Comment:
I'm an Eng major/Ling minor. I've taken 3 of His classes & can't wait for the 4th. He is by far one of my favorite profs I've ever had/my fav prof @ ECU. In short, he gives you 4 excused absences. Class is mandatory & it's traditional - no BB, but you won't want to miss it! 3 tests, 1 exam, essay format - STRAIGHT from lecture so take good notes.

Comment:
Aceto has been one of my favorite professors. He does not use BlackBoard. You have a few homework assignments, 3 tests, and a final. All tests are short essay format. He does let you "choose" what questions you answer on assignements/tests. It's not too difficult as long as you show him your effort.

Love him!! Ive taken his classes more than once and find the classes intriguing. If you like to procrastinate and be lazy, this isnt the class for you. He expects a lot from his students but he wants them to learn.

Comment:
It's important to know that Mr. Aceto is full of himself. He makes it clear that he feels though as if the way he teaches grammar is the right and only way. He's also very dismissive when you try to contact him outside of class. His class is pretty easy though. As long as you write down exactly what he wants to hear on his 3 exams you'll do well.

Comment:
I took Dr. Aceto's descriptive linguistics course in spring 2003. I still appreciate the course for the descriptive method, which is useful outside linguistics, and for making me less prejudiced. Dr. Aceto was informed and scientifically defensive. He was also generous and let students explain (final exam essay) the grade they felt they deserved.

Very intelligent person, and trust me he will show it to you. Completely lost in his class, mostly because he teaches old-school, so be ready to seat, and listen to him and don't forget to keep up or you'll be lost the rest of the time!! P.S. (Don't argue with him, because his ALWAYS right)

Comment:
Professor is extremely rude and arrogant. This professor often wrote sarcastic, inappropriate comments on papers. If you are a Christian or a conservative just walk away quickly. He grades you for participation and you will not be able to speak without him mocking and imposing his personal, very liberal opinion.

Comment:
Prof. Aceto is a straight forward guy. He doesn't sugar coat and is blunt. But this class and the way he taught it was awesome. Its a really insightful class on how we speak and why we speak that way. It also opened my eyes to language prejudices. You'll gain a lot from this class and from Prof. Aceto.

Great professor! I'm looking to take some of his classes in the future. Like some reviews have already said, he can be pretty arrogant, but overall he knows what he's doing. 3 exams, all essay questions. I crammed the day of and managed to pass all of them (Though I wouldn't recommend it.) Go to class and look over the notes and you'll do fine.

Comment:
I enjoy the class, but Dr. Aceto is still a very arrogant man. If you offer an opinion that goes against his, he will spend time "correcting" you. He will then let you know how open-minded he is. His assignments are not hard but require time to do. However, be warned: he gives you a grade based on what he feels you deserve, not on what you do.

Without a doubt one of the best professors I've had! Very helpful and respectful, and the class is just so interesting. There are five short papers, but he gives you questions to guide your writing. Tests are short answer but with a little studying, you will be successful. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR is you have the opportunity! Love him!

If you are interested in language, then this is the class for you.You can miss up to 4 days, but you wouldn't want to. Text book is mandatory but it cheap. Presentation mid semester. 7-10 page research paper due at end of semester. This was my favorite class. Plus he's an amazing teacher.

If you are an English major, I would Absolutely take this course with Mr. Aceto. He's respectful, interesting, and welcomes other's opinions during class discussions. He's by far one of the best professor's I've had yet! Definitely take him.

I have taken Dr. Aceto 3 times now. He is a teacher that chooses to use what he considers a very important fuction..the brain. I advise anyone who is not narrow minded to take any of his classes. He is the best teacher I have had while at ECU. Congrats on you baby daughter!
