Comment:

Teaches useful and interesting stuff. Engaging lecturer. Gets on your level. Pushes people to participate. Lots of opportunity for extra credit and redemption. Picky grader, but only about logistics. If you pay attention to the details about structure and framework......the composition.....then you're golden. Gives above average feedback.

I loved Professor Licata! I took him back in 2012 and I thought he was hilarious, witty, and easy to get along with. Be to class on time, bring in your work on time (he is slightly lenient) and ask for help when needed! I recommend him.

This is a teacher who makes you work. He doesn't let you stay in your comfort zone, and pushes you better yourself and writing skills. I was a little frustrated with this at first, but he is very will to give extra help as you need it. Quite funny as well, lots of dry humor.

I loved him ! Dry humor, but I thought he was funny. His instructions are VERY clear. They're 3 papers and he demonstrates exactly how he wants them. A LOT of people complain on how hard he grades but I think if you can take instruction well, then you'll do fine. I got a B in ENC 1101 and an A in ENC 1102. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I do not think that the experience I had in his class was useful. I love language and literature but did not enjoy the class. Do not take him.

Comment:

Professor Licata is the best English professor I have ever had. I use what he taught me for every paper I write in school, even to this day. The class is not terribly hard but you have to put some effort into your papers. He is strict but it helps with your writing. I received an A on every paper and he made me feel very competent. I recommend him!

I absolutely hated to write before this class. Dr Licata set clear expectations and provided great feedback. Now I do not dread writing a paper as much.

Comment:

I took Dr. Licata back in Summer 2012. He has a pretty good sense of humor which makes class fun. Many have said that his grading is pretty tough and that is true, though he does offer up chances to make corrections and resubmit. Though that may be frusrating at the time, I have noticed a huge improvement with my papers in later classes.

Comment:

He's a funny guy but he's way too anal when it comes to his grading. For some reason he thinks that we are all English majors and should be able to write a paper on his level within 2-3 months learning although he's been doing this stuff for several years! It's really hard to get an A in his class. But he is funny though!

Comment:

Dr. Licata is a very passionate professor. He is extremely knowledgeable as vell as very helpful in all aspects of this class. Between his office hours and email he has very easy access for questions. This class is not an easy A. If u attend class regularly and ask questions there is no reason u cant have an A. By far my best collegiate professor.

This is a genuinely wonderful professor. This is not an easy A class by any means but he actually wants to teach and the students actually have to try. If you want to learn, take his class.

Comment:

Dr. Licata is quite an interesting professor. His class is not easy and focuses more on Literature than it does on the Holocaust, even though the works studied are on the Holocaust. He is very fair, grades tough but what you get, in my estimation....you earn. Many chances to improve. He's a great teacher, no doubt and his interest level shows!

Great English teacher! I learned so much in his class. He cares more about making sure you understand the material than forcing you to write essays blindly. I took him for 1101 AND 1102. Wish VCC offered a creative writing class with him and I would take him again!!

Comment:

Dr. Licata is the BEST! I actually enjoyed his sarcasm and humor and I always looked forward to his class. If you are looking for an easy A, DO NOT take him! But if you want to learn how to really write, take him! You have to give him what he wants, or you will get a low grade. Finally, do not use YOU in any of your essays! lol! ;)
