Dr. Vampola is an amazing and very intelligent man. He deeply cares about the success of his students, and tailors lecture content and examples of each semester class he teaches to the majors and interests of his students. Always available outside of class for questions, even for discussion about college in general, and is very humble and kind.

Prof. Vampola is always willing to help you. He really cares for his students and will do anything in his power to help you. He is also very intelligent and knows a lot about pretty much everything. His assignments and tests are all essay question based but if you provide good examples he will reward you. Best Computer Science Professor.

Professor Vampola is a great professor. He is passionate about this subject. 3 homework assignments that were a joke and 3 tests that were easy if you studied. His lectures can be a little dry and he doesnt use blackboard. Hes a very understanding guy If you take the time to talk to him outside of class or right after. Easy credits in this class.

I was taking this class over the SUMMER, TWICE a week, for 3.5 HOURS each class, so I hated this class before it even started. Then I met Vampola and that changed everything, he is awesome!! You can tell that he cares about his students and enjoys what he does. Definitely one of my favorite teachers!!

Had him for both COG 166 and ISC 405. Super nice professor, always telling jokes about being older than dirt and finding ways to relate the subject to real world issues. ISC 405 had 3 short 10 minute assignments, and 2 10-15 page take-home paper exams that basically just asked you to explain what was given in the notes and apply it.

Great guy and SUPER smart, pretty funny too. If you don't know much about cognitive science though his class can be pretty tough. Only graded on 3 assignments and 3 tests, and the final is worth 40% of your grade and is cumulative so if you don't do well on the final you won't do well in the class. Other than that he's a great prof!

Great guy who is a little on the odd side. Class is all talking about the theory of information systems rather than actually doing anything with computers. Highly recommend taking it with him, 2 short easy assignments and a midterm and final that is all writing but fairly easy. Take notes during class so you know what to study for the tests.

Vampola is probably the smartest person I've ever met. He's a great professor who pushes you to think about things differently. The class discussion was great, and the topics were engaging. His definition of a short paper is like, 8 pages, so just keep that in mind. But he'll help you through it all. He was my thesis advisor too and that went well.

Prof Vampola is the smartest, most engaging, and most passionate professor I've ever met. He possesses very solid knowledge of a range of subjects, something that is evident to anyone who talks to him.

Vampola is one of my favorite professors at Oswego. The information he teaches is dry, but he makes it interesting and keeps you engaged with corny jokes. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and how they do. He's very accommodating, and will go out of his way to help your understand. He represents everything a professor should be
