No Comments
Demands a lot from students but is a great teacher and makes history a great subject. Great class!
All professor should be like man....he's builds hope in the students....Prof. Postiglione is the best teacher i've ever seen...union county college should have this professor teach the other professors how to be a people person !!!!!!
Learned more in 3 months about sports then ever have before - his main concern is that students succeed no matter what they major in - a great class - you learn things you never thought you! A great class and prof.
Great class - learned lots about health/weights and keepen pounds off! Great and kind teacher
Learned an entire new way to think about Sport. Many ideas challegened what I had thought sports were. The teacher covered every controversy with care and attention always telling you when something was "his opinion." The book was very challenging but the teacher tried to be fair in explaining the author's point of view. A great class!
One of the best. Teaches sport, adult fitness, and history. If you need help he's there
Great class - used lots of info to present the material - would recommend even for students who just want to learn something new!
This man needs to teach more history classes. He has to be one of the best teachers that this school offers. You actually learn from this class.
LOVED THIS CLASS AND ALL WE ARE DOING IN IT. I NOT ONLY LEARNED SPORTS BUT ALSO HOW IT IS SUCH A LARGE PART OF ALL MY LIVES. TESTS ARE FAIR BUT MR. P. WANTS YOU TO KNOW YOUR STUFF. EVEN IF SPORTS IS NOT YOUR WORLD THIS CLASS IS GREAT AND THE TEACHER MAKES IT FUN AND LIVELY. A RECOMMEND FOR ALL
Class discusses American sports and how it impacts us the teacher is great. I never considered myself a great sports fan but Mr. P. always lets you know how people like Joe Louis, Jackie Robinson and Ali not only changed sports but the country his class on the 1980 USA hockey team really left me with the idea that sports do matter! Great class
BEST TEACHER IN THE SCHOOL GOO TO CLASS AND PASS!!!!!!
The class taught you so so much about sports and how important it is in the USA. It is a great class and I would recommend it to others
Learned lots from Mr. P. He really wants the students to learn the material and he gives you tons of examples from current sports - even if you are not crazzzzy about sports it is a good class - workload and reading are fair
he is a very helpful teacher and explains things so that you understand and remember them. His tests arnt hard you just have to be organized and look at the material. He wants students to pass hes a nice guy.
greatttt class and teacherrr helped me with my writing class to
The greatest teacher i have ever had. He will give you every oppertunity to pass, and if you dont then school might not be for you. He will help you with registering for classes as well if you ever get in a pinch. I must have taken atleast 4 classes with him over 3 years. Without his help i wouldnt have graduated when i did. GREATEST TEACH EVER!
I had this guy for history over the summer a few years back. He is a great professor and HE CARES! Take him for anything you can
Excellent class and teacher, Mr. P makes you think and learn
luved this class we discussed everything about fitness for 6 weeks and I learned lots Professor P makes learning important and he wants you do well in his class take any of his classes and he will inspire you to learn and develop as a student and person
LUV THIS CLASS AND TEACHER AS HE ACTUALLY USES THE BOOK AND U FEEL LIKE YOU GET YOUR $$$ WORTH i THINK THE CLASS WAS INTERESTING AND WORTHWHILE AS i LEARNED A LOT AND i WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND
tOOK his classes and they all transferred to rutgers no problems i learned a lot and how to study which is helping me at rutgers - take these classes they will help you
so nice. easyyyyyy class. just do the Homework and you'll do fine. he hates when you're late and will hold a grudge against you for it.
love the class and prof
the class showed how important sports are in american hist. we used the entire book and made use of films and videos it is not my major but i learned lots i would strongly recommend
he was really cool and the class is great if you like sports
great professor. clear about his lessons and really knows about what he is teaching. always prepared and fair in grading. get the book and I strongly suggest showing up to class; I never minded because it was always interesting (I'm not even a Sports Mgmt major.) he really wants you to learn the material and he also encourages sharing opinions.
Wonderful professor!! highly recommended! Very fair!!
favorite class of all time we learned so much about sport history will help me when i work with just about anyone mr.p... is always available when you need him
He's great eye candy and a great person who will help you out when you struggle. I highly recommend taking his classes..even just for eye candy purposes.
