Hands down the best professor I've had at Queens College. If you need to fulfill your Calc requirements this is the professor to take them with. Very organized, Extremely Helpful, Makes the material easy to understand. Show up, Do the homework, you should have no problem passing this class.

He is one of the best math professors I've met so far. He gives excellent lectures and spends time going over homework questions before class. He didn't require the textbook or WebAssign. His review sheets are a great reflection of his exams, which are not hard if you did all the homework.

One of the best professors ever, he gives feedback to your exams and would not deduct point for careless mistakes. Homeworks are not mandatory but really helps with the exams, he also gives review sheets and reviews questions as well. the test is almost the same as review questions.

Prof. Nicastro is a very understanding person, he gives very good lectures and goes over h.w at the start of class. You are graded on 2 tests and a final, and 10% is participation (upload 6 hws). The material itself is very hard, so a lot of time need to be put into the course, even though h.w is not mandatory it prepares you well for the tests.

Take professor Nicastro!!!! I am bad at math and this is the only math class that I have ever enjoyed and done well in. Professor Nicastro is straightforward and his exams look like the homework. As long as you pay attention in class and keep up with the WebAssign homeworks you will do great. Very kind and caring teacher!

Prof. Nicastro is such a nice guy, I wish his personality translated to his ability to teach. While he does teach the material, he doesn't explain it well enough.  He takes off a TON of points for silly mistakes on tests. I took him for 122 and he was much better at teaching that than he is at 141 imo. Better options are readily available for 141.
