Cool guy.
Good teacher
Great teacher
The class was entertaining at times. Mr Feminineo did well as a teacher considering he was hired the day classes were scheduled to start. However if you despise multiple choice then the tests can be tough.
The professor is always there for us, explains the material very well, tried to make the material not boring. I got use of this class, before I was ignorant about important issues, but after taking this class, I feel myself knowledgeable, I love this class and I'm grateful to my professor.
Very good professor. Learned a lot of things from his teachings.
Excellent Professor. Great lectures. Helps you really learn the material. Makes class fun and easy to attend. He is always available for help if needed. He provides a great understanding of the material. Lectures are fun and entertaining. I highly recommend everyone to take this professor if possible while they are attending Macomb.
Amazing Professor Highly Recommended
Awesome Professor. I wish he taught more classes at Macomb. Everyone should take his class.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Not quite sure why he has not run for president yet. This guy is amazing and certainly knows what he's talking about not to mention makes it entertaining all at the same time! If you take one proff. here at MCC and love poli-sci take him! i am telling you. Exams are written but not bad at all.
I learned more than I thought I would and I went to class high most the the semester!
Great professor! If you come to class and read the book, you should get an A. Also gives curves on his tests! He incorporates Fox and MSNBC into his lectures.
For an 8am politicial science class .. There was nothing tiring/boring about it. His lectures are very entertaining, often incorporates tv clips. His exams are both multiple choice and written. If you read the book and pay attention to the examples used in lecture, you should do good! He also curves his exams and offers extra credit.
He is a really good professor, his lectures are not boring he makes them entertaining. He gives a lot of handouts for you to study for the test. Tests were kinda of difficult, but not too bad. He grades his tests fairly. He is willing to help you out if you ask.
Mr. Feminenio is a great teacher. He gives great lectures and keeps the class as engaged as possible. The class is never boring and you learn a lot in a little period of time. The test he gives are exactly what you learn in class and he grades pretty well too. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to unset politics better.
Mr. Femminineo is a great teacher. He is very clear about the subject, he likes what he does and enjoys it. Not a single homework was given, but you have to study for his tests really hard.
Professor Femminineo was a great! His sense of humor kept students attentive during lectures. He doesn't hand out homework and though your class grades are based on only four exams, the materials given are also handed out beforehand as well for study purposes. He's also a lawyer! He's very inspiring! I definitely recommend!
Passionate teacher
Great professor. His lectures are easy to follow and understand. If you are not a political science major you will need to attend every class! Your homework is to read the next chapter before class, I highly recommend it!
He is an awesome teacher. He makes class fun and interesting. Tests are not super easy but they are fair.
Cool professor. Exams are tougher than they seem.
Awesome professor and very passionate about what he do in class.
Great attitude and a bunch of knowledge of real world situations relating to class. Wish I could take his class every semester.
He is a very cool teacher.. he gets to know everyone and helps out a lot. And talked about what is going on in the real world today.
For being very active in politics and being a lawyer, he is very neutral when it comes to teaching politics. Even when I can tell he's more one sided in his personal life.
Be ready to study but the plus is no homework. I love his teaching style because he engages you in the process and makes it relatable. He makes himself available anytime for questions and never makes you feel bad for getting clarification on something. But you have to put in time to read and know definitions. Extremely fair.
Great Professor, great Lectures. Keeps the class interesting with current events, videos, etc. Realistic and true to what actually happens in politics. Graded only on tests but lots of extra credit opportunities available. Have to study for tests from books because there aren't many notes able to be taken in class in my opinion. Easy A if you study
The best professors. I've even had because he's "Nice" Really knows how to explain the subject! A class I had no interest in and he changed that.
very good teacher, and easy to understand whats being taught. He makes himself available when needed. i would recommend him to other students.
I would recommend Professor Femminineo to any student in pursuit of broadening their knowledge on U.S. government, whether you're a political science whiz or a rookie! Expect engaging lectures, interesting content, and witty remarks. The class is weighed on the four fair exams that you'll take, no homework. PS His face is on billboards #celebrity
I have never been more excited to learn about politics and government until I took this class, professor Femminineo makes his class fun and excited weather it's watching funny political SNL videos or going over the Articles of Confederation. I wish he would teach more then just politics.
Such a fun class. Professor Femminineo made the class interesting and enjoyable. He makes the class easy to be engaged in. His classes are lecture based, with a few clips from SNL and other news stations. Tests are on the harder side, so make sure you attend as many classes as possible and pay attention during the lectures! Loved this class!
I looked forward attending each week even though it was a Friday night. He kept our attention.
Awesome teacher, great class
A good professor, give many opportunities for extra credit as well. If you put in the effort needed you will pass!
I would like more short quizes than long exams
Make sure you take notes and even if you miss class if you email him he will make sure you get what you need. He'll also send a mass text out to let the people know who missed class that they need to contact him so they can get the material for the quiz.
Its an interesting class to take but he gets off topic a lot. There are only 3 exams and a final exam in the class so you have to make sure to study for your exams. He does not really give you anything to study for exams, which makes it hard. I would not recommend taking this class if you are not ok with teaching yourself.
