Reviews of professor Kevin Ferreira van Leer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Ferreira has by far been one of my favorite professors! He truly cares for his students and wants to create a comfortable environment for them while in class. He doesn't require a book, but does have articles you need to read for credit and for lecture. He's super understanding if you turn in an assignment late! Overall, he's great!

Take him! He is a kind and understanding professor with great lectures. He really cares about his students and constantly checks in with the class to make sure everyone's expectations are being met and students are understanding the content. Attendance is mandatory. All the assignments are not difficult and lead up to the final research paper.

Kevin is a very understanding professor. He will give you extensions if you need it and is always willing to help. The class did not have any tests or quizzes. Mostly just working up to the final research paper thru out the whole semester. He has a weird grading system and takes a long time to grade. Just stay on top of your work and ask questions.

I am a transfer student so this was my first semester at Sac State and I was VERY nervous. Kevin, yes you can call him by his first name, was very nice and welcoming. He always went the extra mile for us. Dont miss class or you will fall behind.

He is definitely a great professor! He makes sure his expectations are sufficient and not too crazy. He doesn't require attendance, but does have alt. assignments if you don't show up. His class requires participation in groups, but it's pretty fun. He shows passion and is super accessible to students! Definitely recommend him!

Professor F. van Leer has been one of my favorite professors thus far! While he is lax on our schedule (and his own), this is a University, and it is our responsibility to take ownership for what we get out of a class. His lectures are great and filled with engaging group discussions. His grading was based on a clear rubric + pass/fail. Take him!

He was a good professor at first, but as the semester went on he wasn't so nice. He is an extremely hard grader and doesn't budge, so do not bother emailing him about your grade. I emailed him about my final grade and he lowered my grade. SO... good luck.

Do not recommend!! He was always late to class sometimes even 30 minutes late while we sat waiting for him. We are paying for our education & this is unacceptable. He was very unorganized & kept pushing back assignment. He was a very tough grader which didn't make sense. Most of the class was always confused & had to teach ourselves the material.

CHLDDV 132 Kevin is an amazing teacher! I love the way he teaches. He does change his schedule around to make sure it accommodates to the students needs. If you talk to him about something you are behind with or don't understand he will work with you.
