this is the best and nicest teacher i ever met take him whenever hes really good
The greatest teacher!!! He's so cool, and so much fun in class. He makes learning fun.
let me tell u guys that he is the most wonderful person you can ever meet. even though i am in the early childhood program he made business law a great course for me he tells interesting stories he is some one i will never forget.
Professor Giaccone is not only a great teacher, he is a nice person! Try to take his classes whenever you can! Definitely a red hot chili pepper!
I took him in 2001- but I have to comment because he really is a great teacher. He made classes and learning fun. He was always happy and energetic- we had a lot of fun in that class!
Giaccone is the man. Really easy, nice and funny. Loved taking his class, cause I felt like I learned a lot. I would recommend him, even if you dont need any of his classes. Best teacher I have had at this school by far!!!

Excellent professor! Very clear and easy to understand. Ladies, he's not bad looking either, just wish he was a tad bit younger haha.
He actually cares about the work which made it better to learn about. Also He makes the class interesting
OMG.... Best Professor EVER. Very helpful,you don't want to miss his classes. Cant say Emough about him. He is the best of the best at Suffolk. Sweetest man walking the campus.
Giaccone is the man!! i loved his class as much as i loved him. i looked foward to going to his class everyday i definetly reccomended him for any student his stories are hilarious and he makes learning fun plus his tests are very easy.
Giaccone is the man...One of the greatest teachers I have ever had...Very helpful in understanding the concepts and just overall a great teacher...I recommend him to anybody because you will have fun in the classes and you can easily succeed in his class...He is the kind of teacher you want to have.
Giaccone is an awesome teacher and a great person. He is alwayz there for his students when they need help. He is also the best club advisor ever. I would reccomend him very highly to anyone. Take him for everything you possibly can. He explains things so you can understand.He is awesome
He really made the class fun and easy. Great sense of humor!
He was the best!!! He made the class so much fun.
This teacher rocked. I had him a few years ago. It wasn't like it was a really easy class, but he rocked! He was very funny and helpful! Definetly recommended.
Prof Giaccone was awesome. i had him at 8oclock in the morning and he actually made me like goin to class that early. There wasnt a time i wasnt interested. Hes soooo funny too, im deff taking him again!
I too had him at 800 and I tell you this. HE MAKES CLASS REALLY FUN!! For the student who has not seen books in years you will feel at ease.
His class was boring and he shows favoritism toward certian students. His grades are for the most part arbitrary and his tests are convoluted. I would never take another class with him.
This professor is just too entertaining and funny for class. He encourages everyone to do well, and actually wants people in his class to get A's. But besides, for reading the book, and taking multiple choice tests, he doesn't really expect much from his students.
I currently have this class with professor Giaccone ESQ. At first I thought his class would be great from all of the good ratings he got. I feel he is not fair, he makes his grades up, he is not understanding of sick student after having heart surgery. He does not give leway for lateness due to recovery. I will not recommend him. He is Bias.
anyone who says something bad about this guy is just a bad student, class is a breeze if you do the work, that there is not much of. unlike other people say he does not just make up the grades and he is very understanding when you are sick. deff would take again, anyone who wouldn't prob didn't try at all and are pissed about it
I took this guy for intro to business and law....With a five year space in between...he's the man. He remembered me as soon as I walked in. Gives every student a fair chance and forces notes and quotes into your brain...in a comedic way so dont be worried. If u want a class u can look foward to going to ...this is it. Rock on Giaccone..
I agree with everyone...he is bias and shows favoritism and does make up his own grades...he is ignorant and annoying....
where do these people who say he is bias come from, you must be the worst student ever to get a bad grade in his class. the only work in the tests which he reviews for no suprises. he is funny and makes everything understandable
Giaccone is ma dude. he's easy going, very straight forward and likes class participation. gives a review sheet before each test. doesn't really sweat the text book which is good. overall he's cool
This guy is the man, he is funny and always has a good story to tell when he is trying to make a point helps the class move along a lot better, awesome teacher.
GREAT!!

Great Teacher, Took for for multiple classes. Wish i could take him for BL72. Very helpful. His reviews are straight from the test he is giving!! Highly recommend!!
