Reviews of professor Renato Bettiol

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I'm taking MAT 155 async w him and if you're planning to take this lab with calculus next sem, don't with this professor. His lectures are just using Mathmatica, he's not going to teach you actual calculus he is teaching you how to use a computer software to do calculus. Which is not helpful because in actual calculus that's not allowed.

He is a good teacher but the course is really difficult so his method of teaching might not apply to all. He goes alittle quick than other teachers but if you ask him to slow down or repeat he'll be happy to. One test for the semester and 2 question quizzes which he will tell you when. The exam is really similar to the Test you just need to study

Great Professor! He explains everything carefully with lots of details. He stops all the time to check if anyone has questions and only continues after he's figured it out. If you have any questions about the class, you can email him or ask him after the class is over. The Professor posts on Blackboard the textbook links to the specific page.

I would not take this professor again. Does all the work in his head and has trouble explaining material. Study guides are completely different from the exams. Half of the time wasn't in class, was in a different country. Do not take him for Calculus.

Bettiol is a nice person but not the best teacher. I had him when the pandemic first started and even before it was still hard. He's very fast but he does ask if anyone has questions. He says his quiz and test are like the hw but there's little similarity between them. He also checks if people got answers online so be careful of things like chegg.

This professor is very clear on how this class would run. Attendance is not mandatory, so you would be able to watch the lectures if you're absent from the zoom meeting, but most of his lectures are pre-recorded. He's also a very nice professor and explains the lectures really well.
