Comment:

If you do not like to participate this class is not for you. Thinks he knows everything but he actually is a solid person if you go to office hours. He does think this is the only class you have and in the middle of the semester the work piles up.

Comment:

First day brings in a former student to talk then leaves the room. Student says if you can't devote all your time and effort to this class you'll fail and withdraw. Sousa comes back, says I provide a quality education if you are willing to work for it. Should've known to run out straight to advising to drop ASAP. Take ANY other prof, NOT WORTH IT

Comment:

He is tough, and at times, he can be a bit scary(esp when students are lazy). He knows but he still does it because his students' learning and success are his only priority. He wants you to work hard, to think, to do your homework and to ask questions. As long as you do your job, he would do everything he could to help. Good prof. Good heart.

Comment:

Worst professor I have had. Made me feel that I couldn't raise my hand, constantly gives negative feedback and cuts you off while speaking. He thinks hes great at giving lectures meanwhile they are the most simple things that he turns into something impossible. Assigns like 5 things a week. Quizzes and exams hard. Never would take again

Comment:

Sousa is by far one of my favorite professors here. He gets a bad rap but overall his student's success is his main priority and he just wants you to do well. His feedback can be harsh at times but take it to heart and learn from it, hes a very intelligent man and you will learn A LOT if you put the effort in the class and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!

Comment:

Sousa is tough, not gonna lie. He expects a lot from his students and can be very self righteous at times. However, he genuinely cares about his students and teaching. His lectures are very engaging and you will learn so much about excel. As tough as it can be you will come out with great skill set.

Comment:

This professor is horrible. He made students cry on the daily. He is so unbelievably rude to his students. He is the meanest teacher I have ever had. He does not deserve to work at Bryant. He is rude, inconsiderate, and is so unhelpful. He makes you look so stupid if you do not know something. He's HORRIBLE. I do not recommend him at all.

Comment:

Professor Sousa is tough, but he is one of the only professors at Bryant who actually cares about your education. I learned more in this class than any other Freshman or Sophomore class. Would recommend taking Sousa if you want to learn and if you take the time to get to know him you wont think he is all that bad.

Absolutely one of the best professors at Bryant, actually cares about his students and treats you like adults. It is a lot of work but you learn so much. I recommend Sousa to everyone who actually cares about their education.

Comment:

I have never I met a person that is more narcissistic. I went to get help from him once and he made me feel badly about trying to get help. Only if he likes you will you enjoy his class. He only wants to hear the right answer and if you are wrong he lets you know and is very degrading. He is very intelligent, but despite this he is rude. Avoid him.

Comment:

Sousa is a genius, and if you can get him to share his knowledge instead of beat it into your head I feel like he could be a great resource. Unfortunately, it's hard to have a thick skin while dealing with his criticism, he's pretty impatient and short tempered. Wouldn't round my grade up from a 79.8. He knows what you do on Thursday nights.

Comment:

Not a nice professor. He's an incredibly hard grader. He thinks he's right about everything. If you don't memorize the guidelines for the project then he'll call you out if you ask a question that is answered in there. He makes you scared to answer a question because he makes you feel stupid if you're wrong. High stress level in this class

Comment:

Sousa is a very tough professor. He's going to make you work for your grade and will not hand anything out to you. He can be demeaning if you don't know an answer but it's because he wants you to be prepared for his class. If you want to learn excel this is definitely the best professor to take.

This man does not deserve the title of Professor. He is extremely rude & demeaning. Instead of teaching his first few weeks of class he rudely put down other professors, calls fellow students Stupid to their face in front of the whole class, rants at you in study groups. Want a lesson in Bad Behavior take Sousa. Shocking Bryant keeps this guy.

Comment:

He is one of the best professors at Bryant. He promises you a quality education from the first day and he certainly delivers this and more. Dr Sousa comes of as strict and a little intimidating but he's a man who cares about his students and wants to see them do well. His lectures are crystal clear and I promise you will walk out smarter

Comment:

While most say Professor Sousa is harsh and mean, he does it because he cares. He has very high expectations for students but if you go see him in his office he is very helpful and interesting. This man will be the reason I get a job after graduation.
