Pretty easy grader, and makes the class intersting by talking about off-topic subjects. Research papers assigned weren't that long. I would recommend him to most students.
Awesome prof!! Makes you feel like you can do it! Very cool, he talks so animated! Writes beautifully and encourages u to do the same!! Italian Stallion!!
He is the man.
The best Prof.you could ever get!!!!
He is the best professor,the most understanding english Professor.Also, very sexy......!
Great Professor. One of the best I've ever had.
Don't take anyone else for ENG 122!!!! Interesting lectures, funny and helpful.
don't take no one else for 122 for dipasquale is the man.if you come to register and his class is full,find out about subsequent semesters and if possible wait till he's back for you'll never regret taking this legend.
A very inspirational professor.
Very laid-back and very cool.
He is the best professor i have ever seen!! very nice, friendly, cute and sexy!!
very nice professor & very helpful. One of the best professor. Take him.
he is the best professor I have ever taken , he makes you want to come to class and listen to every word. He gives you second chances on papers and he is very inspirational. Jis class is a learning experience for life!!
Only college prof. to give me less than a B in acourse. If your a guy do NOT take him. He is kinda feminist. Heavily favors girls & def. gives them better grades for inferior work. However if you are a girl Id take him. Very laid back, makes class interesting. Few papers to write, but nothing long.
brilliant insights///compassionate; an original honest...what you see is what you get...if you fear brightness and genius, do not take him
he's the best professor, in MCC for ENG
He is probably the craziest professor I have ever taken, but crazy isn't always bad.
Very self absorbed. Sadly I didnt learn anything in his class,just endless chatter about himself. I don't think he read our work, can't complain too much I did get an A for almost no work.
Really easy I missed so many classes and still got a A.

He was wild I mean i had him in 99 and he was nicer to the italian students than any other race to be honest with you..Its yeah you're italian you get an A i worked really hard in his class and ended up with a C
Terrific teacher...presently he is teaching me, off all the english teacher i had, its da bomb, keep up your work MR D....
Number 1 Best teacher out there. Kool guy, well family oriented and very understanding. Does use different&very effective teaching techniques as posed to common text and note verbage. Definetly recommend !! good grading pattern as well. lol
he's the most understanding teacher EVER!
best prof. take him if u wana pass, with a or b without goin in his class.i got an B, i was very irregular student..but dont miss his TESTS!!! he is very nice, his class are boring but u can easily pass his class. DONT BUY BOOKS! only need of 24 Kt GODL...no other books!!!
Had him this semester for two classes, English 122, and Children's Lit. I got a B in Eng 122, and a B+ in Children's Lit. All he did was just talk and that's it. Nothing is complicated whatsoever when it comes to DiPasquale!!! In other words, TAKE DIPASQUALE. He is da Man!!!!!
This guy will tell you about how he was raised up in Italy and how he used to like it there, that what his lectures are all about. Does not explain**** about homeworks and papers, and still expects you to do excellent and write perfect essays. The worst professor I ever taken, he only cares about selling his silly books and that is it!!!
He seems very confused most of the time and I think he basically doesn't care about teaching anymore. Really does nothing to help the students. Perhaps the worst teacher I have had.
so..i hate english and he made it my favorite class at MCC so far.. he never fails ANYONE.. and i quote him .. "no one will fail my class if you try.. i believe if you make it to college you at least deserve a C".. how much easier can it get?!.. TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM!
Don't be angry because you are all dumb. DiPasquale is a very good professor. He never asks for much from any of his students; I've already had him for three classes here at Middlesex and he never let me down, and he won't let u down either.
he is the best professor ... dont say ne thing to him ... he will never disapoint u ... i took two remmedial classes he is the only one who will pass u .. he knows what is the waisting of time and money meanz.. other prof i took for eng were just crap they think that we also have eng degree they just fail u ... i luv this prof take him seriously..
Best english professor! I love him! He made me laugh alot and was really nice. I put lots of effort in my papers and tests and I just about got an A on all of them. He doesn't want research papers, he wants to know about YOU! Add in life experiences and opinions in your papers and he will love you.
This was a very easy class i got an A. If i would have taken this during a regular semester it would have been a waste of my time. The work is very easy but be prepared to make speeches. I really enjoyed his lectures he should do more of it. If you are going to take him do it during summer you wont regret it.
Bad reviews reflect those who have dropped his classes or have been unappreciative.
He is the best professor in Middlesex County!!!