Good Teacher, Great for an 8am class, Tests are harder than they seem, and does not give any homework
Awesome teacher!! Such enthuisaism about the topic every day. Really easy to talk to. Very understandable. Would recommend to anyone!!
Good teacher. Lectures are interesting and unbiased. If you don't come to class and don't read the book you'll struggle. Tests are hard, but extra credit opportunities are available.
Mr.F was by far my favorite professor by far. He makes you look forward to every class. trust me, take his class you will thank me later. coolest teacher ever.
He's the man. Everything you could want in a teacher. Finally an objective political science class
Great Professor, tests were clear, attendance matters, lectures were good.
Mr. Femminineo is one of my favorite professors at Macomb. His lectures aren't boring and exams are very straight forward. He is very easy to contact through text or email. He gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. Read the chapters, pay attention in class, study for your exams, and you'll do well.
One of the nicest professors at macomb he makes you and forces you to pay attention because everything he says is so useful and he's one of those professors if he says what's going to be on the test is going to be on the tests he whenever he reviews in class it's basically just from it alone u will get a c on the test overal great Professor!!
Great teacher but you will have to work for your grade. Nothing in his class will be given to you.
Lectures are interesting. He starts off with video clips of current events. Uses lots of local politics for his lectures to keep the students active.
Very lecture heavy class, but he makes the lectures interesting. You do have to work hard for a good grade and there are no study guides given, but he still makes what is going to be on the test clear.
Great class. Lots of insight into American politics. Lots of extra credit options. Awesome professor.
Very good teacher, very easy to access outside of class. He answers all your questions and does not demand attendance. Offers extra credit. Funny, lectures aren't painfully boring
Teacher is very funny and nice. His lectures are easy to follow and informative.
He's probably the best professor I have had so far and I appreciate how much time he takes to help students on his own time. He makes his lectures not so boring and he tells you what will be on the test- nothing irrelevant. He always starts class by showing videos of current events in American politics which gives students a way to connect.
His lectures can be very interesting they have a lot to do with what goes on in real life
Great professor, easy to contact, very helpful and funny. The lectures also aren't boring.
Mr. Femminineo is a great teacher, he is a well respected guy, is one on one with you if you need the help, he is always their to listen to anything about the class or just anything to talk about. I would recommend him again to anyone!
Prof F is the most entertaining prof ive had at MCC. The lectures are insightful and the criteria required to pass the course is clearly stated
He really makes sure you understand the material. He's super excited, loud and in your face but it's actually really good because it helps you be more involved and pay attention. He really helped me understand what we were learning, not just cram information from a book to pass an exam.
Prof Femminineo is a great guy. He really explains the material in detail and his lectures are always exciting. Makes it clear to u what is needed to pass. I Would strongly recommend him.
Makes lectures very interesting and relate-able to our age group. Good with getting exams back in timely manner. If you go over hand outs you will do well on exams. Plenty of time to study for exams. Would definitely recommend him!!
Great teacher , he knows the law and politics very well, funny , clear and energetic
Awesome professor; makes the subject easy to understand
Great professor. He knows the law and politics very well. Would definitely recommend him.
I was nervous to take this class because I'm not into politics but I've really enjoyed the class. The lectures are interesting, current and funny. He's constantly making himself available for students and easy to contact. Definitely one of my favorite professors!
He was a fill-in after our other professor had a medical emergency. He was much easier to follow and he keeps your attention and gets to the point.
I was skeptical about taking a politics class because I was afraid of having a professor who pushed his views on the class. I was pleased to see that prof Femminineo was completely neutral with everything he talked about which helped me understand the subject much more. Great professor to have for a morning class!
Probably the nicest teacher I have ever came across. So friendly and easy to be around cares about individual students. From what I've heard all the other American politic teachers aren't very good so I'm very lucky I had this professor. Very easy on the eyes also.
Great professor! And great at explaining things
Very good professor. Test are difficult but he will pretty much tell you what will be on it, so if you study that you'll do well. We were only graded on 4 test but there was extra credit offered to help. Enjoyed the class and professor, would take him again.
Awesome lectures that make a pretty boring subject exciting! His demeanor in the morning is perfect for waking up to. I would recommend him to anyone needing or wanting to take political science! I just wish he taught more courses!!
Very enthusiastic lecturer. He tries his best to engage the students and turns a rather mundane subject interesting. Exams are not easy, but expectations are made clear from the beginning, and all materials on the test are either covered in class or can be found in the book.
Very knowledgeable
Great professor, makes lectures more enjoyable. Easy to understand. Would like to have him as a professor again in the future
He made Political Science somewhat interesting. He throws bad jokes out during lectures which makes them funny. He tends to get off topic for a minute (usually about how nice the weather is). Overall a great professor and i would definitely recommend him to anyone who was considering taking his class.
As long as you follow along in the lecture or at least do his study guides, you should get at least a passing grade.
Great professor. He truly cares about the students and gives you a good amount of exam questions if you simply attend class. Read the book and listen to lectures, you'll have no problem passing
Awesome teacher! Super nice and so funny. Relates topics to something relatable so everybody can usually understand. Wish there were homework assignments to get some more points besides just the tests. Great class!!!!!!!!
