Reviews of professor Edson Santoro

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Terrible. Doesnt care about you. Doesnt take the time to make his own syllabus or canvas so he isnt aware of anything the entire semester and neither are the students. If you have a question, get ready for a one sentence reply or to be directed to a help desk. Youll have to do too much work to pass. Paper at the end of class that is pass fail.

He's a creepy guy. Makes some pretty inappropriate jokes about the girls present, and laughs it off. When it comes to lectures, he didn't show up to half of them bearing some form of excuse, and eventually canceled the last month of classes saying, "were prepared." Not a fan, would choose someone else.

This was a gen ed course for me and it was great. Pretty light, graded on one (small) project, attendance, one homework assignment a week and 4 exams including the final. I only went to class, never opened the book and did well. He's funny and good at explaining the concepts. Would recommend.

There wasn't a week that went by when he did not show up to class. It was always canceled and he acted as if we were prepared even though we barely went over the material in class. The economics department at USF is terrible so try to find the less of the evils, somehow.

Class consists of a weekly activity and quiz, as well as 1 main paper and 2 midterms. All super easy if you review the power point slides. Attendance is taken via iClicker, but 7/10 times he didn't even use it. He also makes weird jokes about dating the female students multiple times per class, which I didn't like.

Overall it isn't a hard class and he's decent at explaining the concepts in class. Not a lot of homework either. However, he treats his class like it's highschool. Will yell at students for having an AirPod in or checking their phone, like this is college. He also makes strange jokes and comments that are borderline creepy at times

my only issue is that everything is graded by the state or an automatic system. other than that, SUPER nice guy, extremely understanding, HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. i had a tough semester mentally and this man could not have been more helpful.

Make sure to go to every class, attendance is mandatory. Easy class overall, our tests were all online and not proctored. Only one homework a week which I had no problem with. Definitely reccomend! Also funny guy lots of jokes.

Class is asynchronous so you will be teaching yourself, which is easier said than done. Purchase of E-Textbook is required and I paid about $100 through the school. Coursework is done through the E-text and is not too difficult. I only passed because I forced myself to read the chapters and take notes Don't expect to hear from Santoro too often.

He is funny, but class is hard. You will not know your final grade until in OASIS
