I think he is a great teacher

Easy class if you do the homework and the practise tests.

He gave me a B when I totally deserved a C, thus making me an honors student. He's awesome.

Great guy. He is a little dry but wants you to learn. The BIGGEST thing is the practice exams. Take them, know them and study them. If you follow this you will ace this class.

very good teacher

To make something VERY clear: his class is so easy and it is NOT true that he doesn't prepare you for the tests - he gives out practise exams!!! If you do them you will get an A. If people think his tests are impossible they did not pay attention and did not study!!!

Basically, i could not make it more simple than this: He is a great teacher! A lot of the comments say, "he didnt GIVE me an A" OF COURSE HE DIDNT!! Well, guess what he wants you to learn. Oh what a bad teacher he is. I learned everything i know from him! But, alot of people dont really care about learning they just want the grade handed to them!!!

I find Math really boring but he makes it so easy to pass his class. IF you happen to miss the class all the notes are online so you can get to them. He also gives you a practice test and shows you exactly whats going to be on the test.

He is a good teacher...not the most fun class its rather boring but this guy knows his stuff and he gives you practice tests with all the test info on it! Good class!

The sweetest guy around, intelligent, but his ability to teach everyone is limited. Homework is optional. You'll enjoy the ease of the course if you are good in math. However, you might end up more confused if you are not.

was one of the best math professors i have had at pbcc was very helpful and his practice tests were exactly like the exam

I think, he is by far one of te best instructors in this college. The others, all they do collect pay check, he is one of the few still cares for the student. If you are looking for easy A do not take him, if you want to learn the subject, then take him.

Nice guy, decent teacher. Is a little bit of a weirdo. His tests can be sort of tricky and he doesn't always put on the test what he says he will. His saving grace is that his grading system will allow you to slide by and still get a decent grade. Would reccomend but be careful and GO TO CLASS.

Took him for finite math. Math is hard for me, but he made it easy. Went at a pace that everyone kept up with, explained all questions. He really loved math, in a scary way sometimes, but he wanted you to love it to. Very nice and helpful. Best math teacher I've had at PBCC. He was also very organized and he really knew all of the material.

Great teacher who really cares about his students. Math is really hard for me, but with his pace and explainations, it was made a little easier. He'll help you out in what ever way he can. I definatly recommend his class!

Nice guy. So far, so good. You don't have to do the homework. But the homework, is were you get the repetition needed to pass the tests.

crappy prof if you take his class you better know your stuff. grades only test on HW all you need to know is online you dont even need to be a wake in his clsss just go online get the test review and notes.

I am definitely not a math person, but actually enjoyed his class. He does not hand out A's, I had to work my tail of to get it. This is how good teachers get their students to learn - isn't that the point?! I'm now taking finite math with a guy who barely speaks English - I miss Prof Siniscalchi! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

In any class, you get out of it what you put into it. In this class, if you pay attention, and do the work, you will get the material. It's that simple. The prof has an easy clear-cut presentation style that makes the topics clear. If expect a one-on-one Q&A session during each class, forget it. Go back to high school.

Had him for Liberal Arts math. This was by far the easiest math course I've taken in years. I really don't understand the complaints about him, he always answered everyone's questions and even offered help outside of class to those who needed it. Your grade is based on the tests, so make sure you know the material. He is not strict about attendance

i took him for liberal arts math. Do your homework and youll do good. he dosent check it but you should do it

This guy is a little weird but his class is easy you take 4 test which determine your grade all you have to do is go to class and do the review sheets he gives you before the test, the tests are exactly like the review this class is easy i dont see how you can get anything less than a C

Not very charismatic, but a very nice man who loves math. Has powerpoints that show step by step solutions. Provides practice tests, and most tests questions come right from the practice tests. You have to do the homework even though he doesn't check it because the practice helps. Ask questions if you don't understand. I got an A in this class.

I took him at LW campus, but I am posting here to defend him. You have to do the homework and you have to ask questions if you're confused. He's very helpful. He gives practice tests and the test questions are exact duplicates. Do the practice tests and the homework and you will pass this class. I got an A in this class, and I am NOT a math person!

His teaching skills are wonderful. He is well prepared but you must, AND I SAY MUST DO THE HW!!! (It only helps you) *You take 4 Test that determine your grade and the Finial EXAM replaces your lowest EXAM grade. He is extremely helpful, very calm composure, -very nice to be around and tells a joke every once and a while. -Great Professor!

He is a great teacher. Easy to listen to and a fun class to take.

Great professor. One of PBCC's best. Complainers probably didn't even try. If you practice the homework and do the practice tests, you will pass. He always answers questions and even stays after class to help if you're confused. Take this prof..he knows his stuff.

He's a very nice guy. He always answers questions and he wants everyone to understand. Stays on topic and explains clearly. Couldn't have had a better math teacher.

