Fernando is a good teacher. Although he likes to have fast paced lectures, he makes sure his students understand everything and asks if we have any questions. He is hilarious and tries to make jokes to make the class entertaining. In terms of grading, here at Carnegie Mellon, he gives hard quizzes but his midterms are fair. Overall, good teacher.MATH2112O 2019-12-06 21:57:35 +0000 UTC
Extremely poor teacher, fails to teach to the quiz or test. Extremely low class average. Doesn't help at all, expects you to know many things that aren't taught.CALC1341 2019-11-22 14:36:11 +0000 UTC
Prof. Fernando is amazing. He always stops the class to make sure everyone understands the material and is very passionate about math. He also has a great sense of humor which makes early morning calculus bearable. I would definitely recommend you take a class with him, he is brilliant.MATH2321 2019-04-21 23:47:13 +0000 UTC
Nice guy, but extremely poor lecturer and not aware of the classroom dynamic. Harsh grader, takes points off for the smallest missteps. He realizes most people take the class as it is seen as the "Easiest" for a math minor, so in spite of this he makes the course hard and grades tough. He tries to explain material way too fast.MATH3527 2018-02-18 13:27:58 +0000 UTC
Very GoodCALC3 2017-12-23 06:25:41 +0000 UTC
Pretty good. Was better with Calc 3.MATH2341 2016-04-28 09:58:21 +0000 UTC
Awsome teacherMATH2310 2016-01-28 15:50:25 +0000 UTC
Great overall. Easy to understand, and genuinely cares whether you understand the material or not. Tries to make jokes in class that are awkwardly funny but at least he tries! One of the best professors I've had here at Northeastern.MATH1252 2015-12-13 21:17:25 +0000 UTC
The class was rough at first for me, but he was there in his office to help me out which meant a lot. He cares about his students and wants to get to know them so that he can help them out, even if it is in the middle of class. Highly recommend, take if you have the opportunity for ANY class!MATH3081 2014-12-29 20:05:46 +0000 UTC
A blessing to my semester!! I would recommend him to anyone at all2321 2014-11-16 20:02:07 +0000 UTC
Great Professor, great class (Calc 1)!! I wish I could have him for Calc 2. If you can, take his class, you will not regret it.MATH1341 2014-05-04 18:19:09 +0000 UTC
BEST PROFESOR EVER! Absolutely the most helpful teacher at northeastern. I was willing to take his class(calc 3) at 8 am next semester after attending his lectures last semester. He drops the bottom 2 or 3 quizzes and sometimes agrees to replace your test 2 grade with your final exam grade if you messed it up.CALC1341 2014-04-24 01:07:26 +0000 UTC
Too fast in teaching important concepts. Take with someone else. Difficult tests as well.MATH2321 2019-04-05 00:19:44 +0000 UTC
He is definitely the best math prof. i've had at northeastern. He made calc 3 seem incredibly easy. He drops the lowest 2-3 quizzes and gives lots of practice problems and reviews for tests, he wants you to learn and do well in the class. He is very reasonable and generous when grading. I attended other calc 3 classes and he was definitely the bestCALC3 2014-02-22 22:35:29 +0000 UTC
This professor is one of the best Math professors I've had. He's clear in both his class expectations and explanation of material. He's always willing to help and extends his office hours when he knows students need help. He also cracks up math jokes every now and then so the class isn't as dull as it is. Do the HW and you'll get an AMATH2341 2016-01-07 13:12:20 +0000 UTC
