Attendance was mandatory due to the class being a blended course. I really enjoyed the class. I learned a lot and it was the highlight of my summer classes! He is a great person to be around and very encouraging. I would like to see him teach more classes in the future at HACC. I wish more Professors had his attitude about teaching. Mary
Nice professor and easy to understand the principles presented.
I had Rich for marketing, management, and small business managment and I loved everyone! He is a great professor...I highly recommend him to anyone who is a business major! He has a great teaching technique that really helps the students! Wish more prof's were like him! Thanks!
Rich is a great professor who truly enjoys teaching. He uses different resources for teaching and encourages class participation which makes the class fun and interesting. If you need to take a management , small business or marketing class, I would highly recomment him.
Best professor I've ever had. He uses power points to teach, but gives real-life situations to help you understand. Every quiz and test (including the final) were take-home exams. If you need a business elective, take this class!!
Extremely good professor! Take him, and you will learn more then you would ever learn with any other professor! He is not only book smart, he has real time experience in selling and marketing. Except real estate, he is also teaching MANAGEMENT 121 (small business administration), and marketing 212 (personal selling).
Rich is a awesome teacher!!!! He is very willing to answer any of your questions, and give you the help you are looking for....
Best professor ever!!!
Rich is pretty cool, he is very laid back, but you still learn a lot. The only thing I didn't like about his class was: he is SO laid back a lot of people wouldn't show up.
He covers a lot of material in class. One negative is he needs to maintain better control of the class. Rich allowed 3 students who already owned businesses to overtake the class which made the rest of the class keep quiet. At times it seemed as if he only had 3 students and sometimes it was like they were teaching the class.
Great professor. Helpful and positive. Workload was average. Feedback was helpful. Would definitely take another class with him.
He was very quick to respond. I took his online class, and he answered right away. Tests were worded alittle rough but still made it through....
I took his online class and enjoyed it very much! He was very helpful and answered his emails back pretty fast. He loves what he does and has experience in the field. I would recommend him to anyone. I plan on taking him again.
Took the online class and it was awesome.
Mr. Cordaro is a great professor! He's very intelligent and he knows how to teach well. Also very willing to be helpful.
This is a great professor. The course was an on-line course MKTG 212. As an adult learner, I found his real life business experience essential for a great classes. I found instructions to be clear. Even though an internet course; students gave a sales presentation. In addition, another project was a sales manual. Professor was understanding.
I have had this professor for two courses and will take others. MGMT-221 - Small Business Management - Entrepreneurial. Prof Cordaro's life experience made this class all the more valuable. End project included writing a Business Plan. He was very understanding and helpful. Assignments are clear and book is great.
Honestly the best class I have ever taken online! and one of the best professors I have ever had! If you get the chance, definitely take one of his classes!
I took two of his classes and both times were great. He is a very understanding professor and actually cares about his students. I was going through a lot at the time and he helped me very much. You learn a lot in the class and as long as you try your best you won't fail. I recommend all his classes. I will continue to take his classes.
Prof Cordaro is wonderful! Fast responses, great feedback, clear and concise expectations and requirements. As long as you do the work and give your best effort you will get a good grade! Hoping he will teach another business class I am required to take!
This professor was very clear about assignments and class expectations. Chapter outlines, vocabulary, power point presentations, as well as related videos were great tools provided to aide in the online educational experience. He was easy to contact and responded very quickly. I would highly recommend this professor.
Favorite class! Teacher is awesome, and an easy grader. Projects are rather easy, but you really need to study for tests.
Professor Rich Cordaro was an extraordinary professor. As long as you complete the work, it is nearly impossible to fail. He was very helpful and even accepted a late assignment after I mixed up the days. If you do what you are supposed to, then he will definitely help you in return. Overall, he was one of my favorite professors.
Professor Cordaro is in my opinion the best professor at HACC on campus or virtual. I've taken 3 of his online classes and would take more if I were able to. He grades in a timely manner and responds back to you quickly! As long as you do the work and give it your best effort there is no reason you shouldn't pass.
Professor Cordaro is very cordial and shares his own personal life experiences, encouraging students to do the same. I felt like he clearly outlined everything expected, and was always willing to help. He was also very forgiving and understanding on an assignment I had to turn in a day late due to a hectic week.
Professor Cordaro was very helpful throughout the semester. He always responded to any message I sent to him and I was able to clarify any expectations without penalty. It was a pleasure to be in his class and I hope to have an opportunity to work with him in the future.
He is one of the best professors I've had. As long as you do your work (which is minimum) you will be garunteed an A. He's happy to answer any questions you may have, and he truly wants to see all of his student leave the class with a good grade. I recommend him to everyone.
Great professor. Give good feedback and is willing to help if you ask.
Read the syllabus and mark all the assignments in your calendar ahead of time. All the assignments are clear as night and day. He provides examples of work expected from you. Just do your discussion posts and quizzes, you'll be fine.
