If there was such a thing as a bad arse ****. It would be her. She is a good teacher, but man, never met a person like that in my life. Not a bad thing though.
She thinks she's funny and can be sarcastic but she's a nice lady, esp. if you have good attendance. Easy class & she is VERY helpful if you ask.
Tons of homework, but if you do it you will do great in the class. She gives detailed notes, jokes around in class, and will help you if she knows you are trying. Out of all the classes I have taken so far, I have learned the most in hers'.
She is really really nice, and extremely helpful if you're bad at math (like me). She loves good attendence and participation. Deffinately a good teacher!
I thought she was always there to help. She was very hard and I changed my major from Math to Elem. Ed. after her class.
probably the meanest techer i has in all 4 years of college. her class reminded me of highschool, she would yell at u if u went to the bathroom....but i did learn something
Worst teacher in my life. She made middle school seem like a beacon for freedom. Her methods were off the wall, she was not very helpful and did not treat people with respect. Why is she still there?

she scares you at first, but she is one of the best professors ever. if you just take notes and pay attention you can get an A. explains everything, tells u exactly what will be on the tests.
I learned so much in this class, she is a great math teacher, gives great notes and is very clear. She is an awesome teacher i would take a class from her again. This class is A LOT of work though, then again...it is statistics!
Likes to kill snakes that invade her garage...wacko? oh yes...wacko indeed.
I'd make out with her...
She is the worst teacher I have ever had. EVER. Do not take her. I am dropping the class and it is too late to take another or get my money back. I am only taking 12 credits and I would rather do that and lose money than take her god forsaken class.
Pretty boring, you'll spend most of your class time listening to her lecture and taking notes.

I learned so much about teaching from her. Videotaping and critiquing our lessons was difficult, but I got a lot out of it.
The worst teacher. She is a horrible human being. Her class reminds me of high school and she doesn't let you leave to go to the bathroom. I hate her and she should not be allowed to teach. DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HER.
did not care that i didn't understand the material...i needed help but and she told me to cut down on work hours at my job and study more...unless you are very good at math she will only confuse you...NEVER TAKE THIS CLASS EVER!!!
Stop ****ing,she is a good teacher. She tries very hard for her students and if you don't get a good grade in her class its your own fault. She lays out everything that is going to be on her tests and quizzes and gives extensive homework sheets. Very Fair
she tries for her students??? really? wow she sure could have fooled me! yeah her homeworks are detailed, but that still doesn't stop her from being a bad professor.
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN THIS CLASS. DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE!
Attempts to help but is never clear. The class is boring and long. Doesn't check homework but tests are hard.
she has made me hate math, which i used to like, she is rude/mean to students and can not explain anything she is trying to teach. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES

3 words: MISERABLE-OLD-WOMAN. Doesn't seem to enjoy her job and takes it out on students. Low level classes are a challenge with her, considering switching majors or professors.
Vertullo is the ONLY teacher in my life who made me feel stupid. I did my work and got fairly decent grades in her class. There wasn't a moment the whole semester that I felt that she cared about any of her students in that class.
cranky and bitter...hates the world and you
i hated this woman, never take any of her classes she is bitter and old and is the worst professor i've ever had. hates all her students and does not know how to teach. does problems and gets them wrong herself. If all teachers were like this no one would go to school. bitter-old-woman is right!

These people are crazy. Vertullo is extremely nice and extremely helpful. If you do the detailed homeworks class is easy. She keeps class interesting by letting you talk in groups all the time. She is a clear grader and explains exactly what will be on tests. Easy class, I recommend it.
I love this teacher! She explains everything clearly. This class goes by the fastest for me. She tells you exactly whats going to be on the test and allows you to work in groups. She even shows ma gic tricks involving math. She makes class fun
You're in college to learn so stop complaining. Vertullo is a very thoughtful professor. She explains everything thoroughly and doesn't move on unless everybody understands the material. Collects HW occasionally. Helpful reviews before tests. Great lady!
