He's a great professor. He really knows his material. However, you must be present and on time to all his classes. His trest are somewhat easy if you take notes and read.
Great Professor! Teaches well. Test are okay and he gives you all the info prior to taking test. Writing notes is very important. He seems to be bugged by tardiness. Overall is there for his student's!
The best. Cares a lot, explains everything, helps constantly, we did 9 chapters of the whole book but well, instead of rushing through it. 3 tests of 10 problems each, final is also 10. The notebook is graded with the homework, so this can lift the grade. He is an AWESOME teacher, very human. Attendance is not graded, but is important for you.
This class was so GREAT it makes you wanna slap your mama! This professor is very informative. You will learn in this class and not get bored. He interacts with all his students and helps you tremendously. Tests are easy he tells you wants on it.
I LOVED EVERYTHING SBOUT HIM AND ALSO THE CLASS. I'VE TAKEN HIM 3 TIMES JUST BECASUE I LOVED HIS TEACHING SKILLS AND RESPECTFUL ATTITUDE.
Needs a Promotion
I did the 12 week course. He give about 4 assignments every week. His test are pretty easy. He gives you 2 chances to take his test but averages the 2 scores so take the first test very seriously. 2nd test is different. He doesn't mess around with grading his material very precise. I would recommend him just do not forget assignment or bye grade.
I have taken Macroeconomics before with a different professor and failed with an F. Taking it with professor Capute I passed with an A. If you do your work read the notes listen to the lectures you will have NO problem passing he is an amazing teacher and he will change your view on economics for sure !!!
Great Professor, relates subject matter to students. Read the book, listen to the lectures, and watch the videos posted you will do fine. Professor Capute makes learning macroeconomics interesting and not intimidating at all.
The best you can get for a economics teacher at PBSC. Better chance of passing. The class takes up a lot of your time but if you listen to the lectures, skim the text, and try then you can def pass with an A. he gives extra credit on assignments as well.
ONLINE: Learned a lot. This is not a breeze by online course. You will need textbook and online component. Each lesson is 1-2 assignments, 1-2 discussions, 1 quiz. There are 4 tests. The way he asks all his questions are situational, so you have to know the info. If you are not willing to put in the work, skip this prof.
The BEST teacher ever!I took his online course. He was funny from his very first Powerpoint.It's a lot of work but all online classes are. Do the work, listen to PP, read book and you will get an easy A.He communicates clearly and grades fairly.He is an asset to PBSC, the online environment, and economics. He is a real "teacher" and cares.
Professor Capute's class is everything that a busy, working adult is looking for in an online course. The content is chock full of useful information that applies directly to the real business world. The textbook and online reading materials are current and well written. And Professor Capute's videos are bright and funny to tie it all together.:-)
I'm currently taking Macroeconomics online with Professor Capute, and so far I'd have to say that this course is great! I actually look forward to doing the assignments. He gives great feedback, and uses YouTube videos for assignments and discussion posts. It's obvious he likes making this course fun. So far so good I have and A :)
AMAZING class and professor. Was so worried about taking macro but he made it sooo easy. Honestly, not even A LOT of work and the work he did give us was easy. Take this teacher! you'll pass and wish you could take him again.
The class itself was fairly easy. There were 2 assignments per week, along with 1 discussion with 2 responces and a quiz. He was very rude when grading discussions, some were opinion based and he would insult your position. Not the nicest fella but the class wasn't too hard.
Professor CAPUTE IS GREAT!!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!
Has lots of "dad" style jokes that keep the lecture interesting.
Good teacher for macro.
Interesting class. College level writing is expected on discussions. If you are not good at writing, you will be really challenged. Book is necessary to pass tests. Lots of humor and does make class different and not the usual.
His lectures consist of him reading bullet points verbatim. You read the book to take tests yet assignments are based off of patronizing youtube videos. He doesn't respond to e-mails, his links often don't work, and it takes weeks for him to grade hw. Plus, he takes many points off of your grade over small errors. I still earned an A though.
