Good teacher, very helpful if you need him, easy A!

The best lab professor to have for CIS 1055. Lab assignments are easy and if you take time to do the work, you will earn good grades.

very good professor...best lab teacher in cis1055

Best professor I ever had in college.

Great professor, very clear on subject matter, specifically emphasizes what will be on quizzes and exams. Best lab teacher!

He is a nice lab teacher and funny. He is very helpful but at the end he doesn't help out a lot. It's like he is nervous to help out and he is also rude. He does not care to much to help when needed or when student's had questions at the end of the semester.

Took him last semester just to get rid of my science B and got a lot more out of it then expected. Great Lab professor, and lectures could be kindof boring but he never drug them out, more the material was boring. Really nice guy in general and helped students who didn't know anything about computers. Definitely without a doubt recommend takinghim

Surprisngly, I LOVED this class! I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Chris understands that students in the class are not computer geniuses and gives you all of the info you need to do well. Class is not mandatory, so you are not forced to listen to info you already know. Lab (Excel) is a little hard, but I highly recommend this class!

He had big shoes to fill with the tragic passage of Henri Wiesel, the original instructor for the course. He put together all new presentations and materials for the course and really made an effort to provide students with tools and information about .NET web development.

pascucci is awesome. i loved this class. lab is easy, excel gets a bit tough. there were a few ppl who knew nothing about computers & still did well. lectures not required, which is cool because most of the material is very easy. study ppts, which are posted & youll do fine. group projects are fun &he makes class interesting. i would take him again

Very specific grader and allows for no leeway if you dont do everything by the book. Really nice guy, but this class was way more difficult than it needed to be. dont take unless you really need it. the TA was on a power trip and graded everything so harshly.

Chris is an awesome teacher! I had very little interest coming into the class since I am not a computer person. He made the topics very interesting to learn especially to computer illiterates like me. His examples are great and the information he provides is very useful even after the class He is always available to help. Take his class!!!

Great Professor! I hate computers, but he really made the subject and discussions interesting. I learned a lot in this class. Easy A if you go to class, complete assignments and study lecture slides for quizzes. Take this class!!! He is a fair grader and understanding.

This C programming class was required for my major in E.E. I had no interest in learning programming and started off doing terrible. He helped me alot. Any other professor I would have failed the class, but I was able to get a B.

Deffinately take him! I had friends in other sections that were a nightmare. He is by far the best teaching this class. He is easy going, funny, and approachable, too.

Great professor! He actually cares about his students.

Kind of funny, justdo the work and follow directions, try hard, we have some interesting discussions, study the notes you take, attendance isn't mandatory, but you will do much better on quizes

Great professor. Always available for help and most approachable professor I ever had. Quizzes can be tough. Plays games in review that are very helpful, fun, and great way to learn.

He is an alright teacher but totally expects everyone to be a computer expert like he is. Makes you do group projects which are not easy whatsoever, make a website, class presentations,tons of quizzes, tons of assignments. Not an easy class and had to do ALOT of work just to get a B+. Nice guy but gives too much work which only gives you headaches.

He's a fun teacher and it's a pretty easy class. Going to lab pays off and going to class, although not mandatory, can help you boost your grade if you're borderline. He's really easy going and flexible

The class was mandatory for me to take, and I really hate computers but he was one of the nicest, most helpful professors I've ever had. Really easy class, but a decent amount of work. If you want a good grade you have to go to class. However, he makes his lectures fun. I loved him and would absolutely take him again in a heartbeat.

very good professor. He gives alot of work but is always there to help you.You have to do alot of quizzes, a website, group project, wiki, blogs etc. I would take his class again in a heartbeat. It wasnt an easy A but an A nevertheless.

Good class and I changed my major because of it. Everything is posted from PowerPoint lectures to all assignments for those that can read. Quizzes are tough, but going to class helps. If you get a C or below in this class, you don't belong in college.

I actually enjoyed this class. This class made me rethink what i really wanted to major. You'll learn how to create a website, which i thought was really fun. In this class you should really know his pp. exams are based off of his pp. No required text. Hmm ya & quizzes are on every other week.

