Definitely my favorite professor at UConn. I am premed and took this class as an elective. Lots of reading (but I enjoy it). Attend class and take notes even if you didn't do the reading. Just hearing the content will help you remember it and get As on the midterm and final. Very nice man, I would highly recommend the class to anyone.

Hands down the most boring class I have ever taken. It was actually agonizing to listen to his lectures. You don't need the $50 book, everything is online. The papers make no sense. I learned nothing in this class. Can't read his handwriting either. He seems like a nice guy just boring as ever. There are many other better English classes.

He's an excellent professor, but this class isn't easy. He is a fair, but tough, grader. I liked what we read, but I wouldn't really recommend this class to non-majors (I took it as a gen-ed). The material can be dense and hard to properly analyze. But, if you can put in the needed work, it's worth it. Note that the class size is very small.

Comment:

At first I was terrified I would fail Professor Recchio's class. However, I put work into my essays and ended up with an A. I didn't read most of the assignments. Tom cares about the subject and his students. He's a great guy, but a bit of a hard ass. He says things people don't like hearing but an A is definitely achievable.

Comment:

Although many people hold Tom in high regard, he is not the best professor. He is unclear with expectations on all assignments. He is rude and somewhat degrading to students, but I don't think his intention is to come off this way. To be honest I feel as though I have learned nothing in his class.

This fake smart professor is the very worst professor I've ever had, and no one loves English more than I do. Not only is this man ill-informed and confused, but he treats his students with arrogance and distain. Beware, this man is secretly incredibly stupid. I think my IQ dropped since I took his class. Can PhDs be revoked?!
