Reviews of professor Daniel Pinto

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's a chill guy, but lectures were super boring (he mostly just read off of the powerpoint). I'm not sure what someone else meant when they said he didn't curve... He curved literally every exam and drops the lowest exam grade, which was a huge help. Practice exams were almost identical to the tests. Pretty easy professor and class.

very knowledgable and helpful-- his labs were fun and easy to follow. Quizzes are not hard if you understand the material.

Bio213 is not easy. The best way to prepare is read the chapters before class, actively participate, take notes, review material, and do practice problems. This class is not just memorization but also connecting concepts. Dr. Pinto makes lectures incredibly interesting so you can remember concepts well. He's one of the best prof at Mason. Take him!

There are very few teachers who genuinely care for their students. Professor Pinto is one of them. This lab could have been boring, but he was very inspirational and knowledgeable. Related all experiments with real life experiences. He gave 100% effort to the class. I learned a lot from his lab. I highly recommend him and wish him all the best!
