Comment:

He actually is one of the worst teachers in QC by far. And yeah I said teacher, because this guy doesn't deserve the title of prof! One of the only ones who voted against the C/NC policy that would help students out, that should tell you something. And he's super cringe too. Makes terrible puns saying he's trying to "perfect his humor" for us

So where should I even start? homeworks take hours to complete yet counts as basically nothing. Rude af, Grades very harshly, takes hella points off tests, makes you feel dumb for asking questions, expects students to know everything, not a learning environment. And talks about his life when he didn't use calculators so we ought to do the same.

Comment:

He assigns 2-3 homework assignments a week that range between 15-25 questions each yet homework is only 5% of the final grade. Claims the quizzes and exams are based on the homework but its completely bs because the questions/problems he writes are way more complicated than the homework. On top of that he's just plain rude and unapproachable.

Avoid him at all costs. If he is the only professor left for the semester then take the semester off and try to find a different professor for the next semester. This class seriously tanked my gpa. Spent several hours on his homework assignments and they were due in such a short amount of time. His only good reviews were probably written by him.

Waste of time. The textbook is completely useless and the lectures are a direct copy-paste of the textbook. Very rude if you email him questions for clarification. The laziest math professor in the entire math department. Save your grade and take someone else

I have been reading his reviews for a while and have yet to see one person with a grade over a b-. I'm great at math and this was horrible. He expects his students to know calculus before taking it huh?? Pastore takes off full credit for right answers not done his way. Besides all of this he is also mean. The department should be notafied about him

Professor Pastore was hands down the words teacher I ever had. He took off random points on tests and would not explain why. Even if two people had identical answers he would give them different amounts of points because he has no grading system. He does not answer his email, and when he does he is rude. He is a terrible teacher. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!

Do not take this professor, even if you feel like you need it due to scheduling. Homework is worth 5% yet it takes hours to complete, it is very extensive work and should be worth more. Camera must be on at all times or he calls you out on it. Does not record lectures. No exceptions or extensions. He also does not teach material well.

My god. Avoid this professor at all costs. He is literally the worst professor ever. Forces you to have zoom camera on at all times. That is bad policy. You cant force people to have their camera on in class. If some students dont want their camera on in class, then let them have the camera off. We have choices. This professor sending a bad policy.

The homeworks are extremely heavy. You will have to spend hours and hours trying to complete them. For online classes, cameras must be turned on. If not, you will be kicked out. If late, he will not let you in to zoom meetings. HE IS VERY VERY TOUGH GRADER. You will not get a partial credit for anything. The answers must be correct to the core.

This professor forces students to have their camera turned on during zoom lectures. Cant even have our camera's off for a few minutes or seconds. Gives us two homeworks on the day where there is no class scheduled. Unbelivable. Homeworks are long and a lot. Expects us to do work 10-12 hours per week. Who has the time for that with other classes.