Awesome professor. He's really nice and tries to make every lecture entertaining. Grades are only based on tests but the study guide he gives helps.
You need to be in class to get all the information needed for tests. He puts more information from his lectures in the test than information from the book.
Prof Femminineo is very enthusiastic and always tries his best to engage his students. He often talks about current political issues and uses many examples to demonstrate certain concepts, such that we can relate the subject to many practical matters. His exams are not difficult if you make an effort to study the materials.
This class is really easy if you pay attention because he usually talks for the whole 2 hours and that is how it's going to be for the semister. He doesn't write his notes on the board, he only discuss it to the class. There is no homeworka at all, only when there's a test and you will need to study for it. Other than that, this class is not hard.
This class is really easy. He doesn't give you any homework but he recommend you to study for the test. He lecture for the whole hours and you should listen so you can understand. He's really nice and respectful.
Good prof, just a very sometimes terribly boring subject. Tries to make it fun and is good at doing such. Better than my high school history/gov teachers.
Very credible
This professor filled in for the original professor and saved the class for everyone. His lectures are a lot of fun and I learned a lot more than I would have with a different professor.
Prof Femminineo starts each class with video clips relating to current events. This semester he showed us O'reilly and SNL with occasional sprinklings of Hannity and Maddow. An A is extremely feasible in this class. Attend review day before test and memorize the vocab for each chapter and 80% of your studying is done, the rest is conceptual.
GREAT GUY!! Make sure you read before each class to know what's going on. Its a must!!! Other than that was a fun class. Would recommend to others.
Very funny guy who is easy to talk to! Participate and you will get a better grade.
Great teacher, interesting lecturer, and a good teaching style.
Dude is amazing blending of textbook knowlege and real world experience.
Mr. Femminineo is a terrific professor! Write down everything he says, because most likely you'll see it again on the test. He'll start the class with video clips and have open discussion about current events in politics. Does a great job engaging the class.
Awesome teacher. Would definitely recommend taking classes with Prof. Femminineo, he makes the reading understandable. The test are pretty tough, but with studying you'll be fine.
He is a great professor, and lectures are really clear and informational. The tests are pretty tough. He gives extra credit which is awesome, and he's a really nice professor that wants you to pass.
I consider myself lucky to have taken a class taught by this professor. The lectures are informative and entertaining. He is available and easily accessible, and also understanding and fair. Studying is a must to do well, but not too much to ask. This professor is top notch. If I get even one more like him I would consider myself very fortunate. A+
Amazing professor. One thing i like about him that he is flexible to us, give lot of extra credit. Great personality. He provide us handnote in class that is very handy. Overall i enjoyed the class.
Makes the class interesting and original, never afraid to say what he has to say.
Funny and nice! You don't need to bring anything for your tests, he supplies scantrons and pencils. You don't need to raise your hand to answer, just speak up. I favorite class so far is "how a bill is made", because we watched "school house rock" !!!
Great guy! Really good teacher, he's really serious about his job and his teaching shows it. A LOT better than my last POLS 1000 teacher. If he could be my teacher in all the rest of my classes I'd be happy!
Mr. Femminineo is a great professor. He makes learning fun because he is hilarious with his lecture. You will always know what to study for on the test and midterm because he tells you ahead of time, no surprises on the test. If someone not doing well in the class, he gives plenty of extra credit. Great Teacher!
Great teacher. Kept us engaged in lecture and went over all tests with us. Never kept us full four hours (bonus!) and didn't lower grades because of absences. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Grade based on exams, no homework. Exams were easier if you actually studied, but kind of tough. Would recommend to a friend for sure.
Professor Femminineo is awesome. You need to attend the lectures and read the chapters in order to do good on the tests. His test are either all multiple choice or half multiple choice and half essays. Overall easy class if you put any work in.
I really enjoyed this course Professor Femminineo is easy going and funny. Class isn't boring at all, if you attend class and keep up with the reading and notes you will do great. The class offers many extra credit opportunities.
Such a great professor who makes class enjoyable. Good humor and is always available for extra help.
Hes very funny makes class about modern issues.
Professor femminineo does a great job keeping a rather boring subject entertaining. There are numerous extra credit opportunities to help boost your grade. If you take notes read the book and study you should have no problem passing the class, he is more than a fair grader.
He is a great teacher to have because he makes the topics interesting to listen to and provides examples to give a deeper meaning. He relates what you learn in class to modern day issues which helps make the content more meaningful.
So funny
Really good caring teacher, take him!
Overall an awesome professor. Very funny sometimes. You will indeed fail if you skip lectures so make sure you show up to class. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.
He's a really funny and cool professor
Best teacher ever!
Get ready to hear a lot of lectures, beware if you are senstive to swearing. Can be slightly annoying but you can be passive agressive on your essay and you'll be fine. Gives lots of extra cerdit, but no study guide for exam.
He is a great professor. He is always available for help outside of class and gives a lot of extra credit to help boost your grade.
Awesome teacher. He makes a really boring subject enjoyable with his lectures. He has great humor and tell you exactly what you need to know for tests.
