Professor Belluscio is the best Professor at BMCC!
He’s one of the best professors at BMCC.
he's cool
Prof. Belluscio is the best english professor at BMCC. He's very simple just do the work and come to class. He's also very fair in grading, he gives 2 opportunities to get a good grade on papers. The determination is up to you, Prof. Belluscio already has his degree, you have to get yours! Come to class, do the work, and you will get an A!
THE BEST ENGLISH CLASS EVER. PROFESSOR TAUGHT EVERYTHING NEEDED TO PASS THIS EXAM AND WITHOUT HIM I WOULD NOT HAVE LEARNT WHAT I DID AND PASSED WITH THE GRADE THAT I DID. PLEASE KEEP IT UP PROF.
One my favorite professors in BMCC; he's awesome, hands down. He's very clear on what he wants, well organized and funny at times. The books were pretty cool especially [email protected]. I actually learned a lot in his class. He gives weekly quizzes to keep people on their toes, and his syllabus is one of the most creative ones I've ever seen
As everyone else has said, Prof. Belluscio is one of the best I've had at BMCC. If you do the work and attend class you'll do well and learn. He gives ample opportunity to correct your papers and get a better grade. And for it doesn't hurt that he's got a certain sexy je ne sais quoi...
The best!
He is nice. There are only 4 essays one semester. And he allows you to rewrite your essay one times. It means even though you get D in your first draft, you still have chance to get A in your rewrite.And there is no midterm and quize in his class, but only the final. the homework is eady too, but it is hard to improve your writing skill his class.
Best professor in my three semesters so far.
Like everyone said! only 4 essays, and you can rewrite each one, always having the chance to get a perfect score no matter what. no midterm, no quizzes, just weekly graded classwork and the most boring, extensive grammar overview. he's nice, and god, he's cute.
I got an A in his class. HW and attendance are reeeeeally important in his class. there was no midterm in his class, but he has quizzes for us almost every class. The quizzes are basic grammar. easy A at all if u finish ur HW on time and attend to his class on time. Only 5 papers including final. Eassy A. Good luck..
This professor is the worst i have had so far. He always ignored my questions and he would take attendance at 11 am on point. I never understood when a professor piles up so much work and then only gives you 10 points for an assignment that takes about 4 hours to complete.
If you do your assignments and rewrite you papers( he gives student change to rewrite), you will get an A. Homework and attendence are important,you don't want to miss any of them, because they will affect your final grade, which is fair enough. If you take his class serious, he will make your effort worth! He guides you how to write good essays.
Great professor will letyou rewrite papers and will prepare you for final exam. Attendance is really serious you must be present on time even if you are a minute late there is no break but overall geat professor
Steven is the funniest and easiest english teacher you could ever have. You never that notes or have quiz or exams you only have the big exam at the end thats it. I recommend him to everyone
This professor is for English majors only! He gives hard assignments for English 101. The assignments that he gives us are English 201. I feel that this professor is for students that are really good in literature! If you are not a English major, then DO NOT TAKE HIM!
I like this professor a lot, his method of teaching. therefore, you will learn something from his class. He will give you a lot of opportunities to improve your grade, but if you are not used to study,don't bother.His assignments are not for the students with IQ higher than 130:)
Recommend him
Best English Teacher At BMCC. Highly Reccomended.
I've learned a lot from him. He is so organized and accurate. I enjoyed my English class! He is a real and the best professor!!!
he is ok. I actually enjoyed writing and learnt a lot in his class, but he is a tough grader. take him if you want to work hard and end up with an unsatisfying grade.
DO NOT SKIP A CLASS EVEN IF YOU ARE SICK ! This professor will mark you Absent NO MATTER WHAT. If you are an International student and English isn't your first language, Please stay away. Otherwise go for it. 3essays to write and a final exam, get ready for quizzes . Good luck.
This a very easy class I would highly recommend this class for freshmen's that want to ease into the collage experience. Prof. does give a lot of in class quizzes but they are easy as long as you read the readings he assigns. These tests makes up for the midterm since most ENG generally wont give you a midterm. Homework is easy as well.
Took him for summer 1. He is very structured and keeps you on track with the syllabus. It's important your on time because he almost always gives a quiz 2 minutes into the class based on assigned readings. He goes over The readings after the quiz to engage thought for the purpose of future essay writing which I found very helpful. Good class.
He is so good! As an international student i was afraid to take ENG 101, but he made my semester very enjoyable. He helps a lot and there are many chances to get extra credit. Be diligent and punctual and you will got an A
He just uses computers to teach. If you are into that type of teaching, go for it. Otherwise pick another teacher. Classes do get quite boring.
This class was really easy and he is a no nonsense guy, which I like. Come to class, put some effort in, and you will pass. Lots of quizzes but they are super super easy and most only have 5 questions. Seems a little standoffish but he's alright.
