The expectation for the exams were fairly clear and he was extremely helpful and approachable. He would often try to connect lecture content with practical applications in physics which was helpful for students from STEM backgrounds.
Good lectures, fairly clear, extremely approachable, clearly enjoys mathematics. His handwriting was a bit difficult to read, but the class was otherwise very informative.
Top 3 Professor for math and he not 2nd or 3rd. Took him for summer and although there was a lot of material he helps a lot in office hours. Aswell as make time for his students and answers all questions. Multiple opportunities for extra credit. Tells you what's on the test so you can prepare properly and never wants you to fail. 10/10 would take
Really great professor! Makes things really clear and provides a lot intuition that helps consolidating my understanding of the subject. Office hours are really cool and would certainly take with this professor again!
Professor Ricci is one of the best math professors I've had. He cares about his students, encourages everyone to go to office hours, and explains when you're confused. There are no surprises for exams because the questions are pulled from homework and lecture. He loves math and makes students enthusiastic about math as well.
Professor Ricci is an engaging lecturer who ensures you develop mastery of vector calculus. His expectations for exams are incredibly clear and exactly like homework and lecture practice problems. He is very accessible and makes sure that you understand everything you need to know for the class. Would definitely take again!
Fabio is a caring professor who genuinely cares about your learning progress in the course. The first lecture, he talked about his pizza progress and said practice makes perfect. His handwriting is a little bad but he makes up for it by providing extra material and really hinting at what's going to be on the exams. Overall great professor!
Outstanding Professor and would definitely take him again if I'm given the opportunity.
6A is a difficult class and the summer goes by extremely fast, Fabio did a good job not putting questions that were not covered by homework or lectures on the exams. Be prepared to study outside of the class as well.
Excellent professor. Wants everyone in the class to succeed and is available outside of class often in case you find yourself confused with the material. Homework was extremely helpful and prepared you for exams very well.
Very helpful and willing to answer any questions students have during lecture. Homework is long, but helpful and applicable to what you will be tested on. Practice tests are very similar to the test and he goes over the practice tests in depth before the test day. Would definitely take Professor Ricci again!
Really nice professor, he considers for students' grades. His policy was so helpful in getting an A and the course material was helpful for exams.
Very approachable guy, always willing to help. He gives practice exams are helpful to prepare for the exams. As long as you keep up with the homework and sections you will be good.
he tried hard to make sure we did good, the lectures were fine, but the textbook questions were helpful, so were sections. he structured the class well!
He really cares about making sure everyone succeeds. The midterms were very similar to the practices, and the homeworks were long but helpful. Math8 is meant to be a really difficult class but he made it fun and easier to understand.
Fabio is the most caring teacher I met at UCSB. I will take his courses again absolutely!
So far, hes been a really good professor, gave us a very clear outline for what would be on the midterms and finals. Practice tests were extremely helpful, they were pretty much identical to what was on the actual tests with slight modifications to the problems.
No regrets taking this class. Professor was funny and cared about helping students work to receive the grade they desire if they are willing to reach out and participate. Overall really good experience with him this quarter!
Good amount of helpful homework, really cares ab his students, was passionate about math! I didn't find it too difficult to get an A as long as I did the homework and the practice midterm/finals
Fabio is an outstanding instructor who truly cares about his students learning and success. He is very clear about grading and wants us all to get an A. His practice tests are very similar to the real thing and he is always open to questions and takes the time to ensure students grasp the material fully.
He gives a good amount of practice midterms and a practice final similar to the actual midterms and final. He also lets us redo homework to give us grades we're satisfied with. You can tell he wants us to do well and emphasizes learning over grades.
Really Good instructor. Practice midterm and final before the real tests. highly recommend.
Fabio is a super great professor. He always posts the lecture notes on canvas and gives the practice before each midterm and final. Overall it isn't a hard course.
Very easy. Highly recommend. Very friendly and tries to help students in every way possible.
