Reviews of professor Jose Guzman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Jose is a really fun and nice guy. If you take the 5 credit version of this class you'll get to go on a field trip (Friday Harbor is the best one). The labs and tests are the hardest but not too much work. The only thing that kept him from getting a 5/5 was that we spent too much time discussing slides in class. Overall, great class and professor.

His class was educational but the exams were always on very niche subjects that weren't clearly taught. He also uses the "flipped class" approach which means lots of homework and graded in class pollev questions.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
he was good at lecturing and engaging but uses flipped classroom so you teach majority of testable info to yourself anyway. also talks a lot about how in-class questions and test questions are meant to trick you which i absolutely despise. every single question every asked will have a none of the above or all of the above option which SUCKS.

Class was challenging but you learn a lot. Professor Guzman is down to earth and good at explaining his field.

In this class you read a chapter or two before class and submit a reading quiz before lectures. In lecture Guzman reviews and expands on the content with PollEv (participation points) and discussion. If you raised your hand at least 3 times, Guzman would know your name, and he worked through everyone's thought process in a super helpful way.
