Reviews of professor Paulo Marchetti

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He uses his own published book which is a little odd. Tough in the sense that there is very little room for error with grading. He base you whole grade off 2 class assignments, and midterm & Final. So if you mess up and don't complete one it will be difficult to get a good grade. However, if you stay on top of it you should be fine.

For a 1 unit course, it is not worth it so AVOID! He does not prepare his students for midterms nor finals. We weren't given the heads up, of what exactly was going to be on the midterm or finals. All that was mentioned was to read his non-sense book to which is irrelevant for a 1 unit class especially for those who are not majoring in kinesiology

Amazing professor. Really gets into more of the concepts and not the math behind biomechanics so that it helps you understand what you are doing in your lab class. The tests and quizzes are straight from the books vocab and important points so you need to read. I would take his class again. He is very passionate about the material he is teaching.

 Dr. Marchetti is very knowledgeable in this area and he will teach you a lot of things, and his lectures are not awful and he's pretty funny too. But he comes across as rude, he doesn't have many assignments, his mid-term and final are free responses and worth a lot of points and he's a tough grader. Do not miss your group presentations.

He is a passionate teacher who cares about his students. He wants you to learn the materials and apply them, not memorize them. He is technical with his lectures and can be a lot to take in but its for your benefit. He is more than glad to help if you dont understand. If you want to learn Resistance training, this is the class.

I took the class in summer online. He is very straight forward on what he looks for and will tell you during lecture what to focus on for midterm and final. Lots of homework but it is easy and will help you understand the concepts. Very passionate teacher! Helps you understand the material. Always offers extra credit which is a nice bonus!

Take Dr. Marchetti if you can! He's AMAZING! He explains so well and goes over exactly what will be on the test in class. The tests can be hard but if you truly understand the material you will be fine. I learned so much and I would definitely take him again if I could.
