Reviews of professor Christopher Durante

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's okay if you expect a theology class in which you write 4 pages minimum weekly. Know what you write because he is a tough grader. If one sentence of your writing doesn't seem right he will give you an 80 instead of a 95-100, even if your paper is well done. Heavy participation, only offers th120 in the afternoon so try to not have any lab class

Dr. Durante is a really good professor. Hes better than the other religion and philosophy professors because hes cool and approachable and doesnt seem stuck in his ways. Its obvious he knows his stuff and he makes class interesting. Definitely recommend!

Professor Durante is one of the best at St. Peter's tbh. His class is great. Definitely participate, he loves that. Also, no final!! Just a presentation. I also recommend going to office hours.

Only gives afternoon classes in the fall semester so plan on taking him for a fall semester. Heavy tester, final are all essays which he critically grades so you have to read a lot to write an in-dept response on the essays. Also Participate!!!! It is 25% of grade in his Theology class, he will know if you participate or not.

To be honest, He doesn't really help you as a student, You are on your own. Don't Expect Him to work with you. If you miss something don't think about doing it because it is done you get a 0. Tests are designed to allow you to do one question at a time without being able to go back or skip the question till the end.

English is my second language and I consider myself fluent on the english language but I felt like he disliked me because I have a hispanic accent. We did 3 presentations in the semester. On top of the presentations he assigns writing assignments weekly! (4 pages minimum) write what you think he wants you to answer. The class was online- Spring Sem

When grading writings he's tough, I don't recommend this class if you're not an advanced enligsh writer. He assigns essays practically every week since the class depends heavily on lectures. Also, almost 90 pages of reading for every quiz (there are 5 quizzes during the semester 25% of your grade) they're in blackboard and they're timed, so READ!!

GREAT professor! Don't expect to sit quietly in the back of class.. you will have to talk at some point but he makes you feel comfortable and the class is interesting so you'll want to. He also doesn't make anyone feel stupid with what they're saying so everyone can join in.

HARSH GARDER and HEAVY TESTER. he's a VERY harsh grader with the final which is an essay done in class. considering that the people that got the best final grade in his class was an A-. A recommendation from me is taking his class when you're a junior since he's a heavy grader; also most of the people that take his class are upper level anyways.
