Reviews of professor Nestor Azcona

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Azcona is better than most say. If you do the readings or at least look up the terms used in the reading questions and answer the questions about them when he asks you will get 100% participation. The tests are easy but do not just study the practice exams, keep the review sheets and study them as well and you will do great.

Super nice guy and gets to the point in his lectures. As long as you show up and take notes you will be more than fine. It is not hard to do well. Weekly online quizzes that are open note that boosts your grade. Tests are straight forward and he gives study guides of almost exactly what is on the exam. Definetly recommend taking him!

I didn't have much of an issue with his class. It's the same structure every class/week and isn't too hard to keep up with. Exams aren't easy but studying in advance is helpful. He gives you a practice one for each which helps. He knows what he's talking about he just sometimes goes through things quickly. Participation helps a lot w grade too.

DO NOT take this class, whatever you do, do not take this class. He is a terrible professor to have and I would rather drop out of school than take his class again. Can't understand anything he says and the tests have nothing to do with what he goes over in class and homework. Terrible teacher, terrible class, I am warning you to never take him.

Ive never dropped a class so quick. He cold calls and expects the right answer. If you get the answer wrong when he calls on you then he pretty much embarrass you in front of the class for not knowing.

If you can avoid, do not take him.

This class is very well structured with minimal homework each week, but challenging tests. Prof. Azcona provides plenty of resources to succeed on exams and gives lots of extra credit. He is a nice and funny guy who rewards you for participating in class and is a reasonable grader if you put forth some effort.

Lecture is boring, but he is super smart, just ask if you're confused. Do the weekly problem sets, participate at least once per class and do the exam review and you'll be fine. Hardest part of the class is the multiple choice on the tests. No cumulative final just 3-unit tests. Can miss 5 classes and drops 2 lowest quiz grades, they're online.

Professor Azcona's rating shouldn't be this low. Econ 202 is just a tough course, not his fault that he teaches difficult material. Still got an A- in the class even with an exam average of 80. Participate like once a class and you'll get a 100 for participation. Online quizzes due every week but they are open note and pretty easy.

He is incredibly difficult as a teacher, as he is not good at explaining things.