Very nice lady, but she talks to her class like their 5 years old. She's very helpful and tests are easy.
She's nice and fair when it comes to grading. Heavy workload, many quizes, 3 tests and a final. Study and keep up with homework and u will do well.
She is awesome! The best math teacher I ever had. If you do the homeworks you will be prepared for everything. Quizzes help to bump up your grade. She's always there to help and explains well. I definitely recommend her, if you get a 95 in the class, you dont have to take the final.
She picks on you and makes fun of you if your not on her good side. Course is a little hard but if you understand the concepts and do the homework you will do fine!
she is scaracastic woman and makes fun of her students occasionally. she is very helpful and always gives her hours. she gives a lot of hw that she does not check but it's in your best intrest to do it. 3 tests and a final and the final can be used to replace your lowest test grade.she gives a lot of notes which is good and does not use powerpoint.
Maybe I had an undiscovered gift for stats (highly doubtful!), but she made it really easy. Extremely clear in her notes, tells corny stats jokes when class is lame. If you have a 96 avg. you don't have to take the final. Lets you use a formula sheet for everything. Easy class
Great class, exempt from final if average is over 96. Lots of notes and hw sheets, but easy tests if you do the hw. Somewhat strict professor but great teacher.
She is a horrible teacher. Topics are boring and confusing, unwilling to help. Holds you in class for every last minute, most of the time past the allotted time. Put met to sleep every class. Advisors even recommend a different teacher. Do not choose her. HORRID.
HORRIBILE! Don't take her on any occasion, any class whatsoever. She is a horribile teacher and an even more horribile carbon based life form. She disrespects people if they dont know something, teaches a mile a minute, doesnt stop for questions, but basically tells you how to fill out teacher evaluations so she still has a job!
SO mean. Won't let you go to the bathroom during class even if you are about to pee on your chair. Her voice is so annoying and embarrasses you if you have a question. Accuses you of not working if you are sitting there writing in your notebook. She must be on crack. She says "talk to the neighborhood." and everyone just stares at each other.
awful...really no other way to describe it
Absolutely miserable human being. Quite possible the worst class experience of my life. Her poor attitude did not make the subject matter any easier Like a traffic jam, avoid her at all costs. This could be the best advice you'll ever recieve.
Vertullo is one of the nastiest people I've ever met. Wants to embarass you and gets angry if you don't laugh at her occasional and unfunny "jokes". You are usually too afraid to laugh. Don't take her unless you want to be miserable like her.
[STAT] Don't be afraid to take her after seeing all these comments-- I was terrified too. She does take points off quizzes and tests for silly things, which is annoying. She does, however, drop a quiz grade or too, making it easier for you to do well-- not every professor does that.
Vertullo is not the best teacher in the world. She doesn't allow time in class for questions and I would usually leave class very confused. Her tests aren't too challenging if you keep up with all of the work. Ultimately, you have to go to her office hours in order to understand the topic.
When i saw this page, i was seriously afraid to go into her class because everyone said she was horrible. But seriously. she's one of the better professors I had at Marist College. She's really helpful and she really wants you to learn. Just pay attention, take notes, do your homework, and youre guaranteed a LEAST a B. Grow up people: Its COLLEGE!
When i read this page, i was afraid to take her but i took her anyway and im glad i did. shes really nice and wants to help you. offers exemption from the final but its pretty tough to get. alot of homework but who doesnt get that in college. has these funny little jokes and shes really nice. if u do ur work you should be able to get a B minimum.
She's pretty cool and very clear with her teaching methods. I missed a few weeks of school sick and she helped me get up to speed when I came back. The material is hard but she's worth taking.
Professor Vertullo has a very dry personality. She comes off as cranky pretty frequently, but she knows this. She offers lots of resources to help her students, and the over all structure of the class is beneficial to the students actual comprehension of the topics. 2 tests, 4 quizzes. Do the homework. Can be exempt from final.
