good teacher, very smart, you don't study for his class, howerer he does'n give you an A if you did't fill his expectations.
HE IS A VERY NICE PERSON.EASY TO WORK WITH. THE OVERALL CLASS IS EASY, JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PERFECT GRAMMAR.
great teacher..explains everything clearly...have no problems asking him to explain something over! he may get a lil boring after a while but he is just doing his job ..and he wants you to understand fully
Tends to give long lectures but he is very helpful in explaning grammar. He does care about attendence, so dont miss more than 3 classes. He gives enough time to complete the essays about 2 weeks and he doesnt force you to participate. Dont buy the book, its barely need it.
VERY COOL GUY! make sure ur essays are good. he is really picky with all the grammar and sentence structure. read the book he gives quizes!
Very easy class. You do have to read the stories because he gives out quizzes on the important chapters on the book. If you read, you'll definitely pass the quizzes. No midterm or final only 4 main papers and he writes a lot of comments which helps and gives easy grading if you know how to writeHe also is very helpful if you ask & offers extra help
I hated writing until i had this class. Somehow made it fun. It was a challenge but overall a good teacher. Patient but can not stant people talking in class. Show up and on time because he will not go back. Would take him again for 1102.
Almost done with the class, getting an A so far....he is a GREAT teacher very clear on what he wants from you, outlines assignments very well.he is sweet and fair.come to class very important also do all your essays he wont be an EASY A you will ACTUALLY LEARN A LOT. he tries to make class fun.def recommend!! i <3 him :))))
Just finished 1101 with him and i wish i could take him again for 1102. he's a cool dude and keeps his lectures interesting (sometimes). Doesn't bother you about attendance but it does count after a certain number. If you know how to write you'll get an A. only 3 essays. cool dude.
GREAT teacher. By far one of my favorite teachers, he is really funny and very helpful. Easy class, do the work and you will pass.
He?s a great English teacher... He only gives about 4 essays and teaches you how to write good essays and how to do work cited. He is pretty cool and funny. His class is fun and he is very easy to work with. Easy A!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Great teacher! I took him for 1101 and I went back to his class for 1102. only gives 3 to 4 essays and he gives enough time for you to do them. For 1101 he requires black board participation, but the assignments are also very easy. This is a fun and easy class with a great professor. If you want to learn without getting bored in class, take him!!!!
Great teacher took him twice and received fair grades.
basic and easy class for essays with plenty of time to get them done very clear on what he wants in them and tries his best to keep the class fun. Do the readings because you never know when a pop quiz will come
Great teacher, he is so funny. He keeps the class very interested. You need to make sure you come to class promptly and on time because he keeps attendance. Overall his class is super easy you will learn alot.
Great English professor. Nice, funny, easy class. Bukowski would tell you to take his f'n class. Oscar Wilde would say the same, but in a cutting and lascivious one-liner. If you like books n' stuff it's a great class, and if not, still pretty easy. Recommended!
Great professor! He has a great sense of humor, is extremely nice and approachable, clear and helpful! The work is very doable and there's always enough time provided in between assignments. Even if you don't like English, he will keep it interesting.
Gives plenty of pop quizzes that are easy if you read the chapters. I'm not much of a writer, yet I passed his class with a B+.
awesome, funny professor! extremely helpful and clear. just do your work, read the stories in case of pop quizzes and turn everything in on time. no excuse not to pass. got an A in the class!
Peter D'Ettore was the most amazing professor I've had. Very clear and understanding of what it is you have to do. Of course, as everyone else has mentioned, read the chapters and stories and do the homework-- it helps. I'd love to take him again for an upper-level course. Thank Peter!
Peter was byfar my most favored professor. We makes sure there is no misunderstanding, gives you an open opportunity, and makes sure you learn what there is to learn. I highly recommend him. Just make sure you read and pass those quizes. A piece of cake!
GREAT TEACHER! MUST TAKE HIM!!!
His class was very easy as long as you pay attention and ask questions. He gave three essays over the semester and a few pop quizzes that were easy to pass as long as you read and paid attention to his lectures. He also goes over every assignment, if you need help ask then! He will specify! He is awesome!
This professor is awesome and you will get an A if you all your work and he is so much fun....I love his class and you will too.
