Comment:

I am taking Dr. DiPippo's night class and almost the entire class works full time and takes other classes. His work load is ridiculously heavy and he does not clearly explain things in class at all. Differing opinions/viewpoints lead to condescending comments from him. His philosophy degree apparently makes him a superior human being. Not a teacher

He is such a nice man and so invested in his work as well as his students. He truly cares about the topic and will describe it to you in multiple different ways until you understand. Definitely would recommend!

Pretty standard all around. Class material wasn't all that difficult and he taught it well. All tests are fair and he is open to helping out any student who asks.

Made the class incredibly easy. Material could be pretty dry at times but Dipippo explains it all clearly and answers any questions you may have. Doesn't ever check the homework and there's 4 test throughout the semester

Comment:

DiPippo is the man. While the subject matter can seem dense, you can't find a teacher who can present it more clearly than Alex does. He's extremely patient and will spend good portions of class time to explain any questions that he is asked. The material is the toughest part about Logic, and he understands that. Just practice a lot.

Although the subject matter can be challenging, Alex does a great job explaining it clearly. He is a lenient grader and is very approachable if you need extra help. Highly recommend taking him.

The worst professor I ever had. Was completely unhelpful and condescending when I tried to ask questions. Clearly loves his subject but he teaches it as if everyone in the course is as well-versed as he is. Avoid if at all possible.

Logic - Boring, and he sometimes has a hard time explaining things in a way people understand. However, his class isn't hard, and he's a nice guy.

He is great! Very clear explanations and reasonable quizzes. He is extremeley smart and funny and is always available for help when it is needed. The concepts are interesting and challenging at times but he does a good job of clearing them up. There isn't that much work and hardly any reading!

Comment:

Total waste of my time and effort. A useless course. I learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in this class. The class would have been better if he taught us how we are to apply this horrific material to our everyday lives, to careers, or to other courses. In my opinion, he is a condescending geek dressed in preppy summer clothing. Glad its over!

Nice teacher that teaches a completely useless class. Logic is a waste of money and time. But, for some reason PC makes it mandatory for all students. So we all have to suffer through it.

Comment:

Great teacher very helpful but wrong course to take. He teaches it as a graduate class not an introductory one. Take his class when you have no other classes and not in the summer. Very helpful out side of the classroom to meet and understand the work but it's hard.

Comment:

DiPippo is funny, a little awkward. He is very nice and always willing to help...even skipped lunch one day to explain some of the work. The subject matter is a little confusing since it is logic but it mainly tests and quizzes and he is a fair grader. shouldn't be too hard if you can pay attn and really try to understand

Comment:

Class was pretty boring, but he was a nice guy and the material was really easy. He wants you to do well and makes himself available if you need extra help. He gives a few quizzes and two tests. He scaled some of them and also gave a lot of extra credit on the final. Good class to take for an easy A in a core.
