What a funny guy! Mixes his math lesson with comedy. Tests are only on the basics and he is always available after class. Keep in mind that tests aren't exactly what I would call "easy" but if you do your homework and study you should get no les
He wasen't a comedian in my class maybe in another class but not mine. he's a good teacher in my opinion but he doesn't really fully explain material as well as other teachers i've had. tests are difficult because they have a lot of word problems

Tests are really easy (if you do the homework he assigns - trust me, it really helps), and he gives good notes. He may seem a bit rigid and cold at first, but once you talk to him and establish rapport, you'll notice he's a cool guy.
He has zero personality, and he could be a little rude at times. He tends to go a little too fast in his lessons, and instead of going over students' problems, he just tells them to do the homework he assigns. That's no way to teach! Terrible professor.
Very unhelpful, pretty much assumes that we all know the material and goes very fast in explaining the material. Gets annoyed quick when asked questions. Tests aren't so bad, he gives partial credit and has bonus questions for extra credit. He still sucks
Terrible teacher. Gave us tests with some material that was either never covered in class or very briefly covered in class. Gets annoyed quick when asked questions during lectures. He isn't friendly at all either; ZERO personality.
He never taught that much; instead, he loved to reprimand the class about "not chit-chatting" while he lectures. Nobody would talk, I guess he just wanted to feel important. Tests were terrible because he gave us the hardest problems from the bo

THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. VERY UPTIGHT AND RUDE TO STUDENTS.
Horrible professor; very rude to students who have questions and he is sarcastic whenever a student has a question. Don't take him.
Sucks. Tests were easy because of my own studying of the material - I was forced to do this because he doesn't really explain anything, and he expects us to do an insane load of homework to fully grasp the material he teaches. What a crock of BS.
This "teacher" would look at the book and do all of the problems from the book. That was his teaching style. He can't teach for s**t. I knew a lot of stuff going into the class, so I found the tests to be pretty easy. I'd suggest finding a bette
The worst. Very unsympathetic and doesn't explain.
he was a crappy teacher, he was no help whatsoever, and that's why i dropped him.
I thought he was a very fair teacher. He explained the work very well, but I did have a hard time in his class because the tests were very hard. He also graded very strictly. But whenever I needed help he was willing to give it.
helps out with any problems or questions with any homework when asked.
I dont understand why the low ratings. He is by far the best mathmatics teacher i have had so far at BCC... that is my opinion of things atleast.
this is a great math professor, very kind and extremely helpful. he understands how to make difficult problems easy to understand and is always open for extra help. the "jewel" of bcc.
he is very helpful from all the teachers i've ever had for math. he knows how to teach the class and her cares about the students.
nice guy
Good class. gave great examples.
Very DULL!
He's a nice guy with a good sense of humor. He'll explain whatever you ask him too, and will keep going over things until they are understood. Grade was baseed solely on exams.
his tests are a piece of cake. he tells you exactly what will be on them. if your not a total slacker looking for a free ride you will appreciate him ALOT. he a nice guy, too.
Prof. Fusco is one of the most helpful professors in math out there. As long as you ask, then he is more than willing to help.
One of the best math teachers at this school, and I have been through almost all of them! He explains everything clearly. If you do your homework, the tests should be pretty easy for you. Very friendly.
This guy is average. Do the homework and you'll do fine, but he does hold students late and is a little short sometimes.
He was really easy! Explained everything and made sure you understood. gives you formulas for the tests!
He is very nice and really helpful!!! however, you have to do homework to pass the class.
hate this class- terrible teacher. Tests are difficult.
very egocentric . will consider retake tests . even if its a decimol point less than you suppose to get hell give you the lower grade . he is giving you an extra points but make sure to the calculations right.never be late or its gonna cost you
Math is not easy but he teaches it well. He reviews for the tests and goes over the homework problems. The tests are a little difficult but it's college algebra...what did ya expect? Grades are based on tests and class participation (no effort required). Come to class everyday and study and you should do very well! Excellent teacher...recommended!!
fusco is an alright professor but is a little tough on grading.
HE WAS THE WORST TEACHER!!! He is one of the worst teachers ever, and if you need a passing grade in this subject I highly suggest to take any other teacher BUT him!!!!!!
Absolute BEST math teacher ever! He's very clear and knowledgable and is more than generous with partial credit on exams. He also gives good hints to use if you are going on to the next math classes. Actuall made me like math.
If your coming strait from high school it should be a breeze. The material is not hard but if you psych yourself out you'll mess up. This teacher is very good at explaining any question you have. TAKE THIS TEACHER!
AWESOME TEACHER! HE MADE STATISTICS VERY INTERESTING TO LEARN AND WORKS WITH YOU TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND CONCEPTS.
Good teacher. he makes sure you understand. even helps you a lot in his office hours. he wants you to pass, but you have to show interest. I went from a D to a B+. You do need time to do ALL the Homework. Tests are a little hard but ok.
He is one of the best professor I ever had. He actually made me to fell in love with math. Even though he looks very serious, in fact, he is one of the nicest people in the world. I never missed his classes, even when I was sick. Just remember;never rude or late. Turn off your cell and do your homework. Then you will be fine.
He is an excellent teacher! Do your part and you will learn, he truly loves teaching and is a great asset to BCC! Anyone who says different was just lazy!
