Reviews of professor Carmen Petaccio

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Fav professor at the U so far. Facilitates controversial topics in a respectful and humorous manner. He gives great feedback on papers and lets you revise them to get an even better grade. Homework every class but its very straightforward and helps for class discussion.

Such a great teacher! Super nice and caring. Over the course of the semester, you have to write 4 papers (4-5 pages, doubled spaced). Very easy to complete due to minimal homework. Most work is done in class, he gives you time to edit, and does peer review. Lowest grade he gave someone for the paper was a B and can edit papers for a higher grade.

I can't recommend Prof. Petaccio enough.  He covers some sensitive topics (i.e Michael Jackson and his accusations), but he does it in a respectable manner.  The class is discussion based, and you always feel like your opinion can be heard and never be afraid to speak up.  If you need an easy A, and a good class, take his.  One of the best at UM

Love this guy. Gives out interesting articles to read along with discussion posts to share our opinion. Its an easy A and a laid back class, I would 100% take it again.

There's not much else to say about Prof Petaccio other than he is the definition of the perfect college professor. Relaxed, gives good feedback, and most importantly prioritizes learning and discussion over a final grade. As long as you write your papers on time and speak in class you should get an A. The subject matter is very interesting as well.

Probably the best English teacher ever. Not a lot of reading, 5 papers overall, but literally all you do is work on them in class and do peer reviews. Awesome guy too, will not fail you, attendance is mandatory but he gives you 6 skips and he misses classes too. Awesome guy and will actually teach you how to become a better writer and editor.

Literally the most chill, down to earth, and relatable professor to have. He's a really chill grader and only gives 3 papers and discussion board posts that literally the easiest thing to do. He's funny asf during his lectures and legit cares about his students. I wish I can take him again cause he's legit that chill and good.
