Comment:

This was my first time taking an ethics course and I must say, I learned a lot. Professor Frassinelli gave a decent amount of work throughout the course of the semester, but he provided excellent feedback. He is definitely a stickler with grammar and punctuation, but it has made me a better writer. I highly recommend taking a course with him.

I took COM 380 online during break. Great decision; gave me more time to focus on it. It was fast-paced and difficult, but I learned a lot. He gave great feedback and was quick to respond to emails. Participation mattered. He is incredibly intelligent, and his grading was fair. He stayed true to deadlines. I greatly respect Prof. Frassinelli.

This guy is great. even though it was a lot of work, it wasn't too bad and he's a lenient grader. He gives great feedback and grades papers at a fast rate. If you need to take this class I would recommend taking it with him.

Took Com 380 online with him. He pretty much lets you interpret class assignments the way you want to. For most assignments there are barely any guidelines so as long as you answer the question being asked you will get a good grade. Class assignments are interesting and not very difficult to complete.

Not very swayed into accepting late assignments but very nice and understanding. Always available, whether it be by phone or email. One time he called me to let me know I put my assignment in the wrong drop box, amazing professor, I would take another one of his classes in a heart beat!

Comment:

The class is super easy. Frassinelli will probably help students and he teaches everything as if every student knows nothing so help is abundant. If you can't figure out what this guy is teaching you must be deaf. You won't get by without the AP Style Guidebook. All the other books are probably useful but unnecessary.

Prof. Frassinelli makes political science interesting. He is very clear about the work and exams that are provided in class. Very fair and helpful. Easy A if you do the work.

If you have a clue as to how to write like a journalists then you're fine. He's also willing to work with students and is inviting during office hours. The AP Style Guidebook is a necessity in this class, but that's the only book you need. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you do go don't be late.

copyediting with this man is rediculous. 8am on the dot... he is crazy. he is basically out to get some of his students and loves to call them out. he's stuck up and loves to prove people wrong.

This man gives you a ton of work for an entry level course, and expects you to be a proffesional on your first try. HARD GRADER, MAD WORK, DON'T TAKE THIS MAN... also he is HORRIBLE when it somes to lateness and will drop you a letter grade for 3 lateness.

This guy is alright. His quizes and tests are easy if you just study and memorize the stuff on his study guides. He e-mails you everything that goes on in class so if you miss, it's not a big deal. He gives a lot of work and I guess that should be expected in a 300 level course. You should take this class with him, just be prepared to work.

if bruce doens't like you then you're screwed. agree with everything he says even when you write an opinion paper b.c. otherwise you will get straight C's. Content is okay but he makes the class harder than it should be.

He was great...in what other class would you study a Britney Spears video and then have a mutiple chioce test on the video. I thought he was great and I am barely missed any of his classes which is a miracle for me. He also was nice enough to be my sponsor for my intership even tho it wasn't in his job descpription

Pain in the butt. Gives out a ton of work & is a very unfair grader. Can be nice at times, but makes getting a good grade impossible with all the assignments and his grading policy. Don't take this class with him.

Not clear on what he wants, expects too much from an intro class, expects perfection w/o experience. Full of himself too...all he never talks about is his experiences, and whenever there is a guest speaker, he never lets students ask questions, it's always him.

I didn't like the class at all earlier in the semester...but now it's not too bad. Frass knows what he's talking about...sends you frequent e-mails so you know what is going on. And, oh yeah, he's got LOTS of experience. Read the biography he gives you at the start and you'll know what I mean

he was awful! not helpful or clear on what he wanted. he was more interested in himself than what you had to say. he also did not follow the curriculum- ewa209 is intened to teach the FORMAT of jlm, he focused more on current events and ENDLESS videos. does not like to give out As- considers B high

Yeah, Frass is pretty cocky, but he's a great teacher. Fair grader, work will kick your ass at times, but that's journalism, people. Don't get too riled up about his personality, because if you're a JRN major, you will experience worse. :)
