Reviews of professor Luis Ortiz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Best professor I have ever had. Very difficult but be patient and study hard. He is very accessible and cares a lot about his students. His projects are very hard but they help you grow a lot. Learned a lot in this course but it really is challenging. If you like a challenge and like to self learn take Professor Ortiz

Unfortunately, I found him to be very bad at explaining. Many agree with me. I had trouble hearing what he is saying because his sentences are convoluted and difficult to decipher. He didn't show examples of any questions put on the final. Tests are long. I held an A all semester and thought I lost it last second, but he curved. 90% is an A. Avoid.

He is so nice and helpful. He is one of the best teachers.

Like many, this was the most challenging class and professor I've ever experienced. It took a lot of mental strength to power through. His pace is blistering fast, and most of the class he's going on some insane incomprehensibly advanced math proof tangent. Make friends with the TA immediately or plan to attend his office hours for 1on1.

Very Long assignments and exams, goes off topic in class a lot, difficult coding assignments, expected to have an understanding of algorithms beforehand. have to learn by yourself, will allow some extensions, ready to help in office hours, heavy lectures, take another proff if you can.

I found him to be not that great at explaining the content of the course. Also, all lectures are theoretical and not much emphasis is given for the coding part of it but then we were expected to complete all the coding assignments. So you just need to do a lot of extra work by yourself to ace this course.

Lectures dont really help for the homework or the coding, does not upload grades, poor coding and test cases

Assigns insane projects that take forever to complete and the lectures do not prepare you enough for them. The homework assignments were the only tolerable things in the class. The exams are EXTREMELY long and difficult (The first exam was 20 pages, with only an hour and a half to complete it). DO NOT TAKE HIM!!

His lecture are incredibly difficult to follow. He's obviously very smart and is an expert on the subject he teaches but he's incredibly confusing and hard to understand. It doesn't help also that work he assigns is very difficult.

He is not a tough grader, but it is nearly impossible to get an email reply from him. He rarely left feedback. It was an online class, and it was almost like we did not have a professor at all. Having so little instruction from him was stressful and I would not recommend or take again.
