Super easy. Got an A on every paper (even when I thought I did bad) must be an easy grader. We never really did much in class and he gave us plenty of time to write up essays outside of class. Even so its not that much at all, wish I had him this semester!

Comment:

Professor Tucci can be rather difficult to learn from. He isn't particularly interested in listening to other peoples opinions so best to sit back and let him do the talking. He also doesn't use rubrics for grading because he doesn't believe them. He says they are "too much work for him to keep track of."

Just make sure you proofread your paper a zillion times before you turn it in.

I loved taking his class. The books were all interesting, if not captivating (I read a few of them in a day or two). Having said that, participation is a must in this class. He will go around the room and ask everyone at least one question, but it is best to participate without being forced. This, along with reading his feedback, will lead to an A.

I took this as an Arts & Humanities elective and absolutely loved it! Every reading he chose for this course was interesting and his assignments were easy to follow! He is very accessible via email and canvas message and grades very quickly with great and helpful feedback! I will definitely look to take another one of his classes!

Professor Tucci was one of my favorites at AACC. I got an A on every paper. For this course, buy the books that you are supposed to read (and read them) participate in group discussions, and put 6-8 hours into each paper and you will get an A. He is a fair grader and will spend extra time to answer any questions you may have. Great Professor!

You either love or hate Professor Gabriel-Tucci. I personally loved him and thought he was hilarious. Others had a problem with him because he would dismiss their opinions when they tried to debate with him over certain topics. He's a pretty easy grader (I got A's on all 3 papers and an A- on the midterm) and allows 6 skipped classes. Awesome guy.

Comment:

I wanted to hate him. Really, I did. See, the problem with Prof Tucci isn't that he's boring--he's actually quite amusing. The problem is that he's disrespectful to students in a blatant way. Otherwise, very easy grader. He goes over the readings in class, so no need to read the book. Just keep a log of the quotes he notes and you'll get A's.

Comment:

Though I took the class online, I learned more than I learned in any other english class I have taken. He is very nice and reasonable. He wants everyone to get a good grade and provides all the resources needed to receive it. When he graded the essay he always left very nice comments but also constructive comments to help you improve for the future

Interesting Class. Easy once you know what he's looking for. Be aware of his grading you could receive above a 90% but still get a B.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking Professor Gabriel-Tucci's English 121 class. I didn't find him boring at all. He's very knowledgable and passionate about the subject. He takes the time to answer all questions that students have, and he is willing to help them understand their assignments.

Comment:

I don't know if it's just the course, but every class was so dry and boring. Prof Gabriel-Tucci didn't liven it up at all. He rambles endlessly and adds "certainly" to the end of every sentence. If you did well in high school English, you'll probably be fine in this class â€" I would just recommend a better professor.

The books used were mildly interesting. He states his expectations very clearly and will provide good feedback. Just do the work and you get an A. He is also open to reviewing work if you send it in early. Awesome professor! I definitely recommend him.

Comment:

I am currently taking this class online. Very straight forward. Just follow the syllabus & do the work every week.. I like that we have discussion questions to answer but do not have to "respond" to other classmates answers. Papers are due every 2-3 weeks so it is not an overload. The textbooks are interesting too. I recommend this professor.

LOVED his online class. He had participation points for the discussion board, but you weren't forced to sift through a lot of responses from other students. His assignments are clear. His corrections make sense. If you do all of the essays how he asks, you'll get an A. The books he chose for the class were fairly interesting as well.

Comment:

Reasonable professor. Does not expect too much of students but does except a typical amount of writing for an English course. As long as you meet the requirements of each assignment and understand what it takes to write a college essay, you should get an A.
