Everyone has to take Cornerstone, fortunately I got lucky. He is very straight forward with assignments and an easy grader. With the hard tests by Callarman, Viggiano makes it possible to get an A
Charlie is AWESOME! He turned a 4 hour summer course into a 45 minute class. Very straight forward guy. Easy assignments. Kept class VERY interesting and entertaining! He is a really nice guy!
Very good guy. Makes it possible to get a very decent grade in what would normally be a very difficult course. Very helpful, makes class interesting, good stories. I'll definately take this guy again if I get the chance.
Great class and with his new goat, he looks like brad pitt in ocean's 11.
Charlie is the best!
Charlie is hands down a class act with an extreme level of professionalism. He brings in real life situations that will protain to life after UCF. He also adds a twist of fun that all professor should have. Thanks for everything Charlie! Great classes!
Hilarious! He makes this class worthwhile, the lecture part is so repetative, but cornerstone is required. A little kooky by some standards but a great guy with great stories. A teacher who believes it is professional to curse. A great guy
Charlie was a great teacher!! I learned a lot and he does kinda look like Brad Pitt in Ocean's 11!
awesome teacher. easy B or A, depending on your group. makes a very hard class easy and fun. do not take anyone but him for cornerstone, it is worth the drive to PB or COCOA.
Talk about Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde. Don't take use to be easy but now super hard. I can't even graduate now.
Great guy, very down to earth, tests are a little hard but over all great class, good stories, makes capstone fun
Charlie is one of the coolest teachers i've had here. He makes the class very easy to get through. He will make you do things on your own as far as solving problems. Stories are great and get out early most of the time.
Easy grader... makes class pretty interesting but dont expect him to help you out or guide you in the right direction. He doesnt explain anything in class, ask people in other classes because charlie wont be telling you. He is pretty kool though and class will pass by quickly, as quickly as 3 hour
Great Professor. The class is hard in general, but Charlie makes it fun. I actually enjoyed Cornerstone, because of his stories and teaching methods. The best day of class is when he lectures about "How to buy a car", the best lecture I ever heard. I recieved an A, but I worked my butt off. Just wor
He is very subjective grader and full of himself. He will not help you at all and if you are not favorites he will treat you like dirt. He is also a tough grader and gives no feedback on anything.
Mr. Viggiano's lectures have a real-world application that makes his classes interesting where you learn alot. His tests are hard but fair and he gives lots of feedback and is very helpful.
great class!
Nice guy. He will help you if you ask. Makes things easy to understand. Take him for as many Management classes as possible.
great
He is a nice guy but the problem is... he gives the most retarded multiple choice tests which really have nothing to do with the slides or the text. If he didn't give his chair questions every1 would have failed... he screwed us on the final it was hard as hell... i would avoid. I thought this class would be great I am severely disapointed.
V IS THE MAN! He focuses more on real world principles rather than textbook material. Do go to class though because he tests on his own stories related to companies. Also, leave your cell phone off or he'll answer it in front of the entire class. Other than that, he's very down to earth with the students.
terrible
horrible teacher
i love charlie!
great teacher! make sure you come to class, because if you're a slacker, he's gonna get ya.
Very interesting class. His story's are good, and some of the movies are too. You watch alot of videos and alot less lecture, so its GREAT!! He gets to the point and lets class out early. Easy exams....
The class was easy and the teacher was great, but if you like Wal-Mart, watch out because he constantly bashes it and so do the ultra-liberal Target freaks in the class (there are a lot of them too).
Really easy class as long as you go. 1/3 of his test questions are from his stories in lecture. Definitely take him he saves the class from getting really boring.
He's so adorable!!! He's young which makes him a really cool person to listen to, his stories are funny, the class is easy, and youre out of there in like 30 minutes. Definitely take him over anyone else!
GOign to class is required. He tells stories which make up a good portion of the exam. His stories are usually entertaining. Uses powerpoint (and reads straight from it). The class is ridiculously easy. Barring any mental incapacities on your part, you should get an A.
