Reviews of professor Polo Mariscal

DISCLAIMER - *TOOK MATH 115 WITH HIM, WASN'T AN OPTION TO PICK*

Pretty solid teacher, not the best I've had. Explains stuff slowly and very receptive to questions. The class was a lot of work (its 5 credits) but also reasonable because you are learning so much. His English isn't perfect but pretty close. Take him unless there is better rated teach

Great professor! It was my first semester back in 10 years and I could not have asked for a better teacher! Textbook and workbook were provided on campus, he was so easy to work with when I missed deadlines due to work/ family stuff, and he obviously cared about me as a student.

He is a great professor; I hadn't had math for a long time and decided to take his class. Even though he doesn't have a great score rate in my professor, but his assignments prepared me for every test. So, if you do all the assignments, you will get an A.

Professor Mariscals Class definitely taught me the importance about being academically independent, emphasizing to read the book before the lecture which helped immensely. As any class, be prepared to study, watch examples, and read. Your grade will reflect it. He was also able to work alongside my schedule when it came to study hours which helped.

This class was homework-heavy, but the professor sets you up for success. You get three tries on each quiz and exam question, and unlimited tries on homework. He communicates well and understands unforeseen events. The class structure shows he cares about students understanding the material.

While he is very conversational and funny, he lacks the skills to be a good virtual teacher. He pre-recorded hour lectures for you to watch before class. As a result class time on zoom only consisted of tests (participation quizzes, unit tests, pop quizzes, etc.). He is also hard to reach through email. Be prepared to teach yourself this material!

Honestly if you don't get an A in this class that's on you. I hate math and have never received an A before always just C or F's but this professor is really caring! Easiest math class he even gives you the answers you just got to show the work . There's a project he walks you through every single step. The test can made up.

Uses online learning program called Aleks. Homework took me 10-20 hours a week outside of class. Subject matter very difficult. Polo is very caring and patient and will answer any students' questions to help them as much as possible. Very attentive and accessible during office hours. If you show effort, he works with you. Extra credit available.
