Reviews of professor Omar Garcia

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mr. Garcia is a great professor he makes sure that you understand the material. He is not monotone as many people say. He does not issue assignments so your grade depends on exams. He goes over the review the class before the exam so make sure to take questions and ask them take advantage of the help. I would definitely recommend him!

Omar was ill-equipped to teach this course and read verbatim from his extremely lengthy powerpoint slides, making the lectures exceptionally boring. The exams had multiple correct answers, were horribly worded, and were straight up confusing at times. So while I managed to get an A, I highly recommend taking someone else for this course.

He literally will not curve. He wants you to choose the "best" answer even if some of the choices are correct. He grades on three test, and is completely unfair. Worst prof ever!!!!

Mr. Garcia cares about his students and clearly explains the material. He responds to emails promptly and is open to any questions we have. However, his mc test questions are confusing since there are often multiple correct answers, and it's impossible to know what he is really looking for. At least there are extra credit opportunities (3 pts max).

I had Omar for Cognition, and he was engaging, funny, and cared for his students. Show up and give him your attention, and he will make sure you learn.

This man really cares about his students; he learned everyone's name (in a class of 100+) in about a week! The material itself is boring, but he did his best to make lectures engaging & funny. His lectures were sometimes a little confusing, but no need for the textbook. Tests were not hard since we had cheat sheets. I would highly recommend Omar!!!

I had Omar as a TA for PSYC302. He has a really thick accent but he is great at what he does. He made sure that we always understood the material. It got a bit boring since he went into so much detail over things that seemed to be common knowledge. Other than that, I would recommend him.

I took Garcia for Psych of Personality, and his lectures were basically just voiceovers to PowerPoints. They were pretty monotoned, but I still learned a lot and enjoyed the content. There were four MC exams, and I don't recall any of the questions being tricky like some other people have said for other classes he taught. Drops your lowest grade!
