he made everyone take their hats off in class. He assumed everyone in the class was already a fuckng computer whiz. His class was twice as hard as everyone else. I had friends in other section with othe teachers who were a good month behind what we were doing. He just assumed too much. The class average was a 68%. This was supposes to be a god damn introduction to computers, not advanced shit.

I have always considered myself to be proficient when it came to using computers. I expected to know my way around the class, you know, learn maybe something that I didn't know before. Well, this professor starts teaching the class and he is going over stuff that expects you to know how to do it. What annoyed me the most was how I had to help my friends with the material when the book didn't help. Adequate teaching methods were not present in the class. I did an excelent job on all of the assignments, spending more time than I should have, and only managed to receive a C. Dr. Duarte knows his way around computers, but the support he gave in teaching was just not there.

The material was not the problem, it was the tests. His tests were not at all representive of the material covered in class, in the homework, or in the book. Although I did not have trouble keeping up with him in class, others could not. It seemed if he kept on going too fast. Also he picked apart each homework exercise until you would have no points left. He would pick on the minor details way too much. You could do and comprehend the assignment but on account of foolish mistakes (usually caused by the books lack of clarity on homework instruction) you would recieve only 60 - 70 % credit.

First off, we hade lame homework assignments every night. He then picks apart at every little mistake such as commas or name position. I ended up spending hours on excell projects only to get at best an 8/10. For test memorization of key terms is essential. The tests are difficult and tricky.

Dr. Duarte is not a very hard professor like everyone keeps saying. All you have to do is make sure your homework is exactly like he tells you. People complain because they get 1 point taken off for not using the right margins. Well if you were in class and listening he tells you exactly how to do the assignments. He tests are like the questions at the end of the chapter, in fact some of them are those same exact questions. He is always willing to help if you need it. People who complain about his class just need to realize this is college not high school, and in the "Real World" your boss will expect your work to be perfect just like Dr. Duarte does.