Peter is by far a good professor. you only have 3 essays,pop up quiz to see if you read the chapters, in class work and thats it.No final and attendance is mandatory!! you need the BOOK too!!
I had Peter for both ENC1101 AND 1102. He is so goofy and nice. Je tries to make the class interesting and is also very clear! He makes his essays very clear and will more than willingly go over them with you before you turn them in. He's helpful and you learn a lot. Would definitely recommend
My favorite professor so far, has an amazing personality and he's extremely funny! His lessons are very clear and explains helpful, detailed examples. He is fair, understanding and caring. His course consists of 5 interesting discussion boards on D2L, easy pop quizes (my class only had about 4), 3 essays, and a few easy worksheets. No exams at all!
One of my favorite teachers ever! He embodies all that is to be a GOOD teacher. He is insanely helpful, clear with directions, creative and compassionate. I loved him to bits! Funny and sets a comfortable atmosphere for his students. It is impossible to fail this class!!! He sets you up for success and even the few pop quizzes weren't so bad.
This is the best English teacher I have had EVER! He's amazing!!! His teaching style is super easy to understand and he really cares about his students. I love writing but hated literature before I took this class! He's a bit of a hard grader when it comes to essays but he'll help you if you need it. I highly recommend him! He's awesome!
He is basically,PERFECT! I'm so glad I picked this.
Great teacher, makes English easy. Would definitely take again.
I took his class a few months ago, and I miss it still. He is very interesting, it is not easy but it is worth it to take his class. You will learn, and you will get better. He keeps the class engaged, and really embodies what it is to be a good professor.
This class is easy to pass as long as you show up and do the work assigned.
Over the course you have to do 3 essays. He gives pop quizzes so read the chapters assigned. He is an amazing professor and I loved his class.
Great professor, make sure you do the required essays because that will determine your final grade in the class.
This is the best Teacher EVER!! I'm not really all on English and Grammar but This class helped me a lot. Only 3 essays for the whole course and they aren't very hard. He very cool and funny is teaching style is the best and he want every one to get along and speak. I Recommend him 100%
His class is funny. He makes jokes, and trying to make the class interesting. But the grades are very low, very picky on his material.
BEST TEACHER EVER!! He's hilarious, very organized, a little bit of a picky grader, but if you work for it he will reward you. Amazing at helping you understand grammar and really cares about the class. On the last day of class he got everyone donuts. Definitely recommend him.
Wonderful teacher! He is very organized and very patient. He is great at clearly explaining items, giving examples that you can remember. He possesses a quirky sense of humor that kept this class interesting. I learnt a-lot. Only 3 essays, and some pop quizzes so be sure to do the assigned reading. Wish I could take him for ENC 1102...
Professor D'Ettore is awesome. This past summer semester was my first time in a college class, fresh out oh high school. He is really helpful in making the transition. TAKE HIS CLASS! His pop quizzes are easy as long as you read the prior nights assigned chapters. No final. 3 essays. I had a writing lab with this course, it was fairly easy as well.
Mr. Peter is an awsome professor. I can guarantee those students, who fail this course by taking him, are not going to pass ENC110 if he retake this course. In fact, I believe ENC1101 is not for them. English is not my 1st language, despite I did better with him. Morover, he helped me a lot, so stop reading post and regester.
He is an awesome English professor. He makes sure you understand the material. Just make sure to do the assigned reading because he gives pop quizzes.
He's honestly the best teacher I've ever had throughout all my years of schooling. He knows what he's talking about, he's quirky but very funny, and he goes out of his way to help his students. His class is super easy if you pay attention and read the material.
Best professor. Make sure to read the chapters he assigns it will help alot .
He is a great teacher! You have to do the assignments on the Writing Lab, which are lengthy. Overall, great teacher!
He is helpful, but is not clear on what he wants when writing essays. Tough grader
My first time taking any college course and i definitely wouldn't change a thing. Amazing professor.
Just do the Writing Lab, Essays, and any extra work he gives in class and you should pass with a B or A, if you do his work correctly. Had 2 to 3 pop quizzes. Just read the book before getting to class in case of a quiz.
Great Professor! Fair grader. I took his blended class. 10 discussions, 3 essays, a writing lab, and some easy in-class assignments. I wish I could take him for ENC1102!, but hes not teaching that class next semester.
