Reviews of professor Fortunato Bentolila

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This professor is genuinely terrible, and a bad reflection on FIU, because of his heavy workload and inconsistent grading I had to take more time out of schedule to study in his class which caused me to fall behind on my classes. He grades different kids differently, he's more lenient to kids he likes and his lectures do not help at all also so GL

 He was my Calculus 2 professor. He is very understanding and will extend due dates on assignments according to whether the class needs more time. His lectures provide a good example of what will be on the tests, and when compared to all other assignments are very similar. The workload is a lot, with lots of assignments due throughout the week.

If you have him as an option, take him. This course consisted of 3 tests and 1 final. All were pretty simple to understand so long as you do all assignments he gives. Offers a lot of opportunities to improve grades and is a wonderful person overall. Please take him as he is the best in the physics department!

I honestly think Prof. Bentolila is an amazing person, but he should not be a professor. I have never left a review on a prof., but felt inclined to after seeing the 5 stars left here. This was by far the most stressful, disorganized, and overall frustrating class Ive ever taken. Its not just that physics is hard, this prof. made it 100x worse.

I took Professor Bentolila for Calculus II and I must highlight his generosity and ability to communicate with his students. He was very lenient with assignment due dates and was always available on Canvas or WhatsApp to answer any questions. His lecture notes are also excellently organized.

The teaching is subpar. The amount of work he gives is reasonable for a student who wants to learn the subject. He lets you have notes in tests and provides a generous amount of extra credit. Tons of changes in due dates and assignment style made things hectic but all the changes benefited the students. Be ready to self-study physics.

Professor Bentolila is a professor that really cares about his students and his class. He is very considerate and wants you to succeed in the class. He gives out extra credit, which helps one prepare for the exams. One can tell Professor Bentolila really likes teaching, he takes the time and has patience with all his students to help them learn.
