Professor Joseph sees education as a team effort, his goal being that his students learn as much as they can. He adjusts his curriculum and his lectures in order for his students to keep as much information as they can. He's also pretty funny.

Awesome
Prof. Esquibel is very caring. He wants every student to pass but you will have to put in effort. I had him for lab and lecture. Notecards weren't allowed in exams, but if you studied the material, it will be easier for you. Lectures are easy to follow and are very entertaining.

Awesome
Prof. Joseph's course material was user-friendly and organized. He allowed two attempts for each quiz with 5 chapter exams. He used online lecture videos with analogies to relate material to every day life. He also gives chapter outline and study guides. Textbook was accessible for free online. You'll have to put in time and effort, but you'll be given everything to get an A. Best prof, I must say!
