Comment:

Horrible professor, can't teach or convey material to students. He is boring and hardly helpful. His tests were impossible if not for the multiple re-trys. Had no control or respect over his students. DON'T take him.

Comment:

I normally never write on these things, but I feel it's my duty to warn students about this professor. If you're thinking about taking Astronomy with Caruso...smack your head on your desk and think again. He's the worst professor I've had at Elon. Unclear, uninteresting, and unhelpful. The tests are impossible. This class is a waste of your time.

If you're not a science major, don't take astronomy with caruso. He knows what he's talking about but will ramble on for the entire class like we all understand everything he says. sooo boring.

he is a really nice, smart guy but really doesn't teach the information well. the best way to go is to work with a tutor or read the material on your own.

Comment:

ok honestly, repeats himself at least 2 times each class, knows what hes talking about but presents it in a way that nobody knows what is going on, more than half the class failed the first test..i mean honestly is that not hint enough that you suck at teaching? hated the class, wanted to kill myself every 100 minutes iwas there.DO NOT TAKE.BEWARE!

Comment:

He is a scientist who doesnt realize when he loses the class. Does "try" to be helpful to those non-science people. Nice guy whose class you can pass even if you are someone not interested in science.

I did very well in this class but my classmates whined ALOT. Don't take this class if you're not smart enough to learn physics.

Not a good class at all, teaches directly from power points, boring, unclear, strange grading scale, difficult take home tests. Would not recommend.

Comment:

TERRIBLE. I am appauled that we have complained endlessly about this goofball, yet he is still around. I am disgusted that I will be taking the MCAT's and will most likely do terrible because he didn't teach us a THING. You know he sucks when tests HAVE to be take home, because no one gets it.

Comment:

I can tell you more about this man's personal life than I can tell you about physics. He spends most of his time talking about his personal life and avoiding your questions. There are days I have to skip just because I won't be able to handle his class and will have to walk out. DONT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

HORRIBLE professor. He never completely answers your questions and is not helpful outside of the classroom at all. He is unorganized and simply does not teach. For 85.00 a class period, I feel like I was totally ripped off. Definitely do not take, he is just a horrible teacher.

Loves what he does and it shows but that doesn't really help you learn the material. Tries to assist you but to no avail.

Take his classes if you like science. He teaches from a scientist point of view. Recommended for those wanting to learn, not for those who don't.

This guy loves science. He is a good teacher for those who want to learn some science with a little effort. He will not give you a good grade just because you paid for the class.
