Reviews of professor Rick Cangelosi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. C is a very lively and kind professor. If you have taken Calc before, you'll be real happy because all homework problems are optional so no busywork. He gives lots of short quizzes but lets you drop a few of your lowest scores. The course is split into 5 exams plus a final that replaces your lowest test score if you score better. Very fair.

Dr. Cangelosi is a great teacher. If you're not a fan of homework and have a basic understanding of calculus then take his class! That being said, do the optional practice problems! Tests were pretty hard and lots of quizzes throughout the semester, so go to his office hours if you can. Extremely nice guy and very approachable.

Dr. C is a very nice person, but man, it's tough to learn in that class. For someone who has average calc skills, get ready to be expected to know more than you think. He loves incorporating ln's, e's, and trig into problems. Get ready for your class numbers to drop over time. The class averages for every test have been D's, but good office hours.

Dr. Cangelosi is awesome!! His lectures are fairly easy to follow, and he assigns lots of group work problems during the class. Homework is tough, and his exams are brutal. However, he curves the class which is nice. Not very time effective when returning assignments, so it's a little difficult to figure out how you are doing.
