Mr.venditto is not really a good teacher, I think he knows his stuff but does not know how to explain it. Classes are repetitve, and his essay topics are not good at ALL!!!!!
I think his class was great. He was very helpful and made class enjoyable rather then boring.
I didnt like his class at all. He didnt know what he was doing or how to teach. dropped the fisrt 3 weeks

great person, great teacher, i wish i could take him for all my english classes, my writing improved and he helped my TERRIBLE grammer.
I think Mr. Venditto is a really nice teacher, and I would recommend his class to other students. The material is pretty dull, but he makes the best of it. He rocks!!
Venditto is a great teacher....i missed about 8 classes this semester and he only lets you miss 4....i got maybe one C and the rest we're D, and handed in all of my papers late n he still gave me a C just because i handed in all of my work.... he's a great teacher he'll work with anyone, if you try
He's a good teacher because he knows how to explain the work clearly so the class can understand it, makes boring topics more exciting ,and will make you a much better writer.
just an all around awesome guy
The class was easy and the material seemed pointless. Easy A if you go to class and can write an essay. He is a really great guy.
this class was not challenging enough. the topics were boring. the teacher was very nice and could be a really great teacher, if he took in to account that there were older students in the class also.
great guy, pretty easy class. for a comp 110 course, it's not too bad. these courses are usually boring, but this was actually alright.
Very down to Earth
hes x-plained the course outline very clearly and hes a very kool guy ! id recommend his class ! his sarcasm rox !
Yeah!!

Fun class. Makes a dull class fun with humor and good stories. This class may not be so good for older students. Prof V. made the class that i was dreading the most last semester my fave.
Mr. Venditto is seriously one of the most overrated teachers of all time. Not that great of a teacher that everyone puts him out to be. He also picks favriots. His taste for old punk music has also distorted his views on todays world of music. I will probably take his class again next semester though.
very interesting essay topics and an easy A
Explains everything very clearly and makes class fun.
Fun, Laid Back, Interesting, cant wait to see him in comp 2
I took this class over the summer and it was a cakewalk. He's so laidback and it was great how he gave us a choice on what to write for all our essays. I wrote all mine the day of class and passed with an A. He has a lot of interesting stories, but sometimes his lectures had nothing to do with class and were a little pointless.
this person is very clear and veri intteligent. and also people love this person as a gracious person.

People friendly, helpful, & responds to emails promptly. Wants you to succeed, will do his best to see to it! Loves his job and it shows in his enthusiasm.
Mr. Venditto was a great teacher. I would of loved to take him for Comp 111 but his class filled up immeaditly, that should tell you something. If your looking for a fun interesting teacher, he is your guy.
He is a awsome teacher!! keeps class interesting, fun and short. def recommend.
This is by far the best comp teacher out there. He is down to earth,understands that we are not professionals and provides help to all. Class is very fun and to the point. No busy work. Recommend him 100%.
Dave is a great teacher, really cares about students and wants them to do well. gives 4 papers, fairly easy grader. just hand in all your papers and you'll get a C and if you put the effort in most get an A. i highly recommend Dave, no regrets here!!
Hilarious teacher, who really care about making you a better writer. Love the fact that he doesn't give pointless busy work and gives options as far as what to write about. Can't say enough good things about him.
best comp teacher i ever had took him over the summer did all my work got an A takin him this spring for comp 111
he is the best writing teacher. he really seems to like what he is teaching. he is just awesome
I took him over the summer. . . so many teachers told me how crazy I was to even consider taking Comp 2 over the summer. He is so down to earth, willing to give you any help you need. If you are willing to show interest, you will earn an A. Venditto is a fair grader. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE. Hes hott and a good teacher!
I can't say enough about how great of a teacher he is. The work is always relevant, he's funny and just an all around awesome teacher. plus, he's hot and well dressed. I recommend this teacher to everyone whose got to take comp classes.
Mr V is a great teacher. Makes Comp a fun class. He is funny as hell and really makes you want to get a A in his class. He gives you all the tools needed to succeed!!Rock on MR Venditto!!
Mr.Venditto is a great guy, you'll really learn a lot from his classes and he is very passionate about teaching his subject. I'd recommend him to anybody.
venditto is a great teacher and pretty funny. he teaches really well and makes it so you can understand essays easier. also lets you rewrite a paper to make it better
Awesome teacher very easy and is always there to help you out if oyu need it he also allows you to pick what you write about so its not boring or dull. highly recommend taking him.
He's an awesome teacher!!! Very friendly and helpful, you can easily pass as long as do the work. And if you have trouble with writing, rewrites are available. I would highly recommend this professor!