This guy is overall just the man! Always looking to help, in and out of the classroom, even with other issues like scheduling. He makes me want to become a lawyer.
this guy is a comedian & teacher all in one. I've never laughed out loud so much in a class at suffolk then like in this class. It's such a pleasure going to his class- he's great. Don't care for his tests though b/c their all T/F. Overall You will love this guy.
If i could take every bussiness class with him I would. He is the best teacher ever. There were a lot of classes I hated going to but I always looked forward to going to his class. He's an easy teacher and one of the funniest people I know. His stories always make you laugh. I love love love his classes and hands down the best professor at Suffolk.
I think that this professor is awesome. He is so helpful and explains well in class and has plenty of office hours to meet with him. I really recommend him. One of the best professor ever!
The best teacher I have ever had -He is so funny and makes class so enjoyable to go to. I had him for 2 semesters and did not miss one class. He explains everything and you really learn a lot. His stories are hysterical and hes such a caring person. He's the only teacher I know that honestly cares about his students !I LOVE YOU GIACCONE teach BL72!
Easyyyyyy , this professor is very cool , he likes you if you are in the honor society more than the rest but still if you put effort in the class and he knows it, you get an A
This course was (surprisingly since I have minimal interest in the law) interesting and Prof. Giaccone made it easy to understand and was straight forward in what he expects from his students.
AWESOME AND HILARIOUS! Giaccone makes you want to be a business major if you're not one already just so you can take all of his classes. He keeps you awake and makes the class really interesting. He tells great stories and is an all around great professor. Likes to tell you answers to test questions on review day. TAKE HIS CLASS! one of my faves!
You have to take this Prof. he really is the greatest! Makes this class so interesting and if you listen to him and pay attention to his reviews you will do fine. Wish he taught the next level!
Great professor. The thing I really like about him is that while he is funny and can tell a story, he doesn't drift or go too far. He always keeps a firm hand on the material, which I can't say for some of the other professors in the paralegal program (although they are outstanding teachers as well)
Best teacher ever! he is the man and tells many funy stories of his youth and family. he frequently makes jokes and his tests and assignments are easy and fun.
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HADD! I LOVE HIM. IF I COULD TAKE HIM FOR EVERYTHING I WOULD HAHA. HES SO FUNNY AND MAKES EVERYTHING SO INTERESTING
Took this course online so didn't get to experience the prof. in person. However, the course was very simple. I read the chapter, outlined, and then had a couple quick problems. Did not have a test for this class. It was very enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend taking him! He keeps you interested in the material. His stories are the best, and always has good jokes! Take him, he is the best professor!
Giaccone!!! He's the man. Very interesting and funny. Ask him about the viking handshake. :-)
Took it online. Very easy class. Although, it may seem like you are constantly doing assignments, by the second or third to last module it is a piece of cake.
Professor Giaccone is awesome!! You actually want to go back to class. Lectures are fun and interesting, everything on the test is exactly what you learned. All I can say is TAKE HIM! A+
Best teacher I've had so far in suffolk. It's the only class that I have perfect attendance in because I actually WANTED to go to class. It's so much fun and you learn a lot. Definitely worth your money.
Awesome teacher, and very funny! He loves to joke around, and gives you a couple answers for each test before-hand. Attendance is not mandatory, but you wont want to miss a class. I highly recommend him.
i took him for bus law during the summer and he was amazing! he explains everything crystal clear and if you dont understand he will figure out a way to get you to. cares alot about the students and class was so much fun. never boring if i could i would deff take him again. test a fair and gives a review sheet about everything thats on it
I took his LAW107 class online. It was an easy class, but his grading is ridiculous. He never gave out 100's in the class. When I asked him what I can do to improve my grade, he didn't give me any help whatsoever. If you can take another professor for this class, please do so.
i took him for business law 1 and he is by far my favorite professor. makes the class interesting and hes a funny guy! you don't need the textbook, just write good notes on what he says and you will get an A! Definitely recommend him!
Great teacher. Just take notes and no textbook needed. He's funny and accommodating but don't take advantage. He's a smart man and very funny! He takes attendance. Tests are a little tricky.. watch the wording but overall pretty easy.
Amazing professor! He makes the class extremely interesting and not boring. Very clear on everything, and explains everything if needed. You don't need to bother buying the textbook, just make sure you take good notes. He writes down everything with you on the board and explains it as he goes along, I definately recommend him!
