awsome, take good ntoes and ur golden . def learn alot

Great guy. Tests are open notes from the notes he gives in class. Very helpful. If you do better in one area over another, he will weigh your best grades more in giving a final grade.

Good guy, but bring a tape recorder to class because he doesn't use the book. He will test you on the littlest things that he says in class. His notes are everything.....

Awesome!

Very enthusiasm and knowledgeable about the topics.

Good guy, great teacher. Makes class fun and entertaining. Tests and quizes are open note book, but they are still a challenge. I recomend his class.

GOOD GUY, KNOWS HIS STUFF. YOUR GRADE DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH WORK YOU DO. TESTS AND QUIZZES ARE OPEN NOTEBOOK BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE REALLY GOOD NOTES TO DO WELL. MAKES CLASS VERY INTERESTING.

Great teacher, very interesting - makes you think. One of those classes where what you learn you want to tell others about....definitely take this class. - Or at the very least, this professor!

fun class...but kinda hard...quizzes you on the littlest thing..u get to use notes on quizzes..but they are pretty hard and he asks the littlest questions...so basically just copy the whole damn chapter...it will only take 3000 hours

SO HOT!!!! Seriously..so hot

dave is a good professor. he makes class very interesting and time goes by fast. his tests (midterm and final) and quizzes (almost weekly) are all open notes. the quizzes are really easy, but tests are pretty challenging. attendance is important (lots of test questions based on class material) and the reading is time consuming but a good professor.

Kinda interesting, but a little confusing. Very enthusiastic. I was interested in sociology but after his class I don't think I'm gonna take it again. Not bad at all tho!

really chill.. take him for a night class.. you go once a week and take a quiz on the chapter assigned and you can use your notes. Each week there are extra credit assignments offered as well. he also drops ur lowest 2 quiz grades...i dnt see how ne1 could POSSIBLY complain about the tests, you honestly dnt have a BRAIN if you get lwer than a B

Honestly not as bad as everyones making him out to be here. He is a tad full of himself.. constantly saying "see how I do this? Arnt I great?" You also have to take pretty extensive notes on the chapters. That being said, this class is pretty straight forward. Tests arnt bad and extra credit is offered. Class can be interesting too. Not a bad class

I think he is a really good teacher. he is really funny and willing to help you if you ask. his tests are hard and sometimes unclear but if you take really good notes especially on class demonstrations and examplesyou should be good. you must read the txtbook. i hate reading and hardly ever read for classes but in this class its a must goes by fast

really chill guy...made the class a pleasure to be in. yes, he does do a lot of participant demonstrations, but it's part of what makes the class fun. Take notes in class...you only really need the book if you miss the definitions or theories he gives in class. great teacher, awesome class!

Hilarious guy. Read the chapters assigned in the text and you'll do well. Lots of stories and in class exercises. Favorite class of the semester; made me want to minor in soc.

I loved this course. Ciliberto is very enthusiastic, entertaining, and hilarious. I would not recommend taking this class if you are not interested at all in sociology, because there is a lot of reading and studying required. But if you are into it, I highly recommend him for a soc teacher!

Really funny man with alot of funny stories that pertain to class. First day came in with fake teach and voice just to make an impresion. Really good subject, and because of him will be minoring in it. Get the book and more importantly use www.prenhall.com/macionis/ it really helps. Just go to the study guide section, and don't let him findout. AM

Awesome professor! Keeps the class interesting and is really straight forward with what will be on exams. Knows what he's talking about and uses good examples in class. Grade is made up of 4 exams, plus extra credit for participation.

Attendance is not mandatory, but you NEED to go to class because everything that is on the test is taught in depth in class. He makes this subject fun and interesting. Definitely take him.

Great Teacher! I learned a great deal! He is very inspirational. In order to do well in this class you have to put the time in and read.

I really liked this professor; he knows his material & makes sociology very interesting. I recommend you take this class, but be prepared to work. I definitely received my lowest grade in this class, however learned a great deal!

His lectures are very good and very interesting. The problem with him is his grading. His test questions are very unclear. Getting an A on papers in this class is a bit hard to do. His tests are curved which is probably the only good thing about his grading

Great man, knows what he's talking about and really cares about the students. He helped me through a tough semester last year and still asks me how I'm doing even though I'm no longer his student. Tests aren't easy but go to his office and he helps you so much. You have to go to every class to understand but they fly by because he's so interesting.

