Reviews of professor Antonio Bento

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best professors I've had at USC. Super easy going and cares about students. Hw is usually 3 very short articles a week. Participating in class is easy and important b/c he'll automatically like you. He has a great sense of humor and is understanding. No midterm, no final. 3 papers for the whole semester. TAKE HIM

Many students rave about Bento's class but my biggest issue was no access to him outside of class. If you don't understand asking questions, doesn't lead to clarity and he's not very supportive. If you don't just pick up the content easily, it's difficult to get what you need to be successful in his class. Also his TA's only work one hour per week

His lectures were extremely dense and a bit confusing at times. However, he is very nice, and his lectures have many valuable real-world applications. As long as you study for the exams and do your work, you will do well. You need to come to lectures and take good notes to know to do well on the exam.

Love Professor Bento! He really cares about his students and just wants everyone to get an A. The midterm was allowed a cheat sheet, and the final was just a paper and presentation. A few short assignments where he grades really easily. He doesn't take attendance and there's no participation grade. Would recommend everyone to take him!