Very pretentious, expects to be treated like a god.
Can't wait till it's over!!!! He needs to get REAL, expects too much from students, but can't keep up himself.ALWAYS 2 weeks behind on grading papers.So overrated!
Good, but tooooooo tough on grading.Getting an A is close to impossible in his class.
He is pretty hard. You have to read the text every time, you have a grading quiz every class, sucks much! NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!!
Got an A in his class last semester. Only a few stories due every week, and expects students to come prepared. It's college, right? Met with him twice for the research paper, and got a good grade.
Venditto is a great teacher. I took him for both 110 and 111. I would recommend taking him for 110 first if you need both classes. This way you understand what he is looking for. The final research paper is 45% of the grade but he makes it easy, with re-writes and letting you pick your own topic on ANYTHING. Best Comp teacher @ Bucks
Vendittos' the man! one of the best teachers I have had.
Cool dude.I took him as an online 12 week summer class.The key to this class is answering the question asked and not getting off topic.Stay focused on your topic. They want to see if you can state a thesis and provide support.Don't reinvent the wheel with your papers and you will do fine. Laid back teacher and very helpful.
Exceptional professor. Pushes each student to the limit of their individual abilities. Would reccomend to all!
It was a sum1 class and it was fun. However, there was a lot of work to do and if you are not very good in writing, then don't take this class during summer time. Believe, it's much easier during regular semester and you won't brake your neck to get an A. During sum, there were 3 essays and a 10page research paper, which I found hard to write.
Prof Venditto is awesome.He is a literary genius and although he is not an easy grader he is definitely fair and you have plenty of opportunities to make corrections.. DONT BE LAZY! An A is very achievable. Also he's laid back and really funny. I took SUM1 it was really hard due to lack of time but regular semester shouldnt be an issue. TAKE HIM!!
Excellent prof. Down to earth and willing to help all. I was a very good writer going in and he really pushed me. Not an easy A by any stretch, but gives them if you earn it. One of the best of the best.
Professor Venditto is truly a top notch professor. He took our summer class and somehow made it fun and engaging despite the limited time. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great teacher if you're willing to work for your A.
He's a really great, intelligent, and personable teacher. As long as you're willing to show up and do your work, you will get along just fine with him. He's really hot too which is always nice.
Professor Venditto is an all around awesome person.Although a paper was due every class they were fairly easy and if you didn't do well you were able to rewrite the assignment and he kept the higher grade.I loved going to his class and would 100% take another one of his classes. He is by far my favorite professor.
He is a great professor! I took him for comp 107. I struggle with writing so being able to rewrite your essays as many times as you wanted was really helpful. I highly recommend Mr. Vendittto!!!
He is awesome, probably my favorite professor at Bucks yet. He is so helpful, and he makes getting a good grade in the class easy, especially on the final research paper and all of the extra credit he gives. Hes funny, understands what its like to be a college student. I highly recommend him.
If you put in the work, you will receive an A in his class. In fact, it would be hard to get anything less then an A in his class. Professor Venditto is awesome, I would take him if you want to get better at writing and inflate your GPA.
Mr Venditto is a great teacher. It's not difficult to get an A in his class if you attend and do the work. He's always extremely helpful if you do have questions or need extra help with assignments. If you do the readings, do the work, and show up, you can easily get an A. I would definitely recommend him to anybody taking COMP at Bucks.
Prof. V runs an excellent program at Bucks. The summer session of this class is intensive however perfectly doable. Prof V is very helpful, even when lacking gives extra credit and always provides chances for rewrites. Hard to get anything other than an A if you put forth the effort. Text book is a must, as he gives frequent quizzes.
I'm literally so confused right now..
Everyone says how easy his class is, but it is NOT. You have to read so much, literally for evry class, and also you have to write tons of papers. You have to read for every class bc he gives reading quizes to check that you did! Not easy at all only take this class if you you like to read.
Prior to his class, I dreaded writing essays. After 107, I quickly registered for his 110. I highly recommend Mr. Venditto as a teacher. He is funny, helpful, & really cares that his students do well. Essays may be rewritten after their due date to improve your grade. He also likes to base one of the essays on a film & you get to watch it in class!
I LOVED having Mr. Venditto as a teacher, he's very laid back. Things to note: 1. You MUST read + ATTEND CLASS 2. If you want help (including rough draft help) YOU must ASK for it 3. If you do the work, you will pass **Writing is my thing- if it's not your thing, this class may be more difficult! If it is, you will love this class.
He's an awesome guy, I would take all of his classes if could. There is a lot of reading, but it's never too much in one night. He gives a quiz at the beginning of almost all the classes, so you must read! The essays he gives are not difficult. The prompts are clear, and he always gives examples of what he's looking for to get a good grade.