Read the book, do the quizzes. The professor doesn't pull any tricks. The syllabus covers the deadlines and what he expects of you, no ambiguity. Your grade is composed of discussion posts, quizzes, and written assignments (interview, case study, and final)
Great Professor! Answered questions timely; easy grader. As long as you do your work there is no reason not to get an A. Very nice, power points are narrated and gives examples. Would definitely take another one of his classes if I could!
AWESOME professor! If you can take Professor Cordaro def do it! He's an awesome grader, not picky at all. He makes learning fun compared to other professors I've had.
By far the best professor I have ever had. His expectations were very clear. He was always there if you needed help or feedback via email or phone. If you read and do your homework (there's a decent amount of homework & two essays), you will pass no problem!
The class was challenging and the professors assignments were designed to push the students analytical thinking. Rich was great and promptly responded when I had questions. I would highly suggest taking his courses and would not hesitate to take another class taught by him.
Amazing professor! Straight to the point, very easy guidelines, quick responses and good amount of work. I've taken 3 of his classes and wish all of my other professors were like him!
Rich's style of teaching brilliantly conducive to learning. His communication is great, his feedback is thoughtful and the workload is appropriate. I'll be actively looking to take classes with him again!
This was an online class. The class was very clear, assignments were straight forward and as long as you do the work you will get a decent grade. Class participation, quizzes, case studies, and 2 papers. Will definitely take other classes with him.
Great professor! If you do all the work it is an easy 100%
This is my second time taking a Prof Cordaro class. I have only taken his online classes, ENTR 101 and ENTR 103. He is pretty clear about the expectations. Workload is reasonable. When I fell behind on work, he extended due dates to give me time to catch up.
I would highly recommend Professor Cordaro out of all the management teachers I had. I took two of his classes. For an A in principles of management you need 486 points or more, and there is a possibility of 540 points or more. I think this is more than reasonable, and Professor Cordaro wants to see you succeed. I really enjoyed his classes.
I highly recommend Professor Cordaro to any student. I think he is a great teacher, he sincerely cares, and he wants to see you succeed. He was the best management teacher I had, and I took two of his classes. The business plan is time consuming possible 200 pts, but it is to your benefit. There is a possible 670 points, and you need 594 for an A.
Rich Cordaro's class are great. You learn so much information that can easily be applied. He is always available and when one emails him he gets back to you right away. What is expected in his class is made clear from day one. All assignments and papers are outlined with due dates at the beginning of the semester.
professor Cordar cares about his students being successful and passing. He is willing to help you make it possible to pass this class if you are having trouble or fall behind as long as you show him your willing to put in the work and if you explain your situation he seems to be very understanding.
Great professor for an online course! He provides multiple learning platforms for different kinds of learners (book, key points, narrated powerpoints, youtube videos, etc.) and realizes that people have lives outside of school. Down to earth and great response time.
Hands down, the best professor I have had at HACC. You know exactly what to expect, and he is always there to help students when needed.
Very supportive, gives good feedback.
Outstanding class. Excellent material and a perfect ration of work that requires the student to be engaged and learn the information without being overwhelmed.
Just make sure you submit everything on time and you should be good
This was my first class taken online while at HACC. Taking Professor Cordaro's class definitely makes me want to take more online classes. You know what is expected of you and when things need to be done. Every week your information for the class is posted with Powerpoints, reading in the book, discussion question for the week, and a quiz.
Great professor! Had a handful of projects but they were clear to understand. The test were easy!
Rich is one of the most caring and understanding professors I have ever had! The class its self is not easy, but he always wants his students to succeed and does his best to make that happen!
I would take more advance levels of this class, for as long as this Professor taught it.
I took his entr101 class as an extra class to fill my schedule and it was something that interested me. I think that his class was very informative and his assignments were intriguing. I definitely would recommend him. He gave very good feedback on assignments and actually cared. He engages in what you write about and is super pleasant.
Great professor. Very nice. Highly recommend taking his class.
I took Professor Cordaro for both Intro to Real Estate and Intro to Entrepreneurship. Both classes were interesting and informative. The discussions were not boring and the class was overall very helpful in understanding the information in the textbooks. I highly recommend!
He's clear about assignments and available if you need him. He gives positive feedback and participates in the discussions which is very helpful. Not a difficult class but there is a lot of information to learn. Be prepared to write 2-3 pg papers. Great professor. Enjoyed the class.
Professor Cordaro is a great teacher who truly seems to love what he does. He cares about the students and how they learn. He always ask what the students want to get out of his class and adjusts his teaching and assignments to meet the students request. Loved him as a teacher he truly made a 9:30am class worth going to!
Definitely my favorite professor so far. Will be on the lookout for his classes. He truly cares about his students. Will always ask what you want to get out of the class and will adjust to make that happen. He is very kind and always ready to help. He is an easy grader and easy to get in contact with.
I had Professor Cordaro this past semester for intro to business and he was an amazing teacher. He was always accessible outside of class and always willing to help. He truly cares about his students and I will definitely take any classes I can taught by him in the future!
Enjoyed the class. Professor was clear on assignments and had everything laid out. Would take him again!