He is very helpful there is no way you can fail this class he grades from an A+-C-
amazing prof, easy class, no attendance, GREAT TEACHER. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
He is the best English teacher in the world I highly reccomend him. I think he is the coolest italian guy I ever seen. He talks about his daughter alot in class but that's alright, just there and listen and you will get a A. I think he's just showing his fatherly love. But I highly reccommend him for any parts of english.
Fair, smart, best teacher ever. I've taken him for both ENG 121, and 122.Totally take his classes
I love Mr. D! He always says funny things and they make sense as well. Come to class, and write what little he expects of you and you will pass!
best teacher evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .... take himmmmmmm ..... ull b amaze .... yeah dere r some teachers like him .... tooo ezzzzzz
I just had this professor, he is really good.Midterm & final so easy.He talks about his daughter & ex-wives alot.It can be really boring because non of that relates to Eng...One presentation & two speeches that all we did for the semester...Again really easy.Take him!!!
THE BEST TEACHER EVER.. i dont understand how anyone could not like this guy.. he's so sweet - he means well in everything.. and no matter what he's always there to help you.. teaching is his world besides his daughter.. he's amazing - EASY isn't even the word!! easy A def.. take him and you WONT regret it!! Prof. D is the mannnn!
Very fun and easy class. He doesn't believe in homework. Just two oral reports. And suggest a party and he will agree.
EASY A++++++++ GREAT TEACHER EVER. Love HIM! Take him you won't regret it. He loves Indian food, so if you know how to make it bring some for him. He would love you even more!
he's really funny and easy. if you're taking the class just because you have to, then take his. totally easy. i never rewrote my papers but passed. however if you really want to learn or are english major, don't take his class. about 70% of lecture he talks about things that are not related to english. overall he's good.
Wonderful Teacher. Very nice man. You will not be sorry if you take his class. You chose your road, he travels with you. If you chose to wish to be a writer, he will guide you. If you chose not to, he will accept this and ask that you simply try.
I LOVE HIM !!!!!! i dont care wht others say but i like him.I took eng 121 & 122 wid him .He is just so easy to like teacher.I got A in both classes.U can discuss ur personal probs .GREAT MAN !!! that u can trust. we actually learn in his class. Easy A. If u get B or C, just rewrite paper and he will upgrade your grade.He doesnt make eng hard 4 u.
Did I mention that he is cute and sexy??? Oh yaa baby he s HOT !!!! ;-) and...he s like a friend that u can discuss everything like I still do.:-)
BEST teacher. Took him for ENG 121 and 122. Got A's in both classes. He is truly a great guy. LOVE HIM! take him you won't regret it.
the best
Dont listen to the last person, he sees all of his students as his own kids, and hes just a sweet old italian man. I got an A even though i got mostly B's on my papers he handed back. easy A, TAKE HIM!
This professor is amazing.He makes english likeable.There is no pressure no tension.He makes you write about you.He wants to hear your voice.I always had a mental block when it came to writing but not with this professor.My writing flows.I speak what is on my mind.He really and truly is a genuine guy. He is down to earth.Take him. you won't be sorr
nice enough, but hardly teaches anything about English. hands out other students work that is mediocre as examples. the only good thing about this class was that we got out after 1 hour.. other than that it was a complete waste of time. if you enjoy eng don't take him. you'll be behind in ENG 122
his class is easy once u know how to express urself. essays r all about urself. he teaches nothing in class though. easy A only for those who can tell about themselves.
Amazing professor. Don't listen to those last comments. His class is completely stress free and he's extremely lenient with due dates, among other things. All the essays are straight forward and (believe it or not) enjoyable, in-class and take-home. He's a great guy and probably the best professor I've had at MCC by far
This is the best Professor I have ever had. He is brilliant, to say the least. The people who wrote bad comments are uptight and boring. He is extremely fair with essays and grading. I will never forget this Professor. No one should leave MCC without taking him.
excellent professor,easy going.stress free. I would recommend AAAAAA+++++++++++
he's easy as hell. all u have to do is just register for his class and bang u atleast got C.
What can I tell you, this is the best professor I've had in MCC. I wish I can have him as my teacher for my classes. I LOVE this guy. Take him!
He is definately by far the BEST english professor at Middlesex!!! He will always help you. Just do NOT be a wise guy to him. He has a BIG heart and will help anyone.
He is the best teacher you can ever ask for, he made you feel very confy to write. and he didn't believe in if you pass the class and fail the final and you fail the class that kind of BS. So take him and go to class everyday he will pass you for SURE.
