Knows what he's talking about, but teaches bad. Needs to learn english.

He's impossible, he's not helpful AT ALL. And his tests and quizzes are IMPOSSIBLE to study for. Only good thing is he gives homework assignments to help bring up your grades. Stay away from him if you can!

this man is so mean. if you are in his class do not show up late, leave to go to the bathroom, or eat while in class.

DROP THE CLASS, DOn't even attempt to deal with this man. He teaches but quizes and tests are like D's and F's. If you have him you are guaranteed an F. BAD TEACHER

not good

had this guy when i was a freshman, and am just reviewing him now in hopes of getting the word out. two words: stay away.

Anit-American sexest ****, worst sense of humor, worst teacher, worst everything. Drop class if u can or u will regret it.

He is the worst teacher EVER!!! I couldn't tell you enough to drop his class if you get him. He's the most boring, frustrating man with no sense of humor, no teaching ability, and no English speaking skills.

Very very very very boring!!

this guy sucks. He is boring as hell, you can't understand a word he says, and his exam are wicked hard. Plus he keeps you past 10 almost every class.

This guy has to be one of two the worst teachers I have ever had. Aviod him at all cost.

i have no idea how he is still teaching, grading methods are unclear, accent gets in the way, gets mad when no one talks and gets mad casue he alwasy says your answers are wrong...i got an a- but i have no idea how

I went to most of the class, tried to pay attention, but I CAN'T. His accent gets in the way and he is so boring!!! His tests are impossible to pass, but he grades paper pretty easily. Thank god he curved.

Ok the guy gave me a B- and it still baffles me?? i can't believe this is a course it is really just a waste of 3 hours a week, don't plan on learning anything except maybe how to watch a clock tick, guy thinks hes a ****ing comedian maybe he is, but no one could understand him anyways Thanks Pete!!

after taking this guy for intro to micro and international trade and doing fairly descent by the way, i can honestly say he that he is THE WORST F***ING PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. PERIOD!

Easy; if you understand economics, you don't need to attend his class. I got an A without going to class. He was a pure **** about it though. Can't teach his way out of a paper bag. Don't expect to learn anything. Don't take him unless you don't mind wasting your tuition money; if you don't get Eco, don't expect him to teach it to you

he can barely speak english. don't ask questions because he won't answer them. avoid taking this class.

horrible

the worst prof i have ever had. knows what he is talking about but is a complete ****. tells us to read the book then teachs concepts competely different than what the book says. marks book answers wrong on tests. tries to be funny but no one laughs. i haven't learned anything in this class. he does curve at the end so i got a decent grade

I can't stress enough how horrible this guy is. His lectures make no sense and the test questions seem to be pulled out of his asss. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! The average grades for his tests were all failing and he refused to curve the tests unlike most other professors in the department. I learned nothing and I studied alot. STAY AWAY!!

I would rather drop out of school than take a class with him again. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

His tests are really hard, but his papers you have to write will boost your grade. Stay away at all costs. Hates Americans and enjoys giving bad grades.

Got an A with the guy. He is a sucky teacher but the material he gives is so easy to understand. He asks the basic concepts of the chapters, little to no math involved, and thats what econ is. Know the vocab for tests though. If you put the work in and study you will do good. Take notes and study the book!

I would rather take a belt sander to my face than come to this class again.

He is not a good teach and does not help you to succeed. He teaches as if everyone understands what he is talking about. Try to avoid this class it will stress you out. Tests are sometimes on matterial that was not assigned or in later chapters.

Mini is the man! Do not worry about failing, you will be stresed out all year worring if you will pass this class or with a good grade. He curves everything so if you want to do well pretend you care, take notes, read the book summaries, dont talk, pay attention, and dont use a computer! Do all his paper assignments too, they will make your grade.

He doesn't speak English & he HATES Americans!! I have a good grade in this class and it's only because I go EVERY DAY and TAKE NOTES (which consist of drawings) and you'll do fine. Just look like you're paying attention, don't fall asleep & DON'T TAKE YOUR COMPUTER TO CLASS! (and laugh at his stupid jokes)

Extremely unclear, bizarre teacher. The essay is easy but his tests and quizzes are hard even though he scales them a little bit. Switch to another class if u can!

