Nice guy but not a great prof. He can do the problems and will at lightning speed. Just pray that you are good at math and have a remarkable ability to stay focused on endless "x squared with y and a i and a few numbers thrown" in problems. Impressive mind, just not sending the knowledge my way.

he was ok. i naturally get math so maybe im not a good judge. i found i got bored because for me he moved to slow but i can see it being very helpful for those who dont get it as easily. oh but sometimes he'll got too slow thru the lecture and then rush thru the last couple examples that are naturally more difficult to understand.

Professor Cunsolo is very clear and concise, and fantastic at explaining things. Very good for a first year course. He's extremely approachable ouside of class, and will sit down and help you understand whatever it is. I recommend him fully. The quizzes/midterms/exam are very fair, and he prepares you to do well on them. Very funny too!