Professor David Venditto is exceptionally good at giving the students the best oppurtunities to pass his class. He is very likeable, and not only gives the students ample oppurtunities for easy credit, but also to gain knowledge in literature and composition. I tells you exactly what he expects, and he is not tough. Highly recommended for comp111.
Great prof. Hysterical and makes class enjoyable. Is very specific about what he expects, non the less he is a smart guy and does not take poor writing and accept it as quality.
This is not an easy A; expect daily readings and content quizzes, and to write multiple papers. However, Mr. V allows rewrites, and bends over backwards to help struggling students. He gives funny and interesting lectures, and is an all-around nice guy. I'd highly recommend any of his classes--you'll work hard, yes, but you'll enjoy it immensely!
Prof. Venditto is the bee's knees. He is always willing to help, extremely insightful, a great writer, and extremely fair. If you are willing to learn, he will be there for you. He also has tutoring hours, so don't be afraid to ask for help. Take all of your comp and lit courses with him, work hard, and you will leave Bucks better for it.
It's entirely possible to get an A in the class (I did) but you will definitely earn it. Reading is due every class accompanied by a short quiz but the selections are interesting and relatively short. There are several essays, all available to rewrite for full credit & there are multiple opportunities for extra credit. He is a great professor.
He's a nice guy. Gives great feedback on your essays and allows you to rewrite them. If you actually do the assignments, there is no reason you shouldn't get an A in his class. Taking him next semester for COMP111.
I enjoyed Prof. Venditto class. He gives reading quizzes in the beginning of each class, but they are super easy. He assigned a total of 7 writing assignments for the semester that where spaced out well enough to be overwhelmed. He is a younger professor that you can easily relate too. You will need the book for class and attendance is important.
He is so far one of the best English professor I ever had. I took him for Comp 110 and Comp 111, and he was very helpful. I will definitely prefer him to anyone
Professor Venditto is seriously one of the best professors you could have! He is extremely helpful, most especially with the essays. He gives a lot of feedback on the essays, and lets you rewrite them. Overall, he is super chill and understanding, plus with the re-writes and MANY extra credit opportunities, it is definitely possible to get an A!
Venditto was my teacher for Comp110 and he was great! He really gives every student a chance to do better! I kick myself because I could have easily gotten an A, but I was being lazy. Overall he was a great teacher, I would highly recommend him!
TAKE THIS TEACHER. Very knowledgeable and will go out of his way to help you. He wants you to succeed. You will have homework, reading assignments, and plenty of work that you must be held accountable for, but I had a great experience.
Professor Venditto was an outstanding professor to take; he actually cared about you getting through the class and was beyond helpful when you needed him. He is a really cool guy beyond the class and it carries over to the course. The work he assigns is reasonable and as long as you stick with the flow of the class you'll be just fine.
Easy understanding teacher however VERY TOUGH GRADER. Really have to stay focused and read the stories for the quiz
Mr. Venditto is pretty laid back and will help you pass and is very understanding. I'm not someone who does to well in school, but I got an A in his class and I liked him enough to take Comp 110 with him this coming semester and to plan my schedule for the semester around this class making sure I have him again!
He's a very nice guy but he makes you read so much. He's a heavy grader and if you miss one eassy it's like the end of the world for him.
Great prof. Really goes out of his way to help people. 4 papers and 10 pages of reading per class. Not sure why people think that's a lot of reading for college. Do your work and you'll be fine!
Such a funny and laid back dude. Gave really helpful outlines for essay prompts so it was easy to organize your papers. You will have to read the assignments because he gives a lot of eading quizzes that will help boost your grade.
Way to touch of a grader Kinda helps outside of class but way to judgemental on your writing. He may give you feedback but he also loves to make you feel bad about your writing. If you love to write this guy may make you feel like your wasting your time on writing. All I got left to say is if you want to take him be my guess. But good luck!
Wants you to succeed. Would love to take again if I could.
Venditto is very persistent and clear of what it takes to pass his course. If you care, it will show. I took Comp 111, which is arguably the toughest class you'll take at Bucks. There's 4-5 papers, 8-10 small quizzes, and the final is a min. 10 pages. It seems like a lot, but Venditto helps you immensely along the way. It was a piece of cake!
excellent teacher! very helpful as long as you do your part! he will help you as long as you help yourself!
