Reviews of professor Ben Russo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Russo opened every homework for the course at the start of the semester, and made them due at the end of the semester. Every homework allowed up to a hundred attempts at each question. He regularly mentioned the suggested due dates for assignments. This format really helps you understand the material. His lectures were pretty good as well.

Good teacher. He likes to do a lot of examples, however he does them and you copy so you don't really know what is happening. Does do practice tests that are really similar to the tests which is helpful. Assigns homework but never checks it so not necessary. Nice guy though

Prof Russo is a solid professor. He is young but handles the students like an old pro. Teaches the material well. Class is not easy but he does a good job teaching the material. He is a very fair grader and gives good feedback. 2 knocks: he blocks the board as he writes making note-taking difficult and has only one style of teaching material.

He tries to make the material as easy as possible, and the quizzes are very easy too. He gives a practice final and it was basically the same thing as the real final! All of the homeworks for the class are due on the last day of classes, but don't wait til the last minute! They are long! Overall, really easy professor!

I never really had a good relationship with this professor, and the tests I would say are tough. "Practice exams for the class / real thing", so watch out. You can get tripped up on some questions because they could be different, and maybe even harder than what you saw on practice exams. Ill? Better have another way to get notes. Won't take again.

He is a alright professor, online classes made this class tricky, he seems to forget students dont know the things he is teaching so leaves out some important parts of what he is teaching. he lectures, the quizzes and homework were online and the textbook was available free, unless your good at math i wouldnt recommend to take this professors class

I have taken him before for Calc II and both times he focuses a lot on lecture. He is pretty boring during the class, but overall you will do fine if you basically memorize how he did his practice test as they are the SAME EXACT THING, just different numbers. The homework doesn't count in your grade and he never collects it, so it is nice and easy.

He made the transition to online flawlessly this semester, which I appreciate. He posted videos with examples and clear step-by-step solutions, as well as hosted online lectures to go through them and answer questions. Tests are slim and highly weighted. "Participation quizzes" used for attendance but he goes over them before handing them in.
