He is very clear of what he wants. He is tough, but only because he believes you can do better. He can tell if you did not try or if you did the work last minute. Just follow his lectures and ask questions if you are confused. Gives you all the tools and time to succeed.

I wrote 1 essay about God and this man started to grade me differently and had a problem with everything I wrote and when I finally fixed it flawlessly he claimed since it was late he wasnt grading it even tho he graded the last ones.

Super super tough class. Went off ratemyprofessor com and I regret it 1000 times. He doesnt talk to you or even look at the class unless you have a question. We finish school in a month and I know he doesnt know 1 person. Hard hard grader. Dont take him. No matter how hard you work, he will fail you!!! Good luck if you chose to take him!!

3 papers for the whole class, along with group projects; gives you multiple chances to improve your paper before submitting it for a final grade. Lectures were average, not too long. Didn't need a book. Very lenient on attendance, but do have your papers in before 11:59 the day its due. Oh yeah he's extremely blunt, & very outspoken!

Worst professor all he does is lecture and it is so boring . Nothing matters in the class except two research papers. He is very tough about grammar and sources so your pretty much screwed. He has quizzes every week about readings. If you are not a lit major do not take this horrible professor

he's a professor who thinks just because he's a professor he can get away with saying his opinion no matter how touchy the topic is (they have NOTHING to do with what we're doing) he does give you the whole class to do ur essays and allows a good amount of time to redo ur essays. its an easy a if u apply yourself. he helps w citations.

He is the worst professor ever. His grading sucks and not clear. He marks what you have wrong on your papers, but doesn't show you how to fix it. We literally wrote papers on the Simpsons, and stereotypes all semester and nothing else. His class is a waste of time DO NOT TAKE HIM

These comments are wild - lol. Professor Cecere is a dope instructor. If you don't pass his class, it is probably because you are lazy, don't show up to class and don't utilize the writing lab. And honestly to pass his class you may not need all of that. He wants a good paper, he also checks it as much as you send it in and give feedback.

only showed up to 3 classes the whole semester and passed with a 88% all he said is make sure you do your essays and submit them on time and you will be fine. he lets you submit the essays before the due date and will give it the grade he thinks it deserves and will let you correct what he marked wrong to fix your grade to resubmit on the due date.

I had his 8am class and he would only talk for a few minutes to explain the homework and then leave the call open so students could ask him questions as they worked on the assignments. VERY FAST GRADER. he lets you turn in the assignments multiple times to get a better grade. He answers emails fast and gives good feedback on how to improve yourself

he literally SO full of himself and will make you feel horrible about your mistakes. he doesnt try to help, he gives you websites and other resources for help but if you ask him he will make sure that you feel like an idiot by the end of the conversation. lastly, essays are on topics that are nearly impossible to write on like ads or definitions.

Do not take this professor unless you are ready to listen to him speak for the entirety of class about his far leftist views and demonic opinions on the world. Instead of going over the class syllabus or assignments, he told us all that we were murderers if we chose not to get a vaccine. He also forces masks in his class or you will be kicked out.

First professor I ever had at Palm Beach State and I loved the experience. This professor has great humor and gives excellent feedback on essays. He didn't require that we come to class and allowed us to work from home or wherever we felt most comfortable.

I never particularly had an issue with him except the fact that he didn't let me redo an assignment to bring my C up to a B. All he really does is talk about Trump and he does whatever he can to bring his Liberal political views in literally everything he talks about. If you're a republican you're not safe in this class.

Hate it. Don't do it. All he does is talk about unnecessary topics that have nothing to do with the assignment-ESPECIALLY TRUMP/ POLITICS. Worst topics ever to write on. 1000 word essays due every 2 weeks, if you're a min late with submitting he will not take it. If u message him he won't answer. Literally run while you can