Gives a reading every night for one unit, but they're all pretty easy with a quick reading quiz the next day, about 5 questions, easy grade booster. very funny, helpful man. a few 3 page essay with one 10 page one, but he lets u re write each essay! the ten pg. one is done 3 pages at a time with teacher meetings. so easy! best english prof 10/10
venditto was a great professor and cares about how his students will succeed, you can rewrite your papers as many times as you need and hes very open to helping students with their papers, would definitely take his class again. Highly recommend
BEST English teacher at Bucks He is the definition of a good teacher. Teaches you everything you need to know. Also is funny and straight to the point. Doesnt waste any time. Took in summer for 3 hour class and time flew by because he made it interesting. Legit didnt mind driving 40 mins to his class early in the morning; thats how great he was.
This guy is more concerned with being a comedian than a professor. Very rarely gives notes or writes on the blackboard. Instead, he complains about how bad the textbook is. You're lost in his class from Day One. Avoid at all costs.
Worst Professor Ever! Would never take him again
VERY clear about what he expects. Explains each assignment many times. I did well and got along with him just fine. You can rewrite every paper as many times as you want. Theres also some reading, but the articles are really short.
For a COMP class it makes sense to have a lot of assignments, but he gives you a good time frame between. He will drop the lowest reading quiz scores you have. He cares about you and will help you get your grades up. As long as you turn in something for your essay you are allowed to redo it as much as you want. He is also a fair grader.
Best teacher I have had. Follow the class guidelines and follow the syllabus and you will do fine. A lot of reading and reading quizzes are based off what you read. Easy class to get an A if you do the work!
10/10 professor. There's 1-2 short story readings every night (& optional poems), a super easy 5 question quiz on the reading the next class & small group work for discussion questions. There are quite a few essays but he lets you rewrite them as many times until u get an A! Responds to emails promptly, & gives LOTS of good resources for papers!
hes a really good professor, is very understanding and very kind. he is really willing to work with you if you're having issues. just respect him and he will respect you. i personally am really not an English person but i enjoyed the class. he gave a lot of examples so you know exactly what not to do. as long as you put in the effort you'll do fine
With Professor Venditto its not possible to fail his class because he allows you to rewrite essays as many times until you get an A so take advantage of it and hes very caring and understanding i wish im taking him again for Comp-111
Is a fair professor.
Adequate amount of reading accompanied by a quiz the next class. (Mostly you could read 30 minutes before class and pass the quizzes) If you love to write (or even if you dont and want to challenge yourself) I highly recommend to those taking this required class to take it with Dr. V -Mayhem
Professor Venditto doesn't want to see any one fail, and he will cut you some slack if you need it. He teaches you what you need to know about writing. I started off not knowing the basics, and left his class with refined writing and research skills. As long as you do what is expected and take advantage of the re-writes, you will succeed.
Dr. Venditto is an amazing professor. It is impossible to fail his class because you can rewrite essays until you get an A. There is readings and quizzes the next day but they are easy. He wants you you succeed and become a better writer from his class. He is funny & lead back. As long as you put the effort in you will do fine.
Pretty boring class, just show up and do the work. Its mostly all at home work. You read articles and write essays on them. Really straight forward, easy A
im surprised he doesn't teach any Film Classes at bucks hes a comp teacher but it seems like hes true passion is being a film writer but hes still a great Comp teacher regardless would absolutely recommend him to anybody
By far the easiest professor out there. He doesn't care about the nitty gritty of your papers, and just cares for good content. My only mistake was taking a Friday class for 2.5h. Lets you rewrite everything and really is on your side. I was easily able to write all my papers night of + extremely little readings. Definitely taking him next semester
He is a great guy, very interesting and super laid back. He gives 3 papers and then a 10 page research paper. He gives reading quizzes just about every week. They're only around 5 questions or so and will boost your grade. He allows you to write your papers as many times as you want til you get an A. I really dislike writing, but he made it easier.
Great teacher. He gives a lot of readings but the quizzes are easy. Explains how to improve your essay very well and allows rewriting it.
A wonderful teacher. I work full time and a part time job as well and he was very understanding and kind. The work load was CRAZY like 3 discussions a week 2 quizzes and a paper be aware. You can pass if you want to. Its all up to you. He gives you all the tools you need and always answers quickly. He has my respect. I would recommend him.
Was the best teacher I had all semester. Lots of reading but if you read well enough you did well on quizzes and essays. Always allowed rewrites. Participate in class!!! He had well structured lesson plans and followed his syllabus. Overall, he had a laid back personality and was easy to communicate with.
Best professor ever. Let you rewrite essay
He is a great prof but just beware that he is very hard to reach via email so talk to him in class and he is a lazy grader typically takes him up to two weeks to grade papers
Worst professor
Best professor Ive had at Bucks! He truly wants all his students to pass. His work is minimal every class you have a reading and a discussion and quiz about the night reading (literally like two easy questions). He allows you to rewrite your essays and he will even proof read your essays for you.
