CollegeI took Calc AB in high school, and understood the topics. The first half of the course was review, but I got confused even on topics I already knew because he skips steps. He obviously understands the material, but doesn't seem to understand that students may not. The first two midterms were much simpler in comparison to the final.
Honestly for calculus, I would recommend taking him. His midterms and finals are very simple integrals that you can solve. The final was a bit hard but does curve up the class which helps a lot. His lectures were sometimes confusing but honestly he is a very good professor. Just study hard and go to CLAS or your TA if you need help. His OH help too
bad lecturer. a little bit of a language barrier as well. tries to be funny and draw really good graphs but it just wastes class time. not many resources to help you learn aside from a confusing textbook. he isn't rude or anything just a mid prof.
Class average on the final was a 50 something and was worth 40% of our grade. Terrible lecturer and the midterms were misleadingly easy compared to the evil evil final.
Ceniceros was a great teacher. Clearly very knowledgeable about the material. Lectures moved a bit quickly but it was never unmanageable. Midterms and final had simple questions and the class never got too challenging overall.
Professor Ceniceros is a fun and smart guy but can't teach. His lectures are fast and he rarely takes questions. I learned about half of the material of my own. The easy midterms and mildly difficult final make getting an A in his class not that hard.
