John was such an amazing professor! He was the best! He had the good sense of humor, his projects were always fun, and you will have a whole month in advance to work on it. He was always understanding, and does accepts late work up until the final. I would definitely take him again!

Was always a class to look forward coming to, constantly laughed, interesting lectures, low homework, cared about you and your grade. I would definitely take any of his classes again. It was a real treat and he is one of the BEST teachers I have ever had. You will not regret taking his class.

Comment:

Professor Licitra was a fantastic professor whom I had the pleasure of taking his Coun 150 course with. Over the course, he kept all of us engaged and I learned a lot from his course. He's an extremely understanding professor, who wants his students to succeed and find the right career for themselves. I learned a lot about what I want thanks to him

Comment:

He is one of the most enjoyable professors I've had in a long time. He's incredibly understanding, kind, unexpectedly hilarious. It's great to have such a high level of psychological security with a professor, but his classes are not just enjoyable; his expertise as a counselor will be evident throughout and offer invaluable insight in any career.

Comment:

Hes a great guy, funny, smart, very knowledgable. However i don't feel i learned a lot in his career exploration. Very unstructured class. He's a counselor too so i understand but idk. he brought in someone from World Financial Group.. i don't think he knows what it is and was just helping a friend. research tells me its a pyramid scheme...

Comment:

He's very passionate about helping students figure out what career they want, but I don't think he knows how to get them there. Lectures were sloppy and disorganized. Lots of busywork. Sometimes he didn't stick to the schedule on the syllabus. I don't feel like this class helped me decide on a career. Take it with someone who has more structure.

Comment:

I'm taking him for COUN102 right now. Great teacher! Very nice and personable, and the lectures are fun. Just make sure you do all of the assignments and on time, and you'll not only get an easy 'A', but also get a lot of useful information about your future career and where you want to go in life. It helps that he's a career counselor at IVC, too.

He doesn't give you a grade throughout the semester. Lectures. Grades easily. There is a project where you interview someone with a job you would like, really easy and great for future job decisions.

Comment:

Licitra is one of my FAVORITE professors. He truly cares about all his students and puts his all into every class. He is fun, outgoing, and just the nicest human being. He is very understanding and though he does expect his students to do their work, he can be reasonable with late assignments. Easy to pass his class and also easy to love it.

The goal of the class is to be there and participate. This class really comes down to getting what you put in. John is amazing at what he does and there is no question about it. The class isn't meant to be a grade oriented class, but rather, it is a class to learn a lot your own self. I got a lot from this class and this is the type is amazing!

This class is a career exploration class, it's a great class because it helps you to narrow down your options in regards to choosing a major, it goes through a series of professional job occupations where you discover for yourself who you are and what you want to be in the feature. The Professor is super great and is willing to help.

Comment:

Licitra honestly cares about his students and his job. He's got the quirky dad jokes but hes always entertaining. He tries so hard to keep you engaged and to care, sometimes its a slippery slope since his classes are for credit and really nothing more. Being friendly goes a long way, attendance totally optional, do the homework and you'll be fine.

Students think he's easy. But really, he's nice. He can be hard grader and not give extra credit,but he cares for his students, so he doesn't. He is very passionate and has an interesting past. I would recommend this professor to anyone.

Easy class & he's extremely lenient on attendance (as long as you email him before you're absent, you still get points for that day). He tries to keep you entertained. Maybe tries too hard. Sometimes boring & I didn't feel like he really cared if you tried or not. I don't feel like I gained anything from this class though. It was almost too easy.
