This was a fun class. I really enjoyed the professor's non-traditional way of teaching the course. Istead of a final, there was a group project that turned out to be really fun. It made me realize many things about myself and my view on friendship (the project was to make a Code of friendship). I highly recommend Prof. Cerasoli.

As a professor, Cerasoli is amazing, there is a great deal of information to learn from him where he was a former inspector general of Mass and house representative in the state of Mass. If you want to take an ethics course or history course you will not be disappointed with this professor, you WILL learn a great deal from him.

For a student not having an initial interest in American Gov, Professor Cerasoli helped me to understand the importance of knowing the history of our country in regards to the laws derived from the United States Constitution. Not only was every topic that was covered in class explained thoroughly, real life stories helped bring it all to life

Initially wasn't going to write a review, but I really enjoyed this class and the professor. He made the subject more interesting than it would normally be. Very even handed approach to all the crap that is going on in US at the present time.

Definitely one of the best Professors by far. The lectures were thorough, interesting, and memorable. He managed to make complex topics simple to understand and memorize. He is a great listener and gives honest feedback. Genuinely cares for his students. Wish I was able to take another course with him. The best!
