Comment:

Absolutely brilliant professor. By far the best professor of my entire academic career. Thought provoking, stimulating, engaging, and razor sharp wit sum up Professor Vallicella. As a student who later attended a top ranked University for my masters, I often looked back to Professor Vallicella's class as firm foundation in my education.

Comment:

This was probably the least demanding class I've ever taken.Ever.It was nice,though.We'd read a few poems at home each week and then come to class and just talk about them.No busy work.We had 2 papers and the final exam,and he's a pretty easy grader. Great sense of humor for those who aren't easily offended.He's probably George Carlin's # 1 fan.

I can't stop laughing at these comments. FYI - Prof V is a real professor. Welcome to college! Instructors don't have to teach you anything. Your have to do the studying and researching on your own. Your instructor is there to just clarify anything you didn't understand from your own studying. Great professor. Take his class. You won't regret it.

Professor Vallicella is the best!!!!! He's funny and extremely knowledgable, so you will never be bored plus you'll learn so much from him. LOVED the class! With that said, don't assume that it's going to be super easy, you have do your part. He's fair in his grading but he also expects college level writing so be prepared!

Comment:

He is an incredibly wity man. As the other comments suggest, I don't think he means half the things he says. He is just of the bull sh!t bureaucracy from administration. He truly has the capacity of being an amazing teacher. But sadly, he is retiring. So, it's unlikely he will have any incentive to give a darn.

Comment:

He is quite a character! From what he says you will think he is heavily republican, but i think he just enjoys pushing everybody's buttons and pissing off people. Very fun class. Definitely recommend him:)

Comment:

In a way, he's class is easy because he has his own structure for essays but in the other way, it is not easy because the structure that he prefers is not the same as you have learned from the other english teachers. However, he's clear about what he wants in your paper so it's not a problem but just be careful about the grammars. Very nice prof.

Comment:

Professor Vallicella is amazing. He really taught our class not only about literature in poetry, but about life! We strayed off topic a lot in class, yet somehow it always correlated. Time really flew by in this class. He's realistic, and is more than fair to the students he truly believes have some sense! Totally different when one on one.
