Reviews of professor Carlos Alonso

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't worry about attendance, class with him is uneventful and a rehash of the ppts. Very picky grader and unclear feedback with group projects, which he loves to grade harshly. The class itself has easy work and quizzes if you read the book but it's really hard to get an A if you do bad/avg on ANY of the projects. Open note midterm & final was a +

He's far from the best, but not to horrible. He's just truly unreasonable sometimes and his stubbornness can be a problem for your grade. Our final consisted of roughly 20 questions with the last two being condign challenges that nearly 90% of the students didn't finish. Students voice their issues and he just brushes it off. Avoid him if you can.

The assignments require hours of dedication that the zybooks just don't support. The final exam consisted of questions that took way too long to complete the in allotted time period. This professor doesn't teach rather relies on youtube content and the zybooks to hopefully guide to a passing grade.

This professor is ridiculously nit-picky. he will look at every tiny detail of your work & find any possible fault to deduct points off of you (even grammar). Hes one of those professors that thinks your only taking his class and NO other. so definitely be prepared to spend a lot of time on his class, ONLY. quizzes will not be easy.

Ive had this professor twice and both times have been a nightmare. He expects way too much for someone who does too little. His program activities take up a lot of time and his instructions are unclear. If you're new to programming in C then gl. Ive managed to do well on his hw and assignments, but his final killed me, too much in too little time.

Carlos Alonso has gotten a bad rep this semester because of his hard exam. While the exam is hard, and the semester has been a little difficult, I personally did learn a lot of C and UNIX programming. Hopefully his final changes, but even so, it is quite possible and many will get a B as their final grade with this professor.

Decent Professor for operating systems. Dont let the group projects overwhelm you, theyre very easy.

Let's just describe the 2 hr final, multiple questions, EACH equivalent to homework programs that normally take a week to finish, Impossible and UNACCEPTABLE, should be able to rate 0. Almost perfect scores on dozens, yes dozens of assignments, zybooks chapters etc, yet at risk of getting a D overall because of one final. Stay away form this guy!

Assignments took a while to complete, but I expected as much from a systems programming class. However, you will regularly find yourself trying to make sense of assignment instructions because they can be so vague. The class average on the final exam was an F because he did not provide enough time. Would take a different prof given the chance.
