Reviews of professor Gabriel Villegas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not sure why the other comments on here are so negative. He was decent at lecturing, his PowerPoints were good for studying, he set up a class chat so that we could easily ask questions, and his exams werent that bad in my opinion. You do have to do a quiz every week but it is unlimited time and he usually says the answer/has it in the PowerPoint.

He is a good professor, and his notes are pretty good. Pre-class quizzes and homework every week, and 4 exams. All open book. Exams are pretty straightforward but difficult, but he offers extra credit on all exams. He is good, but the material is brutal so it made the class unenjoyable, however he does his best to help you. Study hard to pass.

The first day of class he told us to read and learn the lessons from the textbook so you can be prepared when he talks about it in class. It went downhill from there.

Dr. Villegas is a good professor who seems to genuinely care about his students. He is very generous in terms of grading and extra credit. You need to attend lectures regularly if you want to keep up, but he is a great lecturer and makes understanding a very complex subject easy. Certified chiller, indeed.

Dr. Villegas is a nice/funny professor. The course is definitely challenging but its very fair. Weekly quizzes with no time limit. Gave an extra credit assignment. Responds well to emails. Holds a weekly review session. If you work hard then you'll do fine in his class.

the lectures are just reused recordings from a previous semester, and so are the powerpoints. he makes mistakes in his lectures and on his powerpoints and does not correct them so its up to you to fact check things he says. if youre taking it in the summer its a lot of hours of lecture to watch per week, but he responds to emails really fast.

Certified chiller. The course is hard because biochem is a hard subject. He teaches well, is very personable, and is always helping his students out. Great guy overall, I'm assuming the poor ratings are from when the class was online.

The negative comments are most likely from online because in person Dr V was a really good prof. His exams were super fair if you went to lecture and put in effort outside class. Plus he has a personality, so the lectures weren't really that boring. Def would recommend taking him if you have the option.

villegas isn't a lecturer. biochemistry is a tough topic, but he makes it infinitely harder for himself and his students by talking at 1.5x speed for 80 minutes, posting slides that are confusing, making mistakes with exams, lectures, and forgetting to post hw. students only come to class in case they're called on and risk losing 5% of their grade.
