MATH3B . Ceniceros H 13 Days Ago

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.

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)

MATH3B . Ceniceros H 5 Months Ago

Professor was incredibly rude to students. He posts practice exams without keys, then refuses to help students with it during office hours, saying it isn't his responsibility. I asked a clarification question during the final and he announced to the room that if you have this question you must never attend class. I never missed a lecture though...

Professor Ceniceros is genuinely a really nice guy - he gives very much uncle/grandpa vibes. However, he is completely inaccessible by email and will basically never respond. The class is weighted very unfairly and the final is worth 40% and our class average was below a 55%. Do not take if you are a bad test taker.

Left the lecture hall understanding less. 2 midterms worth 20%. Final worth 40% and is cumulative. Not worth your time or brain power. Better off waiting for a better professor.

MATH3B . Ceniceros H 8 Months Ago

Professor Ceniceros is a nice person, but I would NEVER take his class again. Lectures are awful, homework is hard with no explanations, and midterms were misleadingly easy in comparison to the final that seemed to be written by the devil himself. I would routinely leave the lecture hall basically shellshocked. Do what you will with this info.

MATH104A . Ceniceros H 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

Took this course in the summer. Checks attendance every now and then (~10% of grade)Hard material but his lectures were fun to attend for me, as long as you learned the concepts it was fine. HW does require coding knowledge, he doesn't teach you to code but is helpful in OH. 2 exams that were ~4-5 questions with T/F and curved a lot at the end.

MATH104C . Ceniceros H 2 Years Ago

Prof. Ceniceros knows his stuff about numerical analysis. I truly learned a lot from him and he is quite funny in class just to make lecture not boring. Numerical analysis is really hard b/c the content is huge, but he encourages students to go to his office hour and it is been very helpful.

Not a good teacher. Not a good teacher. He rewrite the note on board and there is no practice for the exams.

MATH104C . Ceniceros H 3 Years Ago

He might be passionate about numerical analysis ... but he's not a good teacher. It's sad the lecture recordings were from over a year ago.

MATH104B . Ceniceros H 3 Years Ago

No difference in listening to his recorded lecture from just reading his notes yourself, which are equally unclear. The recorded videos seem meaningless since he just transcribes his notes again and reads them verbatim. Not a good teacher.

MATH3B . Ceniceros H 3 Years Ago

Since I took this online due to COVID, all his lectures were recorded and super unhelpful. The first week or two weren't bad since it was mostly review, but after that I had to stop listening to his lectures and watched organic chem tutor instead. 5 "tests" (5 questions) and you have a lot of time so they were not too hard. Just doesn't teach well.

MATH3B . Ceniceros H 3 Years Ago

Prof. Ceniceros can be unclear his lecture videos; the material is more glossed over and there doesn't feel like a lot of structure. I often was lost during lectures and had to review later. To be fair, his quizzes were very generous with a few questions and a large time window.

MATH3B . Ceniceros H 3 Years Ago

He's a nice guy, but lectures do not make sense. TAs did a better job of teaching than him, but his exams weren't that bad or homework. Plus he drops your lowest exam which is a huge plus. Most of the time I self-taught with the textbook and did practice problems.

MATH3B . Ceniceros H 3 Years Ago

This professor is the best! I would retake him if he thought MATH4A. His exams are easy and right to the point. He's kind and reminds you when you have an exam coming up. He always welcomes you to the office hours for more questions on how to solve a math equation you couldn't get in the exam. I would recommend 100% for the online course. HMWexam

His lectures are not understandable unless you already know the material. You are basically self studying if you take this course.

MATH6A . Ceniceros H 4 Years Ago

Midterm is easy because it is similar to the practice exam. My friends in other 2 professors' classes both have hard exams, so I feel so lucky.

MATH6A . Ceniceros H 4 Years Ago

Lectures are clear and he makes concepts pretty simple. Practice tests help you prepare for actual exams. Gives very little homework which is great but also prevents you from fully understanding stuff. I read the book to get a more intuitive understanding of stuff.

104B . Ceniceros H 5 Years Ago

Best math prof I had. His lectures are inspiring and deep. He makes sure you understand the main concepts and results. But you have to work pretty hard in his course. He demands a high standard. He really knows his stuff.

MATH104A . Ceniceros H 5 Years Ago

Awful lecturer. Goes way too fast and writes formula after formula, without providing intuition or a big picture. Helpful in office hours at least. Provides study guides for midterm and final, which are very helpful and yielded a high average.
