Reviews of professor Raymond Ruggiero

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
VERY WRITING HEAVY! There are 6 papers each 5 pages due a semester. In the beginning, it's hard to get accustomed to the structure, but Prof. Ruggiero makes time for extra help if needed. He also genuinely cares. Classes have mandatory attendance but are funny and discussion-based. Amazing prof and interesting class but very human-rights centered.

He makes you write 6 different essays but gives you a specific outline you must follow. His essays are pretty easy because they follow the same format. He is very lenient with due dates and grading. He wants everyone to receive an A so he will give you feedback and give you a second chance to revise your paper to get an A. NO MIDTERM/FINAL.

This professor gives weekly readings with a 5-page essay due every two weeks and the class itself after the first few weeks became irrelevant towards the class assignments and we just talk about current events. He also calls you out in front of the class if you are missing work but he also brags to the class about you if you do well.

He'll email you with attitude you didn't follow the impossible guideline and wont grade your paper. He forgets everything within seconds of saying it and sounds like a broken record when giving his lecture.His papers will run you ragged giving that he dosnt allow you to go the writing workshop for help "because they dont understand his outline".
