Steve Casanova passed away on 1/22/2009. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. I owe so much to Steve. He was a great teacher, mentor, and friend. I wish everyone could have known him the way I did.

Comment:

Although class was somewhat unorganized, it was the easiest class ever! I got 104% because of his curve! Go to class cause lecture notes are important, although they are online, his off note lectures might show up. He has lot's of videos that you have worksheets on too. Very easy grader!!!! You really can't fail! His test is his study guide!

Steve was a joy to have as a teacher. He is very smart, but sometimes shy and timid. However, Steve rules!

He is a very nice man and fair in his grading. I find it childish to whomever picked on him for his stuttering. How would you feel if it was you? He is helpful and will clarify anything. Very appraochable. This was a very informative class

Comment:

I took a class with Steve and did a study abroad thing and I learned a lot from him. It takes patience because it seems like he gets nervous speaking or something, but he has a lot of great information to share and a lot of experience behind him.

I really enjoyed him as a teacher. He had some very presentable material to show about the Chicano people. The people that don't like him just don't care about the issuess!

Casanova was the first teacher i had at SCSU that really angered me. Last day of class he told us that the reason he was not a good teacher was because he had a bad divorce. great. After that our gardes did not get turned in until late summer!!!!

Comment:

A great teacher, has really good material to get great infromation about the feild in Chicano Studies. People who don't understand him aren't open minded to understanding to what the material is about. It is already hard to come to a school where your a minority but its good to see a face who cares.

Comment:

He is the most boring teacher you will ever have! All you have is long and boring tests to write. He is very unclear, disorganized and slow! If you like a long boring 3 hour nap,then this class is perfect. He is a nice teacher but way too boring!!!
