Reviews of professor Marcos Contreras

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I LOVED this class and Professor Contreras. Make sure to study on your own as well because he does assign homework. Professor Contreras is lively, hilarious, caring, and an overall really good person. I would say he is one of the better professors at MJC. He really cares about his students. I will be taking him again in Spring 2019. AMAZING!

Wasn't clear about what assignments were due, and takes a long time to respond. Also states in the syllabus grades will be updated weekly, but mine weren't updated until the day before the class ended, so I had no idea what my grade was.

A great man for sure and highly respected. Love the old teaching morals he possesses. The class is very hard to learn Spanish. I took two years of Spanish in high school and I still had some struggles. Put in the work to succeed in this class. He is very helpful and tries to be very engaging throughout lectures. Take it only if you're serious.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! AVOID!  Very unclear on assignment details and has different due dates that do not match the "To DO' list. Takes a long time to answer email, accept ZERO late work, only offered one extra credit that was worth 3 points, waits till the very end to grade Portales so you don't know your grade. Portales is heavy with work!

There is a required $150+ online textbook that you have to buy for this class. The professor is not clear about any instruction and his class is nearly unnavigable. There are several group projects that must be done on a website that does not work well. He does not answer most emails. I would never take a class with this professor again.
