Reviews of professor Jonathan Fernandes

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The course needs to be reevaluated. The hw has no correlation to anything. You end up practicing something that's no applicable. And when you take the quizzes/exams you don't know what to do. In lectures he does not spend enough time defining what he is writing. For example, set complement, union,etc.Chill dude, but the course needs to be rethought

What I liked about Professor Fernandes was that he gives bonus points and exams are very similar to the study guides. However, this course requires you to spend a large amount of time doing group R-Projects. There are also challenging online weekly quizzes. His self-written homework contains proofs and theory that has no relevance to the exams.

Nice guy. But scared how there are no bad reviews. We had review material due the third day of classes. The review material was CALC III, CALC II was the prerequisite. Hw's are impossible to solve without seeking help. Lecture was very confusing, could not apply it to the hw, which then lead me to not understand material. Then I did bad on quiz.

He is no doubt the best Professor at UMD. I would recommend him a million times! He is so flexible and goes out of his way to help his students. His exams are 100% fair and he gives a lot of opportunity for bonus points. He handles online classes really well.

Most exam problems were similar to those from a test bank that he provided (which was quite extensive), all the problems were solved during lectures and discussion sessions. 

I am not sure if it just me thinking this: some of my peers just don't seem to want to work, or don't know how to work/study for a college level class.

I liked how he would post lecture notes online, the problem is it is hard to follow the notes. Being said, it as also difficult to follow in lecture, he goes very fast and misses important areas that connect the concepts together. That alone is making me struggle in his class.

His class is not so organized and he expects you to take exams without a formula sheet, in a class where formulas are key! His exams are very similar to sample exams but for some reason, he did not post all answers to his final and exam 2 sample exams, he made it a scavenger hunt to find answers! Made the experience difficult.

Solid statistics class, feel like I learnt a lot. The entire class collaborated together (with his permission) to compile a solution manual to his final exam test-bank. While the solutions were already available in his provided notes, it was still pretty cool!

By far one the best professors at UMD. Very generous when giving extra credits. Exams are fair and directly from his lecture notes. Will definitely take him again!
