Reviews of professor Giacomo Flora

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
do NOT take this professor!!!! The homework is crazy difficult, masters level hard, and there is no room for any extra credit. Some comp methods classes do not have a final, but his is worth 30%. He is open to meeting after class, but even this will not help you fully complete the homework. Unless you want a real challenge, do not take his class

The class was difficult but that is just because of the material. He is a good professor and really tries to make sure that his class understands the material. About one assignment per week that are a bit challenging but the tests are infrequent and not as hard as the homeworks.

I do not know why this school lets researchers teach. He seems unqualified to be teaching a course based in MATLAB, he stumbles through the MATLAB lectures and just tries stuff until something works sometimes. He flies through the coding in class and leaves everyone behind. Homework is very challenging. Tests are difficult and graded with no rubric

Class is useless, he had a few pop quiz-like assignments and then nothing for the past 2 months. Everything taught in class is posted online. Homework has nothing to do with what was done in class. Exams are on paper for a programming class which is stupid. You make functions for already created things and then cannot use them.

He tries his best to explain things but there is a slight language barrier. Class gets a lot harder as the semester goes on. Homework takes FOREVER, tests are VERY challenging after the first one. He is helpful in office hours and is willing to meet outside of his scheduled office hours. If you are looking for an easy MEE 314 class look elsewhere.