I randomly picked Siniscalchi my first semester in college. At first, I wasn't sure about him but then I realized how easy his class is. The in-class portion is online in Powerpoint and he doesn't care about homework or attendance. His reviews are exactly like the tests and mostly multiple choice! He's a nice guy too. I'm taking him for MAC1105!

my favorite teacher. He made math so enjoyable and easy to understand he goes slow and steady and if you print out the notes online you are bound to do really well. He is crystal clear and even gives a whole class period before the exam for review. He is so nice and cares so much about his students. He is such a wonderful intelligent caring teacher

He is a good teacher! A little quiet, but overall super nice and helpful. The class is very easy as long as you attend class and pay attention. You don't need the book, he leaves one in the library on reserve if you absolutly need it. Easy A!

Those people rating professor siniscalchi poorly must be the same people who rate my political science teacher so well. Siniscalchi puts in a ton of effort into his class, and has obviously put in alot of time. Powerpoints for math can be tricky, but he makes it work marvelously. He will reciprocate your effort, an A for an A, an F for an F.

siniscalchi is a prof that i will never 4get because he contrubute a lot for my college education. Some lazy student keep thinking that the proffesor have to push a button to let them know everything they have to know without doing any effort hoooooo no if you are one of them, plz take you away from because its not going to get you nowhere

I don't know what any of the other people are smoking, but this professor knows his stuff, explains it so clearly, and is ALWAYS willing to help. I'm taking him now for summer A and he is such a sweetheart. He lets you go home early and attendance is not mandatory. He has a prac test for every test and they match almost exactly. Great Teacher!

Great Math Teacher!! A very nice teacher that really cares if you learn the material. He wants everyone to succeed. He is very helpful and will stay after class with you until you understand. Do the work and you'll get the grade!! I refuse to take any other math courses unless its with him...

This guy is really nice. He wants everyone to succeed and tries his hardest to make sure they do. However, he does use power-points, instead of teaching the material. But he goes over it again and again and again until you get it. He makes sure you understand before moving on and encourages questions. Also, he loves to tell stories about math.

okay teacher , but a lot of independant work.no hmwk but ur test grades are pretty much ur finall grade .I would really hope he had gone over the review the test as a class prbly would of improved manny grades

Great professor!! Extremely helpful. He does not check homework but if you don't do it, it'll probably show on your test grade.

Reading through all of these ratings it becomes apparent that the students who rated Prof. S. poorly are the immature, rude, entitled children who behave like they are still in high school. Grow up already!

Prof. S was a great professor, I am appalled at the bad ratings people are giving him. He cares about his students, if you have a question he will answer it for you. If math isn't your thing then admit to that, but don't blame the prof for your lack of understanding. He teaches through pp which I think is great, all of his lessons are online.

Such a helpful teacher. He knows his stuff. Go to class, print the notes and follow a long. study! you'll do fine. the book is not needed unless you like to review like that. if you do the reviews before the test you are good to go. :) I'd take him again.

I took Prof. Siniscalchi for Liberal Arts Math and Finite Mathematics. I'm awful at math but he made me feel like a mathematician. He's extremely helpful. No homework, but your 4 tests (with an optional final) comprise your entire grade, so show up to class and don't screw around. If you're not a complete moron, you'll pass.

He definitely cares and is willing to stay after class and answer any and all questions.I would take him again.

easy! i hardly ever showed up but i looked over the lessons online and did some practice problems from homework and always did the practice tests. your grade is comprised solely of tests but they are taken straight from homework/practice tests so as long as you feel comfortable with those you will be fine.

Fantastic Teacher! Homework is optional & there are only 4 tests & 1 final, which is also optional. Test reviews are incredibly helpful. The negative reviews on here must be from complete morons or individuals who don't come to class, because he is fantastic and really loves what he does. If you aren't an idiot, you'll be capable of a good grade.

i love this class so much because he is very easy for students. Before any tests, he has review sheets, just follow it and practice all of them , and you can get high score on this class. He very helpful and willing ask your questions . Good professor !!!

One of my favorite teachers at Palm Beach State. If you take notes and study the review sheets, you will do great on his tests. Homework is optional. Thank you Professor Siniscalchi for being so helpful and always having a smile on your face.

Easy A, homework is suggested but not required, pay attention and you pass.

The best math professor on the Gardens Campus.

Nice man Very patient Has a very positive attitude towards life which overflows into his love for the subject. Instilled calm in someone who is very anxious in math Encouraged me to stick with it Amost dropped out every day.