Great Teacher . he gives work for you to do but if you need help he will give it all you need to do is ask. Just do the work in class and youl be fine

He is passionate about teaching, and truly wants kids to learn the material. He is a little tough, but if you need help he is always there. Email him at 2 am the day a project is due and receive a quick response in helping you resolve whatever issue. He is great. Do the work and see him if any problems happen and you will be fine

Professor Pascucci is a great professor and does a really good job covering the material for this course. It's a lot of material, so be prepared to spend a good amount of time on your projects.

I was always not the best when it came to programming, but taking both semesters with this professor made me a better programer. Still not the best, but he helps and his ppt helps also. He is really tough but also is very helpful if you just ask. Overall go to class and ask for his help and you'll be fine.

Professor Pascucci is a very fair grader. He is always around to help if you are having issues with any of the programming assignments, and for the most part, there is no textbook needed in class. All of his notes are on PPT slides and are very thorough and detailed. As long as you do the work and put effort into it, you will succeed in his class.

Grades fairly, loves to reach. Gives great advice and is always there to help you- just ask!

seems most of the negative comments are from gen ed classes taught. For IST majors, it is a challenging class but if you show up and work hard he is there to help and you will be fine.

Seems like a really nice guy but the Cyberspace & Society course is not one I would recommend taking. Quizzes (four of them) are tough, a lot of other assignments. If you flub the quizzes you probably won't manage an A in the course even if you do everything else. Not worth the time investment for a Gen Ed course.

He's alright. Lots of tedious homework and assignments. All his lecture slides are online which helps a lot. Overall it isn't too hard, and you'll definitely learn some helpful things regarding technology from his class. Biggest pet peeve is that he teaches with his eyes closed, it got a little weird but we didn't judge him too hard for it.

Really nice professor & is more than willing to help students or explain material further. Come to class, take notes, and study and you can pass with a solid B. Couple of projects which are easy & interesting blog assignments. I didn't do well on most quizzes but did really well on the final and passed. I would take him again. No textbook either :)

I took Pascucci's class as a GenEd and he made this GenEd one of the most beneficial and interesting ones yet. He is easy to approach and has a good sense of humor which makes lectures entertaining. He talks about the material with passion. I would definitely take another class with Pascucci

Definitely take this course with Professor Pascucci. The lectures are extremely interesting and if you're in class, you will pass the quizzes. There are no exams in the course, just the quizzes and the cumulative final. Pascucci brings humor to each lecture and you're guaranteed to enjoy the lesson.

I just took this class this semester for one of my genEd requirements. Interesting class, material is easy to understand, and there were no tests. I took 4 quizzes the whole semester, had 1 group project (which was so easy - just have to manage your time well), in the lab there was a website and video project too. No textbook required either!!

He was a really good professor, just make sure you participate and he'll have your back. The assignments aren't hard either. Passed the class with a B- (it was a gen ed, didnt really care too much for it) There were 4 quizes and a final at the end which was accumulative. And you dont need a textbook.

I took him for CIS 3309 and for CIS 3342. This guy will make you for your grade but always tries to make the class more interesting by teaching you something different. He says he loves teaching and I think it shows it when he tries to always help you inside and outside class. Cheating, slacking off, and not submitting work won't make u pass.

This guy is really good and would recommend it for CIS 3309 & 3342. The coding is not that bad if you are good at java, but starting from 2nd half of the semester onwards, it starts to get a bit harder. Quizzes and exams are somewhat challenging. 3rd lab onwards are pretty tough, but the gradings are pretty easy, just put effort. TAKE HIM!

Take him. He is such a nice guy!

I respected this professor. He was a strict teacher. He tried his best to help you if you have problems with this course. If you are looking for an easy class, this is not for you. It is pretty challenging, and it can take a lot of your time if you are not programming very well. If you are an expert, you will be fine as long you won't miss classes.

One of the better CIS professors at Temple. He understands the material really well, has VERY helpful examples and powerpoint slides, and teaches well! He makes a difficult subject easy to learn, although there is a lot of lab homework.

