Good teacher... if u study classnotes and do hw u will do well...

Great professor. Extremely knowledgable in topic. He shows great effort to write comprehensive notes on the board. Great demeanor. Works with the student and not against the student.Very generous grader, gives partial credit on exams. Weekly quizzes,mid-term, and final exam, 1 group quiz. Funny & energetic & really cares about his students.

great teacher! I felt that even though I have been out of school for 7 years, I picked up and learned new concepts in his class that will help me moving forward.

Great professor if you like things broken down Barney-style. Excruciating if you prefer a faster pace. Tests are really easy. Very nice and personable. Will definitely take as long as needed to get the concept into everyone's head. I recommend him.

Explains theory and goes over good examples and applications. always helpful and responsive. good review, goes over expectations for exams. somtimes spends alot of time on specific topic ro method.

GREAT professor! Only make sure you do your homework and you will be guaranteed to learn and get something from the class!

Very helpful, very approachable, and does not put you to sleep. A very smart, good guy.

OUtstanding prof. Exams and quizzes track hw and lectures. Assigns a lot of hw but doesnt collect. gave a group quiz! If you have not done hw and sutdied lecture notes tests will be hard for you. If you are current with material you will do well in his class. i advice take him!

very helpful. friendly, great positive attitude. makes class fun. i havent taken a math course in over 8 years, and he made the transition very easy. highly recommended!

quizzes easy. tests hard if haven't dun hw and studied notes/examples. very responsive. gave a group quiz one time and extra cred. works for govt full time, relates real world applications to material; recommend

this professor explains things very well. he is clear and concise and gives alot of examples. if you try, you will do well. studying is needed. quizzes are easy, tests(2) are not. you need to know the material

I took his class during summer--although very fast (what do you expect in a 6-week session?), his instruction was very focused and clear. He answered questions clearly. His tests and quizzes were challenging, but VERY fair. I got it, and trig is not a strength for me. I wish he used calculator support more, though.

I would recommend this professor to anyone. Those who say he "wrote to fast"...or he "didn't make sense"...this is COLLEGE, not preschool. As long as you READ/STUDY the book and do your homework, you should do well in this class. Guaranteed. He definitely has a sense of humor...which makes the class fun!

I took him for MTH166. The class was so hard because the way he teaches i just dont get it. So, i have to spend so much time on my own to teach myself. I failed most of the quizzes and 1 test. He only gives mid-term and final. The class started from 39 and ended up at 13. Guess what?? he still passed me. Because i tried very hard. AWESOME..but hard

This is a 5 credit class, be prepared to do work. He is always willing to help, quizzes and exams are hard, homework is not graded, but I suggest you do it for your sake. Ask questions when you don't understand or else he will keep going. This is college people, can't expect someone to hold your hand all the way through.

yey group quiz tonight!!! thanks prof i really needed that!

Can?t sleep through his class, not HS anymore.Must stay current w/material. Challenging yes,but very helpful. Exams hard,but based on notes/HW. He expects you to work; is serious about you learning. Knows how to work hard/play hard gave 2 group quizs! Class style is witty, very open/interactive, & encourages questions;he is sweet & makes class fun!

you will be happy with this professor he is one of the best all around!

Great Professor! Love to have him in all my classes. He is very helpful, fair to everyone, and I learned alot from his real world experience.

cute, smart n witty. relates math to real life and makes learning fun. wants students to do well, have to work, will always do what he can to help you have to ask tho. rec him.

Impressive speaker. Knowledgeable about a number of subjects in and outside of math. grades fair, but you must work to do well. very nice and wants you to succeed in course and career.

Excellent prof! Writes alot, but explains alot too in detail until everyone gets it. Quiz problems were exact HW problems, midterm exam was easy since I did all the hw. You have to do HW and work a little to do well in his course, its not a free ride! this teacher is nice and helpful and will answer math questions over the weekend!

Great teacher! goes over concepts so everyone gets it. must ask questions or you get too far behind. tests are focused on inclass examples and hw. hw not collected, but you need to do it to pass his class. very responsive and will spend time with you if you ask for help. tests are challending but fair.

He is real nice & understanding professor, wants you to succeed- not easy A but you earn whatever grade you get with him. He allows you to think outside the box. I would take him again. Good professor but just be prepared to do work. He cares for his students and shows them the right direction in life. Take him you'll be glad you did.

