Comment:

Salemi is the BEST professor in Liberal Studies. You do not even have to read because all his lectures consist of are synopsizes of what you were supposed to read. You do not have to show up to class, but I would only because he tells you exactly what he will test you on and what you need to know. HE IS AMAZING.

Salemi is one of the most knowledgeable, well-prepared professors I've ever had. His lectures are amazing and he is willing to help you if you need further clarification on anything. He's a great guy and an even better professor. Worth the 8 AM (I think he has other classes as well though).

Comment:

Salemi is a great professor. His lectures are rarely boring, even when the material is quite mundane. You will learn a lot. Never need to read the books, just come and take notes. Only one essay, a midterm, and a final exam, all of which are incredibly easy and you barely have to study for them. Definitely worth an 8 AM.

He is the BEST in LS. Two papers and two exams per semester. You barely need to read the books since he explains everything clearly in class. Definitely worth 8 am. Take him if you can!

Worth an 8am class. Easiest class ever. Amazing lectures. You don't have to read because he literally explains the text to you in class. Know what the books are talking about and you get an A. He takes attendance every time so you do have to show up.

Professor Salemi makes you inspired even in a 8am class. I read a lot of amazing classic books when I took his class. He is insightful and knows a lot about his stuff. Do go to the class and you will learn a lot.

Professor Salemi is one of the best in NYU. His lectures are very informative and detailed. The exams aren't hard and he only gives two papers this semester. Go to the lectures at 8 am and then take your notes, and you'll be fine on your exams and papers.

He is a great professor and his lectures are very informative. There's no need to read the books because his lectures are basically telling stories in those books . Go to his lectures and write down everything he says you'll get an A.

Best professor ever! Made me genuinely want to go to his 8am classes. He is so clear about exams its hard to not to do well. No need to even buy the books or do any of the readings. He's just a really nice guy and a great teacher and if his classes weren't so early they would fill up even faster! IF YOU CAN TAKE HIM THEN DO YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Great professor. If you're looking for an easy A and an education he is the man. Very clear cut in what he wants. 2 tests, and 2 essays; second essay was cancelled. 8 am lectures that describe every detail of the book, don't buy the books.

Professor Salemi is an awesome professor. He knows a lot about history and his lectures always kept me engaged. I'm not a morning person, but he made my 8am class something I looked forward to. I learned so much from him and his tests and papers were fair. I definitely recommend taking his class! I had him for CF I and II and wish he taught III.

Comment:

Professor Salemi is very knowledgeable in the areas of study. If you show up on time and take notes, you will get an easy A, but the catch is all his lectures are at 8 am. He is funny at times but gives long lecture. Take notes don't fall asleep and he is basically giving you all the info u need for the mid term and the final. Excellent teacher

This must be the best professor in Liberal Studies in NYU. Never taking attendance after midterm. Cancel one of two papers of a whole semester. No quizzes or presentations. Take notes every class and you can get an easy A.

Take him if you can his class is interesting and he makes it funny at times. It is strictly lecture but worth the 8am. He is concise and to the point. His papers and tests are fairly easy and as long as you show up to class you should be fine. Taking him again for CFII

LOVE SALEMI AND HIS GREEN BERET. I usually don't believe that taking the easy way is the best way, but in this case I agree. Don't buy the books. All you have to do is show up to class and listen to stories. Salemi is a master storyteller and he loves cussing and talking about sex. He is hilarious and you will learn alot in his class with no work.

Comment:

This is by far the easiest class you will take, but you learn a lot. Basically a guaranteed A. He goes fast, just write down everything he says and you will be fine for the midterm and final. I barely had to study. Always says there will be 3 papers, but he canceled the last 2 and is an extremely easy grader. Don't buy the books. Not worth it.
