Comment:

Prof Capobianco was a great professor. He really gets into it, and the discussions in class turned out to be interesting. I didn't think that I'd like a philosophy class, but Capobianco made this a great class. I am going to take another class with him sometime. Mostly short papers and quizzes.

My best class of the semester even though it was a required class. Lots of grades over the course of the semester and reasonable short-answer quizzes. Capobianco made both philosophy and art really interesting and brought the two together. We had great discussions that apply to life. He's a great speaker and a great guy too.

A fantastic course that really made a difference in my life. Prof. Capo really knows his stuff on this, and he was so supportive of my work. I still talk to him about it today.

I loved Professor Capobianco. He made the course interesting and is a very quirky but funny guy. Make sure you study for quizzes!! There are a lot of books you have to buy but the reading isn't too much! I would recommend him!

I took this course because it sounded interesting and it ended up being my favorite for the semester. Prof C is a fantastic person and a great teacher. You really get into deep discussions and everyone gets involved. I would take this class again if I could.

Easy class as well as quizzes and papers. Spelling counts on quizzes & bring papers to the writing center. No final and one easy group paper. BRING YOUR BOOKS TO CLASS. Very interesting discussions that got the class engaged, funny and makes you think. Overall, good guy but somewhat rude. Pushes his liberal views on everyone within his lectures.

Comment:

He was very passionate about philosophy and really encouraged participation. I was happy he didn't give a midterm or final. I didn't think it was appropriate to have quizzes instead there should have been short papers. There was a group project with a paper. His homework was mostly reading, which could sometimes be difficult to understand.

This class and the others I've taken with Prof Capo have changed my whole way of seeing things and I've learned so much from this man. I consider him my mentor because he's helped me think for myself and pursue my own goals in life. I think that he is an amazing person and professor, and I recommend that you take any class with him.

Comment:

My favorite professor at Stonehill. I took his intro class freshman year, and it lead to me becoming a philosophy minor. His classes are super engaging, and you can tell all he wants is for his students to learn. He is one of two TOP 100 professors at Stonehill, and if that doesn't say enough he is also one of the leading Philosophers of Heidegger.

This was the best class I took. I didn't know what philosophy was about, but prof Capo's lectures and the discussions were really interesting, and I want to take more courses in the future. He really loves what he is doing, and he gets very excited if you ask questions or talk about philosophy.

Really nice guy and easy class. Weekly fill-in quizzes and a group project, plus no final or midterm. Discussions are interesting and he is a very reasonable grader with fair expectations. A little old-school (no laptops and preparedness checks). Definitely worth taking if you're more of a test-taker than a writer.

Comment:

Professor Capobianco is extremely nice and is always willing to help. He has a very old school teaching style and there are a lot of oral quizzes. He is a stickler for attendance and bringing textbooks to class. Sometimes he will even grade you on preparedness. Overall, he is a very passionate professor and made philosophy interesting and fun!

Prof Capo is truly an inspiring teacher and he works so hard to get the class fired up about philosophy. He made me really want to think about things in a new and different way, and I am going to take another phil class. He is also such a nice man and I would go to him for advice about anything. Take a class with him if you can.

Comment:

Professor Capobianco is a very interesting and talented professor, but the class could be pretty insufferable. Because it's a required class, most people in there were disinterested in participating in class, and really held back the class as a whole. Still, Capobianco is great.

The existentialism class with Capo was a life-changer for me. The readings and discussions got me thinking in a whole new direction and his passion for the subject is amazing. He really cares about what he is teaching.
