Comment:

Best Professor at Fordham. His class was often the highlight of my day with how funny his sense of humor is. Gives a few quizzes that he'll give the answers to beforehand, a few homeworks on notes, and a few extra credit opps. When he asks someone to be the scribe, consider it, easy a. Class rarely lasts the full time slot. Would take again.

Comment:

FrD is the best professor you'll have. If you show up to class, do the little bit of work that he asks, and engage in discussion, you will learn an unreal amount about life in general, and most importantly, God. Keep in touch with him after your course. He has a stellar reputation around the university and knows everybody, so he can help you out.

Comment:

Gotta love him! Funny, laid back. He had a smile on his face every morning. Class rarely ever lasted the full 50 minutes. The notes were sent to us by an appointed scribe in the class. No papers! 4 quizzes- mainly true or false questions. If you get the opportunity to take him, DO IT! Father D is amazing.

Comment:

Father D is a gem. Although he doesn't take attendance he notices who shows up so attendance is kind of necessary. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and his final was a list of notes from a lecture. His quizzes are all true and false and there is an appointed scribe in the class who sends out the notes for each class. He is amazing

He is such a lovely guy. He makes funny jokes but for the most part classes are fairly boring. He is an easy grader and doesn't give a lot of homework. Just for his personality i would take him again.

Comment:

He is overall great man that respects everyone whether you are a student or student athlete. He understands how college is for everyone so doesn't give a lot of homework. It's a stress free class and he's a funny guy once he starts giving lecture on the lesson. Notes wise, he basically says everything so be on your toes when writing down the notes

Comment:

If you have the choice, take Father Denniston! He is such a nice man! We had no papers; we just had to read some chapters and fill two pages with bulleted facts (which is really simple). His tests have questions that we didn't really cover in class, but he's pretty lenient with grading. Also, he keeps his lectures interesting with fun anecdotes.

Comment:

Father Denniston is popular because his class is easy and he tells funny stories and makes a lot of jokes (hopefully you have a good sense of humor because the jokes are often about students). The assignments are easy, but the grading is arbitrary. Quizzes have info not covered in class. The class is entertaining, but i didn't learn much.

A nice man and overall good teacher. But his lectures can be kind of scattered and you're screwed if you don't take notes. Easy work wise as there are only several quizzes and three or four small papers.

Great professor and easy class. Only problem is that everyone does too well, so the average ends up being pretty high. Just take notes on everything he says, you'll get an A.

Comment:

Father D is often recommended for the f&c class because he is really funny and is an easy grader. He goes easy on athletes and science majors, which is good if you are one. Papers are really easy. Quizzes can be confusing, because since he teaches so many sections,he asks questions about content not covered in class. He has extra credit options.