Great Professor everything thing he goes over will be on the test and read the book it helps. Class not that easy but you will have to earn it. I got a pretty good grade in his class and im lazy.
The microeconomics class was easy with Capute. I simply can't stand him. In fact, he has many childish questions he keeps asking in class, not necessarily about the subject being discussed. He is satisfactorily knowledgeable about the course, but I find him lacking in some areas, including explanation and charisma. He also lacks intellectual rigor.
Took him online. Professor Capute made Econ a very nice experience for me. Learned a lot! He's very nice and will answer emails and help you out. Lessons due on Sunday night, each one with a not-too-bad work load. Take him and you'll learn a lot :)
Bearable. Didn't need to contact him, but the work was due every week on Sundays and most of the class did it Sat and Sun. Discussions are necessary, quizzes are a bit tough to work with but hey, it's just another class. Can't make up missing assignments and assignments can be pretty long so have time to spare if you procrastinated !
Loved him. He gives average amount of work. It was a little more at the start of the semester before easing off. His intro to business class exams were VERY VERY hard. But i got high scores on everything else. Macroeconomics was very easy. He grades fair. I got a lot of 105/100 so he gives extra credit if you write a lot and deserve it. Helpful guy
Professor Capute is a well rounded professor. All of his lectures are organized and relevant to the material/tests. The only way to NOT pass is by giving up. I took him for summer term macroeconomics.
I took this class online & it was an insane amount of work. Be prepared to read the book his lectures do not cover everything needed to pass the quiz. There is a quiz on every chapt. with a min. of 2 assignments, a discussion board topic, & 2 responses to other students posts. Sometimes 2 chapt are assigned per wk. Not an easy class.
Professor Capute is a fantastic teacher. I took ECO2023 online & passed easily with an A. A couple short assignments a week & a quiz. Professor requires college level writing & intertwine the lesson info. Into your assignments. Answered any question I asked & has clear instructions!
As with any online class, there is definitely a good amount of work involved. His discussion posts were often lengthy. This topic is confusing in general, but he provided lectures and assignments to help you learn the material. Tests were a little tricky, but again, the subject matter is tricky and it's all about self teaching with an online class.
Professor Capute is one of the best professors I have taken, even if it was just online. He makes his assignments and lectures interesting. Theres 2/3 assignments and a quiz due every week, but they are not too hard. Hes an extremely fair grader, and his expectations are clear. I would 100% recommend him for anyone who needs to take and pass Econ
Awesome professor, he is very knowledgeable in Macro Economics and is very understanding to emergencies. Great Guy!
Great professor, would take again
Professor Capute is a great teacher. You will learn a lot and he explains the material very well. If you answer questions most students do not know you may even get a coupon(extra credit point)!!!! All you have to do is prepare for class read and do online homework and quiz. He gives 4 tests and notes to study for test. Taking him again for Macro.
He is a great Professor only if you want to pass. Don't come to his class and think anything will be handed to you.
Professor Capute gives great lectures and makes it easier to understand economics. He gives great feedback and always will respond to an email quickly! Do not expect to just be given an A, as he likes to give people chances to read the material properly! If I could I would take him again for Microeconomics! Very great teacher!!
Capute was very explainable on economics but i felt like i still didn't understand it as much once i finished. You are required to study a lot because half his test is fill in the blank or asks for a list of something. Easy class but have to do online work and study study for the tests. Also go to class, if you dont then you miss something.
I'm currently taking this class and have yet to use the textbook... a waste of 100 dollars just to use the Access Code (which is needed). There is a lesson due every Sunday. 1 quiz (multiple attempts), discussion, Learn smart, assignment. Majority of the class does the work on Sunday. Lectures are boring.. So far I have an A. Take if you want an A.
