Reviews of professor Manuel Duran

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took him for COSC-1337, not sure why it's not showing up. trash. The instructions took forever to figure out, I spent most of my time figuring out exactly what he wanted which felt like a waste since I had to teach myself what to do the entire semester. Plus, the graded pre-assessments are so dumb. Why are we getting graded on a PRE-assessment??

The syllabus is unclear- confusing due dates
Poor response time- takes days to respond to emails
Poor instructions- you'll spend more time deciphering instructions then doing the assignment 
Poor reading materials - don't prepare you for quizzes
A terrible professor especially for online courses

He's goes to fast to understand. The class is a little confusing but after awhile, you get use to it and it becomes a little easier. Sometimes you don't have to show up.

Bad enough this guy ignores his online students, but his curriculum is 10 years out of date. What's the point in taking a web design class that uses outdated coding techniques and ides?

BCIS is not meant to be an easy class but Mr Duran made it enjoyable. The class assignments are broken up by week, what I would do was get my assignments done on monday and just go back wednesday to take my quiz and leave within 20 minutes. If you show him you care about the class he will help you out. Attendance counts for a grade. GOTTA STUDY

It was like an online class, but we had to go to class. Learning was mostly through doing homework and watching videos. I had a very poor experience.

This class is not super difficult because there is a lot of flexibility he gives you.

Not a fan. A Pre-Assessment due 4 days into the semester and you couldn't find it. 67 questions with a mixture of multiple choice, fill in the blanks, and multiple sets of matching and repeated questions. You only get 50 min (est. 45 sec/question). Get 90 on it and you only have to do assignments. His response time was within hours that's a plus.
