He is a funny guy. He gives you like 4 projects and a long case study every week. He has good notes, but the tests are hard.

Awesome guy, if your an idiodt then dont take his class cause he will rip you apart. If you get it and use common sense in class then he will offer all the help you need. He has time consuming papers, but they are extremly well maintained and doable.

The guy knows what he's doing. Very funny, but do not take if you're sensitive. He's a difficult grader, gives a lot of work, and expects a lot from his students. But you leave with a working understanding of the material, and after all, college isnt supposed to be easy

Great professor! Very knowledgable and always willing to help. Certainly sets the standards of what college should be

Professor Zachilli adored me so I can't say a bad thing about him........hard class, hard tests, long projects, but he liked me so that made it easier

Knowlegable, definetly has the potential to be a good prof., but isn't-he seems like he doesn't want to be there. His tests are way too hard and he gives too many projects-most of them he doesn't even give back. Not a nice guy!!!!

Professor Zachilli is the only teacher in this school who has taught me something.I have heard his higher level classes are really hard, but I plan on taking him for everything I possibly can. He doesn't take****,but he understands excruciating circumstances. Take his class, you'll learn something

Prof. Zacchilli was an extremely demanding professor who expects alot but in the end gives alot. My project was over 90 pages and seems to the endless but he does reward hardwork in the end and I recieved an A on the project & presentation. Hard exams and work but well worth the effort in the end.Visit him for help and you will get a better grade.

His class is really hard, but he is fair. The paper gets to be about 70 or more pages. You will learn a lot but you have to make sure you study for all tests...every point counts! Don't slack off and you will get a good grade.

he's a good teacher but a real challenge. Show him your interested and he'll show you the grades. I dont know if I'd take him again. But i learnt alot.

Cool guy, work over breaks isn't hard, it's just time consuming and stupid. Papers...an 8 page paper due every 1 1/2 weeks or so. I learned a lot, don't leave his work until the last minute. Regardless, good professor, if you fail, thats your fault hacks.

he is alwfully hard. If you want write papers every two weeks go ahead. He can be funny but he is very confusing and he hates answering questions, he has no time to talk to you and hel you. you have to assign appointments to see him. But you will learn a lot. Tests are BEURKKKKK very very very hard.

He is a good prof as long as you're willing to put the work in you'll get a good grade. Overall, he's a very nice guy you just have to work your butt off to get on that side

Very intelligent. He knows his****. He WILL make you work. Probably in the top 3 hardest professors at J&W. HOWEVER:: I would take his class in a minute. You will learn something from him. If you want to learn, take him. If you want an easy grade:: search elsewhere.

Many people think he is a bad professor. Well, he's not. If you work with him he will work with you. Just dont try to act like a smart ass or he will make you look like a dumb ass. Overall I liked him he was a good professor. He definitely knows what he's talking about. And he's always around for help.

I don't like easy professors, I like challenging Professors. But I found Zachilli WAY overweighted on obscenely large assignments. I'm an A student and I found myself abandoning my other classes just to keep up. I never had a personal problem with him, but he had a habit of making fools of others. Work load is not balanced, and lectures are bland.

Pro.Zachilli is a GREAT teacher..... i am an average student and for the fist cople of assignments i was not doing well! BUT he offered to assistance to ALL of the students in the class and i took advantage of that! All in all... he is ALWAYS there for help and will never set you wrong! If you want to learn he is a GREAT person to learn from!

This class was not bad. Only one project and it is just a paper w/presentation. Be sure to follow directions completely. You have to be able to handle him because he will say it like it is and can be a **** sometimes.

I love seeing how most of you are complaining about Prof. Zachilli. I think he is the most knowledgeable and helpful teacher that I have had at JWU. I have had hi

Cut Zachilli some slack. I think he is the most knowledgeable and helpful teacher that I've had at JWU. I've had him for three classes(HR,Resort MGMT, Trvl+Trsm) and he has been awesome in all three. If you listen to him and pay attention he will tell you what you need to do, and the people who don't do that are the ones who are complaining here.

Many people would hate to take him, but he is one of the most knowledgable professors at JWU. He will help you if you ask. Just dont be a wise guy or you will be made to look like an idiot. Great professor also a great person to know.

Zachilli is hilarious. Just follow his directions on everything exactly as he says to and you'll get an A. Case studies can be long and boring but all you have to do is copy from the book and cite it. Easy. ALL TEST ARE OPEN BOOK

Prof. Zacchilli is one of the best teachers i have ever met. He isnt easy at all which i find it a challenge. I give him all the credit for all the great job he is doing in teaching from experience.

Intimidating at first. I am an A student and on the first paper I received a D. I went to him for help for every paper after that and received all A's. If you put in the time and effort your grade will reflect it. If you are a student who does not care about school or wants the easy way out..don't take him. Most knowledgeable teacher at JWU so far.

a lot of info

He is a very good professor, he might be hard and the projects can be hard but if you go to his office and look at the past projects you will know what he wants. He knows lot about hosp and all the subjects he teachs. I try to take any class that he teachs, mainly because you can learn alot from him.

