Reviews of professor Benjamin Varela

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Run... you can't get a worse professor. He does examples with the class but doesn't check if any of the math is right so in-class examples can end up messing you up if you use them for studying on upcoming tests or homework. Also 3 tests = 75% of your grade and homework is the other 25%.

Dr. Varela is a real hoot! I love his classes because, unlike most professors, he teaches the concepts through examples. Some people say he doesn't focus on the derivations, but he does an adequate job, as well as the book actually, without all the tedious algebra crunching. His exams are hard, but he prepares you well.
