Reviews of professor Vincent Tocco

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I see some negative comments about him but if you can't keep up with his lectures, the chemical engineering degree may not be suitable for your major. He may provide convoluted answers but I think that's intentional and you need to put some effort in to critically solve the problems.

I took MEB with VJ. He was a great teacher, very clear at explaining topics. Homework and final project required some time and effort. Yeah, VJ is great. One of my best ChemE professors and really interesting to learn from. He certainly cares about his students.

VJ is a very solid professor to take MEB with. He has genuine passion for the subject and has taught the course for a while now, so the class is organized and structure is clear. He does a flipped lecture which is hit or miss. Some days it's helpful both other times the entire time is spent trying to decipher one problem. Overall solid choice.

He goes by VJ! very friendly personality, He has high expectations from students but he will make sure that you have all the tools to succeed those expectations. He also takes feedback from students and wants to improve his teaching. His HWs are hard, do them in groups and you will be fine! Lot's of Extra credit opportunities. Exams are fair!

Dr. Tocco is a real gem! You would be lucky enough if you can take him! Always encourages to ask questions, provides good feedback, explains the concepts very clearly. Spend time on HW and practice problems to do well. He replies to emails on weekend too. Don't hesitate to ask for help! He enjoys helping students. Definitely NOT a narcissist!

VJ is a phenomenal professor. He's a very engaging lecturer and answers questions thoroughly. He's quick to respond to any emails and is a great mentor to fledgling ChemE students. The homework and the exams are difficult, but that's the point of the class. ChemE is a hard degree, and VJ wants to prepare students adequately for that difficulty.

Good things first: He is clear in lecturing, a little fast, but explains things well. All the bad now: The hw assigned is levels beyond what is lectured. Lectures on the basics, assigns advanced homework. Always asks for feedback, but rejects all the criticism. If you ask for help, expect convoluted answers. He's not here to help. Narcissistic.

I dont get this guy. Lecture? so FAST he is like on 2x speed and if you tell him to slow down, he kinda gets defensive. Homework? So hard and lecture cant help. Exams are way harder. Wont take you ever again even if I had to wait another semester.

Has a ton of lectures and the homework can be difficult. Some of the lectures do not seem to be very helpful for homework problems and might feel like they don't explain too much. The first exam was the hardest. There are extra credit and group work to boost the grade. The textbook was useless and unnecessary.