Professor Feminineo has been great so far this semester. I took this instructor based on the advice of a sibling, but the reviews here solidified my decision in doing so. As far as the other positive recommendations on here they are right! He shares a lot of knowledge. He really knows his stuff, and is a great lecturer. Not boring at all! Take him!
GREAT LECTURES, HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION IN ORDER TO DO REALLY GOOD ON TESTS
You will not be bored best class i had yet at MCC
His lectures are very good and helps you understand the material. Very loud but keeps you interested in politics.
He rocks
Professor is very knowledgeable of the subject. Lectures are very enthusiastic and gets the class involved making it easy to participate. Makes politics more than tolerable for the few who are just there because the class is mandatory. Not a draw back, but don't expect an easy A. Overall one of the best Professors I have had over the years!
Lectures are relevant and interesting. His lectures cover the information that will be on the tests-so just pay attention and take notes and you will have no trouble. If you aren't in class for the lecture prepare to read the information (which will be very boring compared to the lecture).
The teacher knows his information and what the students need to know. You basically have to come to class, listen to his lectures , write some notes , and you will get an A. It is easy to know what is the focus of the test is going to be on as he says he is focusing on this subject.
Very helpful and open minded person.... :)
He is a really nice teacher gives extra credit very good explanation he always try's to make the class fun and interesting .
Mr. Femminineo is an amazing Professor. His lectures are always entertaining and the content is very interesting as well. Just show up to class and study. His tests are very straight forward and either are MC or essay based, or both. He tells you what you need to know. He also gives out extra credit at least once or twice every two weeks.
If you get test anxiety dont take this class your grade is base only off of test
He is a really nice teacher gives extra credit very good explanation he always try's Amazing lectures
If youre not familiar with politics, this class will be challenging at first because you wont be able to keep up. After a while though, youll be fine and he gives a lot of extra credit which makes up for him not giving study guides for tests. As long as you study the notes he gives and the notes you take during lectures you should be fine.
Very funny professor! Make sure to attend class since it is lecture heavy! Tests are the majority of your grade, but he does offer extra credit frequently!
He is a funny professor and makes the class fun!
Great stories
He makes class interesting. Incorporates modern politics into everyday discussion. Makes jokes. Offers extra credit almost every week. Overall a really good professor for an introduction class. Reading from the book helps, but it's not mandatory.
It is a really good class if you like learning about politics and how the Government is run If not don't take the class.
If the opportunity to smash ever arouse, I wouldn't say no.
I just transferred to MCC from a University and Professor Femminineo was one of the first classes I took here, while he is lecture heavy, my experience in this class has been nothing short of amazing. He is a great professor and is very knowledgeable about his subject matter.
My experience in this class has been very interesting. he has been super understanding regarding my difficulties with work and school. thankful to have had a professor who cares about not only the work but the students.
Fair grader, gives multiple opportunities for extra credit Grading is straight forward and made clear, Also nice
Very strong use of history in politics to explain how it goes. Has a good understanding and uses it to give even better lectures. He knows how it works and likes to use it to his advantage.
Great, nonpartisan professor, especially for today's political climate. Gives lots of extra credit, has a great sense of humor, is really easy to reach outside of class, let's you out 45-60 min early, really knowledgeable about local politics, and isn't harsh on attendance or punctuality. Would definitely recommend for other students.
Really chill guy who gives cool lectures, always has lots of extra credit opportunities. Make sure you study for the tests and come to class or you won't be happy with your grade. Never gives homework.
One of the best professors I have ever had, has amazing lectures.
He is easily my favorite teacher that I have had for a government class high school or college. His lectures are very entertaining and I look forward to hearing him lecture. You have to read and take your own notes even though he gives you your own set of notes. You should be able to pass this class as long as you are focused
Very good lectures. Exams are what his reviews are like. Loves his essays though so be prepared to write.
Does not give study guides for tests that are extremely elaborate. Plus side is he offers plenty extra credit
He is an amazing professor. Friendly, gives good feedback.
Keeps the class upbeat and lively with some political jokes. He's an entertaining teacher with a sense of humor. Yes, they do exist. Great class great teacher.
This was a great class. The professor is very nice and his lectures are interesting. The test are hard so you will need to study.)The professor is very understanding.
Super cool professor! Class is fun and easy as long as you STUDY!! He gets you to understand what's really going on and has a great teaching style! Plus he always dresses nice so that's a plus! Haha
Super awesome professor loves his job! And wants you to love learning! Studying is a must if you don't you won't pass. That simple!!!
Good teacher just a very hard class if you're not into politics.
Giving really great lectures he really knows how to keep the class interested. Great professor never a boring class
Great teacher. interesting lectures and life stories and it all relates to the class.
Hes a really great professor. Gives a ton of extra credit. You need to show up to class to pass, but its worth it to go to his classes.
Very loud, but energetic.
Good teacher just kind of hard to follow on lectures and if he made study guides it would help a ton other then that a good teacher
Great teacher! Hes so funny and his lectures are so detailed. Easy to follow along and understand the class even if you dont understand politics at all youll leave this class knowing a ton more than you did in the beginning!
Clear in the first day handout of what is required. Can be difficult material if you do not study for the tests.
