Cool professor. His leactures are very interesting. You'll learn a lot.

Superb! Makes the class very enjoyable. He is right when he asks students to show all the work on their tests. He is the man...his classes will always be interesting since they are funny. He is a very good teacher.

he always makes the class fun and interesting

if you want to learn take him ...he is demanding but you will learn a lot...loved his class

He is funny and blunt. He tries very hard to teach you what you need but you can't miss a class and expect an A. Be there.

After three semesters of Calculus with him, I can say Mr. Albanese has taught me more than any other teacher at CPCC. Take him if you want to know more than your friends at their state schools.

He is the best. I really enjoyed him and the class.

Excellent teacher. He demands the very best, and prepares you well.

REALLY FUNNY! LOTS OF GOOD STORIES. PRETTY LENIANT.

Very funny! He is willing to help those who REALLY need it. Does not tolerate those who are not willing to learn. If you want to understand and learn math well take Albanese, if you do not and want a Bull**** Grade take someone else. Albanese does not put up with CRAP! Dedicated Students Only!

Very good at providing clarity in calc. concepts. SOME of his tests are rough, but he still provides a lot of clarity in CONCEPTS. The analytical work he does it in his head and that can sometimes leave you in the dust, but its nothing serious only if you know your algebra.

Very good teacher and very funny!!! He is willing to help students anytime. =)

This teacher is funny and awasome. His style of teching is good.Test are little hard but if you know his material and do all homeworks. You will be fine and do good on test. But you have to watch out when u get your test back look all your paper through. Overall its fun in class.

I had him for Trig...I forgot the section #....The class was pretty tough but Albanese wasn't a bad teacher. A ton of repititon on the problems and you should be fine. Theres only so much the teacher can do for you.

I had Mike in 171;172;271!! Well, many people say bad things about him. I can tell you, if you want to learn something about Precalc, and Calculus, he is the guy. I don't care for his jokes or whatever, i am there to learn something. He is teaching "old school", but if you do what he tells you, everything works out. Attend classes, dont be late, n

Fine Teacher. Clear instruction, gives students who ask help.

Enjoyed the class. If you are prepared to work and attend class, you should do well. If you want to goof around, don't even bother signing up.

He is fun and serious about his job . Ask question if you don't understand .He is very smart and helpful . If you have any problem talk to him .This is my second Class with him .

I loved his class, he is a great pre-cal teacher. I did pull a whole nighter before the exam and I got a high B. Just do every question on his review and you'll do good!!!

He is very good in what he does. though i think his old age is begining to catch up with him and that affects his calculations.

Funny guy. But he's kind of mean. He asks that you show work on tests for partial credit, yet you never get the partial credit. The final was easy, but I definitely am not going to take him for Calculus!

Great Math Teacher. I wish he could teach some Math to these teachers down in FL. I had to leave Charlotte and I miss my him so much. He explains everything very easily and if you take notes and do the work online you will get an A and you will learn a lot.

Albanese is a good teacher. His teaching is so-so but he is very helpful. However when you ask a question be specific because he doesn't want to re-teach the lesson. He WILL get behind because he love to tell stories which are kind of funny (keep in mind this is a math class not stand-up show.) Also he does have a temper so don't be late or text.

I have had three of Mike's classes and I definitely recommend him. He digitizes his notes, answers emails promptly, and cares if you show continuous effort. Forget you own a cellphone in his class and if you are late, expect a locked door. He is consistent which makes his tough cell phone policy a small price to pay. Serious students will like him.

Mike is an amazing man. Extremely humorous, which makes math easier to sit through. His tests, however, are extremely difficult. He will tell you that the questions come from the homework, and don't spend too much time on that. Interested people will do well.

Yeah, Mike has issues with stupid people. When you show up for class late and have your cellphones going off, he gets REAL cranky. As well he should. This is a college class, not a daycare center. Grow up, complainers. Mike knows his stuff and is more than willing to help those who are respectful and give an honest effort.

Mike is one of my favorite math teacher I've ever taken a class with. He is nit-picky about being late and cell phones, but really guys. Just don't do it. He doesn't explain things very well, but if you ask him for help or to slow down HE WILL. But in a math class it doesn't make a difference who your teacher is. You just gotta practice.