GREAT teacher. He gives in class "stories" go to class and you'll have about 50% of the tests. Skim over chapters/pp slides and you're good to go. Funny funny guy! =)
Take this class if you have to take management and don't really care to learn anything. I heard other professors actually it seriously. I hardly ever went to class, never read the book, just looked at slides. When you do go to class, he just reads the slides, adds nothing, just reads the slides, i can do that at home. Sometime he showed movies.

He is a funny instructor, reads slides and adds a few stories to help in the exam. Tests are a little unclear...basically, memorize the slides and go to every class so you don't miss any details from his stories...cause you never know what he's going to ask.
watch out for the tests in this class. On the final 15 out of 40 questions were based on things that had absolutely nothing to do with anything we learned. I went to the classes and still made C's on the tests because of questions like "what do I say when I see someone smoking." I definitely would not take this teacher again!
funny, but he actually teaches stuff you can use with his stories instead of just from a book
he is awesome! my class was streamcast over the internet, and we could watch it whenever. 1) convenient and 2) helpful when studying. he is really funny and tells a lot of stories that he actually tests you on. he doesnt waste your time feeding you useless information. id definately take him again!
A great teacher, very entertaining! He actually applies the course material to real-life situations which makes the class more interesting! Pay attention to his stories, about 1/3 of the test will relate just to those stories. I definately recommend this teacher! Watched the lectures from home...very convenient!
The class is definitely fair with respect to the exams. You read the slides, go to/watch the lectures online, and write down the stories/company examples then you should be good to go. Only 3 exams and NO extra credit. Make sure you study for each exam or you might F it up and get a B.
Easy class
I got a B- an A is very possible- You have to listen to what he says- he uses tons of company examples that are not in the book- tests are 40% definitions from the book & 60% examples he gives in class. His personal stories make class interesting- good teacher
well he is interesting. company examples r big on his tests. just pay attention n ull b fine.
To pass this class just know everything about SouthWest Aitlines company. He loes it so much that mentions almost every lecture. PS: I guess he gets paid some kind of comission form them for commercial to UCF students. Just joking... Nice teacher!
cool teacher likes to tell stories but u need to know them, most of the test is on the stories
well the first 2 tests are so easy and youll think hes cool until you take the final and its 10 times harder than the first 2...do not study like you did for the first 2...the last one is totally different cuz he tries to screw you.
His tests are stupid and he just doesnt relate the material well. AVOID AVOID AVOID
DON'T LISTEN TO THE 1ST POST! I thought he was super easy, test are mostly on the stories, but go to class, write what he tells u too, and you'll do fine! Usually lets you out early to do your "internet assignments", which are super easy and you dont really even have to do them.
HORRIBLE
Here's the way to get an A: go to class, take notes on ALL company examples he says, do the study guides for the exams and make note cards and you'll be set!
first 2 tests easy. final is way harder and yes he tries to screw you as best he can at the end. He is just a boaring person period folks! he did have a funny **** story though. oh and yes I got an A
Got a B but learned a lot. Hey prior post dude, you spelled boring wrong.
all of class lectures placed on the website so you don't even have to go. and he tells you everything thats going to be on the test. he pretty much hands you your grade. plus he's just a cool guy. i thought he was awesome, and it doesn't get any easier than this class
He is a great professor; his tests are not hard; if you want to get an A, study the text (some scenario questions might require text reading) and make sure you know the company questions. He is NOT hard if you put an effort to study.
NICE GUY! Take him, you will be glad :) ....You DO need to go to class though b/c tests come from things he says too.
great teacher. funny!
Charlie is the sweetest teacher ever. He is so laid back and go with the flow. doesnt use up all the class time which works out well becasue most of his classes are 3 hours...you wont be upset if you take him especially for cornerstone
Awesome teacher. Very laid back and tries to help the students as much as he can. Fights for the students when he thinks the cornerstone board is being unfair. Def would take him again. Tests are only hard because he doesnt write them but grades everything else easy.
