He is the G.o.a.t, i loved his class everyone in my class loved this class and you will if you take it.

Professor Cassese really cares about his students. 3 hr night class and we never stayed longer than an hour. No exams, only online work (answers on quizlet) a few short papers and 3 speeches. He wants you to learn something from this class. I hate public speaking but this was g one of my favorite classes. He's hilarious. Takes forever to grade tho

Mr.C was so great! He does not assign work for the sake of it, and truly cares about adding value to us as professionals. He knows a LOT of people and is willing to help you network and meet professionals in your industry. That being said, there are not a lot of assignments, only a handful mostly oral presentations so make sure to do a good job.

I had a lot of anxiety but he is a great teacher and offers you a more relaxed environment to shed the fears of public speaking and see what you can truly do. Extremely nice. Speeches are better for learning the material than tests any day and he utilizes that. If you do above minimum (if even slightly) then you will succeed in this course.

He is probably the best professor I've ever had. He clearly describes what is expected and won't waste your time. He creates an environment where you don't feel judged and it is much easier to speak in front of the class.

Professor Cassese is honestly the best professor to take for COMM 2105. His class is so easy all you have to do is like 4 group presentations. It is impossible not to get an A in his class. Attendance for the groups presentations are mandatory.

A terifiic professor who cares deeply about his students. Brings a real world perspective and did more to prepare me than any other class or any other professor. Everything in class is done for a reason and he ties it all together. I enjoyed every minute of class. I really learned

John is a great teacher. He wants everyone to do well and is more concerned with preparing you for the real world than tests and quizzes (which he doesn't have). You do a couple of oral presentations and some writing assignments and that's the class. As long as you put in a little effort you will get an easy A. Gives lots of extra credit too.

This was a group comm class. He is an amazing prof. He is the type to not like grades, but instead want to teach you professionalism. He also lets you leave early a lot and doesn't make you take notes, and all your grade is is on presentations. It great. He helps you out on your real life stuff too. A truly great prof!

Dont be fooled by the seemly easy comments. This professor makes you work and learn. He is no nonsense and demands you act think and be professional. He treats the class like a job so you better show up and be ready to participate. And dont even think about being late or missing assignments. Bottom line, you will learn in his class

I will get to the point, I learned more from Prof Cassese than I would have thought. He knows what is going on in the biz world and shares his knowledge. He is funny, smart and wants you to succeed. It is the best class I have taken at Unc. If you can take him for a class, do it.

I have really learned in this class. We had great assignments that helped me better understand how to position myself in the business. I dont think a professor has motivated me the way Professor Cassese has. He is the G.O.A.T.

Professor Cassese is great! This class is the most real class I have ever taken. Yes, he focuses on presentations but by the end, you won't be as nervous. You learn a lot and he grades you on effort. He has a lot of experience in Business and is willing to answer any questions you have. (P.S. I hated public speaking but the class was worth it)

Business COMM was the only class I looked forward to this semester. Prof. Cassese was great. He knows so much real world information. And, I became a better speaker. And I hate speaking in public. This was the best class I have taken at Uncc.

Professor Cassese is by far the best Professor I have had here at UNCC. He has prepared every student so well for the professional world, and he makes it FUN. Do everything you can to take him!!!!

This guy is a legend. He really helped me so much outside my class and really cares for his students. He makes an effort to give his students wisdom that will actually apply to the real world.

The best. Honestly, the best professor i have had at Uncc. I learned so much and he made it interesting and fun. I looked forward to his class every week. Do not miss the opportunity to have him as your professor. You will learn so much from him.

Prof. Cassese is undoubtedly one of the best professors that I've had in my four years at UNCC. He is extremely knowledgeable and sincerely cares for his students. This class may be nerve-wracking because it focuses heavily on presentations, but you will learn a ton that you can use in the real world. If you have to take BCOMM, pick John Cassese.

I learned more from this professor than any other in my 4 years at UNCC. Cant say enough good things about him and his style of teaching Smart, funny and generous with his knowledge. He is the professor by which all others should be judged.

Professor Cassese was the BEST college professor I have ever had. He made sure that we took away more from the class then just taking test and quizzes. He prepared us for the real world and truly cares about your success. Definitely take his class is you get the chance too. Also attendance is not mandatory but it only hurts you to not go.

John Cassese is the best professor I have had at UNCC. He is a great speaker and really helps you to become a business professional. There are not tests or exams. Assignments are mostly presentations. His class is fairly easy and he really does try to help you if you have trouble with public speaking.

John is, by far, the best communications instructor I've ever had! His class is designed to assist you in real-world scenarios and how to communicate both professionally and effectively. He will not waste your time with busy work! Thank you, John, for all of your efforts into making this the best communications class on UNCC's campus!

I wish I had NOT taken this class during the summer. Why? Because I did not want it to end. I wish the semester was longer. Thats how great this class was and that is how outstanding Prof. Cassese is. He is inspiration, smart and is committed to your success. I learned so much. This is the professor you want to have for BComm.

Go to class, participate, practice your presentation before class and you will pass. Super cool professor but also hard. Take his class seriously and you will be fine.