Just do your Homework! It's math! you have to keep up! go to lab if you have questions. His test are pretty E.Z. (as long as you do all your homework). Better than taking Ohanion or Fry at South Campus.
hes a weirdo and forgets things to do...he sucks!!...i do the work though

Extremely clear and knowledgeable teacher.
Excelent teacher!! I had lots of math teachers in my life and none of them was as clear and helpful as him. (and well I shouldnt say this but he's very sexy...:$)
One of the best instructors I've had. I took him for Intermediate algebra and statistics. Before taking his class, I had no confidence in my mathmatical abilities.I frequently refer to the notes I took 2 yrs. ago in his statistics class for classes involving statistics at FAU. If you are willing to try, you will learn and do well in his class.
This guy rocks!!! I took this same class once before with O'hanion and bombed so bad I just dropped. (O'hanion doesn't give partial credit on tests, so a lot of people got about 8% on tests!) This guy REALLY wants his students to understand and does his best to explain it the way non-math majors will understand. Plus, he's REALLY HOT!!!
He is an excellent professor; he makes sure students understand and is very open to explain several times.Heis very professional.A+++++++
he wants to you to pass... he is in the math lab, and he is very easy to understand. his lectures arent hard to faollow, easy to pay atention, and that isnt because he's nice too look at but that helps :)
He will stay after class with you and show you easy ways to solve the problems you have questions on.
One of the best teachers ever, and an excellent math teacher. He explains everything well and gives excellent notes. If you fail in this class it is because you did not try at all. Oh, and he's not hard on the eyes either.
He Really wants his students to understand the class, stays after class if someone needs help, tests are very easy. Take him! you wont regret
The best math teaher that I have ever had. He shows you easy shory cuts to get answers to difficult equations. He'll help you whenever you need it. As long as you go to every class and do all your homework, you'll pass his class.
Don't be fooled by his cool demeanor.This is just a trademark. His favorite letter grades (C's and D's.) sum up his true personality. He is Cool and Deadly.
i actually had him for a few different math classes and his class was very enjoyable and an easy learning environment. as for the person below this comment, yea! its math, the class is not suppose to be a piece of cake hun...

Very good teacher I strongly recommend taking him whether you are strong or weak in your math skills. Just take notes do his homework and reviews and you will get an A. He is a very good teacher and explains well and will help you above and beyond what most teachers would do.
I didn't realize how good this guy was until this semester when I had a different math teacher. If you want to pass math, this is the guy to take. Excellent Professor and should be at a university.
THe man knows his stuff. He is excellent at explaining and as long as you don't break his few pet peeves(leaving without telling him and such) you will get along fine. He is a fun teacher, and if you do your homework and listen to him, you can easily pass. He is better to take if you enjoy math, or took previous math courses.
If you are taking Calculus DO NOT take this professor!!!!! I am a straight A FAU student and can barely keep a C in his class! tests are very unfair... doesn't tell you whats on the test, has u study everything, very sarcastic at times when you ask questions and his partial credit grading is very he's unfair! He's only good to look at it...
This professor was very good!! hes very PATIENT! tests you have to study for but hey thats college. hes very nice! but never lets you leave early lol
This guy has got to be one of the worst if not the worst professor there is teaching calculus. His test are unfair, he doesn't give a proper review, he's is a sarcastic idiot and at times he stumps him self and makes this stupid looking face and says "aaahhhh okay". If u can avoid him for calculus u should really do so.
I took professor Fusco for statistics and business cal. He is a fair and caring teacher. He is always willing help his students. He makes his students earn their grades, but he does curve all of his tests.
Some tests are multiple choice and in others u have to answer all the problem step by step. Good teacher.
He only gives 4 test a semester, and they are ridiculously hard test that are just insane! my highest grade was a 60% and don't even try to leave his class early
This guy has got to be one of the worst teachers ever. At times his problems are so hard he stumps himself and would rub his head and be like "ahhhh arm okaayyy." And his reviews are useless. If u can avoid this guy do so.
I dropped his class. Covers alot of material in a short period of time. His teaching style is often confusing. Do his homework and all the practice you can-- or you wont pass.
He Suck!!!
This guy is NOT a good teacher by far!! He is so bland with his information.. He just talks and talks ..its more like a lecture then a math class..does not try to make class interesting AT ALL! His teaching skills are fast and unclear..sometimes it seems like he is even unsure of what he is saying..Take Lizette Foley! She is awesome..
Hard. you get 4 test grades and thats it. youd better KNOW the material or youll fail.
did not like this teacher AT ALL!! very boring, he made you want to fall asleep, i dont recommend him.the tests were very difficult! there were only 4 test grades.
Mr Fusco is one of the BEST math teachers I've ever had. Some people said he was "boring".. but I've never known math to be fun. He's perfectly clear when teaching and will go out of his way to help you. If you want to pass just go to class and do all of the homework. He's really a great professor.
One of the best math teachers in the school. Makes everything make sense.
Before Professor Fusco's class, I was a complete idiot as far as math was concerned. I am proud to say today that thanks to prf Fusco I am no longer an idiot. He makes math easy to understand. He is always available during office hours. He is patient, loves what he does, and loves to teach someone who wants to learn. He is truly awesome.
