Hey guys, has anyone taken GEOG 3RW3- Italy with Dr. DeLuca and if so, I was wondering how you guys found the class (workload, difficulty, prof, etc)?
Thanks

I took it and dropped it, I went too class all the time and I took really good notes and I studied so hard for the first midterm and I got a 62 on the midterm the average was about a 60 but it was a brutal test he asked such random specific questions.

I heard most of the courses with Dr. DeLuca are like that, and then after he complains why students drop out and MSAF his assessments.

I had the same experience with Geog 3RW3 as "robrigib". Test One I didn't study for at all and got a 60. Test Two I studied very hard for and barely managed a 60. Dr. Deluca tests you on, in my opinion, useless and very specific details. I learned very little about Italy considering the vast amount of content he taught...But I can tell you specific details about 1000 world heritage sites in different towns in Italy all in a jumbled mess! Class average was very low and Dr. Deluca didn't seem to think this was a refection on him even a little bit.
