Comment:

I had him for a total of 4 courses between the years of 1999-2001, including Troilus & Cressida, Canturbury Tales, King Arthur and Middle English Lit. Easily my favorite and most memorable professor ever, I still keep in touch with him, on and off. Glad to see his name on here.

Comment:

I took his courses in the early nineties. He was a compassionate, brilliant man who stood by his convictions regardless of popular opinion. He saved me from myself on more than one occassion. As a successful educator today, I find myself recalling him on moments when I need inspiration.

Comment:

Makes a subject that could bore anyone to death, incredibly interesting. He is an amusing character that has no shame talking about "touchy" subjects. I am so thankful to have had him. This is his last semester teaching, and he will be missed

Vincent wrote me a recommendation for grad school. He's ironically pedantic, often hilarious, and always informative. I aspire to one day BE Vincent DiMarco. Thanks Vincent.

Vince is insane but brilliant, intimidating but hilarious. And he speaks Middle English.
