Reviews of professor Manuel Rivera

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Many people say he's hard but honestly if you are willing to put the effort in, it will pay off and you will do well. Make sure you take notes and ask a lot of questions. He is extremely accessible outside of class and actually wants his students to do well. Just put in the work!

Professor Rivera is definitely one of the best professors in MTH 161. His lecture was very clear and easy to understand. There are two mid-term exams and a quizz every two weeks. I'm a little bit bad at math, but I can keep up with his classes completely without having to preview them in advance. It's very easy to get an A.

Tests aren't straight forward, you need to make sure you know your concepts and formulas and apply them to complex problems on the tests. Lectures aren't mandatory, but I highly recommend them. He teaches the material very well, though.
