Comment:

Exams use honorlock (AVOID). His lectures are next to useless, his voice is incomprehensible and the slides don't help with most of the assignments. Does not accept scanned handwritten homework (unlike every other mathematics prof you will likely ever have), assignments are relatively long and tedious, you'll be teaching yourself with youtube.

Taking him online so maybe the experience is different in person but his lectures are awful. Audio is bad so its hard to even understand him sometimes. Only 3 assignments and they are very difficult and the examples he provide are not similar to the assignment.

His midterm was 35% and final 40%, but there wasn't anything on there that wasn't on his slides. He explains concepts well imo. His class is more about learning more data structures than implementing them, but he gives you resources to find out how to code them on the slides and he expects you to do them on your own since it's a x1 per week class.

Decent professor; definitely better than most. I enjoyed the class and had good feedback from the professor. The midterm and finals combined are 75% of the total grade (completed through honorlock). Lectures are good but you don't have to watch them, google can be your guide. He provides exam reviews which I found useful. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!

great prof, gives in-depth explanations on materials and the assignments are really engaging to work on, not too hard but it isn't an easy A either. All of his lectures are online so you don't have to come to class, but I would recommend it because his explanations are good. midterm and final are heavily weighted so make sure to study for them!

Professor Bajuelos is one of the best professor I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and will try to help you as much as he can. This class is easy, but expect to do some work if you want an A. Database is a very important topic for any CS student no matter what field you will specialize in. having some notion of DB is a must.

Professor Bajuelos is kind, caring, and attentive professor. He is very understanding is quick to reply for any questions or doubts you may have. The class consists of 3 assignments, and two exams (midterm & final). Overall assignments & exams are easy to do and he gives you tons of resources to use in case you get stuck. Best professor at FIU

I don't know why he's so respected, his XML videos are horrible, you learn nothing from his XML videos, and don't even learn how to program using it. Also why are we learning XML and not SQL..? Outdated, and doesn't teach us how to use basex.

Comment:

Prof Bajuelos can be difficult to understand due to his accent and mic. However, he has good intentions and is very accessible to answer your questions. Your grade is very heavily weighted on two exams(35% and 40%). Exam questions are more than reasonable. The assignments don't count for much but prepare you very well for the exams.

Class was tough for me. Little resources available to learn the material besides what he gives you. Tough to understand his power-points. I struggled in this class but the professor wasnt bad.

BEWARE FIU students. Socially distance yourself from this professor at all costs. To start it off, this professor barely explains anything and has a terrible accent that no one can understand. Myself and others have enrolled in the academy of YouTube to actually understand the materials. Finally, please do yourself a favor and don't take Bajuelos.

3 assignments, a midterm, and a final. The assignments are easy, but weigh very little. You'll need to study the material in order to pass, and the professor will post additional resources on top of the video lectures and textbook. This online class is honestly not all bad, especially compared to the others at FIU.

Professor Bajuelos was very responsive, patient, and helpful when I had (many) questions. His accent is very thick, so it may take some getting used to. Once I got used to it (and used video captions) I very much enjoyed his lectures. There is a free textbook, but I find I don't need it when I pay attention to the lectures. 2 exams, 4 assignments.

If you are taking this class remotely because of COVID, BEWARE. There are no zoom meetings, if you are bad with time management and motivation, you will struggle. You need to be prepared to set time aside to watch the videos because attendance is not required. Tests are difficult but if you study the guide he gives you will be fine.

This professor is amazing. His classes are very interesting and he uses several resources to make the content easier to assimilate. If you need help after class, he is happy to help and he is also willing to reconsider your grade for an assignment if you have questions or think you deserved more.

Bajuelos is one of the best professors at FIU. He is very knowledgeable, caring and understanding. Online courses are obviously more challenging than on-campus but he is very organized and he grades fairly. I would recommend taking this class with him.
