Loves to use blue books, the tests are essay tests

Lectured a lot, but his knowledge & interest of the material was great; he added his own anecdotes & personal stories to make the info. relevant. He offered xtra help before tests & told the class exactly what material would be on tests. His grading was hard, a bit unfair; solely based on 3 tests but grading was reflective of the notes you took.

Very challenging essay question tests! Not my favorite subject, but Professor was fair.

Every class is all lecture. Almost no interaction. Gives possible test questions before the test (impossible to get below a B if you do them before hand). Good professor, class would be ALOT better if it wasn't just lecture.

He lectures a lot but gives you the exact test. the whole class was based on tests and since the test was given to you as a study guide beforehand you have to try really really hard to fail. This class was so easy.

A very fair professor who wants his students to learn as much as possible. The class is certainly not an easy one, but expectations are made clear and all test questions come straight from the study guides given a week before the exams. Those who have said negative things obviously did not want to put in the time, because the professor is fair.

He is really interested in his field of study. Extremely knowledgable. Sometime he will make corny jokes, but they are funny none the less. Seems to really enjoy teaching.

He is an extremely intelligent man and knows his subject. A lot of people made fun of him but they probably weren't laughing when they got bad grades. Gives study guides. Write everything you know in those blue books. Don't give simple answers. Easy A.

Great Professor,he does talk quietly sometimes but anyway he makes the class interesting. He gives out study guides the week before, study whatever he goes over in class. Peopel were ignorant and made fun of him, but this is college they should know how to behave. He knows his subject. Be specific as possible on tests and PAY ATTENTION!!!!

He is a great teacher and cares about his students, full of knowledge, he sound slow but if you are a good listener you will enjoy different stories about history and of course he makes them interesting for his students. Easy A if you follow the guidelines.

He knows his stuff. Unless you are a history major or extremely interested in history, dont bother. His tests are long, detailed essays on different parts of history. He takes each fact seriously and expects the essays to contain all the information discussed in class. Takes about two weeks to get a test back.

In my third class with with Lucc, for good reason. He is incredible. I enjoy learning and Lucc has satisfied the desire. Keep protesting the creditors' standardization Luccioni! I pay for your class, to get your education, you are stellar. Sadly CCC seems to be heading in the opp direction. CCC you will shortly be loosing one of your best students.

If you don't do well in this class then you aren't applying yourself. Wake up, pay attention and ask questions. I like this class and I feel Prof. Luccioni knows his stuff. He's getting a bad rap on here. This is college not high school so expect to work a little harder, but come on he gives 3 test the whole semester and if you ask for his help he

i think he is a good teacher. He knows his stuff. if you think you can listen to him to write notes, more power to you. i took him in the summer and he gave study guides which i used to book and internet to study rather than listening to him. he talks to the very last minute. im a history major so i can take the heat. he is very generous.

Wonderful again Luccioni. I wish the semester was longer. Finished my fourth class with Luccioni, I wish I could take more. Tests are a waste of time for me, a waste of a class, the test is a quickly scribbled collection, a ****ization of the knowledge I have gathered in Luccioni's class.

This is most certainly a man who loves what he does. If you cannot understand something .... RAISE YOUR HAND and he will most certainly explain it in a way in which you can. He's very knowledgeable in his feild... yes, he's very particular but he wouldn't be so hard if he didn't expecthis students to do well in class. That's a sign of a caring/goo

Awesome teacher. A little difficult as far as how he grades tests but if you attend class and take notes, for the most part, the answers are right in front of you. Does not focus on the book to much which is a good thing because you know what he is saying will be on the test. Easy teacher to ask questions to and won't hesitate to answer a question.

I had Professor Luccioni for US History 1 last semester. He really knows his stuff, but he only has three tests and they are 75% essay. However he gives you a study guide a week before and if you write out you essays before hand you can show him and he'll let you know if you are on track. Just make sure you answer all parts of the question.

Amazing teacher! I'm definitely going to miss him. Take notes....he tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. I hardly opened the book. I learned so much just from his lectures.

I absolutely loved his class! I was always excited to find out what we'd be learning each day. He is extremely knowledgeable & fair. The work load is very light, so there is plenty of time to relax and take in the material. Definitely recommend!!

Great Professor Very knowledgeable and sweet. His class is all lecture. You have to take notes based on his lectures. He makes history interesting if you pay attention. I learned a lot from him. If you take detailed notes you won't need the book at all. He gives study guides with everything that is on the test. If you study you are guaranteed an A.

He is really a genuinely a good guy. He shares his perspective, as well as how history can be skewed by the film industry, I found that interesting. He's actually pretty funny. If you pay attention, take a lot of notes, and go to class, you'll excel! Go in with an open mind.