He is an amazing teacher. whoever does not understand his stuff is a complete idiot and is just plain lazy. take him! highly recommended
SUMMER STUDENT: I've always had a hard time with math and I really didn't think I was going to do good taking it during the summer. But he is very easy to understand and teaches very well. Like with any class, just study, take good notes & you'll pass with a good grade :)
Somebody commented on here that before they took this teacher they detested math and trust me i was one of those people.in life if u put out the effort and time to learn and you have somebody who knows their stuff and is willing to help you you must succeed.this man will help u to pass if u put out the effor attend class.do your HW & get help if u
I read a lot of comments saying he was a bad professor before I took his class. I was dreading him and then I went to class and he was awesome. I guess the people who wrote bad comments were lazy. I'm awful in math and I did quite well in his class. Like any college class you have to show up and do all hw, and you'll do great. Highly recommended!!!
This teacher was horrible. His tests were difficult, and he was not helpful. Tries to explain, but makes it more confusing. Grades are based on tests only so make sure you know the material or your basically screwed. He does give partial credit on tests and considers lab hours, but other than that, nothing good about him. Good luck if you take him!
I did math with Mr.Fusco during the summer of 2007. The time was short, hence it was pretty much a fast paced environment.My advise to any students taking his class during the summer is to show up at all th classes, do the assignments, and I guaratee that you will end up with atleast a B.
He Sucks. If you cant grasp math really fast do not take him. His test and notes are horrible. If you wanna have a good teacher go to Jodi Harris AMAZING!
I am absolutely retarded when it comes to math. Come to find out you cant use a calculator in this class. I flipped. Mr. Fusco made it so easy. Made everything clear. For the first time in my life I understood math. Tests are a little hard. But otherwise hes great. If you need a teacher that takes it slow and explains well he's the guy for you
i would really like to know how any one enjoyed this mans class...its hard as hell and he is totally obnoxious. ya the signing in on the screen is cool. but he wasnt helpful, he didnt teach properly, skips lots of steps and im sorry but i do not recoment him at all. if you take him good luck. it says something about a teacher when the avg is a D.
THAT WAS THE BEST MATH.TEACHER I EVER HAD. NICE, ALWAYS ON TIME AND EASY PERSONALITY. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN, GO FOR ! : - ]
awesome teacher..he is also very good looking :)..not a bad choice for the ladies
I had him last year and he was kind of cool. Even though we couldnt use calculators he made it simple and actually made our mental math stronger. The only bad part is that you really have to pay attention to what he is saying in his lectures. But overall he is cool.
Probably one of the best professors Ive ever had in my life. Math has always been a long-time enemy of mine but with him as my teacher I could deal with it. He doesnt check HW, but doing it is crucial to succeeding in this course so make sure you stay on top of it. He's also really funny and makes the best facial expressions.
Easily the best math teacher I have ever had. I've never understood math before his class, he's thorough and the lab for his class is a piece of cake! He's a total pepper too!!
he is soooooooooo cute!! OMG!! i totally love him! i took him for intermedia algebra, i thought dat i was gonna fail bcuz i am not dat good @ math.. after his class thou i loved it! i discovered dat im actually pretty good!:D he is so helpful,u have to do ur HW thou that is the only way you can pass the class wit a good grade!
Everyone who has said bad comments about fusco is crazyyy or maybe just lazy..i have always been really bad at math and thought i would never make it..he gave five test and i got an "A" on every test. I loved his teaching style. He does move a little fast but anything you didnt catch, just ask and he will show you exactly what you didnt understand.
Great Teacher...Very Patient and very clear...and very HOT!!! Enjoyed going to math class. Very knowledgeable with math knows how to make you understand it!!!!!
awsome!!!
Professor Fusco is very nice and very helpful. He answers all the questions you ask. easy tests (+ extra points), very easy to get an "A" if you do all the homework. There's no tricky questions at all. Highly recommend!! I'm taking his STA2023 now. Remember, do the notes in class and finish all the hw at home, he will go over on it. ^^
He is an excellent teacher! Highly recommend! love him!!!
EXCELLENT TEACHER!
best professor ever!
awesome,the best teacher of B.C.C.Easy A if you go to every class.
Great Teacher. Pretty funny will keep you interested in it and teach you some good ways to learn math if you struggle. I highly recommend him if you struggle with math he makes it easier. You should do the homework but it isn't checked. The tests are great because he gives you credit for trying, math lab is required only for quizzes. TAKE HIM!!!!!
Fusco is AWESOME! He takes the time to solve any problems you're having and works with you. He offers many ways to solve problems and keeps things interesting. Just be sure to do the homework, take the quizzes, ask questions and you'll do fine!
Fusco is probably the best professor I've had here at BC. He was ALWAYS clear and ALWAYS took the time out to make sure everyone understood the work. I would take him again in a heartbeat.
Professor Fusco is a great instructor. He truly knows how to teach and help you understand Algebra. He is fun and always eager to answer your questions. Do the homework you are assigned as it helps you understand the lessons. Would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Professor Fusco!
BEST TEACHER EVER! HE HELPS U UNTILL U FULLY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING..HES THE BEST TEACHER I EVER TOOK FOR MATH HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
A great professor, full of laughs and jokes but also gets down to business and makes sure you understand the work, Highly recommend this professor, the best professor I've had yet!!!No homo
One of the best math teachers! He makes sure you get lots of practice with the problems! He teaches shortcut (really useful when you cover factoring) and makes the problem easy to understand. He will help you if you are having trouble and he makes sure that everyone understands!! Awesome teacher!!