If anyone tells you this class is hard, they are lying and probably don't care to learn or pass. This was such a breeze for me and I hateee math! Homework is optional, there are only 4 tests and if you pass all 4 of them you don't have to take the final. They're exactly like the review packets so you'll be okay. =]

Prof. S. is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and a "Must Take". He explains things very well with a tried and true method in class, and has downloadable notes and practice tests which help tremendously. Missing classes will hurt though because the material takes a long time to explain, even for him.This class isn't easy, but is very fair

Very Nice Man!! Cares about his students and will be you achieve success.

He's always smiling! He gives you everything you need to succeed and to truly understand math. He encourages questions and he always has a piece of wisdom about life that I think is so cool. Pay attention & you will get an A! Lots of resources, reviews & prepping for tests.

Professor Siniscalchi is the best teacher I've ever had at PBSC. His teaching style is really paced and the way he explains the sections is clear and easy to understand. Plus, he loves what he's doing! He's always smiling and leaves a lot of time after class to answer your questions. He's a MUST TAKE!

I really don't know why he is getting such bad reviews. He's a really nice guy and makes it pretty easy to get a god grade. Just show up and study for the tests. Not too hard

I like his teaching style, and he is a good teacher. I could see how his personality could be creepy to some people.

I honestly had no idea what his name was the entire semester. however, I enjoyed taking this class. Once you adapt to his teaching style, it gets easier. STUDY STUDY STUDY FOR ALL OF THE TEST. He will try and work with you if you have to miss a test day. (test in lab) OVERALL I LOVED HIS CLASS! I GOT AN "A" while working full time. Its very doable.

super helpful, kind, and caring.

The class grades are basically just the tests, so you have to do well on those. He gives practice tests to help study and they are extremely similar to the actual test! I'm really bad at math but passed his class with an A. He's always smiling, cares a lot about his students, and clearly enjoys teaching! Taking him again next semester

This was the first year I actually learned how to do math and I am sad that I can't take a class with him this upcoming semester

Siniscalchi is a super sweet guy and very helpful. His lectures are a little long and kind of boring. The homework is not mandatory but it's suggested that you do it even though he'll never collect it. All of his tests are multiple choice so a scantron is needed. No required textbook either.

He's the sweetest professor I have ever had. The only grades you receive are test grades, and you have the opportunity to use the final in place of your lowest test grade. The tests are pretty hard but he does give out a thorough study guide. Go to the math lab if need be. If you don't understand walking into the test you'll definitely fail.

i just finished taking his class MGF1106 and it was great ! there is no hw just 5 test he starts from the hardest chapter then finishes with the easiest! you need to study its math you have to practice it ! he gives you test review packets and if you do them you will pass the test for sure! i even got a 104% on his last test ! i would recommend !

TAKE HIM! He is very easy, great teacher and he cares. Book not required. Highly recommend.

This professor was so nice and explained everything so well to me. I usually stress out over math but he really encouraged me to want to do well. I'd take him again in a heartbeat! I wish he taught some of the other credit classes I need.

fair, he was very clear on his grading criteria He assigns HW but it doesn't count for a grade it does help though so i suggest doing the HW book wasn't used in class but you need it for the homework. there are helpful practice tests but you can't just count on that to pass. very nice, caring, answers questions each lesson is important! don't miss

Can't believe the critics I'm reading here. If you fail, it's YOUR fault, nothing else. My English isnt excellent, and I was the worst student in my class with maths in my country (avg 30%). Was very scared to fail when I started this class, but I listened to the teacher and worked at home, I ended this class with an average of 99%. Best Teacher!!

Know your basic math from high school and you should be fine. He might give you a quiz every time you have classes with him however, he goes through what will be covered on those before the quiz. Great teacher.

If you fail this class it really is your own fault. I am someone who really struggles with math, but I passed this class with an A. If you DO THE PRACTICE TESTS enough times you'll get an A on the tests. His test are usually only about 10 questions. Yes, he smiles a lot, but he's a happy guy. I wish I was as happy as him.

Professor Siniscalchi was by far the best math professor I've ever had. I struggle heavily in the subject but he truly makes it his mission to have the class understand. He smiles all the time and some students in the past have made fun of him for it which is awful! He's a wonderful teacher and man. 10/10 would recommend - DO THE PRACTICE TESTS!

Powerpoints are very clear on the material. Material was easy so I never needed to do the homework to understand the material and pass the tests. The grade you get is determined by 5 tests (if you take all 5, you don't have to take the final exam). Nice guy, wonderful teacher. I'd definitely take him again.

A very soft spoken guy who really knows his chemistry. He is always available when you need help with homework, upcoming quizzes/exams etc. He is very work oriented when it comes to homework, quizzes, and exams because he wants to make sure you understand the material. Great professor, recommend him to everyone especially if you struggle with Chem

He is the best math teacher I have ever had. He saved my relationship with math. Very sweet and kind and he breaks down the information well for the students through simple PowerPoints and explanations.

