Strict w attendance mostly bc he wants you to hear him talk! When wed have work hed give us unsolvable problems, for example he gave us the wrong answer explained it for 15 mins then said JK i wanted to trick you guys...This man is a waste of time who doesnt help you unless you inflate his ego more! Asks for opinions then gets mad!

Don't waste your money on this class. I have taken online math classes in the past and this is the one I enjoyed the least. Lots of homework and instead of lectures there are only "support" youtube videos that don't really do much good, basically, you are just paying to do exercises from a free book and watch videos from 2019.

You can tell he cares about his students but it was difficult for him to get into a teaching groove at the beginning to mid of semester. about 2 hw assignments weekly (take about 45min-1hr each). Free textbook pdf. Has online video lectures for every chapter. 4 tests plus a final. offers a good amount of extra credit. accepts late work. pretty nice

Reyes is a good math teacher. I took MAT-23, an accelerated course that's A LOT with him Fall '22. HW 3x/week, 4 tests and final, but all fair in length, grading, and difficulty. He appears strict, but it's necessary for the intensity of the course. Passionate about math, weekly grading, participation. Only downside (for me): slow to answer email

Seems to have an anxiety disorder of some kind. He ranges from trying to "look smart in front of the students" to straight up telling people to drop his course because he is unconfident in his teaching ability.

Definite skip, I can see why he can only find work at a community college.

Not an enjoyable class at all. I understand that math is not everyones best subject, but after talking to all of my classmates, it seems we were all on the same boat. We were all constantly struggling. The videos are taken from YouTube and at times, the videos have nothing to do with the homework, only making it more difficult.

Gifted instructor!  Incredibly supportive.  Absent his lectures and teaching I never would have survived.

If you're not great with calculus then its time to put in a lot of efforts into this class. The tests are pretty heavy if you're not updated with the class and its best to work with others. The labs are ok, sometimes confusing so best of luck with calc 1 knowledge coming in handy. His teaching style is not my favorite so I withdrew.
