I really hate it when people say tests are too easy. You can just take a higher-level course if you think your ability is so high, no need to show off.

Crystal clear explanation, really tries to make math interesting, and actually does a good job of making math interesting. He's the course coordinator and I think his tests and problem sets are very well designed (a bit easy at times though). I would've like something a bit more interesting, but I regret not taking MAT157.

Alfonso made Math 100 a blast. He explained the contents very well, and was glad to help his students when we needed it. He kept the class interesting, and midterms were fair. If you could, definitely take his Math 100 class

He made everything clear in calculus, you will definitely not regret taking Math 100 lectures with him. With his clear and simple notes, it's not going to be that much suffering.

Alfonso is an amazing prof. He gives crystal clear explanations and extremely relevant examples that will appear again on the test. Math 100 is not an easy course especially if you haven't taken calculus before. If you have to take it, try your best to get Alfonso, and make sure you go to class.

Very good professor, knows what he's talking about and all around a cool guy. But I do not recommend you take this class if you haven't taken calculus in high school. I did not and I struggled regardless of the awesome prof.

He is fantastic! His explanations are clear, and he gives many examples that are similar to ones on midterms. Mind you, exams are NOT easy, but if you keep up with your studying it will be fine. I did have a high school background in calculus, but many friends were success in this class without any background.

EXCELLENT professor. Would highly recommend, but you should know this is a challenging class. Assignments were hard, but satisfying. Midterms were easier. Good balance of explanations/examples and exercises in lecture. Taught some very interesting applications that the textbook didn't cover. Very enthusiastic. Would highly recommend Alfonso!

Amazing professor. Very slow and thorough in his explanations. He has a slight accent that should not be a problem for students. Tests and assignments were fair. My friends are I were disappointed that he doesn't teach MATH101.

While his name is misspelled here, Alfonso Gracia-Saz is an excellent calculus professor who I would recommend to pretty much anyone. This man has an unparalleled ability to impart information in a clear and concise manner.

Amazing prof. Notes are always clear and he will only teach what you need to know for the tests. He is very helpful and lays out the material in a way that is easy to follow. I actually switched from Budney to Alfonsos class, it was too good to pass up. Best prof I have had so far! If you can get in Alfonsos class, do it! I highly recommend him.

What a baus. He knows exactly what he is talking about. He derives any new formulas, and then gives a bunch of examples, so you really learn the material. Great personality, really helpful, 100% fair, won't ever try and trick you, and is just awesome. Tons of respect for students. Asks for student input, and will always answer any questions. EPIC

Good Prof, doesn't believe in not giving enough time for a midterm. He cares about making his students learn, as opposed to a lot of professors who are more focused on their research than their students.
