Terrific professor who really enjoys teaching. Shows concern and empathy for students, conducts interesting lectures, offers challenging-yet-fair assignments [takehome quizzes]. Sometimes gets off track with personal stories, but an overall great teacher.

Very easy teacher. All Tests are take home multiple choice. Lectures get boring, no attendance list 1/2 the time. Nice and talkative, goes off on his personal life, shows concern. Easy A.

Very Nice guy and he knows his stuff. Warning lectures will put you to sleep and he will talk about his dogs for an entire class. But he gives take home tests! Very very easy.

Great Professor

easy A!!!!

Great professor, nice guy. Take him every chance you get.

Awesome Professor. Lectures are clear and informative. Wants students to do well and he is caring. Take him. You will enjoy History.

In my opinion you would have to be mentally retarded not to get an A in his class. He gives take home tests..... MULTIPLE CHOICE TAKE HOME TESTS...... and as if that werent enough he gives them to you 2 weeks in advance!!!!!! Hes easy to follow, great lectures mixed with funny stories. Take him!!

Easiest teacher ever. He's very friendly and wants everyone to pass.

Great professor, learned alot in his class.

This prof. is great,very clear teaching.He really wants you to learn and get an understanding of the course. I HIGHLY reccomend this prof. to anyone that has to take a course that he teaches.

This guy only gives take home tests !!!!! even the Final exam is TAKE HOME !!!

This professor was great. He is very understanding and is dedicated to what he does. I wouldnt say the class was a breeze, but he does make it alot easier on you so you do well. Definitly try to get into his class

What can I say but OPEN BOOK TAKE HOME TEST! I loved this teacher. Really school shoul not be about memorizing. I learned a lot and got A"S both times. AWESOME BEST TEACHER

The previous student who rated this Prof. must be nuts ! He probably cut class more than he attended. This Prof. classes are ALIVE, ALWAYS INTERESTING. He blends the past with the present.You will really learn a lot. His exams can be hard, but he always takes time to explain. Definitely take him. If you work you will get a good grade.

he made history class fun!!

One Of BestProf's ever!Recommended ByAnother prof. TapingDoesn't come out well.Listen intently in class or miss his awesomely dramatic low voice.TakeGoodClassNotes,write fast,rewrite later-it'll appear in a different way on exams.You're in for a treat!But better keep up w/the reading,or index&internet searches failYou whenPapers due.TimeIn=TimeOut.

best prof i have ever had and im taking him again for the first part of the course if u want a good grade, and stay awake in history hes a must

Nice guy. He's all over the place but it's ok cause the tests are take home. So you can sit back and enjoy all the "smut" (as he calls it) of Western Civilization. No work load. Patience required.

Awesome!!! I love him, he is funny smart and understanding. Take home tests, he doesn't take attendance...but...he knows if you are not there so don't be fooled! Says "smut" and "little nippers" alot! Highly recommended!

Very funny, entertaining, great teacher. He keeps history interesting and very enjoyable - just the way I like it. Take home tests make life easier, but make no mistakes and pay attention on his class, and you will have the answers in your notes. Have fun, it is the best history class you can take. I'm taking him next sem. again!

I missed just about every other class with him and it barely affected my grade. Take home tests are a little bit hard if you don't pay attention, but hey, they're take home tests. I would just look up the answers on the internet when I was stuck. A really sweet guy, but his class can sometimes become a little boring.

It dont get much better then this guy. He loves History, and will get you to do the same. He acts out certain events which are histerical. Tests are hard but are take home, and if you bring in a dog treat for his dogs he'll bump your grade(no joking). Great teacher, you will learn alot, and you will laugh alot.

I was surprised by the previous rater's comments.....This Professor really knows his subject....His lectures are alive and well prepared. He is informative as well as entertaining. I will take him again. One of the best. History was fun for the first time. D'ont be fooled. He knows who does the work and who doesn't . I learned that.

Prof Anzalone is the sweetest guy! He is brilliant & really knows his stuff.True,a bit scattered,but if you listen to him, he will teach you a lot. He is light hearted & pleasant & tries to make learning a good experience.Many would not get thru the course if not for him and his take home tests.I liked him & would take another class with him.

He is the best!! Makes Western Civilization an breeze. Took his class during the summer and he made it interesting considering it was a summer class and nobody wanted to be there. Brilliant man and FUNNY. Take home test.. No HOMEWORK..need I say more...

Totally loved this guy! Took him for both western civ classes, he rocks! excellent teacher, easy, funny, has all take home test! show up & you pass

I took this professor for both His 101 and 102. Best professor at Suffolk by far. DO NOT BUY THE TEXT BOOK, he gives the answers to the take home tests/finale in class but you don't even need to listen if you find him boring just use google. I love his stories, he relates history to his own life

He is one of the best professors at Suffolk. He's funny and very helpful. I'm taking him again next semester for His 102. He's great!!:)

He goes off and starts telling stories during a lecture, but his tests are open book..even the final. he's eay and willing to help and offers extra credit..take his class

This is the best professor in the school dont need ur txt book he knows all his info not stict on attendence take home test and no H.w we need more professors like him 1 of a kind im going to take him again!!!! highly recomm.

This teacher is a very knowledgeable historian. He loves history and makes it interesting for all. His test are take home and you would have to be benighted not to get a good grade.

No words can ever say how fantastic this Professor is. I hope God Blesses more students with him. He is one of the most inteligent people I have ever met,he taught me more in one summer then I ever know about American History. In my book he is a A+.

Wow...Trust me when i say take him for History. 3 exams take home, extremly smart and funny. Easy going Prof no stress at all. Seriously!