Very nice man. He wants you to understand the material. Test are worded weird, sometimes not clearly enough. Only grades 4 of the 5 test you take, so if you do well on the first 4 test you do not need to take the final. He is always will to meet with students if they need help.

Best Teacher! Very interesting and helpful!

This professor is very clear on what he expects from the beginning. In order to do well in this class you have to do the reading. My grade wasn't the best in this class but definitely my favorite! I learned alot!

He assigned a 4 page paper every other week or so but they were basically opinion based questions so it actually helps you learn the material. His office hours are very helpful and he actually knows what hes talking about. Lets you bring a cheat sheet on exams and final. You'll pass as long as you show that you're trying to.

Very passionate. Tons of writing. Impossible midterm. Copy down the book in your essay and you will get a b. Add a reallife application and you will get an a. Impossibly hard grader but hilarious guy.

I don't know why anyone would say bad things about Ciliberto. Yes you have to put a lot of work into his class but if you follow his clear expectations you should be fine. READ THE BOOK..the essay prompts and exam questions come exactly from it. If he knows you're putting effort in he'll boost your grade. I would take a class with him again.

This Prof. was the BEST!!!You work toward your desired standard of excellence. If you do poorly in this course it is "Your fault"Do the work/readings and you will do well. If you don't you should not even be in college

Ciliberto is extremely knowledgeable. Hi lectures were great. You must READ and do the work ( syllabi)If you do not do well in this course you only have yourself to blame!

Overall great guy and will not fail you if you attempt to do the work. If you do your work well and keep up with the readings you can get a B easy.

Great teacher! He knows his stuff

Very Knowledgable!

Smart and inspirational man but his GFCL class is extremely hard. I have learned a lot but it is not worth the intense work that comes with it. Nearly impossible to get an A. Good professor but try for a different GFCL. Lectures can also get a little repetitive and there are weekly group presentations.

Great Teacher! Very Smart!

Ciliberto is a very difficult professor that makes you work for your grade. He is very fair however. If you establish a good relationship with him and do all of the required work then getting a good grade is possible. He has a large ego and his teaching style and expectations can be quite annoying. Take his class if you want a challenge.

Professor Ciliberto is a good guy who truly cares about his students. With that being said, he definitely makes you earn your grade. He does help you out if he likes you as a person. Building a relationship with him is essential. Take him if you want to learn skills that will help you in your future career and life.

I took this class as a freshman here and it honestly changed the way I look at school and at life. Take this class if you want to really learn things about yourself and be inspired. I would recommend this class to anyone in a heartbeat.

I was going to switch out of this guys class because of the awful reviews on him but I am glad I didn't. If you put in the work its not bad at all. Yeah the guys a little confusing at some point but if you show you care, he will give you a good grade. Go to his office hours a lot to get a good grade. Also the class is interesting.

Requires in depth reading, lots of easy to pass presentations as long as you give him what he wants. He generally cares about you and is willing to be a resource for you. He wont sugar coat it, he will tell you exactly what he thinks. You are guaranteed at least a C as long as you do the work no matter the quality.

Ciliberto is one of my most favorite teachers/professors of all time. His lecture keeps you entertained throughout the class. His Sociology class is based on capitalism and the information he gives is insightful. He only gives short answer tests (one of which is dropped). must be specific with definitions on test so read the chapter b4 taking it.

He is a great man and a good teacher but he is also a very tough grader. He helps you whenever he can and I think this is a valuable course but if you can go for a different teacher

In class, he can be a bit of a handful. He may come off as arrogant, but believe, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS!!! It pays off so much and he will bump up your grade if you do. Get to know the man and you will succeed with no problem. Also, this is your class, you can submit quiz questions yourself or face his extremely vague quiz questions. Take him

Cool professor. GFCL class is unique in the way you get to run it yourselves.

Ciliberto does not get enough credit, he truly cares about his students and wants you to succeed! He can seem a bit crazy in class but you have to put in effort/ read to understand the material. Gives weekly quizzes but honestly as long as he sees you putting in effort he will bump your grade (bumped my B+ to an A- because I work hard)

he can definitely be a tough grader but he puts the time into helping his students. he does have very high self esteem but he wants us to try not flake out

Ciliberto structures his class in a way that guarantees you will do well in it as long as you try. He can rub people the wrong way with his hyperactive personality and lectures, but it has brought me plenty of entertainment. Phrases you'll hear a lot: "Get it?" "Cool stuff, huh?" "GRIT!" I really enjoyed this class and his sociology class.

