His great smile makes it hard for me to pay attention.

I Love Mr. Ruffatto.

a nice teacher, he is good.

David Ruffatto is a tough but fair teacher. He expects you to be prepared for class. Slackers need not apply. If you do the work, you will get a fair grade. I learn a lot in his class. He is also young and cute.

very good teacher. he answers any questions u have and explains it if u dont get it. thumbs up!

Very hard class for a 0-level, but I took it online and Ruffatto was very helpful and understanding. If you do all the work and really put forth the effort you'll make it through!

Really hard class, I took it online. He is helpful, but it is better to take it on campus. Gives extra credits and extra points. Cool teacher, not cool class

He does a nice job. I would definiately take him again. Get all the X-tra credit in the math center. I had a could issues, and he was very fair.

If you want to have a sexy ass math teacher then take him. He is very good looking!

His class is very well set up, he is clear and communicates lessons really well. You do not need to read the book but it will help. He gives extra credit, and the practice exams look A LOT like the exams. Good teacher, take him.

Very helpful teacher. I was nervous about a math online course, but he was very helpful!!!!!!

He is a very good teacher. I'm not great in Math and he is very helpful. He gives extra credit for hours spent in the Math lab. Unlike other math classes there are points beside tests which are helpful.

He is a really great teacher. I am taking 094 online and I OFTEN go in during his office hours for help. He wants you to succeed and is willing to help! go with Ruffato!

Had Mr. Ruffatto for 095 online class. A LOT OF WORK. However, he gives clear guidelines and is great to work with. Great communication. I did have the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times in his office and he was extremely nice anc sincere about helping each student. Would take him for a future math course. I suggest you do as well!

Took Ruffatto's class online and I liked it. If you do the work you will pass but watch the deadline dates. We were able to use notes during tests and he was really quick about getting back to emails. One of the best things about him was his willingness to help! Do the work and you will pass his class.

I am in Math 094 online and it is simpe. I had three weeks to get my work done and entire week to take the test. I was even able to take the quiz more than once to get a better grade.

I am in Cal with ruffato and it is fine. Tests are hard if you do not do all the book work and get tutoring.

Ruffatto is a great teacher. If you do the work you will have no problem getting a good grade. Also very easy to get extra credit. I'd take his class again.

If you do the work you'll be fine. HE makes himself available before and after class to help you if you get stuck. He teaches things by doing them and correcting his mistakes and it can be very hard to follow.

Great teacher. Explains things clearly and understandably. Does tons of examples and constantly asks if there are questions before he moves on. Prepairs you well for each test and is a fair grader. He is very energetic and funny. Would recommend him to everyone. Great teacher!

This man is the reason I am a math major. Took him my first year for Trig and now I'm looking for PhD programs in math. If you're lazy and dumb don't take him otherwise I highly recommend him.

Took his class online over the summer. Great teacher! Super easy to pass. The study guide contains the same problems as the test just different numbers. Was allowed to use a whole sheet of paper of notes on exams! Super easy and really nice!!!

I found he is an okay teacher. His method of teaching is by writing down the steps in his mind which can sometimes be a little confusing. Overall easy class if you do the homework and ask questions.

Amazing teacher. Great experience. Calc is not easy but he made it fun and understandable. He really likes the subject and totally gets into it. Love it! Great teacher! Great class! Take Ruffatto.

I took Ruffatto over the summer and all I have to say is that he is very fair. Do the homework and turn everything in on time you will be fine!! ALOT of studying considering its online but I find it easier to teach myself than to be taught. Take him you won't regret it!! :)

I took Ruffatto for both calc 1 and calc 2. He is phenomenal. You will work your butt off for an A but calculus is a hard subject so don't expect anything else. He did take a very long time to give our test grades back but he gives partial credit so I'm not complaining! Take Ruffatto. You will not regret it!

Ruffato is a great teacher who is willing to help you if you need it. I never sat through a math class that was so interesting that the time flew by like this one. He always has a math workshop before class, go to class and his workshop, and you should do okay. He is a very easy grader as well. He won't mark you down for silly algebra mistakes.

Just finished calc 1 and he definitely helped me through. Going back to college after 10 years and having to jump into calc 1 was not easy. YOU HAVE TO STUDY LIKE CRAZY FOR AN A. He's a little absent minded sometimes but calculus ISN'T easy. Go to his workshops and do a lot of problems out of the book and you'll pass easily.

