Reviews of professor Jesus Segovia

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Expects students to come with prior knowledge on genetics even though it is not a prereq...? The assignments are a bit challenging for those without a background in genetics. Goes on frequent tangents and is somewhat unorganized. TLDR; unless you know basic genetics, do NOT take his class...

Do not take dr Segovia. He is unclear about what he wants, nothing is graded and passed back, yet we have one letter grade that defines how we did the entire semester... seems sketchy. Just dont do it, take another - take a real- professor. For your sanity and gpa.

I had Dr. Segovia for Genetics. Hes pretty hard, but if you do the readings and the homework you will be fine. He likes to ask lots of questions during lecture and gives a quiz every week. I like when he relates the lecture to real world problems and disease. Exams are very hard, but he does curve and hes very easy to go talk to for help.

Coming in I was worried b/c of how bad his reviews are but he's honestly a great teacher. He can go on tangents during lecture but he's very passionate in teaching, very willing to help & understand you if you talk to him. My advice to do well in his class: study his powerpoints! his tests are hard but 90% of content he tests you on is in his ppts

His lectures are the same as the book, except the book is more detailed. He wasn't open to listening to students at the beginning of the semester and showed a little growth towards the end. I had to talk to him several times before he would pay attention to my problem. He's a typical professor course wise, online hm, quizzes, and tests.

Hes a sweetheart <3 He does go on tangents during lectures but over all a good professor. Hes probably the most caring professor in the entire biology department at St Marys

His lectures are extremely confusing and contradicts himself multiple times. Be ready to take a quiz every class period if you have his lab class.

Can go off tangents at times, but generally, those stories are insightful. Prof honestly cares for his students and will do anything and everything to help students as long as they are also putting in the effort to try, reach out and communicate. Have seen him come in Saturday at 9 am to help students, so can vouch he will do everything to help.
