A great person and a great teacher! He is very clear and very kind. A fair teacher who is willing to give you and A if you are willing to give him 100% of your effort.

He has got to be the best math professor I've ever had. Clear and concise.

Best Math Class and Math Prof ever.

Great teacher, spells everything thing out

This class was the best out of all the Math classes I've taken at Bryant, and even more so considering it's also the ONLY 8:00 class I've ever taken at Bryant.

Professor Piascik is a good teacher because he explains concepts very well and is always available if you need extra help. Attendance counts and if you do bad on quizzes they don't count.

Makes business applied calculus understandable

Wrote the book, enough said.

This guy made calc easy. He is a genius, so pay attention to him and you'll do well. I got an A, with normal study time. Ok...

He explains things logically and clearly. Great teacher.

Kinda boring but knows his $#!*, just don't take him in the morning or you'll fall asleep otherwise a pretty good teacher.

Great instructor. I learnt a lot from his course. He made me love algebra and calculus. I recommend him to everyone.

Explains very clearly. Always available for extra help. Never any suprises on test. Homework is optional but for your benefit. As long as you study your straight.

Great guy....I have taken him for 3 semesters....Gives you clear notes and nothing on his tests are a surprise....Quizzes only count as bonuses....he only teachers early morning classes but if you dont mind waking up you should take him

Great Teacher! I took him again for this course and I am so glad that I did.

Great teacher. Explains things really well.

Took math105 with a different professor, then took piascik for stats ... will not take another math class unless piascik is teaching it ...

great class if you're bad at math-he explains things really slow and goes over everything twice. doesn't check homework and your grade is based on 3 exams and the final & he gives out optional quizzes which boost your grade.

No way would have done math in bryant without him. he is the man

this man wrote the book, the whole book and its not the only math book he has written.....this guy knows his S#%*!!!

He wrote the book..need i say more! The man explains math as if you were 5!...and it WORKS!

Little boring, but overall a great professor. Very clear and knowledgable - tests are more than fair.

best professor on campus, this guy works so hard for his students, and i agree with him, if you just meet him half way by doing homework and studying theres no reason why you cant get a good grade

My man Chester Piascik. He is the best professor at this school. He explains the topics very well. Homeworks are not collected but are good for practice. Piascik is God.

He knows his stuff, but his tests are LONG! Minitab assignments do bring up your grade, so I would take him again.

says funny random stuff like "east cupcake" and "its like shooting an elephant with a pellent gun" and laughs at himself. explains things good but exams are different then expected. good guy overall.. you'll laugh

CHESTER! what an incredible teacher, explains in extreme detail, laughs at his own little remarks, and is probably the best professor i will ever have, tests and quizzes are easy, just do your homework

Great professor! Explains everything pretty well! However tests are hard and long. If you do the hw and pay attention in class, it's an easy B!

Chester is the man. If you don't catch on to math very easily, he's the guy to take. While things can get slow, he's entertaining to listen to and you'll get the material. Random extra credit quizzes, 3 long tests and an even longer "semi-cumulative" final

Greatest teacher alive... class can get boring at times but its totally worth it because he's a great teacher and explains everything in detail and will answer any questions you have.. TAKE HIM!

had him at 8am and it sucked..well the time...but after i had another math prof. i realized how good chester was...hes the man yo

holy sh** i would take a bullet for this man in heart and as i was bleeding to death, i would just constantly scream Chester! till i was dead

Very Clear

He is THE MASTER. Dont worry if you suck at math, after he was done with me I have some skills! He can teach it to you but material is hard.

Much more difficult than the prerequisites, but he was still very clear. I would not take any other math professor. He has a plan on what you need to know and he sticks to it. Does not want to fail anyone and is willing to help you along. You will be there for the entire class and there is always a lot of homework It is all relevant th though.

He's a great teacher. Very thorough. Takes him a full class to explain one concept. Bombed my first test, but aced the next two. Show that you care about the class and he'll give you a good grade. He's the man!

Oh Chester!

eneded up with b b+ and cant complain cuz with out him would have been 3x F

great teacher. wants everyone to do well. has a set plan for what he wants to do and stick exactly to it. extrmemely fair teacher. i won't take anyone for math other than chester.

His examples are through yet simple so they wont trip you up. He does everything he can to help you out on the exams and any homework he collects is purely extra credit. He also upps your grade at the end of the semester if you have shown effort throughout the semester.

I made it through the required math at Bryant because of this man; an absolute genius when it comes to teaching. He only does morning classes, but it is absolutely worth it if you are not good at math - this man will get you through it. One of Bryant's best.

Great professor. Not extremely personable, but does everything to make sure you know the material. Would definitely recommend taking him.

What a great prof! so excited about the topic and patient. Highly recommend.

The best there is...end of story

Very clear. Show up to class and you will understand everything. Very very good, take him whether you are bad at math or good. I cant say enough about how clear he makes everything.

An overall nice guy. his tests are relatively easy if you study. makes himself available whenever you need extra help.

I was horrible at math, but had to take STATSII for my major, great and understanded everything. I decided to double minor in stats because he made it so interesting.

very clear with the material overall great, easily-understandable professor tests are difficult to some extent but he is always willing to help you with material you dont understand

He is awesome. As long as you go to class and pay attention you'll do fine. He offers extra credit, and gives crystal clear notes.

Chester is the man! He is very clear on topics covered and goes over them thoroughly. He is always willing to answer any questions on the optional homework. Gives optional bonuses that get averaged and added onto your FINAL AVERAGE. Highly recommend him, second time I took him. Just do the hw at some point before the exam and do ALL optional bonus.

