Awesome
I honestly found this class to be quite challenging, but if you only show up regularly, you will actually pass. Huge part of the grade comes from essays, but he's available in his office in case you have questions, which will really be helpful for you. Tests are tough, but the study guides can immensely help you.

Awful
Prof. Ingrassia gives you a chance to revise an essay. However, a misplaced comma will get you a no grade.
