Comment:
Gismondi was a great prof! He got off topic and distracted often during class time, but always finished the notes on schedule. He really screwed us over on the exam this past semester. But the midterm tests were very fair, and almost identical to the ones online. Best of luck, cant say Im sad that this class is over for good!

I really liked his way of teaching and he's one of my favourite profs at this university. The term tests are very similar to the ones he posts online and are focused on material from labs.

Gismondi is the, in my opinion, one of the kindest teachers at guelph. He really cares about you and wants everyone to succeed. He works through examples at a good speed but will stop at any point if you have any questions at all. Amazing teacher!

Cutest prof you will ever have and he always has funny stories that help to make long lectures more bearable. He has office hours after each class making him easily accessible and answers all questions. Labs are supper important as questions are taken from them for tests/exams. I highly recommend doing practice tests as many questions are identical

Super fun guy, makes lots of funny comments that make long lectures bearable. Although the lectures are pretty boring (I mean, it is calculus), he really does care about the content and always listens to students' comments.

Loved this professor. He was so funny and a really nice person. Honestly, I do not like math but the way he talked about it and visualized functions and derivatives really spiked my interests and inspired me to learn more. Highly recommend.

Comment:
Really fun person but not a very clear professor. Really nice but spends way too long on simple concepts that everyone understands and then speeds through the new material. Labs are also extremely fast paced but they are run by TAs, not Gismodni. Practice tests are extremely helpful, so do as many as you can and keep up with the homework modules

Gismondi is clearly a good person and a nice guy, but for a calculus teacher he is not very good. Is very confusing when explaining and goes over things far too fast for students to grasp properly.

Comment:
the 1080 class is a joke in comparison to the 2080 class. With 1080 i went to maybe 3 lectures total, did basically no homework, and finished with 90. For math 2080 You absolutely need to go to class, and suplementary extra help is really worth it. This really felt like an intensive, university level math class. Good guy, very accesible.

MATH1080 - Overall a good introductory course. Lectures are pretty structured but can get messy. Textbook helps, mock exams are good practice. MATH2080 - A significantly harder course. Notes are all hand-written and a lot more messy than MATH1080. People switch programs because of this course. Attend lectures and take notes, and OFFICE HOURS HELP!

Professor Gismondi is wonderful. I struggled with math but I somehow got through it because of the extra help he gave us. He's a professor who acts like a human being. He understands how hard the adjustment is from High School to University, and he's compassionate when your putting in the work. He's personable and makes math less intimidating.