DON'T TAKE HIM!!!!!!
Prof. di Pasquale does NOT give everyone Ds and Fs. Only a few students received such grades at midterm. I don't tell him what grades to give. If you got a D or an F, you richly deserved it. If you act like a student instead of a slacker, you will very probably pass the class. Stop whining. ~ Dr. Z
HE is the BEST TEACHER.
I can't believe some of the other reviews. I have him now and he does NOT give everyone D's and F's. And he is not an easy grader nor is he a hard grader. If you want an A or B YOU have to WORK for it, it's that simple. Other than that he's a great person and is concerned about his students. Too bad his classes don't fit my schedule next semester
how is he hard now cuz i took him last semester he was pretty easy going i heard he's tough now is it true please next rater reply because im taking him coming semester please reply thanks
hard working, affable, inspiring
all the good comments he is writing it dont look at those. He gives out the same grade for all three papers. For some students he dosen't even read the paper he just looks at the name and gives it a grade and Dr Z. stop giving college students wrong advise everyone knows he is not good burn in HELL pasquali.
When I took Di Pasqule's class, this was my 2nd time taking English since before I had a different prof. His class might be a little boring, but you will learn a whole lot about writing essays. Not only does he want students to be better writers, but better as a student themselves. Whoever gives negative reviews must be pissed off at him.
Professor di Pasquale was a very good professor, very caring and alot of wisdom, I learned alot from taking his class, he is a good teacher and funny.
By far, he is very helpful and really want to pass all his students to move on to the next lvl. He understand how hard it can be to become a good writer. Therefore, he is trying to help his students anyway he can cuz he cares not like other English Prof just want to FAIL you and make you feel like you are useless sh@t.
So people say this professor is so awesome but he really is not... if you are a teachers pet take him and he will probably give you an A or B+. If you do all your work, get A's on projects, and attend classes you probably will get a C+ cause he has to proper rubric for grading.
IF YOU CAN TAKE HIM...DO IT! he is so easy, calm, talks about the funniest things and doesnt really care about what you write about. hes very understanding and usually ends class 30 mins early. awesome professor. got a B+ and i barely did anything never really went to class either.
I had him last semester for ENG 121 so I was familiar with his teaching style. However, this time I was burnt out from writing so I felt a little bored but I managed to pass his class. He is still a good professor though and he won't give you a bad grade for no reason.
Pretty good prof. Funny and nice, but makes you feel slightly uncomfortable by staring and asking strange questions. you wont learn SH!T about anything but its an easy A if you go to class.
Funny Class, Seems easy tho. he is a little strange but very interesting
Prof di pasquale is a great professor. i was never bored in his class. he really wants his students to pass his class. Es un profesor muy bueno.!
He is a great professor!I learned more about "thinking" then i expected. He is so out of the box and has such a different opinion to things i thought i understood. Pasquale has changed the way i see the world. (im not being a teachers pet, i didnt talk much in my class but just listening to this man gives such insight) TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!
He is a great Professor.
EASY! I took him in the summer for childrens lit. Easy A. Especially if your a girl. Have your own unique opinion & your golden. He'll go out of his way to help you if you ask.
He is a very good and extraordinary professor.
Just too cute
Great Professor. Very Helpful and a fair grader. Take him if you get the chance.
Outstanding writer and human being. Provides wisdom that will help beyond writing!
Such an interesting professor, has a different way of thinking, a fair grader and his class is so interesting I wish I had him in 121
Nicest teacher at MCC. i took him for children lit. best class ever. he talks a lot about his daughter and wants to know about his students. He really cares. I loved his class!
Interesting professor. Doesn't lecture so much as he has a discussion and conversation with the class instead. Not boring.
Alls I can say is he is a great professor. Really opens your eyes to things and cares about his students. Highly recommend.
He is an intellectual, if you fail his class it is because of the lack of critical thinking you have. he is amazing I'd take him again if i didnt already take my english courses ... he is phenominal and im glad i took him for summer 1
loved this class, very interesting, not boring at all. only 2 assignemnts and the rest are in class essays. if english is not your thing, take this class.
Best English professor ever!!!
This prof makes you think outside the box. He's the man!! Awesome class, take this professor!!
Super nice guy! His teaching is kind of strange but the class is an easy A! He doesn't overload you with work and he's very understanding.
great professor overall! he was very nice and personable. i took him for children's lit in the winter session and we did not have to do too much which was good. he made the class very easy, and if you didn't understand something, he would explain clearly and help you if you needed it. take him you will not regret it.
