smart guy. makes you think. hard class, but you'll learn something.

Professor Big. is the man. I took him for Eng221, and, I got to tell you, the man knows his stuff. He sways on the literal and philosophical a little bit, but, what great mind doesn't. He expects a lot, but will give as much in return.

Very interesting class - unique take on required reading.

i feel that the basis of what i learned in his class was used in the rest of my college career great guy

Negative ratings of this professor aren't justified. As it is an English course, there is reading required. Class discussions follow the readings, it's very simple. You will get more from his classes if you participate and show an interest. Willing to speak with students, very helpful. Great class discussions and interesting reading assignments.

If you pay attention and do the readings you'll be ok in the class. He is very hard and has many expectations, so don't take this class if you have other heavy courses. On the downside, his is VERY pompous and he picks favorites.

OMG, he makes you read? Really, it's outrageous, reading in an English class? and wow, he really makes you write that much? C'mon people, this is what you should expect from a college level English class, get over it! He's a GREAT professor and tries to get you to think more. If you think you're still in HS then don't even waste yours/or his time.

super funny guy, love his hair.

If you're willing to work in this class, you will not find a more enjoyable one. If you're one of those students who sits in the back of the class and doesn't contribute to the discussion, it won't be pleasant. He thrives off class input, and can be quite funny. Make sure to do your work: there is a decent amount of it, but this is college.

This is a great professor who cares a lot about the students that care about what they're doing. This is a COLLEGE English course - be prepared to read a lot and to write. That is the point of college....If you want an easy A and aren't willing to contribute do NOT take a class with this guy. It will be a waste of time for both of you.

Dear Students,This is college, you will read, which means you should be learning and this professor has A LOT to teach you. He's super helpful and if you're willing to go in the classroom with an open mind, you'll walk out a better thinker and much better writer. If you just don't want to work or refuse to think, don't take the class.

I can't believe some of the comments I read, his is so nice and tries to make sometimes not funny jokes but he's never been against us for stating our opinions and greatly encourages them. Sure it's a good amount of reading but I signed up for college, not kindergarten.

This class was one of the best classes I have taken. he is a great teacher, and funny in class. You need to do the reading in order to understand what is going on. This is college...you're expected to read and you should want to learn (it's what you're paying for). Overall great class! :)

I think the comments on here are a little harsh. I am not one of the people who participate in class too often, but I wouldn't say he disrespects me for it! He expects you to read, and being in college that really isn't an unreasonable request! He's funny, and class is pretty enjoyable. The readings are pretty good too.

I think a lot of the reviews are extremely unfair.If you complete assigned readings/speak up in class/show up for class, it will be apparent in your grade. He is incredibly smart, and students stand to learn a lot from him if they put in the effort. If things are unclear, he will do his best to help you if you ask for it.

I haven't known him for very long but Dr. Biglieri is definitely a super funny, super smart guy who has been a total pleasure. He only asks that you read the material and participate. His classes are fun and interactive and his taste in literature is good so you'll probably end up reading cool stuff you might not have otherwise heard of.

Greg Biglieri is one of the best professors I've had at Buffalo State. He is incredibly smart and funny. I took a poetry class with him and so much material was covered. If you go to class and put some effort into the reading and participate then you will do great. I never skipped a class because it was always entertaining. TAKE THIS CLASS!

You should not take Dr. Biglieri's class if you're looking for an easy A. You should take his class if you want a knowledgable and engaging professor who pushes you to understand the subject matter. Dr. Biglieri is always available outside of class for students who wish to speak about the subject he knows.

From reading everyone's comments, I was scared to take this class. However, I loved this class. He loves what he teaches and yes, It is challenging but that's what college is about. As long as you engage yourself and do the work, you'll do fine. I love poetry now because of him and this class. One of the best professors I've ever had!

If you do the reading and participate in discussions you will Ace his class. He has a quirky sense of humor, which can be misinterpreted. He is very passionate about Literature and it comes through in his lectures. Tests are always passage identifications and can be hard, but if you do the reading you will pass.

Dr. B is a great guy. If you have an issue, whether it be with the curriculum or personal conflicts, he is available as long as you ask. This class was stressful, but I wouldn't have learned as much as I have about Shakespeare otherwise. This is college and it's a 300 level class. It shouldn't be easy because that defeats the purpose.

I entered this class prior to becoming an English teacher, he was amazing. If you participate and aren't afraid to share your thoughts on the reading, you will do well. You have to read, participate, and do the work. He is hilarious and tells very interesting stories. He gets a little political and you can't take offense to it (plus he's right)

This rating system doesn't do Dr. B justice. I enjoyed his class immensely and I'm actually sad that it's over. However, he's a tough grader and if you're looking for an A, don't bother.

Great subject matter. Use your brain, that's what you're there for. Friendly and there if you need help with problems. Encourages creativity (within the guidelines- don't go too crazy). Smart smart. If you want to sleep or play on you cellphone(s) you're not going to do well. No way around it. Be cool.

The only way to survive Dr. Biglieri is to throw Dr. Biglieri right back at him. If youre a sensitive person, tread lightly because hell rip you apart. Otherwise, if you do your work and contribute hes hilarious and extremely passionate about the content and the banter that ensues will stick with you long after you have him.

Ive taken two classes with Dr. B and I must say hes my favorite professor at buff state. Hes very sarcastic with the type of personality you either love or hate, there is no middle ground. He tries very hard to be funny and demands class participation. He is very insightful when it comes to interpreting the literature.

Greg is the professor I look up to the most at Buff State. He is, undeniably, a very difficult grader, and his personality can alienate students, especially students who slack off or don't bother to think. Discussions can be incredibly meaningful if you're invested and working on a deeper level. Prof. B is very sarcastic, very funny, and clever.

Just an overall good dude. Has a hard time keeping politics out of the classroom, but what professor doesn't these days. Very engaging conversations in his class. I am looking to take him again somehow, even though the class will not count towards my major. I took him 2 years ago and still think of the discussions we had as a class.

Professor Biglieri is a tough professor to review. If you're mature, a hard worker, and not afraid of discussion - he's your guy. He is NOT an easy A. He's NOT going to let you just sit on your phone. But the educational experience you get is well worth the hard work. He changed me as a student for the better, and I thank him for it.

I absolutely loved this class! The discussions were amazing, if you enjoy speaking in class and analyzing material then I would certainly recommend. I took this as a hybrid class due to COVID but the transition was incredibly smooth. You will have to write a lot and there are a lot of quizzes (never any pop quizzes). But you get out what you put in

Gregg has been one of my favorite professors so far. I always get ready to have a good chuckle upon entering his class. Some of the books picked weren't the most interesting, but it was worth it all the same just to be able to experience what this man had to offer. This is a man that loves reading, Italian, and Hot Pockets

Greg was a great professor. This class was interesting, and he is very passionate. All the films are film noir (old black and white movies) so they can be boring at times. If you watch the movies assigned and participate you will have no problem. Exams and papers are based on analysis of the films, so write as much as you can. Greg is cool and fun.

Professor B is a great professor, he doesn't take lightly to slacking off. Attendance is mandatory for any of his courses, because the classes are all based on lecture. He will expect you to pay attention and participate. If you do not, he will call on you. He just wants you to pay attention, attend, and complete your work on time and correctly.

Greg is a good professor, because his advantage is more than disadvantage on teaching. For advantage, he has full of attention to care student who ask specific question. If you don't know somethings, just ask, furthermore, he accept the delay homework. Disadvantage: like teasing student work is hard. a nice and fun teacher but ready for challenge.
