Great Professor. Just had one class with him in summer (People Work & Organizations). Learned so much in just the first week of class and assignments. He posts everything online since he is an evening professor, but easily reachable via text/email. I'm excited to be in his class. He has much knowledge and is passionate about sharing it.

Easy A class, easy A professor. Trust me. There were weekly modules you had to complete on Blackboard and participate in discussion board, but thats pretty much it. The assignments are easy and he gives you a week to a week and a half to complete. There were only a midterm and final exam.

Lots of homework

I took two classes with him. He is a social butterfly. Will make you believe in whatever he says and trust the process. Treats everyone with equality and provides honest, meaningful feedback. His classes are quite easy as long as you do the work correctly. Amazing personality, his voice and passion makes you listen and believe in whatever he says.

I took his online BTI121 class. Gave great feedback on my resume. Does not use a textbook, but you have to read the online articles and watch the videos to pass the exams. I loved this class because I did what Prof. Trapani said and I got a job!!!! He's awesome!!!! Thank you Prof. Trapani!

I took him for an asynchronous class but even so it was easy to see how much he cared. Very inspiring. He gives a lot of assignments, but theyre easy to complete and they serve the purpose of preparing us for a professional setting. Overall, hes a solid choice. Easy A if you put in the work and dont slack off.

Left assignments unclear, also the student aid he used wasn't much help when someone asked her something she would answer with, " I don't know", or insist the student try again when the problem isn't being resolved, or just ignore it, and he leaves assignments up and they all look like homework, come to find out some of them are not, so its unclear

This was an asynchronous class, work load was heavy, The 2 exams were tricky but doable. Does not respond to emails often, the best way to reach him is to to his office hours. You will lose points if you dont follow instructions on the discussions board. Overall youll learn a lot but you have to keep up with the workload

I am taking this professor for Intro to Business (BTM101) and all I can say is WOW! I learned more about business in one month of his class than I learned in any other class. When taking his class, you just don't want them to end. I can't explain why but he is just so interesting and inspires you. He uses many real life examples.

His class will personally help you to have a good financial status in life. If you take his class, pay attention to all the modules because you will learn something productive and valuable.

One of the best professors & mentor! I took class was in my first semester where I had no idea how my classes would drive. But Professor Trapani made the class super easy and gave the interesting assignments which were not difficult. do good work in his class and make connection with him because he can write the best recommendation letter for you!

Professor Trapani is stellar. I am in his BTM105 course for the Spring I semester, and I truly enjoyed his lectures, videos, presentations and feedback. He cares for his students' success, and he ensures you take the information with you for the future. Wish I took more classes with him. A diamond in the rough!

Prepare yourself that this will be a difficult class, LOTS of work, not an easy A. The information doesn't always prepare you for the hw/test. I needed to find information outside of class. The information you learn will prepare you for real life. The professor is overly strict, and grading can be inaccurate, so be SUPER careful.