As an adult student I appreciate how Professor Cordaro teaches and explains concepts not how a book would teach you, but what you get in real life. He is very clear in his assignments, fair in his grading and has everything in his class laid out in great detail. I've taken multiple classes with this professor and have enjoyed them all.
I was very disappointed after reading this feedback. Class lessons are not enthusiastic, reads from a PowerPoint, gives no real examples and seems confused. Gives no good feedback and grades take forever. I will not take again and don't recommend anyone to take if you want something. I wish I could get a refund, I'd like to take the class again.
Uses the textbook a moderate amount but I didn't buy it and still got an A. Really caring and likes to get feedback. Tries to bring in people to talk about their experience in the business world.
Class was not interactive and didnt learn much. Feedback was minimal and took a while to get grades. Need book. Wouldnt not recommend, didnt learn anything.
I loved Business 101 and truly believe a professor can make or break a class and grade. Professor Cordaro kept us interested by using his real world knowledge of business and real estate sales to supplement lectures. We got to listen to amazing guest speakers - you can tell he cares! Thank you for an awesome semester!!!
Professor Cordaro was probably one of the best online professors Ive had. Very clear about assignments and is always willing to help. Easy to get in contact with and is very reasonable. Enjoyed the class and would recommend
Rich Cordaro's class was one of the few college classes where the teacher got everyone involved. Open disscussions were encouraged and that really helped me out. It keeps you present for the class. I learn best from involvement, disscussions, and a teacher that allows the students to give their imput. This class included all of those things.
Great caring professor. A lot of points throughout the class, and well given lectures
Prof. Cordaro is the best professor I've had for an online class. He's very caring about his students and his assignments are straightforward and pretty easy to complete. He has quizzes and discussion board posts weekly with a few short writing assignments in-between. His final is also an essay. Great professor. I would definitely take him again.
Prof. Cordaro made this class fun! This was my first online class and he made it simple. If you ever had a question he was very responsive. He made me excited to learn. Everything is laid out in detail. I would def. recommend!
Imagine having Michael Scott as your business professor--but he actually knows what he is talking about. Mr. Cordaro genuinely cares about his students and his quirky charm is aimed to keep you engaged and entertained. His classes implement real life knowledge and won't be the one you regret paying for.
I'm not a native English speaker so I study and work extra. The thing I like about in this class is you can work on your activities earlier. The professor let you view ahead of time the activities you need to do so you can work on it earlier to do your activities. Yes you do need to participate in every discussion and I recommend to take the class
He is very nice and everything is laid out. Easy quizzes of 20 questions each week
Professor Cordaro is really nice person. He will always want your thoughts on how to make the class interesting. He cares about the students. His quizzes are online and he gives a decent amount of time to complete it. If you do all your work then you will get a good grade in his class.
Rich was is an excellent professor and is very knowledgeable about Entrepreneurship. His class was very straightforward, informative, and engaging. Rich is genuinely interested in and supportive of the success of his students.
Took his class twice for my Business Studies degree in two Entre classes. Both were extremely fruitful. If you want to grasp a good understanding of how business works he does well. Would retake again and again. 10/10
i enjoyed taking his class. he was an awesome teacher and gave great feed back to any paper or project that is done. makes you feel like he actually took the time to read your paper. work load was just perfect not too much or not enough either. he is fair when it came to grading and provided a lot of feedback.
Great professor and teaches the class very well!!
During this semester not only did my grandmother pass away but we also bought our first home so my head was not always in the books like it should have been. Rich has always been so understanding of the situations at hand and has been so helpful throughout the whole semester!
This class opened my eyes to so much. I now have a better understanding of the path I want to go down in the business world, and I would like to thank professor Coradro for that. He is an awesome teacher who cares about his students and only wants to see them succeed. 100 percent recommend taking one of his courses!!
Learned a lot, easy to understand assignments
He is a great professor, he always tries to let his student learn real experience from business as much as he can.
The course was semi difficult because there were a lot of things you have to keep track of. You have to be willing to work every couple days on different assignments. The assignments are well written you just have to give a good amount of time to complete every single assignment. You can always email Mr. Rich and he gets back to you quick. You will
Wonderful Professor he will do anything to help out.
Rich is very insightful and open to discuss all things business. He is engaging and I genuinely attended his classes bc I like his character. You could get away with not attending but I felt his lectures were very beneficial and applicable to life. His exams are pretty easy and open book online. He likes student feedback throughout the class.
Professor Cordaro was very thorough. Information was great if you ever want to start your own business.
I loved being able to learn with feeling like I could fail! He always pushed us to fail in order to succeed. Always started the class with inspirational quotes and also invited speakers that really helped me. Definitely not a hard grader, he just wanted to you pass with knowledge! HIGHLY recommend taking him!
Professor Cordaro does a great way teaching his students the way of Business. The assignments he assigns are really helpful and the guest speakers are one of the good things he has also because it makes you intake of how anyone can start their own business. I recommend taking his class!