Am I crazy? I dint have a great exp with this prof like everyone else. He treated the students like children and gave 4exams on golf. 50 questions on anything in the book? I needed 1credit, thought it would be fun but turned out to be a big burden. Stay away, unless u know golf and dont need to study. Sheesh,more of a prob then a class.Didnt enjoy.
golf class was fun and enjoyable we learned the basicas and vocab and mr.p made the class fun and peeked interest going to start golfing with my dad now really liked the class
great class and proff tests were fair and a good class for sports people and not u will learn a lot of usa hist in this class and proff is funny with many good storys strongly recomm
I am a nursing student that took prof P cause I needed buyback. The class was great. I never thought I would be interested but professor p makes it so you care and learn. I am taking him for american sport history class this fall. take him if you get the chance. he is very kind and takes the time to get know all his students by name.
great class and very good teach with lots of current issues and current videos for sport major or not a great class teach is also very helpful with things around the college
whatever mr. p teaches take. I promise you will enjoy his classes. he has a great passion for his material and is very very kind to students
I am not a sport major, but took the class cause I needed credits. It was a great class and cause of it decided to major in sports. mr. p makes learning fun and wants you to do well. If you ever have a problem you can go to his office and he will help. very good class and I strongly recommend
if you want some bs class do not take mr. p. but if you want to learn about sports and how they connect to life he is your teacher. not the usual politically correct bs you get in most college classes. maybe the best class I have ever taken in college
Very helpful and kind prof. I enjoyed the sport history class and actually learned lots of american history from mr. p. makes you think about how important sports are to us. I strongly recommend this class and prof.
He is pretty good.
he keeps class discussion moving and gets to know all his students by name i really loved the class and all the discussion and passion of mr p he also helped me with an unrelated problem just a very kind man and great teacher who loves his students and job
graduating next week and the two years I spent at ucc were greattttttttttt professor p helps all his students to earn a college degree and his classes are great college classes i did an internship in which i learned lots i recommend the sport mgmt program it is a super super program and professor p is the best
professor p really helped me get my act back together. i struggled in h.s and did not care much but after getting involved in his program and classes and counseling he really inspired me to be better and never gave up on me. take his classes and i promise you that you will never be disappointed
This guy was awesome!!! I loved his class. It was so interesting learning about sports and watching sports specials in class. It was the best class I've ever taken at UCC.
loved this class and professor p. makes the class stay alert and keeps you awake. I strongly recommend for anyone who wants to learn how to think and appreciate sports
GREAT CLASS, VERY FAIR EXAMS, GOOD CLASS DISCUSSION, RECOMMEND MR. POSTIGLIONE AS A TEACHER
golf class that i loved. it was very enjoyable and the prof took time to help his students learn the game. i recommend to others
Mr. P is a very helpful man. His knowledge of the subject is unparalleled and anyone interested in being successful in the field of sports management should take his classes.
loved the class and the teacher
He definitely knows his stuff. I learned alot in this class. Would definitely take him again.
Really fun teacher. He knows what he is taling about. Gets everyone involved, and just a cool guy. Makes the class fun, and entertaining. He cars about his students, and doesn't want anyone to fail, or not graduate. He keeps you on top of everything and just is an awesome professor.
Fantastic class and teacher I was failing out of college and prof p took endless time to get me back on the right track his class is interesting and fair it is a must take
Mr. P is a good hearted man who is very passionate when he teaches. He just expects you to com to class prepared and ready to discuss the topic of the day. Know the terms and show that you care and you will pass. Interesting class discussions and kept it fun. Law is a tough subject just study for the exams and you will be fine. No surprises on exam
mr postiglione is a great teacher who has an incredible passion for teaching and for sport history. this class kind of combines sport history with american history he knows his students and he wants them to be the best that they can be -i highly highly recommend him
Best class I ever have taken in college. take this teacher if you want to learn about sports or about life. great class and a very dedicated teacher
Outstanding class and a very kind professor. I recommend any class Professor P teaches
great teacher and great major i got my degree in sport management and am going to a private college for $4,000 because of Mr. P's hardwork and dedication to his students
Very helpful and pleasant
if not for mr. postiglione would have dropped out of college now i am in a 4 year school and almost graduated he is very kind and dedicated to his students
Best college class I ever had mr. p makes everyone feel like they belong and have a place
did not know what I wanted to do when I came to ucc. sport management was a great choice as mr. p is very helpful and kind to his students transferred to kean and they took all my credits great decision
learned tons this semester great class and great professor strongly recommend ever if not a sport major
WOW what a great class learned so much in this semester about current sports professor postiglione is a great teacher fair and kind i would take him for anything that he teaches u really learn alot from him about sports and life
great class and learned so much about sport and its impact on all of our lives really recommend
nice guy, wasn't for him I would have dropped out.