He's informative but could be boring cause he literally just talks about the books we have to read. We had to read 9 books. YES, NINE BOOKS. Don't take it if you're not ready to read a lot, if you follow well though, he could be a fair grader. But i don't think a being fair professor is everything, he's bohhring... Wouldn't take him again.
He responds to your e-mail (even on weekends), he goes over literally ALL the readings for the class, he gives you his honest answer to your questions, and he will TELL YOU and UPLOAD THEM ON BB on all the directions for your upcoming paper and exam. As long as you hand in your work and show up, he is a reasonable grader! A+ Professor.
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.
Best professor!
He is an amazing professor, by far the most coolest one to have, he's very lax, gives a lot of work, but it's not to hard, likes to help out, always suggests people to receive help, very respected reasonable dude.
Professor Belluscio takes everything seriously. He takes attendance on time, so don't be late in his class, not even 1 minute! He only gives a few feedback for the writing which is not quite helpful, you need to count on yourself or tutoring if you are not good at writing. He is very polite and respectful to people though.
Dont let some of these reviews stop you from taking this prof. He is amazing! Though he is stickler for tardiness, show up late and you will be marked late no exceptions. Dont attend and you will get marked absent. BUT he allows double of what BMCC allows which is why he is strict on this. The essays have 2 due dates the first is a preview grade.
Great guy the essays are pretty easy. If you pay attention in class which is very easy you'll get a good grade
Writing has always been a struggle for me so I liked his class because there were no surprises. Everything was on the syllabus, very clear grading criteria, 2 due dates for each paper so if you didn't like your first grade you could resubmit. He's strict on attendance. Don't be late or you'll miss the quizzes at the beginning of class.
I like him, he is great professor.
Great Prof! loved his class. On time, fair and organized!
I'm so glad I took him, I always have struggled in English & he mad things so much easier to grasp & understand. Wish he taught 201
he is THE AWESOME professor of bmcc in English department , very caring, and tells you in detail about due paper. He is very organized and gives 5 points for every day's appearance. Overall, that was fun having him . PS. HE LOOKS rude but he really is not. If you are looking for English class just get him without thinking..
Easy A+ He is such a smart man with a lot of personality.
Prof. Belluscio follows solid syllabus with dates of given quizzes, due papers and final. Having two due dates for papers actually gives one a chance to do even better the second time around (if submitted on time). Extra points for tech knowledge and attendance. He seems strict but really helps to do well.
He is very knowledgeable and passionate in his teaching. However, very horrible syllabus outline 9 books for one semester, 9 quiz which is every Monday and Two papers. Heavy lectures. For a writing intensive it was more like reading intensive and quizzes than anything. For one class i feel its too much assigned.
Had him for my first year here and he really is a cool guy and his essays aren't really that complicated. He usually explains things to you if you ask him. By far one of the best proffesors I've had so far.
It's my first year, but he is definitely an amazing professor. Not difficult at all, gives time to work in class and at home. 2 chances to give in essays which is amazing. Give's feedback and explains everything thoroughly multiple times, good grading criteria. Easy 5 question T/F quizzes. Wish he taught 201 because I'd definitely sign up for it.
He is excellent. If you are willing to learn then take his class. But if you want a easy A then don't take him.
Professor Belluscio might seem tough at first, however he is very understanding and gives amazing feedbacks. You will have two opportunities to submit his papers which makes his class super easy. Be prepared to read and take one quiz per reading.
Good solid instructor but pay special attention to those first classes discussing MLA, paraphrasing, thesis statement structure., etc These tools will be your writing bible for his class. His grading is fair but do your part.
Around every 2 weeks you have a lecture due, an essay and a quiz which is not bad. I worked hard for the A I got on this class. I think the professor is very good and easy going. he is not much into his students but he does help you when you have any questions. I would take him again for an ENG class.
An amazing English class, take him if you have the chance. Fair grader, gives you two chances to submit work, very helpful. has a sense of humor
Before taking ENG 101, I was kind of scared because BMCC has a few numbers of good English professors. Professor Belluscio is the best English professor at BMCC. I took ENG 101 this summer and got an A. I strongly recommend him, because you will learn a lot from him. My writing skills has improved because of him and at I love reading now.
He will Give you class time to complete assignments and lets you re-write all the essays if you want a better grade. He doesnt make you read a lot gives you articles with max 5 pages.
Best professor ever in BMCC for English class. He cares about his students. SHOW UP, DO YOUR WORK then you will get good grade. His so nice that he gives TWO chances to submit the essay. Who does that? Professor Belluscio does. It is impossible to fail his class. I am enjoying his class right now. BEST!!!!!
I love this professor! Yes, show up to class because he grades participation! He gives quizzes on the readings used for essay assignments to make sure you actually understand it before writing about it. He provides 2 due dates for each essay allowing you to improve and get better grades, and he gives a graded practice final before the real thing.
He is a excellent professor because he shows you how to use the MLA format properly and helps you correct grammar and spelling errors. He gives a a second chance to submit a paper to get a higher grade and gives extra credit. You should definitely take this professor
Horrible teacher, late replies, dont take late work.