He really cares about your time and education. He wants you to succeed! Super nice guy. There are a lot of interesting guest speakers as well for you to understand the real world and business. He also responds to your questions and emails quickly. I would take his class again.
Discussions and quizzes every week, straight from the power-points that he posts for every chapter. He also posts videos of him narrating the power points which was helpful easy grading as long as criteria for assignments are met. Textbook was helpful but not used much. Hard to get a response outside of class.
This is the class to take for getting to know business! The book is mandatory, but Professor Cordaro lays everything out really well. Hes approachable and down to earth. Very straightforward and inspirational! The semester flew by with guest speakers and class discussions that made it fun!
If you want to learn more about business or life choose this class, professor Rich is a great teacher and help you find your purpose
Professor Cordaro is easily one of the best professors at HACC. As long as you show up and keep up with the work every week, an A is easily achievable. Online quizzes every week based off the textbook, other assignments sprinkled throughout, a project done throughout the semester, and a final essay. Easy grader. Very glad I took this class.
Classes are easy, but informative. Just make sure you do the quizzes and the assignments, which are pretty easy and all done online. Didnt have any exams, so completing the assignments are vital. He would bring in guest speakers almost every week, which were very inspiring and motivational. Overall, great professor.
Best professor ever. He provides clear grading outlines and is willing to help with prompt responses.
I actually took ENTR-101 with this professor, and he was great! He gave good feedback, and was an easy grader. Weekly quizzes and discussion to keep up with, and a few writing assignments. I would definitely take this class again!
Professor Cordaro is a good person, he is very professional and help a lot. He always give ways for you successful in the future. I woud take class with him always.
I took Rich over the summer for transfer credits to Penn State. I am an engineering taking business for the first time. However, after starting the class, I found that the class was very interesting. At the end when encountering a problem with the final timing, the professor was remarkably flexible with the final 2 assignments and final grade.
By far one of the best professors I have taken. He gives clear grading criteria and gives good feedback on everything you submit. I would take Professor Cordaro again for sure.
Great professor. Always ready and willing to help. Gives good instructions and will further clarify if a student isn't understanding something. He cares about the content and quality of work done and wants to see students that care about the subject and put time and energy into the class. Please get Professor Cordaro for any class he teaches.
I recommend everyone to take this class with rich Cordaro great professor
Professor Cordaro truly impressed me with his teaching style, enthusiasm, and real-world experience. I ended up needing surgery right in the middle of our second week, and, he responded immediately, even a week later, he went out of his way to check in on my health. His teaching style reignited the passion I have for business and teaching.
Professor Cordaro was an excellent source of help throughout the semester and he was at my disposal when I needed his help right away. I couldnt ask for a better instructor for this semester.
I really enjoyed having Professor Rich. He split up the class with speakers and lectures. He created a non-stressful environment. He really cares about the students, and wants their feedback. I wish I could of had him in-person, he seems like a great professor to get to know. I highly recommend him and he loves student participation.
Great professor who is always available for questions and genuinely wants you to succeed
He was a great professor. He had guest speakers from different businesses every week. They would talk abou8t their struggles and how they got to be so successful. Richard was a great guy who is happy to help his students wherever you need.
This was a great class with a wonderful professor. He gives you great feedback. Everything is extremely well organized and he gives you plenty of time to complete the work. The information was clear and really helped you learn important business skills. I would highly recommend taking this class with a wonderful professor.
The best professor Ive ever had and hes the reason I was so successful
Great Professor! Brings in professionals and talks with the whole, shares real-life stories that are relevant to business! Overall a good general introduction to business!
I highly recommend taking this class with Professor Rich Cordaro. If you have any questions or need help, the teacher responds quickly and supports you. His class is very well detailed in D2L and provides extra tools so you can get a good performance in the class.
Professor Cordaro will probably be one of the most open and understanding professor on his own campus. His structure for his class is outstanding and it really shows he puts thought into it. He offers a lot of guest speaker zoom sessions which ultimately made class more enjoyable at nine thirty in the morning. So thank you Professor Cordaro!-Istvan
Professor Rich Cordaro instructed students' assignments very clear. He shared useful video clips and invited guest speakers who talked about real stories to make students understand the lessons thoroughly. It's a great time to study with Professor Rich Cordaro.
Professor Cordaro was an amazing professor. The work load could be a bit hefty at times especially if you are busy outside of school. He gave great feedback and truly wants to help his students succeed.
Great professor, he always gives helpful encouraging feedback on papers. He really wants his students to succeed and you can tell by how he interacts with us in discussion posts.
Professor Rich is an amazing professor and I would definitely take another one of his classes again. He is very caring and he is just understanding especially during the pandemic. He is available outside of class and is quick with his replies. He tries his best to help you but if he doesn't have the answer, he will guide you in the right direction.
Great easy online course. Course is easy to navigate and he is a very generous grader. 1-2 Discussions every week. 20 question quizzes each week and 3 major projects. Overall, great professor would take again.
If you're looking to learn a thing or two about business, definitely take this professor. Crodaro explains everything thouroughly to make sure everyone understands before moving on. Has a lot of knowledge about business, overall a great professor.
