His class is great only thing graded is 4 exams that are never really that bad. He also lets you bring a cheat sheet with notes on it so if you go to class and study a little bit you should get an A.

One of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of having. He explains everything very thoroughly, and always welcomes questions. He is always willing to provide extra help. For the first time in my life, I understood math, and felt confident in my abilities. Take his class, you won't regret it.

Professor Piascik isn't a hard teacher, I just found the class hard. However, he was very understanding and met with me a couple of times and helped me out with boosting my grade. He will go over anything you ask in class. The only thing that sucks is the whole grade is based on 4 exams so you dont have homework or quizzes to boost up your grade.

You have to attend class, because there is no book! Gives out a ton of handouts. Tests are LONG, not hard. He will end up scaling every test because everyone fails because you have 50 minutes to complete a 1.5 hour test. He will answer every question and encourages questions. Great professor. Would love to take him again and you learn!

Chester is a cute old man. He is literally the best math teacher I ever had. He explains everything so clearly and his tests are so easy. Homework is optional, but I recommend doing it to just reinforce the concept.

Comment:

Professor Piascik is a nice man, but he was really bad at teaching this upper-level course. Didn't explain concepts well, doesn't show coding on a computer, no review before exams, and writing is illegible. You'll most likely leave class with no idea what you just sat through. The exams were very long, although not too difficult. Overall, not good

EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! TAKE HIM! Math is my weak area and he is the best math prof. I have had. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently clear. Fair grader. If you struggle with math def. take him. Explains everything perfectly. No book for this course, he provides you with all hw, and only tests on what he lectures. Show up, take notes!

Professor Piascik is definitely the best math professor I have ever had. He explains everything so well and makes sure you understand examples. If I could take him for every math class, I would. He's a very nice man in general and loves to help his students.

Crystal clear...tests are kind of hard because they are long. He throws in some weird questions that we've never gone over but he wants to see if you understand the concept as a whole! Otherwise, great guy!

Best math teacher I've ever had. I specifically requested him for every math I needed to take. Doesn't move on until you understand and always explains clearly. Tells you why/where you can use what you're learning! Cute old man, corny jokes, wish I could take him home with me!

Comment:

This is the best math professor at Bryant. He's the nicest guy I know and isn't tough at all. His teaching is great and crystal clear. I feel badly about showing up to class late every day, but he never said a word or punished me. He's a great guy. 3 years later I'm writing this review and I can still say he's one of the best I've had.

Comment:

He is by far the best math teacher at the school. Trust me I dropped math 4 times before pulling out a B freaking plus in calc 2. He is everything what a professor should be. Clear lectures, helpful in and out of class and utilizes fair hw and exams. He is so nice and humble that you should feel bad for missing/skipping his classes.

best math grade ive ever gotten. He's really nice and is always willing to answer and questions. You only need to do the HW if you dont fully understand what you learned. The tests are long but he omits half the questions.
