Comment:

Avoid unless you are good at Physics in general. I struggled so bad because he assumes you know everything already before entering the class. Only thing good about his class is that he will try to help you but only if you prove that you at least tried, if you just ask him for general help; he will roast you!

Comment:

I enjoyed his class. He's enthusiastic about the material and he seems to enjoy teaching as well. Clear explanations. Read. Read. Read. He is a stickler about due times, and units. Others are complaining but they just must lack discipline. Like anything else in life, if you care and work hard, you'll be fine. One of the best profs I've had.

By far one of the most unreasonable teachers. If you want a boat load of work join the class. test heavy and super hard grader. He reads every little answer and marks off for units. Basic but dumb!

Comment:

Explains chapter very briefly and then expects you to do all the homework based off the little instruction he gives you. Barley gives you time for the quizzes. we read the chapter and he literally goes over book examples which doesn't help. Tough grader on tests and lab work. Over all decent guy but work load is unreasonable

Comment:

If you are engineering student and you really wanna understand physics, he is right one. The test is little bit hard as others said, but he gives you bunch of practice exam which guarantee you an A if you study them. Also, every test have extra 10% credit you can earn, even in final exam, and it will boost your grade up. No quiz make up tho.

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!! If you're one second late to lab- homework is an automatic percentage off. If you're late to lecture- you cannot take the quiz. I have never met a professor who has taken a course so extreme especially at a community college. homework has nothing to do with the course & Tests are SUPER HARD!!!!

Didnt understand anything he was teaching. The tests were really hard and the quizzes are easy if you read the book. Lab was okay if you have a very good partner

Comment:

This professor tries to make his class interesting and is genuinely passionate about what he does. He takes himself and his role too seriously and treats his adult students like children He makes no accommodations as far as missed class (cant take quizzes in advanced) and the workload is severe. Expect 15+ hours of work weekly for 1100 and no life

Comment:

took 5 week course, hardest class I've taken. While he is a good lecturer, the homework didn't match what we learned in lecture, which makes it hard to reinforce what's learned in class. He is a tough grader, and the exams are extremely difficult. If you have other commitments outside of class, I'd avoid--nightly homework takes hours

Okay, yes he grades you pretty harshly. Yes, he expects a lot from you. This isn't highschool anymore. He is going to push you and I would expect nothing less. He has designed his course to have 10% overall extra credit, including on the tests. He is ALWAYS available. Go see him if you need help. Seriously, you show up, do the work, and you'll pass

Comment:

Grades the labs a bit too harshly and is a bit too thorough on his derivations of various physical equations. Could have spent that time showing us how to use those equations, which is what we're actually graded on. The five week summer course is very difficult: you will not do well if you're doing anything else in your life at the same time.

I had Dr. Fazzini in his Physics 2111 5 week summer course and overall, he is a good lecturer. Tests are difficult and he grades the labs very strictly. He is helpful in his office hours

Comment:

TERRIBLE professor, the online homework was never the same as what was taught in class. Tests are insanely hard and quizzes every week or so. Writes his notes on the board off of a paper he looks at during class. Grades super strict, even marks off points if your predictions are wrong. Refuses to give back points even if you're right. DONT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Great style of teaching if you stay on top of things and attend class. Frequent short quizzes that really make you do the reading which is a good thing because there is a lot of material. Offers EC on tests and labs. Labs are easy and never got below 90. Homework is difficult because he does not go in depth on how to solve problems with numbers.

Comment:

As long as you do all the homework, go to lab, and come to class everyday then there is no way that you wont get at least a B. Dr. Fazzini has office hours for any questions that you might have. The subject is very hard and you have to study a lot if you want an A and do all the homework.

Comment:

The lectures didn't match the homework or quizzes/tests. Dr. Fazzini was often 3 days behind what was on the homework and quizzes. He required a very specific email subject line before he would even read my email request for help, and he did not take walk-ins during office hours. Very difficult class and impossible prof.

Comment:

Dr. Fazzini is one of the best professors I have taken at the College of DuPage. He has a deep understanding for the material and a great passion for Physics. His lectures are interesting and very informational; he doesn't just teach out of the book. Really cares a lot about his students and is there to help you succeed.

By far best teacher at COD. You will learn physics with him guaranteed if you put effort and do your work. He's a really nice guy and wants you to succeed. He's very clear on what he wants from you. You will struggle in his class but in the end you'll be ok with your grade, trust me.
