Awesome teacher. Class is very interesting and funny. He's a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but it's a cute quirk. Shows a lot of funny youtube videos. Makes writing fun and always answers your emails. I'm taking him next semester too!
Mr. Nappi's class is non-traditional. He is a hard grader, but his lectures are short. He uses a computer lab, the internet, and you-tube examples. Save your money on books(MY LITTLE BROWN HANDBOOK OR NORTON SAMPLER), we didn't use them once. Graded on a grammar midterm, 4 papers, and the final. Nappi is interesting.
Very helpful. Uses the internet and MyCompLab a lot. 4 papers and little writing assignments. Never used the book. Youtube videos are his favorite but it helps get the point across. take the in afternoon not in the morning if you like to sleep in. Good teacher.
The most amazing professor i've had in my entire life! He encourages all of his students to become active learners, and he's not easy you do need to do work for your grades. I'm horrible at comp. classes but I got an A! If you care about learning then hes the right teacher to take....hes also a lot of fun and easy to talk to.
He's a great teacher, and I learned more than I thought I could in a Comp. class. He's a great teacher, and provides plenty of examples to get his point across. He's also pretty funny. I'm taking his Comp2 class, and I recommend him for anyone.
mr. Nappi is the best darn comp. teacher
nappi was a good teacher...the way he teaches is different from most..
Great teacher.If you pay close attention to due dates (especially on quizzes) you should get an A or B.
Pretty good teacher! Don?t bother to buy his book, he teaches off you tube videos and Wiki. An assignment will be given every week that is at least 200+ words. Most are not that hard, some made me want to rip my hair out. There were times I couldn?t get them in until the next morning and he was very understanding. Lite review for the midterm, it wa
Nappi made what I thought was going to be an unbearable class enjoyable. He makes you work for your grade, but it's not that hard if you give it some effort. He has an interesting teaching style and mixes a his sense of humor into it. Don't waste your money on a book; all stories can be found online or photocopied at the library for about $5.
Mr. Nappi is the best teacher I have had so far!! He makes you really think. He is very smart, sincere, and very funny! He makes writing fun and helps you look at your writing style in a whole new way! I would reccomond him to anyone!
Thumbs up across the board for this class and professor. Class was fun and interesting, assignments were varied including group assignments and interaction in class. Professor Nappi has a passion for Literature and instruction that makes this class the right one for any student.
Great class. Really challanges you, but in a fun way. If you like to write this will be a perfect class, if not; he'll help you through it with a LOT of different options. Awesome teacher!
Nappi has been the best teacher i've had. I thought his lectures were top notch. (Interesting and Informative). used You tube and other online sources to illustrate his lectures. He challenges the student and encourages you to be an "active learner" TAKE THIS CLASS he tries to scare you a bit, but he's not that hard. DONT FALL BEHIND ON THE PAPER
Nappi is THE best professor I've had at spc. Incredibly engaging with all discussions in class. Makes you think and "dig deeper". Don't take it if you want an easy A, though. You will have to earn it by your writing. I enjoyed every moment in this class from the poetry to the literature. Excellent choice of stories too. Brilliant teacher.
He is a great teacher to take, he keep the class engaged in his teaching. great humor he really gets the student involved with learning would recommend him for anyone taking comp or a writing class- and hes not to bad on the eye lol
BEST. TEACHER. EVER. Seriously, take Mr. Nappi. This man is a genius: a lucid, emphatic speaker and a brilliant thinker; he expects the best and will challenge you to meet your full potential. I *loved* this man and would so marry his face in a heartbeat. With that being said, this was without a doubt the best class I've ever taken.
He is a very good teacher. He does a great job explaining things. I believe by taking him its made a bettert write. I would not recommend this class if your looking for an easy A because his class is not like that. He gives a decent amount of work. There is a midterm and final that are extremely hard.
Really great teacher. Class may be hard to some.
