He is not only the biggest dissapointed but extremely hypocritical. I took him for ENC1101 and i received an A average. It took a month for him to re-consider checking a paper in ENC1102 even begging. The only people who get far in his classes are his favorite students. Make sure to use dumb down vocabulary and to state the obvious in your papers.

One word to describe Duasso, would be different. He's very passionate about the class. The way he grades his work is a little bit weird. It's like based off correct punctuation and grammar and then feeling. Like how much passion you put into your writing. If you like a more standard, direct professor. Duasso isn't for you.

You can definitely tell Professor Duasso is passionate about his job and his students. There are no tests, just papers which are interesting and easy to write. On rare occasions there are discussions. He takes his time to make the lectures and finds stories and topics that are really interesting to talk about. I definitely recommend taking him.

In his class their's 4 paper you need to write and the last one is based off the novel you had to read by yourself. This class is an easy A. This professor had pre-recored lectures. He's super nice and easy going. He'll help his students with the assignment and he does tutoring with him one-on-one, if you need help with any of the assignment.

If you're ready to write high quality papers, this professor is for you. He isn't a bad teacher and he can be charismatic at times but sometimes if you volunteer yourself for him to review your work in front of the class he can be kind of rude. There's only 3 assignments that define your whole grade, so if you fail one you're in risk.

Very Interesting at time with his lectures. Attendance is mandatory but he cancels class often so it really adds up to really not even being there at times. There are 4 assignments in this entire course all papers you have to write, each progressively weighs more than the next. If you just put a bit of care into them he'll be sure to give you an A.
