Very charismatic. Knows his stuff well. Teaches US History from a political and philosophical standpoint. An amazing professor who keeps the subject interesting. Not afraid to speak his mind. Uses the book only as a foundation for the course, not really required if you pay attention and get involved with the class. Highly recommended!

He is a great teacher. Mr. Camilli doesn't really follow that much out of the book so you need to show up to class. The tests are super easy if you review your note. He is a very politically liberal person so if you are ultra conservative you will hate him. I loved the class and had a lot of fun.

Camilli is an awesome teacher! I never liked history, but he makes it so interesting. His way of teaching is by lecturing so be sure to be in class 90% of the time. He is a HUGE Liberal and not afraid to show it, so for all you conservatives out there, dont be offended if he speaks his mind about the president. Overall a great teacher, TAKE HIM!

He's an interesting guy and the tests are easy but he speaks too much about politics.

Most of what you need to know is in the notes but the tests can stray away from the notes from time to time. Reading the book wouldn't hurt.

If you hate politics, do not take this class. But if you do it is the place to be. You can actually talk about things that affected this country in its history, and how it relates to the present. When you complete this class you will be one of the few people in america who has read the constitution and know your rights as an american.

S.C.C. needs more teachers like Dan Camilli. His brilliance and knowledge of the subjects that he teaches astounds me. He is very passionate about politics, and likes to compare the past with the present. He loves to hear the opinions of others, but if you plan to disagree with him make sure you do the reading and make valid points.

Very smart guy and Harvard educated. He is brave to teach this way in FL. Yes, he is liberal minded but I live for politics. No matter what class you take of his, you will get powerful information for the politically involved student. Information that could reshape a mind. Really makes you think and question everything. I'd vote for him.

I ADORE HIM! I had no desire to take a history course, but he made the class so much fun to go to. He informs you on exactly what to study for his exams and he truly wants every student to be the best they can be. There are a few short papers but all opinion based and not done in essay format. TAKE HIS COURSE!

Good professor, though he allows his very liberal political views to slip into his teaching, but that's ok. It's particularly a good thing, because he appreciates a good debate with a disagreeing student. Take good notes and you'll be fine.

He is a Harvard genius. BEST HISTORY TEACHER EVER! I highly highly recommend him if you want to learn in a very easy and fun way then take his class. He is very understanding and he will take time to talk to you after of before class if you have any questions, comments or concerns. Take notes and show up and you get an easy A. Absolutely worth it!

OH MY GOODNESS. best history I have ever had. He is very opinionated but that's what makes him cool. I wasn't sure about taking a history class that started from the late 1800's to present... but two weeks in I was happy with my choice. If you need this class, I suggest taking Professor Camilli. he is very helpful and makes sure you understand.

He is the best. He's very passionate in his teaching. His lectures are mostly about the political/labor issues side of history but very interesting, I learned a lot. There were 3 tests and 2 papers that came with the tests and a final exam. The textbook is helpful but it's not necessary to pass the class. I'm taking another class with him.

AWESOME Professor. He is very passionate about teaching the subject of history. Please do not miss too many classes because he gives tons of notes and if you have the notes and study you will pass his test. He hardly uses the book but the notes he gives you follows the text line by line. I would take him again and highly recommend him to anyone!

Easy easy easy. Go to class, take notes, and do the papers that go with the test and you will sail right through. Don't write everything he writes down or it will be insanely overwhelming. If you are taking him for 2020 don't expect anything past the 1930s and no wars were ever talked about. Easy class but he missed the good stuff.

Camilli is the man! He keeps the discussion involved. Attend class, take notes and study them. Hes very entertaining, but very opinionated so if you cant handle someone having a diff opinion than yourself, find another prof. If you welcome debate, opposing views, theories, and facts, then Camilli is your guy. 3 tests, 2 short essay, 1 final.

If you still need to take a history class, then really try and get into this one or another taught by Camilli. He is an interesting guy and the class is pretty easy as along as you write the simple essays for the first couple of tests and pay attention. There really is no reason not to get an A and not learn something about the US at the same time.

In all honesty, he's a bit overrated. People said he's an easy A but I got a B even with A's and B's for test grades. He can become a little bit obnoxious at times with his "know it all" attitude. As a person one on one, he's pretty cool to talk to. I would probably not take another class with him. This class felt more like politics than history.

I honestly chose this professor due to the high ranking numbers seen by other people on this site. However I do regret taking his class. I didn't miss a single day but still walked out with a final grade of a B. His class is mostly political so if you don't agree with his views, he has no problem insulting your views in front of the class.

Knowledgeable and expert on how to teach. Attend class, pay attention, and take notes. The class notes are more than enough to earn a good grade. I actually like how he links history to politics because by doing so he makes the history content much lighter and force students to think of the way the world progresses from a historical scope.

No need for textbook and his tests come right off his notes and many questions are common sense if you listen to him in class. Doesn't use Sakai, must attend class.

Professor Camilli is a great history instructor. I hated history during middle and high school, and liked it while taking it with this professor. Make sure you are there every class, and take notes and you shall do good, it isn't an easy A.

If you take notes, the tests will be very easy (there are only 2-3 of them). Not only will you learn history, but he'll open your eyes & help you form opinions about what's going on in our country.

Alright look. Camilli is honestly one of- if not the best professors on SSC campus. Like others said there's only tests and no homework, but if you come to class and take good notes you'll be absolutely fine. He lectures a lot, but he makes it interesting and the "essays" he assigns (due on test day) are super easy. If you can, take his class.
