This class was amazing. Whoever rated him low just did not try. We are in college. Show up! Attendance is mandatory, so what? He gave so many extra credit opportunities, the exams are basically the lectures (he posts the lectures before class!), one presentation, and easy paper. I 100% would take him again. Amazing guy. Great class.

Professor Ferrigno is an great professor. He cares about his students and is very passionate about teaching. Attendance is 10% of the grade (TopHats) so it is mandatory. However, there is ample opportunity for extra credit to supplement a few missed lectures. The class is graded fairly and the exam are definitely on the easier side. 100% Recommend.

Reads off a script when lecturing. If you don't attend lectures you'll struggle. Uses 3 TopHat questions per lecture for attendance, but you lose points if you get them wrong. Lots of opportunities for extra credit which is nice, but due to the attendance policies it's kind of required. Exams are on the difficult side. Is passionate about the topic

I ended up dropping the class, but the attendance policy was insane. You could only have one absence the entire semester for a course with two lectures and one discussion a week. You could not make up any quizzes, you had to post on a blog for "extra credit." He was also barely accommodating for exam makeups/McBurney.

Wonderful professor! Great class!

Fun class... Lectures were interesting and had lots of videos/examples. You need to go to class and pay attention. Reading the book helps. Tests can be difficult and focus heavily on graphs, but there are lots of opportunities for extra credit. Discussions have a fair amount of reading, but the papers are fairly short and easy to get through.

Had solid lectures that were interesting. Can get up to 10% in extra credit. He says that it's a lot of reading but not really, he goes over what matters in the textbook, and there are only two articles each week. Understanding graphs is extremely important for class.
