Reviews of professor Felipe Viana

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I gave him the benefit of the doubt being a new professor and all, but he truly did poor teaching this past semester. His generous grading for the last exam got me through fine, but up until then it was the most stressful class ever. If the class average for an exam is about 25% there's definitely something wrong.

Avoid this man at all possible cost. Here's how this mans dynamics class went EVERY SINGLE TIME: *He does a problem completely wrong,* *has students correct him every single time,* *proceeds to say it your responsibility to learn dynamics, not his* This man has no set plan when he comes to teach a class and seems to lack knowledge of the material.

350 characters is not enough to describe what a trainwreck this prof is. I have never once felt so lost in a class. Highest exam average is a 30, this class made me consider dropping out. Exams have zero overlap with any review material or hw, if you take this class expect for the prof to set you up to fail with a smile on his face

Worst class I've taken by far. Based almost solely on tests. Does give extra credit so you can get 119 points in class and 60.01 is passing but good luck even getting that. The extra credit comes in the form of difficult test questions, I barely know how to do a simple problem, so its like no extra credit. He also doesn't curve. 50 should be a C.

If you take this class you might end up with an E. Avoid if possible!! I have been so lost for the past 4 months, it's unbelievable. Tests DO NOT reflect anything we have learned in class like wth, RIP.

The good: a C is 60-70, can be convinced to give EC problems. The bad: his teaching style, his notes, his ability to convey information, his organization, is morally against curving a course, monotone voice. The ugly: 3 exams  80% of the grade, no partial credit, is morally against teaching content that will be on the exams. teaching style.

Yes, the class was probably the hardest I ever took. However, Dr. Viana truly cares about his students and wants them to do succeed, but he will not simply hand you the grade. people just expect to pass based on cuves and extra credit and do not want to work for it. Again, it is a very hard class but it is because of the class material itself.

Ive done poorly in the past but its always my own doing, not the case here. Theres no preparing for his exams. Exam1 was so bad he had to make it take home. Exam2, majority got less than a 6/20, no curve. Final didnt match anything from slides, lecture, hw, or textbook. Im sure were all just really bad students, makes sense. Grade received: E