This guy is one of the better math teachers I have ever had. He made it easy, I'm just a slacker and didn't study. Just study for an hour before each exam and you breeze through. O yeah and there are just 4 exams that determine your grade which is pretty sick. Extra credit is pretty easy too! Do it!

very smart professor. he knows what he's talking about. If you take good notes and pay attention in class, you'll do well.

The exams are really long, but not hard. He gives a lot of extra credit, and he is really understanding. Overall, a great teacher.

good class if you're lazy. explains really well and gives detailled notes. easy extra credit. i'd take him again

Chester is an awesome teacher! He's east to understand, and explains everything. I suggest everyone take him. You don't have to do your (optional) homework until right before the test, and he gives a LOT of extra credit!

Piascik is a pretty good teacher. He gives very detailed notes. The tests are long and you do not need to do the homework. The class is pretty easy.

Took Chester's class 25 years ago and found these ratings when looking for my college age son ... Chester was the best teacher I ever had. Was math Phobic until I took 1st class with him but ended up taking every Math class he taught as open electives. Still have my calculus notebook ! He made teaching math an art form. will never forget him.

Great teacher. extremely helpful and makes sure you understand the material. He really is a great guy overall.Very very nice. Recommended

got to be honest. actuarial major, 4.0 gpa in major, 3.61 gpa overall, never got below an A in a math course at bryant, here or before here, took Exam P, passed it my first try, HIGHER than the minimum 6 for passing, have piascik now for actuarial stats III, i hav a B in his class, B+ with bonus. gotta b honest, i have a tough time with his tests

Chester is the man. i took him for 105 106 and stats and got A's in all 3 classes....show up, take notes, and do the hw (5-10 min a night) and get a A.....easily the best math teacher in this history of math....the man period

Chester's my boy! Easy class. Take notes and do the homework if you want. Unique mix of a really easy math class and stuff you actually remember. Bummed out when I could'nt even get this guy at 8 o'clock. Would have definitely woke up in the morning for that class.

Chester is the cutest little old man I have ever met. Really cares and will try to help every student. Tells everyone who asks a question that it was a "great question". Go to class, take notes, do homework problems and it will be a piece of cake.

Hands down the cutest old man in all of Bryant. His class is really easy as long as your don't fall behind. The homework is basically optional for math 105. His tests aren't hard and he also has bonus quizzes! Try and stay away from the 8ams since those can get a little boring.

best math grade ive ever gotten. He's really nice and is always willing to answer and questions. You only need to do the HW if you dont fully understand what you learned. The tests are long but he omits half the questions.

Best math teacher ever. He is extremely nice, cares about all his students and is crystal clear when explaining the material. I never did the homework and still got an A-. Definitely take him!!!

He is by far the best math teacher at the school. Trust me I dropped math 4 times before pulling out a B freaking plus in calc 2. He is everything what a professor should be. Clear lectures, helpful in and out of class and utilizes fair hw and exams. He is so nice and humble that you should feel bad for missing/skipping his classes.

the best math teacher at bryant! nicest professor you will ever meet. cares about his students...he's a must take!

This is the best math professor at Bryant. He's the nicest guy I know and isn't tough at all. His teaching is great and crystal clear. I feel badly about showing up to class late every day, but he never said a word or punished me. He's a great guy. 3 years later I'm writing this review and I can still say he's one of the best I've had.

GREAT PROFESSOR! Teaches math the way it should be taught! Takes complicated material and makes it easy to comprehend. He also tries to give you extra points and easy questions so you do well. One of the best professors I have had!

Best math teacher I've ever had. I specifically requested him for every math I needed to take. Doesn't move on until you understand and always explains clearly. Tells you why/where you can use what you're learning! Cute old man, corny jokes, wish I could take him home with me!

Also had him for Stats. Great professor, especially if you're not the best at math. Deff take.

Simply put the best professor EVER!!!! So kind and it is obvious he loves teaching. He always encourages questions and answers them in a clear and courteous manner. Gives real world examples and makes this VERY difficult subject almost easy. Did I mention BEST professor EVER!!!!!

Crystal clear...tests are kind of hard because they are long. He throws in some weird questions that we've never gone over but he wants to see if you understand the concept as a whole! Otherwise, great guy!

Professor Piascik is definitely the best math professor I have ever had. He explains everything so well and makes sure you understand examples. If I could take him for every math class, I would. He's a very nice man in general and loves to help his students.

EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! TAKE HIM! Math is my weak area and he is the best math prof. I have had. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently clear. Fair grader. If you struggle with math def. take him. Explains everything perfectly. No book for this course, he provides you with all hw, and only tests on what he lectures. Show up, take notes!

Chester is a cute old man. He is literally the best math teacher I ever had. He explains everything so clearly and his tests are so easy. Homework is optional, but I recommend doing it to just reinforce the concept.

You have to attend class, because there is no book! Gives out a ton of handouts. Tests are LONG, not hard. He will end up scaling every test because everyone fails because you have 50 minutes to complete a 1.5 hour test. He will answer every question and encourages questions. Great professor. Would love to take him again and you learn!

One of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of having. He explains everything very thoroughly, and always welcomes questions. He is always willing to provide extra help. For the first time in my life, I understood math, and felt confident in my abilities. Take his class, you won't regret it.

His class is great only thing graded is 4 exams that are never really that bad. He also lets you bring a cheat sheet with notes on it so if you go to class and study a little bit you should get an A.

I took several courses Chet offered including Calculus and Statistics back on the late '70s and early '80s. He was extremely thorough, caring and used a building block process to build on what you know. I graduated 38 years ago and Chet was one of best of Bryant professors I had, who remained on the top of my list two generations later!
