Teaching

“The in class lectures were by far the most engaging lectures I’ve taken so far at this college. The professor was actively engaged in each lesson and it was evident that he was not going through the motions. I never left the lecture thinking I could have skipped that day, showing up was always worth it and beneficial.”

I appreciated Professor Mayorga’s instructional style. His tests were very challenging. His professionalism is an example to others, and I enjoyed the class and him very much. He was always on time and prepared for the lesson... My favorite instructor this year.

“Extremely good explanation of topics while in class, as well as very good feedback on work and answers questions very clearly. Quizzes at the end of class are a tremendous help for retaining information from the class. Exam reviews were very helpful as well.”

I enjoyed the lectures a lot

“I like the lecture style a lot, the second exam format was perfect”

“Dr. Parada is a great all-around teacher; he knows the topics in depth and answers all questions with great explanations. When something is confusing, he rewords it and simplifies it down to a point that almost a middle schooler could understand. Dr. Parada also went through many examples in class, helping us even further to understand the topics. Great Job, this is one of the most effective classes I’ve ever taken.”
