AWESOME WORKOUT
Amazing professor...easily the best two classes i have this year...swimming and intro to P.E.. Always talking about relevant stuff which is really good. Keeps me interested, which isn't an easy thing to do.
Easy class. He gave you hints during all the practical tests to make sure that you passed. Very informative. As long as you can keep your eyes off his hot body, you will pass the class no problem.
This guy is the best, hes down to earth, loves cars and he is there if you need him...he will do his best to help you pass
i love him! amazing bodyy and hes so incredibly cool & fun!
he is seriously soooo nice and hes willing to work with you if you dont get something
hes such a nice guy,he s willing to work with you ,hes patient and he has a good sense of humor
fun and easy class if you know the basics of swimming. he's funny and cool to talk. You go diving, jumping off the diving boards, it's fun. One final which he gives you the answers to. take him
He's a really nice guy and a good grader. If you only have one absence, he will bump up your grade.The class isn't easy, but just don't be absent more than once and you'll do fine.

He's hot!!!! you'll be very happy in his class. his homework and tests are really easy.
awesome! really funny and pumps you up to play well. i love tennis!
he is sooo hott. Very easy grading, nice, and easy going.
stickler for attendance, overall the class is good, this is thw class where when the professor says i didnt give you that garde, you gave yourself that grade comes inot play....with only 2 test he still gives you so many chances to walk away with a A or B at least...you have to do work in this class but none of it is hard or terrible, deff worth it
cool teacher and very easy to get along with
i took swimming w him over this summer. def best class ive ever taken. funniest prof ever! really nice to talk to and tons of fun to be around. i told everyone to take swimming w him!
he is a great teacher knows how to have fun but is takes his job very serious that is because he has a passion for Phys Ed and wants his students to do so as well. Take this teacher if you really want to be a great Phys Ed teacher he will teach and show you the right ways to go about your career.
HIGHLY RECOMENDABLE.THE BEST PROF. EVER ONCE YOU FOLLOW GUIDELINES AN A TS A MUST.
EASY TO RELATE TO,COMPREHENSIVE,KNOWS HIS WORK.I LOVE HIM
prof is horrible hardest class ever prof is knowledgeable and enthusiastic but grades hard very hard to get even a b do not take this guy unless you have no other choice
best professor ever .. just follow everythign he says and u def will get and A! attendance is a must!

Professor Maddaluno takes his job as a CPR instructor very seriously which is a great thing. He is also a very fun teacher and his method will get you to know how to perform the techniques perfectly. I highly reccomend him to anyone.
best prof ever.. if yu fail his classes its not because he grades hard its because yu failed to do the wrk... he is very fair.. best class i ever took
Great teacher. His class is difficult but you learn a lot from it. He gives all his students very helpful advice in the physical education field. Once in a while his class is fun but he takes his work very seriously. Tests are very difficult. Gives 7 possible extra points to final grade. Give it your best shot I had to work my tail end off for a B+
AMAZING!
he was AMAZING, you must take notes, he gives review sheets, amazing jokes, you must pay attention. i strongly recommend him. he also explain everything and makes sure students understand.
BEST! TEACHER !! EASY TESTS IF YOU'RE TAKING FIRST AID AND CPR , HE IS NOT OUT TO MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT HE MAKES EVERYTHING CLEAR AND TRIES HIS BEST TO PASS YOU WITH A GOOD GRADE!
Great teacher. Really has a passion for teaching and it will rub off. He does everything he can to get you to the best grade he can. Tests are fair if you study a little and he gives 5 1 pg assignments that add a point to your avg. also 2 pts for being there every class. I got an A and i higly reccomend him. Take him for first aid too.
He is amazing he explains things so clear he gives really good notes. He reviews before the test so pay attention. As long as you pay attention in class give some effort and read his notes you will do jusst fine in his class. He is a very fair grader.Don't take him thinking it is a class you can mess around in and still do well because your wrong
Profressor Maddaluno is a great instructor, he is very clear with instructions and very reasonable. I was a non-swimmer until this class. He made me overcome my fears underwater. I gained confidence, he is very encouraging and knows his this field. He dosen't like lateness and absences, but very fair. I learned to swim and its a great feeling.
