Reviews of professor Joao Faria

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
NEVER TAKE THIS CLASS. He basically believes a 60 is a passing grade. Averages for each exam are a 50 or below. Never lets anyone have their own opinion. All exams has random questions and the book is the most confusing thing. Any other professor would be better than this guy. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If you miss classes, he wont let you take the exam

This professor was extremely unhelpful when it came to helping his students, helping everyone understand whats expected of them in the exams and just being kind to stressed out students. He clearly just teaches to get a paycheck and we as a class even went to a higher up to let our disappointment be known Right after our first exam.

I called during his office hours and was laughed at for not understanding something (I'm not kidding). The lectures weren't helpful, but the exercise questions he hands out are. Answer those and you'll easily pass the exams. Just read enough of the textbook to understand the graphs and tables. He is mean, not a great teacher. Sorry if you have him.

This class is solemnly based off 3 exams. No assignments. Dr. Faria's teaching in class is all over the place. He only teaches graphs during his lectures and makes jokes?? I feel like he wastes our time with his teaching habits, everyone leaving pretty silent after every class a bit distraught with the professionalism & what we just learned. AVOID!
