Comment:
Fabio is a tough grader, but very passionate about projects. Keep the website up to date-his area of expertise is in making "wise" cities. He expects maximum effort on your part (which is to be expected for IQP). He would make himself available to us whenever we asked, and even treated our entire group of students to lunch (24 of us).

His expectations are too high before you go to the project site. Love's Wiki and Google Drive. His methods of feedback wasn't helpful either. Sometimes felt more confused leaving advisory meetings than before

Comment:
Terrible advisor. Micromanages projects yet expects students to take initiative. Constantly (as in 3 times a week) changes his mind on major project goals. Since going on IQP, I have lost respect for him as an advisor and as a person. Do not go to Venice for the projects.

The destroyer of GPAs and student's dreams. He grades on favortism and opinion... Students that actually do good work are graded down while those who don't receive better grades. I should have stayed on campus for my IQP. Avoid at ALL COSTS!

Worst advisor ever. He destroys the futures of students by assigning grades completely disproportional to effort given. The man is a tyrant. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Terrible teacher. Never around, always using the office in Venice for his personal use and would get angry when we wanted to use it because he was spending all his time on dating sites. He should be fired but WPI cares more about money and exposure than teaching their students.

Comment:
This guy is supposed to be the Site Director for projects but the only way you can see him is to travel 40 minutes and visit him at his other job, teaching at ANOTHER SCHOOL! He ignores the project sponsors and project reports and only seems concerned with how project data will benefit his portfolio. DO NOT GO TO ANY IQP SITE ADVISED BY THIS MAN.

Comment:
totally useless. Suggested an IQP option to us, then "got concerned" that the IGSD would think it was too risky the day before the forms were due and didn't send them in. When I started asking the actual risk management people, he backed out. Almost lost my friends their other IQP options. Avoid him like he's got the plague!

He was unable to live up to deals that he claimed were sure things. He also has the noted habit of constantly changing his mind. It almost messed up multiple's peoples futures when he wasn't able to deliver what he had been promising for months.

What a jerk. Make sure you're his buddy or you might go nuts being screwed with. He'll probably drive you crazy either way. Totally unfair.

This guy sucks. He kept changing our project, even when we got to the final week of the term. He also really screwed us over at the end of the term by not talking to our other advisor.

This guy is a douche-bag. If he could change his mind and then his story any more he would really start tripping over his own tounge. Make sure that you get a written agreement on what is required, since he flip flops so much.

He's quite pretentious and arrogant. Also, he likes to point out how much he prefers Italy to the United States.

People usually hate this class, but Fabio made it fun! Especially the debates. He seems kinda shady, though.