For the most part he's a good professor. Covers concepts well, has decent sense of humor which keeps things from getting too boring. Projects are not super difficult, they just require a lot of time. Start early and just work through them one part at a time. Double check with him or TA for any unclear requirements (my only issue with class)

Pascucci is an amazing teacher who you will learn a ton from. Sure, there will be easier professors teaching the same subject, but you will not learn as much as you will with Pascucci. He has a great examples website which you can use as sample code and work off of for the projects. Take him if you would like to learn!

He's not a bad teacher by any means, but his slides are very broad in terms of teaching coding. They outline basic syntax and then an assignment is given right after which is based on that language but needs knowledge of advanced syntax. I had to do a lot of outside research to learn how to do the labs because his slides don't really help.

I have grown SO much as a programmer this semester. I didn't want to be a developer for a living, now I feel comfortable being a programming role. The labs are, engaging. Some people complain that the labs are too much work. Yes, they are hard, but if you put in the time, you'll get them done. The labs are stuff that is useful in the real world.

He codes in class, which is very helpful in understanding the material. His projects are very interesting and challenging. Even though I had a professional job dealing with client side framework, I found his class a bit challenging. He is the best professor I had at Temple, he loves his job which makes him very respectable.

Gem of a professor for Server Side. His project are tough and takes time, they really are a lot of work. His projects are very practical and a great learning experience. By far the best professor in CIS department. Take him if you want to learn.

Projects take A LOT of time to do, so don't procrastinate. They're not too difficult, just super long and tedious. He answers his emails within the hour which is fantastic. Overall, he cares about his students, but he's no pushover. I learned a lot from taking his two courses (3342 and 3344), and they helped me become a much better programmer.

Awesome professor. Cares a lot about students. You can tell he doesn't teach only for money, he really cares about teaching young programmers the right way. He has common sense unlike many programming professors I've had previously, and is understanding of situations out of your control. His PowerPoints are crucial to taking the tests.

I took CIS3344 in the Spring, his class starts off pretty easy but then after lab 2 it goes down hill. The labs definitely get much harder because there are so many requirements. I would advise you to start his labs early and pay attention in class. Quizzes were not difficult as long as you understand the material you'll be fine.

Pascucci has great intuitive lectures and provides you with more resources than you could possibly need to get the work done without getting stuck. This is a struggle I've had with other IST courses. He also knows how to make his lectures entertaining and intuitive. He claims Temple has Ivy League level professors but it's really just him.

Pascucci gives solid lectures and has amazing sample code on his site that help with his assignments. Sometimes his assignment criteria isn't super clear to understand so be sure to ask him questions for clarification. Projects have a lot of components to them but if you follow his ppt and examples, you'll be fine. Always start early on them

Good and fair professor. The class only contains projects and quizzes. Pretty straightforward and to the point.

The projects take a long time to complete and have a lot of components/requirements, but it gives good experience for real production applications. He gives extensions. The quizzes are pretty easy and the final is all multiple choice & true/false. Take him if you want an easy time in capstone 2. Very helpful and understanding during office hours.

If you show up to class, you will pass. Lecture can have you checking the clock but pay attention he gives you everything you need. Extensions were clutch because he doesn't count weekends as late days. The end of term group project can make or break your final grade so get your stuff together early. Don't fold if you fall behind.

One of the few professors in CS that doesnt absolutely suck. good pacing. 1 group project, 3 tests, 6 labs For the first test its going to be coding problems (make a function that can bubble sort an array) AND multiple choice questions, read the textbook Second is just making a program. If your good under time your gonna do fine.

The class is hard, no doubt about it. But it's certainly not impossible. You have to be willing to spend a lot of time on labs, which is expected because he gives you at least two weeks per lab. Overall, you'll be fine as long as you put in the work.

Very good Professor

You'll hear a lot about component-based being hard and server-side being even harder. The best advice is to attend every lecture (don't be late or will get a tardy ), pay attention, review the slides, read the recommended material, and do the labs using what's taught, not ChatGPT. Work with integrity, and you'll pass. He is always willing to help!

This class was the most amount of work I had ever done at temple and there was only 3 projects, a midterm and final exam. If you give yourself time and use the class examples you will pass the class. If you show up late, and don't put all your effort in then you will either fail or barely pass. Go to office hours, show you care, and you will pass.
