Reviews of professor Brian Pietrosimone

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He was a great professor. The exams were straightforward but you definitely have to study there is A LOT of material . His lectures were long but interesting. He is caring and offered an extra credit opportunity. Grades are only quizzes and exams.

I don't write many reviews here, but I found it absolutely necessary to ensure that Professor Pietrosimone received the 5-star rating from me that he 100% deserves. Quite possibly the best professor I've had in my three years at UNC thus far.

Course grade is composed of 2 quizzes, 2 2-page papers, and 3 exams. Class attendance/effort is not considered into final grade. The lectures were wonderful, and the professor was always willing to answer questions and engage with the class. Exams were fair and gave students the chance to showcase all they had learned.

Dr. P is easily the best professor I've had at UNC! His anecdotes make even the most difficult of concepts easy to understand! There were 2 quizzes , 2 pretty easy article reviews, and 3 exams (including the final). Everything was graded fairly and test questions were straightforward. This man deserves a teaching award, take his class if you can!

Dr. Pietrosimone made what would have been a typiclly boring class fun. He is funny, caring, and intelligent. I highly recommend taking him for any EXSS class especially 175. The class material is difficult but he does the best he can to be make it enjoyable. Grade consists of quizzes and exams along with extra credit opportunity. 10/10 recommend

Not sure how intentional/unintentional it was but this guy was hilarious. Everything on the tests is on the powerpoints. While you dont technically need to go to class at all to do well I enjoyed going to hear his spin on things

Brian is a very good lecturer, and he is also hilarious in class as well. His exams are somewhat tough, but very fair. There are a few article reviews and quizzes you have to do, but he also gives extra credit opportunities! Overall, a great professor who truly cares whether students learn the material and tries to relate to them.

Will start out by saying lectures can be boring/dry and anatomy is not easy. However, Brian really tries to crack jokes throughout the material and tries his best to make a very dry subject interesting. For slackers out there the good news is the exam question are 100% from the powerpoint, so just take the time to go over them and learn.

He made EXSS175 pretty interesting by applying real world scenarios to the material. He also cracked a lot of jokes which made the class more fun. Continuously study the 100+ muscles bc the final kicked my butt. Your grade comes from the tests & muscle quizzes. Study hard, go to class, focus on the powerpoints. Would take again with him.
