Lectures are long and boring. If you aren't interested in physics the class is going to be difficult for you. You'll really have to read and study in order to do well.

He is a great teacher, its an easy class. If you think otherwise physics just isn't for you. Don't blame it on him.

Comment:
His class was very difficult. He does not explain things well and tells stories that have nothing to do with the subject. I had to teach myself and reading the text was crucial to even passing. BTW all of the questions on his exams are in the hw problems. He forgets to ask you to turn stuff in but they are due asap and you lose points if its late.

Comment:
Rodano was a horrible teacher. He lectured on things that didnt matter and regardless of what he attempted to teach us, the tests were still very hard. No matter how much you read the book and did practice problems, you did not do good on the tests. Do not take this class with him if you have the choice. It was horrible!

I really disliked this class. I wish someone else taught in during the day. I didn't learn anything and the tests were hard because we never went over half the material in class. If you can help it don't take Earth and Space Science with Rodano.

E&S Science should not have been a hard course. The only way to pass was to memorize the book because nothing was accomplished in class. We had activities that he did not give us directions for, did not correct, and then quizzed us on. He did not tell us until the next to last class we had to turn all of our activity papers. Worst class ever!

E&S Science was an enjoyable class. Rodano is not interested in lecturing (although some days he did seem to go on and on and got boring) but does lots of group activities. Simple research paper with pres. Tests are kinda hard, journals can be a pain, he can be really unclear and I think he made some of the students feel stupid. Fair grader, got A.

Great Teacher. Makes everything clear and understandable. Tests are hard and you must study but he is a fair grader. The only thing I didnt like is there are Journals due every class.. but if you do them it will help out your grade in the end.

Mr. Rodano was a very pleasurable teacher :) He made class pretty interesting..though some days were very long. He demands respect. His tests are pretty difficult..you need to memorize the book...but overall..he was a good teacher..i would take him again

Awesome Professor! I thought I was gonna have to really buckle down for this class but so much was linked to common sense that it turned out to be the class I sacrificed attending for the others I'd fallen behind in! Prof Rodano really enjoys teaching Physics and it shows in his teaching style. SI sessions are helpful too.

One of the best teachers. He is very understanding and helpfull. I didn't like science before but after having him going to a science class isn't that bad. Tests you should study for. Fair grader though. Is very knowledgable and is good at helping you understand class material.

Comment:
I had already taken physics in high school but it didn't count towards college so taking his class for me was a little boring. HOWEVER, he does fun things to keep you interested. I got sick mid-semester and he let me make up everything with plenty of time. NICE GUY! Just make sure you go to all classes and pay attention. A good teach to take

One of my fav. teachers there, (and I don't have alot of fav). Class is enjoyable to go to-interesting conversations while still learning, and he has a good personality. He is also concerned with how you are doing and wants you to do good. tests are challenging, so you def need to study and pay attention in class.

I would go back to his classes just to sit through them again. He is a GREAT teacher. Has kind of a mad scientist/evil genius vibe. Read the book, take some notes, pass the class. But mostly, enjoy it!
