If I had a chance to add more tags they would be Amazing Lectures and Clear Grading Criteria but those tags would be under what Doctor Falabella would lack.

Comment:

If you want to go into the computer science major then prepare yourself. He will try to weed out any of one who has trouble learning. If you can adapt to the subject fast you'll survive his classes and graduate Albright with a Computer Science Major. If you can't then save your time and money and switch majors.

He's a tough cookie but he's a smart banana. Taking his classes are worth it in the long run even though you almost never get the grade you want. He's a tough grader but it helps you learn most of the time.

He's a good teacher. He plays around a lot. He's willing to work with you if you need help. He gives a lot of work so you have to be willing to put time into this class.

Comment:

Falabella is a nice guy, but he simply does not have teaching a priority on his list. And when he does teach, he is unclear and moves too fast. He'll give you extra credit assignments which helps but if he taught the right way to begin with, people wouldn't need them. Overall, don't take him if you don't have to. Can't teach

Comment:

Overall his classes are hard, but that is partly due to the challenging nature of the subject matter. Sometimes he assigns homework the evening before it is due, and there are a ton of homework assignments. But they help with understanding the subject matter as his assignments are generally hands-on stuff (at least for computer science courses)

Comment:

Had him for Calc 1&2. Great professor. Even though I was barely understanding calc 2 and failed the tests, he still gave me a C- b/c he knew I was trying. He will always take time to explain if you ask. Grades all hw so do it for easy points (even if you don't get it right, just show you tried). Fairly interesting teacher. I'd recommend him!

The best. This guy loves teaching and loves his students. His assignments are demanding but will work with you to help you succeed. Also, he looks like Count Olaf from Lemony Snicket.

Difficult class, but Dr. Falabella will provide all the tools you need. He was always available outside of class for questions and assistance.

He is very unclear in his discussions. I already knew the first chapters work from HS, but I still managed to do horribly on the test! He GRADES your homework. His class in long and boring. Hes a COMPUTER professor for a reason. Why is he teaching my calc???

Comment:

You're basically on your own. Tends to like some people more than others. If you prove him wrong on something he'll have it out for you for all four years. Quirky personality. Loud voice. Basically reads from the book.