Professor Vertullo certainly knows what she's doing, but at the same time she's not very enthusiastic and the class is pretty boring. She will make every effort however to ensure you get the material. Ask questions if you need to! She grades very fairly, drops 2 quizzes and will exempt you from the final if you have an A or average on tests.
class is boring as hell and she gives way too much homework. you work alot in groups which isn't bad and there is 5 quizzes and 4 tests. if you do well, you dont have to take the final, but thats nearly impossible. you do learn if you pay attention. she likes to pick on students who dont seem to be paying attention. dont take her if you can avoid.
Such an angry, rude, condescending woman. If you like being ridiculed while doing math, take her, be my guest. She is angry at someone or something. The work isn't difficult though. She just makes me hate math even more.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT TAKE HER! She is a miserable person. Her grading is unfair. She has the class teach more then herself. She gives you an attitude if you don't understand her. She doesn't care if you pass the class. Going to her office hours are unless. Honestly whatever you do PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER. YOU WILL BE UNHAPPY!
Perhaps Vertullo should consider retiring?! So many roomates of my had her and came very close to failing.
She teaches at a good pace and her tests are fair. She literally has OCD though. She also made me feel dumb whenever I asked a question because I didn't understand.. Like she expects a lot. But it was moderate, not hard but not easy. You get homework every night but she doesn't check it, it's just to help you be prepared for the class
Very sweet woman, very good teacher, explains everything until everyone understands, reviews material frequently, lots of group work, lots of quizzes and a few tests. Long hw assignments from textbook but she doesn't check them. There are a few hand ins but she'll let you know what they are. I recommend. No need to buy solution manual.
Best math class I've ever had and I suck at math. It wasn't necessarily easy and it was a lot of work, but if you pay attention and do the work you will understand it. Homework doesn't get checked but I would do it because it helped me understand. She's really funny too and I loved her. Great class.
I wouldn't recommend her she isn't bad and the class is very easy, but if you want to get full credit on your tests when you understand the problems and get the right answer this prof not for you. She takes off a lot of points for stupid reasons and it is annoyingI had a better average in harder math classes when I understood less of the material.
I think that the class was fair-not easy, not hard. Takes off stupid points on tests, but she teaches the material very well so it is not hard to understand. I'd try to find an easier teacher, but she's not horrible.
Professor Vertullo explained everything clearly. This class had a rather slow pace, which is different than most math classes. Some stuff we learned was very practical. She has a unique sense of humor. If you do your work like you're supposed to, she will like you.
Vertullo was a very straight forward teacher, however her class was difficult and not easy to keep up with. Deff go in for extra help ALOT! or else she wont give you the time of day or learn your name!
Very dry but straightforward class. If you do your homework and study for the quizzes and tests you will do fine. Although she means well, sometimes she has a patronizing way of answering your questions.
Why are people saying she's nice?! She's awful! I missed one class and was confused the rest of the year. She speeds through material and is very rude. I was afraid to ask questions because of her insulting attitude towards students. I was going to the bathroom once and she said "why don't you take your books with you?" I almost cried. Do not take.
I usually struggle with math, but did very well in this class. Prof. Vertullo writes out all her notes during class and gives helpful examples. DO THE HOMEWORK!!! Test/quiz problems almost identical to them. Get the solutions manual too, helped me a lot (she recommends it too). Vertullo is kind of dry/abrasive, but teaches well. I recommend her.
She is such a tough grader... She thinks she is the smartest person ever and disrespects students.
She is rude to her students. No help at all I did better teaching my self avoid at all costs.
Prof. Vertullo is a very hard professor while also being very good at teaching her students the Statistics material. She is dry, sarcastic and gets angry when a student asks a bad question. DO THE HW! She will make you ask questions in class. 8 quizzes, 3 tests and 1 final per semester. Quizzes and tests are extremely hard so study!