Honestly, the first day of class i was a little afraid of this professor. He seemed strict and said he wouldnt spoon feed us. But as long as you show up for class and pay attention you can pass! Lectures he makes relatable and sometimes funny and plays videos the begging of class. He also gives you a ton of extra credit opportunities so do them!
Overall amazing professor. I would recommend him to anyone who's willing to show up and engage in class conversations. No homework is given so the class is very test heavy. Studying is key to passing the exams. Do not skip class and pay attention and anyone can pass with flying colors.
good professor, easy to understand. clear expectations. tons of extra credit opportunities.
Really great professor. Doesnt give homework! You need the textbook. 4 exams and tons of extra credit. I didnt know anything about politics and Ive learned a lot. He makes things understandable. Very funny and makes time fly by. You must go to class because you are tested on what he tells you. If you study you will do well. Take him!!!
Amazing teacher ! Makes politics interesting even if you dont like nothing about politics . There is no homework and he give TONS of extra credit opportunities. He is also pretty funny when lecturing and makes the time go by fast . There are only 4 test and no quizzes . Just show up and take notes . Youll love him !!
I thought this was going to be a very difficult class and I thought he was going to be very strict but after him opening up he actually makes the class very entertaining and very easy to learn! Gives lots of extra credit opportunities, will tell you he won't spoon feed you but he will give you everything you need to learn for the tests! NO HW!
Government usually isn't my thing, but his lectures kept you interested and his explanations made things much more understandable! He gives really good and thorough examples for most everything, making the material easier to comprehend. Be sure to attend class because he gives you actual test questions prior to all the exams! Really funny guy!
Great Professer!!!
Very Bubbly Noce to be around. and Very Alert in the Morning!
Good Professor, makes class enjoyable.
Great experience.
Professor Femminineo is very passionate about what he does. Always enthusiastic about the subject even when the class is quiet. Actually made politics more interesting.
Extra credit opportunities was solid.
Professor is an excellent lecturer. He coveys the material in a way that it is easily applied to practical life.
He is one of the great prof in macomb. He explains everything in a really easy way and also relate everything with current situations which makes this class interesting. He gives so many extra credit opportunities and the best thing about extra credit is u don't have to write research papers but someting more interesting.
Full of energy and posses a very enthusiastic way of teaching even if it's early in the morning. He is a gem to the school and is easily one of the best professor around. Some lectures comes from real life experiences that relates to the course material. Funny guy, his interesting lectures makes me laugh all the time! Professor of the year!
He is kind and super nice which is very pleasant at 8am and a nice change of pace from professors who think theyre so important. Its like he understands that student have lives too. Good guy
Femminineo is one of the best professors I've ever had, I'm not into politics but he always explained topics in unbiased way that was easy to understand (he's very easy to approach if you have a question too) also he is really funny. As long as you show up, pay attention and look over your notes you will do well.
He made this class difficult to understand
Great teacher, wish he had more classes.
I enjoyed having him as a teacher because he was funny and made things relatable . Youre gunna wanna show up to class to understand whats actually going on. He doesnt have power points for his lectures so you have to really pay attention and make your own notes. No homework just extra credit.
Professor Femminineo has an interesting class, and any questions you have in or out of class he will answer.
A charismatic and fun teacher with a lot to offer. May not be the most unbiased when it comes to politics, I mean he plays FOX News during class time, but if you don't mind that then he has a lot to offer. He is also very open to criticism and open conversation. Which is something I admire.
Mr Femminineo is a great professor, puts everything in a way you can understand and very helpful. Easy to get in contact with in and outside of school hours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Best professor at Macomb Community College
he is very passionate about his lecture. one of the best professors at MCC. He also gives a ton of extra credits opportunities. Take him for sure
Prof. Femminineo is honestly an amazing professor. The material is hard but if you put the work in you will do great. really good class for a short summer class The class is only graded on 6 exams (seems scary but it's a good thing) and multiple opportunities for extra credit. Would download Quizlet as a study aid if you're taking this class.
Professor is really great, he is also funny an makes the class fun to be in, he does require that you come to class and try and actively participate in class, and gives great examples of everything that he discusses , i would recommend taking him as a teacher!.
Hes a great professor and is very straight forward. I enjoy being in class and learning about politics from him.
Awesome professor, he wants all of his students to pass and is always there if you need any help or have any questions. I enjoy his class because he makes it fun. Highly recommend for a politics class!
Great Professor. Helpful, funny, and encouraging. Lectures are easy to follow and there is no homework. Lots of extra credit opportunities as well.
I dont like Politic classes but he made it interesting and i got to learn a lot.
Awesome professor. His lectures are fun and easy to follow. Lots of extra credit too!
I absolutely LOVED this class. Teacher is super cool, and you can tell he loves his job. I learned so much from this class. By far one of my favorites!! My suggestion is to show up, and do the extra credit..
Professor Femmineo is one of the most amazing professors at Macomb Community College. He is so knowledgeable! He honestly wants you to learn and take in the information he provides. He assigns a great amount of extra credit, I SUGGEST YOU DO IT ALL. The class is tough, but I recommend you take this class and work hard. He is so funny& a hottie! :)
Prof. Femminineo is a really good professor. I have him for POLS1000. He is very funny and high energy. He offers a lot of extra credit. If you need to contact him, you can text him and he gets back to you very quick. You want to show up for class, because the lectures are a big part of the test. I would take this class again.