Great Teacher. If you show up you will get it.
He is the best teacher ever. Very cool, Go over homework assignment, answer questions with pleasure. When he gives test, it's possible to make 107 points in case u miss a questions. He is really fair when it comes to grading papers. Take him, you won't regret it.
Fusco is a very nice teacher.BUT he only goes over like 2 hw problems.and if the class wants more he says hell do it after class.wich some cant cuz we have class and work.he teaches fast n if you dont get it he'll say to stay after class.its horrible.he does grades test fair.but only gives 4 test + final.wich is horrible.other teahchers give like 6
prof. fusco is hands down thebest math teacher i have ever had. he knows his stuff like the palm of his hand and shows you tons of tricks to make things easy to do and remember. atten. aint mandatory but if you dont go its your loss the clas is easy and tests are easy if you just do the hw, which aint for a grade. TAKE HIM!!!!
BEST EVER anyine who says hes a bad teacher, is just reaaaaly lazy. this guy makes everything a piece of cake, he goes over any problems you had on hw, you just have to ask. tests are easy, hw aint for a grade but do it and you will pass the test, quizzes are easy, and he grades tests soo fairly and gives partial credit. take him!
MR FUSCO IS A GREAT MATH TEACHER. I HAD 6 MATH TEACHERS AT BCC AND HES THE VERY BEST. FUNNY, ENTERTAINING, SHARP.. HE MAKES THINGS VERY CLEAR. HES ALSO CUTE..
WOW! this teacher is horrible ! takes his job way too seriously! you have to take labs every week and his class is super boring!!!!
Fusco is a decent teacher.He's clear and easy to understand, but he goes over things quickly and will sometimes make comments to make you feel stupid if you ask a question.He does help alot outside of class though.Overall decent teacher he doesnt check homework but if you dont do it youll get behind.I might take him again.
He is a good looking guy!! I learned a lot with him. He is a great instructor.
He is a good looking guy!! I learned a lot with him. He's clear and easy to understand.He is a great instructor.
Extremely helpful...highly recommened. I had already failed Stats one and learned so much in this class from him!!! Attendance & HW not mandatory but missing a day of class is missing 3 Chpts and not doing hw, you will fall behid! Funny guy and makes class interesting. Extremely helpful before, in if during and after class. And he's cute ;)
Just as a heads up... NOBODY ever take the online PreCal class with prof Fusco. He is a vindictive professor that sends you to the text whenever you need help. He refuses to meet with you at campus to help you in person. I am a straight A student and I try extremely hard in this course (usually putting in about 20-30 hours/ week just on his HW)
Professor Fusco is a great teacher. He explains everything clearly, but if you don't put effort you will fail. He gives you every opportunity to pas. The class isn't easy, but if you're willing so is he.
Nice guy but he means business. It's not an easy class so you have to put a lot of effort forward. Professor Fusco makes you earn the grade you get. He gives you the materials you need to pass so It's really important to do all the homework and review exercises.
Teaching style isn?t that great. HW didn?t correlate w/ (4)exams, Final was horrible. We had only 3 exams, last #2 very difficult. HW wasn?t for a grade, but really didn?t help on the tests. Very fussy and not too helpful. Deducted points for any&everything. Would not recommend to anyone. Unless you love math like a spouse.
Great Prof. I took him over summer and got an A. I loved the website he recommends. As long as you do the homework or website problems you will do good. Really enjoyed his class.
Not a good teacher, dont waste your time... I was frustrated to the point of withdrawal
I had him for MAC1105 and STA2023 and he's good at what he teaches. His grading is all tests. They aren't cumulative. He can explain things well and takes a lot of questions. I'd take him again.
Not very helpful at all. Tried to ask for help in his office and he basically laughed in my face. I tried going to tutoring & doing my work, but it did not help me. Don't bother taking him unless you just want to look at a pretty face for an hour.
Stats is a hard class. But this is a teacher who knows how to teach. He gives reviews and allows for HW questions in the beginning of class. As long as you put a good effort you will pass. And he is willing to help.
If you want to fail precal, then take his online class! Even the tutors at the lab said he doesn't know what he is doing because he sets problems no one can answer. Only allows the use of basic calculator not the ones that all or most professors require. Grades test hard and nothing is multiple choice not even the final!
I agree with previous comments that this professor's favorite letters are c's and d's. I should have never taken his class after reading some of these comments but I said let me give him the benefit of the doubt. BIG MISTAKE!! If you don't want to have to retake your precal please stay as far away from this professor as possible. RUN!!!
In ref. to summer C online course, there was an exorbitant amount of homework due weekly. 5 tests in all, inc/ a cumulative final. He gives practice tests, which helps; however, his actual tests will have a couple variations that aren't on the practice tests. An A is definitely possible for the student who doesn't mind and has time for hard work.
we used ALEKS, which is not straight forward. Even though we had an online orientation, there were still little things that I missed. He is not helpful online/over email. Unnecessary stress.
great teacher, not an easy a but the subject is hard so if youre lazy adn you want it handed to you dont take him if you want to actually learn math hes the man!!!
Unenthusiastic,sarcastic folk, boring class. He doesn't do much at class; we do aleks. He brought the example of the final test at the last class before the final!!Useless; the point of doing a review test is to bring questions to him about the exercises you couldn't solve BEFORE the final. Dissapointing. Dont take him. You will learn nothing.
