Reviews of professor Alex Casella

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I feel lucky to have had Alex Casella lecture my Calculus 2 course. If there's anything that you're struggling on or a specific concept from the course that interests you he will really work with you in office hours to understand it. You'll learn to think in his class and not just do math mechanically. It's Calculus 2, it should be challenging.

Dr. Casella is by far the best professor I have ever had. I had him for Calc II, which was by far the hardest class I have ever taken. Even though I struggled, Dr. Casella was willing to help so long I was also putting in the effort. An excellent teacher.

Best math teacher I've had! His lectures were in-depth but very well organized and easy to read. Explains everything and is always ready to answer questions. Take advantage of office hours bc it helps a lot. Hw is through webassign. Weekly participation quizzes, three exams, and one final. He provides study guides to work through too.

He is a fantastic teacher, great lectures and he makes sure that you understand that material. There are a lot of assignments but some are there to improve your grade. I am a firm believer in the principle that the teacher makes or breaks your class experience because if he doesn't like teaching you won't have fun learning but he makes it enjoyable

Alex is a solid choice for any math class. He really knows his stuff and wants all his students to succeed. This is a difficult class, so no matter what professor you have, you're going to struggle. However, Alex made the class so much more enjoyable and meaningful. If you work hard, it is definitely possible to get an A.

Dr. Casella is probably the greatest math professor at FSU. His lectures are easy to follow and assigns tons of extra credit work for each exam which can add up to about 25% extra credit for one exam alone. He makes calc 2 really easy and actually answers question very well. Oh and all the exams combines are worth 20% as well as a 25% final.
