Reviews of professor Roberto Benedicto

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Benedicto was one of my favourite teachers at McGill. His class was extremely interesting and he touched on so many important topics. If you do all the readings (which he posts online, no text book), and attend conferences, it will be an easy A. He is passionate about what he teaches and makes class pass very fast.

I learned so much from this class, the readings were very hard at times but the lectures did help. The material was always interesting, and the tests weren't too bad. As for the conferences, you don't have to participate except for a group project. The TAs were great as well!

Bobby is so cool. He is a super interesting, very knowledgable guy who effortlessly connects with his students. His lectures are interesting, readings he selects are an eclectic and engaging mix. 8:30 am class but tbh it was worth it every time, gsfs 250 was def my favorite and most rewarding class this sem: fascinating and inspiring.

For a 3 hour lecture, the time has never flown by so fast. He is an extremely engaging lecturer that explores topics relevant to current culture. The grading criteria from the TAs for the conference presentation were very broad and weren't explained well. I would take this prof again, one of my favorite classes this semester.

Prof. Benedicto is an incredible lecturer and was able to explain conceptually challenging material in very clear and engaging ways. The readings can be quite difficult, yet as long as you attend the lectures, it shouldn't be difficult to keep up. There are few assignments, and they are graded clearly and fairly.

Prof. Benedicto is awesome, he is very friendly and quite humorous. The class is structured to make you stay on top of your work though, and the readings can be conceptually challenging to understand sometimes. But he explains them during his lectures so just expect to put some work in.

My favourite class last semester, Bobby is the best. He does an amazing job turning dense academic texts into easily digestible material. Lectures are fun and engaging. If there were one elective I recommend anyone take at McGill it is this one. It's also nice that it's very easy!

His lectures were very interesting and dynamic. I did not miss a single one even if it was a 8:30. He is very open to student feedback, and really wants his students to understand the course material and the readings.

Professor Benedicto is exceptionally kind, and his use of pop culture during the lectures was great, especially because most of the readings are challenging. My only problem was with his slides since he didn't use his own words but instead quotes from the readings, making them hard to follow.