Mr Nappi Rocked, I tried to take him again for Comp 2, and could not get in... starts off hard, but worth it in the end !!!!!
awesome teacher with an amazing class extrmely helpful and made the class very fun
Very Good Professor makes writing and literature fun, interesting lectures. Do not take him if your looking for an easy A. When he grades papers he finds EVERY SINGLE ERROR w/o fail. Worthwhile though because he will make you a better writer.
Awesome professor. Take him. He has such a creative approach to teaching, which makes his class very interesting. He does require his students to work hard in order to earn an A, but it's well worth it the extra effort.
Mr. Nappi is a great teacher. He really loves the subject, and cares about his students. He makes you think outside the box, while still having fun. He is a modern teacher, and uses the internet alot. If you do you work, and read the stories, you will do fine. He is very unique. PLUS he is hot.
COMP I- Nappi is possibly the best teacher I've had in my life. He has such a creative way of teaching. His methods are so helpful and I've become a much better writer because of him. He's very sarcastic and funny, similar to Jim from The Office. Anyways, definitely try to take his class. I'm know I'm going to take him again for Comp II!
He is a great teacher. I had him for Comp 1 and he made everything easier for me to understand. I have always had a problem with English and he makes class fun and he connects the literature to everyday things that everyone does. He is a GREAT teacher, and if you have the chance to have him for a prof, TAKE THE CHANCE! You will not be disappointed!
Indisputably, the best english teacher you can imagine. He has an amazing personality and a very modern teaching style. However, he is a very strict grader, finds every mistake and accepts no late work whatsoever. Take him, if you want to learn something. If you are just looking for an easy A... DON'T! It is not going to happen...
GREAT! EVERYTHING THAT WAS TAUGHT WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I AM GOING TO TAKE EVERY ENGLISH CLASS WITH HIM.
ANYTHONY NAPPI IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!! I absolutely love his teaching style! I have taken him for both COMP I and COMP II! I do not regret it at all. If you are looking to actually learn something, he is the person to take! If ur looking for an easy A? Not going to happen. He makes you work for it! Not to mention, he find every grammar error.
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had! You will definitely work for your grade, but he makes it so you enjoy what you're doing. I would recommend him to anyone!
The only reason I got a C in his class is because I always forgot about the assignments due on sunday nights and because on the group project, one person in our group slacked and finished the day it was due... I use to hate writing but now I like it.He taught me how to perfect my writing skills and now I feel like I can conquer any college paper :]
Nappi is one of the best teachers I have ever had! Although he is a tough grader, he really cares and wants his students to succeed. I'm taking Comp II with him in Fall!
Mr. Nappi is the only teacher at SPC that made me feel like I was in a real college class. His passion for his subject makes the class interesting, and this guy is so funny that there's never a dull moment in his class. If you really want to improve your writing skills, and you don't mind doing a little (well, a lot) of extra work, this is your guy
Mr. Nappi is efficient with learning methods, provides prompt feedback, and is fair in grading. You must be prepared to do lots of work as it can be an overload. However, exam essay is quite simple and multiple choice will be based on all the info learned throughout the course.
So nice and helpful! Lots of fun and willing to help.
Mr. Nappi IS NOT ONLY A TEACHER, BUT ALSO A MENTOR to me and other students. Many, may find him hard; because, he does not give away grades like other teachers. If you learn and progress, he will give you what you deserve. He is REALISTIC, HILARIOUS!, ATTENTIVE AND PASSIONATE WITH HELPING OTHERS SUCCEED. IF YOU WANT TRUE EDUCATION.
He keeps things interesting and I really have learned to become a better writer in his class. He gives you chances to fix your mistakes and is always helpful. I will be taking him again for Comp II :)
he is very helpful
Such a great teacher! Makes everything so much fun, and genuinely takes an interest in all of his students, not just the proverbial teacher's pet. He is always willing to help the class one way or another. I am definitely taking him for comp 2 also.
Great teacher, extremely helpful. took him his first semester at SPC loved it
Mr. Nappi is by far the best Professor I have ever had. He is 100% dedicated to his craft, and takes great pride in his students success. I had him for Basic Writing 2, through Comp 2. His classes are tough, but if you put forth the necessary effort you will come out a better writer. He personally helped me grow as a student, and a person.
great teacher, best english teacher i had so far. classes are very interesting, and he is very helpful. he grades very hard, definitely not an easy A, but you will learn a lot.
