No one knows how he grades. He doesn't really know what he's talking about when it comes to psychology. In the middle of a midlife crisis.

Capone knows what he's talking about. My problem is that he loved giving out ridiculous amounts of homework, had no reasoning for his grading, and would intentionally call people out in front of the entire class. This happened constantly during group presentations so be aware and expectant of this if you choose to take his class. Know your stuff

Comment:
Capone is a great teacher, he does grade tough but if you put in the effort, he will know. His class is a lot of lecture but you will learn a lot to he loves to get a discussion going and wants every to participate, he strives to hear your opinion over his own. He doesn't really give out 100's because he believes there is always room to improve.

One of my favourites, Capone is one of the teachers who will challenge you. He is kind, and can be your best friend. But do not disrespect him. He will challenge you, and provoke your thoughts. One of the better people I have ever met.

Professor Capone has been one of my favorite teachers. He's insightful, kind, and enjoyable to listen to. He can be a tough grader, but as long as you do your work there should be no problem!

I don't get why people talk badly about this guy... I've taken two classes from him, and loved both. He expects a lot, but is VERY willing to help you out. He has a reputation for being harsh, but he really isn't. And actually, he's quite funny. Definitely recommend!

A lot of people hate on Capone, But I've enjoyed his class very much. Not really all that much work, he's very understanding, and very, very smart. Take his class

Alot of people say that this guy's class is awful but i disagree with that statement. This class is one of the more interesting classes that ive taken at Champlain. Hes really passionate and hes also really understanding and helpful. The work load is not bad and he takes peoples opinions and suggestions very seriously and into consideration.

Assigned all the work together. I missed a single assignment, he told me I would definitely pass as long as I got it in, got him the assignment and got good grades on everything. When I received grades, he gave me an F. Extremely disrespectful teacher if he wants to be, and lets you know it.

Doesn't know what he's doing, doesn't know what he supposed to be teaching, just lectures all the time, forgot to tell the class when assignments are due, misses classes and then punishes students by bunching together all the coursework to the last couple of days. 3 papers and a presentation within the final week with this teacher!!!!!

Hard but worth it. Knows his stuff, can be confusing but if you ask for clarification he can articulate a simple explanation. For reading he lets you get in a group and discuss before talking in class. Do the work, put in the extra effort, speak up, and be respectful. You'll will learn a lot.

Comment:
He expects you to be prepared to listen & to ask questions. If you tell him you're confused, whether you bring this up in or outside of class, he is more than happy to explain things further and provide examples to clarify thoughts. If you're trying to just 'get by' don't take a class with this professor. If you want to stimulate your brain, do it.

Comment:
Ridiculously hard. He doesn't explain anything about the philosophers. He assumes that you understand fully, and he expects you to make obscure connections between their eras. I think that if he'd lecture us instead of grade our comprehension, we'd all fully understand the course. For papers, there are no guidelines, and no justification for grades

The hardest core teacher. Hard grader and bunches assignments together at the end of the semester. Do not take for core classes unless you want to fail.

He is a nice guy but needs to spread out his assignments. He bunches like 5 different large assignments into a small time period. Do not take his CORE classes!

He is ridiculous. He will have nothing due one week and then two huge things due the next week and he only gives one week to do them. He also sucks at explaining what he wants the assignment to be but then he grades extremely hard using a set standard. He is very very hard!!
