Reviews of professor Ricardo Valencia

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Avoid if you want to learn anything, did not learn one single thing.  Entire class was based off of case studies and research papers. Did not provide one lecture/explain anything. Took 2 months to get grades back to us. Everything we did was just busy work. A very unclear grader and took off points for random things.

His class was chill. Some assignments were a little confusing, but he helps you out if you don't get it. Just do the assignments and you are good. Don't expect to get the most detailed feedback, but you do learn the different styles of writing.

PR writing helps you practice so it's a good class to take. Unclear instructions, students always got confused but you figure it out. East class, but stopped giving feedback after a while. He grades kinda tough but wouldn't explain what EXACTLY was wrong. No final, book or quizzes. It's a great class to have you get to practice REAL PR writing.

I had him for Comm 361 & 362. Hes a pretty chill and easy professor, you just got to show up and do your work. You have a easy assignment due every week and theres no final or midterm in this class. The instructions are kinda vague but its nothing toooo bad. Overall hes a pretty good and caring prof and I like how he teaches his classes

Its an easy course, but he never gave good feedback. Just points taken off and no reason as to why or how to improve. Honestly take someone else if you want to truly learn how to become a good PR professional. He sucks. Class was pointless too. Just read off the PowerPoint then worked/edited drafts with other students.

Dr. Valencia's class consists of writing assignments on a weekly basis. His directions are kind of unclear and gives you the majority of class time to work on the assigned paper. It's really helpful to have good writing skills in this class & be creative! I felt this class prepared me for my capstone pretty well, since he had us do a mini capstone.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT PR WRITING! Assistant Professor Valencia has some of the vaguest instructions I have ever seen a "professor" give out. Doesn't answer emails, doesn't have good material (outdated), grades questionably, vague instructions, does not really teach just reads off his slides. Take. Someone. Else.

Im still in this class but overall it is really easy. Attendance is mandatory. You have weekly quizzes and summaries at the end of each week of what you learned. He doesnt post PowerPoints if you miss class so you have to attend. His instructions are sometimes unclear. You need the book for quizzes and better understanding. Overall easy class
