Reviews of professor Sergio Orozco

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He doesn't give examples to better understand the material. Tests are also not related to the notes.

Makes students feel dumb for answering sometimes. Did not feel like I could go to him for questions. He's strict, doesn't grade anything in a timely manner. There's very few times when I don't like a professor for who they are and this is one of those times.

he reviews every concept immediately before you take an exam plus gives ample amounts of extra credit. He gives relatively difficult exams but does provide formulas and constants or lets you make a notecard. He also drops the lowest quiz and lab grade. The homework is very tough and can just confuse you more. Labs are fun and actually quite helpful

He is kind and gives good lectures...I didn't need to read the book. The concepts became so clear when he explained them and everything made sense. He gave lots of incredibly difficult online labs that were almost impossible. The tests had a massive curve so a D would be a B or an A. He gave extra credit.

I took Professor Orozco Fall of 2020. Physics 2B was not a joke. You definitely have to ask questions if you DO NOT understand a concept, question, or what the lab is talking about. We had a lot of extra credit given, but most people still didn't do well because they didn't try at all. You need to try. Go to office hours and ask questions.

Considering this was PHYS2B, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. He teaches live lectures and posts his lectures on canvas. Watch the videos ahead of class and take notes and then attend his class. There are a lot of them, but he isn't hard on his grading. If you follow his schedule and will do most assignments he gives, you'll pass.

Every exam offers 3%+ extra credit. No homework, only suggested homework. Must attend lectures, because he gives group work, if you miss the group work it's basically -1%. The exams are sorta-semi similar to exams, but not really. You must understand the concepts very well conceptually. The most you do mathematically is integrate and derive.

His lecture material is nothing like the exams. Do not take him in person

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He only teaches from error-ridden, messy videos that are pre-recorded from multiple semesters ago, so you never actually talk to him in person. He also takes WEEKS to grade things. Winter semester has already started and he still hasn't given out final grades for Fall. Ironic, since if you turn something in a few minutes late, he can't count it.

He gave a ton of lectures and homework and expected it to be completed super quick which was incredibly difficult. But he gave tons of extra credit opportunities on the tests and if you did the homework, you can pass the tests. He procrastinates grading REALLY badly. Like 13 weeks of grades in the last three days. I never used the textbook.
