He rocks my socks!
Dude: I have a question. Professor Rooney: I have an answer.
He is the men very easy going guy that cracks jokes a lot and is easy on going on late papers
He is very helpful,as along as you come to class and do his work you will recieve a good grade.
a real cool dude
No Comments
At least he would say he's hot.He calls himself "big daddy." Now you tell me if he isn't a cool professor.
whoper snaper he he he, don't always agree with this guy...
Thats whippersnapper look it up in the dictionary! Prof. is a good guy, also prepares you for eng 24 with MLA guidelines. And he got jokes, so take him you will not be sorry.
Easy going professor. Doesn't ask a lot from his students. I definitely recommend him :) Jokes a lot also..
He is funny
easy one, doesn't expect much from you.. take him!!!
Rooney was a good professor.
Very nice and easy professor. Easy A.
A fun teacher to have. He has a lot of jokes. he is a fair teacher. I would take his as a teacher again.
whippersnapper.. he loves this word and yes its a real word hes greeattt so funny and makes u laugh untill forever not hard and come to class .. it counts
I enjoyed his class. He has great jokes, keeps you laughing the whole term. He has a laid back teaching approach which is nice for a change. He is fair as well, just do your essays. There is a lot of practice writing and small reading assignments at night, but the nice part is they are all done in class, so there's no overload of homework.
Probably the best professor I've had at KCC. Very funny, helpfull, and smart. You will enjoy his class, and he is very fair.
your the man rooney!! this guy is so funny and soo nice that i enjoyed every min of hes class. hes a great professor, and if your there everyday and doing the work youll do fine. FIY.. hes favorite word is WHIPPERSNAPPER! .. good grader too!
WELL ALL WHAT I WANT TO SAY...HE IS THE BEST !!!I WOULD TAKE HIM FOR ENG.24, BUT HE IS NOT TEACHING THIS SEMESTER :-(
Even thogh he is very easy and very very funny, he thinks that B+ is a great grade. So you really have to be good to get A
A refresshing class to take. He has a great sence of humor. He does not hand out and A's very easy. The work is not difficult.
very nice gentlemen, funny~!~
This guy is hillarious !!! If he writes the book, I will definately buy it ... A lot of reading at home but just one homework - MLA style research paper. The rest are in-class essays.
luckly, i had the class w/ him doesn't count to GPA, for me..B+ still not enough, he said B+ is very high in his opinion, he doesn't know that might low our GPA if we want to transfer to the college. and he always pick up those people he knows well, and ignored others.
HE IS VERY DIFFERENT AND I LOVE HIM! I AM GOING TO ENJOY MY SEMESTER WITH HIM FOR SURE AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER FORGET HIM.
Prof. Rooney is the best!!! I'm so glad that I had him. He's very easy. No homework. All essays are in-class. Very funny. Very interesting class. Does not like when students are late. Just try to show an interest and you'll be fine. Great professor to have for English 12!!!! Go Rooney!!!
the BEST eng prof. has a great personality and the work was very easy. TAKE HIM...U WONT BE DISAPOINTED!!
I agree with a previous post. he always has an answer! He'sthe best!
Excellent Professor. He makes the course interesting.
He like to tell alot of stories that are somtimes pointless but they still keep u entertained
The greatest professor ..does not give A's at all....he will tell you that in the beginning of the semester...very funny ...soo many stories to tell....take him and you will enjoy the class
he is the best professor ever.i have him now and i will take him again as many times i can.
Take any class with him. He makes you understand the material very well. He made me into an A writer and because of that I was able to get good grades in other classes. Funnny teacher, pay attention you'll actually use what he teaches again.
Mr Rooney is the best teacher I have ever had in KCC. I was his favorite and got the highest grade in the class. He makes the material looks so easy, that if you fail the class, it's your fault. He is one of those teachers that inspires the students to do the work.
Tells sooooooooooo many stories, but its always fun to listen to him and he is very fair about grades!
He is a great teacher.. So funny tells lots of stoires! Take him for any english class
besttt professor ever, it's the only class I actually look forward to attending; very interesting and always keeps the class entertained, while also doing an excellent job teaching. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Trust me when i say this, if your the type of student that wants to succeed and wants to have purity. Then i tell you, Rooney is gold. Ever other teacher said i was no good, immigrant vocublary. However with rooney, i was inspired to do better and go foreward. thank you.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!
Prof. Rooney is the best English teacher to have on earth, do your work show up and you'll pass.Not only do I come out learning about standard books,i learned about polotics,history past-present lol,at least 1 word in 10 languages,novels,health,math,phsychology,and countless other topics that i will be able to utilize.If you have him your Blessed
The best!!! he's the top eng. prof. in college, classes are rely interesting, as long as you do your job you get an A no problem!!
