Reviews of professor Nathan Lopez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He's soo lazy takes months to grade 2 exams and 3 quizzes. Doesn't care about his student's success, the homework he assigns does not match the material we learn in class or what we see on the midterm. Gives a lot of useless papers with no solutions to check answers. I DO NOT RECOMMEND for those who haven't taken calc before. SAVE YOURSELF...

Some professors simply teach. This one educates.

I'll be blunt. 163 isn't a class you'll do well in without putting in work. Don't sleep on this class. Prof. Nathan posts his lecture notes online. This is your lifeline. Nathan is probably the most understanding professor I've had, go to his office hours and talk to him if you have any trouble. It's a hard class but he truly wants you to succeed.

Nate is okay, he lectures a lot and expects you to understand the work, but this teaching method works for me personally. There are not many homework assignments and he gives you more than enough time to complete it. There is only 1 test and the final is a project that you get to work on with a group of your choice.

He seems nice and an easy grader. He also gives a lot of worksheets and practice problems. But his teaching style can be a bit unorganized, and he takes a really long time to get grades back.

Forget this guy man. He ain't worth ones time. He says he understands that we are college students, but really doesn't. He teaches the class as if we are in advance in CS already, like no, it's a beginners class for a reason. 2 midterms, 8 hws(drops lowest), and cumlative final. He's a nice guy, but not the person you would want to learn from.

I took Professor Lopez in Chicano/a Studies R101 in Fall 2020 online. He was very clear with the criteria he was looking for in discussions and papers and was very generous with extra credit. Do the readings and understand the Key Terms for his tests and you will do great!

MATH 108 is a class taken for students who do not need math in their fields of study. Homework is almost impossible, he makes problems out of thin air and gives them to his students before he words them out. Meaning he was not able to give strong feedback and answer questions.

With a big smile,

Totally violates his own syllabus
Voids entire sections of the grade and hands out free % instead
Cancels class, sometimes twice a week
Gives useless worksheets that are completely unrelated to exams
NEVER prepares you for the final, which is horrendous compared to midterms
Takes literally 2 months+ to return midterm & quizzes
