Reviews of professor Ricardo Ungo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The Inland Waterways was interesting. We had several guest speakers from the industry which brought lots of insights to the topic. There's a textbook, but his lecture slides are useful and well organized. There are 2 midterms, final project, 2 assignments, and a final. Dr. Ungo is from the industry too, gave us mini cases to solve, very practical.

This was one of the most difficult courses I took in ODU because I do not like math or statistics. I liked that the professor was available to answer questions, and office hours helped a lot. You have 2 assignments, 2 midterms, a final and 5 bonus homeworks that give you extra credit. It bumped my grade to B+. It's not easy but Dr. Ungo is nice.

Had to drop the class. Doesn't respond to emails the syllabus even had spring break listed on feb 7. Could not fix homework link to be able to submit the hw that he did not give you the materials to learn how to do. Spent 5 hours on Chegg figuring it out. 10 Students dropped his course on the fourth day due to all the errors and no correspondence.

Professor Ungo is a kind person to talk to but a HORRIBLE professor. He takes months to grade assignments and makes work unclear. Asking him questions is worse than talking to a brick wall. You have to figure the homework out by yourself and the tests are alright. If you have the option of NOT taking his class DO NOT TAKE IT!

He's a nice guy. That said his lectures are horrible, he spends most of his lecture time on things that don't matter and blows through the tougher formulaic aspects of the course. His quizzes/tests do not have many questions so not much room for error. If he didn't use curves as heavily as he does his failure rate would be VERY high. Do not take.

Dr. Ungo is a very nice man. His coursework is difficult, but if you study the material it isn't too bad. Flashcards allowed with exams. He is very helpful out of class as well; he responds to emails relatively quickly and with concise answers. Has an accent and is soft spoken, so you'll probably want to sit up front.

He was an overall okay professor. You really can't understand anything he says, because of his accent. He is really excited to teach though. If you don't take good notes then you won't be prepared for the exams. He gives a pre-test study guide and practice test which are super helpful but he doesn't explain anything extra in class.

Overall it was a good course. His lectures a well organized. Do extra credit homework. Replies fast to emails. I got A- but had to work a lot for it.
