Very cool guy. Super easy to talk to and really likes class participation. I'm a Biology major and just took this class for UD units, but it was really enjoyable and I looked forward to going to class because he kept it interesting. There was just a midterm and final, both in class essays. Super open minded questions, pretty easy grading.

Awesome teacher! He is a very approachable, down to earth, chill guy. He is also very attractive. Wears dress socks with Birkenstocks. 10/10 would recommend.

He gives fantastic lectures and his tests aren't too hard. He doesn't always respond to emails but if you ask him a question after class he'll be happy to answer and very helpful.

I would take any class from prof. Aldana! His enthusiasm makes you want to show up for class every day and the lectures are actually really cool and interesting. Don't be afraid to ask questions and get creative, he likes this!

Really cool guy. Super knowledgeable about this stuff. His quizzes can be difficult but the final was ridiculously easy. Have to do a lot of reading but most of it is actually pretty interesting. Highly recommend this class. Aldana got up on the table once and he told us about the alien theories. Favorite professor here so far.
