Comment:

I took Dr. C once on campus and once online. He is the ideal professor. In his classes, you read short stories and choose one to write about. overall the papers were easy, you turned in rough drafts before the real thing to better edit and make a better grade. Worked in groups, class discussions. His office is always open and he is very kind.

Comment:

Dr C is AMAZING. He is such a gem of a teacher. He loves teaching and wants you to do well in his class. Everything is open from the beginning. He's very quick to respond to email and offers help in person if needed. I never thought I was good at English/writing but he made me feel confident in my writing ability.

Comment:

I will be honest, I did not put forth as much effort as I should have. However, Dr. Calatrello is a very kind and understanding individual. He replys very quickly via email, and will assist you with any problems you may have. My favorite thing about the course is the honesty he has when he grades your papers. He wants you to succeed. NO EXTRA CRED.

Took Dr. C. last semester and it awesome. Everything is available from day one and he allows you to work at your own pace as long as you meet the deadlines. You can tell he loves teaching. Students complaining about his grading must be weak. Great feedback on papers. would def take again.

Comment:

If you get a 69.75 dont expect him to round it up after asking. He responds to emails in a timely manner up until you ask him about rounding up your grade then hes M.I.A. Only taking this class again because I know what to expect but know that Im not looking forward to it

Comment:

Very tough grader on papers with little explanation attached. Never turn anything in late, he won't accept it. Criptive in reviews offers no useful feedback. Loads all assignments on first day. Exams and quizzes are easy to pass if you watch the videos and read over the stories.

Comment:

I took Dr. Calatrello's Eng 102 class online this semester. He is a good professor, but his instructions for the papers are very confusing and make no sense. He is tough when it comes to grading papers, the quizzes and exams are very easy if you read the stories he tells you to read and watch the videos he provides.

Comment:

Dr. Calatrello is a very good English professor. It's not a "gimme" class- you have to work for the grade and he *is* a tough grader on papers- but by no means an extremely hard course either. We had about 9 quizzes, 3 tests, and three 2-3 page papers to write. He is open to changing your grade if you can defend your position with the textbook.

Comment:

This is a great teacher and absolutely loves what he does. He is super enthusiastic when he teaches and is funny. He does give pop quizes almost every single class, but they are easy as long as you read. You also will have a group project, which is a simple powerpoint presentation. His tests are all essays and he is a little tough on the grading.

I took English 102 online. He loads everything for the semester the first day. There are several quizzes for each section with a test for each section and a paper for each section. He gives you a sample paper for the required papers so you know what he is looking for. I recommend him.

I took his online class and he is just phenomenal! He is very enthusiastic about what he is teaching. If you have questions you can email him directly through the course on blackboard and his response is very quick. He opens all class assignments the very first day and you can do them at your own pace. wonderful professor!

I learned from his class which means a lot to me. The reasonable amount of time given for each unit made assignments easy and at no point did I feel discouraged. He is true to his word when he says you can do well in this class while holding a full-time job. Would take him online or in person again.