Probably the best professor at SCCC!!! He is very funny and makes the class interesting. Don't need the textbook but just take good notes and you will be fine. He explains everything that is lectured in class. He also gives a review every single time before the test. So theres no reason why you shouldn't pass the class and get an A.
AMAZING!!!! Tells awesome stories helps the info stick better!
was good.. he explained things in lamens terms and was willing to go over things until they stuck, he also went over exam review so that you knew what was covered.
Professor Giaccone was awesome. Definitely one of the best professors I've ever had (top 2). The information he taught was/is extremely useful not only as a business major but in day to day life. Overall a great guy truly. Can't say enough good things about him!
Prof Giaconne was one of the best prof ive had. Hes got a great personality and sense of humor and really knows how to keep you interested in the class. Pay attention to what he says and his notes and the class is a breeze. Enjoyed his class very much and would defintiely take him again if i needed to.
Great professor. tests are online! easy homework. ends lecture early sometimes! great stories! great lessons! gets the class involved, if willing to involve themselves! funny! does not go over tests, or provide answers.... and some questions on tests are difficult(mult.choice)but I highly recommend him!
this guy knows what he's talking about!! he is super smart and fun to be around. its like being taught by one of your friends. i highly suggest you take at least one class with him!
He really knows what hes talking about and makes it interesting. loved this class. i recommend it, even if it doesnt seem interesting. hes hilarious and so sweet and helpful! he's got the best stories too!
Giaccone is a great Professor he really knows his stuff & cares about what he is teaching. I have had him for 4 law classes, the best professor there is. Make sure you are there the class before the test, he goes over the WHOLE test & if he feels something isn't clear he will give you the answer (you just need to remember what ? & answer)
he is an awesome person and teacher, really cares about his students and wants you to understand material. he has review sheets and goes over them with the class. take him for as many classes as you can because hes just so helpful.
By far the best professor I've ever had ! He managed to make a Law class enjoyable, and memorable. He's really great at teaching the material and very helpful.
Very nice and funny guy all around! i believe he truly is funny and not just one of those professors who think they are lol. wasn't interested in law but he managed to make it memorable and fun! i would deff take him again!
Great online class. I have taken this professor for two other classes and have always found him to be fair and helpful. Excellent Professor!
Giaccone is an amazing professor. He was a lawyer previous to teaching, so he knows what he's talking about. There are 3 test (including the final) and the class before the exam is dedicated to review. He writes all notes on the board
Have had Giaccone for multiple classes. Gets better every time. Must take his course
highly recommend taking him. i wish i could take more classes with him. he keeps stuff interesting and uses real life stories to teach his lessons and get a pint across. the class itself is a pretty easy one but he just makes it even easier to understand and learn the material quickly. tests are pretty simple as long as you take decent notes
Best professor you will take of your entire life. He's so passionate about what he teaches and makes learning law fun! He teaches with stories. His stories relate to law and his past law cases. Really funny guy! Make sure you take notes in the class and the tests will be easy. I wish I could take him again, but I can't :( BEST PROFESSOR.
Professor Giaccone is the best! This is my semester back as a full time student after 10years & I am taking 2 classes with him. You will not find a better teacher. Lectures are interesting and he keeps your attention. Very fair with testing, a few little projects, but nothing difficult. Show up, pay attention and do the reading. highly recommend
Giaccone Is awesome!
One of the best professors I have ever had in my life. He is awesome. You will never be bored in his class. I used to hate legal terminologies but he made them interested. His lectures were amazing. He cares about students and gives very effective outline. I really like him. I strongly recommend him. TAKE HIM.
This guy is a legend! If you think that another teacher is better than him you are WRONG. By far the greatest professor hands down. He's funny as anything and is literally so chill. He will discuss with you schools to transfer too and is always there. Tests are straight forward and he only wants to see everyone succeed. Genuinely enjoyed his class
Professor Giaccone is the man. I took business law in september 2016 and actually looked forward going to each class. He is a great teacher, always had a good story, and is hilarious. Was actually sad when that class ended.
Grerat professor. Very funny man. Told hilarous stories, made the class go by really fast. If you do the work you will pass with no problem. His test were a little challenging sometimes though, a lot of true or false quations and some extended response questions. However, he helps you get a good grade in the end. Deffnitley take him.
