Comment:
Overall, not great. He was rude to me upon asking about a source for an essay over email, simply because he never clarified this source was uploaded online as part of a different one, but somehow that was my fault. Lectures are pointless, he reads directly off of a paper, and never expands as to why what he is talking about is important.

Comment:
Great professor for Latin, very different from the typical, rigid-structure sorts that you usually get. Enthusiastic, and does like to ramble and digress into various subjects (so avoid his classes if you hate it when professors do that - personally I like variation). Always gives positive feedback, and tries to be as supportive as possible!

Comment:
Simple class. 2 short essays, a midterm, and a final. HOWEVER, the midterm is based on 25 readings and the final on 50, so if you can't commit to this then don't bother taking it. The papers are easy A's. Lecture is extremely boring, he reads directly from his own book (I looked it up, it's word for word), so everything you need to know is online.

Comment:
I really liked having Prof. D'Elia. He was very entertaining, and he definitely knew exactly what he was talking about. He was very approachable and open to talking about any walk of history, and was vastly knowledgeable on many topics. His lectures were never boring, and the subject matter he covered made me more interested as lectures went on.

Comment:
Goes through his lectures way too quickly, simply reading off of a piece of paper. He is very strange, not an awful prof but he is a terrible Undergraduate Chair of History; totally unfriendly and totally unhelpful. He does not seem to care in the least about the undergraduate history students that he represents

D'elia is very strange with an odd sense of humour. That said, he's a great prof with well written lecture notes and I wouldn't hesitate to take another course of his.

Prof was really good, very interesting. Had lecture outlines which made it easy to follow along. Overall a good prof, clearly passionate for teaching and the subject. Would recommend his class for sure.

Comment:
He assigns far too much reading, since only a portion of it is eventually tested. The lectures themselves he reads word for word from a script. This doesn't make them necessarily boring, but they are hard to follow, as they are very dense. He is not terribly entertaining, but did a good job considering the amount of information he had to cover.

He is a great chap. Like much of his humour. His lecture notes are that great and one would wish he would have them in a downloadable word format. he jumps from one century to the next but does it with some style and great intelligence.

Can be very unclear because he jumps between topics. His notes aren't very good, and he talks very fast so it is hard to keep up to when writing notes.

Reads his lectures and jumps from topic to topic. Very difficult to follow. The material itself is frivolous and uninteresting. Overall rating of the course: sticking a pointed, rusty object in my eye would have been less painful. On the flipside, some people I know enjoyed it.

Maybe if people actually studied and did the readings they wouldn't be complaining about this class. D'Elia's a little weird, but I enjoyed the class and learned a lot.

fantastic guy, to say that he digresses is an understatement... stay away from his lectures, but in a seminar environment, he absolutely rocks.
