Reviews of professor Riccardo Ferracuti

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is a great person, has a lot of experience to share with everyone & he truly cares about your success. Often it felt like we weren't getting any practice because there was so much tangent time & discussions. While those discussions can be very helpful, it was frustrating to lose precious practice.

I tried to take this professor because of the decent reviews but he is such a hard grader and doesnt teach you much. He expects you to learn everything on your own. It is very hard. Not a lot of class work or homework but because he doesnt teach you much it is hard to complete what he does assign.

I absolutely love Ricky. I had him for ASL 2&3 and he was by far my favorite teacher. Very skilled (duh hes deaf) and caring. I was sick most of the semester and he was very flexible and understanding with assignment deadlines. Funny and tells lots of interesting story. Does go off on tangents often, but will somehow tie them into the lecture.

ASL 201 course was difficult to keep up with. Time to time there would be an interpreter to help guide you on what he expects out of this course. American Sign Language is hard to master and comprehend but He is a passionate teacher and you can tell he cares for his students and wants to have a bond with them. He expects you to learn the criteria.
