540 - CHM1025Lab
- strengths of this course is the experiments and relating it to the real world.
- The professor was very helpful.
- Wonderful professor with a vast knowledge of the material.
- the lab is well prepared with interesting problems. he also explains the setting up carefully
- I like the way the professor explained each experiment.
- he is perfect
- The professor cares about student's success. he is helpful always trying his best to make us understand the lessons. i wish there were more professors like him.
- Good teacher, hands-on learning.
- Mr. Spadola was great with answering and questions we had about the labs!
- Better understanding of key concepts of chemistry
- he is the best. needs no improvement
540 CHM2046L
- course content
- He made Chem 2 interesting!
- First of all, I would like to point out that there was no confusion at all with Dr. Spadola's accent. He is a very sweet, and funny professor who was always prepared for our class. He made challenging topics fun and always had an introduction to the topic to help you understand as well. I enjoyed how this course/lab encouraged me to think differently than I would have in lecture. The topics that I did not understand in lecture I now understand because of how the lab was set up and very hands on.
- This course if very hands on and it makes us understand the subject better as we perform experiments.
- No strengths in this course.
- Professor clearly has a good understanding of the material, yet doesn't effectively communicate his knowledge with the class
- The content and what was required to turn in was appropriate. I do like how we worked as a table and only turned in a lab report worksheet instead of a full blown report individually. I also think the instructor did a great job explaining what the lab was going to do each week and give examples. I would like the instructor to know that there was a lot of unintelligent misbehaving idiots in my lab that were disrespectful and rude to you and the class and regardless of what they put in the survey should be taken as a grain of salt because without asking my constantly for help, they wouldn't have passed the class since they seem to have their heads up their butt instead of in the actual class.
- I liked the challenge of losing points if you got the wrong elements in the experiments that way it challenges the best work
- his teaching skill
- No strengths
- the beginning of every class the professor provided an over view of all the expected goals by the end of class
- professor Spadola was able to convey the material in an engaging and easy to understand manner.
- He is very nice and doesn’t penalize you for late work, all he cares about is if you understand the material.
- The professor was very helpful when the students would ask questions.

Hillsborough Community College (Dale Mabre Campus-Tampa) - SPRING 2016 (PHY 1025 and Lab)
- Very nice instructor. He was  fair grader and gave several examples to complete. The only thing I had a problem with was that sometimes he was hard to understand but he tried to communicate what he was saying to us. I would take him again.
- Prof. Spadola is great, English could use very little help. He is improving by the day.
- Great great great great professor!
- Professor Spadola is an outstanding teacher! By far one of the best professor I have ever had! He goes above and beyond to make sure he is communicating and teaching effectively to every student in class. He consistently check in with everyone to make sure the material is clear. It is obvious that he knows the material inside and out and is enthusiastic in presenting it to the class.
- I wish he was teaching Physics I and Physics II because I would definitely take him again!
- Good instructor with a good sense of humor.
- Thank you for giving me this opportunity to give my opinion on this class AND the college itself, this is awesome. Professor Spadola is a great teacher. He's very passionate about was he is doing and because of this, a 3-hours Friday morning lecture can actually be enjoyable. This course needs better material (books & a new projector)
- Professor Spadola has a strong accent, but I had no problem understanding the lectures. As a veteran student, HCC does a wonderful job dealing with  the post 9/11 G.I.
- Mr. Spadola is a great instructor.
- He makes physics a little easier to understand.
- Great professor, understanding what he's saying maybe tough at times but he will always make sure that the students understand the material.

520 – PHY1053 General Physics I (Class # 616)
-The instructor provided a criteria for the course that made physics tolerable for someone who does not like the subject.
-instructor
-The instructor's accent was difficult to understand at times, however I think he did a good job at compensating for this by focusing on the mathematical aspects of the course content.
-The instructor Giuseppe Spadola made the course content digestible in the relatively short period that is this the evening course.
-Professor know the subject well
-Good instruction
-I think it is a lot of material to go through in a short period of time but he covered everything with a lot of interest and was very knowledgable on the subject.
-The Instructor and his in depth knowledge of the subject matter.