He was a great teacher! He gives outlines for all of his essays and gives examples of good and bad essays. 10/10 would recommend.
D.V. was a great professor and was always helpful with essays and graded fairly easily on discussions and quizzes. He allows essay rewrites and provides thorough feedback, so you can improve your score a lot.
Took his class during the pandemic over zoom. Dr. Venditto always talked about the reading that was due and explained everything extremely clearly and thoroughly. There were group work every class but as long as you do the reading its easy yet you have to put in some thinking into your response. I would definitely recommend taking this professor!
Dr. V is a great Professor! He knows exactly what he's doing and applies it well in class. There are back to back essays but he gives you plenty of time in between essays to get it done on time and not big essays... seriously it's easy. Homework was just reading quizzes which were literally 2-3 questions on an article he has linked. 100% take him.
Venditto is a kind professor who gives you re writes for every essay. Gave one extra credit assignment too. Super easy, just write your essays some what decent and he'll tell you how to fix it. He improved my writing too and his prompts were interesting. Def take him he's the best English teacher at Bucks.
He was ok but harsh on your essays
Took his online Comp 110 class as a remote transfer student. As long as you read the syllabus and follow the instructions given, its a pretty easy class to score well. He gives you unlimited opportunities to resubmit papers based on his feedback, so if you are willing to put the work in, you can get an A.
I would take him again
rude and does not care about if you are trying really hard
dont listen to the naysayers, this guy will literally give you rewrites on essays he has graded with annotations on how to fix your work, he is more lax on his words like using profanity but honestly you have to be a child to get offended, didnt like the reading quiz but he takes off two of the worst you've done so theres that,hes a pretty cool guy
Teaches the class in a very simple way that I appreciated for a gen ed course. Great feedback on every essay. Lots of flexibility with essay topics as well by providing choices of multiple readings each week or so. Provided video explanations of essays and formatting etc. alongside written instructions which I appreciated in an online course.
He is an amazing teacher. Definitely recommend his classes. I'm hoping to get him again in the future. As long as you try you'll get a decent grade. Show up for class, attendance is important because you never really know what work will change. He made class fun and exciting. Do the readings listed because you'll need them for the reading quizzes.
I took this class during the summer session. Venditto gave feedback for every essay and allowed rewrites. The textbook was not provided, but some of the articles were depending on the edition of the book. He is a fair grader and there were only 4 small assignments per week, not including the essays.
Mr. Venditto's class was a chill and fun experience. He wasn't a tough grader, he let us rewrite our essay's if we didn't do so great the first time around. Honestly just work hard and you'll do well.
He was OK. He gave us test on every reading, told us it was just to make sure we did the reading we could give one word answers, then proceeded to mark wrong for not using enough detail which was a little misleading- He does let you re write all your papers which is awesome. The textbook he makes you buy and the readings were borderline torture.
Professor Venditto's COMP110 class was a good experience. He's a fair grader who provides helpful feedback and allows essay rewrites. Using resources like Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook can help you succeed in this manageable course.
he was unclear with what he wanted from you with his papers and quizzes. his feedback was so slanted to pretty much only tell you what you did wrong. he was an over the top, harsh grader. and we spent way too much class time critiquing other students essays that he told us were bad. he honestly gave insecure vibes with his level of criticism
Gives great, detailed feedback. He's also just a pretty chill guy. You can rewrite every paper, which is super helpful. Definitely recommend!
he explains exactly what he's looking for in each paper (6 over the course of the semester) during classes. he gives clear, detailed feedback when grading papers. he is very particular, but in a helpful way. he gives 'group quizzes' which i didn't love because i felt like i had to do all of the work for my group. other than that, no complaints.
Dr. Venditto was an amazing professor for me to have. He was able to answer any questions I had. and gave great advice any time I got lost. I would absolutely look for this professor when selecting any other writing classes.
Very easy straightforward class, attend and do all your assignments and if given the oppurtunity to revise assingment do so!! He definitely cares about his students.
One of the best professors I have had. Light on grading and allows for correction points. Great at explaining whatever topic is at hand and well coordinated. Definitely recommend.
I've taken many professors over the past 2 years here at BCCC and he is by far the best. His instructions were clear, and he gives detailed helpful feedback on assignments so you actually learn and improve. He genuinely cares about students doing well. Highly recommend!
Professor Dr. V was knowledgeable and explained writing concepts well. The assignments were clear, and feedback was always helpful. I improved a lot in my writing thanks to this class. As an ESL student, I appreciated how patient and respectful they were. Highly recommend this professor!!!
Very professional
