Amazing professor who is great at explaining all topics. However you do have to put effort into programming assignments as they can be a little difficult but as long as you start early you should be fine. Tons of resources are provided for exams so if you study they are very easy.

Dr. Marco is the type of professor to extend his office hours late into the evening to ensure his students receive the help they need to finish assignments. He frequently answers piazza questions at 3AM. Plus he also gives good tips on making great Italian food, and will teach you the Italian language if you ask. Mamma mia take him already!

Besides MallocLab and like 2 questions on the final, Anne Frank could get an A in this class simply because of how much Marco helps. It's so straightforward, fun, easy, and manageable. I really enjoyed this class, but it is just made so much better by the fact that you'll have a constant friend and advocate in Marco. Love him. Sweetest guy ever.

Him and Mark Redekopp are the best duo that could have possibly taught this course. Paolieri is so helpful and sweet... if you can take this class (or any class) with him, do it!!!
