Professor DiRaimo is an amazing professor! Not easy by any means but I learned a lot about writing during this course. Class participation matters. He's super funny and just wants you to forth the effort.

Extremely funny dude, but his class is tough. I took Film Study because I figured it would be a fun and easy credit. It was not. Lots of assignments and it's crucial you don't fall behind.

Comment:
DiRaimo's American Lit. class was my ultimate favorite here at MCC. Though he holds the bar high, the reading content and his lectures were so interesting! He has a wonderful sense of humor which keeps the lectures lively, and he's always eager to help his students.

Wonderful Teacher! Had him for many english classes and a film study coure. He is stict but is easy to pass with an A if you do the work that is expected and are respectful of his rules.He is always willing help. Take his englih 101 class and the rest of college wriing will be a cake walk...it's tough but well worth it.

Had Mike DiRaimo when I was an undergrad at MCC. I am now in a Masters program 5 years later and I can honestly report that I have never had as great a teacher as him. His knowledge and passion for the subjects he teaches is incomparable. He's witty and expects a lot but when you do well, you feel rewarded. I'll never forget his classes.

Comment:
Worst professor ever. I have no idea why people say he is so good when half the class had withdrawn by the end of the semester. This teacher is a joke and is not clear at all on what he wants or expects. Never recommended for anyone. Worst professor I ever had here at MCC

P. DiRaimo was a great teacher. If you are considering taking a class with him BE ON TIME, be respectful, and do the homework. Follow these three guidelines and you will enjoy the class. And don?t expect it to be a walk in the park just because you get to watch movies, there is a lot of writing involved.

Ok professor. Not the best. I've seen better at MCC. He starts class on time so please do not be late or use the bathroom. Also if you plan on missing a class and you email him for an excusse he will not care. He does not give you the chance to make up work even if you have a school ligitiment excusse (as in death of a loved one or sick loved one)

Your either going to love him or hate him. i started doing great in his class then got lazy and fell behind. he does expect you to work, but is a great teacher. if your honest and upfront with him he may cut you some slack. if you really wanna learn and put in the hard work and get the satisfaction from it, then i definitely recommend him.

He was never objective when it comes to giving a feedback. I was very disappointed in his movie class. I thought it would be great, turned out to be a nightmare. Go with the other prof. MCC could do better.

I thought Mike DiRaimo was a great teacher. Pay attention and do the work and you'll have no problems. Get lazy and fall behind...no on to blame but yourself. Mike is a super nice guy and very willing to help you succeed. You have to want to do so!

DiRaimo doesn't play around...thank God. One of the few classes good students can enjoy. Gives your brain a great workout; you leave class feeling rewarded, which is rare. He is NOT disrespectful to students, but DOES expect you to respect him and your classmates. And some of us appreciate that. Huge heart, really loves teaching and his students.

Been a while since I had Michael for a teacher, 2003 actually, but, he is a fantastic teacher. He is professional, personable, and a hard worker at what he does. He expects the best from everyone, and you should from yourselves. He is an awesome asset to the teacher core of MCC, and should be a must for a class. A great teacher!

Mr. DiRaimo is probably the best teacher I have had throughout my college career. I took two courses with him, Film and Literature, and Film study. I got A's in both, but do not let that fool you. His classes are not easy by any means. He expects a lot from you, but is extremely knowledgeable and overall a terrific professor.

He is a great professor...but you need to really work hard to realize that. Film class was one of my most favorite, he is very enthusiastic. Also, he is very helpful in advising, so if you need help with transferring or course selection he's the one to go to!

I had Mike DiRaimo for American Literature I and he is by far the best professor I have ever had. I've since transfered to a private liberal arts college and have yet to be taught by a man of his caliber. If you get the chance, take one of his courses.