Wow. Amazing!!I really was not looking forward to repeating english again after not passing it so many times, but he actuallly taught me HOW to edit my own papers, instead of just telling me, "this is wrong, fix it." He WILL make you a better writer!!
LOVE HIM! Mr. Nappi is an amazing teacher! He should win a teaching award. Nappi, makes English fun, and leads you into a better writer. He challenges you but in a good way. You wont regret taking him! After the semester is over you will be back on here recommending him to more people.
Mr. Nappi is the coolest professor you will ever encounter. He takes the time to talk with you about your papers and is always around for help. If you are active in the class you'll get the most out of it. Your writing really does improve while you're there. He's funny, energetic, and class is always fun to attend. Take him. You won't regret it. :)
BEST TEACHER EVER. He is funny, EXTREAMLY HELPFUL, and brutally honest. He gives you until the end of the semester to complete all quizes test and exams. He gives you EVERYTHING you need to pass the final exam. Grades papers HARD but its worth it. He loves using Youtube to teach lessons which is always great. You WONT REGRET taking his class!!
AMAZING. If you have the opportunity to take a class with Nappi, DO IT. He cares about his students, and wants us to succeed!
very funny guy. breaks everything down. the only way you can fail is if you never show up.
Mr. Nappi is AMAZING! He takes time to work with you on your paper and help you in any way he can. Engaging and funny, I could never fall asleep in his class! If you want an easy A, forget it. But if you want to really learn, there is no one better! Please, drop everything and sign up! You will not regret it!
Nappi is the greatest teacher ever and I have never learned more in any other class. TAKE HIM FOR COMP 1 AND 2 HE IS AWESOME. Comp 2 starts off with a very hard paper but after that assignments are easy and he is ALWAYS willing to help. Responds to e-mails always.
Mr Nappi is a very great teacher. He does not pass out grades easily. He wants to see you work for them. You don't need the little handbook because he teaches you what is in the book. He is also one funny guy. Had me in tears from laughing so hard in his class. Take him if you want a good teacher. :)
Amazing teacher, I have always felt English is my worst subject but he helped me find a interest in it that was never there before, Taught me more then any other teacher ever has in my education career. Highly recommend him, not a Easy A but you will learn in his class, and he makes it easier to understand. Very helpful and answers every e-mail.
Professor Nappi is the best teacher I have had online in 2 years. He explains everything so clearly and answers questions very fast. He has taught me so much and I am happy I chose him. I will def choose him for more courses:)
Excellent teacher. I dread composition, however this guy can really teach, and makes it interesting. Apply yourself and you will end this course a confident writer.
Very clear & willing to help on assignments.you got to pick your own topics for essays.Most of your grade depended on those.syllabus online so if you missed class (x mandatory) you could easily work at home &just be there on due date. Creative and interesting teaching techniques. Overall enjoyed the class and would highly recommend!
I can confidently say that upon entering this class I was actually really excited because I had heard he was a really good teacher. This class is literally the worst class I've ever taken, and he makes it worse. What he teaches has nothing to do with World Literature, but is taught like a comp class. Stay away, may be better in other classestho
Mr. Nappi is the best teacher hands down. He grades tough but if you pay attention you can learn a lot. If you have any questions or confused about anything he will always try his best to help. He's smart, funny and a caring teacher... Best 8 am class I have taken.
good instructor
He is a very hard teacher really don't have a way to let you know what he is talking about.Don't use the book you watch or learn from his notes online Stay away if you can
Professor Nappi is a good professor and he is incredibly passionate about what he teaches. The only thing I didn't really appreciate about his class is how often he spoke about things that had nothing to do with the course. I was sometimes caught off guard by his crude statements or comments. Other than that, he is a pretty entertaining professor.
take points off for grammar, citation,is rude on emails, very confusing with his subject.