VERY VERY NICE TEACHER ! MATERIAL WASNT TOO CLARIFIED TO ME YET YOU CAN TAKE THIS CLASS WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED ! ROCK ON VIGGIANO !!! VERY NICE DUDE ! CARES ABOUT SCHOOL, STUDENTS AND HELPS OUT A LOT !
Excellent teacher! Tests are not hard, but you do have to actually study to pass. Very cool guy, tells a lot of stories that are on the test so take notes!!!!!
Needed Capstone to graduate but failed it the first time on Main campus. was worth going to cocoa to take it with Charlie!
Charlie is a nice guy, someone I would love to play poker with---BUT NOT A PARTICUALRLY GOOD INSTRUCTOR. He reads power point notes to the class, then he will occasionally tell "company example stories" that are on the tests. I got an A, but it was not a very exciting or fun class. If he works on being more insightful he could be great...
What a cutie! This class is awesome too. He has good points and helps you learn and remember them by relating the text info to real life situations. Excellent professor I would drive out to Brevad to take him again.
Very easy A. You don't really have to go to class, just watch the video online. The first two test were very easy, but the final was much harder. You need to know the companies stories or you won't pass the class. Never keeps you for the entire class period.
One of the greatest teachers I have had. You do need to attend class to listen to his "in class stories", they make up most of the tests. But he is enjoyable and he doesn't keep you any longer than he needs to in class.
I didn't like this class and i didn't buy the book... watch the lectures for the stories if you take it ASC like i did... I made my study guides of all the stories and basically everything from the powerpoints and I got an A with soem studying... Not that hard but i didn't like this class at all
If you don't care about learning take him! What a waist of money! I am a 3.95 GPA student and in this class I only learned where to buy a vacuum (if I want to return it!) and I memorized CEO's names!! I just wonder how this info will be useful in the real world and how it will help me to find a better job. Perfect teacher for elementary school
What can i say about him, his class was easy, didnt keep us the full time, and was pretty dry really. Its an easy high B or A depending on how you do on his 3 tests. Sadly i was at an 89% which he said was an A yet i got a B+????
Easy Class, great teacher. Dont go to class, just watch the video online. Whole grade is composed of 3 tests total, no assignments or papers or anything. Remember the company examples he uses because theyre on all the tests. He curves on them too. His lectures are pretty intersting and fun.
extremally easy class...dont even bother going to lecture just watch it at home...take notes on company examples and study the power points...Easy, Easy, Easy!!! this class makes me wonder why people go for a management major since you can't get a management job unless you have previous experienced and it doesn't necessary requires a degree...
take the online version and watch videos before the exams..play them at high speed because he talks too slowly..DONT BUY THE BOOK! you don't need it. PAY ATTENTION TO HIS LITTLE STORIES THEY MAKE UP ABOUT HALF OF THE EXAM WITH STUPID QUESTIONS LIKE DOES YOUR TEACHER LIKE BED BATH AND BEYOND. Gives good curves and grades fairly. Pretty boring tea
I'll tell you what, Viggiano is the man. He's a fun teacher, keeps the classes exciting and mostly, he doesn't make you suffer through boring lectures. Classes are not too long and he gives you a week to take the test in the computer lab. Keep up with the message boards, great study guides. Went to two classes all semester, pulled a C+.
Like the others said, Viggiano is THE MAN! He is so nice and I almost feel bad because his class is so easy. He loves telling stories, Bed Bath & Beyond, and SW Airlines. Story questions are on tests and make up 1/2 of the final exam. Curves tests. I would have driven to Cocoa from main to take him for Capstone, but he didnt teach my last semester
he is AWSOME!!! he loves students and does everything to make sure you do well, dont buy the book just print out the slides and go over those for the exams half the exams are stories he tells anyway and he is soo funny. if he doesnt tell you his smoking story ask. carpool to cocoa if you have to he is worth it
He is the best professor I have had. Take him!