The professor fully prepared students for the business world. He prepared us for interviews, career fairs, and interactions with business professionals. He showed how he valued class time and our time as he never wasted class time. As long as the student puts in the work for this course he or she will succeed and benefit from this course.

Fantastic professor. Going into the course I was not very confident with my presentation and public speaking abilities and by the end I felt super confident. Cassese gives great feedback and helpful tips for going into the business world. The course consists of 3 presentations and a paper. No busy work. ALSO, Friday classes don't meet.

An awsome professor, would definitely recommend! He is all about not giving busy work or wasting your time. He wants to focus on skills that you will actually need and use when you get a job. To do well in this class, pay attention to the grading rubrics. You will never fall asleep in this class! The best part: NO EXAMS!

HE IS THE BEST PUBLIC SPEAKING TEACHER. PERIOD. but seriously, if you want a good time and you know that you will be able to attend classes, TAKE HIM!!!! HILARIOUS and so so caring. 15/10 would recommend!

The best business/communication professor I have had an UNCC. He really helped me with my speaking skills. But even more, I feel better prepared for the real world. Mr. Cassese helped me and all of us with the skills that we need to find our right career path. I wish he taught more courses in the business school. I would for sure take him again

One of the best professors you could have. He prioritizes information that will help students succeed in the business world rather than loading us with useless work. After following his advice on how to structure my LinkedIn profile, I was actually being headhunted for my first job, which is very rare!

The best experience from what has to be one of the best professors at UNCC. Mr. Cassese focuses on the real world and gives you the tools you need to be successful. Every assignment has a reason. No mindless busy work. He takes you out of your comfort zone, but in a good way. He is the only one to take for BComm

It was a great, interactive class where we could communicate at a level with our peers and our instructor and also provided an environment conducive to learning and developing confidence. It was unfortunate that we were not able to finish out in the classroom but Mr. Cassese still came up with great assignments to address learning goals.

Mr. Cassese's class is wonderful in the fact that it addresses so many real world experiences that students will encounter in their future and career especially in the Comm Studies field. Topics were appropriate and the instruction was interactive. Students felt at ease in his class and we all develop confidence especially in impromptu speaking .

Dr. Cassese has to be the most amazing professor that UNCC has ever employed. During class, we had assignments that helped us prepare for interviews, helped us with improve speechs, and improve our LinkedIn profiles. Because of our LinkedIn assignment I have had employers contacting me everyday.

Dr. Cassese was the fact that he was very blunt and honest with us as business professional( Not STUDENTS). I also loved the fact that looked at us as Business Professionals and not students. He's the first professor I have ever meet that actually cared about giving us the skill we needed to be in the work force. I can go on for days.

The most applicable to real-life work course you can take at UNCC. He absolutely crushed it and I genuinely learned a fair bit about using PowerPoint and such. Lots of work to be prepared for your presentations, but it was easy to do for such a nice teacher. Make sure you choose a good company for your reports because it makes things a lot easier.

I loved this class! Prof. Cassese provides great feedback on all assignments. His techniques on how to frame your resume and how to present yourself are spot on. Using his techniques, I scored an interview & was offered a position for an internship that I'd been wanting! Give him a try; he's truly a caring and honest professor.

Wow. Best experience ever. He cares about helping you succeed not just as a student but as a professional. You learn the practical things like elevator speech, interviewing, memos, etc. No busy work. Every assignment counts & can be used to further your career! Asynchronous, but posted videos & I enjoyed every time he reached out bc he is so kind!!

I had a great experience in Professor Cassese's class. Never have I had a professor who cared so much about his students success. This is a no nonsense real world class. No tests- but presentations and critical papers aimed at your professional growth. Thanks to this class I got an internship What more could you ask for?

This Professor should be what all other professors should strive to be. From the first day I was excited. I learned so much- not least if which was how to present myself and turn my experience into what a potential employee wants to know in order to hire me. This is the Professor to take for BComm. No one else comes close.

We are only a few weeks into the semester, I can tell that Dr. Cassese is unlike any professor I have ever had. His focus is on the students and helping us learn to become the best business professionals we can be. With just a few assignments I feel as if I am becoming better prepared for finding an internship and then a job.Thank you, Dr.Cassese

If you do the work and follow directions, you will not only do well but also get a good grade; you will get interviews and job offers. That's what happened to me. I listened to him, used the information and skills he gave us, and made it work.

Dr. Cassese might be tough, but if you need help, all you need to do is reach out. I spoke with him on the phone-What professor does that"" several times and he was more than willing to help me. Everything in his class is geared toward preparing you for the real world. Its been valuable.

Thanks to what I am learning in this class, I landed a great internship at BOA. In my interview, I drew on many of the topics we had in class. The best tool is the elevator speech which I used and gave me a big plus in my interview. This prof knows what he is talking about.

This professor lays everything on the line and tells you what he is looking for. We got examples of assignments so we knew what to do. He shares real-world information geared to help you succeed. Thanks to this class I got two job offers.

What I liked best and appreciated most is that there was no wasted useless assignment. Everything was assigned for a reason and built on each other. Thanks to this class I helped define my brand and what skills I had to offer. I feel ready to hit the job market and succeed. You will too.

