Reviews of professor Samuel Zalanga

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is the kindest professor in this university by far! He is extremely caring and understanding of all of his students and definitely expects you to succeed in his class. I would DEFINITELY take him again because even though the amount of work is a lot, he always goes in depth and engages with us in discussions. His lectures are very educational!

He is a very kind and sweet man, but he simply was not active in class. When he lectured, it was difficult to actually see his main points. His main way of teaching in this class is by watching documentaries, I believed we watched over 15 documentaries throughout the semester, and we did small group projects, where only 2 people were required.

You are required to attend the class for the majority of your grade but you are better off taking a different professor or just working on homework in his class as he just talks the entire time. His multiple-choice tests are almost incomprehensible, the course is just documentaries and forum posts about them and low-quality lectures.

Zalanga is very caring for the students. He will provide plenty of great feedback and encouragement for students. I took this class online, but he was still very active in the online forums and online class.

His lecture style isn't for everyone, but I mostly enjoyed being in his class. He does genuinely care for his students and the topics that he teaches. He assigns a lot of documentaries to watch, which are relevant, but very time-consuming. For the credit and grade I received, I would recommend Samuel. Be prepared to go into it putting in effort.

Professor Zalanga is the worst professor I have ever had. He teaches through only documentaries you have to watch outside of class and his actual lectures cover not even half the material they are supposed to but he still expects you to know it. He is very disrespectful to students, saying they are inadequate and criticizing their character.
