Reviews of professor Luis Oliveira

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
TAs r ur saviors. Doesn't finish lecture in time->behind schedule->very disorganized hw deadlines, especially towards the end. very annoying that he has pop quizzes and the only prof who has a cumulative exam3 in lower level classes. Slides doesnt reflect anything like exam, no practice questions. Have a discord to answer ques but ignores students

He's good, some lectures can get a little confusing, but overall a great lecturer. Projects, labs, and exams were all fair and fine. My only real complaint is he took forever to release the submission links. Other than that he is a great professor.

I love this guy. I thought he was funny and was clear in his lectures. The projects dont really hold your hand as much as your probably used to. They are awesome btw

Luis is a very kind guy. Lectures can be dry due to nature of material, but OH are very helpful. Exams are VERY difficult for an average student such as myself -- but the projects are not awful (besides MALLOC). Study harder for the exam than you think you have to.

Take Luis for 449! He prepares you well for 1550. Lectures were recorded so I was able to rewatch if I did not understand something the first time. The projects in general were not too bad but definitely make sure to start early, especially malloc. Exams on the other hand were difficult but manageable and fair.

Structured approach and did everything to help students grasp material. Very knowledgeable on systems and made topics very interesting. Assignments were challenging but instructions are well written and he prepares students well. Students would benefit from his teaching style if he taught upper level courses like compilers or operating systems

expert, calm, and kind professor. Projects are tough but I felt I learned a lot after completing them. Lectures are little superficial, need to go to oh and recitations.

This professor will use any method to prevent you from passing the course.

Oliveira is a great lecturer. I disprove of how much he's altered this course however - I've seen what they used to teach & it looks much more in-depth. I wish he'd encourage use of the textbook more often - it's a really great resource.

The lectures are very boring, but sometimes he sneaks in jokes. Most of the projects are incredibly easy, however the checkoffs can be a pain depending on the checkoff ta. However, exams are difficult so make sure to study for those, as the average grade was below 65. He also has office hours almost daily, so you can always get help if you need it.