515 – PHY1048L Physics Laboratory I (Class # 1224)
-Great Professor
-The teaching assistant was really helpful in clarifying the ideas of the lab
515 – PHY1053 General Physics I (Class # 778)
-Extra credit and homework because it was the only thing that helped us prepare for the exam.
-The instructor's only strength shown throughout the course is solving the homework problems in class. Those homework problems, even though not understood by most of the class, helped me do the homework right.
-Professor is very interested and shows passion for the material he teaches.
-Spadola is a very fun and enthusiastic professor and creates a fun exciting clasroom environment.
-The urge to pass
-preparing you for the exams

-The thing I appreciated the most from this course was the hefty amount of extra credit given by the teacher for the tests.
-The instructor understands the material very well.
-Gave information very well and excellent grading system
-I want to preface this with saying that I really love chemistry and science and have taken many science classes. When I enrolled in the class I was extremely excited to go more in depth in chemistry especially since I am planning on taking more advanced chemistry classes. Unfortunately professor Spadola has made this extremely difficult and really regret taking his course. There is absolutely no reason to go to class due to his lack of teaching skills and extremely hard accent to understand. He seems completely unprepared for each class and I have a difficult time following what is being covered in class. Its really upsetting because I have to go to his class to learn close to nothing and take extra time to teach my self the material after class because attendance is mandatory but each class seems more pointless than the last. I am not the only one in the class saying this and his average test scores will show the truth. Hopefully professor Spadola will find a teaching method that will help others because as of now they are not.
-Consistency in the test format.

-Lab was explained before hand, and instructor went around to see when people needed help.
-The material is presented effectively.
-Helpful, explains the lab instructions
-The labs are set up very well, all instructions are clear.
-I like that during the beginning of the course, when we had to switch things around for the lab report grading system, that he he was so understanding and he tried to make sure his students understood what was going on. He was very flexible and not many instructors are so this is admirable. I also like that he goes through the lab instructions before we do the lab. This is helpful because he also clears up some questions we have before we start.
-Professor Spadola is very nice and he really knows the subject matter. He supervised the labs well and offered good feedback.
-He tries his best to explain the lab before we start and he teaches you the correct way to do this procedures. Very good teacher overall.
-Reference material from Royal Society of Chemistry could have been used more
-Favorite class this semester. Besides the language barrier, loved the prof Fun labs, great team
-improvements of understanding chemistry and different formulas.
-Instructor is very knowledgeable in the subject. he used his knowledge to explain different situations in lab and kept the class interesting with the different experiment performed.
505 – CHM1025  Introductory Chemistry  (Class # 169)
-I love Mr. Spadola. he's my favorite teacher. His strength is his knowledge.
-Over all the class went well. There was an obvious Language barrier, but I see through that. You have a wonderful personality, and the heart of a teacher. I think those who genuinely tried to learn did, and those who did not want to learn or were focused on petty distractions didn’t. Fair enough, no?
-The course content is the strength, and my instructor as well. He does his best to make sure we all understand what he is teaching.
-power points and worksheets were very helpful
-good teacher
-SPC 60 year history of Academic Excellence!
-the formulas and the table of elements.
-There was lots of practice provided for tests.
-Professor Spadola tried his very best to explain things thoroughly, despite the language barriers. He is patient and witty, which keeps everyone engaged in the material.

495 – CHM1025L   Introductory Chemistry Lab (Class # 4834 and 161)
-Professor Spadola is a brilliant man. He is one of the most knowledgeable and informative teachers I have had in my college career. Some student said they couldnt understand what to do during the experiments (assuming due to his heavy accent) but as long as you read the instructions before class, like we are suppose to, he was easily understood. Also, he did a great job at explaining what we learned in our lecture, like balancing of equations, is what is physically happening in front of our eyes, during each experiment. Great teacher!
-Mr. Spadola wants his students to succeed. He efficiently prepared his students for the lab experiments. This professor is educated and passionate about Chemistry. He encouraged students to ask for help and never neglected to share his knowledge when questions were asked. ---He makes the course interesting by applying Chemistry to real life situations.
-The experiments that the class conducted were well organized, and informative.
-He understood what he was teaching and he understands chemistry. But... He had no idea how to answer questions properly. I would ask a question and his answer wouldn't even be relevent to what I was asking... It's like he didn't understand my words.
-Instructor explains well
