Reviews of professor Aaron Montalvo

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Montalvo was okay as a professor. I was a bit concerned about the reviews but if you put in effort and show you care, he will care too. My biggest problem was that he was a bit pretentious about things, but it can be easily overlooked as well

If Aaron would communicate more on why he grades the way he does maybe the class would be better. A one sentence answer is a big joke coming from someone who calls themself an English professor.

Professor Montalvo really made an effort to make this boring class interesting and engaging. He always made an effort to be there for his students which showed he cared. I realize this isn't exactly his area of expertise as he is a PhD student but I enjoyed having him in this class.

The format of the class can be somewhat hectic, lots of reading assigned on similar dates if not the exact date writing assignments are due. The grading scale is kind of ambiguous considering, you never really know why you received the grade you did. It is incredibly difficult to earn an A. However, Aaron is a good guy; I wish him the best.

Boring lectures, never learn anything, not clear on what he wants in papers. It is way past the middle of the semester and I still have an N/A for my grade. Posts things on Canvas a day before they are due. Choose literally any other professor but this one.

Aaron had expectations so high that the average grade for every assignment was 75% or below. I had to ask him to regrade one of my papers because I believed that it was harsh and he agreed he was grading unfair. No student should have to correct a professors grading. Avoid taking him if you can. I took AP English in high school and this was harder
