Comment:
In addition to being my Academic Advisor at UD, I took three classes taught by Dr. Pestritto. I found his classes to be engaging; I especially appreciated the throurough breakdown of political concepts, their sources, and modern consequences. Personally, Pestritto is a Traditional Catholic (as am I), but I did find his world view to be miopic.

Comment:
His lectures break down complex issues, his study guides list everything covered in the class, his tests are fairly difficult. His papers require you to condense a large amount of material into a liitle bit of space. If he likes you AND thinks that you are working hard, then he is an easy grader, but if not, then he will fail you and enjoy it.

Comment:
I love the Pestritman. He is so knowledgable and presents the information in a very clear way. Since he is so passionate about politics, sometimes he rambles on when someone asks a question. Really wants us to learn the material. Plus I hear he goes to Mater Dei, which is always good in my book.

Has no idea what he is saying whenever he opens his mouth. Everything he told me was contradicted by another professor. I felt he had little to no concern for his students.

Comment:
Extremely engaging, fun and helpful. Really knows the issues and is always willing to discuss. Tests are choose (5) of (6) essay prompts that ask for a straight-forward understanding/ explanation of class lecture material, so you don't really have to read.

Supposedly the pre-law adviser for the school, but not very helpful, and pretty ignorant of actual legal issues.

Comment:
I had Dr. Pestritto last fall and it was definitely one of the most engaging classes I've had. He is very thorough with the materials. Although there are no papers to write, he does make his students learn the materials. Take his class!
