An absolute bro. This guy is so chill but you can also tell he's really smart. Learned a lot and hoping to take another one of his classes! Also, he gives really good feedback

i get that he's a nice guy and all, but this class had ZERO technical instructions. he taught us as if we already had a working knowledge of tableau and g-sheets, which i certainly didn't, especially because this class is catered to BEGINNERS. ralph, you're a cool guy but omfg let's prioritize not leaving your students behind, please!!!!!

Prof Vacca is such an amazing guy! I took his Creative Coding class having never learned an ounce of coding and he made it so digestible. There were people in the class who were much more advanced, so he worked with them to make sure every student got a valuable experience. No stress class but I feel like I learned so much!! Take him

Such an awesome professor and definitely a must take! Lots of cool HWs, projects, relaxing brainstorm activities. Takes baby steps in lessons. Always understanding of everyone's situation and the workload. Gives great feedback and takes our feedback to tweak the syllabus actively. Very approachable, will help you on anything! Wants you to excel!

Ralph Vacca is extremely understanding of each student's capabilities. He is always accessible outside of class and really engaging and interesting in class. He genuinely cares for his students. Highly recommend his class!

Professor Vacca is a really nice guy, easy grader, and you will learn a lot from his class! The one thing that I found really annoying was there is so much group work and group projects, it's insane. I personally am not a fan of group work ALL THE TIME, but other than that this is an amazing class and I would definitely recommend it.

Ralph was the best professor I had at Fordham by far. He truly changed the way our NMDD-filled class began to look at design careers. He's super accessible to talk about jobs, schools, and portfolio work. Do yourself a favor and take as many classes of his as you can.
