The worst math professor I have ever had. Lecture is useless and he does not curve. Avoid him at all cost. His midterm and homework are really difficult. The average of the midterm is 55%. I will never ever take a class with him.

The worst professor ever. Absolutely no need to go to his lectures. I learned so much more from my CLAS tutor and TA. Can't understand anything he says. I've always been pretty good at math, and I failed his midterm. Avoid him at ALL COSTS. Do NOT take a class with him.

Easily the worst math teacher I have ever had. His lecturing ability is non-existent, his tests and homework are monotonous and very difficult. Homework only worth 5% of grade, rest is final and midterms which are very hard. I got an 800 on the math SAT and have always done well in math but failed his first midterm. Would avoid at all costs.

Worst teacher I've had by far, if you miss class you will be fine because he doesn't teach a thing. Ive received straight A's my whole life almost never getting below a C on tests... I got a 38% on his midterm I thought I thought I did well on. Please do not take.

35% midterm 60% final 5% homework midterm was 5 questions (each 10 points), gave out no partial credit many students dropped after midterms, the average was 55% but he doesn't curve. Overall, he is smart, but he obviously does not know how to teach.

He shows proofs more than actual math work.

He has fair tests but is perhaps the toughest grader I have ever had. He is very helpful if you go into office hours and is willing to work with you to earn back points. But he is a very tough grader... so unless you are prepared to work your butt off, don't take it with him

Carlos teaches a really hard class. Avoid him as a professor if possible. Took 118a from him. To do well on exams you need to know the definitions word for word. Also, you need to be able to prove any of the theorems from Rudin's text. The average on the midterm was 56% but he grades with no curve. Two thumbs down.

He teaches with a theoretical approach, which is what makes him hard to understand. He really knows the material and knows how to teach; I just wasn't used to his teaching style. Maybe he'd be better for UD classes. CLAS helps alot. Midterms & Final were manageable as long as you knew the material like the back of your hand. You can't slack off.

He's a genuinely nice guy who really cares about his students, just not a great professor. He clearly knows what he's talking about, he just can't communicate it effectively. Midterms were easy, final was difficult but reasonable.

Lectures are pointless: just a lot of rediculous proofs. kind of helpful in office hours. Tests are fair if you know what you are supposed to be learning, which isn't an easy thing to know. Got an A because of a LOT of studying and CLAS

He's passionate about teaching and will help you understand if you have a question during lecture or in office hours. Exams are easy if you understand the material, and you will if you go to lecture, he is wonderful at explaining. I'll take one of his classes again if I can!

You almost have to learn another language with him. The course is difficult, but extremely doable. I hardly did any of the homework but if it weren't for stupid mistakes, I would have done much better. Go to office hours. His lectures are somewhat useful, but sometimes he skips too many steps.

His exams were fairly easy, though he likes to put some trick questions. Problems from the book are the midterm and final. He also emphasizes theory over computation. Overall a good professor.

He can be hard to understand sometimes but just ask if you are ever confused. I am a native Spanish speaker and meet with him every week for help. I so far got 17/18 and a 18/18 on midterms and aced the final. People are just not working hard enough. You learn alot by going to discussion, but people say lectures are confusing but to me they are not

Everyone unfairly hates on Garcia. Garcia is nice and cares about the students. He just expects students to be more independent and work more from the book. Homework, midterms and finals are all reasonable, just students are being lazy. Take Garcia if you are a real student, not a slacker offer.

I love mathematics but this man made me hate it. How can he get away with grading so dang hard? I got a 2 out of 30 points on the midterm when I thought I did okay. He gave me my first ever D in a math class in my whole math education. He created such a bad experience for me that I have never been able to let go of to this day. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

I've had a bit of time to think about this class and it was simply unreasonable. Garcia hit below the belt by assigning material that was not covered in the book and by giving test problems on material he told us we did not need to worry about. He provided very little help in offices hours. Five engineering graduate students dropped this class.

He is a hard prof but fair, the average on the midterm was low but he gave a bunch of opportunities to make it up, a lot of students stopped going after the midterm so they ended up with poor grades since they missed the quizzes, I ended up with an A because I stuck with it and took the quizzes. Just don't take him if you plan on not showing up.

To be fair, he is enthusiastic about helping students. Otherwise, I disagree over his fairness despite of the extra credit, and would extend to say he is completely disconnected from how well his class is doing. His HW is long, repetitive, and lacks variety. One-third of class didn't show up to his final. Only a masochist would take him for 118!

His class was straight from the book. He had to give us extra credit because he grades so hard (but he also grades the extra credit hard so beware). If your answer makes sense but is not his verbatim expect a zero. Although the class material is excrutiating I would never take this teacher for any other class.

While the average on the midterm was 26% (highest score a 50%), and while he did not curve the class, he offered nine easy quizzes worth 2% of the total grade each, plus a bonus question on the final worth 10-15% of the total class grade. Overall, quite fair. He is also extremely helpful if you talk to him during office hours or outside of class.

Don't take any class with this professor at all costs. Average on the midterm was 26% and he did not curve. That should say enough.

He is incapable of teaching. I was not able to understand what he was talking about. I learned nothing in his CCS vector calculous class. I will go out of my way never to take a class from him again. It was a complete waste of effort.
