Reviews of professor Gabriel Villegas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
actually the worst prof ever. idk how he has such good ratings for biochem but he is terrible for mbb. skips through slides  and reads math of them as if its english. doesn't write a single thing on board and no examples even though chemistry is involved. no practice problems other than textbook which are so hard and dont match whats done in class.

Dr. V is not a great professor and is clearly not great at teaching in the online environment. That being said, the class itself was completely fine, as long as you took good notes and studied for the exams, the exams were challenging but fair and it was manageable. Way less work than it would have been in person. Learned a lot, especially for MCAT

Wanted to clear Dr. V's name out here, maybe the bad reviews were in light of his online course but I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The material is difficult by nature but lectures cover what you need to know, optional hw questions give you a great idea of test material, and he offered numerous extra credits. Plus a personable guy.

Villegas is really chill, engaging, gives extra credit, and wants to help u. The actual material tho like the exams are so difficult & honestly seem impossible to study for, the practice exams are completely inaccurate & the exams dont resemble the homework like this class had me contemplating suicide my god
so yeah nice professor, horrible class

Dr. V provides detailed explanation and makes sure that you understand every aspect of the concept. Because of this he rambles on sometimes, folks around me had a difficult time connecting. But the detailed explanation really helped me a lot! He very relatable, kind, and is always accessible outside of class for doubts and questions.

Interesting about his low ratings here. To succeed on the exams you have to go to discussion sessions and work hard, but an A is achievable. Do many textbook problems and watch every single video that he posts. He's tough, but I learned so much and really appreciated his class! Great MCAT prep too!

Villegas is one of the greatest STEM professors I've had at Rutgers. Showing up to the lectures is essential - pay attention to which slides he spends extra time on, that's what will be on the exam. Only need his slides/lecture, not the textbook. He really cares and gives a lot of extra credit. Exam questions aren't tricky and this class is fair.

Horrible Professor, Makes exams extremely difficult and is not clear about much. Exams are almost impossible to pass and somehow the averages are pretty high even with exam rigor being extremely difficult. The only grades that matter are the exams that are 80 percent! This is the worst course I've taken and I took ORGO 2 with Roth and got a B.
