Reviews of professor Ivan Sandoval-Cervantes

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Sandoval-Cervantes is great! Amid the pandemic, classes were pushed online and he did very well with the transition. There is a recorded lecture each week + a weekly quiz. The quiz isn't hard, as long as you do the notes from the lecture. You get two free quizzes, and he even skipped a few throughout the semester. 2 essays and final essay

One of the best professors at UNLV. He makes anthropology very easy to understand and he makes it very interesting as well. Although the class was entirely online, it was very enjoyable and easy.

Definitely one of the easier classes, and Ivan was there to help and adjust things throughout the semester. The class is pretty much based on a weekly quiz, the midterm and final. He provides you with some reading material every week which is usually pretty long, but gives you the answers to the quizzes. He also communicated with the class often.

ANTH101 was an easy and straight forward class with this professor. The modules were all laid out ahead of time and instructions were clear. The lectures had subtitles, which was really nice. 100% recommend this professor.

Professor Sandoval-Cervantes is a sweetheart, I'm not joking. Because of COVID, his class was online, but he did his absolute best to make the class enjoyable. His lectures were interesting and we had weekly quizzes which were not too difficult at all, along with a few writing assignments. Overall, he was an amazing professor! Highly recommend!

One of the easiest classes that I've taken this semester. The grades were only based on the weekly 5 question quiz and two papers. There was no final! He was also very lenient on grading and paper extensions.

Iván is special. Taking his 304 class altered + expanded my comprehension of Mexican culture and identity. I'm sad it was online, but he offered great, though dense, readings to aid. He is caring and challenges students to be very original in their ideas/interpretations of the topics. Truly a one-of-a-kind professor. :-)

This class was not hard at all! There were a lot of readings each week, but you could manage by skimming and looking at the powerpoints instead for the quizzes. There were two short essay questions that were honestly really interesting to write about. Overall, I loved this class!

Easiest class Ive taken in college so far. Im only a Freshman, but trust me itll be your easiest class. I would take it if youre taking rigorous courses and need an easy one or if its an option for your prereqs.

Didn't overload with homework. The PowerPoint lectures answer the quizzes each week. There are 2 short essays, super easy, and 1 short essay for the final. Overall, a great class!
