mes45 . Campo J E A Month Ago

I took this class as a GE and I actually learned. Very interesting class and barely any homework. Study a decent amount for the quizzes, midterm, and test and you will easily pass the class.

mes45 . Campo J E 2 Months Ago

Not sure why others are complaining about MES45, not the most interesting lectures but easy GE. Lots of assigned reading, I only read the stuff that looked interesting, got a free A. Skipped a lot of lecture, but section was mandatory. Brought his wife and they cooked Middle Eastern dishes for a lecture which was cool, and tasty. Rating 5 to bump.

Made lecture somewhat interesting, easy course, great personality. Barely looked over readings and got a good grade regardless. Would highly recommend.

mes45 . Campo J E 4 Months Ago

His lectures are long and not very engaging which makes it hard to grasp all of the content, as his slides are very minimal and the reading is heavy. I did very little reading and did fine. He gives study guides for midterms and the final; however, the questions on the tests are much more specific than whats on the study guide.

Campo isn't very tech-savvy or organized in lectures, which means he doesn't expect much in his class. I never went to lecture and just showed up for the tests (2 midterms, 1 final) and everything he tests for is on the study guide. he assigns a lot of reading but I haven't looked at them once and do fine.

worst professor I have every had his lectures were long and boring, merely reads off his slides which have little to no information on them, he posts study guides the night before the test, comes late to tests giving us limited time, is rude to his students, and shows no care in his job. I would not recommend this class to my worst enemy.
