Reviews of professor Benjamin Capistrant

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a good person But his teaching is honestly the worst I've seen. He cant explain simplest stuff- we pretty much teach ourselves. His grading focuses on nonsense details. Exams should be given twice the time he gives. extremely unorganized - hw feedbacks nowhere to be found, needs reminders from students to post things. just don't

Ben is a very nice prof, and clearly takes effort to make himself available to students outside of class through office hours and Slack channel. Beware long exams, but they get better over time. Readings are not a must but make following the lectures easier. Homework and Moodle quiz due every week, so take advantage of TA hours if you need it!

The tests are super easy, even boring, but disgustingly long. He knows it and he promised to change. But he didn't and probably never will. Grading of homework emphasizes on wording . Will be penalized multiple times in the same homework for the same reason. Bad at Moodle. Would post material on only one section of his class, including exam review.
