Comment:

He's a retired professor who still does a few classes a semester so he doesn't care too much anymore. He gets very easily side tracked and moves very slow. Says you need the book but it is not necessary. Strict with attendance. I really do not feel like I learned much but it was pretty easy to pass. One paper and 2 tests. Has some funny stories.

Comment:

Dr. Cannatelli seems like a really nice guy and he can be really funny at times, but I practically learned nothing from his class, and I attended every lecture. There was not a lot of homework other than reading, but he doesn't tell you what to study for his exams at all. Be prepared to listen to lecture.

Comment:

Frank is a real funny guy and is pretty understanding too. It's impossible to fail this class and there's no work besides a midterm, final, and paper. You have the entire semester to turn in the paper and can rewrite it as many times as you want. He talked about his personal life a lot to lighten things up. He kinda reminds me of Joe Pesci though.

Comment:

Honestly did not learn more than I already knew in this class. You have a midterm, term paper, and final. All easy if you go over the notes and understand what will be on the test. He is very lenient when it comes to handing in assignments, especially the term paper. Just talk with him, do the work and you'll be fine.

You learn nothing in this class. Only assignments were midterm, research paper and final. The research paper is not due until right before Thanksgiving so basically you do absolutely no work for the class until then.

Comment:

He doesn't explain things good, and he when he thinks he told you something and you have a question on the that topic he gets mad. The class is very independent only plus is there is no homework but overall not a good class.

Comment:

Overall not bad. Though he is very confusing with assignments in regard to what they are and when they are due, although he can be lenient with late assignments. He often rambles on about his life experiences as an attorney, which can actually be beneficial to the class. Midterm very easy, other assignments you need to put in the effort.

Comment:

You'll learn a lot if you go to class but the term paper is absurd. A reaction paper to a book: he grades it based on your opinion which is unfair. Also, it's 40% of your grade so he better like your opinion! I needed this class for my minor but I would've taken it with a different professor or at a different school entirely if necessary.

Comment:

Very intimidating professor, but do the work and you will be fine! He is actually a pretty understanding person. I love his class. He is a no-nonsense professor which results in an excellent learning environment. Take him! Midterm, Paper, Final. Case briefs are interesting so do yourself a favor and do them!

Comment:

This is one of the most confusing experiences of my college life. He can be a real jerk at times, and other times very helpful. He likes to give essays for tests, and his term paper is ridiculous. Make sure you footnote everything!

Comment:

He is actually a good teacher. The reviews are a bit harsh. If you go to classes and follow along the class is easy. He is a very fair grader and allows you to redo your main assignment which you have 2 months to hand in. I enjoyed the class and he is very funny at times.

Comment:

I took his class in the mornings. I LOVE his way of teaching. He tells you what he wants from you and when he wants it. This class has no surprises and it is straight forward. I wish other classes were as straight forward as this one. The term paper was the burden of the semester but if you get a good grade, then you get a good grade in the class.

Comment:

His attitude depends on how his day went on his job. He is a lawyer so when he had a bad day at work,we had to pay for it. He asked a question and knowone knew the answer and he stormed the door ignoring us when we TRIED to answer it. Isn't thats what we pay for? Take home mid term, 10 page paper, final exam in class. He calls your name out!!

Comment:

OMG sooo boring. I dread going to his class every time. All he talks about is his life and how he gets divorced like every other week. Seriously, he needs to keep his personal life to himself. He'll try and crack jokes about random things and no one laughs. He horrible and a waste of money

Comment:

I'll be completely honest i thought about withdrawing from the class until i found out the midterm and final were take home and the only other grade there is is a term paper which he lets you redo if you dont like your grade. He was VERY boring but overall it was an easy class
