Reviews of professor Michael Bellissimo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I loved Bellissimo as a professor. I took both precalc and trig, and I would not have wanted to do it with any other professor. He is extremely caring to his students! He is, if not, the most thorough professor I have ever had. He wants you to ask questions and to be engaged into the material. I will be taking calc with him.

J do the hw ahead of time. The reviews he assigns before each exam are an exact replica of the exam questions. I alr took pre calc in hs so I didn't bother studying much but he has a lot of good lectures and resources as well. One time my honorlock wasn't working and he was ez to talk to abt it even tho the due date was in a few hrs.

Super nice guy. Thinks math is fun.  HW was on XYZ which sucked but was subject to change, moderately heavy. Very good at explaining all the steps, takes time to answer every question until the student fully comprehends. Don't get caught cheating on exam. Teaches all the way to the last minute of class most of the time tho.

Very open to students and hw does matter to cushion test grades. As a horrible tester, the hw is what kept me at a passing grade. Will use examples of 1x+2x^2-32=X in hw and will use the same format but with fractions in tests which throws me for a loop cause I'm bad at math, not a challenging class if you take the time to complete hw assignments.

There is weekly homework and discussion posts, but they count for very little. The tests are time-restricted and honorlocked, which adds pressure. I recommend studying the reviews thoroughly. While the class is difficult, the professor tries to make it easier with videos and examples along with the textbook. He does his best to assist students.

He is an amazing professor who is very passionate about math. There is little to no homework (about 2 assignments per week), and he post all of the solutions before the assignments are due. He can throw a couple of trick questions on the test, but he also gives great partial credit. I wish he taught calculus 2 and 3 so I could take it with him.

Lots of HW. Exams are similar to HW questions, no surprises. He uploads videos and covers all the questions on HW and exams. Easy to follow. There were some discussion posts. Overall, it was an easy A for me.

Can tell that he cares about his students and their success. He is a great professor and gives time for homework and test questions at the beginning of class and after class. Keep up with the homework and study and you will do fine. He doesn't give any extra credit and the lectures are very long.

Professor Bellissimo is generally friendly and puts effort into providing examples for every topic he covers. Unfortunately, he is unaccommodating for students with disabilities.
