Reviews of professor Ian Rodriguez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Good luck on trying to get a straight forward answer. He makes you read the chapters beforehand but then in class , he complain how textbook is ALL Wrong. You either need to get inside of his head or already have good amount knowledge about the topic before taking his class. If the major of the class fail,he will say that it was the students fault

I took his class two years ago but came back to warn y'all. I sadly had to drop the class, which is out of my norm, but this professor was impossible. I had an older edition of the book so my chapters were out of order, which he said was ok, but still belittled me in front of the class by asking me questions he knew I didn't know the answer to. sad

doesn't reply to emails(so not very accessible) plays rock music DURING class&made ppl talk above it he told us to"get inside his mind"when taking his tests(uh,that's impossible) no clear criteria for how he grades assignments lectures about things not in the book no notes or PPTs to help us overall not professional, helpful, or genuinely caring :(

As a Business major, initially, I was excited to to take his class. Not anymore. He doesn't post grades on canvas, his tests are extremely difficult with no guidance, and instructions for the project/presentation were ambiguous. I love most of the Professor's here at MSJC, but he doesn't know how to teach. That's why half the class dropped him.

Ian is a nice guy, but I wouldnt take him again. I was fine with his expectations-he wants his students to critically think. Thats great, but I never felt prepared in that class. I think his lectures need to have more-visuals, mock cases, or at the very least a rubric for the projects so the students know what is expected. His test are very hard!

Im a good student but this guy needs to just stick with being a lawyer. He is not good at teaching. His lectures do not mirror anything on the test. If you ask a question he doesnt take the time to make sure the students understand. Pass on this teacher

This class and teacher is not for the faint of heart! His teaching style is intense. If you lack common sense you will not pass. His exams are more scenario based questions, so it requires critical thinking. If you are unsure about a term or topic, be sure to ASK QUESTIONS. The funnest part of the class were the group projects. READ STUDY READ!