Professor Nappi is passionate and outspoken. He can be quite frank, which might offend some people, but I loved his class! However, this is NOT an easy class. You WILL have to work for it, but if you put in the effort, I guarantee you will learn SO much. He is funny, interesting to listen to, and he goes out of his way to ask if you need help.
Professor is a really nice guy. Even with his teaching style, it is still easy to get a B or better.
Professor Nappi is extremely passionate about his job and is open to new ideas, he loves participation from the class and respects each individual. Not a easy class to get a A in but he will make sure to give you every possibility to pass. I have taken him multiply times and would again if ever offered.
Nappi is one of the most inspirational teachers I have ever met. For any of his classes, you don't have to be the best writer(like myself) but if you at least try or come to him for help hes is always there. Hes always up for class discussions and keeps it interesting. Hes a realist and if you get offended easily dont take him. Hes a great teacher!
He is the man
Nappi was a really great professor. He thoroughly explains each assignment and gives great lectures. Composition is one of my least favourite subjects and he made it very interesting for me. He also has a great sense of humour. He keeps the class very lively. I would take him again for another subject..
Mr. Nappi is a very good instructor,if I could I would take him again.
Professor Nappi is passionate about teaching and it is evident from the moment you enter the classroom. He has a great sense of humor and makes the class really fun. Although he doesn't require perfect attendance, everyone shows up anyway because it is fun!
He's my favorite teacher I've ever had. He's really funny, and it's impossible to walk away without learning something. He's easy to talk to and flexible with deadlines. I really appreciate that he's not one of those teachers that expect the ideal student; he understands his class is not always everyone's first priority in life.
I am taking his online class this semester. This is my first semester of college (started at 40, never too old). He is very responsive to my messages. He is very clear in his direction. I would definitely choose him again as my professor. In fact, I hope he teaches Comp II online.
Great Teacher and understanding!
Amazing teacher 10/10
10/10
Excellent instructor. Very responsive to emails. I learned a lot and would take him for other courses.
I took Professor Nappi's course during the 8 week summer semester. He is a pretty tough grader on essays, but there are plenty of other small assignments that you can get 100% on with basically no effort. If you apply yourself you can get an A.
AWESOME! Such a great teacher, he works with you well and everything he teaches is understandable.
Great professor!
Absolutely loved his class!! He understands you have a life outside of his class, and really cares about his students. He is hilarious and even though attendance isn't mandatory his class is so enjoyable. I looked forward to his class every week and there were very few papers that. I loved his class so much that im taking comp 2 with him.
Has one deadline for all the work in a single unit. Students turn in papers the last day making it difficult to peer reviews. It is not outlined in the syllabus that his course shuts down 2 week before the end of the semester and no work will be accepted after that time. Slow to respond to email and when he does he is rude & condescending.
He was a great teacher. Great feedback on assignments, and the assignments themselves were easy. An easy A as long as you make an effort. He always accepted late material and was gracious with his grading (no late penalties!). Overall wonderful to work with, and easy.
Great teacher and overall great guy. Work isn't too tough but if you show up for class and participate it's pretty easy to get a A!
Professor Nappi is a born teacher - he has a great sense of humor and is always willing to work with students one-on-one. Expect to work for your grade, but if you put in the time and effort you will succeed. He's clear on expectations and will challenge you to be creative, unique, and accurate. I would recommend him to anyone willing to work hard.
His passion for the literary arts shows in his teaching style. He will make you work for the grade as he respects his work, but has more to offer then a typical professor given his passion. He is one of the few professors I remember distinctly from 140+ credits at SPC.
He is an amazing professor. He's willing to work one on one with his students and accepts late work. His passion for literature is inspiring and his humour makes that class fun to go to
I took his on-line class. You have four modules to complete, each module has four sub-categories. Each module you have almost a month to complete. Also, you will take ten grammar quiz's. I would highly recommend this teacher, if you want to work ahead. You can re-submit essay's. He wants his students to be successful. Make your own Due DATES.
