He honestly is not that hard if you come to class occasionally and talk a little in class youll get a good grade no homework and and SQA due every friday which is maybe a couple sentences and three papers the rest of the year and the last paper is the exam

Comment:

Senior year, I had to take my final required PSC class. I knew of him, but not him. I got to know him. I busted my butt off for him, and it paid off. I put in the effort, and I was rewarded. He understands that students are human. That's why he talked about Wall Street and how tough it can be. He's actually seen the world outside HSC. God Bless KMD

often talked about wall street and made me wonder what else he participated in as a yuppie. Had to drop class late and GPA took a fall. Not the pride of HSC and im surprised they would let him stay

Comment:

He can seem a little crazy, but he's not really so bad if you are respectful in his class. However,if you do something to get on his bad side, then for the love of god, drop the class if you can, because your grade will be screwed.

Comment:

He will lull you past the drop period with extremely generous participation grading. Then he will give you D's and C's on your papers, even if you meet with him beforehand to ensure the paper is what he wants. This is by far the most frustrating class I have taken at HSC.

Comment:

Great teacher, but has to teach below average students. Would be better off at a more reputable institute. "Students" complain about him being tough but HSC students in general are lazy, high and ****. If you have average intelligence take.

Class is boring, he rambles nonstop. Goes off on every tangent possible. Essay topics are vague and extremely difficult. Will talk about 2 lines of text for 3 classes. Avoid at all cost.

The man knows his stuff, but he can never stay on one topic for too long, and i think that he has ADD something horrible, but if you ever need to talk to him about anything then he is going to be there.

Comment:

I didnt learn anything in his WCul classes. He is a really cool guy & funny to listen to but u wont learn a thing. The cool thing is that he only makes u do 3 out of 5 "tests" (big papers) & 4 out of 7 quizzes (short papers). But he grades the big papers hard as hell.

De Luca's good, I had him in WCUL 102 and 103, it's not a lot of work, make up some original points in your papers and you're golden. You can slack off of reading like a ****.
