Prof. Pico is awesome! He cares about the students in his class, especially those who care for the material. His grading is very clear, 10% quizzes, 25% HW, 55% Tests, 10% Final, he drops the lowest test grade. Also, his practice tests are very similar to his actual exams. Honestly, he made Calc 3 much easier for the summer. Be ready for lots of HW

Mr. Pico is my favorite professor at ARC! I took him for Calc 1, 2, 3, and DE. Pico and I were both a little disappointed that I didn't complete his entire curriculum, but it was time to transfer to UC. He gives quizzes and lots of homework, but all of these things will prepare you to do really well for the exams and all of your other classes.

Pico is a good choice if you are fine with having lots of homework that requires you to prove. In calculus, there was no homework proving, but for linear with Pico, there is a ton. Exams are fairly straight forward with proofs, just study the practice. I would not recommend him for this class (for calc, he is amazing) but the class is doable.

Prof Pico knows his material, no doubt about that. His manner of presenting it leaves a lot to be desired; it's just dry, like reading from a textbook. However, he is accessible and responds to cogent questions and requests for assistance via e-mail and through office hours. He leaves a lot of room for extra credit and drops lowest scores -- nice.

Don't take him online if you want any kind of interaction with him outside of his office hours. I emailed him 3 times with no response. Also no live lectures so you can't ask questions in class. Calc2 is hard and if you want a professor that is going to actually teach and cares about your understanding of material, this guy is not for you.