Never been good at math. We used ALEKS. Problem with the program, is you can't really fall behind, and if you don't know it, big problem. The final must be passed with a 70 or above to pass the class. I always floated away with a D in high school. I passed this math, he's a great guy, funny, and I had fun. I think my friends made it fun for me.
He is great!! he's really helpful,cool,and definitely laidback!
He is an excellent professor I can honesty say I learned something. There are 3 test and a final put in some effort and you will pass.
Well, let me start off by saying, the course isn't easy. If you put your mind to it, then all the formulas make sense.Pay attention to the notes and how the questions are stated on tests and homework. Pro Fusco is willing to help, if your willing to ask.
Mr.Fusco is a laidback professor. I advise you that he is not easy. In his class there is no calculator use. If you want a good grade pay attention. There are four non-multiple choice tests and a final. H e can be rude and sarcastic. is big points in his class.
If you want to learn and truly understand what you are doing this teacher is who you want. He has a very clear, organized and systematic way of teaching No confusion involved when it comes to his teaching. Great teacher, will take him again for MAC1105 if he is available. Pay attention and do your hw and you will pass this class not problem.
Prof Fusco is a great professor. He is a nice guy and is good at explaining the material. I'm not very good at math but got a B in the class :) Just do the homework and go to him for help and you will do fine!
Doesnt make things clear,doesnt provide the best teaching assisstance. He expects use to do everything on Aleks, and know everything because of Aleks. For those who don't know Aleks it is a terrible math website. I think he would be much better off without Aleks.
He is a great professor. If you want the ideal professor this is it. You actually learn and have fun. This should be your first choice!
I really liked the fairly easy going attitude he had. He only took attendance once and that was it. As long as you aren't gone 4 days in a row you're fine. He explains well and takes things step by step but ultimately its up to you to practice so you pass.
I couldn't pass MAT1033... Had to take the bridge course that would allow me to take Statistics and Liberal Arts. Professor Fusco made it so easy to understand. It couldn't get any better than this. I got a B but it was my fault why i didn't get an A. Make sure you take him for any class he teaches I'm sure you will understand and pass.
Fantastic, clear and fair. Wants to see his students succeed. Put your phones away & pay attention!! If you've struggled with math in the past, take this class seriously and you will learn this material! Excellent professor!
This teacher made things so difficult. He does not care if you pass or fail. He does not care if you attend class or not. He completely ignored my emails to set up an appointment for extra help. Oh and Aleks ....A TERRIBLE PROGRAM. If you take this class expect to rely on aleks for all the help and don't expect to pass either
I took this class originally with another teacher but fusco took over. I am so disappointed. He is a terrible teacher and makes the material so hard to understand. He changes his ways for tests and gives you no partial credit. He only grades tests and no other work so you better be a good test taker! NOT RECOMMENDED
He's freaking awesome if you don't mind learning he sure don't mind teaching it. Take him and do your homework you won't have a problem.
HORRIBLE. Often can't answer homework questions HE assigned. Expects everyone to print & bring to class the ppt slides he lectures from& makes rude comments about those who don't, even though that much paper is expensive. Tests are inconsistent with homework & no half credit for anything. Clearly doesn't care if you pass/fail. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR.
I had mixed feelings about this professor the whole semester.He is alight.U need to do the homework to understand what is going on in class.Don't neglect the homework,it is ur only way of success in this class.test#2 was the hardest. there is only 4 grades in the class so there is no room for slacking off. You work for ur grade. Not an easy A.
I took him with Pre Statistics which I am glad I did because I am horrible in math and walked out with a B. Stats is hard but Fusco definitely did the best he could. Do your homework, it helps prepare for tests and work with him. It helps in the end if you struggle.
If you have a chance to take another teacher, do so. this teacher has no patience. if you ask him a question about what he just said, he give you this undermining tone till you get it. He only grades off of 4 tests, so if you have trouble on tests this is not the teacher for you. NO extra credit, he does not drop the lowest test grade.
Class is very challenging specially in the summer, he goes over everything so fast and it gets hard to keep up when you have so little time. He is an ok professor but you need to put a lot of your time into hmwrk and studying for this class alone.
Fusco is amazing! Best math professor I've ever had. You have to work for it but he makes everything so easy to understand. He explains everything perfectly well and spends extra time with you if you need it. I wasn't good at math before taking his class but I am so much better now! Fusco saved my life !
I'm currently enrolled but I regret choosing this professor. You pretty much have to teach yourself the curriculum. He goes really fast, he gets annoyed if you ask for help, & he expects you to know things at the top of your head. Grades are only determined by 4 tests. NO EXTRA CREDIT, no reviews for tests. Good luck if you choose this professor.
At first I was scared because of his rating here, but other classes didn't fit my schedule. All I can say is that he will help as long as you show your max effort. If you slack all term, and during the last chapters you want to put in the effort you didn't put all semester, he will be sarcastic. I got an A in his class because I asked questions.
When I read some of the reviews before the class, I was scared. In highschool I never made anything higher than C but Professor Fusco is a nice guy and he's a good teacher. ask a question and he will answer it and make sure you understand. Honestly, I barely attended class but I suggest you attend. that's part of the final grade. I got a B though.
I'm currently taking and regret choosing this professor. Horrible, gets annoyed if you ask for help, & he expects you to know things at the top of your head. Grades are only determined by 4 tests. NO EXTRA CREDIT, no reviews for tests. Good luck if you choose this professor.