He is a really good teacher. His tests are a little hard, but in cal 2, you need to work hard and spend time for it which if you do, you can get A on his tests. He cares about students and tries to answer your question in anyway either in class or via email. He is the best math professor in CP. Homework is not required but just do it if you want A.

Mr. Albanese is a fantastic professor, his tests aren't easy, but if you put forth the effort to study and do problems from the book(MathXL is trash for studying), you will do well in his class.

I thought he was a great and likable instructor. Doesn't mind clarifying info as long as you are paying attn. in class. His test were very hard for me. Would I take him again... maybe-ish?

He is a fair good teacher. His tests are a little hard, but if you do the homework u'll do good. He's helpful and clear in his instructions. Thumbs up!

Started with him in 171, have chosen to take him for 172, 271, and will continue. He tests on whether or not you understand the material, not whether you can memorize the steps. Also, his teaching style is full of proofs and explanations of why something is the way it is, not just "memorize this formula, because." Funny, friendly, helpful.

I had him at West Virginia Tech years ago. I am now a professor and have been one for twenty four years and I still have another six years to go until I can retire. I thought he was a great teacher at Tech in the eighties.

Excellent teacher. If you show up for class and participate, you will have no problem in this course. Just be sure you're not late or leave your cellphone on. His wrath is legendary!

Take the hardest questions from the book and those are what you'll see on his tests. You'll need to be good at math as well as understand any new concepts. He uses tons of fractions as exponents.

So far the best math teacher ive ever had.. He explains everything, strong basics.. If you are a student who really wants to study then he is the one.If you just wanna hang around and take classes for the sake of it, you ll never pass. your efforts will pay you and he helps a lot. He is funny and picks on people but heyy if not class would be dry..

Good teacher. He knows his stuff. He doesn't give hw but he wants you to practice, he's 100% honest with you, and he's always willing to help. Teaches you what you need. If you want to pass just work out problems he recommends and that's all BC his test are easy usually 10 questions.

He is a great teacher who is always going to help you if you need it. I would take pictures of problems and email them to him with questions and he would respond. He understands when situations arise. He's funny and makes class interesting. Had two classes with him, 172 and 271. You must do the homework to pass the class! Ask questions! Do the HW!!

He can make people feel uncomfortable with his humor but if you're not that social he will leave you alone, definitely knows what he's teaching and if you want an A for his class I would say start working hard from day one. He wants you to be punctual, no phones in class. Just follow his rules, do the homework and you'll be fine.

knows what he teaches, will stop periodically to make sure everyone understands whats going on. answers any question. likes classroom discussion take the opportunity to speak up otherwise he will keep going and you will be left behind.no phones, not a fan of people leaving class, great person.

Bottom line: He will give you what you deserve and what you deserve is how much you studied. I've read some of the comments, he tends to go a little fast sometimes but will explain ANYTHING you want till YOU tell him that you understood. His tests are exactly what he taught. He is is a great guy but do not expect to pass by not doing your part.

if you want an A for calc 3, take this professor. EASY A.

He's so funny and into math! I'm not a real math-ish person, but he made this class really enjoyable!

Mr. Albanese is the best math instructor I have EVER had. I am a horrible math student and he made trig easy enough for even me to understand. He's comical and energetic, has a touch of sarcasm and is a delight to watch lecture. He takes something that is traditionally boring and puts a fun and entertaining light on it. Bravo!!

I have taken 2 semesters with Mr. Albanese and have already signed up for another next semester. I can say that in order to receive an A for his class you need to show interest and go to his office hours. He mostly teaches basic problems in class, and on the tests the hard questions from the book appear. He will help you anytime YOU just need toask

good teacher helpful funny. probably the best math reach the school has

Mr. Albanese is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I took Calc I with him and it was the most difficult class I've ever taken, but it has helped me tremendously in the rest of my educational career. His classes are entertaining and insightful. I wish I could take more classes with him.

Honestly one of the coolest professors I had. Never dreaded going to Calc3 and unlike my other classes, never skipped a single lecture. His tests are based off of the suggested homework problems (which he doesn't require you to do). Really cool and funny individual. Calc 3 isn't suppose to be easy so don't expect the lecture to be enough to pass.