Capute was very strict. He likes things done very specifically, not exactly a "chill" professor. He cares about his students. Do as he says and you should be fine. He's a nice guy but his lectures are kind of boring. Took his microeconomics class which was fun but his teaching wasn't. Never be late. Answer anything extra and you could get a coupon.
I took Mr. Capute online for Macroeconomics. I enjoyed his lectures and assignments. Actually doing the work and comprehending the material is key in getting a good grade. There is a fairly heavy workload, but most of it isn't particularly difficult. The tests are much harder than than the study material, make sure you understand concepts.
I came in with no knowledge, left with understanding. Great professor!
Online class that was easy to follow. PowerPoints were interesting and to the point. Class materials made you think. Discussion Board posts required every week. Unfortunately most of the class waits till the end of the week to post which makes you wait for your response posts. Gives good feedback to all posts. Do the work and get a good grade
participation matters and it's easy to get a good grade in this class. However, the professor is not very helpful. does not respond to emails, messages, or phone calls. attempted to contact him on multiple occasions and would NEVER get a response, not even an acknowledgment. not a great professor when you need assistance, you are left to your own
I'm in between with this professor, because I did well in his class, but I'm not sure it had anything to do with him. He's a slow grader, so you're two weeks ahead of what he's grading, so it's hard to know if what you think you learned is correct, and each week builds from the week before.
There are a fair amount of assignments to be completed on a weekly basis and you work at your own pace to finish them by the deadline. The work is engaging and even though there may be a lot of assignments, it felt less like work and more interesting to make the class go by quickly. Show up and do the work and you will do well.
Prof Capute is my favorite economics teacher. He will call on you randomly and possibly embarrass you, but he is a great teacher. He cares about your success in his class. He always makes his lectures easy to understand and he will give you ample opportunities to ask any questions you may have. Strict, but fair. AND HE'S FUNNY!
I loved taking Professor Capute's class. The lessons use the graphs needed to understand economics but it is not a math-heavy course. The videos of the professor talking help immensely in understanding the textbook. I loved writing the essays and discussion posts. If you are a good writer, I recommend this course.
Do the work and pass the class!
Professor Capute was a amazing teacher. His lectures were very understandable and everything he said was literally on the test. He is a slow grader but you will most likely make an A if you pay attention. I highly recommend that you take this course.
Loved Prof Capute. Not a very easy class, not all questions on tests are multiple choice but if you study for the tests you will get an A. There is not much class work, just homework and tests, and a research paper due at the end of the semester. This is one of those professors that actually lectures what will be on the tests so TAKE NOTES.
Average professor. I ended up with an A, but you do have to put in the work. Every week you have 1 assignment, 1 discussion, learn smart quiz, and an online quiz. You will need to read the chapter to understand the questions on the online quiz. Lectures are boring and unnecessary, he just reads everything from the slide. He's fine.
Overall the class was fine, but I didn't like how the exams were made. Literally gives you an hour or less to finish them. All other things, lecture/discussions/assignments were all easy and helpful but had pretty much nothing to do with the exam. There is still a possibility of passing the class with an A if you don't do super great on the exams.
Ronald Capute was one of the best business teachers I've taken at PBSC. His online class structure was very organized as well as the weekly work schedule. Be sure to read the chapters and watch the videos thoroughly, because he spots the accuracy like a hawk! That made me a better student in the long run. Highly recommended.
Awesome class
Takes forever to grade. By the time the next lesson is due, u dont know if you put what he was looking for,so you're stuck 'hoping' its something he liked. you have to listen to him read from PP's. If he doesnt like what you wrote, he marks u down, even if u include stuff from his lecture. his feedback is just "try again." really? two thumbs DOWN.
Great instructor
I took Professor Capute during the summer and it was very jam packed. But all of his assignments are very clear and doable. I worked full time and was taking other courses at the same time and was able to stay on top of all the assignments. If you listen to the lectures and do all the assignments you can pass the class.
