Dr. Zito is well respected throughout the math department and anyone would be lucky to have him as a teacher. I took him for calc one and calc 2 both were fantastic. He is straight up, and makes calc 2 much easier for the student to learn. Super cool guy, always down to earth and cuts up in class. A must for anyone taking calc 1 or 2.

Zito was a great professor - he really teaches the concepts behind the math, and he cares a lot about his students. He moves pretty fast and might assume you know things, so speak up and ask questions, otherwise, he'll move right on. Tests are straightforward and just like the examples he does in class.

This professor is not like any other professor I have ever had. I have never laughed this hard in my life. Even tho I got the nickname satan, he really cares about his students success and what he does. He gives you everything you need to pass but you need to practice the material and work on becoming better bc it gets easier after that.

Absolutely amazing you can literally text him at 11:00 with a question and he'll probably answer it and is willing to work with you to give you the best scores

Dr. Zito is, without question, one of the most exceptional professors I've encountered throughout my academic journey. His ability to break down math concepts into clear, understandable pieces is unmatched. He maintains a perfect balance of humor, structure, and depth in his lectures. Most of all genuinely cares,UL is incredibly lucky to have him!

Best professor at UL. I would take him without a doubt for every class if I could. I thought people were exaggerating, but he is truly one of a kind. He genuinely cares for ALL his students, loves math, and will do everything he can to teach and help you. If you don't like math, he will make you learn to love it. Overall amazing guy and professor!

If you don't pass w/ Zito, its on you. He makes sure every single person in class understands what he's teaching. He will do as many practice problems as you need him to, and he's just a really sweet guy.

I loved Dr. Zito's class. I actually loved learning about the course. He was understanding and took his time to teach and explain the practice problems and homework. You will need to actually take notes and also pay attention in class, and also you have to do the homework given. But if you actually try, you will pass.

I enjoyed this class a lot. Keeps it real, hilarious, and knows how to keep a classroom engaged. Learned a lot, and by far one of the strongest professors in the department.

The hype is real. Zito restored my faith in my math abilities. It is embarrassing to admit but it was nearly a dream of mine to pass Calculus due to a lot of unfortunate times in my life and missing the opportunity of school. Now I'm debating adding a math minor having found a new love for math and getting back on my feet through his advice. Props.

Barely any homework, you actually have to do the work yourself if want to pass the class. Showing up isn't enough. Cares for his students more than any professor and feels like a second father. Always available out of class and in office hours.

Show up to class. While its not mandatory Calc II is very difficult and skipping class is setting up for failure. Make sure to practice outside of homework while Dr Zito is one of the greatest professors it is still very difficult and will not pass if you do not practice on your own.

There are good proffessors, there are great proffessors and then there are proffesors like Dr.Zito. He is absolutely one of kind in the realm of teaching and academia. He makes it very clear that he loves teaching and cares about his students. He made a hard subject like calc 2 fun and very enjoyable and because of that I would say it was perfect.

He is such a valuable professor at this university. He helps students to succeed at math and encourage students to acquire their passions. Calculus is a subject not many people love, he would help you grasp the concepts compared to Calculus I.

Second semester with Dr. Zito and he is still the best there is. I wish I had more math to take just to sit in his class again. You will learn more than you could imagine and I actually retain the info past his courses, rather than memorize and relearn later on. If you ever have the opportunity to take him please take him!! He is the GOAT.

Zito is an example and lecture heavy teacher. He'll definitely give you the grade you deserve, but it's clear that he wants his students to succeed. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, I found it important to show up to class. I would absolutely take him again as he's hilarious and has a good sense of humor. A truly one of a kind professor.
