Student reviews

He provides detailed slides and also additional/supporting materials are uploaded. He is quite funny in class, also accessible outside classes. He gives feedback on homeworks. Exams are not hard if you study and reflective as weekly homeworks.CIVE2334 2025-04-02 23:45:02 +0000 UTC

his lectures are very long but he records them if you miss anything. he does not require a textbook but i got one of the recommended ones and i recommend getting it if you take this class. homework assigned every week or so, the assignments weren't bad. opportunities for extra credit given. exams are okay, do some practice problems for themCIVE2334 2024-12-12 01:11:45 +0000 UTC

Very respectable Professor. Good lecturer, homework was very reflective of lectures and notes, and exams were quite easy. Overall excellent.CIVE2334 2021-12-22 04:57:00 +0000 UTC

Casanova's lectures are a little bit boring but if you pay attention he can be really funny at times. He is always very flexible with the students and wants you to understand the material. He always answers questions clearly and clarifies if you need him to. His tests are pretty easy if you can do the homework without cheating you will be fine.CIVE2334 2021-12-09 17:06:26 +0000 UTC
