Avoid him for this class! I had to drop this class at the beginning of the semester because of the crazy amount of work listed in the syllabus. Sure, it's a 4 credit W class, but it was only doable if that was the only class you were taking.

If you want to do well in this course, you have to be absolutely dedicated from the start. If you do poorly on even one assignment, your grade is tanked. Even worse, his assignments are convoluted and difficult to follow. Not very in touch with the class either.

Truly a great professor. Just do what you are asked and you will get a good grade. I thought it was going to be difficult, but it truly wasn't. If you have any questions you can email him or ask it in a discussion board; he is always there to help.

Prof Furnari is very clear on what he expects. 3 tests, 10 labs, and weekly discussion boards which are just to post a question about the material and to answer someone else's question. Very straight forward, but you do have to teach yourself. Just do all the work on time and you'll be good!

Comment:
DON'T TAKE HIM!!!! It's very difficult to pass his class. His grading criteria are very tough. He doesn't give you any extra credit even if you want to improve. If you can't avoid him, then you have to put your 200% on this class. If you really have to take him then go to tutoring from Day 1. Don't fail an exam. He is very slow with emails too.

Comment:
An online class is not an easy A. Don't take him if you have never taken any online class before. He is not good with emails. 3 exams and each worth 23 percent. His lectures are just powerpoint slides with no audio. You have to teach yourself the materials. Stick to a good tutor since the first day of class if you really want to get a good grade.

great professor! very clear & straight forward in what he wants! he explains things so well it was rare for me to even ask for help. this was an online statistics class which i thought would be hard but turned out amazing! he does make you come in for 3 sundays to take the test but its ONLY 3 days! take him you will get an A if you do what he says!

Prof. Furnari skyped in with another teacher present in the room. Sounds like a bit of a crazy setup but it worked great cuz these guys work great together. Writing intensive but both professors helped a lot along the way. Recommend!!

Prof. Furnari was the best. He taught class in a comfortable settng and was explicit. (he should be a motivational speaker)the first day I thought he was the student. Simply adorable, his parents must be very proud of him. a very very very interesting class, challenging for me but I hung on in there as he made you want to come back.

Friday night at QC has never been so interesting. He makes class fun, and enjoyable so you feel like you are not there!!! If you read the books, do all assignments, ask questions when not sure, come to class, and study for his exams, then you will do fine and also love his class. He is one of the Best!!!

I love coming to his class... (Even on a Friday night)His tests are very reasonble and he goes over the material for it. There is nothing wrong with his test, you only need to study... Like any other class you are here to learn and to get test it for what you know... Besides he is super CUTE!!!

Talked too much about nothing,things that he suggested to study for weren't on the tests. More than half the class failed the tests. What does that say?

Amazing professor. We always got out early and he was absent a few times. He talks to his students like they are his friends and he also teaches very well. Take him!
