Prof Palermo does a great job teaching a subject that many fail to teach well. I expected his class to be boring, but it was one of the most enjoyable classes I took this year. He is very interesting and makes it clear what you have to know. His class is mostly graded on his tests, and you'll have to study for them if you want a good grade.

His online P2 class was the laziest class. The only grades are tests and discussions every week. If you dont buy the online textbook there is absolutely no way you will be able to pass the test, the answers are word for word out of the book. Only given 50 minutes for 40 questions FITB, which is not an adequate amount of time for what he expects.

Class was a complete waste of time. He does not give extra credit doesn't help you out if you are failing. All of his test were fill in the blank. Seemed pretty lazy I didn't learn anything. The book is required but the chapters are so long you will fall asleep.

Professor Palermo was the best professor I've ever had!! He was so engaging and gave interesting and hilarious lectures. He always told you exactly what you needed to know for the test which ensured your success. I wish I could take his class again, it was amazing!

Prof. Palermo is wonderful! His lectures are hilarious and he's super animated while doing them. Easiest class I ever took. Just read the assigned pages and watch the videos (actually pay attention! Don't skim/play videos in the background) and you'll have no issues. Hes pretty quick about responding to emails and his "quizzes" are... interesting.

Along with Professor Hopper, Professor Palermo run a wonderful mythology class in the summer (along with his DreamQuest class). He gives great feedback and his online lectures are so much better because they're clear, concise, and focused on the theme of the chapter. Made the online class just as engaging as the in-person class.

He is the best professor I've ever had. Took his in person class a couple years ago and signed up for his DreamQuest class. I still remember all of the stories he shared and the material has stuck with me all this time. He is incredible. We had small 5 question quizzes each week but as long as you're listening to the lectures you'll do great.

Prof. Palermo and Prof. Hopper taught this class together and I really enjoyed it! I think Professor Palermo gave more feedback throughout the semester but both profs were super awesome. I also took HUMX 1100 with Prof. Palermo and loved it! He is such an enthusiastic professor and is genuinely interested in the contents that hes teaching.

Very interesting guy but cared about his students. Had a lot to say about your work. Easy to reach. He had assignments from old movies that were related to subject. Wish they were newer movies but the assignments were super easy. Overall a good professor.

My favorite class and professor that I've ever had at Lakeland. I loved every minute of his lectures, and would take every class with him if I could. Thoughtfully responded with care & respect to any emails sent. Great guy and even better professor!

Amazing lectures. No professor at Lakeland has as great lectures as Professor Palermo. He's funny, jolly, and explains everything so you aren't confused. Textbook use is minimal. Online course is formatted great. With intense note taking, you will get A's on all tests. If you don't note take, and think you can cheat, you will fail.