Mini is by far the worst teacher i have ever had in my life ever. I would honestly rather stick my hand in a meat grinder than take another class with him. His tests are next to imposible and he knows it. the highest grade in my class is a 76 and the average is probably somewhere around a 50. If you have him drop. if you have a choice dont take him

I rather stick my head in a snowblower than go to his class. If you want to pay to sleep and not learn anything, this is the class to take. Stay away YOU WILL NOT PASS

He doesn't teach anything and is the weirdest person you will ever meet. he makes terrible jokes, his voice goes incredibly high at random times, and he spent the last class of the semester reading us ads in the paper for an hour. he is proof that if you are terrible at everything in life, you can still have a career as an economics professor.

Wicked cute old italian man. very odd though. he is funny sometimes & his voice goes up and down randomly into a shrieking sound. very boring..hard to stay awake in class. tests and midterm are impossible. he does not use the book when making these tests or quizes so dont bother. PAY ATTENTION& DONT TALK DURING CLASS. i wish i didnt take his class.

He is completely useless and doesn't teach anything

Kill me now. Peter Mini is the reason I won't sign up for a class before coming here to read comments. His class is the ONLY class I've ever missed or zoned out of without feeling like I was wasting my money. I missed a test when my girlfriend went to the hospital and he yelled at me for having poor time management skills.

as a person, he's very nice. as a professor, he's the worst EVER. even if his english was comprehensible (which it's not), he still wouldn't make sense.

hard to understand

Nice guy but makes no sense... Goes way to fast on the board drawing up stuff that makes no sense. he also changes the tone of his voice which is very annoying.

If you have this class, it is in your best interest to drop it. He does not teach anything relevant or comprehendable, and his english is subpar at best. Tests are impossible to study for, his Notes might as well have been done by a 3 year old with finger paint.

The following are things i would rather do than go to his class: Drink bleach, smash two bricks onto my head making my brains into a brick sandwich, show razor blades under my fingernails, and play russian roulette by myself with 6 bullets

do not ever take a class with this man he in unfair in his grading and is utterly useless

The rudest man I have ever encountered. Avoid at all costs!!

This man is awful. Please do not take his class unless you want to be bored out of your mind. He so unhelpful, and just god-awful. You can get 60s on every test, and some how walk away with a C+ or a B. (becuase he was on academic probation). Just leave the class...

Never take him. Absolutely useless.

Worst teacher ever. Did not understand one thing. if you are deciding Ilaqua or Mini, pick ilaqua, i actually learned things in his class. all mini does is draw graphs and u dont understand anything. And even when you get C's and everyone fails you get a C and somehow they get B's.

He is horrible.. i find it hard to stay awake during class and i studied for hours only to get a 60% on a quiz. he barely speaks eenglish and makes funny noises when he talks. dont take this class

THE. WORST. it's very hard to understand how to do your midterm when it is written with worse spelling and grammar than a kid in kindergarten. I think I counted 15 mistakes before I gave up, You can't understand him at all, you can't understand his writing. Best Advice ... SKIP and use that time to teach micro to yourself in the book.

worst prof ever. Can't understand a word that he says and no matter how many hours you spend studying you will still bomb all his quizzes. He could care less if anyone passes and jokes about everyone getting ds. Drop the class asap!!

Very boring and unclear, but he did make some funny jokes. But sometimes he insulted students publicly. I struggled in this class and went to his office hours, which was surprisingly helpful. Once I met him in a non-academic setting, he was very helpful to me. I wouldn't take him again, but if you're stuck just get to know him a bit.

He is a terrible teacher, he stands and lectures making weird noises and explains nothing he says. I would switch if you can. If not, just show up and pretend your listening and just read the text book every night. That's where all the test questions come from anways, except for the graphs. Those make no sense at all.

The WORST teacher i have ever had in my life. Don't bother showing up to class or with taking notes. I completely BSed the tested, should have had 30's but he scaled to a 70's. There was zero motivation for me to do anything in the class mainly because he doesn't teach he just talks to himself and makes weird sounds.
