This guy pushes too hard! Do Not take his class! Be warned!
No Comments
I did really well on all the tests (no lower than a "B" and I passed the certifications. But for some reason, I only got a "C" for the semester. NOT FAIR!!
Online course. Very unclear in directions, lack of support to students. Condescending comments, lack of compassion. I gave A work, and have been getting C's. He is a department head, so you will have to go higher to complain.
Excellent Teacher! I took classes in school. He was informative, interesting, and had a great sense of humor. I looked forward to going to class. He even ended class a day earlier than planned because of my maternity leave! Strict with grading though, he goes directly by the test.
made us run for 12 minutes and do sit ups and stretches...and this isnt gym class
he always kept class interesting and gave us choices on papers we wanted to write and made everyone in the class laugh everyday
Not a bad professor, a little on the hard side but if you read the chapters and take good notes, you can pull off a B+.
Not a bad professor. Tests ask the same questions twice which can be confusing. Must read the chapters to do well on tests. Prof. has a sense of humor, but is not very compassionate to special needs. Gave back to back test then final...no review.
I like him! I thought he was very fair and a good lecture. He tried to keep it interesting by adding some humor and personal stories. I learned a lot. Overall, he was informative and interesting. Keep up the good work!
very cool dude
Very cool.
Great course. Every class was interesting and the professor made sure you knew what you were supposed to do. If you read the book and take good notes you can pass without any problem. Also it helps if you buy the study guide for notes.
Not the worst, but definitely not the best. Didn't like his attitude, but I got a B, that's all that matters. Good luck to the rest of you.
He made class interesting
a very good teacher. He made the class interesting.
fun, teaches clearly
Dr. Nick rocks. He is so funny and has alot of great and funny stories. The first day of his course, I thought he was a jerk because of his class rules, but it turns out, he was really cool. Very clear and gives alot of notes but please read your chapters too! Thanks Dr. Nick! (hot for an old guy)
he was a good teacher even though he has a lot of rules and sticks to them. but i thought he was fair and an interesting teacher
Tough and feels his subject is important... but as long as you do the work, and do some studying you will be fine.
Thinks he knows everything.
Do not take him. He teaches from the textbook company's CD. He contradicts himself and doesn't know the material. Take this class at a 4-year school.
Not a lot of communication between me and the professor. It took him a while to write back to emails.
Very clear instructions, everything outlined to complete at your own speed. Great class.
quizzes helped with the exams, forums are easy grades if you do them right, emails are sent to remind you etc..
Easy course, nice teacher. Class is easy even if you don't read thoroughly. Tests are fair.. forums are pretty easy; only 4 of them. Apparently he missed my first forum posting, but quickly fixed it. Would recommend and would take another class with him.
Very Easy Class :)
Exams were a little bit harder than most classes. But professor always answered all my questions. i did not like how we couldnt miss a due date- not even by a day.
Very clear, consise, good sense of humor, challenging, and overall a good teacher!
smart teacher
I enjoyed this class very much. At first, it seemed extremely hard, and I almost dropped the class, however, I'm glad I did not because it was my favorite class this semester! The teacher made the class interesting and funny.
Good prof!
hes agreat professor
Very great professor funny and interesting thoungh me alot about the human body and the many aproches of how to treat the body
took his online course, it was very clear and organized, he graded assignments quickly, would definitly recommend his classes
Taught the subject very well, made all material as clear as possible, very good teacher and would take for another class.
A refreshing teacher. his class was great, we all got treated like adults!!! dont be late do your work and pay attention you will do fine!Dont hand in anything late, not even 2 minutes.GREAT TEACHER.
I'm taking his class online and needed to ask him a question, so I called him. He is the most arrogant, self-centered man I know. He gave me little help and hardly any direction. Avoid this teacher-he loves himself, but nobody loves him!
Had online class.Disorganized criteria in format outline for assighnments.Dr.very sarcastic when students ask for help.Dr.wants dialog oline w/students;topics on abortions,RU,foodpyramid/countcal.Less disputive topics and Dr.should teach more from the book. Also published his own outdated articles info book for final 40 questions. Grades unfairly D
I really enjoyed this class. I thought Dr. DiCiccio was a great teacher and very informative. I took it during the summer and i found it to be very easy. The tests however can be very difficult but if you take lecture notes and read the book you should do well. I would recommend Dr. DiCiccio to anyone
Overall good professor his tests are difficult if you do not read the text, even though he does not tell you to read it, READ IT! and take notes you should do fine. GOOD LUCK and I chose to do two projects and I found that better for me because i have a horrible memory.
