Comment:
The worst part about this class is that the only writing he ever sees (corrects) is your final paper. Do not take this course if you are attempting to become a better writer. How is peer editing useful when most of my peers aren't writers or even care about the class in the first place. poor class structure. Classic useless PCC class. AVOID

Does not respond to emails, ever! Talking to him in class about the status of your grade can be a joke. Lots of busy work and on-time attendance mandatory. Peer editing was useless, final paper was the only copy reviewed by instructor. Little in-class writing help.. after peer editing my classmate (and I) could have used. Not recommended

Doesn't matter how good you do in his class, you will get a B, I bet you. At the start of the class he tells everyone that whatever they write, will be considered CRAP. He is a good person, but not a good instructor. Never respond to any of your emails. Take my advice and find a teacher who is sincere to his profession and cares about his student.

Comment:
I learned a lot in this class but mostly through my own persistence. Mr.D'Andrea had some great moments like a lecture about integrity through avoiding plagiarism. What I wrote was "crap" as he said it would be, but it improved my writing and research skills. Didn't show up to class one day and was unresponsive to emails. I did like the class overa

Comment:
A discouraging teacher, he told us everything we would write would be "crap". He almost made one of the students cry. An irresponsible teacher, he never returns emails or seems to show for his "office hours". This is such a shame because I believe he is talented and could offer so much more professionally. His heart was not in it at all.

Comments below don't describe the person I took my technical writing class from. I like my instructors on the snarky side but this guy was a little over the top on some days. Reminds me of Cenk Uygur. Other than that he covers all the material in a relatable, practical way. Good instructor overall but he seems a bit burned out.

He has a secret second life as a programmer or something. I think he's a robot. Nice guy, very Mr. Rogers personality. Gave me a B+ instead of an A.
