IT'S TRALDI! This guy is the best professor I've ever had. I had him for math 290 and he was always helpful both in class and out of class. His policy was such that 1 exam was dropped and so was a homework. If you bombedfailed an exam you would still be able to come out with a very good grade in the class, assuming you worked hard to do well

I absolutely adored Professor Traldi. He couldn't be any more adorable. He tries to make some jokes to keep everybody interested even if they're terribly corny. He also gives you bonus points on quizzes and sometimes tests if you just write a joke or something on the paper. Oh and you also get to use notes and the textbook on tests and quizzes.

as stated below, this class is harder than it seems. exams are not what is covered in class and even though it is open notes, your notes done really help

Comment:

Professor Traldi is an incredibly nice man and cares a lot about his students success. Definitely take his class but contrary to what you may originally think he is not the easiest grader and it is necessary to attend class and do the homework to succeed in the class!

Comment:

Professor Traldi is incredibly intelligent and a very caring man, but his class is not as easy as it originally seems. He is very unorganized and is always challenging to follow. He assigns homework and makes all material seem very easy in class, but then creates extremely hard tests that are unexpected.

Comment:

Prof Traldi is incredibly unorganized! He is very hard to follow (especially through proofs) as he constantly skips steps and writes his own commentary and thoughts in the middle of proofs/problems. He also does NOT provide solutions to exams or homeworks. Additionally, he NEVER lets students out on time.

Great professor, very engaging and extremely funny and enthusiastic. No reading assignments for the Paradoxes FYS, just one student giving a presentation every day and the rest of us discussing and asking questions. He is critical when grading papers, but that's only to bring out the best in our writing. A paradoxical movie also shown every week.

What a guy. He's funny and engaging. All the tests were open book and open note, so take good notes, since the book isn't perfect. Know his terminology and how he speaks, and that's how the tests will work.

This is the Prof to take for 186 econ majors. Funny/ lively. Weekly quizzes and 3 Exams for your grade. No homework to be turned in. Make sure you take his exams fast, they are very fair but you must pace yourself to get it all done and have time to check over. He loves a good joke too.

Professor Traldi's class antics really do make the lecture time more enjoyable and it is exceedingly obvious he knows how to teach the course. Testing and other policies are fair and essentially anyone who does their homework should excel.

I took Calc III with Traldi. Great guy. Goes the extra mile in and out of class to help you with the material. He loves math and loves what he is doing. I would definitely have taken another class with him.

Comment:

A really fun, entertaining teacher who enjoys what he is doing and wants the class to be interesting for the students. He is clear about what he expects and gives many opportunities for extra credit, including telling a joke or doodling on the exam.