His online class is horribly unorganized. Some of the links don't work, some things he says are on there are nowhere to be found. He doesn't know what his due dates for his own assignments are. Do not take his online class, you will regret it.
Definetely passionate about the subject but is a bit over the top on dead lines.
(online) Very few assignments. Early forum ones easy so long as you wrote a few paragraphs. Tests timed/mult choice all from textbook. Had to buy book he wrote for only one assignment- kinda tacky. That was easy so long as you answered all of the questions (everything was in book, no extra thinking needed lol). Easy class, but tests a bit hard.
Very arrogant instructor. He does not explain anything to you and laughs at your questions. No personality at all - very beligerant. Avoid him.
only has three grades two test and a paper. 100 questions test which is not easy. He was a easy grader with the paper which was reading a book and writing about it. He does not teach every chapter he tells us to go on a website that never works to get a study guide. He also takes of three point from your final grade for every time you miss class!!
He allows you to be absent once. He tells you to buy the book which you do not use except once. He assigns 3 tests and one project. His test covers eight chapters and it is one hundred questions each, which you have 50 minutes to take. His test are super hard and don't bother taking notes on what he says because its never on the tests. Good Luck!
DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS!! He is extremely disorganized. You have to post forums in multiple places because he doesn't know the program. Very arrogant on the phone. Stay away!
Makes an usually easy and enjoyable class hard and annoying. His grading system guarantees that you will never get an A. He even took several points off on an essay that was supposed to be a personal opinion (note that grammar and structure were impeccable).So that means that if your opinion is not compatible with his opinion then it is WRONG!
Possibly the worst class I ever had at CCC. The online tests were so difficult, getting a 93% for an A is impossible. The professor was no help either. You are forced to buy two textbooks, including one written by the professor. Avoid this class if you can.
This is the worst class I have this semester. He's arrogant, self-centered, and an idiot. He acts like his class is the most important one you'll ever take. Goes on and on about one measly example. Do NOT take this class with him. I'm sorry I did.
A coach who educates his sports team more than his own class. This man is unclear, ignorant, unorganized on the job. He talks about unrelated topics alot. He says read the book and and study it. When giving test, he expects the students to finish 150 question in under 50 minutes with subjects that weren't even on the material. please avoid him!
Very arrogant instructor. He is always late to class. He berates you if you ask a question. He should retire or leave CCC. Horrible teacher and no role model!
I've graduated from CCC and moved on but wanted to inform others not to take this teacher. He is very arrogant and does not have an interest in the students at CCC. There is a huge difference at my current 4-yr college. This teacher is rude and very obnoxious. In addition, his supplemental information sources are very questionable. Be warned!!
One of the most wonderful professors! If you ask to sit in on one of his classes before yours starts, he will let you. That way you can get more practice in for your CPR class/exam. Also don't disrespect the professor by attending class late, and be upset when you fail. You really need to know your stuff for CPR, after all it is to save lives.
I had him for CPR and thought he was great. Very nice & helpful, plus he cracked a few jokes. I would highly recommend choosing his CPR class.
You have to get used to Dicicco before you can fully appreciate him as a professor. I had him for a fall and spring class. Yes he makes the class challenging but this isnt high school. If you study appropriately and make an effort he will respect you more. If you ask stupid questions, he will make you feel stupid. Learned to love him!
Kicked me out of class and told me I was absent even though I was dressed because I couldn't an appointment to get him a doctor's note then snarks at me about how doctor's offices work and made me feel like an idiot in front of the entire class. Whatever. He's a know it all. Avoid him.
Very arrogant teacher. Has no sympathy for anyone but himself. Didn't teach sports management but talked the entire class about garbage. Do not take him.
HE is by far the rudest teacher I have ever taken. Doesn't work with you, has unattainable due dates, and just all around is confusing. if it helps you understand that without his class this semster i had a 3.8 with him i got a C. when i emailed him about confusion he was smug and said "not everyone should take online classes." SERIOUSLY AVOID HIM
He's rude and arrogant.
Had him for an online Health & Wellness course and was very disappointed. His material was outdated (still using the food pyramid and that been out since 2010) as well as his issues for discussion. Comes across as very arrogant and unreasonable. Would never take another course with him or recommend him to anyone. Be warned!
I took Basic Life Support for healthcare providers. He pointed out questions that students tend to get wrong on the test, and made sure we knew the right answers before we took it. He takes the material seriously, and you should too, you are learning how to save someone's life. He's a nice guy. Arrive early.