Best Professor I've ever had. Really cares for his students.
Good professor. Can be funny. Read the book because quizzes are pop.
I loved him!! He was hilarious and a great professor. Very understanding and as long as you came to class and did the activities you can't not pass. Easy A.
He's a really good teacher. Very funny, relatable and cool. As long as you're well behaved you'll have no issues with him.
he is amazing, take him! I laughed in all his classes, he's hillarious. He gives plenty of time to do essays and he is very clear on what he wants, DO SPECIFICALLY WHAT HE SAYS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. All worth 20 percent the discussions, essay 1, essay2, essay3. do not forget to do the discussions, accessible at office hrs .
Best English professor ever ! He was so good that I took him again for ENC1102 . He is really the best . For ENC1101 the essays are pretty easy topics only 3 essays we did I believe .He can sometimes grade you hard on essay but that's if you don't but in effort. He also haves out extra credit on essay with great .Take this guy you won't regret it!
Professor D'Ettore is AMAZING! I loved his class so much for ENC1101, I took him again for ENC1102. He's smart, funny, and really cares about his students. I highly recommend him, if you want an amazing classroom experience.
He 's a tough grader he doesn't explain properly ,he doesn't teach at all and he gave everyone a C for the three essays in my last class . I don't recommend him if you take him you going to fail.
I don't think this professor good at all and no one should be taking his class because he will fail you . anybody that take his class get ready to pay the school back . when you retake the class again you have pay out pocket . he seem like cool teacher but not good teacher at all . if you don't have good essay either you get C + or get less
I took him for ENC 1101 for session 1. We only met once a week in Thursdays. He gives 4 essays to write. I honestly did not use the textbook even though he would assign reading but you really do not need it. Every week you have to do a discussion bored. No test.
Prof D'Ettore was really good I took him for session 2 ENc0025, He was really helpful and hilarious.
Was one of my favorite teaChers!
Amazing teacher. Easy to pass his class, fair grading. Plus, he's funny and interesting to listen to. Highly recommend!
Literally one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. He's funny and makes class something to actually look forward to. You should have zero problems with him because no matter what you may have a problem with he has a solution. He makes Game of Throne jokes and other jokes to go along with lectures. Just do you assignments and you'll be fine.
Professor Peter is very helpful,respectful,and a fun teacher to have. Also, he is very fascinating, and I have learned a lot through his well, smooth, and organized teaching. If you attended the class and do all the assignments then you are set to go. I would definitely recommend him to take it!
Great Professor. He is although a bit hard on grading, but if you do what he asks you for, you should do more than just fine. I would recommend to take him, only if you really want to learn something. Don't take him if you want to get this class over with. You probably will not do too well. You have to work for your A a little bit more.
Professor D'Ettore was great. You do have 3 essays and 10 discussions on D2L. He is very clear in what he expects from your essays. Anyone who says he is hard is not putting in the work in their essays. I am not the best writer but got an A in his class because I took my time with my essays. You do have to work for your grade. He is very funny.
Great professor. Easy class if you do the work. 10 discussions on d2l and 3 essays. Lectures on interesting topics and is very clear on assignment instructions.
Although he is a little tough on grading he is actually an awesome professor! Take him for all your English classes! I took him back to back! 3 essays and he also gives extra credit! TRUST me you wont regret it!
8 discussions 2 essays... class activities... Easy class as long as you do your work. Provides lots of feedback.. Funny Guy... Lots lots lots of room for extra credit
Professor DEttore has a really straightforward class structure based around this one podcast and its online discussion posts, the podcast is also discussed in class for some really interesting conversations and theres 3 essays to write in total. Only one of those is not revolving around the podcast, its a fun simple and interesting class.
Professor D'Ettore is THE best english professor at Broward College. He makes all the learning material fun & interesting. He provides great tools in order to keep the students' attention. I believe there were 3 papers for ENC1101 & 3 for ENC1102. Both classes were great & easy to keep up with. PLEASE take him if you want that A & fun learning exp!
Many people dread having to take English but his class was SO interesting and entertaining. His entire class revolves around a true crime podcast so if youre into that stuff youll love this class! Hes also funny and super nice! Hes not a pushover and hes not an easy grader but he does grade fairly and gives very good and thorough feedback!