I failed English Comp twice before taking it with him. He gives you until the last day of class to turn in all work. No penalties for being late. Grades essays easy, and gives good feedback on how you could improve. Lets you resubmit an essay after reading his advice.
Super great teacher! Took him for comp 1 over summer and its an easy A. If you need any help or any questions he really makes sure to give clear instructions defiantly would recommend
Professor Nappi was my favorite one this semester. He incorporated the material into applicable assignments like cover letters for job application and other things that you can use in real life and it was so enjoyable. He also allowed as many re submissions of all the assignments up until finals week. No tests, so funny & helpful, learned a ton!
10/10 teacher wish all my teachers was like him
Professor Nappi was amazing! Such a good teacher and when you email him he responds back within an hour even on weekends.
Hes awesome, understanding, just show up listen and do your work! You will be able to pass!
Professor Nappi is an excellent teacher. He is very helpful and laid back and will give you the opportunity to resubmit an assignment if you show him that you really care about your grade. In this class, you make your own due dates apart from the Module/Unit due dates. He is a very caring teacher.
Nice professor, go to class & you will do fine
Great professor. Received good feedback on all my essays. Would take his class again.
Professor Nappi was the best! No text book was required. I took him for ENC 1101 online over the summer and it was such as great class. Work load was not bad and he gave ample amount of time to complete assignments and he even lets you resubmit your papers. I finished the course a good 3 weeks before the semester was over. Take him if you can!
It's been some time since I was in his class but I still remember how I was treated. I worked ahead of the class for personal reasons and he threatened to drop me for working ahead. When I withdrew from the class I did not receive a WF but an F on my transcript. Retook the class with Jen Haber and had no issues working ahead.
Professor Nappi is truly one of a kind. I had some life emergencies in the middle of the semester and he understood. Not an EASY A but definitely not terrifyingly hard. Do the work, put the effort in and it will payoff. I wish he taught some of my other courses.... Take him, you won't regret it.
Mr. Nappi is an amazing teacher. Classwork is very easy if you take the feedback and work on the assignment. You can't fail the class unless you do not care. You come in the first week of class and then you will no longer be required to come. After the classmates and a few discussions, there is a final that you can do throughout the semester 4 an A
He gives great feedback and is accommodating to work schedules .
My favorite thing about his class is that you can redo your paper if you don't like the grade you made! Also, the final exam was online ready to take the entire semester, so you could go in and answer questions as you read different things we were working on all semester long. Great class!
Professor Nappi is an excellent COMP 1 teacher. He explains what is expected in each paper thoroughly and enjoys helping the student brainstorm for topics, verbs, etc. Pro. Nappi gives clear grading criteria and even lets the student go and revise their paper with his feedback after submitting it to get a better grade. Highly recommended!
He is very understanding, easy to reach, responds quickly, and really wants his students to succeed. I took his composition 1 class and was surprised at how well-organized the material was. In my experience, I only had to work on the course for half an hour to one hour per day. I would recommend this professor to anyone!
1st day of class he asked the class "what are we? Adults. So leave that kid/snowflake crap somewhere else." I was shocked. Best teacher I've ever had. He is very humble when it comes to asking questions about perfecting your essay's and understanding the grasp of the class and what is expected. The essay's made you think and it was fun to write.
Best comp teacher out there! He genuinely cares about his students and gives amazing feedback on assignments. He is very funny and has great lectures (also- attendance is not needed for this class). Over all an awesome professor. Easy assignments. No big tests. If I had one iffy thing to say about him, he can be a tough grader sometimes.
He helped me tremendously. I will be taking him again if I need in the near future. I highly recommend this professor. Essays are not bad at all!!!
So awesome! I took his Eng Comp online class and he was avail at 9pm via text when I was freaking out about a paper! He grades fairly, and the assignments are explained step by step. He let's you update any papers you feel need improving after grading. I'll be taking him for every Eng class I can!
Every paper you turn in he gives you feedback on it, and you get to turn it in after you revised it after his feedback and get a higher grade. If you don't pass this class, you didn't even try. Great subject matter and prof, highly recommend.
