You can't be disengaged, he just won't let it happen. Even if it takes some shouting and fist pounding. Recommended to everyone.

Comment:
If you want to enjoy Coviello's class, just understand that he's already got a thesis in mind and has read so many secondary sources that he knows almost everything there is to say about a book? unless your comment is astounding, it just serves to fill in the blanks. Think about your "seminar" as a lecture: a really, really great lecture.

Comment:
Coviello is hyped a lot, but I think it's worth it. I'm not sure he even knows my name, but he is so engaging that my 50-person intro class has more discussion than anything else I'm taking. If you want to get a good grade, just go and see him.

Comment:
he gets great reviews, but i have him for my 'questioning the modern' seminar and i hate the class. he has too much of an agenda and no interest in students' opinions. if you disagree with him he basically tells you that you don't understand the book. all this class has done is make me feel stupid.

I'm not sure if this seminar is still offered, but if it is, TAKE IT. Prof Pete is the most insightful and fun professors I had, and i still talk about the stuff we discussed in this class and it's 5 years later.

Comment:
Professor Coviello is articulate, engaging, brilliant and funny. You should definitely take a class with him if you have the chance. He is great at leading class discussions, is very helpful in office hours and had a lot of very intelligent and original ideas about whatever we were reading. He is also very receptive to student comments.

Pete is the man. His salary should be doubled and he should be awarded several medals. He also plays a mean 80's sax.

Such a great professor! Makes the most boring literature exciting. Very passionate about his job. Lectures and discussions are always interesting. He's a little intimidating, but he's very nice and encouraging. You must take a class with him (esp if you're an english major)!