He is the BEST professor and a great guy.
As far as I'm concerned Viggiano is the only professor to take the cornerstone lab with. If you don't take it with him then you are a fool. He's understanding, the class isn't stressful, and he's on the students side.
I drove to cocoa every monday just to take his class.I was a bit dissapointed that I had to do a presentation, interview 3 managers,& write a 10 page paper.If u study his slides (3-4 hrs) & attend the review, u'll get at least an 80 on d tests.I'm not a fan of some of his speeches, but overall hes a decent guy.Id say the drive to cocoa was worth it
He was the best teacher I have had at UCF. I took him for Cornerstone and Management if available I will take him for Capstone also!
this is the best professor at ucf. take him whenever you can.
He tells a lot of stories(which he tests u on to make sure you come to class). He does not do the teaching, he has a different group of students teach each chapter from the book and he will add at the end. I thought that was pretty good idea. The presentation of the chapter is apart of your grade. He is very laid back, nice guy!
Really really really COOL guy. To the point. No joke will not trick you. Great professor.
Great guy. He tells you like it is. Take him!
Great class. Definitely recommend.
Great Professor. I loved his class. Fair grader and interesting stories.
Took him for Cornerstone. Best professor at UCF.
what can I say!!! you wanna get perfect take this professor, he is awesome! no stress and he tells you exactly what he wants you dont even feel the class!!! Dr. Ford is the bad part of this his tests damn hard no sense. WANT PERFECT ON THE PROJECT TAKE HIM!!!
Viggiano is a cool guy that relates to students well since he is one himself. He's notoriously the best Cstone prof. so make sure to get in his class. Easy as long as you do the assignments which are all group oriented and mostly busy work. Will need to do a little public speaking, and unfortunately you still have to deal with Ford's lectures.
Not a bad guy, i think the Capstone department had him make some changes so the class did not go as i had visioned. Also i graduate in 4 days and i have no idea what my overall grade is for Capstone; everyone else i talked to had there grade a week ago!
He makes Capstone fun! Applies the material from the book with great examples and keeps you interested during class. He also leads good debates in class. He should definitely be the overall instructor for the class. You have to try to fail this class-if you wanna graduate, take him!
After the first few weeks feeling out Charlie and understanding that the itinerary isn't set in stone, I was much for comfortable in the lab. I do not like the choice of projects. As everyone has mentioned though, he is a good instructor and you will do well in the lab if you show up and turn in your assignments.
Viggiano is THE best lab instructor for Cornerstone, and an all around nice guy. Sometimes he's not as clear as he could be about what's expected of you, but sometimes it's because of things over his head. After the first few weeks you'll understand what you need to do. He won't waste your time. Take him!
Good professor. My main complaints are: the book listed on the UCF bookstore website for this exact class was 4th edition and the class required the 5th edition. This should always be updated so students will not waste their money on a book they do not need. Sometimes a little slow in responding to questions. good professor other than that.
His laid-back style is NOT for everyone. If you prefer clarity and structure, Charlie isn't your guy. I found him frustrating. But he is really fair. The key is to get a good group; mine sucked so I only got a B+. This lab is A TON of work - try not to take other hard/time consuming classes with this one if you can help it.
He is very laid back and acts like he will grade everything pretty easily, but he is unclear with some assignments and as a result it was easy to lose some points. He's a nice guy, but I wasn't a fan of his organization of the class and how he graded.
This was a required class for my degree but Viggiano was super easy to please and very helpful when it came to helping boost grades. He would look for where he could give extra points and you didnt even have to ask for them. Great professor, great class (easy).
Charlie is a great guy. His class is not difficult at all. If you do some reading,study the powerpoints, and go to class, an A is very attainable. The biggest difference between an A and a B is whether or not you attend class.