Super nice guy. A few essays but easy topics to write them on.
Awesome prof, definitely will take again if possible. Fair grader and gives good feedback. Easy A honestly, had such a great experience I had my bf sign up for him too and hes loving the class as well. Took him online. Definitely recommend
Honestly such a great guy. If youre looking for an easy comp class where you can learn a lot from it then youre at the right place. A good amount of essays but he makes the material very easy to understand.
Prof. Nappi is by far the best professor I have and probably will ever have in my college career. He is a fair grader. You get what you earn, however you can always go back and fix or revise any material you didn't do well on. ENC-2 was amazing. We had 1 essay at the start of the semester then the rest was focused on professionalism for job seeking
I'm super bad at time management but professor Nappi helped me work with it! He gave me excellent feedback on my papers and he seems super nice. 10/10 would take him again!
Very good professor, easy grader but provides feedback and allows for corrections on essays
I learned a lot from this class about writing. Every assignment is clear and he gives you opportunity to fix things and resubmit. Very organized.
Professor Nappi was one of the most inspiring, caring & clear teachers I have ever had. Yes, there is writing but a fair amount for an English class. The lessons were well planned & made for you to succeed. Sometimes the kind feedback on my work literally made me cry it was so pure & kind. Chance to make up work you didn't do well on. LOVED IT!
Prof. Nappi is the BEST comp teacher you can take! I was so scared to take comp bc I dont like writing essays but I Aced this class and I genuinely LOVED IT! I took it over summer and it was super easy. 3 major essays (600 words) and a remix module, which he cancelled. He lets you make revisions to get a better grade too!! Caring and helpful.
I took the honours course, and I was very surprised by how easy his class was. There are only 4 papers per semester, and they are all relatively easy. Each paper took me 1-2 hours max. He's a fair grader, but tells you where you went wrong and allows you to revise your paper for a better grade.
Professor Nappi is such a great teacher. If you listen to the feedback he gives you, you will not fail the class. Attendance is only mandatory for the first week but you will end up wanting to go to the class each session. Nappi is by far the best teacher Ive ever had and I learned not only how to improve my writing but also good life lessons.
AWESOME TEACHER!!!
Mr. Nappi has easy lessons, with many forms of material to learn from. He makes you submit papers to a tutor to find mistakes and gives you a chance to perfect your paper before handing it in. He also shows you the mistakes on your paper after you hand it in, lets you fix it and turn it back in as long as you highlight. Wonderful teacher!
He's one of the best teachers I've had. Understands that we have things going on in life. Doesn't assign too much work. There is only 1 real essay but it's not hard. There is about 3 assignments every 2 weeks. He lets you turn things in a few days late if needed and doesn't take off points and gives you feedback and lets you redo them/add things.
There are smaller assignments, 3 papers, and a project. I did my project in PowerPoint. You can be creative with this and use YouTube, PowToons, or create a brochure or pamphlet. Each paper uses a different format. The last project is in the format of your choice. He breaks the steps of the assignment down to make it easy to understand.
He gives you the chance to rewrite your paper for a better grade throughout the semester. Do the work and you will get an A he pretty clear on what he expects
I took professor Nappi spring 2021. There were 5 major essays: one actual essay then a professional email, professional resume, cover letter and a customer review. He lets you resubmit your assignments to get a better grade on them. Very easy comp 2 class for someone who is not to big on writing essays.
He cares if you pass. Do the work and at least try. He will give you the tools needed to pass the class. Heavy on the necessary life skills and not so much filler. Building professional skills.
This class was amazing. Professor Nappi taught us a lot about essay structure and digging deeper into our thoughts. Easy to follow. I knew what to expect each week. He gives feedback that helps you to grow as a student. Definitely amusing during lectures. Professor Nappi gives you many chances to revise your work in order to improve your grade.
Wants you to pass and goes above and beyond to help you do so. Great professor.
