Reviews of professor Luis Barajas Saldana

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
At first the class was fun and entertaining, although no one ever knows what's happening. We had no due dates for the assignments and then out of nowhere he began grading assignments, causing multiple students to have failing grades. The class is all over the place, and while it is easy it feels pointless and stressful.

The professor is very unclear and gives no helpful information for his lectures. He has no due dates, but when students have a plan for when to do certain assignments he decides to implement due dates. He also takes a long time to be able to grade your work and overall is a confusing class. The workload isn't excessive but participation matters.

On the contrary to other reviews, Professor Barajas is a really good professor. Yes, he has an accent and English is not his first language, but he is clearly very passionate in his field. There are 3 exams, 5 HW's and a final project worth 25%.

He is a really nice professor. He always gets back to you and the homework isn't hard at all. The labs were straight forward and you can tell he cares about this field. Highly recommend him!

Dont listen to the other reviews, this professor is so sweet and caring. He extended deadlines so many times and really tries to make sure you not only pass the class but get an A. The work is a cake walk, not much effort required. He is extremely open and willing to work with you and your situation. Follow the syllabus outlineand youll get an A.

Very heavy on group work. It was hard to find due dates for homework and projects, and was unclear during class when announcing homework. However he wasn't the worst- if you show up to class and do your work you'll get an A, and if you lose points on something he's very understanding you can just email him and most times he'll let you make it up.

During the pandemic, Professor Luis was very easygoing and made sure we excelled. Our in person lectures had to be cut in half yet even that short time was very enjoyable

Hes very easy going. This class is very heavy on reading but all the texts he assigned to us was very interesting so it wasnt that bad.

overall the class wasnt to bad. However, Professor Barajas has an accent and it makes it difficult to understand him sometimes. He is very strict and isnt very clear all the time. You cant leave the class at any moment even if you have to use the bathroom. I wouldnt recommend him

Really informative and likes to engage with his students. Though, grading criteria and due dates are not clear. Keep in contact with him so that you get a better understanding of what's expected from you. Science is not my best, but he did make it a fun and interesting class.
