Reviews of professor Nigini Oliveira

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Very eccentric, interesting guy. He's funny and tries to make lectures engaging.

He did an alright job, although his lectures were boring. However, he went back and changed grades after the point in time when grades were supposed to be official. So weeks after the quarter ends, suddenly your grade drops? Super unprofessional and I therefore have to give him a low score.

Nigini prioritizes the mental welfare of his students, and won't punish you if you get creative with your assignment. He was ideal for me as someone who likes to try new things. TA's in his classes are usually there to help you debug instead of to teach, so you can spend more time in project based learning than in lecture.

I learned amazing things about debugging and testing with Nigini in fun ways such as in class debugging competitions. CSE403 is what you make of it: treat this as a capstone course and you will come out of it with amazing material ready for your resume. This class was by far the most useful to getting a job post graduation.

This professor is absolutely not doing his stuff. All his assignments were taken from free online resources and left students confused because he was not able to answer the questions. He also intended to not record the lecture that about the assignment without prior notice and he said he was going to record every lecture. Didn't learn stuff at all.