Professor Nappi is excellent. Clear assignments and so organized. I took this course in the summer term, just three essays and one presentation using a technological tool (Video, PowerPoint, powtoon). He gives you feedback on every paper, and you can fix it and resend it to him to get a higher grade.
He is the best!!!!!
Hands down, the best professor for English composition at SPC! He only wants the best for his students. Gives unlimited chances to revise all your work and does not give a lot of assignments! For his ENC1101 class (fall term), he provides three essays to write and one project that is considered the 'final' for the course, very easy!
Awesome Teacher! Truly cares about all his students and he makes sure ALL of his student succeed. Very easy class. Three major essays and one final project but he lets you submit over again if you did not do so well. He also does Comp 2, definitely taking him again.
Moderately easy class, but he is a picky grader and is very specific on what he wants. But he gives unlimited submissions and helps you get it right. His test is a collaborative one but harder than you might think.
I am so happy I took Professor Nappi's class for Comp. class. He is a great teacher but sad that he doesn't have online or live online class for comp 2. I learned a lot from this professor and would always recommend him.
There's an essay every week, but it's easy and doesn't require much work. You will have to do research for these essays, but not a lot. Lectures are not important whatsoever. He barely talks about the assignments and focuses on other unnecessary topics. It's an easy class and doesn't require too much work. No final exam, just a short project.
He is very caring, you can text and call him for any questions. I got very frustrated with one homework, he spent more than an hour on the phone and walk me through how to write the paper. He also allow student to submit the homework as many times as you like before the deadline. I have one homework I submitted 9 times from C to an A. He is good!
AWESOME TEACHER EVER! Cares about all of his students and wants each and everyone to pass. Would take him again. EASY A
Mr. Nappi has literally been my favorite professor that I have ever taken, here's why. You can re-upload any assignment that you submit throughout the semester until you have reached full credit or close to it. He gave great advice on life and school and even though I took him for Composition 2, we never wrote a single essay.
So great! I looked forward to his class every week.
Best professor I have ever had so far! So so caring, his classes are related to literature and poetry but he associates it with life in the best way. Best feedback you will ever get, answers super super quick and allows resubmissions.
I loved taking Professor Nappi's class. It was way more fun than I expected and opened my eyes to a lot of different views that I may not have had before. His feedback was wonderful and taught me a lot. He gets in depth and is a great motivator. His instructions are clear and straightforward and I genuinely enjoyed his class!
I recommend taking Professor Nappi if you are not confident in your writing ability. There is a moderate amount of workload but plenty of time to turn them in. Gives great feedback and allows you to resubmit your work for full credit. I took this over the summer and did not have any tests or quizzes just the writing assignments and discussions.
Highly recommend this professor. I took this online and it was manageable. He is very fair with grading and his feedback is both positive and useful. Prof Nappi is also more than generous allowing you to resubmit assignments for a better grade. If you follow his examples and make corrections based on feedback, an A should be more than achievable.
This class is EASY with this professor. Even though I've always hated English, he somehow keeps the class entertaining in a world literature course. No long papers, just interesting class discussion. Posts everything online so attendance isn't mandatory but the class wont be as interesting. Definitely would take again.
Highly recommend Mr. Nappi! Provides very detailed feedback which allows you to achieve a higher score on all of your assignments, which he allows you to submit multiple times, and he is extremely responsive to messages. I would 100% take another course offered by Mr. Nappi!
He genuinely cares about your grade. None of his work is overwhelming, and he explains thoroughly and is always there to answer questions. If you don't get the best grade the first time he allows you to resubmit for a higher grade. Very patient guy.
Anthony Nappi is one of the best professors at SPC. He is so caring and truly wants to see his students succeed. He was a joy to work with and he gives you so much grace so you can truly learn from your mistakes and enhance your writing skills. A must-take for communication!
I got nothing wrong to say regarding Professor Nappi. He was very helpful and patient. I learned a lot taking his class.
Professor Nappi was one of the best professors I have ever had. He actually cares about students and wants them to succeed. There are quite a bit of assignments, but he lets you re submit them as many times as you want to get the highest grade you can, and gives clear feedback on how you can improve. His lectures are extremely entertaining as well.
