Comment:

He has a very hard time communicating with the class. It is almost like he is intimidated by large crowds. He gets flustered and says magic is how things happen. He also over complicates everything. You will do better if you just watch online tutorials.

Comment:

Dr. Carl Latino is a very nice teacher and he can be very reasonable, however, passing his class requires constant communication with him. His lectures introducing certain concepts for the first time can be vague and confusing, but after communicating with the teacher, you'll find the concepts themselves are not actually that difficult.

I was in his 'Computer Based Systems in Engineering' class. His difficulty would easily go down a mark or two iff you know C, else-wise, it is hard and either-way I advise you to purchase the optional textbook. It is like 30$

Comment:

This professor is awful. His lectures are all over the place, and I'd be willing to bet money he just gets to class and wings it every day. His "homework" assignments are vague suggestions, and he constantly tells us to practice things at home without teaching us how to do it or where to learn. Avoid this horrible professor like the plague.

Comment:

No textbook. Lectured purely on the fly. Easy material made difficult by sub-par lecturing and careless grading. Frequent grading mistakes on exams. He allowed you to contest them and sometimes gave back points. Very convenient until you take the final and can't correct his lazy grading. Also, be ready for passive-aggressive condescension.

Comment:

He is extremely vague. Usually he would come to class not knowing what he was going to teach, but then would expect you to know what you are doing on the tests. If there has been one class in my college career that has felt pointless it has been this class. Definitely the worst professor I have had, and I would not recommend taking his course.

Comment:

Avoid this guy by all means, even if it means pushing a class back further impeding on your graduation. He is very unclear with his lectures. If you ask him questions, he will try to answer them, then he'll get confused about what he's talking about, and then he'll say that you've got the gist of what he's saying.

Comment:

The instructor makes his lectures up off the top of his head. He makes numerous errors and rushes through his examples so lecture time is useless. Be prepared to TEACH yourself. He grades extremely critical but has trouble solving the same problems that he assigns. He is also very unorganized and hard to follow.

Comment:

Had the good Dr. for several classes. I learned more in his classes than in any others. He treats his students like adults meaning he doesn't assign homework and doesn't require attendance. If you try you'll do well and if you don't you will fail. Sometimes disorganized but very helpful and encourages creativity in projects. Highly recommended.

If you're just looking forward to pass the class, he's not the right professor for you. You have to be creative as he expects that from his students.

Comment:

And to put one more thing down. Before I met Dr. Latino, I was already given a negative bias towards him. So, when I took his classes I really never gave him a chance. Since, I been here at Main campus I see what Dr. Latino was wanting to do over at OSU-Tulsa. The only problem is OSU-Tulsa doesn't have as many resources for EE labs.

Comment:

I feel that I should put a new comment up about Dr. Latino. He is a great person to get to know. His teaching style is different compared to the norm at OSU-Tulsa. However, he is dedicated to teaching. His belief and shared among others is a student learns more when he/she is in the lab building different circuits compared to a classroom lecture.

Comment:

he is bit unorganized, sometimes he'll come in and ask what you want to learn for that day. I think he's a great teacher, he'll gladly help anyone understand the material. He's a bit tricky on the exams but if you know the material, he'll have no pray. grades according to the test not whos name's on it.
