class. It is very confusing and does not make sense at all. Only 1 midterm and a lot of online homework. He gets carried away a lot and only does the "Warm Up" for the whole class duration and expects us to know the NEW material that was never went over. You have to learn it

Horrible. If you don't know anything about basic math good luck. He puts you on the spot and expects you to already know the answer/what is being "taught". He teaches like a HS teacher. Makes you buy a horrible 90$ book. You basically teach yourself. Don't expect to get an answer if you ask a question. A lot of group work. Overall hes a bad teacher

Would not recommend if you arent good at math, you dont learn in the class its based off what you know,

hes super cool, but can get serious, he really encourages you to solve problems on your own and gives really good feedback

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Only cares for test and project, didn't matter if you get 100 on the homework.

As straight forward as can be. If you put in the effort and follow directions, you will be fine. Grades kind of harsh, but I think he just wants you to be better. It really helped for the exams.

He expects you to know the material and wont go over if you dont understand. Hes very a very arrogant and rude person. Just avoid him and take a different professor.

I checked out this prof's rating before I took the class and it was a bit intimidating--I almost didn't take him. Then I noticed that people's negative ratings were posted while they were still in the class (because no grades). The bad ratings on here did not live up to my expectations. If you work and ask questions, you'll learn!! That's college!!

He teaches by using what you know and doesn't really show you how to do the math but rather question you on steps till you get there, and for someone like me who doesn't know much math it takes a lot to learn how to do so without exactly being taught