THE best!!!
talk tooooo much lol nahhh he the besstttt
I love this man with every fiber of my being. He is an extrordinary professor. The nicest kindest FAIREST man. HILARIOUS! Every class is a joy to attend. I learn so much from his stories. He has many great stories to share. I love him.
BEST TEACHER EVER!! I have taken ENG 12 with Prof. Rooney before and the guy just wanted me in his ENG 24 class and I did. Most of the stories he mentions are relevant to the class topic and others are just to make you laugh. He could be a standup comedian if he wanted to. Take his class and you'll learned more than you think!
Professor Rooney is hands down the best English professor I've ever had. We all participate, we cover all topics of life and not just English literature. It is important and very rare to have a professor who is interested in engaging with their students on multiple levels.I really appreciate having him and if I could, I would have him again.
i loveeeeeeeeee him!!!!!! hes sooo funny. he gives attention to every person in the class. hes soo nice and helpful, he loves to write recomendation letters,.. professor if only u were 20 years younger!!! we love you!!!! i learn so much from your class!!.. ps, dont ever change!!!
omg i love this professor he is an angel on earth sumtime wen i used to come in clas early in the morning 8 i used to b half asleep but his joked make me wake up and open my eyes wide i love him and his stories professor rooney ur the best english professor in kingsborough and all students shud take him coz he just make the class so fun place
He's drop-dead hilarious for an old bag. He keeps the class entertained with random jokes and real-life stories. He flexible with grades and his papers aren't that long for a college English class. Just get good grades on them and you guaranteed a good grade even if you bomb the final. FYI, if you use a laptop and got KBCC WiFi, BRING IT!
Alright, so here's the deal with Rooney. He is a GOOD guy. His stories are funny when you hear them the first time. BUT THEN HE RECYCLES THE SAME DAMN JOKES ALL THE TIME. They are funny once, twice, MAYBE three times. Otherwise, it get's quite annoying. I don't get why he doesn't give A's though:(--i still think you should take him at least once
he is the best teacher iv had so far. very funny and outgoing. he does say the same jokes over and over but hes an older man and thas what they do.he isnt hard on with assigments and extremly flexible with deadlines. i would recommend him to everyone=)
good sense of humor..funny kinda cat!!! tells the same stories a time or two or three, but thats okay..this prof expects you to pay attention and do all assignments..he can be flexible with deadlines which is always good...he's not tight at all...everyone should take his class, maybe they should just clone him :) ... WHOO HOO! great professor!
he is nice person, but you will learn nothing from his class, because everybody just talking about themselves. He is talking 2 hours about nothing. If you want to learn how to write an essay this professor is not gonna help you. he is never gonna tell you what he wants to see in essay, but he will give a lower grade.
Professor Rooney is the best prof I had ever had.He is fun but strict at the same time .Very easy and understandable prof.Really care about students,excellent for grading.I earn a very easy A in his class.I took him for the winter midule excellent prof.Easy with grading,not hard on students and fun at the same time.I will highly recommend everyone
I did not like this professor at all. He is just telling the stories, instead of teaching you. it is an easy class, but useless. I am not going to recommend this professor
Had him in the winter 2010. Pros:Can come to class whenever you want(dc about attendance), organized,tell jokes, let class out 20mins early. Sometimes let us out 2hrs before next class starts. Must read mice and men Excellent novel. Cons:not a fair grader for ppl who put a lot of effort. repeat jokes. must read many short stories everyday.
I am going to take him in summer 10 so wish me luck. i really want this kind of proff thanksy guys
Definitely take him if you can. He is nice and intelligent person. During summer module gave us to write 4 essays, 1 paper based on "Of Mice and Men", and final. I think good attendance affect your grade and he has a good sense of humor. I wish more teachers would be like him.
He was a wonderful teacher he kept it interesting just exactly what i needed.
He is fantastic! I love going to his class! This is my second Eng 12 class and I deff have a good feeling about this one. Since I know you read this Professor Rooney.... You are the bomb diggity! =)
if you are native speaker that's great, otherwise, you'll get low grade. you can learn nothing about English from him. He just want you listen his joke and perfect grammer in your essay. :(
he is the easiest teacher ever if you dont get an A+ in his class your retarded just show up so serious
Great guy! Will learn a lot of interesting things from him without working hard. he is a fair grader and he treats everyone equally. Don?t listen to that person who said he isn?t a fair grader with natives. Extremely untrue!! His classes are fun and nowhere near boring. if u have him for a teacher, u are very lucky
he is a very easy prof. makes sure everyone uderstands his assignments. He's very friendly and understandable and a good grader! easy A
I am international student and was in the country for 3 years at the moment i took his class,he is a good professor i got A- on his class.he is funny and essays were not difficult at all,mostly you write about your own opinion.
