Reviews of professor Jose Fernandez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took this class because it was recommended so highly from other students. Professor Fernandez delivered on his excellent reputation. He is so relaxed, and explains the material so clearly that you will definitely succeed.

Best Philosophy professor ever! Relatively easy grader and he is talking at you the whole time in class. As long as you pay attention to his main points in class, you should be fine. The midterm was easy.

I absolutely loved this class! I took it in five weeks and I was so scared about the group work but it worked out so well and I couldn't have been happier with this class. He gives you extra credit just for working in groups and gives amazing feedback to help. The work was straight forward and super easy and all in the book. I would take it again

VERY lecture heavy, with graded participation but little opportunity to get a word in. He is very nice in class, very easygoing, and only has three fairly easy assignments a semester. HOWEVER, he is extremely rude over email. Passive aggressive and narcissistic honestly. Time and time again. Would take again, but there's that to consider...

By far the worst teaching style I've witnessed thus far in college. Nothing taught in class or on the homework translates to the tests. Tests count 40% of the grade, fail one and done! Mathlab is such a useless tool! I learned nothing from this professor or this course!!!

Nice professor! One midterm which he gives the answers for, a midterm paper, and a final paper. For the papers as long as you follow the format he gives and pay attention to what he says in class you will do great. Participation does matter and a lot of readings, but you can get away with not reading! Definitely take notes! Interesting lectures!

The professor makes the lectures very easy to digest. He is very flexible and you have the chance to take extra credits. I would definitely take another class with him.

avoid this guy at all costs. every class was him reading from the powerpoint for 3.5 hours. tests were 40% of the grade, two per semester for 80%. All multiple choice on the test was memorization of the slides, and know understanding of the concept. took over one month to grade the first test. i hope i never have to take this guy again.

Professor Fernandez is really good and caring. During the whole semester, there are only about four projects, and the final, which you can do individually or in groups. I recommend making groups so it is easier. He gives a lot of extra credit as well. Definitely a good professor.
