Comment:

Dr. Fatuzzo was my favorite professor that I've ever had. His course was challenging, but as long as you study and listen in class you will do absolutely fine. He is the most caring and laid back professor I have ever met. I would definitely suggest meeting with him if you have any questions. Thanks for everything Dr. Fatuzzo!

He met with me twice a week and stayed more than the scheduled times almost every time. He is one of the best professors on campus and makes sure to help you out. He also gave me advice even when I didn't ask (scheduling, exams, homework, study tips...

Great professor. I took his lab online during the summer and the assignments/labs were manageable. Would take again if I had the chance.

As a non-physics major, I wasn't his first concern. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field and highly competent. Overall, fun but hard class. Attendance not mandatory, but you really should show up and do the homework. Take it from me.

By far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He's insanely smart and funny! He is willing to do whatever it takes to make you succeed. If given the oppurtunity to take him again I would. He does give homework for ever chapt but its nothing unmanageable.Take him if you get the chance, it is totally worth it!

Marco is such a great guy! He cracks jokes all the time in class and makes it enjoyable. He explains things really well and his tests are really not that hard. If they are too hard, he will curve the grades. Homework is also really easy points.

Comment:

Dr. Fatuzzo is a great guy and a fair grader. He is funny in class and keeps the material as interesting as it is going to be. Grades are based on 10% homework, and then the other 90% is based on 4 tests. The first test is easy, but they get progressively harder, but still not too bad. Attendance is not mandatory. Take if you have to take PHYS 160.

Great guy. Likes to make jokes and tries to use demos as much as possible to prevent boredom. Tests are tough but do the homework and you will do ok. He scales them down based on class average. I highly recommend him.

Tests are impossible compared to practice problems for homework. Straight up lectures at you every day and makes it excruciating. Does not explain things well. TAUGHT AS A MATH CLASS! NO CONCEPTS!

Wonderful teacher. Extremely intelligent, explains things very well. Extremely patient and helpful with non-physics minded people. Very funny! But grades tests and lab write ups pretty harshly.

Comment:

The class was somewhat interesting and Fatuzzo is a funny guy, but he seems like he favors some students more than others and comes off as an ****. I expected an easy A in this class and came out with a B that I had to work for.
