Reviews of professor Antonio Hernandez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
What an amazing professor. Super easy to speak to if you are lost. The assignments are stuff that you actually learn and code in class. Wish every professor was like Hernandez Take him.

This class was alright, the lectures he provides are close to useless so I suggest you just stick with the book and ignore the lectures. My biggest issue would be that grades for assignments and quizzes took away too long to show up (some of them took a whole month). Midterm, final, assignments and quizzes are all fairly easy if you study the book.

We reviewed Big Oh. We studied Divide and Conquer, Dynamic Programming, Combinatorial Optimization, a  bit of computational geometry, randomization, combinatorial search, graph theory, etc. The professor is really knowledgeable. Also, it was so cool to do assignments that have to do with unsolved problems in CS. We covered the Symmetric TSP.

His class was composed of multiple discussions and homework assignments, 2 quizzes, and a proctored midterm and final. There was always an assignment due every two calendar days but that's also because the class was compressed from 16 to 6 weeks (Summer A). Overall, apart from the heavy work, the work was still not hard and it was a good course.

Awful.
He did not lecture at all, and instead provided long powerpoint presentations that "covered" the modules.
The assignments and quizzes were easy but had questions where the slides didn't help at all.
And the 2 proctored exams tested your memorization skills rather than knowledge on data mining.
Zero communication on his part either.

Hernandez while being an amazing professor gets a bad wrap from the difficulty for many freshman. The course itself is harder than most and sometimes unintuitive, but Hernandez does try his best and is always open to answering questions to help you better understand the subject. Don't let his rating push you away from taking the course.

Statics is a difficult class but Hernandez's lectures make the concepts very clear. He does 1 or 2 problems throughout the lecture which really helps you to understand the concepts and process. Exams were very fair. Most of his bad reviews here are students that are mad about things that are their own fault. Hernandez truly cares about students.

Students will ask questions and if the professor will dismiss or say rewatch the lecture as a response to confusion

Prof. Hernandez is a solid professor. He moves quickly through lectures, but it's only because he is limited on time. Outside of lectures, like in office hours, he's more than happy to help students with homework and practice problems. Hernandez seems to strive for keeping the material interesting and keeping the exams fair.
