Comment:
Sforza is a pretty cool guy, but if you are really interested in Newspaper Writing, he may be too laxed for you. However, I'm not sure if his laxed tone works in our favor; it's a lot of self teaching & trusting yourself. Super sarcastic, but it's funny & charming. Sends you out on surprise interviews, helped me to get out of my comfort zone.

Super sarcastic but you learn to laugh at it. You write news stories almost every class, but they aren't that hard. You can hand some things in late just make sure you talk to him about it before hand. I learned the ways of the news which was helpful. If you have his early class he switches the class to 9am and we got out early lots of times.

There were many positives and negatives to this newswriting class. Basically you get to pick the topics though sometimes his grades seemed to be tough but on the plus he started class late and we always got out early too. Was kinda sarcastic and took almost a full month before any grades came back.

Comment:
Producing the Newspaper - He didn't even teach anything. He usually just left it up to the student editors to get the work done. The class was an easy A but I didn't learn a thing. Paper "regulars" were rude. The thing that bothered me most about him was the fact that a student was caught blatantly plagerizing and didn't recieve any repurcussions.

If you're seriously interested in journalism, Dan's about as good as it gets. This man does it every day for a living, so if you can't handle him, you're probably not going to get far in the news business. Best professor at Ramapo.

Dan is probably the best professor I've had at Ramapo so far. He really knows what he's talking about and can really help you be a better journalist. Definitely take this class and any others he teaches. Smart guy, sarcastically funny, great class.

While you have to meet weekly deadlines for the newspaper and work with other students as your editors, Sforza makes the newsroom an interesting place to be. There is no other class like it at Ramapo

Though extremely sarcastic, Dan tells you it like it is. He never keeps you the entire two and a half hours. He even bought us Dunkin' Donuts!

Dan Sforza is the greatest professor Ramapo has ever had. He mixes in humor with his tough but educational lectures. Plus he wrestled an alligator, how cool is that?
