Comment:

DON'T TAKE HIM!!!! It's very difficult to pass his class. His grading criteria are very tough. He doesn't give you any extra credit even if you want to improve. If you can't avoid him, then you have to put your 200% on this class. If you really have to take him then go to tutoring from Day 1. Don't fail an exam. He is very slow with emails too.

Comment:

An online class is not an easy A. Don't take him if you have never taken any online class before. He is not good with emails. 3 exams and each worth 23 percent. His lectures are just powerpoint slides with no audio. You have to teach yourself the materials. Stick to a good tutor since the first day of class if you really want to get a good grade.

great professor! very clear & straight forward in what he wants! he explains things so well it was rare for me to even ask for help. this was an online statistics class which i thought would be hard but turned out amazing! he does make you come in for 3 sundays to take the test but its ONLY 3 days! take him you will get an A if you do what he says!

Prof. Furnari skyped in with another teacher present in the room. Sounds like a bit of a crazy setup but it worked great cuz these guys work great together. Writing intensive but both professors helped a lot along the way. Recommend!!

Comment:

Prof. Furnari was the best. He taught class in a comfortable settng and was explicit. (he should be a motivational speaker)the first day I thought he was the student. Simply adorable, his parents must be very proud of him. a very very very interesting class, challenging for me but I hung on in there as he made you want to come back.

Friday night at QC has never been so interesting. He makes class fun, and enjoyable so you feel like you are not there!!! If you read the books, do all assignments, ask questions when not sure, come to class, and study for his exams, then you will do fine and also love his class. He is one of the Best!!!

I love coming to his class... (Even on a Friday night)His tests are very reasonble and he goes over the material for it. There is nothing wrong with his test, you only need to study... Like any other class you are here to learn and to get test it for what you know... Besides he is super CUTE!!!

Talked too much about nothing,things that he suggested to study for weren't on the tests. More than half the class failed the tests. What does that say?

He is incredibly helpful and patient, and approachable. You dont use the textbook all that much beisdes for homework, which is just the few pages that we need. the textbook is basically incomprehensible, and he goes over it in class.
