Reviews of professor Francisco Covarrubias

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Horrible professor. Hard to understand, never clear with his instructions and uses math lab which, if you accidentally type something wrong or if it counts it wrong even when it's right, he refuses to change the grade. You can only use a four function calculator on tests or a stupid excel calculator that is confusing because he fails to explain it.

1 word PISCES! He was the nicest professor I have ever had! At the time, he was new to the school, so he was still trying to figure out his lesson plans, homework, curriculum, etc. If you put in the work and attend class everyday, he will help you! Gives extra credit, curves, lots of partial credit on exams.

He's an alright guy on a personal level, I guess, but that doesn't change the fact everyone in my class did so poorly on the first test that he decided to scrap the grades and give the entire class a redo the following week...

Had him for Calc 1. Literally taught us like 1 on 1. Hes carries you and teaches you trying his best to make sure that you understand. I dont know if it was just me but it was an easy A in calc. His teaching methods are extremely clear, highly recommend.

He's not a bad guy or anything, he just doesn't teach Calculus (which is a very difficult subject) at a level that we can understand. He teaches at a fast pace and there were only five grades in the class. 4 were tests with around 3 to 10 questions each. Gives some extra credit though.

He is a really nice guy but he's hard to understand sometimes because of his accent. He goes so fast that he will get problems wrong. Uses Alek's for test and homework. Attendance isn't mandatory but you get extra credit for if you go. He allowed a retest for us bc everyone did so bad on test #2 && allows you to make a formula sheet for the test.

Professor Covarrubias is amazing, he goes the extra mile to make sure you understand before moving on to the next segment. He is very accessible and responds to emails. He is passionate about mathematics. Exams are hard, but he prepares you with materials before hand. Highly recommend taking his courses.

NO!!! Very nice guy, but if you don't understand the concepts, he fails to understand how. He does problems straight from the board and doesn't explain why he gets the answers he does. Uses MyMathLab for test and if you type one thing in wrong he doesn't fix it. Again he kept telling us he wanted to treat us like a CALC class even though it wasn't.

He is a nice guy but he is not very clear about what he wants. He does not really respond to anyone's emails. He does not really help the students that need it and only focuses on the students who are doing well. Also, the tests are on my mathlab and if you dont put the exact answer it counts it wrong
