Great teacher!!! Highly recommended.
She can be a little goofy at times, but she knows her stuff. She's more than willing to help if you're unclear on something.
Excellent teacher...highly motivated.
Excellent, excellent professor.
very judgmental
An excellent professor who cares about her students.
Excellent professor!!! The best teacher I ever had!!!
A wonderful professor - very engaging. I enjoyed going to her class.
I just started this class this semester...and I've never enjoyed English more.
She is just great. very helpful and understanding. Her classes are fun
Her classes are fun, but during my semester I just learned her bio. After taking 40 hours at Triton and about 70 hours at UIC, including RTH 102 and business writing 200, I know that she gave me an unfair grade. She simply didn?t like me. Piscopo gave me a ?C? . . . still wondering how she decided on that grade. I never got a B; straight As and a
..and a C from Piscopo. I guess she can be proud of it. Overall her class was easy.
Great teacher! It`s RHT, not RTH... I understand why you got C from the class.
Not recommended, incredibly biased to foreigners.
I wouldn't recomend this teacher.I do my best and still receives C-(so most of the class).She doesn't teach enything besides her bio.always tells to bring her wine,or money and students do.She accepted 3wines during semester.Very unfair grader,doesn't like foreigners.She will correct every sentence in your essey.
If you are looking for a challenge this is the class. Ms. Piscopo is not bias. She conducts her class in a professional manner and treats everyone fair. In addition, she has no problem statying late to help her students with the assignments. Don't listen to the bad reviews. If you are willing to work hard, you will learn enormously.
All these comments are true.For some students she is very nice and fair, but for others she is not. It's up to you if you want to take a risk. She is not very good teacher. I know better ones,like for example Secco or Cucinotta. They indeed do care about their students and will give you good grades plus you will learn a lot with no risk.
Stay away at all cost. She should not be teaching at all. She has ruined my GPA and I didn't learn anything. She tells students her life story instead of teaching the material.
I think, Lee is a great teacher.This is not a class for someone who is looking for an easy grade. Lee makes students read and share their opinion. She is very funny, and she only jokes about wine. I am from another country and I haven't notice any bias against me.
Just started this class- she makes class interesting. Lee is demanding/expects alot from her students. I know I will be a better writer when I complete this class.
Easiness1 Helpfulness4 Clarity5 Very interesting - She is a hard grader.. BUT VERY FAIR!!! What you get in his class is what you really deserve, and she lets your know her expectations up front on the first day of class.
I really did enjoy Ms. Piscopo's class - a very fun teacher. I felt challenged and very stimulated by the class discussions.
Great teacher - lots of work and tough when grading, but you'll learn. Very considerate - often helps students before/after class.
To the angry student (LC) who posted on 8/06/10: You're just angry because you didn't pass the class, and you need someone to blame beside yourself. Grow up and take responsibility for your own actions. Ms. Piscopo is wonderful and extremely devoted to her students.
Kudos to 8/17...English is my second language. Ms Piscopo was very helpful.
8/17 I agree! Ms Piscopo was a great teacher!She made her expectations perfectly clear on the first day of class. She offered her assistance to ALL students on numerous occasions. If you really want to learn take her class. LC she expected hard work from EVERYONE.
I had Ms. Piscopo?s class [RHT101] back in 2009. Her teaching still sticks with me today. She was one of the better instructors I have had. She was enthusiastic about the subject matter. She gave a lot of work and expected her students to perform to the best of their ability, but you take classes to learn, right?
If you will to learn and pass the class, she will be there for you. If you want to pass only, I don't want to be in your skin. Her class is entertaining and educating at the same time. I miss her class and her teaching effort. Lee is the teacher of teachers because she teaches the way you will never forget!
Lee Piscopo is a unique teacher. The world would be better if we had more teachers like her.She is passionate about what she teaches. She dedicates a lot of time to correct every grammatical mistake in your paper, which I find amazing because is how you learn. She is not an easy teacher. She is hard because she wants you to learn.
Just started this class - Ms. Piscopo is wonderful. When I wasn't able to purchase my text book, she let me use an extra copy that she had. She responds quickly to emails and has helped me outside of the classroom. An excellent professor.
I have a new perspective about writing. I look forward to her class. Different teaching methods prevent bordom. She knows her students by name. Great attitude: she wants you to get it. She wants you to pass.
The things I like about the course is rhe way she makes learning english skills exciting. She connects with all her students to give better understanding.
Lee is very ethusiastic about teaching. She is one of the best if not the best professor I have encountered at Triton.
Ditto...an excellent teacher.
love her
Makes an english class fun and not dreadfully boring. Uses class dicussions to teach the class about the subject.
She is very passionate about her work. She is an excellent, enthusiastic instructor who really knows her stuff!!
The best professor ever!
Most memorable class I've had in all my college years...EXCELLENT instructor.
One of the best teachers I ever had, at Triton. I wish they are all like her. Disregard the comments about immigrants and enjoy her style. Do your work and you will be rewarded accordingly.
Great professor!! She offers all the help you need. if you didn't pass her class was because you didn't do your work or come to class. You learn A lot from her. we need more professors like her.