loved the class and learned so much about the history of sports treats his students with total respect and dedication I would take him again any chance i could
Professor P literally changed my life. I am working on my masters thesis at a private school that he helped me get into after finishing at Union. I was not a great student in h.s. but taking sport mangement changed my goals and now I am about to get my masters degree and start my career as an athletic director. love the man and all he did for me.
very respected and trusted by his students mr p will help you in anyway he can take his classes
cannot' say more strongly how much prof p helped me i had totally given up on everything and he slowly helped me back i would never have graduated if he was not keeping his eyes on me i now have a great job he is just an awesome man it almost seems like he sees his job is to help screwups like me become better people
Fair and kind. Very interesting class learned lots veery understanding
Professor P was definitely a solid professor for me. The one thing I would ABSOLUTELY recommend is that you bring a laptop to the class. The homework that he gives to you is usually 60-75 questions. With a laptop it took me usually 1:30-2 hours to finish, so it's definitely time consuming. Easy class to pass, his tests aren't hard.
Decent professor. Lectures were good but he showed videos, that had nothing to do with class, everyday.
best class ever took i am a liberal studies student and this class is a GREAT elective teacher is kind kind and gets to know all his students went to him with problems and he helps you out great person and class
Fantastic Prof. Highly recommend him no matter your major.
class seems to go the same every day. read chapter goes over it and watches a video. if you do the work and come prepared you'll be fine. If you want to retake or get extra credit, email him.
MR P CAME IN DURING BREAK TO HELP ME WITH A FAMILY ISSUE HE IS VERY KIND CARING AND HELPFUL AND HE GOT ME BACK ON TRACK
really helped the class understand the important role sports play in society and our culture. i would recommend to anyone who has an interest in sports. very fair and approachable. professor p just loves to teach
enjoying this class very much and teacher is fair and accessible. he wants his students to learn and not just get by
Very kind and available to his students. Mr Postiglione helps keep you motivated and on track. He changed my attitude about school
a gem and an awesome teacher
Took him online and it was the best choice I ever made Took him for BUS 208
learned tons about sports and how important they are even if we do not realize it very helpful with students and goes out of his way for them
I have had Mr. Postglione everyday of the week for the past four semesters and he is probably the only professor that I would be able to spend that much time with without getting bored.
great class and learned alot about sports
best class at ucc as i learned so much about sports that i never knew teacher helps you as makes himself available to work with students mr. p really helped me this semester
Great class and teacher
exellent prof and would take him again for anything
Horrible experience. He doesnt teach, just assigns videos and articles which he asks you to write about your experience and opinions. Doesnt grade fairly for paragraphs that are based on past experiences. When giving feedback hes extremely rude. As a student I expect the professor to be professional and know the material.
wants his students to succeed and learn the material so it helps them for life and he is willing to take the time and individually help every student succeed. I was having difficulty and Professor took time to look over my work and provide thoughtful and helpful feedback
wonderful online philosophy class. I failed my in person class and took professor Postiglione and I loved the class helped keep me on track and took the time to help me learn the material so I can actually use it as a nurse he really cares about his students
This is a very fair online class. You learn alot about philosophy that helps you in other things. The professor is very avaialble if you have problems. I am taking his sport history class as an elective. A reallly good teacher.
Awesome class and learned tons about American sports history and why we are where we are today with sports in the USA. Excellent and caring professor who loves teaching and his students
I took as a summer online class and honestly did not know what to expect. Professor Postiglione was outstanding and I learned alot in the class. Very fair and interesting material. I would highly recommend to anyone. Professor gets back to you immediately if you have any questions
Mr. P helped me get into a 4year univesrity in NJ. not sure I would have made it without his support and help. kind and generous with his time
Very easy class to pass and make sure you make you manage your time for his assignments. He gives you all of the books and notes you need in a PDF.
Professor Postiglione is an awesome professor. He takes the time to get to know every student and you are treated as a person not as a number. He has a passion for his students doing welll. I really enjoyed this class and learned tons.
I took this class online and I can say his class was super easy just a lot of New York Times articles to read. Overall I would take him again.
