Reviews of professor Gustavo De Veciana

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
extremely difficult class, and de veciana doesnt make it any easier. he acknowledges that his exam and homework questions are designed to trick you, and there is no reason why half of the class should be receiving a C or below. overall, very hard class, but don't take it with de veciana if you want an A.

Dr. DeVeciana was an incredible professor! He makes a clear effort to know everyone and involve them to participate in class. His lectures are amazing, and you can build your number sense and intuition throughout the course. Tests are heavy but they follow past exams closely, and you only need a 90 to get an A in his class so that's pretty sweet!

Good, effective lectures. He gives lots of material to study with, but the grading on homework and exams is strict. If you don't get the exact answer, you're getting half credit at most. Gustavo is the goat tho.

Dr. De Veciana is a very challenging and interesting professor. He makes you work hard and also himself works very hard to teach the material. He is very helpful in office hours and is willing to walk through problems to help you understand. He does assign quite a bit of homework that takes a good amount of time. Great probability professor overall

I would not take this class with anyone else at UT. Gustavo is the man. The downside to his class is there is A LOT of homework that is graded strictly and is worth 16% of your overall grade. You can expect to spend a lot of time doing homework, but he is willing to help you. Exams are fair. This is a hard class but Gustavo makes it manageable.

I absolutely love De Veciana. He had the best lectures of any professor I have ever had. He is concise and does a lot of examples in class. His tests were extremely fair (not easy, but if you put in the work you'll get an A). The only cons are that he wasn't too helpful in office hours and he made the final stupid hard because grades were too good.