Lee is a very enthusiastic teacher who always helps students out with their papers. She genuinely cares about her students progress. She encourages students to see her before a paper is due for help. I've improved a lot in writing after taking her class.A teacer worth taking.
Just started my third class with this professor...and look forward to the challenges! She is EXCELLENT!
I love her teaching techniques. Peer evaluations, the circle, lectures and the sharing of information between classmates will make you an eager student.
An excellent professor. If you have an opportunity to take her class, you should.
The best professor I've had thus far at Triton.
Only the best teacher I've ever had....
Excellent instructor! If you have the opportunity, take her class.
Lee changed my life. She made me belive that i can do anything. She was honest, caring and devoted as a teacher. She was shoulder for me to cry on. She taught me how to dream. I am forever grateful.
Hey, 3/06, there is no class RHT098. You deserve the failing grade you received. I think she's one of the best instructors I've ever had.
VERY FAIR - Ms. Piscopo actually failed me last semester - It was my own fault. I didn't complete the assignments required. I took her class again this semester. She is the BEST instructor I've ever had. Take her class.
Love this professor!
One of the best, if not the best instructors I've had at Triton College.
I've been at Triton for 3 years and had many teachers; Lee remains my favorite.
Will not recommend her to my worst enemy. stay away from this lady, She is intelligent and a sociopath. She probably will have this comment deleted, so just BEWARE! You will not get the grade you earned, she will give you a grade.
She is way to talkative, and she doesn't really make much sense when words start bursting out of her mouth. She is very manipulative towards students. Not meant to a be a teacher.
Just looked at my grades. Don't even know why she bothers. Irresponsible grading, hurting students GPA. I shouldn't have took her class in the first place.
Hands down Worst English teacher. overloading with tons of senseless homework's. Explains nothing, just discusses the stories that we already read. Doesn't spend time on body of papers and gives depressing scores. She covers up the egoism saying that she has taken of points for everything. My blood boiled when she said that with great carelessness.
She's not an easy professor but is very FAIR. If you want to learn -instead of just passing- you should take her class.
She is an amazing instructor. Besides being incredibly intelligent and creative, she genuinely cares about her students. She is always willing to help. The amount of work given is reasonable for the course. If you are a college student who wants to learn and takes pride in your work, Ms. Piscopo is by far the best choice.
Best teacher I've had - a caring individual; she wants her students to succeed.
An excelent teacher - really cares about her students and goes above and beyond to help her students succeed. VERY fair...but you need to work for your grade. One of the best teachers at Triton.
Only the best professor I've ever had: caring & willing to help outside of class. Motivates her students to think "outside the box", to do better.
She is an amazing instructor. Besides being incredibly intelligent and creative, she genuinely cares about her students. She is always willing to help. I've had her for three different classes. She is the best. If you want to learn take her class. If you want to fly by class and not learn proper grammar than take someone else. She is a hard grader.
Hands down the best teacher I have had so far. Strict on grading and attendance but she lets you know what's expected of you. I received an A in her class but had to work for it. She is very entertaining!
A great teacher - one of the best I've had in a very long time. Very fair.
Very helpful instructor - cares about her students. My English skills have improved. One of my favorite professors at Triton.
I love this teacher! Best one I've had so far. She is tough on grading, but she let's you know it from the very beginning. She is also there whenever you need her. If you get an A on a paper, you better believe you did a great job. I believe all teachers should be this way. Tough grader, very approachable, and makes it fun to come to class. I looked foward to her classes every time!
She is a great teacher. Always be attentive and apply yourself. This is college after all.
An instructor who has actually challenged me and pushed me to achieve my fullest potential. She is very creative in her assignments, and she expects a lot from his students in return. Very helpful.
As a former student from her class; I can say that this professor was the best one compared to the ones before her. I learned a lot from her, but it sure was not easy. She requires students to do every single assignment, read (like you have no idea), and more. However, her classwork and easiness would depend in the student as an individual.
5-STAR PROFESSOR VERY INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECT MATTER - TOUGH BUT FAIR
Easily the best teacher I've had at Triton and one of the best teachers I've ever had. She taught me not only about rhetoric, but about life.
By far the best teacher I've had for this class. (It only took three times!) Very interested in the subject matter. Wants her students to succeed.
Only the best English instructor I have ever had.
Awesome teacher! Very helpful, will grade papers and will give tons of feedback. Will give quizzes to make sure you read what is assigned.
Yes, this lady is hilarious. Her sarcasm is a bit too much at times and I feel like they can be offensive. She actually had a girl walk out of class because she felt like she was being picked on by her. I am not sure if I would take her again, but yes very entertaining lady.
An excellent teacher - excited about the subject. Present information in a clear manner. Provides individual help if needed.
I'm sorry the semester is almost over - such an awesome professor (and person). I learned to appreciate literature; our poetry section was my favorite. Would take her again and again.
Throughout the course, I had no idea what my grade was. Very tough grader on papers and not enough support or feedback than comments she adds while grading. Lectures can be long because you end up listening to things that are off topic.
I'm sad the semester is over - enjoyed attending class. She is available outside the class and makes time for her students. Very encouraging. By far, one of the best instructors I've ever had.
