Reviews of professor David Sabella

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Awesome dude!! Very passionate about what he's teaching, and genuinely wants all of his students to do excellent. The course material is gone over pretty quickly, but he teaches it pretty thoroughly, and we were much better prepared than other Calculus 2 classes taught by other professors. It was honestly a pleasure taking this class.

Great professor; office hours are very helpful and cares about students. Gives extra/partial credit, but his class can run a bit fast and his tests can be a bit long so I'd recommend not cram studying

Prof Sabella is a really cool guy in and of himself. I enjoy him as a person. That being said, his class is pretty hard. He talks quickly & expects you to have retained what you learned in precalc. If you didn't you're in for a tough time. All in all he's super helpful & caring & if you're like me and took precalc 10 yrs ago, he'll really help you.

10/10 professor in my opinion. The class is tough, no doubt about it, but he teaches very well, is accessible outside of class, and assigns a manageable amount of homework. Just pay attention in class and you should be fine.

Keep in mind, when I took the class, he did not reference the textbook at all. Don't order a physical textbook like I did D:

Blasts through the material waaay too quickly, you'll struggle to retain what's covered in class. There's no graded homework assignments so really no feedback on how you're doing until you get to the tests, at which point you have to really cram. Also your ENTIRE grade is two tests, a midterm, and a final, so God help you if you have an off day!

I had Sabella during the fall 2018 semester for precalc and will be taking calc II with him in the fall of 2019. If you like math, you'll like him, especially if you've struggled with math in the past. He is slightly on the tough side, but he'll work with you to get any kinks out. If you're the type of person to say you hate math, he won't pity you

Sabella is a really good prof bc he teaches well and is always available to help you if you're struggling. He's also a nice guy and enthusiastic about math which is always better than having a prof who is dry and really doesnt care how you do. He grades by few things but my grade is fine bc his tests aren't tricky/mean/complicated but pretty simple

Professor Sabella is a very good professor. He is accessible outside of class to help and is very willing to help students. The tests were not bad and he gave partial credit, but be sure to study the review packet, problems from class, and homework to do well.

Sabella is the kindest teacher Ive ever had. He tried his best to give you partial credit, even if you got the question wrong. I can not stress enough if you take him to make use of his office hours, as well as study (HARD). He is the best math professor at ccm, and you wont regret taking him.
