Reviews of professor Stephen Nicastro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Nicastro is awesome. Always answers questions during lecture, willing to go over anything you didnt understand during office hours, and exams are pretty straightforward. Provides reviews with solutions for all exams. Overall, really wants to see his students succeed. First math class I really ever enjoyed

Professor Nicastro is the best. His lectures are clear and he always wants you to ask questions if you don't understand. You need to buy the textbook/WebAssign to do any homework which is a bit expensive. His tests are not tricky at all and makes sure you know the main ideas of the material. Definitely take him

Just adding to the chorus here. He is incredible. Makes everything relatively easy to understand and has such a genuine passion for math that he wants everyone to like it as much as he does. If you can master his study guides you will ace the tests. Put homework on the board for participation credit.

Professor Nicastro is the best there is. He is super kind when it comes to grading, and gives review sessions before the tests and doesn't try to trick you. He teaches the material clearly and slowly, and always takes questions, plus he's funny. You have to work for the A, and it won't come without homework and practice, but he's amazing.

In all honesty my greatest decision in life was taking this professor for math 152. He starts each class by explaining the homework, yes you heard right, he EXPLAINS the topics. Then he goes into the new topic for the day and is so organized while doing it. Do yourself a favor and take this professor, trust me you will not be disappointed.

as someone who's strong suit has never been math, let me just say you gotta be so slow to get a bad grade in his class. his tests are basically the review sheets he posts with different numbers. one test question was literally a hw question he went over so if u go to class and do the bare minimum YOU WILL GET AN A. easiest class I took so far.

Hands down one of the best math professors in the department. I'd professors that would give like 17 questions per test  Professor Nicastro isn't like that. No aggressive curveballs, doesn't take off a lot of points for small mistakes. 10/10 would recommend.

I went from barely passing math in hs to getting an A+ in this course and currently taking him for 141. A lot of homework though, like an insane amount. He grades on hw, three exams, a cumulative final, and participation. He will not let you fail and makes sure you understand the material. Gives so much partial credit on exams

Very caring professor. Will come in early or stay late to help you. Will answer email with detailed responses. Lectures are solid, nothing spectacular, but clear and understandable. Exams are fair. Down to Earth guy who understands the burdens of being a commuter student/working.
