Reviews of professor Julian Costa

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Honestly treats the whole room of adult college students like high schoolers - no respect and such belittling teaching qualities. Also provides you with a strict outline guideline for speeches and only allows you to go up with 4 words per line to remember your speech. Idk how you're expected to elaborate a whole speech off of 4 words.

Doesn't acknowledge the mental work that goes into public speaking and made the class really inaccessible for ppl with any mental illnesses or disabilities. He doesn't use the textbook, post grades, or use classes or email. Told us to talk to him in person about everything but was rarely accommodating. Extremely condescending, just switch out :/

No email, RUDE, arrives late, deducts letter grade if you're late for a speech, grades based on 8 speeches. If you miss it, no make ups. If you show up and do everything for your speeches, you'll pass easily but BORING lectures. Needs everything done his way. There are much better speech profs at CCNY but easy A if you do outline and speak well.

Very helpful and the class teaches you a lot.  Just don't miss class because there's a lot of material.

Absolutely amazing professor, one of my best experiences at Pace. Felt as if the way the class was structured actually helped me learn skills for the real world.

His class is an easy A.  He's very practical and willing to help you with the projects.

I had to drop his class because he was so rude and strict. You could only have 4 words per line on your speeches and if you had more than 4 per line you automatically don't get an A on that piece. He was very picky about how you stand, how you breathe, how you perform during your speeches, gave me very high anxiety when going up to present.

Prof.Costa is an amazing Prof and is considered a close friend to me outside of school when we are doing CCM all access and I worked with him back then in 2022.He is honestly a great guy and nobody knows him the way I do and told stories of himself back then and I understand he's the type of guy to be bad, but he ain't bad.He gives me extra credit.

Professor Costa is by far the worst
professor I've had at Pace. He is very
rude, gives attitude because he has no
patience and makes the room tense
because no one likes him. He made
people uncomfortable, as soon as he
stepped into the room everyones energy
changed negatively.