Has strict rules he abides by but cares for his students. If you didn't drop your class you still have a chance to pass.. He replaces your lowest grade with the grade you got on your final. Work hard and pay attention and ask questions and you'll pass. Attendance is part of your grade. Lecture done in power point need to print out all the handouts.
Professor Fusco wants everyone to do well in his class. He was always willing to help with questions. There is a lot of work, but the practice really helped me do well on the exams. I think he was very fair and helpful.
This class is easy if you have the time outside of class to really learn the material. I work full time, so the class was difficult for me. It is very fast paced, so attendance is important. Asking questions is a little intimidating because he will usually look at you like your question is stupid.
Great teacher ! Goes over homework at the beginning of every class & available outside of class. We had 4 test + a final, lowest test grade I got was a B. Takes attendance every day! As long as you put in work you will receive an A. One of the best math teachers I've taken.
Lectures are BASED off a calculator. So basically he will tell you exactly what to type in and hit "enter" to get you answer BUT i didn't LEARN anything. The online homework marks things wrong when they are correct FREQUENTLY. When we get to class he tells us the homework is teaching us WRONG. So curriculum ends up being even more confusing.
This class isn't that easy, he gives homework and the homework is mostly the same as the test. He ask if there's any questions on the homework before each class. If you ask for help he helps you. He does say that you must study at home to fully understand. He teaches you the Basic but the rest of the learning you learn on your own.
I would recommend this professor for STA2023. I enjoyed his class and ended with an A, even though I usually struggle with math. Make sure you complete all the homework assignments, it will reallyyyy help with passing the exams!
Prof Fusco is a phenomenal teacher. He teaches you how to solve a problem several different ways and you can choose the method that works for you. He was very patient when answering repetitious questions and always answered questions for the first 15 minutes of class. You must attend class and do the assigned homework and non-graded questions.
Gives way too much homework! He thinks everyone is a math major! Complete waste of time! Grading is ridiculous! Stay away other professor go straight to what is needed to learn, this one beats around the bush teaches nonsense! Boring! He needs to retire!
Worst professor ever!!! Talks talks talks!! Teaches off the wall just reads power points!!
When I was looking for a teacher for Trig and saw that he had great reviews for other classes and not trig, I got a little scared. Then when I went to class, on the first day he said the he was a little nervous because this was new material for him too. O.o He wasn't really good at teaching trig, very confusing and his tests were very hard for me.
Would not recommend for anyone who struggles grasping math concepts at a fast rate.
To Be Honest, He's an expert in math. However, good teachers are required to have great teaching skills which make sure students are understand what he or she was trying to explain. I'd say you'll probably fail if you got no talent at math
If you are straight out of high school and taking college algebra, I don't recommend taking this professor at all. You have to teach yourself and he makes LOTS of mistakes when doing work in class so it makes the class extremely confusing !
Not a good professor! Very confusing as well
I should of withdraw from the start!
Great Professor for STA2023. You can't be lazy or slack off in this class. You must practice and do the homework. He answers all questions step by step at the beginning of class and during the lecture. 3 tests, a final (not cumulative) and gives a fair amount of hw. He even gives review problems for the text. Overall I would recommend him.
He's the worst teacher ever ! He made me hate math
You basically do one chapter per class, so it's very easy to keep up with. You take notes and then do the online hw that same night or at least before the next class so it's still fresh in your brain. You can take the online hw as MANY times as you want so there is absolutely NO reason you shouldn't get straight 100s. Focus on actually knowing it.
I took this class over the summer so it was a bit fast paced. one section per class. pop quizzes daily and hw to go alone with each section. Professor fusco takes his time to explain stuff in class and even goes around the whole class making sure everyone understands. As long as you pay attention in class you and practice you should be fine.
Took as 8 week summer course for college Algebra. The most important thing to do in this class is the ungraded homework. I didn't take it serious at first and didn't do it and got a 70. For the next two test I did the ungraded questions and got A's on both of them. DO THE UNGRADED HW. It's the key to passing.
This professor is a good teacher however he is very rude. He treats students as if they were 5 year olds. If you can get passed an annoying personality then you should take him.
He's so rude and doesn't even understand the material he's teaching, do not take him.
He moves way too quickly and just assumes people will understand the material immediately. He's pretty rude to be honest and makes you feel uncomfortable if you have a question, but then gets mad when nobody asks questions saying "this isn't a spectator sport". Yeah, I just don't recommend him.
Do not take this teacher if you don't like all your test to be free response, don't want credit credit, or need hw to help your grade. Gives bull notes that barely help, he don't even Grade hw so don't waste your time. If you don't care about your GPA do not take this class. If you aren't amazing at math DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
Professor Fusco is amazing. You have to put in the effort for your grade, you are completely responsible for the grade you end up with in his class. If you dont do the textbook homework then you wont do good on the test. He is a great professor, hes always willing to answer questions. He gives pop quizzes. Would take for any math class available
I don't recommend this prof. He has a cold demeanor, makes your feel dumb when you ask questions. Skips many steps because he expects you yo know the material. If you can dedicate 8 hours a day to his class then you should pass.
