Reviews of professor Dennis Aguirre

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took this professor during the COVID pandemic while classes were online. This professor made the semester the hardest for no reason. Each week we were expected to do three assignments plus the readings. His response papers were extremely long and verbatim. I do not recommend this professor especially for a 100 level course.

This guy has made me cry. He is horribly patronizing and do not expect empathy if you have disability accommodations. He will flat out reject them. When I asked for a day's extension (several days before the due date) on a small paper he scolded me and told me to manage my time better. I was literally just diagnosed with fibro and dysautonomia.

Prof Aguirre's class was weird. It was cool to learn about everything, but it was easy to tell he was going heavily off the book and his notes. I also didn't enjoy the assignments. He preferred everyone's work to be a carbon copy of what he wanted to hear. He'd also say things were going to be really important and then never mention them again.

I really enjoyed his class! His assignments are clear and really if you follow the rubric, you'll be fine. He takes attendance randomly, so that's a little annoying. But overall, I really liked the professor and he's very approachable if you need help.

Dr. Aguirre knows what he is talking about and is very passionate about what he teaches. He is always willing to support students and is flexible with assignments. Attendance is taken randomly. Exam material comes straight from lectures. There are 3 response papers, a midterm, and a final (both with written portions). Write down everything.

Dr. Aguirre is a fine professor, I just found the lectures and readings dry.

He has a good setup for online classes. Although there are a couple of papers to write, they are pretty spaced out, so you have time to work on them. Overall a good class.

There is not one good thing to say about this man as a professor or as a person. I took his class with high hopes of learning about my culture but it is a very awful class. Its nothing but textbook reading and documentaries. He doesnt teach anything. When he grades, hes unbelievably harsh and doesnt offer any help, even if you talk to him.

He is a good person and crazy smart, but lectures the whole time in a very boring way. The readings are super dry and hard to read.

Hands down best professor Ive ever had. As mentioned above, he is lecture heavy and pushes his students. For some students this style might not be a right fit, but if you go in with an open mind and a good work ethic youll improve your work immensely. He gives assignments that are valuable to your growth as a student and as a professional. 10/10
