One of the worst classes I took in my 4 yrs there. Don't do it to yourself. The man's a bore, and nasty on top of it.

never spent more time laughing in class at suny. Amato is hilarious, he mumbles these sayings and slurs words that cracks everybody up. other than that the class was very boring.

Easy class. Sometimes takes attendance to keep people honest. Willing to answer all questions. Helpful. Tries to make class interesting, but if you're not into it, you're not into it.

Class is fairly easy, do the reading and attend class...it would be no problem...the guy rambles a lot.. and it is boring.. but not bad for killing a gen ed. requirement

Comment:

The class was fairly easy, but Amato is frustrating to listen to because he rambles from one thing to another and constantly contradicts and corrects himself, almost as if he has ADD. he reminds me of the grown version of Butters from South Park...

Either read the book or attend class; both are not required. Class is hellishly boring & puts most to sleep.

Ohh My Gosh! Dr. Amato was so funny. Did you guys miss the sexiness of the subject and the mental gymnastics?! We love this guy and you can't forget about Kevin and his fingers. CRAZY!
