Reviews of professor Juan Garcia Torres

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's an ok professor but if you're not a philosophy pro like most of his students then dont waste your time taking him.

He's super nice, knows a lot about the material, and is patient if you don't understand a topic. He genuinely tries to engage with the class. Attendance isn't totally necessary but you will miss a lot if you skip.

biweekly quizzes on lectures. the quizzes can be on a lot so it is important to go to class, especially since he randomly takes attendance. he is excited and happy to teach the subject

Class was fairly interesting and he does not expect wayy too much (unlike other professors that teach core classes). Make sure to turn in the critical paper early for feedback because it is a large amount of your grade. Otherwise it was a chill semester with small quizzes every 2 weeks.

This review is for his Ethics class. He gives the most boring presentations (he yawns at his own lectures) because he just reads off of the power-point and does not make the class interesting. He covers basic philosophical stories and does not get encourage the students to think during class. He does not provide useful feedback for his papers.

A total breather class. If you show up, youll learn enough about the material to succeed. Pleasant guy (always holding a funky looking mug lol) when we switched to zoom halfway through, he was totally flexible and compassionate towards students. Great dude and great class. For a flag requirement, Im glad I took it.

He teaches interesting topics which I didnt expect but he lectures the ENTIRE time. Sometimes I would start to fall asleep. A lot of reading and there is a quiz every other week which can really affect your grade. Two challenging essays in the class also. Overall he is really nice and funny but sometimes its hard to understand what he is saying