Took his class and had to eventually had withdraw because I was failing. It was my fault for not keeping up with aleks and I just suck at math in general. Even though I had to withdraw I do recommend him. Make sure you keep up with ALEKS and be prepared for pop quizzes! Make sure you ask him for help if you are unsure of something. He will help u
I'll highly recommend him. He's a good prof. However he goes fast. If you are used to do whatever tou want in class don't take him. If you wanna be good and improve so take the challege. I like the wait he teaches and I'll take another class with him.
had him for MAC1105. Great professor. Gives 4 tests. He teaches all the steps without skipping even though he tends to go a little fast. I would def recommend him because he does go the extra mile for his students. Attendance is important as well as homework. Gives pop quizzes but fairly easy.
At first, the class was pretty difficult as the class is more about concept than your traditional math. Make sure, you do his test reviews! again make sure you do his test reviews! Do those and you will do good on his tests. His final exam was very easy. His humor can be sarcastic at times which I didn't mind at all. Also, avoid Casio Calculators.
He locks the door the second class starts and wont let you in until 15 minutes after class starts. He also give pop quizzes during that time so make sure you are never late. He doesn't grade any homework so the only grades you will get are for the quizzes and tests.
If youre bad at math dont take him. Moves very quickly. Answers questions too quickly. Very strict in timing. Very strict on attendance. Makes you hate the class. VERY sarcastic. Dropped him the first couple weeks in because passing is a mission.
If the average grade of the class is an A, he will make tests more difficult. He wants us to struggle. (No pain, no gain) He will not make it easy. But if you can pass his class, you will be prepared for any math to come.
Cool dude
6 wk summer class.3rd time taking the class(diff. professors).Actually learned w/ him & I suck at math. Takes the time to teach step by step though he can go a little fast. 4 tests,final, & mylabs due 2 days after class usually. Pop quizzes first 15 mins, wont let u in till after & u cant make it up. Take notes in class & youll be fine. He's great!
Extremely condescending! He doesn't get that math DOES NOT come naturally to students who struggle with it to begin with. No study guide or helpful notes to pass the class decently. Take Prof. Galland instead. She understands students needs and accommodates accordingly. Hope Fusco gets fired!
This professor is the worse. He said that we can not go to the bathroom, can not use your phone, can not talk. His class is like you are back to hight school. Also, the class is so boring . DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.
Mr Fusco was great this semester Im not sure what all the reviews had an issue with. If I can think of anything its that he has pop quizzes almost every week after the first few classes but this is only because without showing up to class at bare minimum you will not pass the class. A great (and pretty funny) professor if you give him the chance.
He is strict, so arrive to his class on time. Unless you want to wait outside for 15 minutes because he will lock the door if you are late to class. He gives a lot of quizzes, so dont skip his classes. He gives good feedbacks. You are not allowed to use the restroom, to talk, and to be on the phone. There a four test, and a final exam.
He is a fantastic math teacher, I've never been more engaged in learning math before him. He explains things I was confused about in middle school and helps me to understand math completely, I highly recommend him if you care about learning.
He doesnt have a flexible instruction and he doesnt show enough explanation on every step
This professor is very strict and he doesn't give extra credits. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS.
He uses his class to prepare students for the real world, hence locking doors if late. He matches the effort you put towards learning the material and genuinely cares about your success. Take advantage of his office hours if needed. He taught me there's many ways to find a solution, which I've applied to every aspect of my life.
ALEKS taught me the majority of what i learned in this class, If you dont understand something he gets frustrated & treats you like an idiot- barely explains. No phones out whatsoever or hell throw a fit & No tardiness. He treats the class as if youre in highschool & if you fall asleep expect snarky remarks. Wish i wouldve known this so YW!
Prof Fusco tries to be reasonable with students. He doesn't want you to fail but doesn't understand not everyone grasps math quickly. His "help" is office hours and lowest quiz grade drop. Your grade is the quizzes and final mainly. Zero extra cred opportunities so beware if you're not a good test taker... Good person but wouldn't take again!
He isnt a bad teacher at all, I just wish he would give us more opportunities to bring our grade up because the tests and Final are the only things that make a huge difference on your grade. So if you arent a great test taker dont take his class.
He is fast paced but he is open to questions and does want to help the students. The tests are hard if you don't study, but if you do the review on ALEKS you will pass. Study and you will pass the class. There is no extra credit but like I said, if you put in the work, you won't need it. I enjoyed the class and would recommend.
I enjoyed the lectures and he is open to any questions you may have, and will take his time answering them. Will definitely take again.
Don't take him!!! He says yea ask questions but then answers in a sarcastic or rude manner. His class is long and you learn 2 up to 3 topics each class. The aleks course work is a heavy load. The test are hard and you don't get enough time to prepare for them. Find a better professor he's the Worst.
This professor is who made me like math again. He's really helpful but you have to be willing to ask for help. And dont expect an easy grade because you have to work for it. He's a little lenient for deadlines if he knows you'll do the work. I've taken a lot of his math classes and he's made every class easy as long as you pay attention.
IF U NEED A SIGN TO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESOR, THIS IS IT! I began this class w/ confidence, he squashed it & made me confused. Many tests, HUGE part of ur grade & ALOT of hw but barely part of ur grade. Explains vry difficult & if u dare to ask a question he treats u like u are dumb. I retoke this class another professor & he made me love math again.
