lectures are so confusing and he should not be teaching a lower level math class. He is obviously a genius with math but just can't teach this class well at all. The final was so difficult and he doesn't curve the class at all. I even took calculus in high school and knew most of what he taught but still got a b-.

Literally the worst professor you could imagine. Barely speaks English, is impossible to understand, and does not help at all. TA's for 3B also don't help. His homework is ridiculous and good luck on the midterm on final. Avoid at all costs.

This class should have been manageable, but thanks to him it was not. We spent an average of two all-nighters a week just trying to finish the homework. What he taught had nothing to do with the online notes and the homework was based on the online notes. By the 5th lecture, 5 people actually came to class. Take math from a different prof please!

He is 15 year music theory teacher, bass player from Columbia. His accent is the hardest challenge about his style of teaching. he has been teaching in the states for the past 3 years and the accent is here to stay. his accent makes him really think about what he is saying. Best thing is to let him talk and ask questions when he done talking!!!!!!!

He is a horrible teacher and I survived a B+ by not going to lecture and going to CLAS instead because those people that went to lecture say they got a significantly worst grade. He makes things very confusing and please save yourselves the trouble. I got nothing below an A and Carlos's grade was the lowest. I like math but not when he teaches.

He is a terrible lecturer who goes off on mathematical tangents (heh, get it?) that are really irrelevant to what we are doing and unhelpful. He does lots of proofs and shows us how higher math solves problems when all we want to know is how to do calculus so we can get on with our majors that aren't math. 010 210 with rice.

i did all the homework and i studied my ass off. I know i'm not good at math, but I've usually been able to do well just by giving it my best. The TA i had wasn't clear, and that was just a recipe for failure. Please do not take this class if this guy is the professor. A good professor will be concise, while this professor lacks any teaching skill

I had so much confidence in myself when it came to math because I always got A's in high school. But he crushed it all when I received a BARELY passing grade of a C. He knows his stuff, but his expectations for students are WAY too high. For tests dont rely on how much you study rather pray that you have an easy grader. Some dont give partial cred

I've never had a class so difficult, nothing on the tests were done in homework or lecture. He does not do examples or practice problems and does not answer questions in class.

This has got to be the most unclear professor ever! Everyone is lost during his lectures! If you have no choice to but to take him the only way to pass is by attending CLAS! Become your tutor's best friend!

His class note makes me feel like I am in a english class. he is definitely the worst professor you will probably see in your life. if you have another choice, do not take his class. he is intelligent on the things he is teaching, but the problem is that he cant show you what he is talking about. gives questions from different levels in midterm.

Possibly the worst option for a math professor, lectures are not helpful and do not prepare students for the final, outside help is a must

Let's say math was your business in high school. All A's and no extra studying for tests. And then carlos comes into your life. understanding him is impossible and unless youre a math major you dont need to know the proofs and derivations of these formulas. Lectures are pointless. I'd rather have my limbs cut off than take his class ever again.

If you're taking this class with Garcia, you MUST take CLAS. Lectures are no help at all, so if you miss a lecture (or all of them) it doesn't matter. The only way to do well on his exams are by doing many many many practice problems and by knowing the material like the back of your hand. Also, GO TO CLAS!!

Worst professor on the face of the Earth. He is worth absolutely nothing and grades like a nazi. Shows absolutely no compassion towards any human being whatsoever. He is one of the rudest people I have ever met and without a doubt the worst professor I will ever encounter. If you have to drop out of college to avoid taking this class, do it.

Professor Garcia is very intelligent and undoubtedly shows a profound understanding of the material - but neither of the aforementioned traits are nearly as important as the ability to articulate concepts and methods in lecture, fairness (both in grading and making clear what is to be on the test), and a character even slightly above apathetic.

Ridiculous as to how poorly this class was taught. Consistently jumped around in lecture. Did not follow the book nor help much with homework. Went to office hours even worse. I would bring back the Holocaust if it meant Carlos did not teach this class

This man should not be teaching.

Lectures are difficult to understand and examples usually are not complete or clear, so lectures are not very useful. Grading and difficulty level is very inconsistent. Taking a CLAS class along with this course is necessary.

Wasn't here for the first 2 weeks. The sub we had before he came in was way better at explain things and actually gave us time to ask questions during lecture if we didn't understand something. When Garcia came back, you couldn't ask a question without him basically responding, "Are you stupid? You should know this." Would have gotten another prof.

Quite possibly the worst professor I've ever had. He told my class that he expects us to be better than him at math and gives no curve at all.

Lectures are completely irrelevant to tests & extremely long, fast, and confusing. His homework was hard & worth few points, but do-able (definitely helped me learn the material). Mostly learned the material on my own and through CLAS and TAs. Tests are really tough, but not totally impossible if you 100% master every topic (and are lucky)

Horrible... This teacher, if you could call him that, is the worst I have ever had. I am a hard worker and study often. He does not care about his students. I have gone into office hours and he has made me feel like an idiot because I couldn't understand a topic. Awful a disgrace to the University...
