Reviews of professor Andrea Chiovenda

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very interesting man and knows his stuff. There is a lot of reading to do for each class and the content can be hard to learn. I personally did not enjoy this as I am more of a visual and interactive learner. His class does get boring as all he does is talk. Overall, it is a challenging course.

He knows for sure what he's talking about. Very little room for mistakes. The only regular assignment is a reflection of the material at the end of the week, and two chapters to read per week. It sounds easy enough. lecture heavy! material interesting, class boring.

If you are a visual learner, do not take this class! It is very lecture heavy and he will speak the entire class without any chance of student participation. Be prepared to read at least 20 pages a night and take notes! Though he is a brilliant man, it is hard to pass his class if you don't read the material or listen to his lectures.

He impresses with his long list of accomplishments and multilingualism. He is super nice but tends to dominate the conversation in class even though your assignment each night will likely be giving your opinion on the readings and connecting it to another aspect of life. The material is definitely challenging but super interesting.
