The teacher is very funny and very much involved in our generation, which makes his humor all the more... humorous. He is slack and flexible with papers and all that. However the writing in this class is absolutely ridiculous and you can NOT miss a single class. Take this into consideration before singing up for the class.

Excellent professor, if you attend classes and take notes you'll probably earn an A. Always try to use your own words in the papers you write, and you will see that you will get a good grade for a miserable paper.For him _honesty- is extremely important. So do not copy and paste. He will hate you.

The only way not to like professor D'Ascoli, is if you get offended by what he says. Guess what? If you tend to get offended, DON'T TAKE A HUMANITIES class. Professor D'Ascoli is fun, knowledgeable, and expects you to do your work. Plagiarize, and you're in his crosshairs. The best professor I've ever met.