I was in the same class w/the bitter person who last posted on 277; the class is what you put into it; get over yourself & do the hw/study/ask questions instead of being a sulky whiner. Prof Paldino is a very helpful, nice guy with a good sense of humor... he wants you to do well, but you have to work hard to learn the material & pass the class!

mensa freak wonder boy prof Paldino computes triple integrals in his head, knows the material, WANTS you to do well. friendly, funny, makes class interesting, expects you to work-only way to fail is to put 0 effort, not studying/doing hw. Subject material is difficult, but prof P makes vector calc understandable; fair grader. VERY GOOD rec him!!!

I don't know what the person below me is talking about. Paldino is a great professor. His lecture notes are great. He moves quickly, but ALWAYS asks if you have questions before moving on. Has never been "sarcastic". I find him to be very helpful. His tests are very tough, but study and do homework and you'll be ok.

This is the truth: The tests do not match the homework. There's never a reason to be cryptic with exam questions but his are cryptic. Don't know how I got a good grade. There are better teachers out there. Take one.

hes very helpful if you take the time to set up appt/meet w/him. its kinda hard to grasp the concepts in class because he speeds through the lesson material. however he makes himself available to meet evenings/weekends to review and answer questions. works for government full time during the day.

This teacher is very knowledgeable and helpful. If you pay attention and take notes, you are almost guaranteed an A. I did not even have the book and I aced this class. He hates rescheduling test though. He also makes several mistakes and I ended up correcting him 2-3 times per class. He is a good teacher but his class is a little boring.

the best professor in NOVA! If you are majoring in math or engineering, you need to take his class! he made me love math ! if you have questions, ask him after class! He always answers ! Cal 2 is not easy. you have to study! quizzes were easy! group quiz, take home quiz. tests are only from hw and notes.

He is one of the coolest Professor in NOVA. He explain concepts explicitly and quiz are similar to the Homework questions. I enjoyed his jokes w/c makes it a fun and an easy one if you do your part!! Do the homework and read the sections before hand and you're good to go. Highly recommended!!!

Prof. Paldino is one of the nicest professor in Nova. He made the class fun and easy class. He sees the efforts that students make and encourage students to participate. It's not an easy class but if you do the homework and read the section before class, you will succeed. I would def. take him again!!!

Take Paldino if you can; he's very intellegent, clear in his lectures, and always willing to answer questions. Funny and relaxed too. He tests what he teaches and grades fairly. Read the textbook and do the homework. Material is hard but paldino helps so much and is crystal clear. Would take him again.

The best professor I've had at NOVA, and I had some good professors during my 8 years at NOVA with 2 associate degrees and several certificates. I had him for Diff Equation and Topics in Differential Equations classes. He is a very dedicated and understanding professor. He even came in on his days off to let me make up for the missed exams.

this guy was a G ! take his class :)

First off, let me say this class is easy. Professor Paldino is very smart and is a great teacher. He explains things very clearly and the quizzes and tests are from the exact material you would expect. Some of the stuff he is able to calculate in his head is ridiculous. One note: He is virtually always late to class!!!! Highly reccomended

He handwrites all the quizzes and tests right before class and takes the questions directly from homework. Homework isn't mandatory, its just for your own help. He's extremely smart and sometimes it's hard to follow along because he moves a little fast with lots of math terms but he's very helpful with questions

He's always late and the structure of his class is pretty unorganized. However, while not an easy class, he is the easiest professor you'll find for an upper level math course.

To be honest. Math is just hard regardless where you take it. I am the worst at math. I had a D the first time I took it with one professor. I sure got an A on this class. Just do homework. He gives evens which the answers are in the back so you will know if your answer is right. Then he uses the homeworks and puts it on the test!

College level math is difficult no matter what, so sorry Paldino you were screwed from the get go! However he is not only helpful but understanding. He has a great sense of humor and I don't think there is one student in the class that does not like him as a teacher. He is very smart and sometimes forgets you may not be, but overall very good!

Took his Vector Calculus course in the summer(6-week class). The homework was not graded or collected. The lecture was not easy to follow. The dim lighting and crowded classroom could be to blame; not the teacher's fault. Got tutoring before each class. I got a D for the course. Repeated the course with a different professor and got an A.

Very cool / nice guy. He does teach fast but is knowledgable and lenient with grading. As long as you try hard and aren't annoying you will do fine.

He seems very nice. Really good sense of humor. I think the class was actually fun. Lots of homework. Its not graded but its to your benefit if you do it. I think he is a very lenient with grading which I appreciated! I took an 8 wk class so he does go fast. He is approachable and will help but i recommend adding Kahn or youtube to supplement!

