Reviews of professor Anthony Fontes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he's clearly on a power trip, forces you to go to office hours, terrible feedback. assignment questions are practically riddled and he doesn't do a good job of explaining. every assignment is basically repeated questions and increasing nit picking.

Fontes is a solid professor and makes a difficult class (206), barrable. That being said, he is a tough grader and moves class online too often. Thankfully, his feedback is thorough and he's always available for office hours. Probably not the easiest 206 option, but definitely a viable one few will complain about.

Take a class with this man. He is so great. You will not regret.

Professor Fontes cares a lot about his students, but he is not the greatest professor. So far this semester, he has answered zero of my emails, canvas messages and has missed two of our scheduled office hours. He encourages you to go to office hours but even after reminding him in class, he did not show up. Good in class but not outside of it.

Man loves canceling classes, it is good to not have classes once a while. But he is at a different level, he cancels class once two weeks or even worse. And DOES NOT modify the due date and rubric for the assignment, so he demands the stuff that was never taught in class due to his absence. Also, very harsh grader and disorganized instructor

One of the best professors I had at AU! His lectures can be messy sometimes but it is just because of the enormous amount of material we were going through. He is very inspirational and will make you interested in Latin America. Also, his research on Guatemalan prisons is remarkable. If you keep up with all the readings, it will be easy to pass

Professor Fontes is pretty new at AU hence why he clearly doesnt have his bearings just yet. Heavy lecturer, just a few 5 point assignments that make up waaaay to much of your grade, gives good feedback but really hard to work with him to make your paper what he wants.

He is an interesting professor it just seems like SIS-206 is not a fun class to teach or take. Just do the work and you will be fine. Also, Fontes' outside work and professional research is super interesting!

I really liked Professor Fontes. I definitely suggest him because he is super personable and gives you really good feedback, even if you have no clue what's going on in the class. If you schedule an office hours with him, he'll give you all the help you need to do well on any assignment. He make's a super terrible class tolerable.
