Reviews of professor Tommaso Buvoli

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is really hard. First of all he doesn't even lecture. He literally explain the lecture notes he posted online. Never feel entertain to go to this class. Basically learn everything by myself. He's midterm is hard and he grades very specific. You literally have to memorize the answers and steps. He sucks compare to other teachers.

As a person Prof. Buvoli is not bad he seems like a cool dude but his lectures are extremely confusing. His exam is pretty difficult which is mostly based on the lecture so make sure to attend his lecture. Quiz is nothing like exam. Although he does provide the class with lots of extra credit opportunities and he curves at the end of the semester.

By far the worst class I have taken. Lectures are based on confusing handwritten notes by him. The homework has no correlation to exams. Exams are worded in a way that leaves you unsure of what kind of answer he is looking for. I would not recommend his class to anyone.

The class is not that difficult, totally exaggerated by people who search for answers instead of doing their homework. Quiz problems are exact copies of weekly HW problems, midterms can be challenging but scoring above average is enough for an A grade. Excess extra credit/curve is given and easily completable. Do the Homeworks and you will be fine.

Tomasso zooms ahead in explaining problems, but always has a great solution :)

I was apart of the 35/100 average on the midterm class. Lectures are very unorganized. He goes over his own notes (which dont help at all) be ready for the tests that come with this class because theyre very conceptual based and at random times, when you walk into discussion, there sometimes will be a quiz. OVERALL, DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!

Gives good lectures but doesn't really cover much example problems. Sometimes lectures (especially towards the ends of the semester) feel rushed. The quizzes in discussion are nothing compared to the final exam. Final exam is extremely harder that all the quizzes that I took as a student. Overally good professor but his tests are insane.

I went into his office hours to ask questions about today's course/lectures. He did not answer my question. A wasted of my time. The exams he gave are hard and hards to understand. Exam materials are not cover in lecture, good luck to anyone who is taking his course.

Tommaso Buvoli is a great professor. His teaching method is effective and clear, his lectures are interesting, and though his class is challenging it is very rewarding. His grading is fair. If you are registered to take his course know that you can always go to his office hours, as many students found them useful, especially before midterms.
