Comment:

Velatini was not good at responding to emails. I took this class online due to Covid and he did not teach at all. He provided power-points and things in order to "teach" but they did not help at all. His tests were on lockdown browser but no webcam. ALL tests and quizzes have multiple attempts so pay attention to what you did wrong.

Had to drop his class mid semester. He's very disorganized and the due dates on assignments can be very confusing. He makes the class content harder than what it actually is. He's a great guy tho but he lacks the qualifications for teaching this subject.

Comment:

Took this class online over the Summer of '2020. Most of everything is thru Pearson MyMathLab, with a few discussions thru D2L. If you work on the practice quizzes and keep at the homework until you get 100% you'll be okay. Professor wasn't as accessible as others I have taken and the majority of the work is done independently.

I took him for an online course and I found it to be very easy to learn. Many in here claim that it took him a while to update the grades but since our class was online I received mine quickly.

Comment:

Professor Velatini is a funny guy, don't get me wrong. However, his teaching style is not straightforward and he gets off track. So if you are not the best at math, or don't pick up information quickly I'd advise you steer away from his class. There were 4 exams (3 were 15% and the final 25%), quizzes (20%), and Webassign homework (15%).

Comment:

Mr.V is so funny but is SO disorganized. He didn't put all of our grades in until a few days before the final so it was difficult to know where you stand. Easy enough class and he does prepare you for tests well. Sometimes he got confused during lectures which confused the class a lot. If you're familiar with algebra, you'll do great.

If you are a math person, Mr. V is the professor for you. He is really funny but doesnt explain things the best. I learnt most of the material from the Webassigns and the online textbook.

Comment:

Course is pretty easy and homework is online. 3 exams with a cumulative final and some quizzes. Not a difficult professor but a lot of the work is done on your own. Often hard to get in contact with outside of class (doesn't always answer emails / not always in office hours)

Comment:

Although Mr. Velatini is a great guy, he is a HORRIBLE teacher. He makes the lectures so confusing that he often ends up getting confused on what he is teaching. Does not grade half of the work that he gives in class. Extremely snarky towards his students. Office hours are pointless because he makes you feel dumb for asking questions. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:

Communication was a real issue with this professor. He promotes open communication with him in his syllabus and announcements but sending him emails rendered useless. All homework is online, along with a proctored midterm, a final, discussion posts, and quizzes. This class is mainly self-taught and there isn't much instruction from the professor.

Comment:

Mr. Velatini is funny and easy to get along with. In addition, He allows plenty of time for makeup work and sets aside time to explain things. However, he is disorganized. I struggled so much because he was just as confused with what we were learning as we were. He never gave us direct grading feedback until the final three weeks of class.

Comment:

Mr. Velatini is awesome! I was terrified to take Statistics and ended up LOVING this class. I genuinely enjoyed coming to class and it went by so quickly. He can be a bit disorganized sometimes and the textbook is completely useless (make sure you go to class!) but I would totally recommend him to anyone and would take him again myself.

Comment:

Mr. Velatini is really funny and nice, but a bit disorganized. He won't officially upload your grades until the end of the semester, so it is difficult to know your grade for the class. You don't use the textbook and he teaches from the board, so it's important to go to class. As long as you pay attention and don't skip, you should be fine.

Comment:

Velantini is definitely one of my favorite professors. He's very funny and tries to make class interesting. His class is easy as long as you show up and pay attention. He gives a quiz every week and optional homework. The tests are very similar to the quizzes and worksheets he gives. I highly recommend him!

Comment:

I struggle a LOT with math & I feel I'm doing just fine with this professor. He answers questions clearly and genuinely wants to make sure the class understands. He can get frustrated but he quickly realizes that we are learning this material for the first time. Webassigns can be difficult. Quizzes and test are not bad if you study the material.

cool guy but isn't very organized. Lectures aren't organized and he rarely knew what he was talking about. He always confused himself which confused everyone else. Didn't know my grade the whole semester, he basically waits until the last 3 weeks of class to start grading everything.

Velatini is a great teacher but you have to go to class to learn. He teaches everything straight off the board. He is willing to explain and even use his office hours to help you. DO THE HOMEWORK. Webassign and the problems from the workbook are used on quizzes and tests. Easy grade if you work for it.

Comment:

He's a great professor. If you do the work (which really isn't very much), you will exceed, as most students do not and therefore slow down lecture. He is very forgiving with grades, often giving extra credit even when it is the fault of the students. Don't be afraid to ask for help. He may roast you though!

Comment:

Velatini is okay. He doesn't post grades into D2L and rarely gives back the quizzes, so you really don't know what your grade is. Some of the material in the class can be challenging and he did his best to help us understand it, but if you didn't understand you were just out of luck. Do good on the quizzes and tests and you can exempt the final.

Comment:

I had Mr. V back in 2015. His style is to work a problem out on the board then give problems to students to practice. Overall, he is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is always willing to help and makes sure that you understand the content. He even helped me with another class I was taking (2040) . I still keep in touch. Love him!
