Reviews of professor Amor Menezes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Ruined an otherwise interesting class by giving excessive and sometimes irrelevant long hw. Feels like he wants his students to fail. Two 50+ page projects that end up being skimmed over and hw takes forever to get graded. Once gave us hw solutions the day before an exam. Extremely condescending. Only upside was the curve at the end.

There will be horrible reviews about Prof Menezes from students who failed and those who did not. I barely passed. I am writing this because students on here will say that he is a horrible professor and other berating things. I do not think he is a bad professor. His class is, however, very very difficult. He is a fine professor, with a hard class

Deserves a way better rating. He's sweet and funny, and lectures are good. Go to class, take and review notes, start homework/the project before the last minute and the class is a breeze. Quizzes are tough but they're small. Exams are fair and open note. Can take a while to grade. He learns everyone's names. TA office hours are better than his.

Professor Menezes was incredible at teaching EAS2011s class content in a clear and understandable way and was helpful if anyone had questions. He also demonstrated true passion for what he taught. If you show up to the lectures and took good notes, you should be able to do well on HW and exams. The group project at the end was really interesting.

I'd say that Professor Menezes is a good instructor. His lectures are heavy, everything is fast paced, and the work is hard. But the entire class is two different aerospace subjects crammed into one semester. Test are not cumulative. He can be condescending at times, but at least he uses real white boards over an iPad in 2020 (props for that)

Extremely hard for no reason. Avoid at all cost. Made an introductory class seem like a 4000+ level class. Unreasonable expectations. Does not teach well enough to expect so much. His name is Amor but he shows no love. Take the class with any other professor. If he is the only professor offering the class, take it another semester.

Solid professor, quizzes are very tough and exams are designed to be tough and comprehensive. A very time-intensive course that needs your full attention to succeed. Homework will be long and the project is not easy. Your grade is mostly determined by tests.

Took him for intro to aerospace-eas2011. This is not an intro class. I took this class late, at the end of my third year, and it was still very hard. You are expected to know MATLAB which wasn't really an issue for myself but I know many younger students who have never taken a MATLAB course struggled. Midterm average was 57, tests are curved.
