Comment:

He's absolutely awful. It's definitely time for him to retire. He stands in front of what he is writing while explaining so nobody can put together the material and his explanation. He also talks to the board, not to the students. Showing up to class is worthless. I ended up just skipping class and reading the book. Disgustingly terrible professor.

Worst math professor I've ever had. This guy can't teach if his life depended on it. You're better off not showing up to class and teaching yourself. Should not be teaching.

Comment:

I liked math and never got less than an A until Ucci. He didn't take time to explain anything and his rare atempts to do so were awful. I learned more from TAs in 20 minutes than I did from Ucci all year.

Not such a great professor. He knows the information but its nearly impossible to read what he writes on the board! Best way of passing his class is to read the text book!

Comment:

Ucci is by far the worst math professor I've ever had in my life. Tests are ridiculously unfair. Grading is unfair. Speeds through material without explaining it. When he does try to explain it, he fails miserably. Is often unable to complete his sentences. Also often unable to answer questions. Extremely unhelpful. Avoid at ANY COST.

When it comes to teaching Ucci is an "absolute zero"

Comment:

He could care less about teaching or his students. Seems preoccupied and unable to explain even simple basic concepts. He has a hard time relating to people in his class, so you have to do ALL the work without any help from him. AVIOD and find a teacher who will recognize that you are alive.

He's confusing and makes an easy class complicated. My TA wasnt much better so i suggest just reading the book before exams and doing practice problems and you will do fine.

Comment:

He makes no sense. He takes easy material and makes it confusing because he can't put two sentences together. He uses messed up examples and cannot pronounce "placebo." Avoid this guy if you can.

Homework is very helpful and optional, and tests are all open book. Take the biggest points, write them in the book, and it's an easy class.