Professor Nappi was one of the best english professors I've had the pleasure of taking the class of, the assignments had a clear criteria plus they were easy and fun to complete. There is one poetry unit and one short story unit that consisted of all the question on the 94 questions final. He is an amazing professor I truly recommend!!
Awesome professor! Hopefully he teaches more courses that I have to take. Professor Nappi cares, and is willing to let you fix your mistakes and actually learn from them! Highly recommend! Very glad he was the first professor in the beginning of my college ventures.
I recommend Professor Nappi to anyone looking to take Composition 1 as he is extremely accessible and funny, and your writing skills will significantly improve. The topics are fascinating, second chances are given to correct things such as essays and outlines, and his feedback is positive and aimed at ensuring you excel in his class.
I would definitely retake his class if I had the opportunity. I learned a lot in his class, not just about the assignments but also about life. I wish more professors were like him. He is funny and has a way of getting the students to want to interact in class. The class is not "extremely" difficult if you show up and pay attention. He is the best
Genuinely a class that I never had to worry about. The assignments were clear, there were examples to refer to, and there were always links to outside sources that would help. I never had an online class that I liked until I took this class.
Straight-forward & clear in grading. 3 essays total with a month in between each one, and a final project. He walks you through each step of the essay process, so it's very easy to succeed on your own. No extra nonsense assignments, Nappi makes writing so simple and teaches the skills needed to write great essays for other classes. 10/10 professor!
A very down to earth professor. None of his assignments have due dates and they are all a very easy to follow template. WAY easier than my AP Lang class I took in high school. He genuinely cares about your grade and will work with you to help you. He has a real world stance on his class and realizes, which is why theres not much workload.
Professor Nappi was amazing. I was nervous to take another English class because they tend to be very essay-heavy. His class was structured to have one assignment due a week and one discussion He is a fast grader, provides feedback, and even lets you resubmit assignments for a higher grade if you update it. I highly recommend him!
He was so amazing. I took this as my first college class, and I loved it. He was so nice, and I could always reach him with any questions. The deadlines were very reasonable, and there were only 4 major projects. Often he allows multiple chances to raise your grade. I loved his class, and I will recommend him to every person who comes to SPC.
Professor Nappi makes writing easy with clear guidance, multiple assignment chances, and responsive feedback. I found Unstuck AI super helpful for essay prep - saved a ton of time. Highly recommend this class for an engaging, stress-free learning experience.
He is a great professor; he is very outgoing and very talkative and makes the assignments very enjoyable to do. He gives examples of the essay of what he expects the essay to look like when you're turning the assignments in. For comp 1, you will be writing 3 essays and a project towards the end. Will be taking his class again for com2!!
Professor Nappi is awesome! He made this semester so enjoyable. He's super clear in his explanations and always willing to help if you're struggling. His classes are interesting and never boring, and he really cares about his students' success. If you have the chance to take his class, do it! One of the best professors I've had.
I took Comp ll with professor Nappi this past semester, he is the most caring professor I have ever had. He always provided good feedback, gave extra credit on assignments and made each and every lecture enjoyable. I would highly recommend professor Nappi :)
Best professor ever, taught me so much. His workload is so easy, and the exam at the end of the semester can be worked on together. Be sure to listen to the lectures for the final exam and do the work; it is so easy. I had no essay to write.
Great professor, I really enjoyed taking his class. He was very caring and understanding. If you ever have an issue, he's always there to help and support you. He explains everything clearly and makes complex topics easy to understand.
This course was extremely easy, especially for an 8-week. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was zero teaching involved. I had to teach myself MLA and APA, how to cite properly, and basically copied the format of the sample essays. Even tutors said they're aware he doesn't teach. Does allow for revisions after feedback.
He cares about his students and your grade. All assignments and essays are relatively simple to accomplish, and he also allows you to redo your work for a better grade. While I took him in person, it felt like an online class because his lectures were more him chatting with the class than actually teaching or talking about assignments.
