Comment:
DiPonio is not for anyone who just wants to slide through the semester for an easy A. If you're serious about history and are a disciplined student, this is the professor to challenge you. Exams are based on lectures/text, it's not hard to get an A if you attend class and take good notes. You can tell which reviewers went to class and who didn't

Most important rule of the class: DON'T BE LATE. He hates late people and is not shy to let you know but other then that he is great. Test and quizzes are based of his lectures and the power points. There is no homework but you do need to study a lot in order to pass. Really great teacher

Everyone down there needs a reality check. Becuz da diponio I had made us take 20 pages of notes and nothing he says r on the test. True, he knows his stuff but harda**. No hmk-or work-everything is based on the test's n quizzes u take. He is extremely hard, take it if u want challenge other then tht ur screwed.

Absolutely fanTAStic! I have never been interested in history before, but Dr. DiPonio illuminates this subject so brilliantly it is still my favorite class since I've been at Henry Ford. Best teacher by a long shot! So interesting and super fun.

Dr. DiPonio is awesome! He is a lot of fun to listen to and is a caring and understanding teacher. That said, his tests and quizzes are challenging. I earned A's and B's on all of them, but I did take the time to prepare. Overall, he is a hilarious guy who really knows his stuff! He has the most hilarious spaz reactions when he gets excited.

AWESOME PROFESSOR! His class was funny, and actually rather interesting! i learned alot from it, and he actually got me to care about history, even though that's possibly the last thing I'd think to major in.

This dude is pure awesome. He's funny as all hell, especially when he gets excited about particular events (ask him about Giordano Bruno, lol). He's a real fun guy. I got an A in his class by taking good notes (he literally makes u write them down word for word anyway). It's a great class to be in.

He is a great professor. DiPonio is very enthusiastic and can be very fun. He is an effective educator and he has time for jokes, too! It is important to go to class every day because he does incorporate his lectures into his tests. It's all cake but definitely not a blow off. His Italian accent can be a little tough to understand.

Dr. Diponia is an excellent teacher! He knows his the material very well and cares alot for his students. However its college you have to actually work in order to get a grade that you deserve. His quizes are fair and his tests are word for word questions from the past quizes. Hes very educated and loves knowlegable people! great class great teache

Great guy, really helpful. He really likes to help his students, he practically gives you answers on the tests, but only if you attend class. Go to class, pay attention, and it's a guaranteed A.

DiPonio is an excellent professor who demands work, but is easy to approach and is more than willing to help with any questions you may have on the material. The class is actually fun, the textbook is easy to read, and he is a fun-spiritied guy. Despite his accent, he's understandable. Read and pay attention in class, and you'll do great.

This guy is a good teacher. His entire class sessions are all lectures, so u have to be there pretty much everyday. I do not reccomend him for someone who wants a blowoff, however he is a really good teacher for someone who wants to learn. His mid term is taken word for word from previous quizzes. Funny guy too!

Funny little Italian man who really enjoys the subject. You can see he has a good heart. Tries to help with reviews for tests but will hold back if people start skipping. Some memormizing, mostly from notes, and some reading required.
