Reviews of professor Francisco Portillo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Straight to the point guy, clear assignments, lectures, grading. Post lectures/ assignments on regular schedule, quick grading & email response. Very nice. EPCC is double charging us for Labs. Paid for online Labster $50, plus EPCC continues to charge a $20lab fee--immoral. Labster is a good simulation, I prefer to in-person. Just ashamed of EPCC.

Dr. Francisco Portillo is a Great teacher overall. He is punctual , very knowledgeable and easy to understand when lecturing. You don't have to take notes during class being he uploads all power points he uses to lecture on BlackBoard. You are able to create your own notes to use during Quiz's but not exams . Extra Credit is given to boost grades.

Took his class in the summer of 2020, easy class. Although you do have to purchase access for Pearson because he assigns assignments there every week.

Easy class, very easy assignments, he drops lowest exam and quiz grade. The only way you can fail is if you procrastinate and are lazy. He gives reviews for exams if you study that you should be good. You have 5 unexcused absences before he drops your grade

Great class! I would recommend, however there is a lot of add on programs you need to purchase for the online class, we used Pearson for the class and Labster simulations for the lab portion. Weekly assignments, there is about 3 or 4 easy assignment a week and 4 test throughout the semester. He responds to emails and works with his students.

He provides you with extra credit. He gives quizzes but you can use your notes or the PowerPoint slides you can print out Via blackboard. He does have reviews to his tests, his test dont super mirror the reviews but super close and gives extra credit on each tests at least 10 points worth. Hes kinda dry for lecture but shoot he was easy

Mr. Portillo was amazing, he was clear and engaging in lectures and labs. The homework was simple, the quizzes were open book, the tests were just like the reviews given. This class was great not only informative but fun, I would recommend this professor to everyone. He also gives extra credit opportunities which are simple and fun.

his classes were little bit tough because there were too many homework and quiz. He also worked with student and gave better chance to get good grade.

Dr. Portillo is great. He is heavy on lectures and not everything on the video or PPP lecture is on the exams. The exams are not easy so be prepared to work for your grade. Took both the lab and lecture with him online. He has two programs Labster and Pearson and one group project. However, you gain knowledge, he is caring and offers extra credit