He has good intentions and overall nice guy, unfortunately that does not mean it will be easy or that you will know what is on the test , my first c in test at ucf.
Yes, Charlie is a great guy! But when it comes to being organized and preparing for tests...don't count on it! He doesn't provide study guides or an idea of what will be on the exam(5 Chapters/exam. Guy next to me just stayed home & taught himself by reading book, studying slides and passed with an A. Take if you want to learn about his life!
Super nice guy, but class is a total waste of time. You would think for all the nonsense we talk about in class, the tests would be easy, but that is not the case. The tests are very difficult and you will not know the material unless you read every page of every chapter.
I took this professor last year,and decided to take him again. Bad decision! He doesn't teach the same as he used to. Class was a waste of time, listening to the same old personal life stories. He references his OB class too much. I didnt learn HR. Test were very difficult. Take Blencke intstead. I was dissapointed, expect a B or C.
Charlie is a nice and funny guy, but it is true what everyone else is saying.. Class time is talk time and we barely go over the exam, so the book would be your next best thing. To make it up, he lets the students help him with some test questions. Unless you come to class, you won't know about them. The group project is easy.
Dissapointed I wasted time in such a valuable class. Other professors are better options.
Awesome, nice guy. I'm shocked how many people are complaining. What, do you want it to be really hard and unpleasant in class?! Do the work, pay attention, come to class; it is fulfilling and you learn. Made my last class of my degree much less stressful. He even helped me out when I needed it, overly fair and really cares about his students.
He is a nice guy, and willing to help unfortunately class time is composed of learning about his personal experiences and some class debates which unfortunately are irrelevant to the test. Yes I got an A and went 4 times to class, you teach yourself and you'll be ok.
Awesome Professor! He has to be one of the most straight forward professors at UCF. He does not try to trick you on Exams and fair on grading papers. Exams are a 50/50 mix of essay and multiple choice. If you do not attend every class you will probably have difficulty answering some of the essay questions.
charlie is the man! if i need to take i class, he is my first choice
Charlie is the man! great teacher, great attitude, always willing to help. A teacher that understand the college student struggle. If charlie is an option for a class i make sure to sign up for his class asap
As always pick a good group. This is all about volunteering with a local charity. 2 Papers, 2 short oral progress reports about 2 min long and one final group oral presentation. Do the work and you will pass. He is easy going and very helpful. Great class overall. I am taking his class next semester.
Talks in super low voice, speaks to the whole class as if he were talking to one person. Group work almost every week, a lot of it is papers to write. Study for final and you will do fine.
He is a little bland in his personality but he is a very understanding professor. He knows that all the students are working hard. His grading is a bit tough, you have to produce good content in order to get a high grade.
Charlie is such a GREAT professor! He is caring and respectful to his students. He was helpful and accommodating. Attendance is mandatory but he makes the class fun and interesting. Would take again!
He cares about his students and their academics. He wants them to succeed. There is participation every week in class so make sure you pick a good group. If you put in the effort, you will pass his course.
Seriously a great professor. Cares a lot about students and goes out of his way to help them succeed.
Take him! So far Professor Charles is one of the best professors that I've ever had. For the people who are struggling with public speaking no worries about it, he will encourage you to keep improving by giving you great feedback. You will learn a lot from him and the class is so fun. Pick a great team and you will rock it. He's a leader.
Love this guy, he's a great teacher and you can tell he's a kind man. He wants everyone to pass but more importantly, he wants everyone to learn and gain value from the topics studied in class. If you have the chance to take him for Integrated Business Technologies, take him!
This Professor makes this class really clear and easy to follow. Presentation and short quiz every week. For presentations, with a length of 5 mins top, he will offer a variety of topics to choose from. One Individual final presentation. Prof is responsive to emails and concerns. I will def take him again.
Viggiano didn't seem to care about his students. He always gave off the feeling that he didn't want to be on the zoom. He was also a tough grader. Seems like Leo is the better option for GEB4513.