I took this class for ENC1102 and Im gonna tell you now. If you arent GREAT at writing essays, DO NOT take this man. I worked my butt off on all of my essays and I havent received anything higher than a C. I had a 79 on one them and a 68. He gave me 80s on ALL of my discussions. Hes not horrible but dont take if you need a little extra help.
Not choosing professor D'ettore is a mistake, this man is hilarious and vibrant with personality. Loved his class especially since we only had one paper.
Extremely difficult professor, very picky with grading essays. If you are a normal student you wont get anything higher than a C. I would suggest taking another one.
Great prof for your English courses. Highly recommended!!!!
I took this class during COVID , but he made it fun by doing interesting backgrounds every meeting. Hes very funny and outgoing and definitely makes sure to help his students understand things .
Attendance is mandatory but honestly he makes class fun even during covid he's so funny. He is a tough grader for essays, his essays take up about 70 percent of your final grade so you have to do good on them luckily I am pretty good at English so I managed to get As and Bs on my essays. Overall recommend him.
He's very good with his lectures, nice and respectful, however, his essay topics are VERY difficult and boring. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice professor and all, but damn I'm over here writing his final and I'm already destroyed on the fourth paragraph. If you're an English major, BEWARE! He'll unintentionally make you sound stupid with feedback.
He is an exceptional professor. He's kind, funny, has a great attitude and I happen to like most of the topics he had us write about. He gives good and thorough feedback which is really helpful for the next essays. However, my only negative feedback is that he seems nitpick. I think he looks for problems where they don't exist.
While professor D'ettore is a nice professor, he is a tough grader and VERY nitpicky. Attendance is mandatory and if you do not show up for the majority of the class he will definitely drop your grade. Essays that are assigned are very boring. In my personal opinion, I would never take him again.
Prof. D'ettore is honestly a great professor. He really challenged me this semester and his feedback to essays and discussions was super specific and helped me get better at writing. I will say that he is suuuper picky on his grading criteria, but if you listen to his lectures and read the resources he provides THOROUGHLY you should be fine.
Hes a really nice professor but you have to do exactly what he tells you to do to get a good grade
Prof. D'Ettore is really generous and understanding with assignments. Overall good professor. My only criticism is that his lectures are very boring, I wish he had more in-class activities. Great professor if you're independent.
I will always remember professor D'Ettore for the entirety of my time at Broward, most caring and easy-going soul, assignments were concise and easy, his classes always had an entertaining twist and his charisma added to it, I always looked forward having his class. A great professor to start in college!
I was in his class for 2 weeks did the syllabus quiz, attended classes, and did the discussion and the guy withdrew me for absence, I couldnt even get a refund I was so upset
Great Professor, stay on top of your assignments and do everything he says because we will give you an 80% if you miss one thing, otherwise he's hilarious and his lectures are excellent and understandable.
Prof. D'Ettore was an amazing professor. His class was easy and understanding. He always found ways to make his lectures interactive. Grading is a bit picky but if you listen to his lectures and feedback, you won't have any problems. He is approachable and is always there to help. I definitely recommend you to take this class.
Great feedback. Easy assignments. Basically working on one essay the whole semester. There are short quizzes that you can take multiple times. Grades fairly and answers emails quick.
Super tough grader. Especially for an online class, there is no benefit in taking him. He does not give back much feedback on essays and rarely gives anything higher than an 85%. I'm a straight A student so I managed to get an A in the class, but just barely. For online, I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Amazing teacher! I hated reading but he chose some amazing stories and the discussion and lectures were truly fun. Definitely would take again!
Easy A...all classes prepare you to make a video essay that is due at the end of the course. So there are only 3 major assignments and videos you watch that you respond to for a easy grade. He has a sense of humor too so that also makes the class vibe a lot more fun. Gives great feedback and accessible outside of class. Highly recommend!
Very straightforward professor with not too much work. He makes the grading outlines very clear and every essay had extra credit opportunities. His lectures are engaging, and he has a sense of humor which makes the fact that it's an English class much better. Teaches in an engaging way and if you work with him he works with you. 10/10 recommend.