Do not take him! I received a semi good grade because I taught myself everything in my math lab. His lectures do not help not one bit. If you ask him a question, he treats you like you are not smart and responds in a rude matter. NEVER taking this professor again!!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please DO NOT take this class. if you thought you math was decent think again. there's only 4 tests which is more than half of your grade. If you pass this class its because you taught yourself or you already have an understanding of this material. He seems like a nice person but do yourself a favor a choose YOUR gpa.
DONT TAKE HIS CLASS. He only grades two things, the 5 exam tests (one of them is the final) and the homework (which is ALOT) He goes through the lecture very fast and doesn't take the time to explain the materials. He answers questions in a rude manner almost like he's tired of explaining it or he expects us to KNOW the material right away.
Be ready for so much homework. If you think you can get it done the night before the test, your wrong. It takes hours to finish an assignment. You need to put lots of effort to study. He is fair though, and he does take time to answer everyone's questions.
If you struggle in math, you have your work cut out. He cares and wants the class to succeed, but his lectures tend to be rushed due to the many topics to cover in one class. I recommend taking advantage of his office hours. He assigns hw for every lesson but it doesnt really prepare you for the tests, so get ready to study hard to get your grade.
This professor is so rude, he always has some witty comments to make you feel bad. He doesn't explain good. When I ask him to explain something he does it fast and I don't get it. I'm passing with a B because of me not because of him I was struggling hard in this class. He made me wanna cry in class he's really rude.
He is not a very good professor when it comes to learning the material, he follows the text given and you are expected to learn that way. He is very nice however, when it comes to an explanation or a little more help, he does not seem happy that he needs to reiterate something to better explain it. I do not recommend unless you are strong in math.
Hello writer, this professor is a tough grader, his class is not so hard. I have two problems with him; first, he is terrible grader. Second, he doesn't car at all if you falls behind. He only say if you found math like Mac1105 or... hard, change the major. He is so fast with his class, don't take him if you're struggle in math.
He doesn't care about students, and do not take this professor if you are struggling with math.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He is probably one of the worst professors/teachers I have ever had. He doesn't care about his students and doesn't care if his students understand the material. He seems like he doesn't even want to be there. Also, he gives way to much work and throws things at you right before a test because he is behind.
Prof. Fusco is extremely fair, organized, and has great communication. Deadlines are well laid out, he promptly posts announcements, and HE GIVES YOU EVERY TEST BACK! The bad: His lectures are pretty boring and he tends to read directly off of the slides/handouts, which can be very tedious in math. Attendance is taken - but not detrimental.
He's very condescending and believes you should 1) know everything before hand and 2) Understand what he lectures instantly. He encourages questions but I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic when he does because when you do ask a question he answers but with this rude little laugh/attitude, the course work itself is also very hectic.
Professor Fusco's class is challenging, but engaging. He expects a lot, but is willing to help if you reach out. unstuck study ai and the textbook are great study tools to supplement his fast-paced lectures.
teaches fast and acts like we already know alot. Gives you so alot of informations and barely gives you time to prepare for test
Very fast teacher, so be sure to study afterward. I was out of school for 3 years and returned, starting with calc, and surprised myself with a B. He will expect you to know things that have been taught in prerequisite classes, so brush up! Ask him to clarify things if you don't understand or you'll be lost. He is willing to help and work with you!
Professor Fusco is the best teacher I've ever had. He cares about his students, and his lectures are always clear and easy to understand. He's firm but always makes sure his students make an effort. I highly recommend him.
on our most recent test, he said he was very disappointed in our scores. he also said we scored better on what the sub taught us vs the whole unit he went over. He's judgemental and condescending when you ask questions. I think he's insecure about his bald spot and doesn't like me because I have a head of luscious curly hair.
Great Professor whose goal is to TEACH math and not memorize for the test. He's genuinely funny as well. He likes to show real world applications of what you're learning. Only bad thing is that there is a lot of homework but he gives you a lot of time to complete it and no late work is accepted only early work lol
He was negative, spoke down on the students. He teaches one time and expects you to come back to class, learned it, and then teaches something new. Cannot miss a class or will fall behind. I passed because of memory, not my teacher. No extra credit, you need to pass all tests/final with a minimum of a C and do all the Aleks or you will fail.
This was the worst class I have taken at BC so far. Its incredibly difficult and you will be teaching yourself the entire time. Prepare to spend weeks upon weeks studying these "Test reviews" just for it to be nothing like the actual test. Lectures and Hw are also nothing like the tests. Snarky teacher that will leave you no time for other classes.
He has profound knowledge of his course, but he just needs to practice a little bit patience with his students, His good!
PLEASE TAKE THIS AS YOUR SIGN TO NOT TAKE HIM! you will be teaching yourself he does not help at all. He is not caring towards his students if you ask a question he'll show you attitude. The tests are the worst part, most of it wasn't even taught. Choose P. Reinaldo at BC north instead, choose your GPA y'all All the best!
His class is more about understanding the concepts. A good professor. It's just that the class has a shorter session, so you have to learn quicker and be more attentive, but overall, you just have to give effort. The only thing I didn't like was the overlap of the lessons, but there was a time constraint, so it's hard to criticize.
Do not take him you if you're not excellent in math. He is really tough grader and he can take away your grade from A to C or D. He doesn't really care about his students, I really hate his class.
Professor Fusco wasn't that great at explaining concepts, even when asking questions. The class was also pretty fast paced, but this was probably cause it was 6 weeks long. Maybe if the session was longer it would've been easier to understand. He's not rude or anything like that but personally I wouldn't take him again.