Tests are kinda tough but he lets you bring a note sheet. Do all the assigned homework problems and attend lectures and you'll be fine. Pretty lenient on grading problems we haven't spent a lot of time on and drops a few of your lowest quiz grades. Overall a challenging, yet rewarding experience.

I took Calc 1 with him and it was REALLY hard. I learned a lot though and it has helped me tremendously as I continue with my educational goals.

I had the pleasure to be a student in one of Prof. Albanese class this semester. He is hilarious, and he will remember each student by heart! Before every test he will give out a study guide and it looks identical to the one that comes on the test! I started a group study along this course and he supported me by giving me my own classroom! -Saeed

His tests are brutal and you have to study. Homework isn't mandatory, but you need to do it to succeed. If you show him you're willing to work, he'll take note. He dedicated a lot of office time into making sure I understood all of the material. Make sure you have enough time to dedicate to this class. He's no pushover, but he's still a good prof.

awesome

Mr. Albanese is a really tough teacher but isn't as bad as some reviews state. Was the class hard? Yes. Hands down one of the hardest classes I've taken in my years. Is he a good teacher? Yeah he is pretty solid. But you may find yourself teaching yourself at times. Would I take again? No I would not. If you don't like working hard, then avoid.

Mr. Albanese is a very good teacher, I don't know why there is a lot of bad comments on him but he is a very nice, cute and funny teacher. He helps me a lot! Just do the homework and show him that you care about your class! Then u will be fine.

You dont have so much homework to do except for Aleks. Homework on Aleks is not about have-to thing. I think its your responsibility to do it. You cant blame your professor for not teaching you well. Every professor has his or her own way of teaching. My tip is, finish all of the Aleks homework and his study guide. Then, youll pass.

Mr. Albanese is a fantastic professor. I had him for Calc 3, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations and learned so much. If you do the homework and pay attention in class you'll do fine, if not then it's nobody's fault but your own because material from all of the aforementioned resources will appear on the exams.

Mr. Albanese is a good teacher. He guides you through the steps of solving problems to help you. He also provides study guides for every test, and spends the class time explaining how to solve what you do not understand. He is also very funny, and keeps the class interesting.

He is super sarcastic so take anything not relating to math with a grain of salt. If you already have a heavy course load I would recommend steering clear of any math course as the online aleks work is numerous and hard to keep up with. If you dont do the aleks, you will fail. Be committed. Professor Albanese also loves criminal minds.

Very sarcastic and funny. Likes to joke with students. He cares about students' ability to succeed. He would always ask us when our tests in other classes were so we wouldn't have 2 tests in 1 day. He let people stay well past the scheduled end of the final to let us finish. He gives optional hw, but if you don't do it you will fail.

Hes a very sarcastic guy so dont take anything he says to heart. study guides similar to the exams. If you dont study or do the aleks you will not pass. He will usually use the last 15 minutes of class for questions so utilize it. Clear expectations of students that if you follow he will be more inclined to bump you from a High C to a low B.

Tests worth 55% of the final grade. Amazing teacher. Funny/Sarcastic. The lectures and the online homeworks/quizzes have nothing to do with each other. During lectures he teaches from the book, very deep conceptual learning, the "whys and hows". Very hard tests (some from the homework and the rest if u get the concepts if will get it. (tough class

Mr. Albanese was a awesome teacher! Not a lot of homework besides Aleks and splits them up so your not having to complete 50 topics the day its due. He also teaches from the book and goes into detail (the hows and whys). Be aware that this is an advanced math course. I you are not ready you will struggle regardless of the teacher, so come prepared.

Hes the best

Did not have webex meetings besides the first day. He posted videos of him going over the material and responded quickly to emails. Not that much hw on alex and everything was easy to navigate online.

Four tests worth 80% of your grade. Optional final. The way the course was run through Cengage was sooooooooooo nice compared to ALEKS.

Tests are 80% but if you know your material he is a gracious grader. For Cal 273 participation matters because if he sees that you care and put in your best effort he will return the effort (responding to emails quickly, helping with homework problems, etc.). He posted helpful lecture videos for my hybrid class.

