Reviews of professor Dominic Pigneri

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Overall Amazing Professor has a unique treat of humor which makes the class overall more fun. Tests are pretty straightforward as long you take notes during lectures because everything he says will be on the test.

His religion 235 class has no quizzes or tests just papers that are due almost every month. Pretty easy to write papers too and one final paper. For his religion 100 class was also great tests were based off everything that he talked about and whatever he wrote in the board. Make sure to participate in the lectures makes class not boring.

Professor Pigneri is really good. His lectures are funny and engaging. He said at the beginning of the semester that he was working on responding to emails faster, and all of my emails were responded to within 24 hours, so I would disregard the old reviews talking about that. There aren't a lot of graded assignments, so study hard for the tests.

He's so difficult to get in touch with over email. You will take 3 exams and be tested on the readings you have to do before every class which will average about 30 pages. You're out of luck if you miss a class because he has no lecture slides or anything. The class was easy but his lack of communication was the reason I finished with a poor grade.

Professor Pigneri was very nice and fun in his lectures. He did go off topic sometimes but everything that he tests on is always written on the board. His class is very easy, you show up for attendance/participation points and you take 3 tests & 1 final exam. Our only projects were a small presentation for a given religion and interviewing people.

Ask questions about paper requirements. Ask help if your paper didn't get a good grade.

Professor Pigneri is a super cool dude and very funny. The only grades in this class are 3 exams and a final paper. All of his exams are open response and the prompts are strangely worded and tend to be confusing. He also stated that his goal is for the class average for exams to be a 75% so take that as you will. Not a lot of wiggle room.

Okay ! This course is very bad and very hard  because he's unorganized and doesn't give you the "What you need to do " for this course . For me , he isn't helping anyone and he grades everyone according to what his brain tells him . None of the rubric nor the paper instructions are understandable , you got to guess what he wants .

This teacher is extremely inflexible and inconsiderate. The average for one of his intro to theology class tests  sits at about a 54% average and is considered "a good average." When asked feedback on the tests be prepared for "this is the right answer but needs more" and get a 2/20. He does not reconsider anything if half the class is failing.
