Reviews of professor Carlos Costa

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His teaching style is different than most profs I've had. He doesn't treat the class like a lecture and encourages you to participate. He calls you out if you don't know your stuff/do the work so it can be intimidating at times but it helped me really grasp all the concepts. Classes and the worksheets in MINE 396 are important, prepare from them!

This professor knows little in his major so his teaching technique is to let students do lots lots of presentation. Suck!

The workload in Carlos' class is heavy but interesting. A great lecturer with incredible passion. He possesses the kind of teaching magic that gets you into the world of finance and evokes your interest in the subject matter. Really helpful professor! Clear instructions. The deliverables are heavy, but he's a fair grader.

Carlos is honestly a great prof. I had him for two courses. He gives great explanations and knows the content well. He also is funny so the lectures stay interesting. Despite being in a class with 30+ people, I felt like he was super open and personal with us all. The class is not an easy A but it is a relaxed class.

Great professor, but considering it was a 400 class, his participation marks will kill your grade if you aren't there 95% of the time. But he's a great guy with a sense of humor. Class is interactive full of discussions to make you think and apply the discussed material. I learned a lot in Carlos' class!

Professor Carlos has been one of the most supportive professors I've had in SFU Beedie. He really does care for his students. He will help you with anything and I wish I had more business professors like him. Note - He does make you work for it, so the workload is demanding. Do not leave the final project last minute - but you will learn a lot.
