This prof is amazing, definitly take a class with him. Its interesting, funny, entertaining and educational, also the class( traditional and popular culture) will open u'r eyes on a lot of things.

Really helpful prof

Steve, you're a great professor, but what the heck is up with the four chapter summaries on top of the really difficult Williams, Habermas, and Dorfman reading questions (which we didn't actually go over in lecture)? Since we are going to have our quiz on Tuesday, I hope you give us 3 or more questions instead of two, so that we have more choice.

Prof Steve is the best prof ever. He is helpfull, understanding and he will always be available for help. Some readings are not easy at all but he tries to give summaries to help us more. Even though sometimes we may feel lost he will try his best to make us understand the lecture. Way to go, keep up the great work!!!

We need more professors like him, he clearly enjoys what he does--always in a good mood

Professor Steve is awesome. I actually enjoyed his class even though it was twice a week for 4 hours. He is a very good prof and goes out of his way to spoon feed the material to his students. There is no hidden agenda in this course. It's straight forward though at times the critical theorists get dull. Professor steve will break down concepts

Prof Steve is going to say how it is. For those who expect an amazing mark for just breathing, think again! School involves work and even though he may challenge you, it doesn't mean hes a hard marker. Its University level ppl!!! Talk to him, hes very approachable, and even when I didn't get what I wanted I walked away from him happy. Peace.

last time I checked, it was laziness and poor writing that got students poor marks. I got an A+ in Prof. Steve's course- but I worked my butt off for it. He doesnt give marks away for free- and I like that. It makes my grade worth something. Stop crying and start reading and you'd get a better mark.

He's a pretty good TA...he goes over things in depth and he is willing to help people...He's also very funny so it lightens the mood and makes it easier to learn

Amazing proff! I have been going to York for three years and this is the first proper university class I have come across. Many other subjects and theories were drawn in forcing students to develop a more critical eye. Younger less experienced students who failed to question things in the beginning came out more critical thinkers. Amazing Prof.

his classes are amazing but mind u he isnt an easy marker be careful ven da essays head towards u

hard marker but very cool. classes were always interesting. easy to talk to and very approachable. would take his course again.

steve is an amazing tutor. if you follow his rubrics, you'll be okay. he's a great person. he'll fight for you if you've been treated unfairly. he's always prepared for the tutorials. as steve told us: "work hard, learn and seek help from the right places" and you'll be ok. go steve! oh yeah, and keep up with that (boring) foundations book.

Steve is mad cool. He has the best jokes and he inspires you to go the extra mile. The readings are tough but he really shows you how to break it down. GO STEVE!!

A great TA :D and i'm not just saying this caz he told me to during a tutorial XD Steve is outgoing and can even be crazy but he makes it worthwhile by waking u up -it's university so u have to work hard if you want a good mark :) p.s. i learned not to procastinate XD :D

Amazing professor that is really interested in what his students have to say. Has thought provoking lectures and knows how to teach difficult material.

Excellent TA!He definately knows what he is talking about. He has a great sense of humour and is very helpful. By far the best TA i've ever had:)

haha someone thinks hes an alien..wat a looser who ever wrote that..he is strict when it comes to marking but overall ok.

Excellent TA! Screw u ppl who think elsewise! He is a very smart TA who uses his great sense of humour so that you don't get bored in his tutorials. If it weren't for him, I would hate this course. Keep doing ur thing Steve and don't listen to these loosers!

I duno why every one is talking down upon steve. He was my TA from fall through winter, and i learned a lot from his tutorial. I felt he was very helpful explaining assignments and course concepts. He is a very nice guy and knowledgable about the subject. I finsihed with an A in the course, so if you stay on top of the readings you'll be fine.

Steve is a tough marker. He knows what he is talking about and has high expectations of students. In my opinion, best professor ever.

Wonderful professor, my fave so far at york. approachable,sincere,super super cute

Great prof! Makes it all so interesting and relevant. Brings material to life.

Inspiring at times, course material connections are made through power point pictures. Very interesting course! Great prof!

We just got our first papers back the other day and not many people did well.. but in all honesty.. he might as well have written it for us the way he explained it so i do not think its his fault that people didnt understand.. ur awesome steve :) i love you as a TA and i love worlds of childhood, best decision i ever made !

His lectures are better then Cantons. They are clear and to the point. I can actually understand the concepts in the readings because of him. As a T.A he expects you to earn your grade. This is a great quality he is building in you. I love how he makes us discuss the material together- we gain a new perspective to the information by this.

