Reviews of professor Patrick DiRusso

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This Professor is good and caring but sometimes he goes way off proving the answers. Multiple times I got lost. He doesnt give much Modules but they are long with many complex problems. You must have your Algebra down path as he uses it heavily. If Math is not your subject I would suggest taking class with another professor.

 I actually had him Pre-Cal ALG and was taken during Covid. He was okay just kind of in the background.  HW ranges from Easy to difficult. I struggled a lot on the Tests however. If you struggle with math take another professor or take him in person. He gave us a lot time to complete the tests which was appreciated.

Professor DiRusso was quite a character. He had a good demeanor and engaged the class with his lectures. The modules in Canvas are your best friend, you will have videos and notes of the chapters he assigns on Pearson. You must show up to class for his review for the final exam. He does not post it online, and if you don't show up you will fail.

His teaching styles aren't the greatest and if you doze off, you will get lost. He gives you lots of opportunities to get work done and doesnt grade tough. The only way you would fail the class is if you dont get the work done which i barely did and crammed all at the end (not recommended), still passed the class but cant tell you i learned.

Amazing professor! He was very funny and kept the class alive. Whenever you had any questions he made sure to go over the material until it was crystal clear. Wonderful class!

DiRusso is more than fair. He gives plenty of opportunity to get the good grade. If you do not do well on the test, he offers extra assignments which get averaged in. He is fairly lax on deadlines and is quick on grades and answers to questions. His humor and laid back attitude relaxes the class for what is normally a stressful subject.

He is a very good professor for college algebra. He explains things in ways that make the topic easy to absorb. He is also good at answering questions, and doing examples in class. There is plenty of time for assignments to be done, and as long as you show up for class, they are very doable. Overall, professor Dirusso is a good professor to take.
