I took his creative writing course this semester and a lot of the class was spent critiquing other classmate's poetry and having conversations about life in general. He was a really cool guy and there were no exams or final, just an easy A if you handed in all your poems and showed up for class.

One of the funniest professors Ive had. Dont show up late, hell embarrass you, but its all in good fun. Ive never laughed so hard at 9 in the morning. Currently halfway through the semester and Ive only had to write a few poems so far. DONT FORGET THE TEXTBOOK. He wrote it himself. Overall, easy and fun class, 10/10 recommend!

Prof Agostino is a decent guy. Just show up on time and don't be absent, and don't yawn in his face while hes lecturing(lol). His assignments are straight forward, just do them on time. And also he requires at least some participation from you. So if you think your just gonna sit their quiet the whole time, it ain't happening, he'll def call on u

Had him for creative writing. Only had to write four poems throughout semester got a B/B+ on all four. Made us rent his textbook he wrote but rarely used it. He is hilarious. He likes when people participate. No final exam.

This guy is hilarious! He makes lectures so much fun! He teaches you to think outside of the box and allows you to really understand critiquing. He is honest and up front in his analysis of your work, and sometimes its harsh, but it made me a better writer!

I think this man has a big heart. He is a great teacher and passionate at what he teaches. He knows the bible from many different perspectives. Respectful of religion though the class is LITERATURE of the bible. You will learn a different side that you won't get in any church and have a much better understanding of the bible. Glad I took his class!

This was a developmental class I took in my first semester. I was not excited about taking it but Prof. Agostino is the best!! I wish I could take another class with him. I absolutely loved his class.

Probably the one of the best teachers that I have ever had. He really is understanding and tries to see the best in everyone's work. Only thing is that he doesn't have a filter, so be prepared to be told off if you're slacking off or causing trouble in his class. Other than that, AMAZING professor, definitely recommended!

MUST BE THERE ON TIME! Do not yawn or sleep. Class is fairly easy, expect 5-6 essays (short, he doesn't ask for super long essays usually 1-3 pages) Class will be boring if you don't participate.

Started out thinking he was an opinionated jerk and he kind of is. Started liking him based on some of his constructive criticism but was upset that he didn't accommodate an absence when I was sick. Dropped my letter grade and didn't think that was fair. Worked my butt off and followed his advice the best I could. Showed his true colors later

Creative Writing was easy and fun. If you miss a class, be sure to find out what you miss as assignments are discussed in class. Poems are written for the whole semester with the option of writing one short story towards the end. Do not write poems that rhyme, or have any cliches. Also if you cannot handle criticism, do not take this class.

Extremely funny!! Very intimidating at first... Unsure how I feel, I have mixed feelings about Prof. Agostino! He was very funny and helpful in critiquing my poems, but could be unrealistic. HATES when you use the words soul, life, happiness, etc. on poems! Hard to please but helpful grader in the end. Uses textbook often, always bring it !!!

He's kind of intimidating at first but you'll learn that he is really nice and funny. He doesn't take excuses though. we rarely used our books we had to buy. The essay topics are interesting. Show that you care and take his advice and you'll have no problem. I didn't expect to like him so much :)

He is a really tough professor. Almost impossible to get an A and he is really weird. He hates it when you yawn and he gets off topic easily.

Don't take his Creative Writing class especially if you want to get an A. He has favoritism and he is just really annoying. All we did is write poems. We critiqued our classmates and didn't learn anything. Frankly, he was very rude.
