Reviews of professor Mike Scicchitano

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Seriously, do not take this class under any circumstances unless you want to hate yourself. Taking it in the summer online was one of my top 5 life fails. It was more work than all of my other classes combined and the grading was terrible. He expects you to have two modules done in like, half a week. Dodge this class and thank me later.

Lots of work every week for each module, content was interesting but grading criteria was not specific at all, and assignments were vague (not supposed to be a policy expert, but had to come up with 3 alternative sol. for improving elem, education in FL??) Dr Mike is ok, but his TA just grades randomly or marks down for "wrong/weak" debate stances

The entire course is based around discussions & writing assignments, but there is no word requirement & very clear in instructions. The final paper is basically spoon-fed to you, tells you the details of he wants in each section & the exams are open-notes. Idk why he has such a low score, it's a very straightforward class & easy if you do your part

I took this class online so maybe that's why it was harder for me. The way that he writes is the most confusing thing ever. Every sentence is a run on, the grammar doesn't make sense, words are spelled wrong or completely missing. He is a nice guy and he answers emails quickly but nothing in this course makes sense. Good luck.

Get ready for a "cool dad" type. No clear expectations, got through less than half the material, class will make you want to crack your skull open on the desk. The only thing you learn are his catchphrases. Final paper is based on meetings, and he will talk over you without helping you at all. Oh, also, it's program evaluation, not policy.
