Comment:

I've never had a professor yell at students for asking questions before. This man must have curved our final grades for the class because I passed one quiz with and possibly the final all semester. Everyone else that took the class did about the same and still passed. Expects you to be an accountant in an intro course. Very defensive and touchy.

Comment:

Hands down the worst professor I have ever had. Did not teach us until the last two weeks of the semester, instead made us read the material and give a presentation on it every class. Then would complain that the presentations were terrible when we did not even receive guidelines for them. Absolutely won't be recommending this man. He should retire

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD. DO NOT TAKE! He does not teach and expects you to read everything. Usually unclear as to exactly what chapters to read. Will ask questions on the reading in class and if you don't know it will say you're going to work at 7/11 for the rest of your life. Tests are very specific and the only forms of grades, no hw.

Comment:

A really great professor!! knows what he's talking about and is very straight forward with the material. If you do the homeworks and follow along you will do well. Showing up to class and his office hours will boost your grade at the end of the semester. I would take him again.

Comment:

He is painstakingly specific in his grading, because the law is very specific. This class was incredibly hard, probably about law school hard. It's so easy to fail his class because he only gives three exams and they are all worth 33.3% of your grade. He expects you to read/memorize everything in the book. ANYTHING can be on quizzes or exams. HARD.

Comment:

Lonardo is a real law teacher. He is very specific because the law is specific. He has a sense of humor, and participating definitely helps you on his grading. Do the readings, and ask questions in class and you will be fine. He offers extra credit but you have to work for it. Overall, if you put in effort you will be fine.

Comment:

This class is absolutely miserable and should be removed from the NetSec degree. He gives three tests that are graded. Everything else is optional for extra credit points towards the tests. Too bad he grades like his students are on trial. If you see anyone else teaching this class take it with them. He doesn't care if you fail.

Comment:

Worst professor that I've ever had. His lecture's aren't clear, expects you to memorize every single word he says for tests. Makes you do work that he doesn't even bother reading and will fail you anyways. Worst class and worst professor. Can't think of a reason why the school keeps him teaching!

Comment:

Londardo expects EXTREMELY specific answers on test, basically word-for-word what he says in class. If you can take Langdon for business law, you should! I had to drop Lonardo's class because I could not pass it and I am not in Langdon's class which provides much more clarity on the subject matter.

Comment:

Please just do yourself a favor and DO NOT take any of Lonardo's classes. His financial accounting class was extremely confusing. I went to him for help and he did nothing and made me feel stupid. He is very intimidating and his teaching skills are not helpful at all. He only gives tests so its very easy to fail his class. Dont waste your time

Lonardo is a nice guy but a horrible teacher. He barely gives you help if you go to him after class and he is very intense in class. I do not recommend taking his financial accounting class.

Comment:

Great guy and energetic but their are random pop quiz's that are pretty hard. You have to do the homework in order to pass this class and it is fairly easy to get lost in the first couple chapters. This is not an easy class and will take some dedication to get a decent grade in.

He is a nice guy but the tests are so hard and he doesn't care how the class does. He is a horrible teacher, and he goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with anything instead of teaching the material.

Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had. He does not care about his class as a whole and will have no problem calling the class stupid, and he is serious. If you want a professor who likes to teach and will help the class along the way, DO NOT CHOOSE HIM!!
