Comment:

Dr. Fucci is extremely intelligent in his field. Yes, he is a tough grader, but overall it made me a better writer. He is all about us making our own ideas. I liked this, it gave us a lot of freedom to write what we want to write about. He's intimidating at first, but I thought he was hilarious as well! His lectures are long but interesting.

Comment:

Fucci is horrible! Do not take!!! He flat-out says that he does not care if his students succeed and he is the toughest grader! He also quizzes the class on the newspaper every day, which is irrelevant to the class. A good portion of his students fail his classes!

Great professor who knows what he is teaching! He is a tough essay grader, but if you take the time to get feedback and listen to his suggestions, you can get an A on the essays. Funny at times, and loves to have interesting class discussions. Definitely improved my writing skills tremendously. Deadlines aren't formal, but I recommend following.

He is a great professor, very knowledgeable at what he teaches and I'll be wrong if I said he wasn't one of the top teachers I've had. Don't expect this course to be easy, it won't be. However you will learn a lot.

I've taken Fucci twice now, first for the gen ed, then for American Drama. He is fantastic. He gives you a lot of freedom for your paper topics, and he's willing to suggest plays when you ask. Fucci is an amazing lecturer and has seen almost every play ever written. 3 papers, a few quizzes, no midterm or final. I recommend this class!

Brilliant professor. Absolutely brilliant. Easy class. Do the readings, show up, take notes. He assigns 3 papers & 1 presentation per semester & the final. If you take notes in class, you pass with an A. I showed up late, and never read, handed in my papers late, BUT I paid attention in class. I still got a B+ ( i had taken his class previously )

Comment:

Absolute worst class ever. He has made reading Shakespeare horrendous for me, and all he does is complain about how dreary high school teachers teach it. He spends the first hour of class droning on about how much he enjoys the theater, and NEVER TEACHES ANYTHING. He falls asleep during his own movies, and has no interest in doing anything.

Comment:

He is one of the best professors here at Ramapo. Seriously. There's no denying that his class is hard, and he expects a lot from his students. You'll probably despise him at multiple points in the semester, but you'll soon realize it's a love/hate relationship with him. However he only assigns 3 papers, 1 research paper, and a proj. on pop culture.

Fucci is an amazing professor. He is the smartest man I have ever met. He has very interesting and logical point of views and you you cannot prove him wrong no matter how hard you try. His class is very challenging and he's a tough grader but if you put in an honest effort, you will be fine. BTW he's only given an A+ once in his teaching career

Fucci, one of the founding professors at Ramapo is one of the most intellegent professors I've ever had. After transferring to Ramapo after Rutgers, I have to say he is the best! Very helpful, interesting, knowledgable, and approachable. If you are a lit major take his classes!!!

Comment:

Fucci is an excellent professor if you enjoy English, but it can be a burden if you are overwhelmed in other courses - especially if his class is just a gen ed requirement. Only take a class with him if you are a Lit major or are interested in becoming one. He is an inspiration to me.

I hated this class every moment that I was in it but now that it's over, I'm glad I went through with it. Fucci is tough but he will force you to become a better writer. I am now confident that I will never have any problems writing another college paper ever again. I received an A as my final grade for this class; not easy but totally worth it!

Comment:

He's actually really easy! I'm not even an english major and I found myself getting A's on his paper simply. He has a certain way that he wants you to write. Once you write that way, writing in his class will be cake! Do tutoring and the readings. If you want a REAL education at Ramapo, this is THE guy! Never dull in his class. Good luck!

Great Professor who knows everything about everything. The first day of class, he makes his class sound likes its going to be impossible so kids drop his class. There is no midterm or final, and six papers and a final presentation in the last class. Don't take this class if your don't motivated. I got a B or B+(didn't give final grade yet)

He is the hardest english teacher ever. He will make you do extra work for no reason. However, he is an awesome person. He really helps you improve your writing as well as learn to think critically. Only take him if you are a dedicated student. It's a love/hate relationship.

Fucci is a nice guy. Very cynical, but still nice. He requires a lot of work, and towards the end he gets a little deadline happy with the papers. Overall, a nice guy and a tough class.

Comment:

Good Professor. Will really help your writing skills even though all you doing is citing stuff from other writers. but i have to say sometimes he doesnt know what he wants you to do. i totally went against him and did what i wanted one time and he loved it. I'm good at english and I ended up with a B in his class.
