HE was very helpful and made sure everyone in the class passed if we bombed a midterm or final we could write a paper (just coping our notes) and as long as we turned it in we got full credit and bumped up our grade 20 points and you get an A for participation just by showing up to class!

I had Prof. D'Argenio for T2K. Very clear, helpful, and easy with requirements. Almost too nice. All lecture and note taking. Barely uses the board. Will ask you questions to get you involved in class. Read the book, take good notes, and you'll be fine. Hope to have him for a full semester class in the future. Take him if you have a choice.

T2K. Second class w/Mr.D'Argenio. Very clear with requirements. One of few instructors who took the time to give advice regarding teaching profession between his lectures. Learned a lot in both of his classes. Gives many opportunities to do well. If you don't get an "A" it's YOUR FAULT. Take good lecture notes, participate, scan the chapters.

Be prepared to take lots of notes quickly...he says it's because he doesn't get much sleep so his coffee keeps him hyper!!! The class I was in was a hybrid class so prof. D'argenio told us if he liked the class he would take the timer off the exams. So far he has done that for 2 exams

I really liked him. His lectures are very funny and engaging. My only word of advice is to make sure you're keeping up with the homework. He didn't set any due dates and we didn't quite finish the lectures, so it's better to be ahead on the homework so the last day doesn't sneak up on you.

Took US History 1 & 2 with him - both accelerated 5 week courses (summer and winter) - I love him. The only hard and fast due date is the last day of the semester, so you can truly go at your own pace. Each module is 1 quiz and 1 paper; about 2/week. No final or midterm; pdf version of the textbook easy to find for free online.

This is class is pretty easy. You have 10 online quizzes that all the answers are in his notes or the textbook. You have 2 Term Assignments that take a long time to do but he gives you a long time to complete them. My only complaint is he takes FOREVER to respond to emails. If you email him a question don't expect a reply for about a month.

I took 2 online history courses, he is great! But, I did not like the essay format of the assignments, it felt to much like English making it hard if you have not taken English yet. It makes more sense to focus on content instead of format. Have every student answer straightforward questions from each chapter instead of one, it would help testing.

Professor D'Argenio has a great structure for his class. Everything is due the very last day so it takes a lot of pressure off of students who have a lot of other responsibilities.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I have never had a more frustrating experience with a teacher. He doesn't grade anything until the day before assignments are due and doesn't answer emails.
