He is very helpful, funny, holds discussions about interesting topics, and there is constant feedback. His class is also very easy as long as you have some motivation; he allows you to revise your work for a better grade, there's extra credit, make up work if you were too busy to reach a deadline, and he is always willing to help you improve.

I took Dr. Suglia for ENG 101 HYB, and liked him so much I did for ENG 102. This class has, in my opinion, an average amount of work for any english class. He makes class as fun as it can be, he's very fair, clear, and respectful to students. Go to every class and show up on time! For END 101 he lets you revise any of your work for a higher grade.

He's pretty clear on what he wants: Attendence, participation (some but doesn't enforce it), and doing the work. Honestly, this class was a breeze and if you want to have a funny professor who sounds like Ted Mosby, he's the guy. No exams, just 3 basic easy breezy quizzes, and two papers. :) Took him for English 102 but I heard he does 101 as well.

He is a GREAT teacher... my favorite at Malcolm so far. Took his English 101 HYBRID Mini session Class, and it was a breeze ! I took him in my first semester in college. He always gives great feedback, gives extensions when needed, and gives people the opportunity to fix their papers and receive a better grade.

Dr. Suglia is cool but a little English heavy. A very "why are the curtains blue" kind of professor. Just do the work and revise what he tells you to and you'll get a high grade. I hate English and Dr. Suglia loves it. It was difficult to find the motivation to write 700 words "What Juliet knows about herself." TL;DR easy A, cool prof, dry class.

Dr. Suglia knows what he is doing since he's been a professor for so long, but it seems like he expects everyone else to write at the same standard that he does. He is very particular about grammar and will make you revise your paper over the littlest things. As long as you do your work and participate in the discussions you should be fine.

Suglia is very knowledgeable but he is so condescending. He helped me a lot by pointing out flaws in my writing but the way he corrects papers is excessive. He forces you to go to his website, where you have to read a paragraph on a single concept. And he is biased on his grading too. If he doesn't agree with you on a paper you will get a C max.

I had to withdrawal from the class. HUM201 He will not accept late assignments NO MATTER WHAT. And it was not my fault, BrightSpace fault. I ask to resubmit it 5 min after due time, NOPE. He will grade you on grammar and everything else, like ESL class. If you quote something not his way, you get zero. He wouldn't even record any meetings. BAD

Dr.Suglia is a wonderful teacher, and to say otherwise would be a poor use of judgment. He is upfront about what he expects and how the course will be, so saying that "He did not accept my late work" or "Participation is what got me a bad grade" would be the student's fault. He is also very responsive to emails and allows revisions.