Best professor I've had so far, very nice man. Loves detail in his required papers. You can write a paper about something off topic and still get a B in his class. You only get an A if you are a decent/good writer. Take him for any English course he teaches, you will not regret it (unless you are an English major and want to learn a lot more).
he is cool and easy, so take him
He is so nice and he grades nicely... A lot of critical thinking and he cares more about discussion then actual testing... only two essays and mini quizzes which are more opinion based. For example: Just like colin powell goes beyond his ethnic make up, how do u go beyong your ethnic make up, background, religion, and self?
VERY easy class. i never read a single thing he told us too and passed every quiz/test with flying colors. still good to read just so you know what he may have in mind for the test (an essay every test, every other week). he's very interactive and a fun loving guy, as well as interesting. loved his classes!
Excellent teacher. Not boring like most english teachers. English is my worst subject but i actually enjoyed going to his class. All of the assignments were basically writing about yourself. Recommend esp to those that hate english
He is such a great proffesor! You could tell he genuinely cares about his students. His teaching is very unique, he teaches through life experience. He definitely is not on your back when it comes to assignments, so you need self-motivation for that. Awesome proffesor, one of my favorite!
Upon his advice, I sat in on some of his classes. He loves everyone and everyone loves him. He doesn't like to give poor grades and says that other Profs. just test to confuse students and don't actually test on the work. He was so right!
I love professor Emanuel , he is like the cutest ever... whenever I went to class, I learned so much from his experience and all the random topics he opened... he made me a better writer, helping me express my emotions in my writing and not worrying about making it look formal.. if your a good writer you will receive an A
Hands down, THE BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR I ever had in my life! He is the most down to earth, cute little Italian guy and he treats you as if you are family. I liked that he wanted you to write and describe things based on your emotions. Such a sweetheart! Definitely take him and you will pass!
He is the best teacher i have ever taken in my life with no exageration. He makes you think about things you have never thought about, he inspires you and helps you pass. JUST DO ALL THE HW, and try to PARTICIPATE in class. His tests are not really hard, but you have to prepare a little for them. I would definately take him again ( try this semester ENG-247) :)
Really like him. Nice and funny guy. Feel like I could have gotten a higher grade in his class though but still is a really good and awesome teacher. Lets you leave early.
This prof is amazing. He is truly an inspiration. His teaching technique is way different then your average prof. He teaches based on experiences not theoretically. I love going to his classes and look forward to them. He gave a girl in my class 60 dollars to go buy bagels for our next class!! He loves every one of his students.
Professor Di Pasquale is a good guy, however it's already the middle of the semester and I haven't learned anything. He expects you to write with emotion each time there's an essay, journal, etc which is great, but I don't think that's going to help me in the near future. He speaks more about his life than the actual course.
Any teacher that takes his entire class out to his car to listen to his favorite Bob Dylan song is a OK by me! I took English 1&3 and children's lit with him! He's such an inspirational intelligent man who genuinely cares about his students. I received A's in all 3 courses I took with him. 5 years Later and his impact on my life is remarkable
CHOOSE HIM. Such an amazing professor. His lectures are always something to look forward to. He makes you wroite from your heart.
He doesn't teach much, usually just watch videos on youtube and talks about his personal life .He usually gives a B but if you go to him after class asking what you could improve in your writing that could help with future papers he will recheck your work and give an A ..
One of the best Professor at Mcc ! Take him while you can. His classes get filled up quickly. Just show up to class & You'll pass with atleast B for sure. Highly Recommended.
The best English professor so far, very helpful with hw and other class assignments
Professor di Pasquale was a breath of fresh air. It is a bonus that he is an author, he actually breathes life into the words when he reads to the class. I promise you, there will be no disappointment. You'll enjoy coming to this English class.
I would highly recommend taking this professors class! He is truly an inspiration and one of the greatest professors I have met at MCC. No matter what you write about he looks at with an open mind. The only thing negative or positive will be his constructive feedback, which is helpful in the long run. Great guy! Great Class! You will be interested!
Participated in creative writing class many years ago. This man was not only a great writer, but a great listener. I feel his excellent writing skills are only the tip of the iceberg. I still use his feedback years later for my writing, and life.
You really don't do anything in the class, you just sit there and listen to him talk about his life and random things. He does favor women and people that sit in the front. The essays you write are only 3 pages and on things you want to write about like your favorite movie or music, he also usually gives everyone a B. Dont even need to show up.