If you are a good student, you will like his class. If you are lazy and not self-disciplined you will hate his class.
Took him at Rowan for CHD. He takes off points for literally anything. There are 2 main projects for the semester and a couple exams that aren't too terrible. He can have a real attitude.
Worst professor at camden county college. His test are worth so much. He does no review. Sometimes he does not go over chapters. He is also disrespectful to students. I also do not understand how he can review 4 chapters in less than a week. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
This guy knows what he's teaching. But a final that's 131 questions in 50 mins is quite frankly ridiculous. No reviews whatsoever. Is always late. Highest I've ever gotten on a test of his was a 75 and I studied for hours. The questions in the tests are worded crazy. You don't know if it's all of the above, just 2 answers, or 1. Worst class ever.
Fair and challenging, not an easy grade but fair. Allows you to work at your own pace. Online course, so you must know the due dates but can work ahead. Organized class
Online class that allows you to work at your own pace to a degree. Interesting class and organized. Quizzes are easy and get you ready for the exams.
I am currently taking this professors class online through CCC. Though all my years of life, I have been taught by many teachers and professors, none of them half as arrogant and selfish as he is. He refuses to help students and is rude to you when you ask. The quizzes are outdated and don't prepare you for tests. All around horrible experience
I liked the knowledge aboutdifferent areas ofhealth and how to improve it and The ability to complete assignments ahead of time
What I liked most about the course was the forum assignments and the commentary from other classmates. It was fun to read and give your opinions on controversial topics, share your opinions with others and comment on other people's opinions. I liked how all the assignments, tests and projects for the entire semester were posted early and not weekly
I like that the class is very self-paced. and enjoyed the forums in the beginning. I appreciatethat an extra credit opportunity was given
Fair and very interesting
Learned quite a bit. Interesting.
quizzes are easy and help you get ready for the exams basically self-paced but don't miss the due dates
Online course- Nice as you can work at your own pace as long as you don't miss the due dates which are clearly displayed on the course calendar. Forum assignments are cool. Highly recommend.
Just finished and extra credit made all of the difference. You can work at your own pace and quizzes help you prepare for the exams. Good course.
Great class with lots of practical learning. Gives you honest feedback to help you improve. If you are going into fitness, training or teaching this is the class that will help you in the real world.
Quizzes and tests based on the book. Flexibility in doing the work. There is extra credit but it involves reading another book
Class is set -up so that you can finish early if you want. You can start on assignments or tests at any time but must have them completed by the due dates which are clearly displayed on the calendar. Grades everything quickly and tells you why any points were deducted. Interesting content and overall excellent class.
Nice class- Well organized with flexibility
I loved this man. Don't listen to all the haters. They don't appreciate a doctor who's there to help you in the long run. He helped me so much and I don't know what I'd do without him. Great role model. Awesome guy. Just don't be late.
This guy right here young and full of energy. I saw it when I was in his badminton class. Guy has a nice stroke. He's super funny and knows what he's talking about. Doesn't even act his age. Loved health and wellness with him. Learned so much in his class. Tests weren't that hard just study and go over his powerpoints and you'll be good as gold.
Not a good PE role model. He won't answer your emails or help on his office hours.
I just took a hybrid course with Professor Dicicco and I loved him! He responsded to all my emails and was very helpful. I'm not sure why people are rating him awful when he was nothing but caring! I would recommend him! All his online work allows you to work at your own pace. Just be aware of when things are due!
Dr. Dicicco is a really nice guy once you get to know him. My first semester having him I didnt like him at all but then I had him again and learned to love the guy. Hes super funny and his tests arent too bad if you study his PowerPoints. Taught me things I never knew and will always remember his examples. Some of his classes are hard.
Bit of an acquired taste. He definitely grew on me. Thought he was a complete moron at first but I realized he wasnt so bad. I was in his weight training class. We started with certain workouts then progressed as the weeks. I noticed myself getting stronger. Hes a bit unreasonable at times. Dont take him too seriously and youll be good.
I really really really really don't like the way this teacher acted. He still makes me upset when I think of my experience at camden county.
If you want to learn something he is the guy
Unreasonable and full of himself. Makes genuinely weird examples and is more worried about finding the perfect photo of Syphillis than if you understand what we're talking about. Must do hand written notes, and if you turn something in a second after the class starts, even if you're a minute late, there's a 50% deduction- like I said, unreasonable.