So funny, makes class interesting, if you have a pulse you will get at least a B
Great Class, Great professor.
Love Roonapediea!
He is the MAN
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! I loved going to his class! He is hysterical and his papers were enjoyable to write. I would love to take another class with him.
Great professor!!!!!!
He is Amazing,Awesome,Wonderful and what not.Love his Rooneypedia,it was great experince in his class.I wish he teaches all the classes besides English.He is amazing professor, very organized, helpfull,and a knowledgeable teacher teacher.I learned a lot in his class and would prefer him for Eng,2400 also.God Bless him,Prof;Rooney you are great:)
EASY A!!!!
kooooool dood . He is the best professor who could ask for anything more? Easy A although I wanted an A+. I wished he taught other classes.
I would recommend this professor for those who don't want to learn anything. He's super easy, doesn't give a lot of homework, and jokes around a lot.
easiest professor! he just wants you to sit and listen to his jokes and stories - if you want to learn then this class isnt for you. if you just want an easy a than take him!!!! his research paper is only 2-3 pages about anything medical sooo easy!!
Best and easiest professor you will ever have! His stories are hilarious.
Professor Rooney was such an easy professor! No tests, just essays. Definitely recommend him!
HI I DID ENGLISH 24 WITH HIM. I HAVE NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT HIM. HE GOES OVER EACH CHAPTER OF THE DESIGNATED BOOKS. HES VERY CLEAR ON INSTRUCTIONS. HE ALWAYS ANSWERS QUESTIONS.
This guy is an angel, comedian, and professor altogether. He is easy with his class but you better read the assigned books and don't miss his classes because this professor deserves respect. He is very funny. He can joke non-stop. Seems like he used to work on Comedy Central. You learn a lot from his class!
Took this class twice before & failed miserbally. I wasnt excited about taking this class again but rooney makes you feel relaxed. He is easy to talk to & makes you want to participate. Loved his in class discussions & roonapedia. And he is very animated.
Guys believe me.... he is the best professor, easy an A. i was absent 8 times, and still got A- isnt this cool??
He is, by far, the best Professor I've ever had. He is passionate about his work and extremely helpful. It was definitely a pleasure being in his class. His classes are interesting and not stressful. Thank you for your confidence.
He is a great instructor..you cannot fail his class unless if you are dumb. Easy A. His materials are very clear. I loved his ronnpedia and his cracking old jokes ?? definitely one of the few professors I ever met who is passionate about teaching. the only contact to him is leaving him a note in his office.
LOVEEEE this guy. So funny. nicest professor ever and def makes the class interesting. TAKE HIMMM
Seriously one of the best teacher i have encoutered in my life
In my mind, I nicknamed him Professor Looney Rooney. lol He's very humorous and definitely brightens up the classroom. Fantastic to have for my first semester of college. Light workload, easy grader, and loves to share knowledge. However, he is not a professor you want to have you want a more challenging environment and better feedback on writing.
Do not leave Kbcc without taking him. I passed this class with an easy A. He is hilarious !
I took him in the short summer semester and he was by far the best educator who I've ever had in all my English classes. I feel that most English Professors change the content of your essay while editing, without fully reading it. Prof. Rooney on the other hand, is very smart and motivational, making very useful comments while grading papers.
Took him for winter semester, read reviews was expecting a hilarious, easy going guy. This professor took up the whole two hours talking about himself. If you can sit through the same old unfunny jokes and topics (That have nothing to do with the books assigned btw) then please take this class. His essay and final are a joke. Would not take again.
HES A GOOD PROFESSOR, COME TO CLASS to the FINAL project you will PASS !
The best ever.. I love him so much.. Thanks prof Rooney
such an amazing professor, def take him, you will not regret it, only 3 easy essays, so understanding,
Great teacher, hand in every single assignment, you can have him proof read your work 2-3 days in advance and he will tell you if it needs to be brushed up. Loves to talk about the presidents of the USA. If you did not read the books you won't get a A on your essays.
This professor is so easy I took him for both eng 12 and 24. He's an easy A but he doesn't give out A's that often it'll mostly be a B+, just do his essay's and you'll be fine and always show up.
He is one of the best professors I've ever saw. He is very helpful, fair and sometimes so funny (likes to joke around ) what makes the lecture being not bored, would recommend him to those people who don't like a lot of HW and Tests
Best Prof. in KBCC
best professor i ever had !
Professor Rooney is the best professor in the world. He is so nice and easy and there is absolutely nothing bad to say about him. I love this guy. Always cracking jokes and is so funny but repeats all of the jokes until you know them by heart. He's just the best. I recommend him. Simply the best. Essays are easy to get an A on.