I was afraid to take chemistry as I have never taken a chemistry course. Professor Siniscalchi made chemistry interesting, fun, and as easy to understand as possible! He created a love of chemistry in me. Show up, do all homework, pay attention, and you will pass! Amazing Professor! Available if you need help. Great lectures! The absolute best!

There will be a short quiz every class, but if you stay the whole class time at the end he tells you what questions will be on there. There is hw every class but he goes over more than half of it in class. He has lecture videos posted online, and he's a tutor so he can work with you one on one. He's very passionate and caring.

This professor is amazing! He loves chemistry and he's super detailed in explaining any hard concepts. Please take him. Quiz or test every class. Has videos on homework problems. Homework is similar to exams.

Amazing professor !!!! TAKE HIMMMMM

Professor Siniscalchi is one of the best professors I've had so far. He offers extra credit on the test by completing the practice packets which will help you significantly on the test. He also has videos for every question on the practice packet making it ALOT easier to learn the material. Take him you will NOT regret it.

Talks very quiet, but is very nice. No mandatory homework, only grades in the class are tests that are between 10-14 questions each. He sometimes skips steps when explaining problems but if you ask he will go over it.

Plain and simple Tim is the best professor/instructor i've ever had in my life. This is not to be taken lightly. Tim will teach you the material and will do so masterfully. his homework will give the more the enough practice to do exemplary of the exams, and above all things he is fair. TIM IS THE IDEAL PROFESSOR PERIOD.

Professor Siniscalchi is THE best professor I have ever had. He puts his time and effort into the homework/study guide in order for us not to have to buy a book. His online videos go along with the homework and if you follow his day-by-day study plan, youre guaranteed to learn the material. If youre taking a class this hard, you want him. Amazing.

Professor Siniscalchi is the best chemistry professor at palm beach state. IF you go to his office hours, do the pdf homework packets and watch his video lectures you will get an A. Hes an easy A if youre not lazy. Not to mention that he really prepares you for biochem. Also dont forget to do extra practice problems from the book he recommends.

Tim is a really caring professor I took Orgo 1 and 2 with him when he first started teaching. He took so much time out his day to make videos going over the homework problems. If you ACTUALLY do the homework packets you should pass. Orgo is a tough subject solely and Tim tries his best to make as understandable as possible

Professor Sinisscalchi made the challenging information possible to learn. He genuinely cares about his students and is on your side. He puts clear notes online to follow. Thank you!!!

Prof. Siniscalchi provides plenty of resources to help you learn this very difficult subject. This is my third time taking this class; I wouldn't have passed without his homework videos and test outlines. The videos aren't required, so skim through if you're short on time. If you get a better grade on the final, it can replace two test scores.

I would definitely take his class again. His lectures are not long, usually lets you leave an hour and a half early, but you're welcomed to stay if you have questions or want to work on homework with him. He has pre-recorded lessons on each section and does not require you to be in class you can join on zoom live while he's teaching. Hw is optional

Easy going professor and easy class. I barely showed up to his class, attendance is based on easy quizzes. I can't say this enough, take the class! Prof Siniscalchi is so kind and gentle and he explains things very well. Wish I could take all my math classes with him. I could've gotten an A if I didn't forget to take the tests and quizzes.

Make sure you do all Quizzes and tests by 11:59pm. I passed with a C. A lot of lectures on canvas where you have access to at all times. Homework was optional, but very helpful.

I took a risk and took him. He tells you what's on the exams. His exam questions are literally the hw problems or something like it. There are 12 exams, but that increases your chances of passing and recovering from bad grades. His quizzes are unlimited attempts and they show you the correct answers after. To pass do the homework/hw videos.

Only 5 tests which are your grades for the entire semester. He will do meetings and explain what you did wrong but sometimes the tests and quizzes (for no credit) are harder than what you actually learn. However, most test questions are taken from the quizzes. No extra credit.

Professor Siniscalchi was a great professor. This class consists on videos to learn the material, quizzes, and five tests which will pretty much determine your final grade. As long as you pay attention, understand the material, and do well on the tests this is an easy course and the math is pretty much a review of basic high school math.

Took online Spring B course (1 month course). 5 test equate to total grade. There are quiz and homework assignments that are NOT included in the final grade but are MANDATORY. Quiz and Homework assignments are NOT long. They prepare you for the upcoming test. The assignments are timed perfectly and not overwhelming. Would take professor again.

I technically didn't have him in college, I had him in high school, but personally he was one of my favorite teachers. He was fair, kind, and understanding. The amount of times I turned in late work, I feel bad that I made him grade it all but he cared more that I was learning and that I just got it done before it was too late to. 10/10

Definitely a tough class, but the professor's videos and resources helped me stay on top of the material. Though the exams were tricky, using unstuck study ai along with the textbook really boosted my understanding. Overall, a challenging but rewarding experience.

He was beautiful.
