Reviews of professor Jimmy Calanchini

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He has both deep knowledge for the course & a natural ability to teach well. I highly recommend him as a prof. I felt comfortable approaching him in office hours. Tests were proctored, but it didn't matter so long as you were keeping up with lectures and reading.

One of the best professors I've had at UCR. His lectures are so entertaining and informational, and he really cares about his students! Go to lectures, complete the textbook readings, do the Inquizitives, and you will succeed! Overall this class was a 10/10 for me.

One of my favorite professors I have had at UCR. He is extremely caring, he makes the concepts and lectures so easy to understand and he really cares about the style of teaching in order for his students to succeed. The difficulty of the research paper really depends on your TA though. His quizzes were pretty easy as long as you go to lecture.

He knows exactly what he is talking about so there really is no confusion in how he lectures. He is really laid back so don't worry about him super strict during class. He grades on a few things (five midterms together make up 40% of the class grade). Two APA style papers which are harder than they seem. Apply yourself and try and you'll be fine.

I really loved this class, Dr. Calanchini was kind, inspiring, and great at teaching. The class is set up in a way to allow you to learn the material, and nothing assigned feels redundant or unnecessary. His lectures are extremely interesting and he made himself available to students often. Definitely would take a class with him again

Amazing professor, he's really chill and laidback. He seems to really care for his students and made research methods more easy to understand and more fun. Take him!!!!
