Love this guy! textbook is given but definitely not necessary - great lecturer and TAs are forgiving graders. Only caveat is that class does become slightly dull at times, but not a dealbreaker by any means.MATH2341 2026-08-08 19:01:22 +0000 UTC
one of the best math professors you can possibly find. He's the right person. Bob's lectures include clear instructions and many examples which Def help you to understand this course.DIFFQLINALG 2026-07-08 18:20:37 +0000 UTC
Bad professor during summer classes. Rushed through all material, never made it clear what would be on tests. For the final, he gave us 3 finals that were full of multiple choice yet told us the day before that they wasn't any on the test. Left class early during studying, and only went over problems when the class told him he did it wrong.CALCDIFE 2026-06-16 23:43:54 +0000 UTC
Decent class. I took it in the summer, so it was very test heavy. Homework is optional but is good for practicing for the quizzes. Go to lectures = good grades.ME2341 2025-06-26 04:15:29 +0000 UTC
Lupi is the best prof I've ever had. He explains things very clearly & step by step. He cares about his students, but I can see how some see him as a harsh guy; he's just straight forward but tbh its kind of amusing in class. He's ALWAYS prepared, shows you everything you'll come across on hw, quizzes, & exams. He's known to best for diff equ profMATH1342 2017-12-12 19:25:15 +0000 UTC
I wish we did more derivations of formulas. But all in all, he was a great teacher. Maybe a little boring if math isn't your thing. Very smart and patient.CALC2 2010-12-30 00:13:12 +0000 UTC
This guy is the man. I wish i had him for all my calc classes. Very clear, knows his stuff, helps you get your grade up if you need. Very clear on what is expected on quizzes and tests.MTHU343 2009-12-03 21:47:39 +0000 UTC
Helpful, knowledgeable, provides a lot of examples, quizzes are kinda tricky, grades leniently, midterm & final are doable, sometimes he makes things complicated on the board, but still overall as a good professor.MTH341 2009-06-25 00:34:09 +0000 UTC
Extremely efficient: Gives you a quick run down of the material, does a bunch of examples, quizzes you every week. Great at explaining things; some of the quizzes were a little hard though. Overall great prof., especially if you're not great at calc but need to take it.MTH243 2009-01-27 23:42:36 +0000 UTC
Great Professor. One of the best that I have had at Northeastern so far. He makes everything very easy.MTH343 2008-12-21 13:39:40 +0000 UTC
I took calc 3 with him... He is very reasonable and patient... Just attend his classes and ul be fine... One of the better Math teachers... Quizzes are similar to homework assignments and if u think ur unfairly graded speak to him and he give u a good explanation or give u more partial credit...MTHU341 2008-06-19 16:57:25 +0000 UTC
This teacher explains math in the most simple way possible, and is always willing to answer your questions. However due to his complete and total lack of personality, if you ask a stupid question he will make you feel like a stupid person. Tests and quizzes are difficult, but should be no problem if you do the homework and listen to him in classMTH242 2005-12-21 00:40:23 +0000 UTC

Lupi is awesome! Lots of notes, but they help a bunch. Not a lot of homework, not strict either. Easy quizes because they're basically all hw problems. Tests are tough but fair. Fair grader, too.CALC3DELA 2005-08-01 13:56:53 +0000 UTC
Lupi seems kinda austere, but he knows his stuff, and if you take good notes and pay attention, you'll know it too. Helpful with homework, and fairly so at office hours, but know exactly why you're going before you do. A no-bull teacher, and a fairly easy A.MTHU242 2005-07-04 21:53:44 +0000 UTC