This professor give pretty hard tests but if you study hard and know what he is looking for you will do fine.
Its a really good idea to go to class. Although not mandatory, the exams are based mostly on what he talked about in class. There are also many extra credit opportunities.
Very good teacher, lots of extra credit, funny and he cares about you. I wound definitely take him for politics.
As long as you show up to class and pay attention you will do well! He also keeps class interesting.
This has been my favorite instructor/teacher i have had ever, his lectures were interesting and he told you exactly what to expect if you plan on passing the class.
Lots of lectures, make sure you pay attention and take good notes or you wont pass! Overall though good class. I learned a lot.
Professor was very interesting. Class was always a laugh but grading critera was sometimes unclear.
One of my favorite professors that Ive had. The class is pretty straight forward, come in and pay attention to the lectures and study for the tests. Did not receive any homework or even in class work unless it was extra credit. Grade is determined on participation and tests, which he will give a curve depending on the class grades.
Professor Femminineo was great all around! He had great lectures that kept you engaged unlike other classes. He likes helping his students and as a result he is easily accessible and allows for many extra credit opportunities. Would definitely recommend to anyone taking this class.
Honestly one of the best courses i have taken so far in all my life, i genuinely looked forward to coming to class every single week. His lectures are very interesting to hear and you will not want to fall asleep. The material itself is not hard as long as you pay attention in this class. 10/10 i would take this prof again & recommend it.
He's a really nice guy in general and is pretty understanding. Most of the material on the tests he covers in his lectures and gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Also no homework most of the time just lectures and tests so it's not hard. Makes it bearable to come to and is very good at communicating back and forth. Highly recommend.
There are many tests rather than short practice quizzes which would help your grade
Had to learn based off of what he said during the lecture and had absolutely no homework or assignments to reflect on.
Professor Femminineos class is very easy if you put the work in. He also offers a bunch of extra credit which you should take advantage of. Overall great teacher and lectures!
Great guy
The Exams are really hard
He is a good and nice. He gives a lot of extra credit! Cares about his students and helps a lot!!
Great teacher. Easygoing guy, very sarcastic.
Exams are easy for the most part, the essay portions require a bit more. He references the book and says to read it, you'll probably want it for reference but as long you pay attention in class you probably won't have to read it. He's super entertaining to listen to. He also gives a lot of extra credit for watching movies and writing about them.
Class is easy. There's a lot of extra credit opportunities which really helps by the end of the semester. Exams are easy, and clear if you study well and write notes, In addition Mr. Femminineo does a review before every exam. Finally, Prof Femminineo is really cool and hilarious so you will not fall asleep during lectures. ^_^
For one of my first college classes this was a amazing teacher to have hes very funny while speaking and makes learning fun Ive learned a lot about this subject although the tests in this class can be extremely challenging but if you listen to him and go over the book you can get a very good grade in this class i recommend this professor
Very well organized, knows how to keep the class going and not lose focus, very specific on how the criteria should be met
Teaching is clearly much more than just a job to him; he really cares about his students. He gives detailed, engaging lectures full of real-world examples that make the content digestible. There is no homework but he gives lots of study resources for the tests. Overall, he's a great professor.
great professor you will not regret it at all
Fun teacher, never boring.
Very interesting professor to say the least. He definitely knows the material he teaches very well, which is why he is a good choice. Some cons, though, are that he sometimes expects you to have prior knowledge of the class, which is something I did not have through out his POLS class.
Attendance is important, He does not hand out homework but he is good with giving his students extra credit.
No homework in the class but attendance and note taking is very important! Listen to what he says and study the material and you will do fine! Also a great professor who genuinely cares about your performance in class. Would recommend taking!
He likes to be satire with the class to be funny so the class pays attention. The grades are heavily exam based, and extra credit can be earned if it is done and if the student works for the grade in the class. The class is heavily composed of lectures and work outside of the class IS required to get a decent grade. Debates are posted on canvas.
Great professor. As long as you pay attention, show up for lectures, and study, there should be no reason you dont like this class or professor.
Pretty good professor. He knows what he's teaching and he tends to make his lectures fun.
Just pay attention and do what he says, very simple as long as you are not skipping class every class, he is understanding and will help you if you miss a day. overall good teacher
A very well respected man and gives a pretty clear grading criteria right off the bat. His class is pretty lecture heavy but if you pay attention to the handouts, textbook, and lectures then you'll be fine. He's a fair grader but doesn't hand out any homework so you really need to study for the tests.
Mr. Femminineo is a very responsible, straight forward professor. The lectures were interesting to sit through and he really explains the material thoroughly. He lets you know exactly whats going to be on the tests which gives you no excuse to do poorly. Overall he's a funny, charismatic guy and makes for an exceptional professor.
I have this class as an 8 am and honestly, it's one of the best classes I've ever taken at Macomb Community College. He doesn't give out any homework and we're only graded on tests but there are a ton of extra credit opportunities. He gives us very good feedback and it's just a fun class overall. I would definitely take this class again.
