Comment:

Dr. Nigro is perhaps, the greatest english teacher a person could ask for. I have been through two of his courses and each time my interest level has spiked. He has a great sense of humor and belongs at a four year university. Shasta College is lucky to have him!

Phenomenal!!!!! Dr. Nigro is the best teacher you will ever have. I was not a strong english student prior to the course, but after, it became my strongest subject. Not only does he teach it well, but he has such infectious passion one can not help but get excited about english. Dr. Nigro is knowledgeable teacher and an amazing person.

Probably was one of the best instructors at SC - now has moved on to become a Dean. A major loss to the students.

english 1a with Dr. Nigro was not too hard if you are on top of things. 3 essays and you have to do more for the next. He does a peer reviewing about a week before an essay is due; It really helps.

Great teacher! He holds a peer editing session before papers are due so that people can make corrections, assigns interesting books, and has an interest in the well-being of his students. <3

Comment:

I learned more from Dr. Nigro then I have from any other English teacher. Sometimes the lectures were terribly boring and you had to fight to stay awake but for the most part it was as interesting as English can be and he worked hard to make sure everyone understood. Don't forget the online discussions if you are in the hybrid class!

I took Dr. Nigro's English 1A online this semester and have signed up for his 1b in the fall. I learned more in his class than Idid in any other English class I've ever taken. It was hard but he's very clear as well as extremely hepful and friendly.

Comment:

Nice guy. I was disappointed by lack of originality in assigned reads. Good sense of humor, but irritated me w/ how many movie references he makes in a class about books. Took 13A online, w/ previous exp w/ most of the lit & got an A overall and on essays w/o doing any assigned reading. Google=your friend, online quizzes sometimes from sparknotes

Comment:

Very, very good teacher. He makes some of the hardest literature easy to understand. I found him to be very helpful whenever I asked for an explanation or anything. Very good professor. I took online, and I still found him humorous and intelligent, and normally I'm not crazy about online classes. Very accessible too. Great guy!

Comment:

Dr. Nigro is simply one of the best teachers i have had. He deserves to be called 'Dr. Nigro' because he is so smart. He keeps his class interesting with talks about his past experiences with school, or just trips that he has taken in Japan, Germany etc. If you need help, he is more than happy to help. One of the nicest guys. i HIGHLY reccomend him

Dr. Nigro is one of the most gifted individuals at Shasta College. His was the first course I ever took. I learned everything that I wanted to, and more! Now, 4 years later, he remains a great friend.

Great teacher! I had him for an online class, and the way it was set up made it easy to do. He was clear about things and not too tough of a grader either. I don't particularly like English, but I enjoyed his class (and you only have to write 4 essays as opposed to 8 in some other classes). I would definitely recommend him!

Dr. Nigro is an amazing professor! I have never enjoyed a teacher more than him. There is a lot of work but as long as you keep up, it's pretty easy. He eases you into all three big papers and is very helpful. If you ever need help, don't be afraid to ask him, he is very approachable and gives great advice. He's all around a great teacher.

This is my favorite professor. I had never been able to write good essays until I was in his class. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher. He has high expectations, but is extremely helpful. I LOVED this class!

he's pretty awesome. the class itself is really laid back and is 2 hours long, but he lets you go after the first every day after the first month. the papers can be difficult if you don't work on them a lot, but he has tons of time to help during the extra hour of class. very nice with quirky humor.

Awesome teacher. Puts his expectations from students right on front street. Show up, read the literature and you'll do fine. Always willing to help, just gotta ask him for it!
