Don't let his tough demeanor scare you away. If you're a serious student take his class. Many short assignments (take each one seriously) he'll drop the four lowest. Five readings (reading discussions), five papers (you have a chance to revise). He'll ask you to read aloud, he uses blackboard, and computers in the classroom. Highly recommended.

He was such a great professor. He explained the work over and over, to fully make sure that every student could get a great grade in his class. I don't consider myself a great writer but I got almost a perfect grade in his class thanks to him constantly giving feedback. Easy and nice teacher. Would take him again in a heartbeat. Try and get an A.

I took Dr. B in the summer and here's my review, he explains to you what you don't understand. He's available for any email questions that you have, he makes composition much easier by the way he explains the discipline to you. He provides work sheets with vital info, other counterparts don't do this and you don't want that. My grade for him is A.

I took Dr. B for the summer, he explains material, gives interesting readings, gives good feed back, anf great notes too. "But" here is the the con, warning! do your work your grade will lack. He substracts atleast 1-4 points on your last assisngment, so make sure that you do your best. Because he took 1 point of my 90 but I ended up with an A+.

Professor B was very straight forward in what he wanted. Once you followed the instructions and used his feedback appropriately, you can't fail. If you need additional assistance, he is there to help. It was very difficult to keep up because things were due 4-5 days out of the week and the course was only 5 weeks long but I would take him again.

If you have to take English 101 I recommend taking him. You do about three essays for which he gives you feedback and allows you to edit. The workload is very reasonable and gives you time to work on your other classes. He also takes off 3 assignments that have zeros which is also very helpful. I wish I could retake him for my next English class.

Professor Belluscio was the absolute best in all aspects. He explained everything in great detail, was very accessible, and responded to emails within minutes. There are no late assignments accepted nor extra credit given. Once you do the work with his specifications you will get an A. Take his class if you have the opportunity. The best!

Amazing professor. Took him summer 2022. I learned so much from his class and even sent him an email saying he has been the best English professor I have ever had. There isn't a huge workload of papers and the prompts he gave were really good and easy to write about and the readings were short and very interesting.

Professor B is an amazing professor, he gives very clear instructions for each assignment. There's about two assignments a week to help build up your essay writing skills(MLA format), as long as you do the work you will pass with an A!

Would not take him again, ever. If you ask questions he gets annoyed, expects you to be perfect without proper teaching, leaves rude, unclear comments on your essay, I am not sensitive, it just that professor has to teach and has to be nice to his students which this professor is definitely lacking.

This review is for the five-week summer course; highly-recommend! There are graded class discussions, but you will be graded on papers which are split into multiple review/edit assignments. He will drop the 3 lowest 10-points, and he never grades lower than your initial first draft. If you read his tips, your grade will only go up.

I took ENG 101 in the Fall of 2022. Prof. Belluscio was amazing. His assignments were writing intensive but manageable. He outlined and detailed how he wanted his work done and gave helpful feedback. Over the semester, I saw a huge improvement in my writing and attribute that to Prof. B's guidance, and commitment to his students. No regrets.

Prof. B is such an amazing professor. He is very clear on what he expects from you. He is not a tough grader. Just read his feedback and your grade will improve. Very lenient. Attendance was not mandatory for online as long as you do his work, he believes attendance shouldn't affect our grade. Awesome and easy professor! I highly recommend him.

I owe Professor Belluscio much of my success in college. He provided me with the strongest foundation for writing essays, which are required in almost every class. His course was structured in a way that built the skills I needed and set me up for success.
