Reviews of professor Marcos Ortiz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ortiz a very caring professor. I am good at math and it was a 8am so I barley showed up except for every Thursday (quiz/test day). He was ok with it, but I did feel bad. I would come in for help when I needed it and he would explain well. He wants you to succeed, ask a question on a quiz and will actually help instead of saying no I won't help you.

I've never worked this hard for a class before and I still received an F. The first announcement in D2L I received from this class was the drop deadline, which should have been a red flag. Unless you want to teach yourself calculus, I would recommend finding a better professor or putting math off for another semester. Do not take this professor!

A good thing about this teacher is he wants you to succeed. Has clear office hours and will work with you. However, I took his 8 am class and having a class that early for him to just talk to the class is rough. I honestly learned more from the TLC because it was hard for me to stay attentive when he taught.

He's a nice guy and wants you to succeed, but his MATH151 is a very difficult class. He focuses much more on having you memorize definitions verbatim than actually applying concepts from calculus. Makes tests MUCH more difficult than homework and quizzes.

He is a really nice guy, but is not a great teacher. If you are already naturally good at math, hes great. If you are a person that tends to struggle, dont take him.

Dr. Ortiz is very nice, but I honestly don't think I learned anything in this class. He seemed to teach things in a completely different way than I'd ever learned before, which made an already tough subject for me impossible. He is helpful during office hours, go there for homework, because the homework help in MathLab teaches completely different.

Really nice guy but has a lot to learn about being an awesome teacher. He is organized and follows through on what he says he will do. He offers office hours. He does not give sample tests and quizzes w/ the caliber of problems that students will see on tests. His personality is a huge plus. If you're great w/ math, he's fine. Has u memorize!

If possible, I recommend taking a different professor for mathematics. I have been self-teaching because new material is either not taught at all but shows up in homework, or taught briefly and unclearly. He is a nice professor who will gladly help students. But with the way he teaches, myself and others in the class always need help.

Great guy, and you can most definitely get an A if you're ontop of things 24/7 and good at math. If you are bad at math, I would suggest looking for someone else. Always willing to help you, however has only one way to solve most problems and he never clicked with me. He's helpful and really organized and wants you to succeed, but very difficult
