Great guy. Goes pretty quickly through some of the material, but he is always happy to stop and explain if you have any questions. Quizzes are at the start of almost every class, but they are easy 100's- they exist only to ensure you know the concept and he'll help you on them. Always lets us out early. Take him

Love this guy. Literally had only 3 homework assignments the whole semester. Also during quizzes, he comes around and helps you if you are stuck. This man is a legend. Long Live Prof M

Best professor I've had so far. He is extremely nice and helpful. Short quizzes almost everyday and a journal due every other week or so. The quizzes and journals combined with the lectures make all the material really clear so the class is easy. If you come to every class he adds 5 points to your final grade. Such a sweet man. Highly recommend

I would recommend Professor Minacapelli to anyone because he is so passionate and dedicated to his profession. He is always willing to help if you show that you are truly interested. He is very clear and concise when explaining the material. He is by far the best teacher I have ever had for any math class because he truly believes in you. Take Him!

LOVED him! I can see why he has iffy reviews because there is a quiz administered at the beginning of each class because he always makes sure all of his students master the content. He is the sweetest old man and honestly one of the greatest professors I've ever had here. Gives extra credit for perfect attendance... just show up and try your best!

He gives quizzes every day that reflect on his lectures which help your grade. He gives easy projects and short online homework which is completely different than is lectures. But overall, if you're good at math you dont need to do much studying.

Developmental Math with this guy was a joke! We sat at the computers for an hour and fifteen minutes and did homework. Tests are a joke! Just don't fall behind.

Professor Minacapelli is great professor. He is an older guy and he could seem grumpy but he is awesome. I took him for Developmental Math and he helped me finish the course in half of the year. He is kinda demanding sometimes but wants you to succeed so that you can move onto the next math course. TAKE HIM!

If you are not good at math do not take this guy. He speed through each lesson and it is a quiz in the beginning of every class. Awful experience in this class. He also makes fun of students when they ask questions and assumes that you know the material already. I suggest everyone stay away.

Hes a really nice guy but he can be very tough at times, he tires to help as much as he can but he's not scared to give anyone an F or credit, not tests but daily quizzes which are simple ! Just do your work and you will be fine.

This guy is just a really weird dude. Funny in this random kind of way. Easy to understand if you just pay attention. If you do all the journals which are just 1 page and know the formulas for each question isnt hard to get at least a B. He let me use my phone as a calculator making it easy to cheat on tests and quizzes as well. This guy is a boss

Such a great guy, kind of reminds me of my grandpa. He is a kind man who is genuinely concerned with how you do in the class. Will extend deadlines if you don't understand chapter. The only negative about the guy are his office hours. Great professor and guy, definitely recommend him.

Good Developmental Math Professor, all coursework & grading done online, but will award partial credit points for test & quizzes. Will help in class with coursework except the final, easy to email to ask a question, cares about students.

Avoid him if you can, I wish I would've. Daily quizzes, unclear teaching method, and he doesn't really care whether you pass or not he just does what he does. Only professor and class I hated this semester and I actually LOVE math!

Such a great guy! If you need any help, he is always there! Definitely take him for developmental math, easy pass! Just keep up with the assignments, if you miss one he is very understanding but do not take his kindness for granted! Would take him again for another course.

One of the best math teachers I have had. You have to get used to his style of teaching but he makes sure that everyone can pass if you actually put in the work
