I went through hell and back with this professor. He is a hypocrit. He laughs at you and makes you look like the jerk if you don't understand the material. He said that all you need to worry about is the final and you will pass his class. WRONG!! He will fail you if he can. I had to put up a fight for days to get him to change my grade.

This is the most sarcastic prof. ever. He once suggested that students call him on his cell if they will be late. Another time a student came in late and he said, "you think you can show up any time?" What do you think this is, a house of ill repute?" The MTH department is hell. It is all about the final and you can't pass w/o passing the final.

He is **** and terrible teacher. He asks to review HW everyday but never collects it; he simply starts with the first step then skips to the final step. His response to your questions is questioning your intelligence. I passed his first test with over a 70 & still dropped him b/c of the level of ignorance he displayed w/ his subliminal racism.

Seriously lacks teaching ability. It's mind boggling knowing he's been teaching for so long. He has a poor understanding as to how to handle a class, shows up late and barely is able to answer any problems you ask. I could count at least 10 times where he has done a text prob. and ended up with an answer different from the texts'.

He is not that bad as everyone says, if you talk to him after class and show that you care enough to pass he will most definately keep that into consideration, and try to help you pass. PLUS he curves all the tests, and sometimes allows for a 1 pg note at the tests.Definately a bearable teacher. ps you MAY need a SAC tutor aside from his class

Ugh. UGH. Math is my worst subject to begin with, and having a teacher who refuses to treat you like an equal makes it ten times worse. You ask him to do a question, and he laughs at you. So condescending, almost downright mean. WAY too much homework with a very confusing syllabus. He always gets example problems wrong. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

The only positive thing I have to say about this professor is that he looks like Santa Claus. But once you've taken his class, you will learn that he is Santa's evil twin. He will question everything about you from where you sit in class to what you do when you sit there. If you don't know how to do a problem he will berate you. DROP COURSE.

I had Dr. Barone for the Fall 2009 semester. Let me start off by stating that most of what yo wil read on ratemyprofessor is a result of people being bitter from failing the departmentl final. He is great and will help you out if you are willing to put in the work. I highly recommened him if you are one of "those" students. If not, you will fail.

Applied calc is an easy class, but barone makes it hard. He creates a question off the top of his head, gets off topic with a short story, and returns to the question, only to get the wrong answer. He puts questions on tests that have nothing to do with the curriculum. Expect to teach yourself with the textbook and still get a low grade.

Worst professor I've ever had. He goes off on long rants about his life. Makes mistakes when he does examples in class. It seems as if he's the one who doesn't understand math. His tests, like his examples, are messy and incoherent. Unless you're willing to teach yourself Calc, don't take him. If you don't want to take math again, don't take him.

Avoid this professor at all costs - he's completely lost when it comes to calculus. Though Unstuckstudy may help with the material, his teaching is a disaster. Better to drop the course if you get stuck with him.
