Reviews of professor Javier Rivera

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Javier is the nicest professor I've ever had, hands down. It is very obvious that he genuinely cares about you and your learning. If you turn stuff in on time, then you'll be good to go. He is always willing to help struggling students. His "discover the math" teaching style is unique. I can't praise him enough.

Professor Rivera is an awesome person. He tries his best not to be intimidating and understands that math can be challenging for some people. Class was very laid back with group projects and no tests. Instead, there were concepts we had to master. He does not grade quickly, but gives feedback in class. Not sure how much I actually learned though.

Javier is a great guy and he is also an awesome professor, he really makes sure that students understand the content and always asks you questions to get your thinking on the right track. Don't expect to come to a normal lecture everyday, Javier is much more creative when it comes to methods of teaching.

Javier is a good guy, and he often shows that he cares and respects his students. His grading system is different, and instead of having exams he gives take home problems that can range from easy to pretty hard, but he makes it pretty easy to get a good grade. He usually likes to spend most of the time doing group work .

Javier is an amazing professor. He will get to know you by name and really makes sure that you are doing the best that you can be. Participation is key in this class and you will most definitely be asked to give your thought process on how you did a problem. Javier is extremely funny and equally intelligent. You should take his class.

Javier is easily the best teacher or professor ive had throughout my entire career of education. Always willing to help, always extremely happy and genuine. Also, deeply cares about the students happiness and wellbeing outside of the classroom, which ive never really experienced before.

This was my last and most difficult class to take before graduation. At first, the lectures weren't doing it for me. He favors peer to peer working sessions for class. I started going to his office hours almost every day of class and helped me understand sooooo much more. He's also one of the kindest and most down to earth professors there is.

He works hard to make sure everyone in the class feels confident before tests & knows what hes talking about. He believes in his students & makes them think and work for the grade they get. Highly recommend, hes the BEST!!!!

One of the nicest professors you will ever meet and his class style of lots of group work can be really beneficial if you apply yourself and pay attention.
