Reviews of professor Robert DiStasio

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor DiStasio is a great! He's accessible outside of class & cares for the students. Curves the exams(actually tries to benefit as many people as possible). The exams are fair and similar to PS problems. The lab for this course sucks it's not in sync with the lecture and you have to make up your own procedure. Only responsible for lec though.

I liked his lectures. He definitely gives you everything you need to succeed in his class, given you put in the effort. One thing I didn't like was how difficult the prelims were, but that meant the curves were really helpful. Just do EVERY textbook problem and you'll be fine.

Robert is great. As others have said he really cares about making sure you learn the material. Lectures not required but I highly recommend- he's always telling some funny story or analogy. Exams are very fair just do the practice tests. 2080 labs SUCK but not Robert's juristiction so can't blame him

Professor DiStassio was a great teacher and I would highly recommend taking a class from him. Very kind and caring toward his students and you could tell he genuinely cares about student success. 2080 is a hard class but DiStassio was always available to work through difficult concepts in-office hours. The grading breakdown was also quite fair.

Dr. DiStasio cares deeply about his students. This was a difficult semester for me and he was more than understanding. I recommend going to office hours. It's an 800-student class, but only seven or eight people go to his office hours. He went over my exams with me and helped me understand course material in a one-on-one environment.