He does a great job when it comes to lectures. The test can be a bit difficult but as long as you read and study you should be in the clear. I enjoyed this class myself and would recommend him.
This professor made class fun and interesting and I would definitely take husbands class again. He gives a lot of extra credit, and isnt very homework heavy. He also reviews before the test so you know what to study for, and I highly recommended you take his class if you get the chance!
He gave lots of extra credit and made lectures fun and interesting! This class is definitely one of my top 5 Ive taken at Macomb and I would 100% take his class again. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is taking POLS 1000!
He offers a lot of extra credits and goes over what will be on the test.
His political science course is pretty good. Funny sometimes. Could use less FOX news at the beginning of classes. More variety of sources would be great. As long as you know the content, its an easy pass. Lots of extra credit is given.
he is an amazing professor I loved going to his class I enjoyed these leechers he would always stay on topic he is funny and nice and caring make sure everybody understand what he is talking he answer the questions he gives extra credit also he review the study guide for the exams I learned so much form his class he motivates people an amazing pe
Though being there is optional I encourage y'all to go. This guy is a great teacher and he has a very great way of explaining things but I think open discussion is important. It's politics so everyone has differing views but that doesnt mean it isnt a safe place to speak. He's overall open minded and I think interacting will help with understanding
The professor was good at teaching what he was supposed to teach
Relates course information to real life, doesn't use smart board for lectures, keeps you engaged, not very boring, does a awesome job at preparing you for each exam
He is a very good professor. I like his class a lot. His lecturers are very engaging never boring. He gives a lot of extra credit assignment. His political science and everyone has their own opinion and he always is neutral. I would recommend it to any one taking political science.
I really disliked politics before this course, only took it for the credit. Ended up being one of my favorite classes ever. I couldnt wait to go every time. Learned a lot, but just enjoyed the lectures more than anything. Professor Femminineo is an awesome dude.
He makes it super easy because he gives examples of the real, day to day world. When I would email him, he would answer quickly. You need to come to class though or else you will be lost. Super nice, hilarious, caring. His class is only based on participation & 4 tests including the final. You need to work hard. Extra credit available. Lots of it.
He is an amazing and very nice professor. He gives a lot of extra credits, which is very helpful. His lectures are clear and easy. I enjoyed this class and would recommend him.
Professor Femminineo is one of my favorite professors I have had. He keeps his lectures exciting and straight to the point. His real life experience definitely helps students understand the material better. He gives a good amount of extra credit and is very accessible outside of class. Would highly recommend!!!
Very interesting class and great professor. He makes it very clear that you can always reach out to him if you have any questions or concerns. Would recommend this class
Professor Femminineo is one of my favorite professors Ive had at Macomb. He is very passionate about what he teaches, and he makes class entertaining. I would recommend him to anyone.
Professor Jacob Femminieo Jr is one of the best professors of your interested in political science as he's really laid back and his lectures are not going to make you fall asleep
very small amounts of homework, but easy lectures related to the real world, with videos shown almost every class, so every test should be a simple one to take. he is understanding and gives extra credit opportunities as well.
Professor Femminineo was a joy to have I really enjoyed his lectures. By studying his study guides and the chapter terms in the book the class wasn't a struggle to pass. His lectures were funny and informative and I leave his class knowing at least a semesters worth of info I hadn't known before -and I'm certainly now more argumentative at parties.
Very good teacher, lots of extra credit. Knows what hes taking about and Is happy to answer questions given by students.
Hes very passionate about the topic at hand and is knowledgeable. Fair grader and offers help when ever. Extremely loud!
He is awesome. Really entertaining. His test are hard but he sets you up with everything you need so if you study its not hard to get an A. He is funny and actually cares if you're learning or not. Don't need the book if you take notes and look at his power points he puts on canvas.
The class was very enjoyable for me and wasn't as boring as I assumed it would be because of a previous POLS teacher I had. The lectures were interesting and lively with humor in them. The class is very test heavy and make up pretty much your whole grade. However, there are plenty of extra credit opportunities in the class to boost your grade.
Great professor, knows the material very well, answers questions, open to hear feedback from the class, grades fairly, offers some extra credit. i would definitely take this professor again
Awesome Professor and takes Pride in educating you. Likes to ensure you have learned something. Gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit to make up any shortfalls during the class. Very accessible for questions a outside of class. Makes you earn your grade and you will be better for it. One of the better professors!
Hes the best professor Ive ever had. He cares about his students and is always offering extra credit.I would take him as a professor again.
Teacher is nice, nothing to difficult but you should still read the textbook to have a better understanding of what is being discussed.
Honestly one of the best teachers I've had. He really get's into the material and makes it fun to learn. I never felt uncomfortable to ask him questions after class or shoot him a text. As long as you pay attention to what he says then you will do fine on the tests. 10/10 guy
Hes willing to work with you to help you get a better grade. I learned quite a lot about politics in his class. Overall hes a great professor and I would take him as a professor again.
Show up and listen and you will be fine.
