Comment:

Grades hard, tests hard, lectures hard, unhelpful out of class. Many students in class were taking class for the second time. If I'd been taking it for the second time, I might have learned more. As it was, I only took it once. I had no time or money to waste taking things twice. Passed, but not happy he was the only option that semester.

Comment:

Definitely chooses favorites in the class and judges people too quickly in my honest opinion. Not a terrible teacher, but quite dry and unbending.

Comment:

Comella was very fair in grading but during class he would pick certain students out. His hw was easy as long as most of the tests, but they aren't worth many points so if u do one thing wrong the whole thing is marked off!

Comment:

He was a fairly effective professor. He did look down on many students who took the class to LEARN math, not to practice what they already know. That is why you take a college course.

Comment:

Talks and writes too quickly, doesn't really help with homework questions until you've turned it in and he has had the chance to grade you down for it. Other than that ok, at least he goes over the homework and just teaches from the book - just read it.

Comment:

Moves too fast and won't answer questions. He's not a good professor although he knows his information. He makes you feel dumb if you ask a question-- Like "you should know this why are you asking me questions?!?"

I went to college to learn, not to review what I already know (replying to previous statements). He is rude, conceited, and does not care about students. Anyone can teach examples out of the book!!! Take another professor and enjoy the learning process.

Comment:

Very good professor. Explains things with examples & easy homeworks. Don't take a math class in college if you don't understand math, then blame the prof! Notice that people who give him bad ratings can hardly spell professor let alone rate them correctly

Comment:

Comella is fair, and he knows what he's doing. Pretty average for a math teacher. Explains all the homework problems (not much homework either)and grades fairly. Doesn't have much tolerance for idiots, especially ones who can't figure out seating charts.

Comment:

This man is an awful professor. I went to him a few times for help and he did nothing but look down upon me like I was an idiot. I did not learn anything from him in this class and Calculus 2 isn't necessarily easy to learn on your own.

I thought Dr. Comella was a very competant professor and also very fair. I learned a lot in his course and he had clear expectations. If you put forth an effort, you will have no problems.

I tell you what.....don't take his class. I graduated from boro around 4 years ago and my life is very good. But when I was in college he was rude and took blames on me all the time.