There are a couple of professors you HAVE to take if you go to SCCC. Giaccone is one of them. Great guy who makes the material very easy to understand. I'm hard-pressed to find anyone that didn't thoroughly enjoy their time in his class.
Excellent teacher. Makes the material interesting and understandable. He is accessible for help and understanding if you have problems. However, don't expect to pass if you don't show up for class. He is tough but fair. I would take him for every class towards my degree if I could. Great guy.
one of the best professors I've ever had. absolutely hilarious almost to the point where you don't wanna miss class just for the entertainment value. makes everything very easy to understand, still not the easiest class
i love this guy he's hilarious, he makes class fun by his examples and scenarios, he tells you whats going to be on the test, and homeworks are online. i definitely recommend him!!
Professor Giaccone is easily one of the best professors at Suffolk. He is very nice and always willing to help out those who ask. He is a very funny guy and taking his class was an absolute pleasure. I took Professor Giaccone for both Business Law 1 and 2. I would not hesitate to take another one of his classes.
Not my best professor at SCCC. Online class below average. Blackboard setup confusing and disorganized. He was absent the entire semester from discussion boards. Student led discussions poor and most responses off topic. Only posted one class announcement. Grades also misleading. My end of semester running total was 92/100 but gave me a B+.
I took Giaccone for almost all of my law classes and he was by far the best law professor at SCCC. His lectures are very interesting and keep the class entertained at all times even at 6:30 in the morning. He is very easy to reach outside of the classroom and is very understanding if you have any problems he is always happy to help.
He really cares about every student. The way he speaks to you and uses your name, on the first few days I legitimately believed he had known most students before the beginning of the class until he did the same thing to me. He'll go on tangents to help kids plot their education, tries to make class enjoyable for everyone. Easy A if you try at all.
take this Professor ! Hes the best. I had his class at 8am in the morning, and he made class enjoyable at 8am. Hes funny, and makes class interesting. He cares about his students and will go the extra mile to help you.
Professor Giaccone is by far the best professor I've ever had. He is hysterical, lays out the course for you, and he is clear about what will and will not be on tests. I am genuinely so glad I took his class... I look forward to it every Monday and Wednesday!
He is very nice and his class is very interesting
I was not very pleased by his online class. No personal contact at all. The material is assigned, you have to do the work alone without help. If you are good at it, you will be pleased. He did not even answer my emails.
Confused by the review posted below. Professor Giaccone is not only an outstanding professor but mentor as well. He is extremely accessible at all hours of the day and he even provides his cell phone number on his blackboard.
Professor was very clear with the same assignments each week. Lots of reading and answering questions every few pages, quizzes after each chapter. Discussions weekly, must answer back other students as well. Do the work assigned and you will get an easy A! Fair.
He is hilarious and tells a lot of jokes. He makes the class entertaining and gives easy homework assignments. Tests aren't bad either as they are straightforward and as long as you take notes and pay attention in class, you'll do well. He is very understanding and responds well to emails. Overall, one of my favorite professors at SCCC.
If you enjoy scratching your head while trying to interpret your assignments because they are riddled with typos and grammatical errors, you'll love Giaccone. You're sure to feel the true community college spirit with him as he puts that esq to good as a career community college professor.
Such a funny guy! I would definitely retake a class with him. Was good at communicating and the cengage work counts for a majority of the grade. Go to class and you will pass.
Took him for BUS101 and LAW111, It is possible to get a A. Gives you a lot of time for assignments.
Tough class, lots of test, great class apart of. Love intro to Paralegal and Professor Giaccone is a great professor.
hes so funny and tells really interesting stories that you'll somehow remember when taking exams. his tests are sooo easy, if you need this class just for credit your passing with an A. just make sure you do the homework and you'll be fine, also wouldn't skip class bc he writes down everything but overall light
I loved going to his class. He gives examples for everything you learn and is very funny. All the homework is on cengage and it's not too difficult. Tests were okay, as long as you go to class and listen when he reviews you'll be fine.
Really great guy, really fun and active lectures. The grades are split between tests and online textbook assignments. The tests are simple and fair, and most of the material is covered in the lectures. Review sessions are very helpful.