Professor Postiglione is a great philosopher. His class is easy basically reading articles and watching videos where you will use philosophy to respond to his question. Quizzes are open book, and the class final is a short essay about what you learned in class. Take him you wouldn't regret it.
Show up, participate, and do the work. Not an easy A, there is a lot of work but he teaches in a way that is easy to understand. Would recommend anyone to take one of his many classes if you have a chance.
helped me much in this class very kind and concerned take any class mr. p teaches and you will love him
Professor Postiglione is an amazing teacher! He gives amazing feedback when it comes to your work. Gave us an article to read and I told him I didn't understand got an 7 ended up boosting my grade for being honest. He gives a lot of work and was actually pretty hard to keep up with if taking as a summer course (took 2 classes and worked full-time)
professor p always makes himself ready to help students he wants you to succeed and knows how to help students understand material kind and gennerous with his time
I took professor Postiglione's online philosophy course for the Summer. Summer classes are hard but online is even harder. He made sure that this class would be a breeze. Yes, there is an assignment due almost ever day but the feedback on each assignment from him is great and he grades very generously. He is very caring and makes you want to pass.
Amazing professor and person! He might seem rude at times but he really just gets frustrated at students who are lazy and immature. Professor Postiglione gets my vote for the hall of fame
i did not know what to expect but was totally blown away by how much i learned in professor postiglione class. he is an amazing teacher and wants every student to learn and do well not only in class but outside of it as well. his class is very interactive
I took Professor Postiglione's online philosophy class for the winter semester. He was by far the most organized professor I have taken thus far. All assignments were posted ahead of time and he always gives great feedback. There was a lot of work, but the assignments were easy & the quizzes are all open book. If you do the work, it is an easy A.
Taking this class is was like a full-time job, he gives endless assignments, and many times it felt like an army boot camp. He is definitely a knowledgeable professor, but very strict, and sometimes rude. If you are really interested in philosophy and is ready to give your ALL, go for it. Not an easy A and makes you WORK for it.
best class this semester and at my time at ucc. from first class teacher is always there to help students. learned a ton and very kind teacher. love s what he does and it shows
learned so much about sports. changed my major to sport management. professor Postiglione is an amazing teacher and person. highly recommend for liber studies people
Grades hard. Wants to hear his own words on assignments or he will fail you. Gives too much homework, and doesn't GRADE it! He will not care that you have other classes. Gives 5-6 tests plus pop quizzes without saying anything (but those he grades). Homework is 20-30 questions daily straight from the book. it makes you hate the subject.
The best college class I have taken at ucc. passionate about his subject, caring for his students and learned so much about philosophy. treats you like a college student. this class helps u to think and do better in all your other classes. take this professor!!!! learned how to think and learn.
Professor P is very fair and good to students. He expects you to work and stay current with reading. Always listens to all opinions in class even unpopular ones. Strongly recommend
Professor P is very fair and good to students. loved this class
A very good professor and class. He will help students with whatever they need. very available.
Was not looking forward to college before taking this class but Professor P. helped change this. is very kind and considerate. He goes out of his way to help students in and out of the classroom. I approached Professor P with an issue unrelated to the class and he spent the time to not only help but find a solution. Great class and learned alot.
really great teacher and person. incredibly helpful and generous to students
Great class and program. Professor p is always around to help you with whatever you need. Helps students. Strong recommend his classes.
rare that a teacher can change u like professor p changed my entire life. he helped me find something I care about and am passionate about. when I went through some hard times with covid he stuck by me and checked on me. I am graduating and going to a great 4 year college. the sport mgmt program and professor p are incredible.
incredible class and Professor Postiglione makes himself available whenever a student needs to see him. What an awesome experience learning philosophy from him. very open to the ideas and viewpoints of students. He always is respecting of student opinions.
I failed the first time I took Philosophy at this institution, due to heavy loads of coursework. So I decided to retake it for the winter and to take Postiglione online. I was pleasantly surprised by the organization and the light amount of work. He graded generously and gave amazing feedback. I got an A+. Postiglione is the way to go.
Best Professor ever, learned a ton in his class
Very good professor. Thoroughly enjoyed going to class for the first time ever. Easy to understand and although he's a tough grader, if your in his class everytime and don't skip you'll definitely get a good grade
Class and sport management program set me up for success. Prof p was a life saver and helped me get through it I will always be grateful