Awesome professor ! Was super kind when I didnt have a textbook and we needed to use the textbook for one of the assignments and he sent a picture instead of telling me to get a book. Hes understanding!! 10/10 would take this class again.
Rich Cordaro is indeed a true gem. If you are a student that is looking for a professor that cares, look no further than Rich. Professor Cordaro makes himself available at all times and will go the extra mile to make sure that you understand the material and that you pass the course. I wish all professors operated in this manner. Thanks Rich!
Thanks for caring about all of our success!
great teacher and easy teacher
Outgoing very easy to get along with. Also is very personable which is good.
Professor Cordaro is an excellent professor. This is my first semester at HACC and he is absolutely my favorite professor so far. I would take other classes of his, and I hope I have the opportunity to do so. He is easy to communicate with for class work and is very helpful. He is willing to open quizzes and assignments back up if you missed them.
Very encouraging professor that makes himself available. Difficult subject matter for someone who has not taken a business class before, however professor made it understandable and helped motivate through his great attitude.
An amazing teacher with a positive attitude and genuine care for his students.
Rich Cordaro is a fantastic professor. An easy A, but not in the sense where you don't learn anything. He's more involved than most professors. He really cares about his students and does his best to tailor the classes so that his students feel the most comfortable.
Cordaro is helpful and encouraging to his students. He is quick to respond when we have questions and his class is thorough. His goal is for his student to learn about the subject he is teaching and he does a good job of making this happen.
One of the best courses to take for students in the business field. Professor Cordaro and his positive impact on learning about entrepreneurship will help you gain the inspiration and creativity needed to become a successful , confident entrepreneur. He responds quickly to any questions and gives the most positive feedback on assignments.
I took his Business 101 class online during the summer semester. He was amazing! If you ask him a question, you get an answer back very quickly. He was very thorough in all of his assignments, you knew what grade you had from the first assignment. I would recommend taking him for any business class.
Professor Rich is great. He is super involved and leaves detailed responses to every assignment. This was a great class!
Highly recommended.
Professor Cordaro was amazing to have as a professor. I have taken several of his classes and have learned so much throughout the years. He has a really good understanding and real world knowledge of how business works. I have implemented the knowledge I have received first hand in my own side business. He also was very flexible with military!
Professor Cordaro was my favorite professor this semester. Summer 2021.
Professor Cordaro was my favorite professor this semester! I would definitely recommend taking his class. Very laidback and understanding.
To be honest, I have no words to describe how great this class was, I definitely loved it, it is the best class I have taken, I have several semesters taking online classes, but this has been the best of all, it helped me so much in my personal growth already discover more about me. I would recommend it 100%. The teacher is very special, Entr101.
He is a fair professor with clear due dates for all of the assignments and is very willing to help out whenever needed. He has a strong background in Business which brings an extra element to the class that he can relate things and events going on currently. He has a lot of knowledge in his field and I learned a lot from him.
I highly recommend taking a course with Rich Cordaro! He's great! Weekly discussion posts, weekly quizzes, a few article abstracts, and some projects throughout the semester, all do-able if you are organized and stay on schedule. Rich is organized and has the course structured nicely. Rich is always available for questions and help too.
Great informative class! This was an interesting subject, I learned so much about entrepreneurship. I hope to put this lesson to good use in the future. Thank you Professor Cordaro!
I enjoyed this class so much. We used Tina Seelig's 'Creativity Rules' as a textbook. The professor was flexible with deadlines and gave extra credit opportunities for students who needed it. The assignments were thoughtful and really added value to my life. He shared details about himself and it is clear he cares about students and their learning.
I really enjoyed this course; it's not about passing tests but rather learning about yourself and your strengths and how-to walk-through life with a positive attitude and be open new possibilities and seeing opportunities everywhere around you. professor Rich is very inspirational and gives great feedback on all as and is always available.
This course is about learning about yourself and your strengths and walking through life with a positive attitude and being open to new possibilities and recognizing opportunities everywhere around you. Professor Rich gives great feedback, is always available and is very positive and engaging.
Great online class. Very interactive and beneficial.
I thought Professor Cordaro was knowledgeable about business. It was refreshing because we had constructive discussions everyday about business management. The work load was a couple hours out of class each week and not to difficult, but still challenging.
The professor is very responsive and understanding. there was a few times I needed extensions due to personal fanily issues and he allowed that. he responds back very quickly and that is a plus for me. his work is very understandable. I wish I can take his course for the rest of my time at HACC… honest opinion. Tawanna Baker
I highly recommend taking this course with Rich Cordaro! Very well organized. Intro videos for each chapter. Always available & responsive. There are weekly discussion posts, weekly quizzes, few business article summaries, & a project, but he gives more than adequate time for completion. You can work ahead. Stay on schedule & you will succeed!
Amazing Professor. I am taking his BUS 101 class again in summer and I am beyond excited. Easy and clear class to follow. Video lectures were very easy to understand. Overall great class!
Really good feedback and great interaction
Great feedback and very interactive online.
