Reviews of professor Octavio Ortiz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
A lot of people struggled in the class and dropped it, I only did my homework and got an A. He really wants all of his students to get to Dynamics. You only see him a day of the weeks and the class itself is hard but he gives awesome notes and tries to simplify everything.

Octavio is a great instructor, but he lacks clarity in his assignments. Sometimes they can be confusing on how they are worded. He is initially organized and has a good workflow but be careful because he likes to try and improve his teaching methods. So 12 weeks in he will drastically change how assignments are done and that may throw you off.

Note: My class was online, no Zoom. Professor Ortiz really wants his students to pass. He did a great job making lecture videos for the homework assignments and goes out of his way to help students. If you really try, there's no reason not to pass this class. Also, the book wasn't necessary because his videos taught what was needed for homework.

Bad jokes, but easy to talk to. He cares about his students. But get ready for his bad jokes. All semester

Mr. Ortiz was hands down my favorite teacher during the semester. He is very caring about his students and lectures often felt like I was just there to hang out! 

He explained concepts in class very clearly, and would provide help when needed without making you feel ashamed. He's the kind of professor you're not scared to ask questions to!
