One of the worse courses I have taken by far. He likes to pile up assignments especially over weekends. He likes to take points off on everything for many tiny reason.

Comment:

Worst course I have ever taken, does not teach and expects you to know all of the material on your own. Tons of online Khan assignments and assignments in canvas. Doesn't teach anything and gives quizzes, then shows you how to do the quiz after you take it. It sucks since this course is required to my major and he is the only professor offered.

Comment:

The absolute WORST professor I have ever had at La Salle. Assigns constant online homework due the following day because he is too lazy to teach in person. Quizzes and labs are the bulk of your grade which he gives no guidance on and grades incredibly hard. He makes me want to rip my hair out with the constant assignments. HORRIBLE prof and class

Comment:

Dr. DiDio is the WORST professor I have ever had in my life. This class is only two days a week but there is literally something due every single day. I have not retained a single piece of information from this class. Don't ask him for help either, he talks in circles. Or "circular reasoning" as he calls it when he claims we do it. I hate him

He taught me physics II. His lectures were great. If you study then you will be fine. He also gives a lot of extra credit assignments so that helps boost your grade too.

Comment:

It's a tough class and most of the people who end up withdrawing are people who don't keep up with the work or study enough. If you study and practice, then you will do well. His tests are tough but as long as you study you'll be fine.

You won't pass no matter how smart you think you are. He can not teach at all and is so confusing during lectures. His tests make 0 sense and he does not curve at all! Literally the worst teacher I ever had.

He does not explain things clearly. You have to reread his directions constantly before submitting to make sure you have every piece included. He is not every helpful when you ask for clarification. Is a tough grader and takes points off for minor errors.

Comment:

He's actually very rude. Not saying this because I got in fights with him I never had a problem. but he was always being very disrespectful to the students in my class. Barley teaches you what you need to know. Soooooo much homework, like 6-9 assignments a week (which is projects quizzes hw etc) expects way too much and I like computer science! :(

Comment:

I would refrain from taking this professor at all cost! You have to self teach yourself the material (Calculus, CSC and Physics)and everyone knows this professor is hard. Save your GPA and do not take this professor. I was in a class with two groups of about 20 students... both got merged into one section with only 7 students remaining.

Comment:

Professor Didio is possible one of the worst professors I've ever had. I ended up withdrawing from his class because there was no way I could make up the grade. He teaches as if you have already taken the class. DROP THE CLASS AND SWITCH INTO SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE IT IS TO LATE.

He gives homework before teaching the stuff in class which confuses people. He tends to teach something one way in class but give it another way on the test. I wouldn't take his classes again.

Comment:

I don't know why folks didn't like him. He is a great professor, willing to help, and tries to have students figure the problem on their own b4 just giving the solution. You are expected to work 4 your grade in his class. He is 1 of the best professors at La Salle. People don't like him b/c they had to work hard for their grade. Take him if you can

Comment:

He's a really nice man. I had the pleasure of staying after with him after a few classes. He is always willing to help a student. He just expects the best and takes class a little too seriously. He wants perfection, which none actually have. I liked him, but like 8 kids dropped. So unless you like effort, don't take him. But you will learn A LOT.
