I took his intro sociology class for free while I was a University of toronto student. Attended lecture every week after full days of class just because of the quality of presentation. Amazing human being & prof.

Comment:

Claudio is very passionate about the course content in which he speaks, he teaches with vigor and in a clear and concise manner. Do the readings! The only thumbs down I would give is the breakdown of the tests which is generally short answer, ranged around a 3+ page answer, not so short. I would highly recommend this course, very informative.

An amazing professor who knows how to keep his students engaged. He is very intelligent and passionate about the subject he teaches. He makes difficult topics easy to understand and will repeat himself to clarify confusing topics. An easy A+ (just know how to write a proper essay though).

Super passionate and will help you if you approach him. He definitly knows what hes talking about and he summarizes his lectures very well into main points but also explains them very well also. What he says is on the test is on the test!! Very straightforward. Sometimes it is easy to not pay attention because he talks a lot. But great prof overall

Comment:

Claudio is a very passionate professor who knows a lot about the topics and genuinely wants to teach. I usually take notes on paper, but he tends to jump back and fourth so a laptop makes it easier to keep notes organized. He provides a sheet of general notes about readings & topics. He lectures off of that; they are extremely helpful for tests!!

The class was pretty good. He's really passionate and knows about what he talks about. Kind of difficult because there's a lot of writing, but as long as you read, you should be fine.

He was nice. If you emailed him he'd reply quickly and always welcomed people to ask him questions and meet up outside of class hours for extra help. His lectures were interesting but I can't really say I learned anything.

Claudio is probably the best professor I've encountered at York. He is well versed in his subject matter, and shares his passion with students. His lectures are not boring, and he is always willing to help you out if you ask for it. I would take every course he taught if I could, and I recommend his classes to everyone.

Too overqualified for york, better than any professor I have come across, knows what he's talking about, doesn't read off slides, does not have a monotone or mumble stuff, very organized and interesting.

Professor Colaguori was hands down the best professor I have had since I started at York two years ago. His lectures are always interested, he is funny and caring. His tests are a little hard but he makes sure to give you all the material you will need to pass and more. He is extremely caring and is accessible outside of class.

I am a fourth year student and have taken his class in first year, till this date I have not found a better prof at York U, he is the most amazing lecturer, his material is on point, not long and boring at all. He keeps the lectures interesting throughout, as long as you keep up with the readings and understand material you can get a good mark. 3

Professor Colaguori was hands down the best professor I had during my entire four years at YorkU! His passion is contagious and he makes you leave every class looking at the world in a completely different perspective. He is a really fair marker and his assignments and tests are super reasonable. Take his classes - you won't regret it I promise.

Colaguori was an amazing prof!!!! His readings could be long but kept me interested throughout the course. He really made you think about certain things and question them. As an intro course for criminology, he prepared me for future courses in the program. He was funny and knew a lot about the topics. Would take his classes again if possible!!!!!

Claudio is an amazing prof. Incredibly engaging during lectures, although he doesn't try to be neutral. That's not a bad thing. He's opinionated but never condescending or rude. He's really interesting, very passionate. Marking was reasonable, lectures were easy to follow. Definitely take a class with him if you can!