Expects a lot from students, very passionate about his job. However, somewhat big-headed at times. Dont just assume he is giving you a bad mark and he is a hard marker, approach him about why you got the mark and he will try his best to help you understand where you lost your marks and how you can improve. Does care about students success.

The best prof who gives the best lectures. In terms of marking, he is a little harder, but if you put in the effort, you will do well. I believe he is hard to reach, since so many students book appointments with him, but I'm sure that you will benefit if you get to talk to him. Hard class, high expectations, but good prof nonetheless. You must work

Steve is an awesome professor! He is intelligent, kind, respectful and fair. -from a non cyber bully. :)

Dr. Gennaro is a great teacher.He teaches the subject with clarity and opened my eyes to a lot of interesting things. He may be a hard marker but he wants the students to do well and understand. I did hear from classmates though that he might not always be fair, but if you take the time to approach him, he will explain his "unfairness". GreatProf

When I read the unfavorable comments others have made, I wonder if they expect that he will somehow be an "easy" marker, because he is such a down to earth prof. It's unfortunate that some students have not been able to enjoy the thought provoking classes that he facilitates. I recommend his classes to people who seriously want to learn!!

I especially liked the way this professor delivered the material. He is not mono-toned and seems very passionate and confident about what he is teaching. I found his lectures to be clear and thought-provoking. In the end, I received an excellent grade and I definitely wouldn't mind taking another course of his.

If you dont like this professor its becase you are an idiot. He is extremely smart and passionate about what he teaches. If you are an average student you will fail or drop out of the class. This is the only class I have ever attended at York in which I felt that I was in University.

Steve is by far the best prof I have ever had, at both York and Western. He is extremely passionate about what he is teaching, I love attending his lectures. The material covered is advanced for a first year class, but he does an excellent job explaining it and answering any questions. Steve inspires me to want to get involved!

Coolest Prof EVER

The best I've ever hard so far. Very smart and pays a keen interested to almost his every student to learn. And I like his style for upholding and maintaining a student-prof relationship.

Great professor, very clear and passionate about what he teaches. If he is your TA, make it your number one priority to do the readings otherwise he will make you sign off on a paper saying you didn't do them and that will adversely affect your tutorial grade which ended up being the difference between a B+ and an A for me.

What a great professor. Very interactive course, you will enjoy it. Take it with Gennaro!

He is by far one of the greatest professors ever. His lectures are the best. He is helpful, clear, and his anecdotes will be very useful during exam time. He is AWESOME!

Awesome Prof! I had him in 2 courses for my degree, he was great and supportive, and he really knows his stuff.

Great professor. He really cares about his students and is knowledgeable on the context he teaches, which makes it enjoyable to come to class and learn. I gained a lot from his class and would take it all over again if I could.

I had him for COMN 2700 last summer and I think he is a great Prof. He is a kind man too. Is willing to listen to students if they have any concern or problems. I cannot say the same for other Profs in this school.

Steve Gennaro has been my favorite prof at York. I found his classes interesting, informative, engaging and overall inspiring. Taking his communication class solidified my choice to become a communication major. I fell in love with the material. I wouldn't call the class easy, but do your work, you'll pass. STEVE PLEASE TEACH MORE COMN CLASSES!!!!

I have taken 2 fourth year classes with him online, and although I really like his lecture videos, I would've liked to see more. HUMA 4142 had absolutely no lectures, we just had to read and post in the forum, along w some essays. Would've liked some more engagement from him he was kind of MIA. Very accessible, on campus, on the phone, and on Skype

Had him for my summer class for a 2nd yr COMN course. He was amazing! Very friendly and funny and made lecture interesting. Gave good examples which helped. Quiz every week and 4 big tests but if you do the readings and show up for lecture then you will get a good grade! Sometimes MIA but he was available outside of class. Fave prof so far!!

Steve is friendly, marks according to the rubric he gives. If you follow instructions it's an easy A. there is always group work involved which is not so demanding. He is easily available to listen to you and responds to every email. He goes out of his way to remind students to meet deadlines and explains assignments in depth.

He leaves good feedback on applying course concepts to real life experiences and is a generous grader. Once I got my marks back I was surprised to see an A, would recommend this prof as he cares about his students success, emails to remind us to take synchronous tests and encourage us to complete our work, and holds office hours.

The coolest prof at the York. Moderate readings and activities. Straight forward and easy to understand. He is flexible, remember every student's name. Textbook is on the online york library that you don't have to buy it. He is understanding prof of students. Highly recommended! This is the one subject I really enjoyed.
