Reviews of professor Jon Alva

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a great professor and really wants the students to do well. The whole EMT system at Miramar is wack but he will try his best to help you succeed. He will never let you out early and will lecture for the whole time. It can get pretty boring but he incorporates interesting stories. Overall, if you do everything he tells you, you will pass.

Jon is an awesome instructor in EMS so he really knows what he's talking about and tells tons of stories in relation to the lectures. Attendance is mandatory due to national/state regulations but he makes the class time interesting. Be prepared to read ALOT however, Jon does provide lots of extra credit. This is an A, B fail class C will not pass.

Jon was such an amazing teacher, he is so knowledgeable in the field. His class is also very structured and he has a clear grading policy and is on top of making sure you know where you stand in the class. The course in general is not for a weak, and is not cheap, be prepared to spend a good 400 on materials, text book, uniform ect.

Jon has to be one of the worst instructors I've ever had. He does not lecture very well, goes on rants, does not offer constructive criticism, he's a harsh grader. Creates "group" extra credit activities but does not offer it to everyone. He wants students to compete against each other. He does not want students to pass. DON'T TAKE HIM!

Jon is a tough instructor but a fair one.  He will be sure to say what he expects from you and give you as many resources as you need to be successful in the class. This course was not easy by any means, it requires studying, memorizing, and applying yourself.  As long as you submit assignments ON TIME and give it your all you'll be alright.

Professor Jon is an amazing professor. I have attended other colleges and Jon is my favorite professor. He warns you to pass but you have to work for it. 100% would take his class again