PP lecture, Practice Assignment(very easy!), Assignment(150 words), discussion(50 words & reply to 2 classmates 25 words), quiz(10 questions, 10 min., 2 attempts)... this is it for every week. Online class means you're basically teaching yourself. This isn't for everyone, but this class is an easy A! He does grade a little late, but not a big deal.
Do all your work and DBs you will pass.
textbook wasn't needed but the code was. all the learnsmart assignments are automatic 100pts. its like a study guide, just complete it and get 100. then do all the discussions and assignments which are easy 150 wrds. and you should pass with an A.
Mr. Capture isnt bad but he was tough when it came to grading. Its not a hard class. Just meet his expectations and youll be good.
Very easy class with this prof. learned a lot about business, his lectures are good. no big tests, or midterm, or final.. only 10 question quizzes relating to the chapter which is super easy if you read. Assignments & Discussions are easy also. Overall, i highly recommend you take this online class, you won't regret it!
Professor Capute makes sure that his students have everything they need for tests as he tells you what's on them during his lectures. If you didn't get an A, you either didn't put in the effort or didn't do the assignments. Easily one of my favorite professors at PBSC.
Take this Prof. you really won't regret it. EASY A! He really cares about all his students and isn't trying to fail anyone. As long as you put your part in, you should get an A.
You don't need the textbook for online class. The code is all you need and it comes with the textbook online. Do the work and pass. professor capute always gives feedback on your assignments and discussions. easy class and great if you have a busy schedule.
Best prof. i've taken for an online class. Like another person said, he does take a while to grade, however, he is really good with feedback on everything you write. He isn't a tough grader, I got 100 in all quiz so it is not hard at all. Very easy class, and interesting! Whether you're looking for an easy A and/or to learn, TAKE HIS CLASS!!
This prof. is such a nice guy. gives great feedback and not a hard grader. I don't believe anything negative anyone says on here, I've taken this prof. for 2 other courses and he's super easy. Definitely helped keep my GPA high because I get A's in all his classes. He does take long to grade. Other than that super easy, assignment, discussion, quiz
Professor Capute made this class very interesting. Every week consists of an assignment, discussion(2 replies), a quiz, and an easy assignment on the online textbook which is a given 10 pts. Grades fairly and gives great feedback. No midterm, or Final. Take him for any of his classes, they are all almost very similar, easy A.
Every week consists of an assignment, discussion(2 replies to others), a quiz, and an easy assignment on the online textbook which is a given 10 pts. Grades fairly and gives great feedback. No midterm, or Final. Take him for any of his classes, he is a very good professor.
Prof. Capute is great, one of the best. His online class is very organized, structured and easy to follow. Prof. Capute actually reads discussion posts and leaves feedback, but doesn't grade too harshly if they suck. There is a lot of work, but that's to be expected for an economics class. Highly recommended professor!
I do not recommend this professor. Your assignments and discussions will never be enough for him, and his feedback are not useful at all. If you have other options, do not take him because you are going to spend the whole semester stressed by such an easy class. I will never take him again!!!!
Highly recommend this professor, very knowledgeable on the material. Wouldn't say it was an Easy A, you definitely have to show up so you don't miss anything and work for your grade. Few assignments, mostly online through Connect. Only two tests and the final. Overall great professor, he really cares and makes sure you understand the topic.
Professor Capute expect you to remember most of the material word for word. He has a very slick way of responsiveness when asked questions. He grades hard and I wont take him again.
Professor Capute gave A LOT of work. Do not take this class if you have a busy schedule. The assignments are not super hard they just take a lot of work to do. The only upside to this class is no midterm or final and you can use quizlet for most of the quizzes. But the amount of work he gives is insane.
Easy online class, you get up to3-4 assignments per week including a quiz. Very nice professor and understanding. I took him twice, easy class to pass. Spring of 2019 and now spring of 2020.
Great guy! I took his online intro to business class and it was an easy course. He organized it very well; 4 assigment a week due every sunday. If you do the assignments on time, you'll be just fine. He is strict on deadlines but the assigments are very short.