Talented,wise,and smart. The syllabus is straight foward,if you follow it and do the readings, no reason why you cant get an A. He is a great Prof. I would go to class just to hear his lectures and how he incorporated his life and feelings into all of his writings. He is inspirational,try,put some effort in and you wont regret his class.
Take Him!!!! You wont regret it. Highly Recommendedddddd
Wow !! This has got to be the kindest, most compassionate teacher one can ever find. He makes everything very easy !! ... Very casual, friendly, and relaxed demeanor. With even a small amount of effort, he'll help you pass the class. Do not Hesitate to take his class !!
Take him if you want a easy B and not learn anything. This guy is nice and everything but he is in his own world. He will give you a B regardless if you barely wrote any essays or even took a midterm.
Really enjoyed taking his class he was funny. Really liked him. Do miss having him when I was in MCC and I wish I could have done a little bit better in his class however, I am still happy I had him.
This is a fun and interesting class.
Overall having a great experience in this class. He expects you to read a lot. has a tendency to be a tough grader but if you genuinely try he won't give anything below a B. Even then he gives you the option to rewrite it for a better grade. Real nice guy, worth taking the class
He is so amazing please take him! He is such an easy grader and I love his personality. He is the only teacher I have that I honestly enjoy his lectures. He really tries to get to know the class. If you want an A take him!
He is an amazing Prof. He cares about his students and if you dont show up to half the classes it doesnt even matter. doing half the work will still get you in the A to B range. he even bought the whole 9 am class pizza once. Amazing Teacher. Would Take Again. Highly Highly Recommended! :)
Took him for Children's Lit and English. His class is easy and you learn a lot from him. You don't need to buy the textbook either. Show up to class, participate and do the work and you'll get an A. Would definitely take him again he is the best!
I actually think it is impossible to fail a class with him. You never have to do any work and he doesn't track attendance. He is very vague which can be frustrating, but he is a genuinely nice guy. If you want an easy grade 100% take him, but I really didn't learn anything. Class was a joke.
Best professor who truly cares about his students. Hardly any work and attendance is not mandatory. Super caring professor with a huge heart! Take him!!
Very nice guy I had personal issues going on while I took him and he was really nice and understanding of them he gave me weeks of extra time during papers and he was very understanding and Because of that I actually still talk to him to this day his classes fill up in the first 3 hours so take him if you can I got an A when I almost dropped
Great professor but more importantly great person! He tells us stories from when he was young and the good part about his class is that there is no tests! Only papers about you! Love the class and the professor! I RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT AN A!!!
He is the sweetest angel I have ever met. Such a nice old man who really loved teaching and his students. If you don't get to experience a class with him you are truly missing out. I would take him over and over again.
you don't really need to show up to class if you hand in your papers on time. he got us pizza like 4 times in the semester. you CAN'T fail his class, but if you're looking for an A you have to participate and act like your interested in what he's talking about.
Professor Emanuel di Pasquale was a great teacher. He had been teaching for 50 years in MCC; he knows the college very well. If you have any problem in the college talk to him, he will direct you. He bought us pizza four times this semester. No one fails his class.
Just show up and try, he will teach you the basic stuff they did not teach you in high school. YOU CANNNOT FAIL THIS CLASS. HE is very inspirational. He gives you great feedback, and if you write from your "heart" he will know and give you a good grade. You could buy an essay online and hand it in, he will know. He will be disappointed. HAVE FUN
Amazing 100% take don't think twice
He's a professor about showing you what life is! seems weird right? Take him no matter what class he is teaching. The most caring professor of MCC. You would an idiot for not taking him. 3 essays are due in his class. No citation no limits of pages or sentences or words. Only use your mind. Half page essay would be enough too.
One of the best professor in MCC history
This is by far one of the easiest professors in MCC. He constantly brings food for the class. All semester we had a total of 1 paper that was a joke. If you show up every other class you will be fine. 10/10 would take again.
DiPasquale is amazing, some people say they haven't learned anything but that's probably because they didn't pay attention because DiPasquale is so intelligent and wise. He spreads his knowledge with his class with one conversation. This is the point of literature and writing you speak about whatever comes to your head. He appreciates good writing.
One of the brightest stars in teaching I've ever encountered. Wisdom charm and a gift that makes his class a joy to attend. A man for all seasons
Professor DiPasquale was a very good English professor at Middlesex College.
