Reviews of professor Diogo Pinheiro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a heavy lecturer and does not do a lot of power points to follow along with. So if you read and pay attention his exams are not hard. He is very flexible and has openly stated he would rather his students sleep enough to drive them worry about a deadline. As long as you advocate for yourself you can get through his courses and learn a lot.

He's a great professor. The classes were mainly power point driven but he would elaborate and give examples when clarification was needed. Drops the lowest test score so potential to skip final if overall grade is an A by finals wk. The toughest part of the class was the final paper which was 7 pages based on a sociological perspective with cites.

Dr. Pinheiro was a great professor. He is very laid back and cares about his students passing. There are 4 tests and 8 quizzes. He drops the lowest test and quiz score. There is one 5-7 page paper. Go to class and he will go over the essay questions before each test. Quiz questions are actual test questions and he goes by the PowerPoint for tests.

3 exams and a final (not cumulative). 8 quizzes but they were open book, open note. Very lecture heavy, and they were sometimes boring. Dr. P is very understanding of the stress of school, so he is not harsh on grading.

2 tests and 1 paper and weekly labs- Always available for office hours. Dont try to wait til last minute for your paper- go to his office as much as possible for feedback and help because it will really make your paper a lot better. Tests are like 20 questions and an essay- he posts lectures from the book so you dont really have to buy it

LatinX class: 2 tests, 1 presentation, 1 paper. Readings for class are posted online and are scholarly articles so it is dense- but he goes over them in class and you discuss. It is a very interesting class, great professor, and always available for office hours and email.
