Comment:

If there is a negative rating on this site this professor would be awarded that instantly. Firstly, rarely if ever answers emails, and if he does he will just give one word replies. Secondly, extremely lazy, makes no sense with evaluations and ambivalent with evaluation dates. Lastly, does not give much help with assignments; would just insult you.

Good professor, fair marker on assignments, explained concepts clearly in class. Test material was directly from the slides so pay very close attention when reviewing for his tests/exams. Could reply to emails a bit faster. Overall he was a decent prof and I would take his classes again if I have that option.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Prof. Glaucio for the term. Without his support, I would not be able to make it given the nature of my accommodation. Aside from his knowledge in computer science and the ability to convey it, he is very approachable and flexible if you attend his lectures.

WORST TEACHER EVER! Due Dates are all in the middle of your busiest weeks! Does this every time and doesn't care! The LAZIEST AND HYPOCRITICAL teacher you'll ever have! If you don't want to be pulling hairs, don't take the class! Worst off he never gives you information about the exams or anything! Never answer emails either!

I did enjoy Dr. Carvalho's class. He explains the concepts very well and he is very organized. Discrete math was a nice course despite the fact that I do not like math at all. Dr. Carvalho used multiple ways to connect with us and it made all the difference in my grades.

Litterally knows the text book off by heart,he can assist you whenever you have questions. His tests are fair and if you payed attention and at least read the book you would do well in his course. It is very hard to teach 30 pages in 3 hours, but he did it well

Terrible professor. Him being the strictest marker along with speaking with broken English makes his exams/quizzes/tests extremely hard to understand and answer correctly.

Dr. Carvalho is a great professor with lots of experience in teaching and applied research. I enjoy his course and would recommend. His is quite accessible and was able to manage even my accommodations in class. He provides an integrated view of OS, networks, and cloud computing that it's useful.

He is the worst professor I got till date. His exam was only 10 MCQ's and that too were badly worded and hence confusing. The paper was 30 marks and 30% of the final grade, so each question being 3%. He did not teach us at all. The lecture as well as exam was just a fun for him. He would never reply to your emails hence not accessible outside class

Both exams consisted each of 10 MCQs that were confuse and badly worded. Slides were incomplete and we couldn't read what was written in the bottom. According to him exams would be based on his slides but were based in his mind. During the whole course he just kept talking about the cloud (his area). Dont lose your time get another professor.

Comment:

Midterm and final tests(60%) consisted of about 15 multiple choice questions, focusing on very few of the actual concepts spent learning in class. No amount of studying will help you for his exams, as even if you select the right answer, he will tell you you're wrong and refuse to change it. Final paper (15%) had no rubric. 50/50 odds of passing.

Comment:

Vague guidelines for assignments. Assignments all require copying and pasting something and screenshots. Tests are 10 minute cruel jokes. Final was just 10 multiple choice questions, so you might as well flip a coin to see if you'll pass this course. He also doesn't reply to any emails whatsoever and is impossible to reach outside of class.

Glaucio is by far the best Professor that I had on Sheridan. First, he really knows what computer science is from theory to practice, from network to OS. Second, he is funny and caring guy. I saw my peers coming to him at the very last day and saying that he is the best! I fully agree. Bring him back please!

Nice person but not a great teacher. Long lectures go in circles and dont focus on what we should know. Only had three things for marks in the class and no idea what was expected on any of em - few to no details given beforehand. 100s of slides but exams were 15 minute tests based on maybe 3 topics. Was easy, was way stressful, shouldn't have been.

Glaucio is a really fair professor, actually more than fair. He will do things to help you out if your struggling in the class that other professors wouldn't. He realizes that we don't have time to read the textbook so his material is almost all lecture based and he's also a really cool person in general. Ask him about life in the jungle of Brasil

Glaucio has a lot of knowledge in the filed he is teaching. Explains all the concepts really well with different diagrams. Lecture slides are simplified enough that when reviewing for tests, you would not even require you to use the textbook.

He cares a lot about his students. He knows his stuff and loves to interact with the students. He does a lot of board diagrams to help with us visualize how operating systems work. A bit of a heavy Portuguese accent and sometimes difficult to understand but he's a really nice guy!
