Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Sergio is a great professor. Go to class and participate (ask/answer questions).

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was not hard because of the content but because of the Professor (he is very caring but lack some teaching skills). D2L is disorganized, he grades the rough draft like it is the final draft, his quizzes are due 9am on a Friday, and his assignment instructions are never clear. Overall I would not recommend taking this class.

pros
nice 
approachable 

cons 
teaching style needs improvement 
lacks enough knowledge on the subject to clearly teach it 
tough tests with oftentimes two answers that could be argued as right 

overall: good hearted person who needs more education on how to properly teach and run a class set up for success

Class was well-organized and the expectations were always clear. Content is pretty easy and Sergio was always easy to contact if there was any confusion about anything! If you choose the SONA pathway for the research engagement assignment, start at the beginning of the semester to make sure all the slots don't get booked up.

He was very unclear throughout the semester, which resulted in low grades. When we did participation he would just extend it by a few seconds rather than looking into the problem. He is nice and he is trying, i think he's a phd student, grading was tough. There wasn't a lot of homework. His teaching style was also hard to understand.

He's not a good lecturer at all. His test questions are pretty much up to interpretation on what the right answer is and it not hard to convince him why you're right. He and the TA (Meg) graded my assignments extremely hard will no beneficial feed back at all; I would change things like they asked and would still get an F. IDK what they wanted.

Sergio makes his own exam questions which makes it sooo much harder to understand what is being asked and he is a tough grader.

I enjoyed the class very much. It was nice that they divided us into smaller groups for one of the classes every week so that we could engage in better discussions.
The professor mentioned that this was their first time teaching and the class was pretty cool  for a first time instructor.

Final paper was not clear throughout the entire semester and only got more difficult. Slides were not clear and exam questions were not based off the slides. Try to get a new professor.