Great guy, willing to help and cares about his students passing and very understanding. Do the assignments, he allows a formula sheet every test which helps a lot!!

Knows his material. A bit different to understand at times, but he is certainly knowledgeable. Prepare to work for an A if you take his class.

Very knowledgeable but lacks people skills. Sometimes goes a bit too fast for people to keep up but if you do the homework and get tutoring you should pass. I spent 3+ each week in the tutoring center. The material is pretty difficult so don't expect an easy A or even B, but he does a good job explaining all the why's and how's.

Calculus is not easy. With that being said Prof. Ruffatto is a great teacher. He is there to answer all of your questions and I feel really does care. Your grade is solely based on the tests with a little bit of homework. Do problems out of the book, use youtube for extra help, and attend class. If these three are done you will be fine!

Ruffatto is a bit unorganized, but he tries his best to help you pass the class. He runs a workshop the 3 hours before class, and its helpful. Calculus is a VERY tough class, it's going to be rough. Ruffatto is lenient on homework, but his tests can be hard. He doesn't curve, but he will give hints on tests sometimes.

Professor Ruffatto is a very helpful guy. He tries his best to make sure his students are getting the material. For the first month, we reviewed and he gave out many practice tests. But as a student you have to be willing to put in the work, Ruffatto will not spoon feed you, you have do want to do the work yourself.

If you asked me a month ago i will say no. KEEP UP with my math lab (He can also extend the dates if the class is behind or necessary), ask questions IN CLASS. He let's you make up and and homework and he is very flexible. *in short* Take him,don't be too quick to drop, he understands, talk to him, learn outside of class and ask questions

Easiest math class ever taken!!! He is very cool and halarious. He will help you catch up on anything you have missed. If you do the study guides you basically will pass the tests with an A or B. Also gives you hints during the test.

Took class online turning Covid-19. Taking math classes online is pretty hard. As long as you do good on the homework you should pass the class because the homework is worth a ton of points. Based on that alone I would definitely recommend taking his class. After you take a test make sure you email him and ask him to grade your work for full credit

Professor ruffatto was probably my most favorite teacher I've had since 8th grade. I took my first calculus class with him and he offered so much of his time and effort to help you. Take advantage of his office hours and god, DO THE HOMEWORK/PRACTICE it helps immensely and he literally gives you the answer and wants you to work to it. Amazing prof

if you throw yourself in the tutoring center and his office hours you CAN pass this class. He will work with you. challenging teacher. Although its honestly for your own good. Time management is essential for math 131 college algebra!!!! Cannot stress this enough. Honestly if you struggle with math its best to just take this one class.

Idk what other reviews are taking about, this is the best professor I've had. He helps students as much as legally possible, it's just that he teaches some high level math. If you're taking a calculus class, it's gonna suck no matter who you take. But at least with Ruffato he will help guide you and let you know exactly what you need to pass.

Great professor but crushingly hard class, I get why everyone is so divided. Don't take the class unless you already had a calc class. He lectures and then expects that you will go work and learn on your own, and then come back to him with questions. Not a horrible way to teach but relies on you putting in a bunch of effort, it won't work for some.

The effort you put into this class directly reflects the grade you receive. Ruffatto did a great job preparing his students for exams and explaining material. He even offers a workshop after class to help answer questions. His teaching style is fast-paced but easy to get used to. Do every homework problem from textbook and you'll be fine.

A lot of the people complaining about this class are complaining about the difficulty of Calc 1 and not about the quality of the professor. Ruffatto genuinely wants everyone to succeed but he knows that most people taking his class simply aren't up to the workload. My class started with 24 kids and ended with just 5 left over.

I struggled in the beginning of the semester and was getting 50s and 60s on tests but now I have one test left and my most recent score was a 94. Ruffatto can be a little hard to follow at times but he is more than willing to work with you and offers a "workshop" during his office hours before class which help a ton. Respectable and fair.

I've had professor Ruffatto twice now for Precalc (Hybrid) in the spring, and Calculus 1 (online) over the summer. He is tough and goes more in depth about math than most professors, which is something I'm actually thankful for. He grades pretty lenient on exams even though they are hard (some also include EC). He follows the book a lot too.

Overall the professor was alright. Helped when i needed it, and the class was easy. I may be slightly biased since this class was a breeze for me, but i had no real issues with him besides the course structure in canvas is very messy and can be confusing.
