Dr. Tucci cares about his students. The class was challenging but he was very willing to clarify. The tests were difficult but straight from the slides. The first group project was much harder than the second.

By far the best teacher I've ever had the chance to experience. He spent his whole summer tutoring me, free of charge, in order for me to be able to transfer universities.

Comment:

In terms of the subject itself, Calculus is challenging. Tucci will cover the material but I found online notes to be useful. His tests are very brief and simple. If you have a basic understanding of the material(s) then it's all good. Just take note on stuff he emphasizes on. Overall simple guy, basic class.

Comment:

Tucci is a very dark humored kinda guy. He will stop many times while giving examples and say they are completely wrong. If you can deal with those annoyances then TAKE HIM! Talk to him out of class and he will greatly appreciate it. Unlike most prof, he really cares about his students! Tests are also very simple!

Comment:

Avoid at all costs. Offers little help to students, rarely allows questions in class. I once set up an out-of-class meeting during Tucci's office hours, and he still didn't show up.

Dr. Tucci is a good prof. although a bit strange (hes a calc teacher-what can u expect.) but he obviously cares how u do in the class and appreciates even a little extra effort. I would recommend him if you have to take calc. hes very intelligent and is willing to help anyone.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE COMPUTER IMPACT! Seems like an easy blow off class.The worst class that I have taken in my four years in college! Boring and the man as an ****! While I know that he is very intelligent he should not be teaching a bunch of people who could careless about the history of computers. He is cranky and angry and mean and a waste of time

DO NOT TAKE FOR COMPUTER IMPACT. VERY BORING, USELESS CLASS. based on the syllabus, i thought the class would be fun and a blow off but i didnt learn a thing. We had a biography and a powerpoint to do every week. the whole class was writing papers and NOT learning. the man doesnt know anything that has happened with computers in the past 20 years

Professor Tucci is cool. He is one of the better Math Professors at Loyola, if not the best when it comes to clarity.

Comment:

I think he might be a good prof for a higher level math class, because you can tell how smart he is. But it's clear he doesn't remember what it's like to not know how to do more simple problems. He gives exemptions to the final if you have an A average. Very dry, sarcastic humor.

Comment:

what a sad little man. the most boring class i've ever had. don't buy the book, it's all online, and the tests come from that and occasionally what you do in class. it's the kind of class that's a blowoff, but if you're not careful, you might not do so hot.

He is cynical and seems to hate life. He is anal and gets mad if you go to the bathroom during class. He wont let out class not even a minute before time even if he is done lecturing.

He is ridiculously cynical and bitter. He appears to hate his life at times and his students as an extension of that. Dude just needs to chill.

Tucci is awesome. His class is interesting (I think he knows the life story of every mathematician to ever live... you will hear some of them) and relatively easy.

I found this class to be very uninteresting, but it was just the material, not Tucci. I think Tucci's a great teacher, very funny and very willing to help you if you don't understand something.

Crazy teacher...don't take him unless your a computer science major. Has a weird sense of humor and can't teach Powerpoint yet he's a comp sci teacher? Hmmm