Love him ! He is the best, a very easy A.
He was a very nice professor. No home works just read the pages he assign you. Your grades depends on very easy In class essays he gives you once every two weeks and a research paper as a final. He is very easy its impossible to fail his class.
No hw only assign pages to read for hw then go over it in class . Also you need that same book when you taking the in class tests . Easy A . His very funny . Very nice professor would take him again
Best professor ever EASIEST class I've ever took I'm going to name my baby after him willmina lol inside joke only his previous students will get it I'm really expecting though
TAKE HIM NOW. IM NOT EVEN A MORNING PERSON BUT I HAVE HIS CLASS FIRST THING IN THE AM AND HE MAKES IT WORTH IT .. BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD IN KB YET . HE IS THE MAN .. REAL DOWN TO EARTH BUT GET READY TO READ AND DO SOME ESSAYS ,, PRETTY MUCH AFTER THAT YOU'LL BE FINE
To say that he's the best professor would be an understatement. He tries so hard in making the class fun. You would have to put an effort in failing his class
This class was super easy! In fact it was the easiest class I took in kingsborough This guy is a joke. If you want to improve your writing this guy is DEFINTELY NOT to take. If you don't care then take him easy A. You'll write an essay every week and at the end a research final paper. Piece of cake he'll just give you an A anyway
THIS GUY IS AWSOME. TOOK HIM DURING THE SUMMER, DON'T REGRET IT ONE BIT. HE ALWAYS HAS A STORY TO TELL, AND THAT TAES UP MOST OF THE CLASS TIME RESULTING IN A PRETTY ENJOYABLE CLASS.
Hes an EASY A. literally just show up and listen to his stories that he repeats all the time and you'll get an easy A alongside with having to do his simple essays. Example of what he teaches: Parts of Speech -_-...
BEST EVER MUST TAKE!
His a very nice professor. Very caring and understanding. He loves to joke a lot and makes class fun. All you have to do is one research assignment and in class essays. His a very easy grader so if you do all your work the lowest grade he will give you is a B.
Professor Rooney is by far one of the best english professor here in Kingsborough. I took his class over the summer. His class books can be found in the library. Actually looked forward to attending class. Overall he is a chill professor and is hilarious in my opinion.
He's a really nice person but dont expect to learn much from his class. He's full of stories and has a great sense of humor. It never felt like a task when coming to his class because he's cheerful and doesn't ask much from you. There were three writing assignments, an essay and a final essay.
Professor Rooney is the best whippersnapper teacher you ever had. Had me cracking up the whole semester. Always looked forward to having him. Felt more of a gift having him. Very caring and pushes students to their best! TAKE HIM, you wont regret it!!'! He's amazing
Professor Rooney is awesome! You would have to work hard to fail this class. You should do the readings but he goes over them in class so it's not needed. Funny stories but very repetitive so be patient. 1 research paper and you pick the topic. In class essays. Crazy easy class. Definitely take this class!
Now I can definitely say that I have met the best professor at KBCC. What a wonderful human being . He makes class so much fun . Actually I'm learning a lot from him in every field. The best class I've ever taken. Take him if you are lucky enough to find an open spot.
Great professor Highly recommend taking his class.
Prof. Rooney is the best Really nice and funny guy
one of the best prof in kingsborough
Best professor ever
One of the best professors on this earth)
This professor is the best one he is very funny. He will help you with anything
Okay so I took Rooney back in the Winter 2019 but I am writing this review now because he is a professor you will think about, that's how memorable he is. He is understanding, and caring. He answers any questions you may have. He gave us 3 books to read throughout the course, essays for each of them, & then a final essay. He is funny too, take him!
He was best professor at KBCC. I took classes with him, hes funny, caring for students and making students laugh during the lecture. Now Im attending a college for bachelor degree and the professors are extremely tough and not creating well as Professor Rooney. I wish he was my professor again at New my college. Take him and enjoy whole semester.
He is the best!!! Very easy class he gives three very easy in class essay all three are worth 33%(needs to be three body paragraphs intro& con) research paper that's worth 33% (only needs to be 4 pages). In class final tells you the topics before so you only need to read the chapter that you decide to write on. Take him the easiest A you will get
He is an easy A. Three in class short essays, a research paper and final. He doesnt give lower than a b
Professor Rooney was a very well and respectable professor. He shows he cares about his students every day and always makes the class laugh. Very "punctual," as he says, and just a good man all-around. Would definitely take him again as he is the best professor I've had at KB so far.
i hope this review gets your attention because i love helping people. You will improve your writing, reading and you will learn a lot of new helpful thins that could benefit you in the future. For a student like me whose English isn't the first language this professor is the one you need! 10/10 i ranked him a N1 professor in KBCC. Thank me later!
