Very young Prof, fairly give you, your grade. If you have any problems just have to ask, he will be happy to help you in his own time. Great Prof take him, you will understand what's MATH.

very young Prof. However, He knows his stuffs and he is very helpful to his students. If you need help just talk to him, he will use his own time and go over the problems with you 1 on 1. Great Prof take him.

Young teacher, was nice in the beginning of the course. However he teaches at a fast pace and you can't miss class or you will be lost. Gives hw after every class, plus aleks, and his tests are difficult.Unless you want to work everyday on math hw, do not take him.

wonderful. just dont interupt while he's teaching! leave your side convo's for AFTER CLASS :) he's simple. only h.w you have all semester... ALEKS!!

great math professor. brian is the only math professor ive had in college so far that i actually felt like i learned from. the class itself is fast paced but if you keep up with the work, its 100% possible to get a good grade.

I had a 7-week semester with him, so it couldn't be helped the course would be fast paced. If you take notes and do your homework, you're set. During class he'll give an introduction for the topic, give definitions, then do a few problems and break down the steps for you. Then it's on the the next thing; MAKE SURE TO KEEP UP!

He really isn't as bad as everyone is saying he is. He is a little proud, but he writes VERY clear notes and will stop to explain something if someone doesn't get it. COME TO CLASS AND DO THE HOMEWORK! He gives extra credit points on the test for attendance. He goes through the material quickly, so be sure to ask if you have a question.

Great profesor, took him this semester and next, i always had problems with math but not anymore

Awesome Professor. I had him for this semester 9/7/11 - 12/14/11 and he makes sure that you understand what he is teaching (or introducing new topics). Do not be afraid to tell him that you don't understand. He is a few out of the many that cares. I wouldn't mind taking him again for next semester but maybe some other time. Also gives extra credit

He is a very neat and organized professor. His notes are perfect as well as his writing. If you are willing to put in the effort and really try hard to earn a good grade he will help you, otherwise if you don't care, he won't either. Overall, he is very confident, helpful and sarcastic. Good professor.

I enjoyed this professor very much. He is straight to the point, offers help, and is willing to work with you if you show great effort. If someone complains that he doesn't offer guidance it is because they do not make the effort themselves. Tests are challenging but I enjoyed the class none the less.

Good professor. Moved fast, but it was a summer class, so that was a given. Do the homework and come to class and you'll surely pass. Test questions pretty much mimic the homework questions. He calls himself an a**hole, but he isn't. He will help you when you need it.

He is quirky and young so he somewhat keeps the class interesting but at the same time tries to teach concepts that are way beyond what this course is supposed to entail. He is also very intelligent, definitely knows what he's talking about but I think his ego gets in the way of his teaching at times. If you're not good at math, don't take him.

This professor teaches tremendously well. I actually enjoyed his lectures. His notes/handwriting is soo clear and nice. People only write bad things about him because they just want to get an A without working (which is no way of passing). His tests are intermediate not too hard or too easy. His final exam was awesome! Overall he is an amazing prof

GREAT professor in that he is really clear and helpful. He comes off as condescending but is very open to helping. He often offered to come in for office hours on days he had off. I'm not great at math but found this course very comfortable and realized this was honestly my favorite class. Just pay attention, do a little HW/study & you'll be okay!

Extremely helpful and clear as far as the expectations of the class - he has several hours open for extra help and explanation. It was a combo course and I hate math, but I still got an A in the class. Just do the homework, go to class, and make sure if you don't get it to ask a question. The calculator & book are needed & you do actually use both.

AWESOME Professor! VERY knowledgeable, very helpful, and down to earth. He's a no nonsense guy but do the work, aleks pie, and show up and you will pass! Loved him!

You have to work with the professor in order to succeed especially since this is college.Every student must practice the problems as much as they can to get the grade that they want to get. That is what I did and always.He always asked if anyone needed help and encouraged questions to be asked.He is one of the most decent professors at Middlesex.

Expect to work in this class. I took the course as a visiting student from another university and he was better than the professor I had there. He gives extra credit for attendance. Do practice problems from the book and you'll be fine. He's not an easy A, but he's definitely passable if you work and ask questions. Easy on the eyes. He's good!

THE BEST!!!! People just rate low because they DONT like to study but of course you have to study math.....he teaches PERFECTLY AND CLEAR and he's always willing to help you

I hate math, but he acutually explained it well enough for me to understand the subject. I loved his sarcasm and he is such a dork but it's funny. Attend his classes or you miss a lot. He is a fast paced, Has hard tests and expects you to show every little bit of work. But I thought he was cool.

I am def. not a whiz at math but did just FINE in his class. I had to actually pay attention & do HW/study but this is necessary in any class where you're learning new and difficult material. I thought he did a great job. The only people in my class that complained were those who didn't show up or were on their phones 24/7. Vry helpful @ office hrs

Very helpful, offers visits during office hours. Gives advice on geting betr grdes in class. BUT these are FACTS. 1) He teaches fast! (he admtd it hmslf) if ur a slow learner DONT TAKE HIS CLASS. 2) In his attempt to simplify he OVER-COMPLICATES and CONFUSES 3) His tests have problems that require you to combine your knowledge inorder to solve them

He is a great professor, he cares about his students and wants them to do well. If you do not like going to class then do not take him as attendance is highly important. If you do not try then he will get on your case but that shows that he cares. He is very helpful! If you need extra help he has office hours!

Professor knows what he is doing and his subject,but be beware, HE IS VERY FAST. If you like a fast paced class this is for you. If you have a question or don't understand a concept, he will stop and reiterate again, BUT SPEAK UP, or he will move on with the lesson. Very fair grader on exams and likes to give partial credit, overall he is very fair

Professor is very fast. I advise not to skip class because he takes attendance and counts towards your grade. Might come off as cruel but is helpful when you ask for it. If you need a slow paced class, dont take the class.

