Reviews of professor Jose Rodriguez

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His lecture are basically the textbook word-for-word and he will often refer us to the textbook instead of answering questions directly. He tries to pack too much content into a lecture so the last 5 minutes are super rushed. Overall lecture quality is not great. I will say the exams usually consist of straight forward (relatively easy) questions.

He puts the least amount of effort into teaching that I have ever seen. He puts no effort into lectures, which are just copy pastes of the slides on a projector. Not only this but he also reads the slides word for word. If you cannot read in English this is helpful, but considering we have full access to the textbook this is not the most effective.

Unqualified professor in the math department. His lecture is a complete waste of time, and you have to finish all the stupid "participation survey" "participation HW" that count for the grade. BTW his HW also needs references to the book or what he taught in class(which is nothing). MATH 443 is a joke.

He basically copy-pastes from our textbook to a PowerPoint then reads off of it for 50 minutes. Do not recommend taking his class. He prioritizes memorizing formulas over understanding the material.

I had Jose for linear algebra in the summer. Very underrated professor. Class is a lot of work but it was very well structured.

Worst professor in the math department. Too many HW. He didn't teach anything in class. We have to study on our own and we have to take the ridiculous HW.
