Reviews of professor Jean-Baptiste Urtecho

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
5 exams total!!! really hard class (anatomy is a hard subject) but you just have to study and read especially on your own. His lectures are really fast but if you study his powerpoints and study guides on your own time, you will pass. Study guides show what will be on exam. Extra credit is given throughout semester

No matter what people say, he is not a good professor. He expects you to learn the lecture by yourself at home and then he only reads and rushes through it in class. You dont learn anything. Only thing good about him is that he gives a few extra credit. Hes exams are hard!

Despite what the other comments say, I think professor Urtecho is great. It's not an easy class but it's the subject/material, not the professor's fault. Take it from me, I rely on this site to choose my professors too. He is a cool young man overall. He does his best to explain with detail to ensure you understand. Will definitely take BIO5 w/ him

He knows his stuff but cannot teach at all. Overall I would not recommend this professor.

Urtecho's class is difficult b/c he does go through lectures very fast. Record his lectures and go to his office hours because it will help you when it comes to trying to learn the information. Grades are fully based off of exams and E/C. The material you have to learn is indeed difficult but thats just the class.

Be ready to learn the material on your own. All he does is copy and paste info from the book onto his slides that contain too much information to be able to keep up with in lectures. He doesn't elaborate on anything and when asked he just repeats what he just read off of the slides. There is no homework so your grade will be based solely on tests.

Tests come straight from the PowerPoint and study guides. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! You get more clarification if you do and its super helpful if you want to get a good grade. He truly cares about his students succeeding in his class and is there for you, you just have to put in the effort. Hes awesome and funny I really enjoyed his class. Good luck!

Mr. U is in my top 3 professors. Will he just flat out give you tips and charts? No, but if you ask for these things during office hours he is more than willing to do so! He won't make you feel dumb for asking the same question or have an attitude if you'd like for him to clarify lecture. STUDY STUDY STUDY and go to office hours  A. No shortcuts!

Urtecho is alright, it would really help if he gave us practice questions for upcoming exams. All you do in this class are exams, you never turn anything in. So you really have to study ASAP everyday because the exams depend on your grade. Luckily he drops the lowest exam score. Teaching style is okay, he just simplifies the material.

Hes a great professor and really takes the time to help you after class.