My first semester in college with Professor Cordaro was AMAZING. He made the transition from high school to college easy. Not only is he very caring and always extending a helping hand, but he gives clear instructions and great feedback on EVERY assignment. I have a lot of respect for Professor Cordaro and I hope to take other courses he teaches.
Richard is a very good professor, he always wants us to be encouraged and to be at the top of the class. Kind and helpful person.
Professor is always encouraged the students and ready for help anytime . Kind and humble person.
The best professor i have had so far in my college experience. He is very understanding and personable. He wants you to do well and succeed. He will work with you on assignments.
He is one of the best professors I have had so far. Very understanding and wants you to succeed.
I would like to say I completely enjoyed the semester with learning and expecting these kind of class atmosphere again.
Professor Cordaro is one of my favorite professors. His assignments are well structured and he creates an environment that makes it easy to learn the material. His class isn't stressful but at the same time you can't get a good grade without adequately working for it, and the projects are fun. He genuinely cares about every student succeeding.
Prof Rich stands out as being one of the those professors that really cares@ He is always reaching out to students with feedback (almost all of it positive) and making sure they are doing okay. His passion spills over onto the lectures and things that are normally boring seem a lot less so. Overall would 100% recommend him to anyone on the fence.
It was a self-paced class but the professor always gave great feedback. Class is set up to give you ideas and inspiration to become an entrepreneur and Prof Rich definitely adds to this effect.
I love this class, it was very helpful for me, I love the teacher's organization, the class is very participatory and it is not that difficult. I would choose this teacher over and over again. a great leader.
The course is laid out in the beginning. It is very organized and easy to follow. The material is very engaging and informational. He did not use a traditional textbook but rather a book and it was an easy read. He also uses videos from Ted Talks to get you engaged and see other examples. He is always available through email if you have questions.
Following along in the class is very easy, homework is simple, the textbook reads easily, NO quizzes or tests. Class is set up more as a discussion, due dates are consistent. Responds quickly through email. The best thing is he ALWAYS gives you feedback on EVERY assignment. It was very motivating to see that he cares so much.
He is a great professor. I take his class during summer. He feed back every discussion. I would take his class again.
He is very helpful when you need help.
One of the best professor I ever had. He give you really good feed back. And even reply to your emails on weekend sometime. I will be taking him for sure.
In every beggining of the week he would have a video that would tell us what we would be doing and what assignments we would have. He also gave good feedback to our discussions and gave us a good amount of time to get our work completed for each week.
One of my favorite professor. He takes care of students very well. I am taking ENTR 101 and ENTR 221 with him. Both class were simple and easy because of his study methods. I will definitely take him again in future. 10/10
I recommend everyone to take this class if really want to exit with positivity.
The comments here are true! Understanding. Inspirational! Light course load. 10/10 would recommend
It's a very good class for people who are just starting college or are in high school looking to take a college class.
If your taking Business 101 introduction to business you need to take Professor Cordaro's course. His course is great. There was a weekly discussion post and quiz. His instructions are very clear and is very good at responding to emails and being able to contact. He is also very caring and wants his students to succeed.
Do not hesitate to take a course with Professor Cordaro. He made business 101 a very enjoyable class. He did not assign too much work.

Professor Cordaro was a fantastic teacher. He genuinely cares for his students and always offers a helping hand. He gives great feedback. I always felt encouraged by his kind words. I would absolutely take a class with him again, and he pushed us to be the best we could be but was easygoing and very very kind. 100/10!
This professor was very helpful to me because he was willing to stay after class to offer extra advice and help that i required with a subject I might be struggling with. I would highly recommend that you take a class with him as your professor because he makes learning a lot easier which is what everyone wants.
Professor Cordaro allowed layed out a well-paced program that helped me to absorb great information and change my world view through the rest of my life.

He responded promptly through email and included positive feedback I learned SO MUCH from his class that I'm incorporating into my entrepreneurial business (: TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!! (:
Professor was fair and helpful, defiantly wants to see students succeed. Professor's class was "blended" so attendance could be online or in person which was extremely convenient as an adult student with a busy life outside of school. The professor does not however accept late work, be aware, due dates are non-negotiable, which is understandable.
He is an Amazing professor who is very inspirational and wants his students to become successful. He gives you all the tools you need to invest in who you are! I 10/10 recommend his class for anyone going into the business field.
super easy class
Professor Cordaro helped me become the best student I could be. I found myself challenged during the course, and came out confident in knowing I can do well in this field. 100% recommend.
Professor Rich was incredibly kind and patient. Always strives to inspire others and writes encouraging comments on work. He responds to emails right away. He would take time after class to discuss any issues with an assignment or ask for advice on a potential career path. You won't regret taking this class with him, I guarantee it.
Professor Cordaro was great. I took his class online and he went through each chapter and explained with real life examples that kept the class interesting. Weekly discussion and quiz but if you pay attention in class you will do fine. Assignments were quick, easy, and relevant and he gives you good feedback. Recommend!
