Reviews of professor Jonathan Fernandes

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The course is well structured, clear guidelines and lots of resources for students to succeed. 

Records and live streams all lectures (allowed for a lot of flexibility for my schedule) and lectures notes are live streamed and available instantly. 

It did feel like a 400 level class, had to work hard but I learnt a lot!

absolute great man. Students stopped attending class bc he posts notes + lectures online (& many admit to not catching up on them) which is prob why ppl got lower grades and started to complain. But if you go to class, do the bare minimum for HW, youll be more than fine. He dropped our lowest exam and wants everyone to do well in calc 2.

Not a very good professor this semester at least. He was incredibly hard to reach outside of class and poorly communicated about due dates, sometimes surprising you with an 11:59 am due date instead of an 11:59 pm due date. He definitely has positives, he records his lectures and post his notes although he is a bit inconsistent with posting notes.

this prof is a great teacher of concepts but can never make it to the application in the lecture. be prepared to do a lot of self teaching and to go to every discussion, office hour, and gss session that is held. go to class, pay attention, ask questions. prof fernandes cares deeply ab his students but will give lots of hw and class is test heavy

STAT 400 is a 3 credit class, yet the workload feels like it a 7 credit class. Between the weekly homework's and quizzes and the R projects, I spend at least 15 hours weekly outside of class time. Its ridiculous, and something needs to change.  And when the homework has nothing to do with the lectures, it hurts you on the quizzes.

Prof. Fernandes consistently showed up late to class. His lectures focus too much on theory and history of mathematical concepts rather than concrete examples. The TA you sign up for is CRUCIAL; my TA is the only reason I succeeded. Be prepared to teach yourself concepts outside of class. Invest in a full solutions manual to the textbook.

Dr. Fernandes is a good professor all around. He definitely cares about his students, but his class is understandably hard. His lectures are long and sometimes get very confusing. The homework and exams are challenging, but he won't surprise you with an unfair question. He's not the best professor, but he is definitely above average.
