I'm not usually one to leave reviews for professors, but I regret taking this class so much that I want to help future students avoid my mistake. Avoid this professor at all costs, she put no effort into teaching this course and it was a complete waste of time. You can learn far more about incompressible flow from YouTube videos. |

This was quite honestly the worst course I have ever taken in my academic career. Pino put no effort into teaching the course - lectures were pre-recorded from years ago and the number of synchronous sessions (still on Zoom) were in the single digits. Most assignments weren't returned, but the few that were had points assigned seemingly at random with little feedback. The level of content covered in this course far below the graduate level. It is a shame that the department allows Pino to teach her courses in this manner. |

She put extremely little effort into our course. The whole thing was asynch with recorded lectures that never went past derivations. If you want an incompressible fluids course, just go on MIT OCW instead of suffering through this course |

Pino is very kind and easy to approach. However, she is not a very good lecturer and I often left her lectures thinking I knew everything and finding out later that she had skipped or glossed over a lot of content that turned out to be relevant. She seems scattered and her exam proctoring is *very* poor. Since she does not upload lecture notes/recordings; my advice if you are in her lecture is to attend Cadou's instead (in person or via zoom) and rely heavily on the textbook as your source of truth since Pino's notes can be erratic. As you can imagine for a class like ENAE311 this is very frustrating. tl;dr: Try to get a different section, if you can't use the textbook and Cadou's zoom lectures to supplement. |

Pino is a very odd teacher. She gets nervous easily and makes mistakes (fundamental mistakes, like the writing down an equation that implies the total opposite of physical laws). As such, it can be difficult to trust your notes. She doesn't show up to tests, frequently misses class, and 8AM office hours. Her Exam problems are worded in the most confusing way. Our TA had to call her multiple times to figure out what her questions were asking. All in all it doesn't seem like she enjoys teaching and the amount of effort she puts into her class reflects that. Maybe she is more interested in higher level courses but her inability to teach easy material of ENAE311 is upsetting. Just read the book, its better explained than anything she lectures. |
