Reviews of professor Eugenio Ursino

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I enjoyed taking Dr. Ursino's Mechanics class. His style of teaching is not typical but I enjoyed the readings and he pushed you to think through problems and consider everything before telling you the answer which I appreciated. I felt like I got a lot out of this class and the professor.

professor Ursino is great. Some people do not like physics and Ursino is not going to make it easy. but if you want to learn TAKE HIM!! he helps you a lot. for every test he lets you re-do it on your house and then he makes an average of the two grades. he will make you think and he is an excellent guy.

RUN, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES. No order to anything, it's all over the place. He grades so hard, and wants students to fail. 1000% believe he enjoys giving students bad grades, I worked for over 6 hours on my final and did terrible, he's the pickiest grader say one thing wrong and receive an F.

If you have limited physics knowledge maybe look into a different professor. Expects a lot of self reading/learning. Test grading is tough. Miss 1 question and take a big hit. Homework is all based on 1 question but assigns 11. Willing to help outside of class if needed. Overall very friendly and cares for students but physics is a tough course.

He is very hard to understand due to his heavy Italian accent, but that should not be a problem if he was a good teacher overall but sadly he is not. He grades your homework and tests like he wants you to fail. I would HIGHLY recommend looking for another professor to take, he made the class much harder than it actually had to be.

About an average teacher, I don't have any complaints. Uses a free online textbook, which is awesome. Pretty friendly and helpful guy. Lots of points for attending and participating in class. Does a lot of demos and practice problems in class. Physics is difficult for most students, but Ursino doesn't make it harder than it needs to be.

DON'T DO IT!!!! Take it at ivy tech and transfer the credits. At the very least get Millspaw if possible. Run from Ursino! He is bad at teaching and his accent only makes it worse. He is ok IF you can find him out of class. If you're reading this after drop week, then go to tutoring and the physics major room for help ASAP. Again, DON'T DO IT!!!

im not sure if he was just a bad prof, or that the way the head of the physics department wanted it to be taught. because taking an exam that you only have about 50 min for, where you get counted wrong if you don't explain and they wonder why the entire class fails. if anything he was being held back in teaching the class.
