CLIT30C . 5 Months Ago

5 required books to read. Attendance taken at lecture, but you don't really need to attend to get a good grade. 1 paper along with 2 exams with multiple choice and long SAQs that were basically mini essays. Seemed like they were looking for really specific things in the SAQs, but didn't deduct a lot of points for the "mistakes."

He is a very enthusiastic and intellectual professor. The lectures are very low energy (although I accredit this more to an unenthusiastic student body), but the lectures are very interesting and pair nicely with the readings. The reading schedule is flexible, and the grading is light. He truly cares about his students and wants us to do well.

He is a very thoughtful and intelligent professor. His lectures are insightful and provide lots of information to go along with the readings. The readings aren't on a super strict timeline, so a lot of flexibility with reading speed. He cares about his students, and wants you to succeed.

I would highly recommend him! I was sick for on and off three weeks and he was very understanding in giving me extensions! Attendance is taken and the lectures can be kinda boring and sometimes seem pointless but I like hearing him talk about the readings. Grade consists of attendance, discussion, take home midterm, take home final essay, and exam.

Attendance required via iClicker but would not be valid if 1 minute late. Lectures felt wildly useless; prof was on a quarter-long tangent. Literally didn't take notes. TA essentially taught the course. Easy A in terms of tests/paper but absolutely insufferable otherwise. Don't take unless good for GEs; ONLY reason I didn't drop the course ASAP.

I believe Andre is a fair grader. His class is not necessarily hard but you do have to give a little effort if you want to get an A. He is very understanding and accessible and his lectures are interesting. His feedback comments on papers are also helpful and detailed. I have learned a lot.

His main goal in each class is for you to find a connection the readings and literature that are assigned to us. There is one short essay midterm, a presentation, and a final paper. The class is taught in Portuguese, but he will provide materials in English. It's a lot more interesting if you participate in the discussions. Small class sizes!