Professor Cordaro was great, he always provides good honest feedback and his ENTR 101 course contains interesting information that makes you want to complete the work and complete it well!
I loved this class, it really made you think of yourself as more of a business owner, and This class gives you the right mindset to be able to look at things with that entrepreneurial mindset. Cordaro, made you think about what it means to be a potential business owner. Its a great introduction course.
I took this as my online class at HACC asa dual enrollment student and I am so glad he was my Professor. You can tell he really cares about everyone in the class and if you ever need help he makes sure you know he is there to help at any time. I would reccomend anyone take Professor Cordaros classes.
He is an amazing professor. He really does his best to give you a deep and detailed review of your work. I love this class.
Thank you professor for teaching me this semester. I'm glad to take this class with you.
It was a pleasure to work with Mr Cordaro. His student-centered approach encourages students to cultivate critical thinking skills and change students perspectives when it comes to virtual courses. Mr Cordaro is available for students, he is kind, and always happy to help students. I encourage all students to get into his classes.
I would defiantly take a class with this professor again. His work was very manageable and it was enjoyable. The class was easy to navigate and he was always available to answer questions.
It was a easy class with not a lot of work and no test. I would recommend.
Great professor, a little bit of death by PowerPoint for business 101, gives great feedback, very knowledgeable about anything business related.
Professor is so nice. He is very kind and caring, always answers what you need. He is also comfortable teaching. And his class is very hard to fail. He focuses more on work done before dedline, there's no late work in his class.I will choose him again if I have a chance.
very good prof I had two different subjects with him in one semester one is entr101 and re102, he cares about us doing the work, he sends reminders, his lessons are easy and I would take his classes again a thousand times.
I had the privilege of being a student of Professor Cordaro, and can confidently say that it was an enriching experience. He embodies all the qualities of an outstanding educator and is a shining example of what a college professor should be. truly an exceptional educator, highly recommend his class to anyone seeking a rewarding experience.
Very interactive teacher! Wish I could take him twice!
Professor Cordaro's BUS101 is a gem! The lectures are engaging, and he breaks down complex topics with real-world examples. Paired with resources like unstuck ai, the class is manageable. Definitely recommended if you want a helpful, caring professor.
Professor Cordaro is an exceptional professor. He really shows that he wants his students to succeed and is more than happy to help in anyway he can to make sure you reach your goals. Work is graded by participation and overall effort which really gives the room to take in the information instead of just memorizing and forgetting.
I strongly recommend Professor Cordaro! His assignment criteria are as clear as day, and he gives you positive feedback for all the assignments you submit. He and I had some issues with the grade book. I messaged him about the problems, and they were fixed in a prompt manner. Such an inspiring and caring man!
I took professor Cordaro for my first ever college course. Does extra-credit. He wants you to succeed. He wants our input on how to make the class better and genuinely cares. The workload is easy to manage, and he is always available for questions. He does not take late work, unless there is something going on that you previously communicated.
Super chill class. Homework is not hard, and he gives second chances. One of my easiest classes.
This was my first time having Rich Cordaro as my professor and it's safe to say he made it a great and easy class. He always gave feedback for every discussion, was quick to grade, and overall had an amazing attitude.
I would suggest taking BUSI101 with Mr. Cordaro. I Learned a lot from this course not only about the textbook but about life. As a general ed course, it exposed me to different opportunities I didn't quite know existed. We also had guest speakers come in that were respected in their field, and poured into our class, their experiences and wisdom.
I took Mr. Cordaro's business 101 class. It is an extremely organized class, and you know exactly what needs to be done for work each week. He likes to ask us questions, and he also has a lot of good knowledge from his own experiences. He also brought in many guest speakers who shared their experiences with us as well.
Professor Cordaro is one of my favorite professors I've had this semester. His class is super informative but the work is easy and straightforward. He provides a lot of help and extra content. Almost every week, he brought in a guest speaker with real-life experience which was super inspirational and informative. I would take his class again.
If your even remotely interested in business then I can't recommend Rich enough! This class is great, this is the best intro into business that you can get.
Great class. I can't recommend Richard enough.
Great Prof :D Would recommend to another 100%, lots of wisdom and knowledge to be gained from Mr. Cordaro.
I struggled at first because of personal things and he allowed me to catch up. He was fair and understanding. I would take another course with Rich.
Professor Cordaro was awesome!, I would definitely take his class again. Very helpful throughout the semester and always responded to every question.
He discuss the main idea of the topic and give the example of each topic from different videos. his idea of using guest speaker to motivate student was great. I loved his class so much
Professor Cordaro is kind, understanding and extremely experienced. His ENTR 101 course was one of my favorite college classes I have ever taken. I can not recommend his courses enough.
I highly recommend this professor. He is exceptionally caring and helpful, always available to provide support and guidance. I would certainly take him again.
I took the online Intro to Entrepreneurship class, Professor Cordaro was very kind and helpful. The class is easy to navigate and understand and I highly suggest taking a class with this professor.
If you are looking for a business class, this is not for you. This felt more like a pop-psychology class rather than a business class.