BEST PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS!!!!! if your horrible in math he will clarify everything for you. he writes a lot of notes but trust me they will save your life when your at home studying. he also adds extra points to your test if you show up to class ( AWESOME!!!!) he can come off as mean sarcastic but our class found him to be hilarious.

Professor Sicilia is a good professor. Very fair grader. Make sure you always come to class because he gives extra credit for attendance. You must speak up or he will move on.

Came into this class hoping to at least pass with a C, and did better than expected. If you're lost speak up or he will fly through the lesson. He writes a lot of notes that are always helpful, be sure to copy down ever word. Attendance saved me. Definitely would take him again without a doubt!!! Highly recommended Professor!

Great professor. Does a pretty good job teaching. He loves Physics so be prepared for him to mention that a bunch. He also gives extra credit which is always nice.

He is fair and he hates cheating. He is very understanding, down to earth and, he is cute. He does give all lot of quizzes but he usually tells you when they are and the two lowest quiz grades are dropped.

Great professor. Approachable and will help you if you seek it out. Homework is optional however gives a quiz every other class. Made math understandable and will explain processes in detail. Can be funny at times and I've never seen him get mad. Would have passed this class if I was a better student. Go to class, study, and you'll do just fine.

Knows more than head of the department does. Can't be more clearer than him. I love Math because of him

I'd definitely take another class with Professor Sicilia. He explains the concepts really well, and he's incredibly helpful (just be sure to speak up if you're confused by something).

Very good teacher. He cares for the student success. He will explain what you do not understand. He gives u credit for attendance, highly recommend him for students because he clears math up. The homework is optional. However, completing the homework is key for success of the class. work hard, give extra time for studying. You will be fine.

good teacher and has funny in class jokes but a really smart guy he definitely knows more than the department combined.

Professor Sicilia is one of the best math teacher I've ever had. He does a fantastic job explaining complicated concepts(Calc). He might appear a bit mean to some people, however in my opinion he is very funny and very intelligent. Also he gives some extra points for attendance. I wish i could take him again!

Explains concepts really well and helps you if you do not understand. Is very accessible outside of class if you need extra help. Test and quizzes are straight forward, If you pay attention and make an effort this class should not be too hard. Great professor, will definitely take him again.

Professor Sicilia is probably one of the most competent math teachers I have ever had. He teaches well and really helps understand the material. If you struggle, he has office hours where he will thoroughly explain what is not understood. Do ALL the work, pay attention and you will do well!

Professor Sicilia made Algebra accessible to me after years of convincing myself that I would never have any success in math. He's no-nonsense, but he's also willing to work with you if there's something you're confused about. I would absolutely take him again, I've NEVER had a more competent math teacher.

This guy is probably one of the best math teachers i've had in a long time. His class is hard don't get me wrong but he knows what he's doing and teaches well. Also gives extra credit for every class period you're there. He's also super sarcastic and sassy as hell. I wish I could take calc 2 with him too

he is a really good professor and teaches very well, if you slack off then he isn't the professor for you.

He is as good as other professors in MCC. Just remind you guys, you can take his class when you have less work to do with your other courses. The reason is you need to spend a lot of time in learning more to get a decent grade on the quiz or test (suppose you are smart in math).

He was the best professor I've ever had. Even though I didn't do well, he taught me many things about Pre Calc. He loves to interact with students by telling jokes and showing tricks to help solve equations. Great teacher and I want to take him again next semester. And by the way, he did tell me so!!!

He is just great!

This professor is very unique. He learned his math well. Registering his class will give you an unforgetting experience. LOL

He likes teaching if he is really not under pressure. Prof. Sicilia likes telling you jokes only if you can really understand it. Don't register too many classes in the same semester We need to give him warmth to tell him he is wonderful. Hahahaha! Register his class. All the professors in the Mathematics Department are wonderful; he is 1 of them.

Bonus!!! To tell you a secret, do online homework in his class and it will let you do great!!!! He is a great guy!!!

Online homework every class with multiple chances to answer. 3 tests (he drops the lowest one) and a final. Pay attention, ask questions. A lot of notes, don't miss class. He's sarcastic, not always a good thing but he's funny sometimes as well. I actually enjoyed the class.

Honestly, I would not judge him entirely depending on the reviews. I read the reviews I was scared that his class is gonna affect my Gpa badly. But I got A+. focus in the class and take notes!! just do HW understnd it and manage to get 80% in the exams and you will be fine. You are a college student nd need to work hard for A dont blame him :)

Professor Sicilia was super helpful and had a lot of office hours to attend. He held review sessions prior to tests which helped a lot. Math isn't my strong suit but he explained things very thoroughly and will explain any questions that you have. Overall the class has a strong trigonometric focus, but is very well explained.

While for personal reasons I will not be continuing college, for those who are, take his course if you need to. Yes, he is lecture-heavy, but if you show effort, he will be nice and help you. He is professional and kind-hearted if you take the time to get to know him. His course is lecture heavy so PAY ATTENTION ASK QUESTIONS AND TAKE NOTES.

While Professor Sicilia is a difficult professor if you go into the class wanting to learn he is a great teacher. He lays everything out and has the notes posted. As far as tests there are three, and he drops the lowest grade of the 3 at the end of the semester. He's flexivbe and will work with you if you need to take the exams at a different time.

This course wasn't absolutely horrible, but it was definitely one of my harder courses. I had a good grade throughout the semester as all assignments were online but beware that the final was IN PERSON. But otherwise a pretty good professor.
