Comment:

Professor Ciminello is one of the nicest professors I have had at Marist. He tries to make the 8am class as painless as possible since he knows that majority of the people taking it are not science majors. There are 5 homework assignments, midterm and final exam. Overall, easy A and attendance isn't mandatory.

Comment:

Class was pretty easy. Attendance is not mandatory but nearly all of his test questions come from class lectures and readings he emails you. There are about 5-8 homeworks which are relatively easy. Lenient grader on the homework. Basically a pretty easy class. You learn a lot and his dry humor keeps you entertained. The downfall is its an 8am.

Comment:

I learned a lot in this class and he made it very interesting for an 8AM. Do not buy the textbook because he doesn't base any of his lessons on it. There are 2 tests, a final, and an easy paper. The hard part about the class is that you have to remember a lot of data, but other than that the tests aren't to difficult.

Comment:

Do not buy the text. You deff don't need it. He lectures the entire time so you can nap or not go. Really boring, his chest hair is always hanging out and try to get a seat in the back because he always has spit clumped in the sides of his mouth. I took it at 8am and it was torture. Fairly easy to do semi-well.

Do not buy the text, tests are based on lecture notes. Very clear and funny. Tests can be difficult b/c he likes you to memorize number facts.

Comment:

In reference to the posting about the class being unclear and confusing, that is untrue. For the most part it is common sense, the tests are easy, I never went to class or read the book and I still aced it. Amazing class, I'd definitely reccomend it
