Reviews of professor Carlos Rincon

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
There will be weekly labs and a monthly exam. Taking this class as a beginner was difficult because of the large learning curve of programming. He is very knowledgeable about C++ and his lectures are fast, but his accent makes it hard to follow at times. He is a very caring and understanding person and will help you during tests.

An extremely knowledgeable professor that would go out of his way for each and every student in the classroom! He definitely does move a little quick, but studying some outside of the classroom will more than make up for it. Rincon prioritizes teaching algorithmic thinking in his classes, a powerful skill for any developer to have. Would recommend!

Rincon is an amazing professor and is a must take for OS. His class is graded on 3 hws and 3 exams. The hws are tedious but are great for learning the material it covers, make sure to start these early as c++ and what he has you do can make it a pain to debug. His exams are average to difficult but he allows a cheat sheet so its not too bad.

Professor Rincon is very clear and helpful in lectures and in office hours. Prepare good cheatsheets for the exams. Work on the PAs ASAP and get help just as quick so you don't fall behind.

Lectures are very long but cover everything you need to know. The professor is very respectful to his students and always answers questions in class. He also records all lectures and posts the powerpoints online. There is very little homework and exams aren't hard as you're allowed to use 1 sheet of notes (front and back).

Patient, lenient, organized, inspirational, the list goes on. Not a lot of professors in UH CS department are as this good anymore, take him if you can! He made OS much easier and far less daunting than it sounds, and don't be scared to ask him a couple of questions during the test as he might just give you the answer ;)