6 weeks in the summer. Easiest class EVER. To all you slackers like me looking for an easy A, sign up NOW. Test Quizs were exactly the same as the HW. only 6 weeks... SIGN UP.

easiest professor in higher level math course. recommended

nice guy!! take him

Great teacher, I really enjoyed the class, he kept a positive atmosphere during brutally long class sessions. Not too hard, not too easy. His priority is teaching you the essentials in the 6 week course. Cool guy.

He has a sense of humor, is up front about everything, and has an obvious passion for his material.

Be present always. Very cool teacher. Good grader. Do your Homework. Buy the book and the online homework code because you will never know when he gives a quiz, some are open book but that doesn't mean you shouldn't study. I didn't finish my class yet but I will be happy with any grade he gives me. I enjoyed his personality and sense of humour.

I took this class online in an 8 week session. ELI almost runs the instructions and the instructor's just there to answer any questions students come across. I just took my final today. I think I did okay. I should come out with a B average in the class. As far as the instructor, he is easy! I didn't have to put in that much effort in this class.

I took MTH 173 with him and am taking MTH 174 becuase Mr. Paldino is one of the greatest instructors. His character is really interesting and in teaching Math he deserves high recognition. The way he gave the material was very interesting and he was able to make the entire class be highly involved in the discussions. Really cool and funny guy.

I took him for two semesters. 1st time he gave 2 tests and 6 pop-quizzes. The quizzes are basically attendance; they're really easy and he tells you what's on them. The tests were harder, but still stuff we'd done in class. 2nd semester it was just 3 tests; that was the only thing graded. Homework isn't graded and there's a lot, but it's vital.

Took 174 with him. Only 3 tests were graded, no hw no quizzes, although he assigns them. Questions on the tests are not that hard compared to other professors.

Professor Paldino is a great teacher and a profession in his field. The class was difficult, but if you put in the time and effort , getting an A won't be a problem in his class. Take good notes, do the homework, and review his material and you should be fine.

Exceptional Professor! Very passionate about his career. He's sarcastic which made the class lively, and is approachable when you need help. He wants his students to succeed. Take good notes on his lectures. Tells you what will be on exams. He is also a lenient grader. Gives multiple attempts for the online open notes quizzes, which were helpful.

If you're looking to retake a math class or get ahead in your math classes, this is the place you want to be. NVCC's online program is really hit or miss, and Professor Paldino is a homerun. Yes you will need to put in the extra hours to teach yourself, but Paldino is there to help you with any question (even at 3 am). His tests are very fair!

Please do not take this Professor! He does my reply to emails on time, I took an online class, the only job he has to do it reply to a email. Yet it took him 48 hrs to do so, it was also an 8week course so I couldnt wait much. I dropped his class, so glad I did. DO NOT TAKE HIM PLEASE.

He is a very good professor, but it was his first time teaching MTH 154 for a hybrid class. He shows lots of demonstrations for Excel and uses textbook problems to work through. For exams, he discusses his expectations & the exam topics very clearly. He is also very understanding and generous because MyMathLab autograder sucks.

A very generous & understanding professor! Follows the textbook so you know what to expect if you miss class, & you can always email the him for points if you're mistakenly marked wrong by the online homework system. Gave us tons of extensions & retries on the homework & quizzes, & even goes over topics on the midterm & final unlike most professors

Very chill professor. As someone whose weakest subject has been math, he's one of the best teachers I've had for the class. We had a 2 hour block class, but only 1 ever ran that long. He'd let us go after about an hour and stay behind to help anyone who needed it. The online work is tedious and challenging, but not impossible. Highly recommend

The best math Professor I've encountered in a long time! His directions are clear, he is very organized, and his response times are on point. His lectures are meaningful, and most importantly he guides you into understanding math! Do your assignments, attend lecture, and you will be on the right track for an A.

I took MTH154 as an online course with no meetings. He was straight to the point of what needed to be done and when. The projects could have used some more detail description of what needed to be done. For an online course this is a good simple teacher straight to the point. Everything we did was open book.

Great at explaining concepts and briefly reviews highschool concepts before working them into course-level lectures. Loves a tangent. Loves the stock market. Overall very endearing and not a tough grader. Also the final/midterm were like 10 questions each. Very clearly outlines what will be on quizzes and the midterm/final.

The professor had a specific teaching style, but if you engage with it, the class can be worthwhile. unstuckstudy and the free textbook were helpful for study prep. Stay focused and you can do well.
