Comment:
Professor Rosso was one of the best professors I've had at Southern. My class shifted to remote learning in the middle of the semester and he was so helpful with making sure everyone still understood the content. He is so passionate about what he teaches and really wants to see his students succeed.

He's a very knowledgeable person and he may seem intimidating at first, but he's also very considerate of the situations students face. Utilize his office hours! There are points where the material got tricky and him explaining it one-on-one was very helpful. He puts in a lot of work for his students and genuinely wants them to succeed.

Professor Rosso is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches. He works hard to present the material in an interesting, sometimes funny, graspable way and expects you to work hard in return. His office hours are VERY helpful; if you go to them before each major writing assignment, you'll be golden.

Professor Rosso is easily one of the best professors I have had in my college career. He leads wonderful classroom discussions and brings energy to the room that is undeniable. He wants the most from his students (in a good way), and he is always available for office hours if you are struggling. I recommend taking any of his classes!

Rosso is a fantastic professor! His class was not super easy, and it takes a lot of work to get a good grade on his papers, but he will work with you as much as you need. Go to his office hours, trust me!! Participation is crucial and seems to be a large deciding factor of your grade for his class. Would take him again in a heartbeat!

Professor Rosso is awesome! he is cute too for a old man. However he is very helpful and I wish I could take him for every class. Out of all the professor that I could have he is number one and my faborite professor. He jokes around a lot so don't become offended. Class is interetsing and funny and the papers are also quite interesting.

If you are looking for a class to breeze through, keep looking. Rosso will make you work. Go to every class, you don't want to miss any notes. Buy the exact book he wants you to, not another version. With that being said, he is amazing. Very helpful and just a generally cool guy. One of my fav. classes for sure.

Favorite professor. Really cares about his students and is clearly passionate about the material he teaches. Classes are difficult, but I learned the most from them, and of all my classes, he is the most memorable and vauable teacher I had.

Comment:
I am also mixed on him. He was a very nice guy, but the readings were very boring. In class his instructions were never clear. I could never tell when a paper was due or when we were going to be quizzed/tested. Not enough work to be graded to show if we knew the material or not.

Comment:
I have mixed feelings about this class. On the one hand, he was very strange and somewhat inconsistent. On the other hand, I did well. He would threaten us with a quiz and then change the assignment to a paper, which we had 2 days to write. Never let us out on time. Class discussions were very abstract and boring.

If you're an English major...you need to take Rosso at least once.A lot of work,but really makes you sure if this is what you're supposed to be doing. Amazing personality and even better sense of humor.Truly one of the best professors out there.The work in class is justified by his demeanor and teaching skills. You will learn and love it.

Tony is the man! He really makes English fun and he makes it so you want to read. In class we had some of the most interesting discussions. Take him, you will not only become a better writer, but you will also find a new genre of literature that you will like.
