Reviews of professor Aleksandr Torres

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Really nice guy, first year teaching so he's just learning the ropes. Get the textbook and do problems from that, they'll be on the exam. Pretty easy course overall

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Nice guy, cares about students' success. Sometimes he might be a bit vague but as long you ask and/or visit his office hours you will be just fine.

I was in Torres' first class so he was just learning the ropes. He teaches directly out of the textbook written by the two other Lin alg profs and highly recommend getting that textbook. They take exact questions from the exam from that textbook, and its easy to learn concepts out of. His tests were pretty fair and not too difficult.

To be fair, it was his first time teaching. Doesn't explain things very well. Better off reading the textbook. Good guy, not experienced in teaching.

I was in Torres first class, and he really didn't know what he was doing, he did try really hard though. He assigned us one textbook that was really not useful but word for word copied another textbook. His tests weren't too hard and neither was the exam if you used the textbook that he copied from. I had an amazing TA, who made the course easy.

Tests were easy if homework questions are done. Sometimes vague on the material but covered all the stuff that was needed for the final which was MC. Copies notes off textbooks but attend his final exam and test prep lectures as the questions are similar on the tests and final.

The course seems hard at first but it turns out to be pretty easy. The professor mainly copies definitions from the textbook but started working in more examples throughout the year. He makes jokes which is good and he laughs at his own jokes. I learned most of it from the Linear Algebra and its Applications smaller textbook by reading through.