I took this Professor Belluscio for the 6 week summer class of 2019 which was really easy. He teaches you the correct MLA format. We also had a quiz every week on articles we had to read about and also write essays on each article he was also a fair grader he made sure to give us class time to complete these essays. ATTENDANCE IS MAJOR!
He will give you a lo to read and make sure when you upload anything online (Turn it in) it is exactly how he wants the assignment presented as or else you won't get any feedback. If you do get feedback, FOLLOW THE FEEDBACK!! He wants you to pass. There is 2 papers, 1 research paper, 1 practice exam paper and Final paper. Try to work ahead of time.
Professor Bellusco is a great professor, available if you need him and gives you a chance to catch up if you are not doing well at the start.
Solid English 101 section. Super fair and clear grading. Tells you exactly what he expects and how to do the work.
Professor Belluscio was a gem!! He gives wonderful feedback and always cares about his students. Professor Belluscio would remind you every beginning if the week what is there to be done for the week and structures his class VERY well organized. If you take his class, I promise you will not regret a single thing!!
This professor is great, I don't like online classes but with this class it was a pleasure. He is really organized with the class, he explains everything with details how he wants you to do your work. Do your work on time, stay attentive to his announcements. he grades fairly. TAKE HIM YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
I took Professor Belluscios class during the pandemic. He is an excellent professor and extremely organized with the material. I would take him again for Literature if I could but apparently he doesnt teach it. Pay attention to the assignments due dates and do the work and youll get an A.
This guy is awesome! This is not an easy A, BUT if you do your work on time, pay attention to his instructions, and the due dates, you will get an A 100% for sure! Probably the best English professor at BMCC.
Do your work, pay attention to details, and you'll do great. He is very responsive to emails, and everything you need to do is on blackboard very clearly. My class with him is Asynchronous, but 10/10 would recommend!
Very fair grader. Very adamant on deadlines so be aware but if you turn in everything online and do the work you'll get an A. I passed with 102% overall (because of extra credit). It was asynchronous but he was very responsive to all emails. Great professor!!!! Would take him again.
His readings are very interesting and aren't boring at all, I still read them and he does reply to your E-mail very quickly. Overall, he's a great teacher !!
Professor Belluscio is the BEST PROFESSOR I had in my life! Take him! You will not regret!!!
I took him for a summer class ( the one that last only 4-6 weeks). It was hard, because we needed to write three essays. However we had a very strict schedule - he didn't accept late work I loved his class. He really gives feedback on your essay and he is clear about the requirements.
I took this professor because he had good ratings but after taking this class most of his work was okay but whenever I emailed him for help it wasnt good feedback and for the final essays I got a 0 even though I did it. Which lowered my grade completely and got a D.
He's a very nice guy, and actually will give you proper feedback if you do your drafts. An easy class and he always has a proper schedule which is cool. Just make sure everything is handed in early because he doesn't accept late work.
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+.
Simply an amazing Professor.
AMAZING professor!! he's a very understanding professor and accepts late assignments(to a certain extent). if you need him, he's there for you. Gives AMAZING feedback!
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.
5 main assignments w/ drafts & Final. Essay rewrite assign.s due every day. Itsheavy w/ other courses. Prof. B gave his students good feedback for essays. Will respond by email/virtual hours for questions. Drops 3 ten point assign.s-no makeups. Great teaching on MLA style. Summer Online structure & Professor together = 3 rate. Pace better in fall.
Please take him; you will not be sorry! He gives clear instructions and responds quickly to emails. He provides detailed feedback and is easy to work with.
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.
Ez grader, with clear explanation and suggestion, but somehow, he didn't teach a lot in course, the meeting wasn't really necessary.
This professor is clear with his instruction and his grading system is more than fair, he is easy to reach and responds to emails as soon as he can 10/5 tbh
Prof. Belluscio is very thorough! He explains everything so well that students barely ever had questions. Follow his instructions and use all the resources he provides and you wont get a bad grade. Definitely recommend. He's great.
This Professor is amazing! You should never doubt him taking because he's the best, very easy going with his lectures, always ready to help you through emails and through remote meetings, We had 2 essays, disscustion board and 1 final exam. A really good grader, you will easily pass his class with A grade. Take him NOW! :)
This Professor is amazing! You should never doubt him taking because he's the best, very easy going with his lectures, always ready to help you through emails and through remote meetings, We had 2 essays, discussion board and 1 final exam. A really good grader, you will easily pass his class with A grade. Take him NOW! :)
Best professor! Explains everything clearly and the resources he gave helped immensely. Professor Belluscio made me enjoy writing again :)
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.
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!! Highly recommend just make sure to do all his work!:))
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.
Very quick and clear in email responses. He is very thorough in what he expects and what we should expect from him/ his class. He was organized and kind.
This class is an easy A. Most of the assignments are making edits to your essays to get the best grade possible.
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.
