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.
The midterms were really easy and the final was more difficult. The homework isn't too bad. He goes through the examples really fast, so you won't have the chance to take notes or understand fully during lecture. Personally, I had to relearn everything outside of class because I couldn't understand the content fast enough during lecture.
midterm, homework very doable and easy. final not too bad, just a lot of studying outside of class since lecture tends to move really fast
He tried to be funny in class and final wasnt that bad just had some stuff (2Qs) that were on rlly new stuff we just learned. Hw is literally ez bc you can try until its right and the midterms werent too bad just be sure to study and maybe study off the textbook😜gave lots of examples in lecture
Professor Ceniceros is funny and knows how to lighten the mood in class. I wouldn't recommend writing notes while he goes over them in class because he tends to go quickly at times. I received a 71% only because I didn't study, and on the next midterm, I received an 83%. The final was easy as well the only difficult part was the last two problems.
He often skipped a lot of the material, expecting the students to know. The two midterms were EXTREMELY easy, but the final was a bit more difficult but not too bad. Homework was about 10 questions every week, which were medium-difficultly. It's fine to use AI because problems like those won't appear on the midterms.
Ceniceros is a decent person, but not the best professor. There just isn't enough time to learn all of calc 2 in 10 weeks. He also skips a lot of steps while lecturing. Both midterms (4 questions) were pretty easy, compared to the homework and practice problems. The final was a bit more difficult with 5 questions with 3 parts to each question.
Content was very easy although professor isn't good at teaching the content from what I've seen. Arc Length, Euler's method, Parametric Equations & Polar Coordinates, and vector-valued functions were not in his 3B curriculum with more emphasis on series & sequences and integration techniques. Midterms were easy final was of average difficulty.
He's nice and makes a lot of jokes (some are pretty funny) but not a great teacher because he moves super fast and doesn't explain concepts very well. He kinda seems to assume that all of his students are math geniuses. You'll mostly have to teach yourself, and while the midterms are easy the final is really hard.
Doesn't go in depth with concepts in lecture, basically have to reteach yourself everything after. Easy midterms but very hard final.
Super silly and sweet guy, just not that great of a teacher. He's super smart so he breezes over certain topics that are crucial to understand and his lectures are really confusing because he only uses textbook notations that make no sense. Try to learn concepts before lecture so it's easier to digest. Midterms are really easy, final is brutal.
His lectures are difficult to understand because he goes so fast but once you read the notes after, it's pretty clear. His midterms were pretty easy but the final was more difficult. His final were similar to questions from other midterms, review, and homework. Also for the midterms, the grading criteria is pretty harsh.
His lectures are not chill. His explanation skills are subpar and you will find yourself doing all of your learning outside of class.
If I could give a 0 on everything I would. He's has funny dry humor but his lectures dont make sense, he never answers questions and his tests are stupid hard. Don't be fooled by the first two midterms, the final is so hard. Stupid hard. If you can not take him, don't.
He is not good at teaching. He is clearly a genius but he is so smart that he cannot comprehend how you do not understand. He skips complex steps because for him they are mental math. He is probably very good at math but he cannot teach. He does not like answering questions.
He's a nice person but a bad teacher. He likes to make jokes and lighten the mood, which is appreciated sometimes. However it's hard to understand him through his accent and he goes through things very fast without fully explaining. I left the class, especially the second half, very confused and had to teach myself and have the TA help explain.
lecture so bad today im doing this mid class. his lectures are really confusing for topics that are not super hard. the tests are pretty easy but you have to self study. he tries really hard to be funny in class but is kinda mean to student
Much easier than my AP Calc AB teacher's content (it was hell on earth in that class where almost all bc was crammed in 3 weeks, right after the ap exam with no curves and grade average of D)
bro wants to be a comedian so bad. sitting through his lectures is actually diabolical. never again
He does not explain well
