CollegeProfessor Capettini is extremely knowledgeable and invested in the success of his students. If you do your homework and go to lecture, you will do well.
Lectures are extremely unengaging. He posts them online but he literally puts paragraphs on slides. It is not a great environment. he got mad because people arent showing up to class even though the slides are so text heavy you cant even take notes.
Good GE to take. Emilio is very understanding and gives excellent feedback. Very nice and if you attend lecture and do a majority of the readings youll be fine. If youve taken Greek myth youll also be pretty well off since you read a lot of the same texts. Nice guy also and tries to keep lecture from being boring
Quizzes are quite easy and the material is well discussed and analyzed in lecture. However he does grade a bit tough on essays!
Easy GE for area G
Nice guy, easy class, and he is very clear on his grading. You can truly do the bare minimum to get an A but he is a real sweet professor so if you are inclined to put more effort, I'm sure it's rewarding
