Reviews of professor Cristian Rivera

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I LOVE Cristian! I took Yang the first time I took 315 and I got a D. Took it again in the summer with Cristian and got an A!! This is one of the hardest classes I've ever taken, but he is so caring and really wants you to pass and he will help you with whatever you are struggling with. Seriously, BEST TEACHER EVER. If you have the option, pick him

Rivera is just ridiculous in my opinion. He gives you 10 quizzes that are worth 100% for your final grade. He tries to trick you on the quizzes, which in my opinion is absolutely ridiculous. We are all just trying to pass. He makes things as difficult as possible. I would avoid him at all costs. you get homework with 300 pts. tests worth 550. AVOID

Only assignments are papers and exams. He posts the slides on Moodle. You do need the textbook class activities and for the papers. He gives really good lectures, and a super nice guy.

It was a hard class to take for most and extremely difficult for those that already struggle with math. He's pretty nice and is helpful to students when they ask for it. His view of the class changed his approach to grading (ex: got rid of bonus points on tests). Borderline indifferent/impatient towards students by the end of the semester.
