Comment:

He's a great teacher overall, can be condescending but he really does care about his students. He does not like to be rushed or for students to ask a bunch of questions because he goes over everything during his lecture, at the end you can ask specific questions (or during office hours). This is very annoying to a person like me but I still enjoyed

Comment:

He is very poor at explaining how to do problems. He only likes to show his way. Gets angry if you asks questions and likes to belittle students. He will make it known to other students if you are doing poorly in class. Assigns a lot of homework and is rude in general. One of the worst professors I've had at RU

he is not very helpful. If you ask a question he doesn't answer it completely or tells you to think harder(even if the question is something like what is the homework). He is a friendly person but not that good a teaching

Comment:

This professor had a good sense of humor and taught the class as if we were all 5 year olds so everyone understood. If someone didnt understand something he would try to explain it as elementary as possible. Office hours are great, really takes the time to explain. Final review packet is gold, study it and you will be fine

He has nicknames for most of the students. Overall he is really nice but, did not explain when something is not known by a student whom is struggling. Make sure to do the homework because it helps a lot.

AWESOME! He was so nice and is extremely helpful. Make sure you go to every class, if you do you will miss a lot of material. Reinforces the material in every class and do your homework, because it will increase your grade!

has nicknames for some and will remember your name and call on you a lot if he likes you. don't do other work in his class or eat or drink anything and you'll be fine. somtimes when you ask him a question he'll say he doesn't know and make you come to the board and work it out so don't take him if you don't like particpating in class

Seems to really care about his students. I am horrible at math, and he makes the subject not as intimidating. However, that does that mean it seems any easier. If I have to take the course over again, I would want him as my professor again.

Prof Papali was the best math teacher I have had my whole life. Very, very clear and he has the cutest accent ever. He can be slightly condescending sometimes, but overall he genuinely cares for his students. If you need to take Elem. Alg get Papali cause once you get into higher levels you'll wish you could have him again!

Very Good Professor! Once you get around to understanding him and his accent, you'll be fine. Other than that he's always available during office hours...Very fair with grading. You'll walk away from the class understanding what he taught!!

Comment:

He's great, really does care about his students understanding the material; and it does seem like he really wanted all of us to pass (Pass/Fail class). You do have to pay attention, because he does call on people, and even have them come up to the board, but he'll make sure he'll do everything he can to help you do well. There is a lot of homework
