Comment:

Dr. Carbone likes to talk and ask the tough questions. He never finishes a sentence with the same thought he started with (which makes him very confusing to listen to). Its impossible to predict the test material which makes the two exams very difficult. He's a nice guy with great ideas. He's the reason I chose to join the education program.

He's hilarious! I took his class several years ago and still remember many of the things he taught us because of the personal, political, entertaining twist he gave his lectures.

Comment:

He is very entertaining but gets off topic. He is very nice and cares about his students. I am not interested in history and politics, but I looked forward to his class. Do not expect an A because he only gives A's to at most 5 students each semester.

Comment:

Appears to think he is a better professor than he actually is. Can be sarcastic and hurtful and insensitive. Why is he the head of this department?

Comment:

Rude. Belittles students. Does not understand some of his students nor cares to. Does not respond to email requests regarding explanation of grades. Odd choice for head of the department when he does not display the positive qualities of a good teacher.

Comment:

Extremely difficult grader, does not return the final exam. Knowing what he wants is difficult--best to agree with him on everything. A requirement for Education students, a bother for everyone else.

Carbone is the best -- he's my advisor and I love him. Honestly, you have to take him with a grain of salt & sense of humor. If you're not enjoying his class, you need to lighten up BIG time!

Comment:

Carbone is comic relief, which is great if you've got him and Milligan. He may seem political but the man knows what he's talking about. Schools are political minefields. He's an easy grader if student teaching thing but Foundations, be forwarned!

Comment:

Like someone else said, I like him more as a person than a teacher. He's hilarious, and if you're a liberal you'll probably like him a lot. If not, I can see why some of his comments might upset you. Still, he's a pretty good teacher, and really seems to care about creating good teachers.

Carbone is great! Although I like him better as a person than as a professor, he still is a gifted educator. His class got boring at points but I think it was because the material was so dry.

It's embarrassing that he is the head of the education department and he can't even teach a class. He doesn't know my name or that I'm even in the department.
