Reviews of professor Jean-Baptiste Urtecho

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took him for Human Physiology at Gavilan College. Lectures are online. Lab was held by other. He sounds like a robot;monotone. He only gave out 4 exams which were proctored online via zoom. Extra credit is available but u need to pay 100$ to access it via Mcgraw Hill Connect; each assignment is only worth 1-2 points and takes 1-5 hrs to do each.

Mr. U is very lenient with his students but he doesn't know how to teach, all he does is reading off from the slides. I recommend going to SI sessions, Ly actually explains difficult concepts better than him. I passed with an A because of all the extra credits but I don't feel ready for nursing school or even the next level, Bio6.

I think Mr. U is a good professor. I am currently taking BIO5 with him. Even though I am barely passing the class, I still commend him for being so knowledgable. And it is not the professor's fault. I just do not have enough time for studying nor I am not ready for nursing. It takes hard work to get a deserving grade.

(I took Bio&175@SPSCC) Long lectures that go off-topic, incomplete sentences, and answers on tests. Large group project about pathogens at the end. super difficult quizzes and tests. He's hard to follow and understand, it's more rambling than teaching. It's better to teach yourself the subject. I'm an A student and this class just about killed me.

Go to his office hours and ask questions. Professor Utrecho is patient, kind & cares about his students success. If anything is confusing, ask for clarification. This class was not easy by any means, but, if you put the work in, you will succeed! Textbook isnt necessary, the tests are straight from the PowerPoint and study guides.

Very easy class. His study guides tell you exactly whats on the exams. There are 5 exams and he drops the worst one. If you buy the textbook with the McGraw, there is a ton of extra credit. Lectures are pretty long, but he tells you what to focus on exactly. One assignment every lecture. Lab is pretty short but very helpful So attend.