Cassese really cares about letting us focus on our topics/careers of interests. About 4-5 presentations, a few discussion posts and 2 essays. No homework assignments or exams. Make sure to follow rubrics exactly or points will be taken off. He is strict but very clear with what he wants. He responds quickly to emails if addressed correctly.

Cassese was very helpful and cares about his students. His TA made him look bad since he was unable to be in person this past semester. As long as you followed the directions for each assignment, you could easily get an A on all assignments. Really enjoyed how this class directly helped us for our future after college.

Responds to emails within 5 minutes. Please send him your essays before submitting so he can get feedback. Careful not to turn in assignment late or miss anything on rubric or else automatic 0. :( but otherwise and easy class and it does help you with public speaking. There is also extra credit.

This was a slightly challenging course. There were no tests or quizzes; we had 3 presentations,1 paper, and 5 DBS. Extra Credit is offered if you attend the Niblock Center or sometimes if you attend class on a low attendance day. Follow the instructions for assignments very carefully to get the best grade possible. Ta grades most assignments.

It obvious that this professor cares about giving the best knowledge to his students. His class will definitely provide valuable information that you will actually apply in your career. Great class. Loved listening to his lectures. I will say, you will definitely get out of your comfort zone in his class. But, you will grow as a student.

Let me cut to the chase. You can believe or not believe the reviews. Because of what I leave from this professor I got interviews and a job offer. This guy knows what the heck he is doing. You won't regret taking his class.

Professor Cassese is great. He is one of the only professors I have ever had that actually taught me valuable lessons. This class is perfect for preparing for interviews for jobs. Teaches you so much about what to do to ensure you get the job. His TA's do suck, careless grading and never have an actual reason for the grades they give.

This professor wants nothing more than for you to succeed. He is passionate, gives great lectures, and will teach skills that stay with you for the rest of your life. He can be picky about some things on assignments, but you will learn that it is all for a reason. There are no tests, and he loves learning above all else. This is a must-take course.

I'm a be honest I didn't like him at first. Halfway through the semester, just doing the Q&A scenarios really made me change my mind about him. He has the most exceptional connections & I'd come to his guest speeches if you care about learning about the world outside of college.

Professor Cassesse was absolutely amazing, and taught me more than anytbing my other business classes have. His class is definitely more difficult than some other bcomm classes, but that's because he puts the pressure on you in class, so it's not as stressful when you publicly speak or pitch yourself in the real world.

Very genuine guy. My main issues were with the course itself, as it is presentation-heavy. He provides clarity in-lecture for the various projects throughout the semester. You present in smaller groups for the assigned TA. Very nerve-racking but helps you learn more about yourself as a business professional. No tests & offers extra credit!

Professor Cassese runs a tight ship, but engaging with his methods pays off. The lectures are solid, and using Unstuckstudy along with the free textbook helped me prep effectively for assignments. Attendance is a must, but the workload is manageable.

Excellent professor. The best course I've taken at UNC Charlotte thus far and possibly the best professor. He is no nonsense, but if you actually go to lectures and engage with the class, you will get so much out of it. He is a tough grader, but I think that just reflects the standards of the business world, so I can't have too many complaints.

Can confidently say no other prof will prepare you more for the real world than him. He is a tough grader and will grill you if you mess up your presentations. Presentations are actually relevant to your professional career. He is a tough grader, but that is the point. Real world isn't supposed to be easy, and he prepares you for it.

I love Professor Cassese!!! He is actually the best professor I ever had. His Business Comm major students, DONT READ their rates too deeply. I got on here and saw like a 2.8/5 and I cannot believe that it is that low. I would take Prof. Cassese for every class if I could. NO textbooks and NO exams, and he cares for you as a person!! Love him down!

I am reading some of these reviews and don't agree. He is a great professor that just expects you to come to class. You have 2 free missed classes and only have lab when there is something to present. i feel like his lectures are actually informative and helpful for your career. there are rubrics for everything in the modules on canvas.

It was a great class. I enjoyed the lectures and found them to be extremely easy. There are no quizzes or a final. He doesn't use a textbook either! This course is heavily graded on presentations. If you don't like presentations, don't take Professor Cassese. There are about 4 presentations that are required to be done along with discussion boards.

Professor Cassese's class was one of the best college courses I have ever taken. The skills you learn are very useful in the real-world. Grades are presentations and discussion boards (no test/quizzes). Grading criteria can be a little vague, but he is very willing to meet individually to help you understand the context of the assignments. 11/10!

John Cassese is an amazing professor in at UNC Charlotte. No tests or quizzes in this class. Lots of presentation and public speaking heavy. His lectures are inspirational if you actually pay attention and engaged. He is a very tough grader but he will help you succeed in the class if you reach out, ask questions and follow his direction.

This professor is amazing. Im an extremely shy person and this class is presentation and public speaking heavy and to be honest even if I didn't do that well the work on the class has actually helped me in real life situations. Yes public speaking is scary specially for shy people but I promise this professor is so inspiring and lowkey very funny.
