A good Professor and an overall excellent person to be around. Class is laid-back and discussion-based, so stress levels are mostly low. Some of the work can be tedious, but it certainly isn't impossible by any means. Books were generally interesting as well.

Dr. Chirico is an awesome professor. I was expecting a lecture but it is more like a writing workshop. Every single class was highly entertaining. If you're looking to fulfill an art credit, I would definitely recommend taking this class.

Best professor I have ever had. Only bad part is I don't have anymore classes with him. I urge everyone to take his classes and give him a chance.

Comment:

Dr. Chirico is one of the best teachers i've had. You learn a lot from him about yourself and the world we live in. I highly recommend his class. Their is a fair amount of reading but everything you do doesn't seem like traditional school work. You actually take things away and apply it to your everyday life.

Comment:

Chirico is a great professor. I always loved coming to his classes and he really makes you think in a way you may not be used to. He's very philosophical, and it's not uncommon for him to blow your mind every class. The stuff he says is really cool and interesting, would recommend him to any student.

If you have the chance to take creative writing with him you should take it. You will learn more about yourself and life from him than from the rest of your school experience combined. Phenomenal professor and phenomenal human being. You will not regret it and he will be there for you for the rest of your life.

I absolutely love this professor, he is openly blunt, he makes you laugh on those rough days. He cares about his students,he wants you to learn what will expand your mind and make you really think outside of the box. Granted I really thought he was born from another planet but come to find out he is just very genuine, authentic and awesome.

Comment:

I wouldn't recommend taking this class. I haven't learned one thing about communicating about ideas and values. Instead we take about Buddhist philosophy which is way over my head. Don't get me wrong the teacher seems very smart, I just wish I could have learned something meaningful for me and my career choice.

Comment:

Dr. Chirico was my advisor and professor, and he is extremely intelligent. Beware, though: any class you take with him will not be "traditional." He gives you concepts and you have to wrap your head around them. He's a little bit different, but once you get used to his style you can learn so much. He expects quality writing but is a fair grader.

All I can say is this man comes from another planet! He is BRILLIANT, so if or when you take his course be prepared to think really hard about everything you think you know.

He really shines in creative writing classes. I'm taking his American lit course, DO the reading and be ready to talk. I'm in that course right now and I never would have realized there was so much to Melville's whale book. It's a blast, but stay on your feet our your brain will fry from overdosing on his insights into it. He knows his stuff.

I took Creative Writing with Professor Chirico and I absolutely loved the class. Not only is he helpful, he makes you fall in love with writing. We used Tumblr for the class and it was so much fun! If you keep up with your work, and show you care, you will succeed in his class. I am a much better writer now likes to Professor Chirico! He's awesome!

Ask if you have a question or you may end up lost. If the question is asked, it is addresses in full, and no problems will be had. He is funny and passionate about his work. He also has a quirky Tim Burton hotness about him.

I would take another class with Dr. Chirico. Show up and do what is asked of you and there is no reason that you shouldn't get an A.

Dr. Chirico is a really nice guy, and funny too! Not really too much work was asked. Just some reading and four papers at the end of the semester. I would take another class with him :)

I took this class over the summer. He's a very laid back teacher. I had a lot of fun in his class. We had many discussions. If I had the opportunity to take another one of his classes, I would.

Dr. Chirico was fantastic. I seriously found his techniques to be very helpful in my writing. He is a brilliant mind and he loves to share that with his students in a non-condescending way. He is very easygoing - you will get what you put into it.
