Professor Colacurcio is definitely old school. His lectures are fantastic and thought-provoking. His quizzes are tough and long, but he only assigns three. He gives you three days to do them and drops your lowest score. He is lenient with grades and with deadlines. His final was 10 IDs, but he gave 16 passages to choose from... not tough at all if you've reviewed notes. Even though he's gruff, his class is well worth taking. It's important to keep up with reading as much as possible and take detailed notes. Altogether, I would recommend this class to a friend. I learned so much!