He only gives take home quizzes. His class is based all on yourself and how to be the best person you can. As long as you read the chapters and pay attention during the lectures you will do well in the class. He always pushes you to do your best and you can use your notes on tests and quizzes so TAKE NOTES AND PAY ATTENTION. Truly is a sweet man.

Professor Ciliberto's sociology class is awesome, and I have never had a teacher who so obviously cares about what they are teaching. The way he ties capitalism and economics into his sociology class was extremely helpful and insightful. If you read the book and include the information he wants in the papers you'll get a good grade.

Professor Ciliberto's class focuses on setting students up for success in college and the future. Test questions are specifically based on readings and the quiz questions. Tests are open notes so pay attention in class, do the assigned readings, and take detailed notes! He wants his students to succeed and is always there to help.

I agree, amazing lectures Also many opportunities to do well in this course Papers, with enough time to complete Tests, notes may be used Group presentation, easy to get a good grade Lowest grade is dropped Awesome course

Super course Good overall learning experience/Real life applications Tests : May use your notes Group presentations, where you learn also from other students Prof. drops one of your lowest grades at the end Loved this course

This is a must take course Great lectures easy tests/papers the lowest earned grade gets dropped This is an easy B

Enjoyed learning in this class Must have a book and go to class everything else falls into place

Loved this class other than the Bryant IDEA for freshman there are NO other freshmen courses like this one Totally about the real working world Group work is very important

This is such a good course. Learning so much I am taking this course now. Professor allows students notes during tests, and drops lowest test score You must attend class to understand applications to real life If you do poorly in this course, you are not putting in the time

I agree that this is a GREAT course You actually learn so much and you take it with you in real life Easy to get at least a B if you are willing to go to class and use your brain

The truth about this class group collaboration, take- home quizzes, groups make the test questions, notes used for every test I re-wrote my paper by meeting an early deadline The only people who hate this class are the ones not doing any work I had 2 of them in my group

I fully agree with that last review I learned so much in this course If you are lazy or a hater do not take this course I also had one of these people in my group/ Horrible experience

The best advice I can give to other students If you want to memorize answers like in other courses, then do not take this course If you actually want to think and learn the material then this is a fantastic course Professor cares about creative learning

I learned so much in this course If you do not want to do the work do not take this course group projects are fun

You need to be mature in order to take this course. If you listen to what Professor Ciliberto is teaching and really apply yourself, the material will change your life. Take the course seriously, take the material seriously, and you will end up with skills to succeed in your relationships with people in your life.

Don't expect an easy A in this class. Instead, if you are willing to work for it, you will benefit immensely from taking this class. This was one of the best classes I have taken in my entire life & I have learned so much. There are easy (depending on your group) weekly presentations, weekly quizzes that can be tough, 2 papers, & a midterm & final.

I really enjoyed this class, you do have to do work but if you show him you care about getting your work done and you actually get it done you will receive a good grade no matter what you get on the tests and there are only three tests.

great professor. be sure to get the textbook

If you show up to class and take notes, you should have no problem in this class. Be sure to get the textbook and do the readings, that will also help you participate in class, which he loves. The exams are easy, and you just have to be prepared and he offers you to bring a notecard to every exam. Would definitely take a class with him again!

Professor Ciliberto is a very knowledgeable person. He lectures all class, and you must take notes. He goes off the textbook, don't read it just look at the chapter summaries. The tests are the only grades each one is worth 20%. There are six tests total, he drops the lowest one. Overall great teacher. Really interesting lectures. Learned a lot.

This course requires consistent effort, but if you engage with the material, you'll gain valuable insights. Utilize resources like the textbook and unstuck AI to excel. The workload is manageable with dedication.

this man has influenced me and so many of my friends it is unbelievable. You either love him or hate him. You have to understand you need to do everything EXACTLY as he said it. Pay attention, participate and put in effort and you will pass him. If you didn't read you were screwed so always read. The book is great if you actually take the time

professor ciliberto is an interesting guy but so entertaining. comes into his class always with his A game and teaches in ways you wouldn't expect but it will stick with you. Read the textbook and collaborate with you group and you will do well. understand how he wants his answers during the tests and you will get a good grade.

amazing lectures, real life applications, learned a great deal