He was a great professor to have for my first semester returning to college for my second degree, a great way to dip my toes back into course work. He made most of the assignments available right away so I was able to get ahead with coursework when I was anticipating a busy week at work or had plans during a week.
He is very reasonable. He is one of the best professor out there.
The professor employs a clear and systematic teaching approach, communicating course objectives and necessary steps. They clarify the purpose of activities and provide thorough directions, enhancing understanding of expectations. The professor promotes engagement and ensures smooth navigation of the course structure.
I appreciate the genuine interest this professor shows in the learning journey. His support and interactive approach makes the experience more engaging than many other online classes. He emphasizes real-world applications and the chance to express ideas about business improvement strategies.
Professor is great!
He is a good teacher, I've learned so much with learning about how to build my own business.
A great teacher who is always willing to help his students. Creates a welcoming environment. I would 100% take classes of his in the future.
Intro to Business was my first class at HACC with Mr. Cordaro. His teaching style really helped me understand every topic discussed. He was very approachable and caring. He learned my name, along with other students in the class. He taught every lesson strongly and clearly! I would recommend this class to anyone.
He is a very kind and helpful professor who genuinely cares. The class work is very simple and easy, and you have plenty of time to complete it.
I really enjoyed the class; it was easy, and he was really nice and understanding. I didn't have a lot of problems with him or the work, as long as you do your work on time you'll be fine.
He is very understanding and will guide you with assignments if you need help and make to let him know before your absent so he could show you the upcoming assignments
He is very understanding and supportive. He explains things clearly and gives helpful feedback. He also creates a comfortable classroom environment where students can express their ideas freely.
Professor Cordaro is my favorite professor. He greats us with a smile and a good morning every day. He runs a casual class, and it is not stressful at all. He goes through a power point and discusses the topic. He also gets us involved by asking many questions to keep us engaged and to help us understand the material very easily.
He is very easy going and explains things in a clear way.
The class is overall really easy. He knows a lot about business and real estate. There are no tests and he is very clear about the course.
He is a very good teacher and makes the lessons easy to learn and understand. He also is very easy to talk to in and outside of class and easy to reach.
Great professor, very easy to work with. Understanding and willing to work with you through adversity. Highly recommend any class he offers!
best professor, very easy class professor Cordaro made the class enjoyable, the workload was manageable, and the lecture were easy to follow
I truly appreciated the professor's teaching in this course. Their expertise and engaging approach made complex concepts clear and accessible. I learned a great deal and feel better prepared in this subject area thanks to their guidance. Overall, it was a valuable and enriching learning experience.
Great class, I learned a lot, but the work also wasn't too hard. Would definitely recommend Professor Cordero, this was my favorite class.
He is one of the best professors that I have had. He is just an amazing professor. He is caring and is whiling to help you out when you need it. I have never had a problem with him and if I had a question about an assignment, he was always ready to help. I would 100% recommend you take his classes if interested in business or entrepreneurship.
He was one of my favorite professors i had this semester. My family went thru a very difficult time and he was very caring, understanding, and above all hes a great professor. I will be taking another class with him next semester because I really learned a lot from this course and I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for a great semester 5 stars!
Honestly this professor does not have hard assignments more so assignments that are to challenge you about yourself. He was always on top of grading and responds very quickly. I even accidently missed an assignment (I just did not see it I have no idea how) and even allowed me to email him it right away and did not take any points off.
His teaching style is clear and straightforward. As long as you follow the instructions, you will not struggle. He responds quickly, gives helpful feedback, and grades fast. I would take his class again and highly recommend it. The course really pushes you to think outside the box.
Rich Cordaro has been my favorite professor throughout this course. His assignments are clear and truly push you to think beyond your usual boundaries. He provides a lot of interesting and useful supplementary materials that I know I will revisit from time to time. I would gladly choose this course again.
Very good professor... everything was clearly explained in the assignment instructions, and only had to contact him once about something, and he got back to me quickly, and resolved the issue I was having. Even going through the strike, he communicated well and kept assignments up unlike my other professors. Take his class for an easy A!
Rich is a great guy, genuinely passionate of the subject. Class was self taught, but he was always there and helpful when questions came up. Topic is not too difficult and you probably will learn stuff you will take the rest of your life. Overall 10/10 would recommend. Great things happen when you start with a positive attitude. - Rich Cordaro
This professor is amazing, I mean it! I had issues with getting into dual enrollment, and all the classes were already full. I messaged Mr. Cordaro and he granted an override. He is always here to help you! His class is very educational yet laid back. He always checks in on his students and has amazing lecture videos. Overall, take his class!!!
He is a great teacher with excellent teaching and motivating skills. I like his way of communication to the students and delivering lectures. He is simply awesome.
Was the best teacher I learned lot of how to do a business and how to start.
He is a great professor and is one of my favorites. He always has a smile on his face and is reading to teach. He usually goes through his presentation covering all of the required topics. He does a create job at conveying the material in a clear and easy to understand manner. He is a great professor, and I would 100% take him again.
