Comment:
I took CHE 2011 and CHE 2012 with Professor DiBiasio. He is the reason that I excelled in chemical engineering. Some of his notes in class can be slightly jumbled, but he makes sure that everyone understands what is going on. He cares a lot about the success of his students and wants everyone to succeed.

Comment:
Deebs recently stopped being department head so that he would have more time to teach. His lectures are still a bit disorganized (the man would seriously benefit from a set of printed lecture notes), but he's not an altogether bad teacher. If you don't catch something in class, visit his office hours. Same if you run into issues with the project.

Comment:
DiBiasio wasn't the best professor, but also not the absolute worst you could have. It seems like he doesn't have time to teach the class; he went to two conferences in the middle of the term and missed at least three lectures. Homework can be very challenging, especially since he rushes through examples that are merely projected on the board.

Comment:
Lecture notes are generally not specific. Doesn't give examples and expects you to know how to do the problems. Homework given includes material not covered in class. Tests are difficult as he includes problems that have 'curve balls'. Would not recommend if you want a teacher that teaches.

He is a smart guy but he doesn't know how to teach. He just assumes that everyone knows how to do chemical engineering excersiging. not helpful at all. selfstudy habit should be taking into consideration

The material wasn't to hard but he just didn't have time to teach the class. Good intentions but there would be almost no way to schedule a meeting time. Just make sure you go to lectures and don't wait to do the hw and you should be fine

Comment:
I also took CHE 2012 with him and got a B, due mostly to a bad group for projects. Prof. DiBiasio (aka Deebs) is a bit disorganized, which can be frusterating. However, he is a good professor overall. If you need to talk to him, go the the chem eng office and have the secretaries (Felicia or Tiffany, they are amazing) schedule an apt.

Great teacher. Easy to pay attention in his class. Is a little disorganized but that doesn't matter much because he explains the stuff well and it's easy to stay awake in his class.

he is a smart guy but cant teach well. he has a tendency to slap things up on the overhead and assumes the whole class gets it. my advice, find a couple friends in the class and lean on them. they will lean on you too. homework is graded hard, but it doesnt count that much. DO THE PROJECTS WELL!!!!
