Reviews of professor Joao Santos

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was overall pretty easy. I just had an issue with office hours. I joined this class in the fourth week of the semester (pretty late) and he complained about me 'not being ready'. Lectures include too many tangents for me to be interested. This class also has a set 300 points for the grade, so show up to turn in assignments and quizzes.

Professor Santos is a good professor who knows about geography. My class was almost 3 hours long, but he would let us out an hour early every time. He was only on campus one day a week so make sure to go to his office hours if you need any help. The material is easy and homework and quizzes are simple.

Lectures are DREADFUL he gives so much information and gets sidetrack explaining one thing that in the end you don't even know what he was talking about in the first place. However, the class is super easy and the textbook has everything you need to know for his assignments and exams.

TAKE HIM! Easiest class I ever took! DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK, you will NEVER use it. I only went to class when we had a few quizzes/tests. The midterm and final was take home. He offers extra credit and it helps. The quizzes are 4 questions and are based off the lecture from that day, so you wont have to come to class unless there is a quiz.

This class was asynchronous. There were only about 1-2 HW assignments a week, very easy. You can tell Prof. Santos is very passionate about the subject (especially rocks lol). I liked learning about the earth, atmosphere, continents, etc. He taught really well and definitely knew the subject entirely. I recommend taking his class because he's great

Professor Santos is great. There are extra credits (field trips) and the lectures are taught very well. He is also very responsive.

Dr. Santos keeps the information fun. You have to study for the final exam. Easy quizzes and midterms, two extra credit assignments. Great instructor.

He has recorded lectures. There are weekly news assignments which are fairly easy. There are 5 labs that are not too difficult to complete. He is an easy grader. There are 3 exams, and they are not timed. He also provides a study guide. His exams are pretty much based off his lectures and don't really need the textbook. Overall, the class is easy.