Extremely nice!!! Understanding if you arrive late or miss a few days. Dont take advantage of his niceness though, or he'll deduct the missindays from your grade!
Don't you hate when professors of unimportant classes act they can't be replaced? This guy is just like it. Rather than making it a normal PED class he tries to turn it into boot camp and has the audacity to give a written exams for a damn PED course. If you're looking for an easy PED A... DO NOT TAKE HIM
Easy A. Attendance is mandatory!! He goes over everything you need to pass the test. Very straight forward. The red cross safer first aid exam is common sense and idiot can do it.
easy class. Takes volleyball and racketball class serious. Attendance is mandatory. Just show up and play and youll do good.
Great professor. Very fair with grading, juggling isn't everyones forte and he understands that. By far one of the best professors I've had the pleasure of learning under. Just practice and have fun, such a good class.
Best and most passionate teacher ever had. He loves what he does and is very good at it.
He's a good guy and doesn't want to see anyone who deserves a good grade to do bad & helps them out
Took him twice my favorite prof. He's great he's passionate about what he does & wants to make sure he teaches you something you can do out of class & later in life. Definitely going to miss this class! Your grade consists of attendance, swim final, & a half a mile swimming (timed) that's all.
The class is fun, nothing to worry about, just be ready to be silly.
He is very passionate about what he is doing. Will help you no matter what. his jokes are good. written final got tricky tho
Prof. Maddaluno was very helpful, frequently gave you test questions throughout lectures. Lots of info is thrown at you, TONS of CPR/first aid practice, always relates lectures to his past experiences. Very few tests, no quizzes. As long as you display competency in skills you'll pass. Laid back and hysterical, one of my favorite professors at NCC.
Great professor, explains everything there is about first aid and safety. I would defiantly take this class over again if I had to.
Probably the coolest professor i met so far. Learned a lot. Has a lot of jokes
GREAT professor one of the best at nassau. Is always there for you. No textbook necessary. Truly inspirational and his class was NEVER boring! Just show up on time and pay attention and the tests are a breeze.
Great Professor! Fair and understanding, and makes class fun and interesting!
be prepared to swim a timed 36 laps or a 1/2 mile for the final, grade is determined by a time range based upon previous class average time, so if u have a really fast swimmers in the group it can screw up the time scale for the grades. But overall really chill professor and makes class fun
At first you think he is weird for speaking so passionately bout circus arts, but u quickly learn he just takes any type of education/skill you could learn seriously, but makes it fun. Circus arts isn't as easy as u think! He is a goof ball and isn't to bad to look at. I wonder what he looks like w/o glasses lol In all a wonderful human and heart.
I took basic swimming with Professor M. He is literally one of the best professor i have ever met. I never knew how to swim before and he taught me the basic and i can easily now get from one side of the pool to the other. Due to religious reasons i could not wear any bikinis, but as long as the swimwear is waterproof, he is okay with it.
Best prof ive had. extremely knowledgeable and passionate. at the beginning of the semester he makes the class sound harder than it is. the few writing assignments are simple and graded by the fact that you did them. he makes it clear what will be on the tests. all tests were curved. great advisor for phys ed majors
Great guy! By far the best teacher I have ever had. He cares about his students. I got an A for the course. You'll pass his class with a good grade as long as you pay attention in class and take notes, and definitely study for all of the test because they are hard. He gives you a chance to earn 7 total extra points onto your final grade!
Awesome guy! If you're taking this course then professor Maddaluno is the right guy! I got an A in this course. Pay attention and take notes. Participate. If you end up failing then that's on you because this guy feeds you the info
Great class. I wouldn't want any other person to teach me swimming. He teaches each stroke step by step so it's easy to understand.
I had this professor twice and I loved him both times! He's very nice and grades you well. If you show up and participate you will pass. Amazing professor! Would take again.
Great Professor. Participate and you will excel. Even if you suck, if you try hard, he will notice. Don't be absent on the testing days. And, there is a half a letter grade increase to those that are never absent.
He's the most understanding and loving professor I've seen at Nassau so far, If you struggle he'll help with no hesitation. make sure you take him for any PED class he teaches . You'll have a great semester
I loved this professor hes fantastic. Really such an easy class, he makes it fun too. Really so funny and he cares about his students. Definitely take his class! The tests are a bit difficult but if you pay attention and do what he asks its an easy A. Hes a great professor I learned a lot.
