Reviews of professor Luciano Volpe

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is unique. Had him last semester. Unfortunately, he only teaches this one course. I would take any other course he teaches.

You'll either love him or hate him. Not the class for you if you have social anxiety but personally found this to be the most engaging class I've had at UofT. Inspirational as he talks often about his multi-million dollar startup. Be prepared to know "why?" 

Feels like if ADHD was a class, which I love because I have ADHD, Most engaged I've been.

Luciano likes to tease students and it makes people uncomfortable. He can be offensive if you don't answer what he wants. Didn't learn from class because he talks a lot about irrelevant stories. The papers are marked harshly due to a lack of rubric and clear instructions. Nobody knows what to expect...

Only material is cases - which I highly doubt he reads himself. Lectures are driven by class participation with the exception of the professor talking about his personal business's problems (no one cares). Extremely rude and picks on students. No idea how this guy is a professor. I guess you either love him or hate him, I would be the latter.

Prof Volpe really loves activating your fight or flight in his class. The course is heavily participation-based and he loves aggressively teasing students to near tears. Although I found the cases to be interesting, it seemed like he barely read them himself. His grading seemed to favour quantity over quality and there was never helpful feedback.

Unique. Best ever and inspiring lectures.

This prof was AWESOME. I'm so disappointed in reading some of the below. He's authentic and upfront and keeps his word. Don't expect to be fed answers. He's a business guy who does this on the side - but he obviously cares. I just finished 4th year and he gave more about real world application than any other prof I've had.

Luciano was an amazing professor and taught unconventionally. His lectures were sporadic and unpredictable, keeping things engaging and entertaining. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Participation is a key part of his class though, so if you don't like talking in front of the class be wary.

If you want a transformative experience at Rotman Commerce, choose him.

He is very self-centered, you rather hate him or love him. In my opinion, not anything close to a good professor.

Most unintelligent prof i have ever met. Do not take this class. He never reads the cases yet loves the sound of his own voice. No marking scheme, I'm pretty sure he just gives a random grade depending on how he feels about you. His ego is huge but even a huge ego can't hide that there is nothing of substance he has to offer the world.
