Reviews of professor petros hadjicostas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The professor is good, but he is very harsh when it comes to grading. Incorrect notation can result in losing tons of points even if you get the answer correct. Homework only accounts for 5% of your grade and the other 95% comes from quizzes and tests. Definitely not an easy class with this professor.

I thought Stat 411 was pretty boring, but Dr. Hadjicostas is definitely a good instructor. Especially at UNLV, he's easily top 10 (rip unlvmath). Clear lectures, great feedback, homework is challenging enough to learn the concepts, and he is SUPER Greek loud. The course isn't too difficult if you give it a fair shake. I would take him again anytime

He's a shining star in an awful UNLV math department. He is tough, gives a lot of homework, asks hard questions on the exams, and can be rude at times, but he's a overall good guy and does an excellent job teaching. At the end of the day, he's fair and he cares about the students.

Notation is huge with him. The material can be confusing at times but make sure you're good with calculus 2 material and you follow his directions exactly or he will take off a ton of points. Beware the red pen!!! Didn't have to do double integrals which was nice.

Take this class. Its an easy A if you do all the quizzes and practice exams he provides before an exam. I didnt get an A because I missed 80% of the quizzes. Still got a B+ because his exam is straight forward. His notes has pretty much all the answers to quizzes and tests.

Petros makes a lot of bad faith jokes about how he marks students wrong. This is an extremely exam heavy class with harsh grading. A lot of concepts are not explained thoroughly enough leading to a lot of self studying. The last thing I want to say is that this is his first in person class since 2019 a lot of rating may be inflated by online peeps.

Lectures are sometimes hard to understand and don't get a lot of chances to ask questions. Mostly just memorizing formulas, his explanations aren't the best, but his TA made up for it by being a lot more coherent.

My biggest advice is to GRIND the study guides (which are previous exams), the tests are so similar to them. He is loud and blunt I think he's a fairly nice guy who cares for his students. Strict on notation, but if you read his slides it should be ok. If you study early and a lot, you'll be fine. Just make sure you utilize the study guides!

This teacher is EXTREMELY rude and arrogant, and very discouraging in helping us understand his rigid old-school way of doing things. He just points at slides in lectures and makes menacing remarks saying he'll fail us if we dont write the awkward notation the way he wants it. Oh and his final was NINE hours. Not the kinda person i wanna be around