She puts students down and does not help when people are confused. Rather than clarifying something she makes fun of other students for not understanding. Do not take her unless you have thick skin and love math.
the best teacher i ever had, recommend. She makes you work for it. ask questions even if she makes you feel stupid.
She is honestly one of the meanest teachers I have ever had. She puts students down for asking questions and speeds through the material very quickly. She takes off a lot of points of questions on quiz' and exams that are right. The material is not hard, it's just she doesn't know how to teach it properly. Avoid having her as a teacher.
Vertullo was one the hardest teachers and taught one of the hardest class I have ever taken. By about week three, half of the class withdrew. Doesn't answer your questions, which in her mind is helping you. 5 quizzes (you can drop one quiz except the first), 2 tests, and 1 final test. Very, very difficult class. Would not recommend.
She is hands-down, the best math teacher I have ever had. It seems to me that the other ratings on here are low because she runs a tight ship and the class is not easy, but as a student who is very hard-working and actually WANTS to learn things, I think she is BRILLIANT at what she does. Take her ESPECIALLY if you struggle with math.
Although she has a dry sense of humor and can come off as being annoyed with everything, she goes through each lesson very clearly and gives lots of practice. She explains clearly all of the topics and emphasizes what she will be quizzing/testing you on. Practice questions are almost identical to quiz/test questions. Very good professor.
Chris Vertullo is a really good teacher. She assigns homework but she doesn't check it and tells you that you don't have to do it if you don't want to. Also if you have a 96 average in the class, she lets you test out of the final with an A in the course. Would take her again
She is the worst teacher ive had in all of my HS and college years. Usually i blame myself if I dont understand the material but I feel like this time it was on her. Would never take her class again, and I advise against it if you struggle with math.
Worst professor I ever had during my 4 years. Do not take her class. She is a harsh grader, is very rude, and goes through the materials too fast.
Very rude, won't answer questions if you are confused, very judge-y.
Horrible. She goes through the material way too fast. She puts you down if you don't understand a question and embarrasses you in class all the time. Calls on you even if you did not raise your hand. Very sarcastic with her answers, not in a funny way. Does not completely answer your questions so you feel unsatisfied with her response. Awful.
So I actually did well in this class, however, I realize that she does definitely end people's careers if they come unprepared. Sarcastic, which I kind of enjoyed, but I know that turns some people off. Honestly she doesn't check homework and as long as you study the textbook and pay attention you should do fine.
HARDEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD.
Worst professor I've ever had the displeasure of having. In the beginning she seemed okay, but the ugly truth had yet to show itself. She was rude, sarcastic, and just straight up mean. She made students feel stupid for asking questions, and then berated you when you got something wrong. I would sooner take 5 8 ams than her class again.
Very tough class. So much is covered in every class. Going to office hours will not help. I basically had to teach myself the material.
Professor Vertullo is one of those very rare professors. People on here make her out to be the devil - but she really cares about her students. I have never once been embarrassed by her in class. If you think her sarcasm is offensive then you need to grow up and take it with a grain of salt. She is a great teacher and you really learn. Take her.
By far the worst teacher I have ever had. She does not teach and she is super critical and will take points off for the smallest things. She is mean to students especially when they ask questions. She seems to revel in giving low marks and makes getting an A impossible. DO NOT TAKE.
She was the worst professor ever. If you asked questions, she would point you out & make you feel embarrassed. She was incredibly rude. I went to her office hours for help, which didn't help because she would yell at me. One time she said to me "you don't deserve to pass if you don't understand this" But took stats in HS, passed with an A.
I was surprised to see all the bad reviews on here. She assigns a lot of homework, but if you actually do ALL of it, you will be fine. Do every single question she assigns and actually put effort into the class. Her sense of humor is very dry but if you are engaged during class and, once again, do all of your work, you'll be fine. She wasn't hard.
I miss Chris Vertullo, she was one of my all time favorite professors. She was so funny and I loved every class. I'm sad that I'll never get to take her class again. Rest in Peace Chris, I know she's in a better place now and she will be missed.
