Comment:

He is a very nice and caring man. He is a little traditional with the way he runs his class, but it isn't anything that someone cannot do for 1.5 hours. He is very lecture heavy so be prepared for that. Tests are a bit tricky, but he gives you the answers right before. I would say an easy A if you do all your work and not lazy.

Comment:

He is a father so he will earn your respect. Do not use your phone in this class or he will lose it. If you are absent it will impact your grade but he is such a sweet heart. His lectures can be very boring at first but as the semester goes on it gets more intersting. I loved attending his class at the end, I am a horrible test taker but I did well

TAKE HIM! I loved Fr. Thomas Caserta. If you have ever attended Mass before this class will be the simplest thing ever. Even if you haven't, he practically gives you the answers on the test a week before hand. easy A. you will enjoy it.

Fr. Caserta is a great teacher. Extremely passionate about the subject matter, and makes it extremely easy. He reviews before every exam and practically gives you the answers. All you have to do is show up and connect the dots.

Class is an easy A. Take notes and read the review sheets he gives you, the tests are almost verbatim. Show up to class, he takes attendance and if you don't skip class he adds points to your grade at the end of the semester. His lectures are dry and boring and he doesn't let you go to the bathroom during class, but it's worth it for the easy grade

Class is an easy A. All you have to do is write down his notes he puts on the board and he gives you reviews before each test. There are 3 tests and one easy paper. Would definitely take again

three tests and one paper. Lectures are so boring I did not learn one thing from sitting in that class but sadly attendance matters. Doesn't let you get up to go to the bathroom or anything either and doesn't do a good job at answering your questions either your just left sitting there even more confused than you were to begin with...

I took him for THE a second time last semester, with a different class. His tests can be tricky because of the way they can be worded and the format (MC and TF alternating can mess you up) but he's still a good professor and I respect him for making class interesting with his little stories and whatnot.

Comment:

Very clear with lessons, but can be very slow and repetitive which makes people think he's boring. His MC-tests can be really tricky and some questions are ambiguous, but overall not bad if you study. I overall recommend him.

Seems like he's strict in his grading. Got an A on the paper and got 90s on all the tests and still didn't get an A. Completely unfair but seems like a nice guy. He's a good professor.

The best professor in the whole school!! You must take down good notes because he bases his tests on notes. There are 2 papers that are fairly easy. 2 tests and 1 final. 20 percent each. Go to class and you will be fine!!

He gives one test per each section of the book (3), no quizzes, one term paper. Just read the chapters for each class and don't use your cell phone and you'll be fine.

good teacher. very knowledgeable and he structures the class well. he seemed pretty narrow minded when he graded my term paper though, but to each their own i suppose; he's a priest after all.

Comment:

His class is very straightforward and he is somewhat strict with class rules. Papers and tests are mostly fair. Don't understand his grading system and was unfair with mine. Study hard for the final though, I got A's on both papers, 95 avg on 2 tests and did not so well on final and still didn't get an A.
