Reviews of professor Juan Jimenez

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Juan Jimenez is very smart but he is the most intense and difficult professor I've every had. Utilize help sessions and office hours. Study his lecture problems to prep for the exams. Exams are extremely hard but go through his lectures and make sure you understand everything. Do not only study HW problems.

The worst professor I have ever had; terrible mindset for a teacher. Fine teacher when it comes to lecturing, if you don't mind cold-calling, which you shouldn't. What you should mind is how he encourages you to drop out of the entire major, how happy he is when the exam average is a 50, and how the class expects 9 hours per week just in-person.

Professor Jimenez has to be the least caring professors I've had. Professor makes an already difficult course worse by taking the most challenging problems that you encounter in the course and puts them on the exams that are worth 80% of your overall grade. All but 1 of the 3 exam averages was above an F and yet he refuses to  scale the grades.

I took Thermodynamics with professor Jimenez and I can confidently say that he is the best professor I have ever had. His class was extremely challenging, but it was a necessary challenge. He cares that you learn the material but will not go easy on you (aside from extra credit). You wont leave his class unless you properly understand the material.

Fluid mechanics is hard. However, fluid mechanics with Juan is extremely hard. It is quiet hard to do well on exams (80% of the grade). Be prepared for a low average with random pop quizzes and no scale. I have trauma now.  I get terrified whenever I see pipes around campus. 
If you want a life, avoid juan.

Taught by robotic researcher with limited practical engineering work experience. Practically inaccessible outside of class, relying 100% on TAs. Attend all extra help, as this professor does not scale the course despite low 50s exam averages. 80% of course grade based upon 9 exam problems. Take this course elsewhere and avoid prof at all costs!

He makes the class difficult on purpose but you know what they say, "everybody fails, eberybody scales." He is really experienced and teaches the subject pretty well. Worrying so much about my grade actually made me learn

Honestly he is a engaging lecturer and that is about it. Pop quizzes before or after class. 80% exam weight. Exam material doesn't reflect what he says to study. Hours of homework worth 10% of the grade. Exams average at a 57%, 67%. Final was extremely difficult and did not reflect what was taught. Expecting a 30-40% average. No scales.
