Comment:

Just finished winter session Mao7. He is strict with everything but thats because he wants you to get through the class. Its only 14 classes to do a full semester. NO anything in front of you policy but you can come and go if it you need too. Mike will strike you as serious, but i promise you if you get to know him a bit hes a cool guy.

Hes horrible, doesnt care. Cant be 5 mins late to class. Hes late on every class btw. Hes rude to explain problems when you get them wrong. If you sit near the door he expects you to open for whoever is outside. He keeps the door locked. Save your time and money, pick another professor.

Tough grader, even if you get the right answer he will mark it wrong if you put the variable next to it. Ex: if solving for x and the answer is 2, just put 2 down dont put x2 cause hell mark it wrong. But he wont tell you that, hell tell you that after the exam.

Comment:

Prof Bonnano is incredibly smart. I highly recommend doing the homework at the MLC BEFORE you go to his class and taking notes from the text book BEFORE class. Then just sit back and LISTEN while your in his class. This is a huge mistake people often make. They try and keep up with him while learning the material for the first time. He's hard.

Comment:

I took this Professor for differential equations and I dropped before spring break. Hes very bad at explaining concepts to the class, and does not care if everyone fails a test. Literally there were 5 people left in his class. I cant recommend him.

Comment:

Nice guy, but difficult to learn from this professor if you arent decent in math, seems like he almost does it for himself. Goes over 3-4 problems from hw before lecture. Lecture moves pretty fast; gets thru 3 sections in one class. Stay on top of studying and hw (has a LOT of questions to do btw) and never miss lecture, youll be okay.

Comment:

I'm not sure what this Professor's deal is, but it seems to me that he doesn't seem to care about teaching. He has been late to every single class this semester and when you dare ask him to explain something he says, "Go home and think about it." Why am I paying for this??? DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN'S CLASS. It's shameful that he's a full time professor

Comment:

The class was MAT 203 but the code wasn't available. Professor Bonanno is one of the smartest teachers I've ever had, and his awkward humor is hilarious. Moves incredibly fast due to bulk of material. I was the only freshman in the class and had to work a ton to get ahead. Extremely hard material, but a great challenge! If you don't work hard, fail

Comment:

Very "By The Book", his lectures are ok but he move very fast. No extra credit or the like. He also skips stuff in class hoping you read the book so that he can get through all the material before the semester ends. Has a sense of humor and is polite despite his demanding courses. Personally I'd avoid him if you're not good at math to start with.

Comment:

Dont take him if u expect an easy A. What he teaches in class is enough to grasp concepts to do HW but expect to read the textbk to help with some HW probs. U MUST do ALL the problems to pass the exams. Ask him to go over HARD HW probs first bc he only lets students ask 2 to 4 probs at beginning of class. Test questions VERY similar to HARD HW prob

Comment:

Some might not like the way that he teaches, but he is definitely not the worst professor out there. He does not collect homework, tests are fair, and his lectures won't put you to sleep. If you put in the work, you'll pass with high marks. On top of that, he's rather friendly and willing to help you if you need it.

Comment:

horrible professor!! taking him for Math lab. he expects you to write your problems out on the test with no space on the paper. can't use extra paper!! he rushes you to take each exam and then when you fail he explains each problem to you rudely. HIGHLY recommend choosing a different professor. i'd say more but i'm running out of characters.

Comment:

if ur not studying for a few hours a day you won't get an A. He'll go over 3 problems of homework and teach a new chapter for 10 minutes and expect you to be able to do the 25-50 hw questions, it's very time consuming. If math doesn't come super easy to you/or you didn't take calc in high school, I would avoid him.

If you are not a math major or have a hard time with math at all. do not take him, he loves his math, he does. He does not know how to teach and moves very fast and it is very hard to catch up if you have fallen behind or slacked off at all.

Homework doesn't get collected in his calc class but if you want to succeed you still need to be doing a lot of it. Your grade is based on four tests (one gets dropped) and a final.
