Reviews of professor Ricardo Valencia

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very UNCLEAR. We never know what he wants us to do. Gives us little resources and asks us to do so much with so little information. The readings are boring and confusing. I wish I never had taken this class honestly. If I would have known...

Had him for COMM 361 + COMM 362. Although he's chill, I made the mistake of taking him twice because now I feel unprepared for harder PR classes. He gives really unclear instructions, and doesn't really grade things. You just do the work and he gives you points. Unless you're a horrible writer, don't expect feedback. Easy A but annoying.

He was pretty easy to access outside of class. Lot's of videos to watch and quizzes to take (most quizzes weren't hard). The "homework" wasn't hard, just very time-consuming. His instructions can be hard to understand sometimes but just communicate with him, if you do all your work you'll be fine. He really isn't a hard professor to take.......

He was probably the worst professor I've ever had. I had no idea what was going on every single class. He goes off on stupid and unrelated tangents and wastes class time talking about things that are unrelated to the class. He is a terrible grader and he makes no effort in making sure his students understand anything. DO NOT TAKE HIM AS A PROFESSOR

Prof. Valencia means well and wants his students to succeed. His directions are hard to understand at times and he isn't very clear in his instructions. Also very heavily weighs like 5 question tests. Other than that, he is available if you need help, and the course isn't too hard.

He gives very little instruction on assignments. He gives instructions for 15 minutes and gives you confusing answers when you ask for help. You have to write the way HE wants or else you will lose points. Attendance is mandatory, and you lose points for not showing up with a rough draft. Would never take him again for anything ever.

Extremely easy course as long as you follow instructions. He is a great professor & truly cares about his students. He even offered multiple extra credit opportunities throughout the semester! His lectures are interesting, but he does assign a lot of homework. Being organized is key in this course!

He is a very nice professor, but instructions he gives are very confusing and not clear for assignments. Attendance is mandatory but lectures are interesting. There is a lot of group work every class.

Prof. Valencia is hard but his work isn't too demanding. It's meant to prep you for capstone. I already know more than some capstone students. I'm in 6 classes and working full-time, but I have an A right now, minus any extra credit. He delays grading, in-class and online, and directions are unclear. But just ask questions and do ur best and ur OK.