He s a sweetheart! love him..he is funny and fair..people who don t like him are not ready for a challenge, and do not like criticism...go to his extra help and u will get an A, it is not an easy class..but if u put enough effort in ur work u ll be fine this class is wut a real college course should be..if u ready for challenge take it! Go Zacchill

ok...helpful

Try to avoid taking his class as an elective as this class should not exactly be a breeze, but should not be to difficult either. His Tests are hard, his projects are overwhelming, and he wont take a joke but tries to make them and fails. This is the class of my week I least look forward to, so unless you have four hours a night to study, avoid it

Was worried about him at first but he's a really nice guy! So don't be intimidated, be prepared to take A LOT of notes but if you take good notes in class you'll be fine on tests. Test he give you essay and short answer questions then the day of the test pulls one out of a hat so prepare for them all.

He seems strict but very helpful. Literally my favorite teacher although he is tough. Would go out of my way to take his class. :)

Best Teacher I've had a JWU providence. He knows his stuff, he's a hard professor but will help you. Be prepared to work hard, and have a lot of work, but it will deff. pay off Will help you down the road too, he writes great letters of recomendations.

He was very regimented and organized. He would help you with whatever you needed as long as you email him. Don't go up to him without an appt. and expect him to help you. I loved the way he gave a break and tried to mix up what he was teaching. If you understand the fact that going to college means earning your grade through assignments then I recommend him! His classes are also hysterical!

He is a very hard professor. This is by any means NOT an easy A. He is a fair professor. Lots of work. Class is not boring he usaully makes it interesting. Hes a nice guy. Don't take this class if you wanna slack off because there is a lot of work but he is a good professor

Great Professor, you need to be prepared, attend class and make sure you pay attention. You will earn your degree the right way because he teaches you real world stuff and assigns work that you will do once out of the college. If your first assignment is a failing grade don't panic, meet with him and see other examples sometimes that can so help!

Prof Z. is a really great professor. He is a hard grader gives a lot of work. He is aways willing to meet with you in his office. I personally think he is a really funny guy. Taking him will benefit u in the longrun because he teaches a lot of great stuff

If you are here to actually learn TAKE HIM. He is the best. You will learn so much from him. It's a very hard class, but well worth it. Tests are open book and super easy. If you show him that you care about your grade he will bend over backwards to help you. Anyone who says anything different was probably too lazy to go for extra help.

Challenging prof.I learned so much relevant info from his class. He is very flexible when it comes to office hours or times to meet. The tests are open book which some what helps. The assignments can be overwhelming. I recommend taking him if you take your classes seriously and want to earn your grade the right way.

He is tough. He likes things to be done to the best of ability, but he gives everyone the same chance to do well. He is fair, but if you are not prepared to actually pay attention and spend time on the work, then don't take this class.

He's very practical. He will push you to the limit of work that you can finish. But at the end of the day, he'll answer any questions you have. If you don't want to work, don't take him. I think he's really hilarious.

Zacchilli gets a bad rap from some students because they don't like to put in the work. I have had him for two courses and is probably one of my favorite professors at JWU. He's tough and he challenges you but it's all so that you can learn to critically think and analyze. As long as you show up, participate, and put the work in, you'll do well.

Well where to start ...

I took Professor Zachilli for my in summer, for my HOSP HR. I got a bad grade, however I still happy to be in Professor Zachilli's class. He is very professional, he is probably most knowledge Professor in JWU. you have to take him once in your life. If he passes you then JWU will pass you. He is awesome .

He is a good prof. if you have any questions, he would answer you and show you example in his office. Tests are difficult. The participation matters. From his class can learn a lot.

Strict but you learn a lot, always available during office hours

Prof. Z is fair, kind, and a wonderful teacher!

The class was tough, but I enjoyed his class overall. I sat in the front and I believe that was beneficial as this was a night class and it was easier to stay awake. We are on our own for studying for the midterm and final. No in class notes or anything. Book heavy. He is very into Connect online learning and this was very beneficial to the class.

A lot of people don't like him right away, but I think that he's a pretty great professor when you get to know him. If you approach him about your grades he is willing to help you out, as long as you make an effort to succeed. You need Connect for this course and all the tests are based off that. He is very emphatic about participation in class!

Has a lot of industry knowledge and real-world experience. His lectures are interesting. Be sure to take notes; you'll need them for tests. His projects/ papers are hefty, but doable with planning. His tests are a bit ridiculous; heavy focus on tiny details. Anyone calling him "mean" didn't contribute in class or was on their phone the whole time.

The best professor at Johnson and Wales. His class can be a lot of work but the knowledge you learn makes it so worth it. Do not skip out on the opportunity to take any class with him. If you care about getting a job after college and having confidence in your knowledge of the industry, take one of his courses.

Professor Zacchilli was amazing. He is so funny and such a good and caring professor. He took the time to get to know all of us as students and made connections with us individually. The way he teaches is very effective in my opinion and I learned a lot from him!

I went into this class a little nervous due to his overall rating but he is a great professor. Attendance is important and he is thorough with his lectures, super accessible and helpful person. Helped me find opportunities when I was job searching. The class work was primarily weekly quizzes on the reading, discussion posts, and the main project.