Dr. Luccioni is a good professor. He knows his stuff for the most part. I'd keep a laptop in front of me & look up people & events he mentions to correct him when he makes mistakes. The class is just lecture & he gives study guides for the exams. If he steers off topic, ask a question that gets him back on topic. I wouldn't bother buying the book.

Good professor. If you can't understand him, ask him to repeat what he said, as sometimes he speaks in a high unintelligible voice. And he goes off topic a little too much, try to get him back on topic by asking an on topic question. Overall he knows his U.S. History & is a kind person. If you've internet access, no need to buy the book.

EASY A. he gives 3 tests, and a study guide a week before the test. if you fail his class you should rethink attending college. overall nice guy and an interesting class.

Overall a good teacher. He knows what he is talking about but when it comes to test and such , it's all about how much you study and what you're willing to do to get a good grade. Wont be easy if you don't study.

I have his 50-minute 12:00 class, and Dr. Luccioni is just average. On the bad side, he is boring and rambles off topic frequently. But, positively, he actually doesn't mumble like a lot of ppl said he does. He actually talks loud and clear and shows pictures of historical things; and writes on the board too. I guess I have him at a better time.

Don't get me wrong, he's a nice, knowledgable guy; and he means very well, but Dr. Luccioni is boring. And his tests (and his grading of said tests) are ridiculous too. But he isn't as awful as most of the reviewers have made him out to be on here.

I was a History major when I took his class. That being said, his class is a typical history lecture. He basically sits in the front of the room and talks. You are tested on the lectures, not so much the reading. There are only a few test which are all IDs and one essay. He is very knowledgeable, as long as you take notes and study you'll be okay.

Decent professor. Lectures are ok if you can tolerate a nonstop talker. However, his grading of tests is BRUTAL. He has a PhD in History, and expects you to have one too when you write your IDs and Essays for the exams. But overall, he's not too bad.

His whole class is a consists of attendance everyday and a long lecture. tests are based off of his lectures so WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN AND YOU WONT NEED THE TEXT BOOK. Your final grade is made up of 3 tests and he is a brutal grader so study like there's no tomorrow. But he confirms your study material if you ask him to. He's an alright professor.

A professor who turned out better than expected. Very knowledgeable and helps you go over material when you complete your study guide. However, his tests are harshly graded. But besides that, he's far better than I thought he would've been! I wish I was able to take him again

I love Professor Luccioni, and while this was for World Civ 3 (and might not be the case for other classes), there were a total of three exams throughout the semester which students are given a study guide and your grade was based completely on that. I love how much he knew (even though it was a bit much sometimes!) he still has to be my favorite.

The lectures are insightful and engaging and make having him as an instructor completely worth it even though the class will be very, very tough. If you take solid notes and write down everything he says in class you will have 90% of what you need in order to pass the examinations, which are difficult to say the least: long essay heavy.

This professor kept the class very interesting. He constantly supplied visuals to help aid the learning processes. He was very enjoyable to listen to. My advice would be sit in the front of the class, pay attention to EVERYTHING he says during class, & take great notes. He leads you to the information you need, just pay attention. :) I'd take again

Professor Luccioni is a very intelligent history teacher, he really knows his stuff!His class is just lectures but if youre ok with listening and taking notes then it's fine!He isnt strict with his grading especially if he can tell that you paid attention to what he said. He drops plenty of info he wants to be on the test you just have to listen

I had the professor, enjoyed the class, got an A. Take good notes, learn all the info on the study sheet, and oh, study for the exam and you can pass. Life isn't always multiple choice, sometimes you have to face essay questions. A lot of these reviews sound like a lot of whining to me from people that didn't put the work in and now regret it.

Professor Luccioni is not as bad of a professor as everyone seems to think. I found in my class that most of the people who struggled were the ones who did not pay attention to the lectures and didn't take notes. Therefore, I would be prepared to take good notes and then study them extensively for the tests in order to pass.

He wants u to learn material. Listen to lectures, take notes, study terms and inform. Outline chapters and do the he, ask for help. You can pass with work ask him what he wants. U can succeed if u study and listen

Study, and listen well to lectures, ask questions. If u write the information he gives u on exams u can pass his class. History is important to learn, people and effects can impact both past and present. Listen to the wise professor and u can be successful in school and life. Best wishes.

I had Professor Luccioni for World Civilization I. He is super easy going and youll pass as long as you study. I took notes during his lectures. I studied ONLY the night before the exam and got a 94. As long as u remember dates youll be fine! He is a great professor and his class was super easy! Cant imagine how anyone failed his class. Easy A!

I was stuck at an Alternative High School for two years and not learning the skills I needed for this class. Luccioni was great at helping me get up to speed. Lectures feel very disorganized and if you get take-home tests, be prepared to spend lots of time and energy on them. Also, take very good notes and follow his advice on essays.
