Reviews of professor Richard Gasparre

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I have never worked so hard and learned so little in a class before. Professor Gasparre failed miserably as an educator and his class will ruin your semester. He gives an extremely unreasonable amount of work and he is an extremely tough grader. To make it even worse his tests are impossible. If you decide to take him, then good luck.

Tests are all open book/open laptop and the answers are mostly online. If you get below a 90 on any test you gotta be ode dumb lmao. projects were a mess but do great on those easy tests u be ai. Attendance is eh, sometimes he did a sign in sheet at the front or a TopHat login code so just have a few people in the class to let u know.

The class is easy but he makes it difficult, there's a quiz every week on blackboard and it usually on the textbook. I never used the textbook once but would usually get a B+. He doesn't respond to emails and only talks to you during office hours, he will also get mad if you talk to him before/after class, in the sense of class hours.

Not a good professor. Super unorganized. He doesn't know CIS very well, even though if taught well it can be an interesting class. All he does in the classes is review the textbook, so you can ask someone to sign you in and you don't have to show. Boring lectures anyway. He is homework heavy.

Literally goes the entire class talking about how to contact Tech support and solve platform issues on blackboard and Pearson. Gave two group projects with no clear instructions, doesn't teach anything related to the course, and told us not to study previous material for midterms and finals. preparing for this class is impossible. DON'T TAKE HIM!

Hard if you overthink but easy. Focus on textbook. exams based on textbook qs. barely understood anything in class but understood the exam qs from hw. Group project was a mess his instruction was flawed, overthought + overcomplicated, try to finish to the best of your ability. late grader, curves grade. you need a laptop for this class (for exams)

This class is not bad at all especially because the professor told us, he changed his teaching curriculum. The exams, quizzes, & homework are online. Homework are weekly basis but they're not hard if you have the textbook with you. The group project is complicated bc he doesn't specified the tasks enough and he is very strict with attendance.

Do not take this professor. He is so disorganized and does not know how to teach. The course was labeled as online-synchronous, but it basically became asynchronous halfway. There were 2 projects, VBA exam, a Midterm and Final. Projects did not have clear instructions, VBA material isn't taught, Most midterm and final questions are on quizlet.
