Comment:
Mr. DelCaro has dynamic, thought-provoking, and enlightening lectures. His homework consists of a 1-2 page essay/week using the textbook as a reference. Although he tackles a lot of sensitive issues most other professors tiptoe around, he does so pretty well. He is upfront with you and appreciates candor in return. Highly recommend to anyone!!!

Peter is very down-to-earth. His lectures are very relevant and interesting. He gives great feedback on every paper due. I highly recommend this dynamic professor and his American Government class to any student.

I take online Intro to Ethics. Basically the same assignment every week: read the chapter and answer the review questions. About 10 questions per week (A LOT MORE THAN IT SOUNDS). Takes me an average of 1 hour to complete an assignment (not including reading). But NO FINAL. So that's good

Comment:
This professor has a background as a lawyer, is an atheist, and is a hardcore. He does not move on his stances and he can be very offensive to a lot of people. Tell him what he wants to hear and you will get an easy A. He has his beliefs, but doesn't treat people who disagree with him badly, if you have a solid argument.

Favorite Professor. Very Opinionated liberal. But very enjoyable, once you get to know him and if you attend regularly you get to know him you will do well, you have to sign a waiver to be in the class because he might offend you =P he throws out your lowest test score, and the final is optional. =) super recommend.

Delcaro is by far my favorite teacher. I have taken three classes with him and I've learned a ton. Lectures can be boring but at the same time very interesting and fun. This guy is definitely an individual. I have received A's in all 3 classes. Be as detailed as possible on your essays and you will do great!

Very opinionated teacher. I enjoyed his rants about the government. Only hard part about this class is keeping your opinion similar to his. NEVER side with the government or its leaders. All discussions should have a reason about why the government and its leaders are wrong with supported information. Do this and your ensured an A.

Excellent professor. Yes, he's very opinionated, but he lets you share your views too. Good sense of humor too.

Comment:
Eh he's OK. Not my favorite prof but he's not too bad. Lectures can be tiresome. He's a very outspoken liberal. I have rather liberal views as well, but even I got tired of his constant rants against Bush and Pawlenty. Tests are all essays, but he gives you all the questions in advance so it's nearly impossible for you to fail if you actually try.

One of the greatest and surely the most honest professor I've ever had. I have disagreed with him on the test, explained myself, and I got full credit. He's a fair (if not easy) teacher, but only if you use your brain!

The key to passing his class: Agree with him. Weekly papers worth 10 pts are awarded extra credit when he agrees, and are slapped into the "F" pile when you state and support your own opinion. Tests are massively hard. Kiss up right away, and yo

Del Caro is way cool and is an awesome teacher. First history teacher that actually made me think and try. Oh yeah, he likes to talk about beer too, so that's cool.
