Reviews of professor Santos Ramos

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lots of assigned reading and work, but I learned a ton and he is pretty easy on you if you put in the effort. He was very understanding.

Dr Ramos is very nice and a good professor for LIB201. However, there are an unnecessary amount of papers/work in this class, especially for it being a gen ed. Participation counts for a large % of your overall grade, and attendance is counted each class. He is nice but lecutres and readings can be boring at times. I probably would not take again

So many 5-6 page papers I was not having it. And I thought his Food Matters class was more about nutrition going into it but that is not at all what it is about. It is about ethnic food groups and how they are underrepresented in the "healthy" category. He was very boring to listen to and you can only miss one class before your grade deducted

Professor Ramos has the best online format ever; it's so easy to access. The balance of homework is fantastic and his schedule is laid out very clearly. He gives great feedback. He is also extremely kind with deadlines and feedback. I love his class.

Prof Ramos is incredibly understanding about due dates and the needs of students. He made attending in person optional, but a big part of the class is participation. Lectures were interesting, and you get to watch a movie and a few episodes. You write a few papers then do a creative synthesis project at the end. I definitely recommend him/the class

While attendance isn't mandatory, participation is. If you don't attend you do work online. He's super understanding about deadlines and moved almost all of ours back. The final project is easy enough if you just put in the effort. I thought the class was kind of pointless but at least he's a decent teacher. Assignments seem hard but aren't.

Arguably the BEST professor I have ever had through my college experience. He was so mindful during the Covid pandemic and worked with his students during hard times. Our grades were overall based on participation and projects. He was a very quick responder to emails if you get the chance. TAKE DS 201 WITH PROFESSOR RAMOS!!!

Professor Ramos is a great professor because of his understanding, awareness, and knowledge. His criteria for papers is unclear at times but he clarifies when asked to. Amazing professor!

1st yr teaching at GVSU and was super helpful! He has so many valuable experiences to share about his research and from his leadership roles. The class requires a lot of readings, so keep up with that so you can add to discussions and have information for your papers. There is a big group assignment at the end. No exams. Just outside essays.
