Reviews of professor Joseph Diminutto

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I had Professor Diminutto for my online GEOG 102 class. He puts up a lecture a week with one corresponding quiz (10 questions each) and 4 exams (40 questions each) all are open note/book. Doesn't accept any late work but it's all pretty easy to keep up with. Overall it's a pretty easy class.

Taken during COVID-19. Diminutto is a good guy, and you realize he's very passionate about his work and career. However, his lectures can get rather boring. He is very knowledgeable of GIS, and he's approachable with answering questions! He records the lectures on Zoom, so you can rewatch them if you lose focus, because they can get boring/long.

This class is an easy A. Use the study guides for his tests and map quizzes!! Attendance was not really mandatory but if you showed up it was more helpful hearing the material rather than reading it. His grading criteria was clear. Hes helpful and responsive to emails. Took his 3 hour class at El camino, so it felt long and boring at times.

Professor Diminutto is a really nice guy. Geography isn't a very interesting subject, but I can tell he did his best to make his lectures as interesting as possible. He isn't a hard grader and there aren't any super difficult assignments. Attendance is mandatory, but you get 5-6 days before your attendance starts to affect your grade.

Knowledgable guy, solid sense of humor. Lectures are sometimes interesting, but often just okay. My only personal holdup is that he steals slides from another professor and focuses on unnecessary details for exams. Does give students credit for knowing their stuff and is respectful.

Prof. Diminutto is okay. His lectures are extremely wrong; it is unnecessary for him to lecture so much. Only good thing is that you do not need a textbook.

I took the course for GE and wasn't expecting much, but ended up finding it interesting and the professor definitely puts in effort compared to other online courses I've taken. He gives short feedback on every graded assignment which was nice.

The way he words his tests/assignments are pretty confusing. Grading criteria for the assignments isnt clear. Group project thru the semester where he sends you on a field trip to an enclave. Lectures off the slides but takes attendance so you have to be there & its really boring. Thought Id use this class to boost my gpa but dropped it instead
