Comment:
He's a knowledgeable teacher who makes the class enjoyable. The class isn't difficult if you pay attention. Tests are multiple choice. He does NOT respond to emails, he prefers meeting in person. Could not see all of the lecture videos and he didn't fix the problem. I risked it and took the test anyway, passed the test.

Comment:
The only three grades for this course were three tests. The material comes from his lectures, his lectures are recorded and some of them are hard to understand. There are no captions, I had to replay his lectures multiple times to get what he was saying. His lectures consist of power points with only pictures. He rarely answers emails.

Comment:
Only had three test (test heavy) in which we had to do lots of research for since the videos he provided were not very helpful. We had to take our own notes but it was hard to hear what was being said and for the last few videos, they could not be played. He does not answer emails on outlook or canvas when we needed help.

Comment:
Worst professor I've ever encountered. He went off on me because I emailed him and he said he wasn't accepting emails. We could only ask him questions in person... even though its a whole PANDEMIC occurring. Like that made zero sense. His online class was extremely confusing, I didn't know what was going on, hence to me emailing him.

Took him in first 8 block, at first when ECU was hybrid he didn't want us emailing him and only do in person chats even though the class was online. Had homework but it wasn't graded so no one did it. Only grades were the midterm and final. If you got 100 on the final then you got 100 in the class. If it wasn't online would've definitely been rough

I'm sure he's a good teacher during normal circumstances, but completing this class required me to go to the post office to mail a scantron, which was inconvenient and somewhat concerning during the pandemic. I will say, the letter he sent out using Hamlet quotes to complain about air conditioning was hilarious, though, so that was cool I guess?

Comment:
Avoid him if possible. I was sick and missed one class on a quiz day and it completely ruined my grade. He told me he would work with me and then the end of the semester came and he acted like he didnt know me. Told me not to worry about my grade because its in the past. Dont even try emailing him because he will not respond.

I took this class for an easy A, but it ended up being one of my favorite classes. Take his class if you want something easy, but you must be willing to still put in effort IN CLASS. He's hilarious and I'll remember his class forever.

Comment:
History of Pompeii is the easiest and best class you will take at ECU. He wants everyone to get an A and lets you out early every day. He is passionate about what he teaches and gives the easiest exams you will take. Just show up and that's all you will have to do, graded on 3 exams.

I thought this would be an easy A. I missed one class the whole semester. He does not take attendance but if you skip his class you won't pass. 2 take home quizzes but 2 impossible quizzes that had nothing to do with the readings. Professor is cool and easy class in the past, but has changed the game up. My friends and I ended up with C's.

If you are required to take Greek and Latin vocab do NOT take it here with Cerutti. Although he is very knowledgeable on these topics, we did not learn anything about Greek or Latin after the second week of class. Not to mention having to spend money on a work book that we didnt use. Although he is an interesting person I dont recommend his class

The class itself was an easy A, but that's only if you can get through being taught by prof Cerutti. Always late to class, uses profanity, acts erratically (like he's on something or needs to be) & DONT BRING YOUR PHONE TO CLASS! He has a big thing against technology, won't even allow you to email him. Only grades quizzes, first few are take home.

Dr. Cerutti is truly a man who can tell a story. If you find the material interesting then this is a class you will definitely look forward to. Exams were a breeze AS LONG AS YOU SHOW UP. He makes it very clear at the beginning of the course attendance is not mandatory BUT as long as you show up to class it is the easiest A you will ever get.

Such a cool professor. Hilarious if you can take sarcasm. Assigns homework every class but goes around the class randomly to call on you. He is a very knowledgable professor. You have 5 pop quizzes randomly and 2 tests. Just go to class. Impossible not to get an A...

Comment:
In all fairness, Dr. Cerutti seems like he genuinely cares about learning and this will counter a lot of things other people are saying about him. In his Greek and Latin course, he has taken to giving 5 pop quizzes that each count as 10% of your overall grade, only university excuses accepted. He rips into people, which they only sometimes deserve.

10 quizzes which aren't the same each semester. Can sign up to read each class which is a bonus point to final grade. Doesn't use technology so at end of semester u must go to his office to calculate EC, u miss a quiz then u will not receive bonus points. Hates phones so will call u out if he sees it. Attendance isn't mandator, recommended.

Absolutely love Mr. Cerutti! He is hilarious and knows what he's talking about. He doesn't care if you show up or not but if you do be respectful and not have your phone out, because he will call you out on it if he sees it. All of the material is really interesting and the tests are super easy. Show up to class and pay attention for 45min. EASY
