Prof.Mancia is easy if you do your essays on time when he asks you to do it. He will explain you what your mistakes are. Mr. Mancia understands the "minorities" because he is a minority himself and english wasn't his first language. So he worked his way up

I would definitely recommend any student taking English 100 or 101 to choose Mancia as their instructor. He is extremely paitient and is a fair grader. Be aware that his lectures sometimes go off topic, and you sometimes wanna say "IDC". However he gives great energy and is always willing to help you with assignments.

Mr. Mancia is a good, fair, understanding teacher. If you want to play, just stay at home because this teacher does not play. He is strict but fair. He explains to us what he wants and when does he want it regarding the work. He also makes us laugh because his class is not always work work. He is a challenge, but not possible. Luv Mr. Mancia!

Be prepared to write and analyze at a *college level*. This professor has the course settings so that when you view your grades you can also view the median grade of everyone else in the class for assignments. I did well, but the median grades for each assignment were LOW... which is fair. The quality of writing I saw from my fellows was poor.

I took this class asynchronously. Professor Mancia made sure we were able to meet at least once a week despite being asynchronous. Super late to grade our work, but let us know so we could talk 1-1 to know where we stand. 6 essays in total, 3 timed, one 5-page, another 10 pages (continuation of the second essay). Read a novel, it was a good read.

Do not be afraid to ask Professor Mancia questions. Even though his class attendance was not mandatory i would still recommend joining in on the zoom classes so you can ask him questions. You can contact him at any time and he is quick to respond. After not taking classes for 7 years this was definitely a good class to return to. Highly Recommended

Aside from the assignments there are a few essays, and Mancia explains them thoroughly and clearly. Very respectful and a nice person too. Highly recommend.

Mancia is very late grading and gives no clear explanation on a low grade. I believe Mancia gave me a poor grade on an essay because he didn't like that my opinion was opposite his. No advise given on how to improve and emails were ignored. My score and grade was given after the class was over. Not professional at all. Pick a different professor.

Very tough grader, very late on grading assignments and for a class like English 103 this is a huge disservice to students who rely on feedback for academic progression. Its been all semester and he as yet to grade at least 90% of our assignments. prepare to read and write allot, does accept late work though. My suggestion, pick another professor.

He assigns tons of work and essays. Decent grader on small stuff but very harsh on essays. Loves statistics, so include them in your writing. The worst part is he didn't grade most assignments until after the semester, so you get no feedback. No extra credit either, even when your grade is unclear. Only take him if you have no better option.