I took this class as a junior in high school and It was one of my favorite classes. The online class requires 1 online assignment, 1 quiz, 1 assignment, and 1 discussion per week. The class challenging at times, but Prof. Capute gives great feedback and his lectures are very helpful. I highly recommend this class and Prof. Capute.
Take this professor!!! I took him for macroeconomics and intro to business. Such a good professor and if you do the assignments you will pass! He always gives great feedback and the assignments are very well organized and you will always know when everything is due. Highly recommend.
He's a super easy online class. Has usually 4-5 assignments weekly but are super easy. STUDY QUIZLETS they will help.
This professor was overall pretty amazing. He does give a lot of assignments, but they are the easy but time consuming type of work. He also gives you an entire week to finish it. He gives great feedback. So just do the work and you will do great!
Great teacher, especially for being an online course. He gives a lot of course work but its very easy to do. Includes videos of interesting TED talks and youtube videos that go along with lectures and chapters to make overall comprehension a breeze. He sets you up for success! Take his class.
Took him for GEB1101 and was a great professed! Took his online class and found all the information fun and easy to use. Would take again !
The professor is very knowledgeable, and makes hard topics easier. He makes some jokes, and has good use of technology for remote learning. Make sure to read the book, do the LearnSmart, journals, etc. Will boost your knowledge and grade!
He's an okay professor, not the best but definitely not the worst either. Every week he assigns to read a chapter of the textbook and complete the questions through Learnsmart, do an assignment, a quiz, and a discussion board. The course content is quite confusing, but he makes the class bearable. Not an easy A, you have to work for it!!
Beware of work. This class is sped up, meaning sometimes 10-11 assignments per week. Each week had 1-3 quizzes, discussion boards, Learnsmart, and some really confusing assignments. The quizzes are easy (Quizlet), but he is a tough grader. Feedback was downright rude at times. I don't recommend him, work was confusing and random. I learned nothing.
Took this class while distance learning and he gives about 4-5 assignments a week. It usually the learnsmarts, a small assignment, a discussion board, and the quiz. Wasn't too difficult as long as you organize yourself and don't wait till last minute. In my opinion he gives you more than enough time do the assignments.
I am not even done with the class yet, and I felt a strong urgency to come here and tell yall, do not pick this man for any course. He is the absolute worse. Ive never disliked a professor and their teaching ethics/methods until him. Highly disorganized online course and he is constantly changing due dates.
He is just an outright rude professor. He picks on students and belittles them when questions are asked. His views on things are a little unethical in my opinion and whether intentional or not it shows. The workload is heavy considering you have to write a 6 paragraph journal every week, which is basically an essay. Would not take again...
Professor Capute has been the most disrespectful professor I've ever had. The first couple of weeks were pleasant but as the class progressed so did his attitude towards students who were asking questions that to him were considered "dumb". Students should be learning in an uplifting environment. He does not have the patience for teaching.
The professor is very straightforward. He is knowledgable about the course but it is his class. There really is not room for negotiation with him. It made me feel like the only relationship we could have is student and professor. I have been taking the class remotely because of COVID-19, so this could be one reason to my rating.
Every chapter there's a learnsmart and quiz and every week there's a 6 paragraph journal you can either earn a 0 or 1 on. Grading is really subjective with him and he's not consistent. He picks on the same people every class period, doesn't record zoom meetings, and requires cameras on at the beginning and end of class.
Professor Capute can be quite disrespectful. hes always trying to play gotcha with his students. really long lectures and takes a long time to put in grades, falls behind a lot. all answers to quizzes and tests are on quizlet. Doesnt deserve a 4.1, he was tolerable at best.
Great Professor! I learned so much in his class and if you put in the work then you will get an A. He gives you plenty of time to do the assignments and makes sure they are easy to understand. This was my favorite class!