Show up and listen and take notes you will be fine.
for the semester being online, which it was not supposed to be, he adapted well and was easily accessible outside of the class hours. A lot of extra credit. Quiz/graded discussion every week. He is very laid back but also expects u to know ur stuff which is respectable. Tests were wordy & if u dont understand the concept it is hard. very cool teach
Great semester. Know your stuff. Great amount of extra credit given out. Offers help and assistance throughout the semester. Grades right. Good class/teacher to learn something new.
Great Professor. Easy class if you pay attention. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
He's really awesome. I think he's a great teacher honestly and what he goes over is quite interesting. I enjoy being in his classes even while they were online. 10/10 and would recommend tbh.
This class worked well with my work schedule and was not a whole lot of reading/ work. You just need to manage your time well. He is very understanding and funny and his lectures really aren't that boring he just gets off topic a lot.
I wanted to take this class and thought it would be fun during a general election. Professor F. did not disappoint! He was funny and insightful. Although covid made us use zoom in lieu of class, it was still fun.
This guy was very cool and laid back. Attendance is not mandatory. Honestly, his lectures were quite entertaining and worth coming to class for. Theres quizzes, extra credit, lectures, and midterm. He does provide you with the information you need to prepare for the midterm. Show up to class and do the extra credit, youll pass with flying colors!
Honestly the most chill professor I've had so far. The online class periods weren't mandatory (but were usually pretty interesting anyways) and the classwork was relatively easy. A lot of times the lectures didn't focus on the topics you would need to know for that weeks assignments, but just read the powerpoints/textbook and you'll be fine!
Unfortunately due to covid 19 the class was converted to online. Mr. Jacob kept our lecture entertaining my giving us real life example. He is very knowledgeable and passionate. He was kind enough to give us several opportunity for extra credit. He is understanding if there was valid reason for missing test/quizzes/missing lecture he will work with
Professor, Femmininio was a great professor! His lectures were packed with all the information you needed to be successful in this course. He had a lot of extra credit opportunities. He was always able to answer any questions you have and responded very quickly. Overall, a great professor, and I would most definitely take another class from him.
Hello I was a first time college student walking into his class, and at first I was quite nervous about taking a politics class because I have never been a huge fan of politics. Over time he opened my eyes he brought the world of politics alive and at the end of the day I really enoyed his class and what he had to say.
He is truly an amazing professor that everyone should take. He also care about his student succeeding in his class. You wont regret taking him.
He is very caring and willing to help if you just ask. Gives you a syllabus in the beginning so you know what to expect. Overall a great professor :)
We are only a few days away from the end of the semester, and I could not be happier I took this class with Professor Femminineo. He is such a nice person and he cares a lot about his students. He has a full time job being a Judge, so having him teach this class when he comes home from his full-time job says a lot. TAKE POLS WITH HIM!!!! 20/10
Professor Femminineo consistently gave interesting lectures. This is particularly noteworthy as the class was online due to COVID-19. He was easy to access & maintained a classroom environment, even over zoom. Its obvious he is very knowledgable about the subject & never made the class feel like our questions/ political views were stupid.
Professor Femminineo was overall great throughout the semester. The lectures were super helpful for the quizzes, he went in detail about everything, and the work load of the class was very manageable. If I had any issues at all it would be the lack of a study guide during the midterm and final but this is a rather minor issue.
Attending the class over zoom is very helpful and he always tells us when he is available to talk outside of class. Politics has never been my strong suit but I was able to pass this class by attending mostly every class and doing the assignments on time.
He explained the content well, he seemed really laid back and cool. he added interesting topics and videos
I absolutely loved this professor, his lectures were always fun and very informative, always gave clear direction on what was expected and the tests were right from the lectures of the chapters he gave that day in class. I would take again if I had to!
Best in-person professor I have ever had. Quizzes are simple and not set up to confuse you. Discussions are interesting and make you want to do the assignment, a lot of them are opinionated. Hes a delight, hes funny and makes the class interesting. 100% recommend.
I thought of this professor to be very enthusiastic and entertaining for a four hour class. This professor was caring for students by providing many ways to get extra credit when needed. I found this class to be helpful and an easy grade. Take this professor if possible, you will not regret it.
Professor Femminineo was a pleasure to have as a professor. His class is not an easy one, but he makes it very interesting. Being a political class, he plays the fence very well.
This class was by far one of my favorites taken at Macomb all because of the professor. All lectures were amazing and fun, you got to speak your mind. All discussions were fun to discuss, he's not overwhelming at all with assignments or tests. You don't want his lectures to stop from how fun and informative the lectures are. I recommend this Prof.
Expect to ask some questions to Mr.F. he knows what he is talking about, and how to teach it in a proper way.
Really great professor, one of the best I've had I definitely recommend! He makes the class interesting and is very helpful if you need it.Theres also lots of extra credit opportunities. Would prefer a study guide but its a easy class if you listen. Wish he taught more subjects so I could take him again
This class was incredibly easy if you listen to the lectures, where you would learn everything needed for the quizzes from them. Extra credit is available and fun. I wish the class examined more sources for news and current events than largely looking at the same show.
He was such a good professor this was my first college course I took. So, it was very encouraging to have a good professor who actually cared and wanted you to pass the class. Very nice guy 10/10
Judge Femminineo is an effective instructor and is unbiased with his delivery which is important in this type of class. Great Great Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
