Reviews of professor Jeffrey Divino

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
LOVED Divino. He wants you to get an A. All of the lectures are live-streamed an posted. Material is interesting but you need to pay attention... it's PNB. He is very understanding and gives extra credit. Funny guy

Divino himself is a super nice guy, but his exams were awful. Lectures had way too much information to even make attending worth it, I ended up just taking notes on my own time. The exams ask for random pieces of information that you didn't even think were important. He isn't the worst and did offer extra credit, but this class was awful.

He is an incredible professor. I've taken 3 classes with him!! Hands on with students and more than happy to help outside of class. Didn't hesitate to give me exam extensions, always willing to help explain difficult topics. Lectures are a little messy and exams are hard but I honestly didn't study properly for some of them so the grade is on me.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever needs to know this much about fish. Jeff is awful and asks wildly stupid questions like how many middle ear bones a salmon has and who Patrick Star is descended from. This is exactly what I did not envision when picking PNB as my major.

Divino is a nice guy that cares about his students and tries his best to accomadate them. The work load on this class is unlike any other class I have ever taken (4 exams with project) the amount of work is overbearing. The exams are quite difficult as well. He is available to discuss concerns with and makes time. He grades the project fairly.

He's nice as a person. EXAMS ARE SOOOOOOO HARD. I don't recommend this class, it's absolute hell. Try to take another pnb classes instead. Exams are extremely specific. no HW, no other stuff. I can't express how specific and bad his exams are. Very hard, you put your whole brain in the test ton get an 80. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

Dr. Divino is a really nice professor and does care about his students. However, his heavy lecture material makes me struggle. If you want to pass the exam, read the notes under every single PowerPoint slide!!! I would take another exam rather than the research project (Presentation, Blog ).

Every lecture is essentially a weeks worth of material to review, and there are three lectures per week. Way too much information to learn for the time given.

Divino is a charismatic guy, and his class is extremely well organized and structured, which is something I miss now that I have to deal with less organized professors. The course is incredibly dense so it is very difficult but the content is very interesting and he is very accessible.
