Reviews of professor Valmor de Almeida

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Too smart to be teaching. He is a horrible professor. Can't communicate with someone who doesn't have a pHD.

Class is next to impossible and the average was well below passing before the final. you're expected to know content from classes that are not in the degree pathway.

He expects you to self teach yourself linear algebra in the first three weeks of the course while he poorly explains code basics and coding these concepts in in class. His notes are illegible and even better when he writes assignments the instructions are often unclear or in difficult to understand english. Midterm average and median was below 30.

He's a very smart and nice man but seriously needs to work on how to communicate with undergrads. When it comes to coding, he overloads you with information about one specific subject, then assigns work that you have absolutely no idea how to do.

The first 3 lab works were straight forward, however after that he would take too long to grade them and wouldn't give enough feedback. Everyone in my lab ended up dropping this class. He's too smart to be teaching undergrads and can accidentally insult students by sounding snobby. Would recommend a different professor for this class.