I love the passion and enthusiasm she brings to the class. Great feedback from essays that I have submitted. A very good professor.
10 out of 10 an exceptional teacher!
Class discussions were rich, intelligent. The readings were thought provoking. Ms. P is passionate about the subject; her enthusiasm increased my interest in the class. A very good professor. Take her if youre able.
Probably one of the best teachers that I have had at Triton. Well organized, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what she is teaching. Always helps her students when they need it (even outside of her office hours). Students can learn a lot from her.
The best class and professor. She's great! If i could have her teach my other classes then it would be more interesting.
Seriously, the best teacher at Triton.
An excellent teacher - really cares about the success of her students.
A++++ teacher.
One of the best professors I've ever had - sorry the semester is ending soon.
One of the best professors I have ever had. A++
Best teacher I have ever had. Such a great class. As long as you do the work and participate, it's a very fun class to be in.
I wish my previous English teacher were this great. She puts lots of effort into grading papers and gives useful feedback.
One of the best teachers I've ever had.
Lee is a teacher who loves what she does and wants you to take something from her class. She's a tough grader but gives lots of feedback so you're able to improve.
An amazing professor. A tough one but you will definitely benefit from the class. Show up, do your work, and participate and you will pass!
On of the best teachers I had last semester.
she's funny but she gets mad if no one participates. very tough grader. if you don't do good in 2 essays don't expect to get a good grade. she doesn't tell you your grade throughout the semester unless u meet with her before or after class. she minus points if u come in late the day papers are due. but she didn't do that with everyone. go figure
Shes a very tough grader. She wants your paper flawless or she will not give you a good grade. If she doesnt like you she will give you a hard time. She does not grade papers immediately. It Takes her almost 3 weeks to grade your essays. She does not post anything on Blackboard and she does not share your grade with you till the end of the semest
Hands down the best prof at Triton! Five essays were required, but clear direction and feedback were provided. I enjoyed her lectures and sense of humor. Participation is key. The grade you get is based on your effort. I miss having her as a professor.
One of the best professors I've had: organized and VERY helpful outside of class. Feedback is constructive. A++
Awesome teacher - takes extra time with her students. Extremely helpful.
Challenges students to work harder. Enthusiastic about the subject matter. Provides additional help outside of the classroom. A++
She was hands down one of the best professors/teachers I've ever had. As long as you show up to class, pay attention and turn in the required work, you'll do fine. She made the lectures very enjoyable and she provided very clear feedback on your papers. She truly cared about her students and their work.
One of the best professors at Triton.
Shes amazing, caring and you will actually learn in this class.
Great professor! She inspired me a lot throughout the semester. She gives the class poems and readings that I decided to save forever, they are so inspiring and motivating.
A+++++++ Such a good instructor.
I enjoyed taking this class with Professor Piscopo. She was super helpful and always tried to help students when they were struggling with the essay assignments. Offers help outside the classroom. She made me a better writer. A+
Professor Lee cares about her students growing and learning. She is challenging, so if you want to learn and be developed into a better writer, I would recommend her. However, if you are looking for an easy class, she is not the teacher for you. I am grateful for teachers like Professor Lee, who wants her students to be better than average.
One of the best professors I've ever had: helpful and caring. A++++
I had her for Fall of 2019 and she's really fun but very strict. She's straight to the point and knows she's a hard grader. She makes the class worth coming to and worth the tough grading to become a better writer. Best teacher I've had so far. Easy to access through email, too.
Hands down the best professor at Triton! I enjoyed her lectures and sense of humor. Aside from lectures, participation is key. It's not hard to participate in class as she wants students' opinions. The grade you get is based upon the effort you put in. I would recommend taking this professor.
Professor Piscopo is one of the best teachers at Triton. She tells you exactly what is expected in order to succeed in the class. She is very understanding and respectful. Lectures are interesting, and the class extremely interesting.
Ms. Piscopo is an excellent teacher! She provides a mix of lectures and practical learning activities in a very supportive learning environment. As a student, you feel pushed to learn and try out new competencies. She provides valuable feedback to help you to improve.
This class was very interesting (for a composition course); I enjoyed it. You will have to apply yourself if you want to pass. She has clear grading and provides feedback on how to improve.
She is not an easy grader, but you can adopt to that because of the material she provides you in order to pass this class. She focuses on the structure of the paper and tries to help you with it for the long run.
I love Ms. Piscopo! She really knows how to teach well to her students! Even though she can be tough, she does help out if you ask her! Take her! You'll be happy you did!
Ms. Piscopo is an amazing professor. Her assignments can be difficult, but she provides great feedback and is clear on how to get a better grade. She is funny, and it's clear that she cares about her students. She can be a tough grader, but the assignments in this class prepare students for future careers.
I love her as a professor! Lots of papers but they weren't too bad. She is very understanding and caring. She helped me with many things personally this past semester.I would highly recommend taking a class with her!
Professor Piscopo runs a challenging but rewarding class. Her lessons are engaging, and she provides helpful feedback to improve your writing. Use unstuck ai for study prep - it's a great tool alongside the textbook.