Easily the coolest teacher at Nassau. Totally cares about the students and if you don't know how to swim, you will know by the end of the course.
Great teacher
The best professor at nassau
I took Professor. Maddalunos volleyball class this semester and I must say he is a wonderful professor. He taught us all the basics of volleyball, then we played tournaments it was a overall a great time , and I thouroughly enjoyed his class. At the beginning my skills were minimal now they are not. Take him if you get the chance to.
Easily one of the best professor at NCC I was afraid that swim class was going to be hard but he made it fairly easy while making it challenging enough for me to learn how to swim. Loved the class a lot.
Professor Maddaluno kept the class fun and interesting. He was such a nice, caring professor and very funny. He encouraged students to do well and always had such a positive attitude. I wish I needed to take another class he teaches before I graduate. Highly recommend taking him for any class!
I have had this professor for a total of three different classes here at NCC and I can easily say he was the greatest teacher I've ever had. If he teaches any class you need take his class. Just show up and do whats expected of you and he will do anything to help you out. It was truly an honor to have him as a professor.
I took him for volleyball, he is a cool guy who wants to see you do well in his class! Excellent prof!
Awesome guy who wants to see his students succeed ! I would definitely take him again if I could.
I love love loveee Professor M, he is so sweet, kind, caring, funny and has a huge passion for teaching first aide and safety. Even though the course was on zoom, it was still a lot of fun and I learned a lot. You get a final plus a midterm & projects that are so easy. Please take him you wont regret it, he will answer all of your questions ! :)
prf. Maddaluno is awesome! He will push to try your best but never force you. Midterm and Final are based on class notes, super easy! Great work outs.
overall a cool dude but shows grades in front of people. sometimes has a stern voice for no apparent reason. if you dont miss a class then grade goes up by half a letter. doesnt go lower then a B.
Professor Maddaluno is an incredible professor. took him fall 2017 and he is still to this day one of the best professors I have ever had. very caring, understanding, funny and relates what he's speaking about back to real life. still have my home-made first aid kit he had us put together. would take again/recommend to everyone
One of the best professors I had!! My class was in the early morning but still enjoyable! He's funny and will help you if you ask questions or sees that you need help. Attendance and participation matters! Made a very good friend in this class!!!
He was very kind and makes sure to help everyone in class. He doesn't play favorites. I had him for PED277, though I had to drop the class due to anxiety.
Such a cool and kind professor. As long as you pay attention, take proper notes (if applicable) and do your best, you'll do well in his classes. 10/10
Probably the best teacher I have had in college. Dude is hilarious and wants to see you succeed. Do the work, study for the test's and you will get an easy A.
A solid dude, a real role model. Stellar lectures and constant training. Really feel prepared to do CPR in the real world.
The best teacher that i've had in NCC. I absolutely loved taking his class. he is an amazing teacher and is very caring and motivational. 100% would recommend.
My favourite Professor at NCC. He is very understanding and cares a lot about his students. Follow instructions and you will get an A.
dude. just take him. hes great and actual gives a cr*p about his students. i havent even finished the semester and i want to take his class again lol.
I took Professor Maddaluno my 1st semester. Hands down my favorite Professor I ever had at Nassau. I had accommodations for extra time and a reader and he offered to proctor the test for me. He didn't need to do that but he did. Super caring for his students. Will never forget him. He taught me an important life skill CPR and First Aid. 1 of a kind
his tests are hard so make sure to wrtie notes down and study but he is very understanding, caring, gives a lot of extra point assignments so take advantage of them, they are not hard and he is funny. had a great time in his class.
Very caring professor. Easy A class
don't miss his class he always going to recognize you if you don't miss any of his classes or you never are late. I took two classes with him and I am not the best student, however he gave me an A just because my attendance.
Loved him. Great professor!
Professor Maddaluno definitely knows what he's doing. A no nonsense professor and genuinely wants his students to do well.
Al Maddaluno is a great professor. He makes sure every student is taken care of in his classes. It is a easy class to pass. Pay attention and make sure you attend each class. You will have fun in this class and he makes it easy to understand what is being taught. I would take his class again.
