Reviews of professor Jorge Cacho

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Tries super hard but really can't pull it off. Bad jokes and randomly jumps around topics. Test coverage doesn't match what we did in class either. The assignments are too long and too vague, unhelpful themes of the assignment, really distract from the main purpose of the home work - can't learn from him, unprofessional, waste of time and money

So far this is one of the best CS professor I have encountered. If you ever need help he's available on discord and usually responds instantly. Offers a lot of extra credit. If you do all the extra credit, there's pretty much no way you won't pass. Assignments can take a bit of time, but they aren't difficult. Start them early and you'll be fine.

Fonseca is definitely intelligent and he does know what he's talking about but he is not a good professor at all. His final project was ridiculously long. His class definitely is assignment heavy I would take my chances with a different Prof than Fonseca. I also took him for CS202

JF is a great CS prof. The tests were very easy, but the homework was sometimes confusing or just incredibly long. The final project is gigantic and takes the entire semester to do, get started early. Tons of EC to make up for assignments you will inevitably not do well. Do good on the tests and some of the assignments and EC and you'll pass.

Dr. Fonseca is a remarkable instructor who is very knowledgeable and engaging. His lectures are great and has plenty of resources available to reinforce the course concepts covered in the lecture. CS 202 may be difficult for some, so be sure to study hard, take notes, ask questions in lectures, and reach out for help from the TA.

Coming from a hospitality background it was intimidating at first but he went out of his way to help me learn programming. He was always quick to respond, and my only con is I wished it there was an in-person course with him too

Well. One of the worst professors in CS UNLV and I can sign under each word I say. Super heavy in the material, he thinks he is "the smartest guy in the room". WRONG! Unbearably long assignments with no practical application later on. Well Played, "doc", you played yourself. 1.3k CS Students have no base coz of you. I know you will read this! GG

best online class I have taken. Prof Cacho's youtube lectures were clear and concise. he was always available when I needed help with my code and he even helped me get my paper published.

His lectures aren't the greatest but he is a dedicated professor. The assignments are long and have a ton of fluff, but the tests are easy. The final project that he assigns is unreasonably long considering you have assignments due every week for essentially the entire semester. He is always available for questions even if he responses are mild.