Easy A. Only two tests, both take home. Teaches history like it's a story, which makes it easier for people like me who are not great at memorizing names and dates. My only complaint is that sometimes he goes off on long tangents about his personal life, but if you want an A, definitely take his class.

Very knowledgable on the subject. Will keep you interested in class with stories to help remeber the material, and some that are just interesting. Helpful and kind.

Love this man. Stress free class. Take home tests. No papers. I took him for 101, 102 and 104 and got 3 A's. When something works - stick with it!! Very sweet & caring man.

Awesome guy , so easy just sit through his class and you will get a good grade. No homework , no essays and all tests are take home. Very sweet man , try to get for all your HIS requirements

he's such a nice teacher. his test are very easy too. taking him for HIS102 for spring 2015 .. easy A

great professor and all tests are take home, including the final. loves to talk about when he was a kid but he has a great sense of humor.

Easy A! Multiple choice take home tests are only grading criteria. Lectures are long and torturous. Attendance not necessarily mandatory since he never takes it. Funny guy always talking about Mrs. Fidditch and the change in the pocket??

All you have to do is show up to class. Very easy-going professor EASY A!! He gives two take home tests and thats it. I am taking him this spring one less class I have to worry about. Take him if you have the chance!! Boring but easy A.

Believe it or not, it's actually hard to get anything less than an A in this class. Just take this man lol you won't be sorry at all.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Test were take home and not hard at all! Honestly would've gotten an A in the course regardless but I asked him if I can do an extra credit and he allowed me to do an essay on any history topic of my choice. He is awesome, understanding, and will work with you!

Very knowledgeable and has a lot of history to share; it's almost like listening to your grand father telling stories. Awesome Professor. It's very hard to fail his class.

A person below wrote about his radiation impacting grades, ignore that foolishness. Im taking his course right now and just got an A on my first of three TAKE HOME EXAMS that determine your grade for the semester. Whoever gets a bad grade in any of his courses must not have access to ummmmm GOOGLE. Take him hes well-traveled.

EASY A... TAKE HIM... super nice person, he cares about his students and has a lot of funny stories to tell the class. 3 take home exams, no papers. Just show up to class and have fun. A person below wrote about his radiation impacting grades, ignore that, there's no possible way not to get an A in his class.

I love Professor Anzalone. One of the best Professor's! Show up, participate and you get an A!

So easy! 2 take home tests and a paper on any topic for extra credit!! Would take him again!!! Easiest A

This was the easiest A I ever got. His lectures were boring because I'm not that interested in history, but he would tell stories that were hilarious. Never took attendance. Two take home tests and THATS IT. Don't buy the textbook because you won't need it.

Best professor I've had so far, I wasn't crazy about the class itself considering I had it at 8am and I was always half asleep, but he's a fair grader and barely assigns any work. 1000000% recommend him for western civilization 1.

All tests were take home including the midterm and final. No homework at all. Boring lectures. Super nice guy, wants the best for everyone. Funny, but tells weird life stories. Easy class overall.

By far the easiest class I've taken at Suffolk. I almost felt bad how easy he made this course. 3 exams and they were all take home. Was able to find everything online and got A's on all of them. Talked about giving us a paper but never even did it. His lectures are sooo boring, but honestly he's a really sweet old man so I got over that. Great guy

Great professor. He can talk for days, if youre someone who loses interest within 5 minutes. DO NOT take his classes that are 3 hours long. Hes sweet and sometimes very funny. The easiest professor i have took. He grades you only on 2 exams which are both take homes, and given pretty much a month in advance prior the due date. Loved the class

Highly recommend! All tests were take home and given weeks in advance. He doesnt take attendance either!! Dont bother buying the text book!

I'm not usually a fan of history classes but I really enjoyed his class. It's a little distracting when he plays with the change in his pocket but his tests are all take-home and he gives you a lot of time to do it, and you don't have to buy the textbook. As long as you pay attention it should be an easy A.

Hes a nice guy, test are take him easy A if you try hard for test. Also he does takes attendance without anyone realizing so be careful with that got an A+ in 101, B+ in 102. Easy class not recommended if you a history major.

Good chance at an PASSING grade

Awesome

I finish his course on Wednesday but overall, he was boring but a great guy since everything is take home!

Although hes boring hes also passionate about what he teaches! All the tests are take home!

easy class and simple to understand. Prof Anzalone is a funny guy and talks through the whole class. never used the textbook so dont need to buy it

I Always hated history but he made class Interesting and very easy !! Hes very straight forward with the test , would definitely take him again

The best history professor, very hilarious which makes the class interesting and enjoyable. He makes sure every student understands the material, plus stays after class to help out any student struggling.

three take home tests. lectures the whole class so pay attention. he also manages to not make it boring. well respected professor. easy a.

Professor Anzalone definitely wants you to pass. His classes feel very casual and are mostly just composed of listening to him lecture. He's a funny guy who tries to make you laugh while covering history. I never really had to use the textbook. If you're paying attention or well just even trying to pass/do well, then you will succeed in his class.

Was a good teacher, homeworks where short answer based not hard at all just had to read and youll be fine, super nice and understanding

He makes his lectures easy and classwork manageable. He provides us with notes and rarely a few handouts. He's one of the best professors that I choose. He is funny at times and fair when it comes to grading assignments.

The class itself is very easy and broken down into simple take home exams. He's a very generous kind professor, and there's usually no homework. Also the textbook isn't required although on syllabus it says it is…. Overall a good class and professor

His classes are fairly casual, there is not much work to do besides take home exams. His lectures are at times interesting when he brings up stories or jokes. Has a traditional style of teaching so there isn't much technology use in his class. You are meant to have a textbook, however I never used it and was fine(just go on google)
