Comment:

Im an A+ student, especially in math and I had to drop this class with him because he would have wrecked my 4.0GPA. Students had to show him how certain problems were done and often would show us the wrong way to do things. Seriously don't take him unless you want to be confused the rest of your math career.

I don't know who is more confused, him or his students. If you can understand math by being read to from a textbook and incorrect (and rare) examples on the board, this class is perfect for you.

Comment:

Flies through the material like everyone already knows it. Reads example problems straight from the book as fast as he possibly can. I can barely keep up reading along, let alone take notes. When he actually does a problem on the board, his handwriting is not legible and he gets almost half the questions wrong. Use pencil and prepared to erase.

I had him my first semester of college, and i understand clearly. I am not good at math, and he was always willing to help. He was hilarious. He made the material seem easy.

Hilarious. Always makes things seem way easier on the day of review. If you attend the review class and do all the hw, it's impossible to fail his class.

Great teacher. He does read straight from the textbook, but will go over everything at least twice as he goes through. Made sure your understood it before moving on. It was a fast paced class, but if you do your homework and ask questions, you'll do fine. His attendance policy is basically: If you show up you'll get a good grade.

Comment:

Useless! Will need library LAC help! Gets many problems wrong IF he decides to try them. One student actually said "Only 1 mistake on the board today" as if it were miraculous. He gets a few problems wrong per day. He is a nice enough guy who likes to come to class and hangout with his students but seems just done with teaching and needs to retire.

Comment:

Well, for starters this guy is a stickler for attendence which is ironic considering that he often will show up late himself. Acts bored and annoyed when asked questions he himself doesn't like answering. Don't take him if you struggle in math; goes through the material like everyone already knows it. Gives NO EXTRA help. Beware. Is an odd characte

Comment:

I think Mr. Niccoli is a great teacher. Pretty much every class we all have a laugh, as he is not too seriouse. He conveys the information well, and will go over anything until you understand. But you have to ask! Do the homework and those exact questions are on the tests (and usually the easy ones). Very fair- Great teach!

I hadn't taken math in 6 years and got an A, when I would usually get Bs and Cs for math in high school. He worked for me at least

Awful teacher. Can't teach, he's very stubborn and you can't be one second late or your absent. Maybe he should focus more on teaching and less on his stupid attendance policy.

Comment:

Nice enough guy, but he doesn't really convey the impression that he cares. Lectures are sometimes unclear. Tests seem fair though. Listen and do the homework and you'll be ok. He looks a lot like Michael Douglas. Will slowly strut into class with sunglasses on top of his head in January. Too funny.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Goes way too fast, will not answer questions, _and_ makes frequent mistakes!
