CollegeExtremely understanding during the pandemic, that matters and says a lot about him. Its a dry subject (lul) but he sends a ton of videos and walks you through everything. If you study its an easy A, but dont be deceived by the ease of the material as he will ask questions to apply just about everything ie graphs water shortage thiessen polygon
before taking loaiciga's class, i read these reviews and thought "you know what, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt, it won't be that bad," but it REALLY WAS that bad. this class is just math and memorization. he reads formulas from horrendously colored slides for two hours during each lecture. prepare to be bored and fail the midterms.
Does good at explaining things when you ask him questions during class. Also very understanding about attendance if you talk to him beforehand.
Terrible all around.
Got curved down from a 91% to a B+
I was worried about taking this class since I'd heard negative opinions on this prof, but I actually really liked him and his class. He might not be the most friendly, but he clearly is an expert in his field, & I respect that. Videos for labs, hw, and lecture were very clear. Overall, the course was interesting, practical, and useful!
