The material for this class would not be bad if you took both pre calc and stat in high school but if you haven't it can be very hard. Class is a joke so most people just didn't go unless exams were being handed back. The material isn't horrible but if you're basically on your own. Ciro is super nice however and you can go to him.

Such a cute old man, but he doesn't teach. He never has a lesson planned, during class you just work on the WebAssign homework while he sits at the front and waits for questions. Don't need to attend class. As long as you do all of the WebAssigns and do decent on them you will pass the class. Good luck teaching yourself

He is the cutest old man ever and he's so funny! He really doesn't teach the material but your homework is webassigns which he lets you do in class and if you have any questions he is always happy to answer it. The course is basic stat and algebra so honestly it shouldn't be that hard anyway. Just find a friend to study with and you'll be fine!

Im so disappointed with professor Ciro and this math course. I expected an easy course and a good professor after reading his reviews. DO NOT TAKE. He does not teach which basically sets you up for failure on the exams. He would do 1-2 problems per class then it was up to you to teach yourself. He gives no resources and has given up on teaching.

He's really nice and tries to be funny but he was very hard to understand. It got better as the class went on but still somewhat difficult. Also, he doesn't teach anything, you basically just go to class to work on the Webassign homework. His grading scale is also somewhat lenient as well. I also found his 3 exams to be somewhat tricky as well.

THE CUTEST LITTLE MAN. Doesn't explain problems very well, so make some friends! Tests are not hard and he gives practice tests which are the same. Get a study group together and you'll be fine. If you go to him for one on one help he usually clears things up! Some people complain he doesn't teach, but the math is SO basic 12 year olds could do it

Professor Ciro is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. He is hard to understand and teaches 2 problems a class then makes you work on homework. He does not give study guides and never tells you information that you could potentially see on a test. He makes an easy math hard. Take someone else. Im probably going to get a C and Im an A student.

Easy algebra course, never went to class and still got a good grade. Webassigns every week and three midterms and a final. If your final grade is higher than your lowest midterm grade, the midterm grade will match your final exam grade. He takes attendance but does not grade it.

Took him for Math114 and after only having 80% on my webassigns, I ended up getting an A-. The tests are easy, and you generally only show up to class to get help with webassigns.

Professor Ciro is the cutest little Italian man. He is so nice but extremely hard to understand. It gets better as the semester goes on but he needs to learn better English. He barely teaches the class so exams can be annoying. If you ask for help he is happy to help. He loves his students. Sometimes he takes attendance.

Retook calc with him over winter. He's awesome and by far the easiest of any calc teacher. If you can't pass calc with him, you wont pass calc at UD.

Took MATH221 over winter session with Professor Ciro. He is very clear and straightforward as to what u need to do to succeed in class. Go to every class, and do the homework!! He takes homework problems and puts them on the exam. 2 tests, and a final. 20 problems on 2 and 25 on the final. He replaces your lowest grade with final grade if higher.

He is the sweetest and funniest little Italian man you will ever meet, but not a good professor. The tests are somehow way harder than you think- it's such easy math but everyone tanks the tests. Plan to teach yourself the entire course- you won't understand/stay awake for a thing he's talking about.

Ciro was very nice but he was an awful teacher. He has an extremely thick accent which made his class hard to understand. He was not helpful during office hours and his exams are nothing like the practice tests he provides. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM.

Hes a great guy but an awful teacher. i had to spend a lot of time teaching myself. He knows his math but he jumps around a lot. He is hard to follow and his thick italian accent is hard to understand.