Overall Professor Capute was a fairly good teacher. Taking an online class the assignments were assigned each week, usually an assignment, discussion post, and test. He did not give much helpful feedback and would not respond to comments made on assignment posts. His assignments were easy as long as you read and watched the material.
At first I was skeptical about taking this course but I loved it. You do have to turn things in on time and actually do the work but he is not a tough grader. There are test every week and online textbook work but definitely would take again!
On the one hand he is thoughtful and gives good feedback, yet on the other hand I had a few instances where it wasn't clear why he took off points. He would at times gave feedback that indicated he disagreed with some of my views and then would mark off points. This happened on some occasions when I shared a liberal view on an economic policy.
Super easy class- the "concepts" for each chapter are overkill. He takes points off of your assignments for the most random things and definitely wants you to read the chapter, but overall very nice and super easy
Decent prof in otherwise difficult course. Super passionate about econ. Knowledgeable. Work is not anything too hard but he can be tough with grading. Predictable work most weeks. Quizzes easy to google. Relevant albeit quirky assignments. Heavy focus on discussion and tons of easy grade boosts. No exams or long papers w/ most work 400 words max,
I've had him as my online teacher for ECO and honestly, his class is pretty straightforward and self-explanatory. All the quizzes are fairly easy and the online website for the textbook helps you prepare for the quizzes. I've had no problems with him personally. :)
Took him in fall 2022. 4 assignments usually per week. Professor is super nitpicky with grades and takes off 6-20 points for the littlest things. Slow grader. Give every detail in your assignments, READ the chapters. Gotta work hard for an A. B is very doable however. Class uses McGraw hill connect which costs $140~
Professor Ronald Capute is a good teacher, but also confused. Delay in grades, when my other class finished the final, his class that I was still unsure about whether the last assignment will be posted or not.
Mr. Capute is one of the best professors I've ever had, he teaches the material very thoroughly and his class is easy to pass once your pay attention and TAKE NOTES.
Professor Capute is absolutely the best teacher/professor I have ever had. His class is extremely engaging and he is very good at presenting and explaining topics. He is also funny and understanding. TAKE NOTES. The homework is very easy but the tests can be a bit difficult. If you take good notes, study them well, and pay attention, you will pass
There was a lot of writing but over all enjoyed learning so much in this online class and professor Ronald responds to email in a timely manner. Read chapters and review lectures and you'll be fine. very chill online class.
Show up, you get extra credit for every class you go to. Very clear on what to expect throughout the semester and very understanding. I'm duel enrollment and it worked well with my AICE and AP classes and wasn't too tough of a class. Study for the tests and ask him questions. Make sure to talk during the lectures for points.
Professor Capute makes the material engaging and easy to grasp. Attend class, take thorough notes, and utilize resources like unstuckstudy to ace the exams. Overall, a solid professor who cares about student learning.
He is an amazing professor, please take this class. I took him for Econ dualenrollment at PBSC (online) and it was the easiest class Ive ever taken. He gives about 4 assignemtns per week tho so do them. He also gives great feedback and extra credit if you do better than expected. Trust me take this class if you want an easy A.
I took Macroeconomics with him and he is the best, he gives great feedback on the assignments just be ready because there are usually 4 assignments per week but they are easy as long as you complete everything you will end with an A. He also gives extra credit when you do extremely well. No lockdown browser which was convenient. Great professor!
This class was not as easy as everyone says. If you show up and take a lot of notes and memorize EVERYTHING, you will be good for tests. There are no quizzes but a lot of homework. I would not recommend having him as a professor.
Gives great feedback and gives engaging assignments for the topics covered.
Easy class, gives feedback, if you do the assignment beyond expectations, you'll get a couple of extra credit points. Watch the lecture videos, read the book, and then you'll do fine.
Do the assignments on time, and also have good punctuation because he takes off points for that. Maybe because the writing assignments are verrry short. Discussions and essays do not go for more than 500 words. I think the final essay was at most 700. Really not that bad, just read the book, watch the recorded lectures, and analyze the graphs!
