Chip is adorable. Not the best teacher, but a good guy. He likes class discussion so You MUST do the reading. He will know if you don't. Overall, average professor.

Comment:

Chip's interest in the content made me interested in learning the material. He really knows his stuff and helped the class to understand it. He valued everyone's opinions and encouraged participation from everyone. Chip was always very approachable and helpful both as an instructor and an advisor.

Comment:

Chip means well, he just ruins a class that has a lot of potential. He assigns a lot of reading, but usually doesn't cover it in class. Overall it's not worth your time or money

Comment:

Capraro has a lot of interesting thoughts and points, the problem is he believes that he believe that he is always right! He will often twist your words to make your statements go along with what he thinks. He means well, but is too caught up in his own thoughts.

What a waste of time and money. He is a teacher who ruins the course. Getting good grades doesn't matter because you dont have to do anything to do well. Talk and make usomething up while mentioning masculinty or men and he'll be pleased, esp. if referring to Dylan.

Comment:

Awful experience. Very incompetent as an advisor as well. He literally thinks he invented the field of Men's Studies and if you have any of your own ideas he shoots them down and replaces them with his own, which are generally confusing and illogical.

Comment:

As an alum, I needed to get materials from Dean Capraro for law school. He was unresponsive, unhelpful, and I was lucky that Dean Butler returned from his vacation in time to troubeshoot Capraro's incompetences. I have no confidence in this man and the colleges would be better served without him.

Pretty uninteresting prof. The class was interesting because of the other prof but Capraro was monotonous and made it hard to stay awake.

Comment:

Prof/Dean Capraro is not interesting nor is he helpful. He often tells you he wants to have "dialogue," and then proceeds to tell you exactly what to think. If you write a paper, he'll give you a C, and then if you meet with him and change the paper to reflect his opinion, it will turn into an A.

Comment:

Hes a waste of time. Don't take a class with him...EVER! He puts down his students and expects too much. Be ready to work extremely hard in his class and still attain a B. I hear hes a good dean, but from my own experience hes a horrible teacher.

Great person, terrible teacher. Hard to get a solid grade even when you put alot of work in. I think you should avoid him as a teacher, but welcome him as a dean.

Comment:

Chip is academia in its finest form: A preacher of useless information only good in theory, but is great for keeping people like Capraro at HWS. Good luck getting a job with a major in this worthless discipline. Money well spent.

Chip is a great professor if you put in the effort and interact with him in an intelligent manner. Contrary to belief Chip actually has quite a number of years under his belt teaching. He has expert knowledge in the little studied field of men's studies

Comment:

In our class, he was one of two teachers. He is a DEAN, not a professor and his inexperience in the classroom really show. I couldn't stand to hear him talk most of the time, everything he said was just a long rambling of what our other prof JUST SAID!
