Reviews of professor Louis Ricciardi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a tough grader. Assignments can be hard to understand and rubrics/instructions do not make a lot of sense. I had to go to the ASL lab often to ask questions to pass the class. Does not answer questions fully.

Had him for ASL 1 in person and ASL 3 online. A relatively easy grader in ASL 1, but tough grader in ASL 3. I think he isn't the bubbliest person like so of the other professors, but I think it resulted in me actually learning more in his classes. I think some people just want a super soft-handed professor, which Louis is not.

It was very hard to sometimes understand him. I never felt like I could ask questions. He doesnt round up on grades which kills GPA. I liked working with the students in his class. I didnt really prefer for his teaching style.

I had him during the Covid-19 pandemic, so the course was online. While it made it a little harder to stay focused if you follow his examples you will pass. I wish there was more fun activities implemented. He never asked about the student workbook or graded it, I wouldn't buy it unless you need that extra practice

Overall Louis is a great person, but sometimes it felt intimidating to go ask him questions or for help. He grades assignments hard and doesnt round up on grades, which could make a whole letter grade difference. I did enjoy working in groups with students and practice signing together.
