Reviews of professor Philip Puente

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've taken 3 different professors for 1329 (for better or worse), but Professor Puente was by far the best professor for this class. His lectures are easy to follow so you can actually learn how to do calculus. His reviews are also very helpful for the tests. about 2 homeworks a week but they aren't all that difficult.

Tests are a lot like the reviews he gives us. He often times makes a lot of mistakes during the lectures as well which I've caught a lot of the time. Homeworks are an easy A.

Doesnt respond to emails, answers on the homework are wrong. Lectures are awful. He goes too fast.

He is the worst. He confuses himself during lectures which makes it even harder to take notes, I don't know how many times me and my classmates had to correct his math. All around just not a good lecturer.

Dr. Puente isn't the most personable professor but gives a lot of clear examples during his lectures. This class is homework and lecture heavy. I read the book, went to class, did the homework and made a B. He gives out exam reviews that are identical to the tests. Not the most enjoyable class due to his lack of engagement but I would take again.

Do the review! He sends us reviews similar to exams and you can do it at math cats and get a good grade!

I am not the smartest person in the world when it comes to math but this professor made the subject very manageable to learn. Overall a great guy and an even better professor.

As long as you do the homeworks and take good notes its youll pass. Tests arent too long be sure to do the review at least some of it bc its pretty much identical to the test

Great lecturer! Notes are pretty important to understand content, they especially can help with homework, which you do weekly. His lectures are great, and his reviews are excellent. All test concepts are covered by the reviews, and I've never aced a test before this class. Overall really likable professor and a great class to take

He gets a bad wrap, overall if you have a basic math foundation you'll pass his class. I feel like he expects you to look over the material and practice with the homework he give out. He more like a hit or miss as a professor depending on how your classmates engage during lecture. Definitely recommend him for MATH 1319 at least.

I was scared to take his class because of the reviews, but it's not hard. He goes fast. Every test was just like the review so if you did it, you would easily pass the test. There's weekly homework really easy and unlimited attempts, sometimes it can be a lot. He does sometimes make small passive-aggressive comments
