Reviews of professor Zachary Piso

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The class is based on one, big group project and Zach gives you work that relates and is useful with trying to find solutions for your project. He pushes you to work hard on the projects, but is a fair grader. The class itself requires lots of outside work, but he does a fair job trying to give us class time. He is a really smart, caring guy.

Great Prof! He genuinely cares about his students and is willing to work with you if you ever need any help with a paper. The class was super interesting, but be ready to read each week for discussions. Overall, there were three unit papers and a final paper revising one of the three. There were no tests or quizzes. Definitely would take him again!

Prof. Piso is genuinely a super nice guy and really cares about his studentsHe makes time to get to know everyone and is willing to meet outside of office hours. Only wish he would sometimes 'dumb down' some of the contents because it's an into class. 3 papers and the final is just a revision of one of the first three.

This class does a good job at preparing you for working on real world projects with a TEAM. So that was the main thing that made it stressful because you're stuck with the same group the entire semester. Take note of how the readings relate to your project. Communicate with him and ask questions bc it will be stressful if you put it off.