Professor Albanese was very understanding and helped me a lot. He is a great instructor, if you ever have an issue just email him and he will respond right away. h recognizes hard work and appreciates it. He is also very funny, his class is never boring.

He came off as a jerk initially, but he is honestly a great instructor. This course had very manageable work and he's a funny and personable professor.

Great professor and a hilarious guy. He teaches well and offers help outside of class. Make sure to write your work out neatly during tests or he will strike you for it initially. One test dropped 2-grade letters because my work was messy but I went to his office hours, explained what I did, and he fixed it. Overall good class and teacher.

Struggled in this class at first but Albanese's style definitely grew on me. He grades hard and there's tons of homework but lectures were interesting, in-depth with proofs but good test prep, and always entertaining. I was able to redo work on one test for a better grade, he will help you succeed if you show you care

amazing professor, but the course is VERY TEST HEAVY!!! if you fail one test pretty much ur grade will drop by a lot. but i enjoyed him as a teacher, responded to all my emails within 24 hrs whenever i had a problem with the test he'd always be very understanding and let me retake one. lectures were kind of boring, but overall easy to understand

Prof Albanese is a good prof, but he does grade tough. He will take off like half the points on a test question if you didn't use a certain method even if it didn't specify to use that method, or if you didn't show trivial steps in the work, even if you got the question right. At the end of the course though, he did drop lowest grades which is cool

Lessons are explained in videos and attendance is taken by quizzes each week but it is pretty test-heavy. He was always willing to help during office hours and responds to emails fast.

I took his MAT-271 Class as an 8-week class. It was pretty fast-paced but also a short class, so I get that. He is a harsh grader when grading tests, but it is a college-level class. you can't expect him to be lenient on grading. Overall, Mr. Alabanese was a really good teacher for MAT-271, and I'd definitely recommend taking him for that class.

A genuinely amazing professor with a clear grasp on the things he's teaching! He works hard to make sure that people understand the things he's teaching and is always available through his email to respond to any questions you have. He is also very accommodating to his students' needs, allowing for extensions and redoes beyond the norm.

Dr. Albanese is an amazing teacher; you have to pay attention to his online videos because if you don't pay attention, YOU WILL FALL BEHIND. He answers his emails and helps you as much as he can even though he is teaching other classes. Take notes for sure and be sure to always study for your test and do the reviews he offers you. Awesome guy.

Prof. Mike is one of my fav professors! He is kinda funny. He is really understanding, could extend deadline if emailed and probably participation and attendance helps your case. There were 3 tests and a final. The final, if higher than lowest test score, can be used to replace lowest test score and I think he does this in each of his courses.

Professor Albanese was good and gave a decent amount of work. I did email him once on something not too important and he never responded so this is why he is a 4 and not a 5. His grading can be strict and if not done exactly on how he attempts a problem, it can be marked wrong. I also did this course in a summer session so it was fast paced.

Professor Albanese brings a great sense of humor to his MAT273 class. While the exams are challenging, he's understanding and will work with you if you put in the effort. Using resources like unstuck AI alongside the textbook can really help you succeed in this class.

MAT273 is made most difficult by the tests, which count for 80% of the final grade, and will include the most challenging topics covered by homework/quizzes. Professor Albanese is a strict grader. He is accessible and helpful outside of class, but only if you take initiative. Having a deep understanding of the content is necessary to do well.

Prof. Albanese is an amazing professor; he has a good sense of humor and is very supportive of students who want to learn. His lectures are concise and to the point, yet are still reasonably paced. Just don't slack off, and don't ever, EVER, let him catch you using your phone in class.

Do NOT get caught on your phone. Tests are worth a large portion of the final grade but he drops the lowest test and replaces it with your final. Drops a bunch of quizzes and hw. Make sure you do the work exactly like how he taught you because he will dock points on tests. Overall good class kind of stressful. Would recommend taking in person.

I took this course online for a short term. There's a lot of homework, but it's all manageable. Some lectures were a bit hard to understand at times, but you can always supplement with YouTube. Just make sure to solve the problems using all the detailed steps the same way he shows during the lectures. He gives good feedback and is also very caring.

He is a very caring professor who encourages students to learn math in an interesting and serious way.
