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

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 -_-...

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 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.

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

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.
