Vincent Ferraro professor reviews and ratings: 4.2/5 from 26 student reviews at Northeastern. TRACE + RateMyProfessor + Reddit.
Funny and laid back. He assigned LOTS of outside readings instead of a textbook but hey, they're free. He's really approachable and it seems like he really wants his students to succeed. He's really helpful and was so passionate about immigration. I really saw the issue in a whole new light! The only downside is that he can be too casual at times.SOC3407 2010-07-02 13:46:54 +0000 UTC
I've taken 2 classes so far with Vincent and I would definitely take more. He makes class really interesting and is a very fair grader, but expect to work. I loved taking class with him. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I was always excited to go to his class, and not just because he is ridiculously good looking. Would definitely recommend him!DEVBEDRUG 2010-03-30 19:43:12 +0000 UTC
Great professor, knows what he's talking about and presents the class in a way that is relevant and interesting to college students. Really treats his students like equals, does not just lecture you as if you're a bunch of 4 year olds. Attendance not necessary but you want to be there; do the readings and you'll ace it.DRUGSSOC 2008-10-19 17:01:08 +0000 UTC
Okay so I think he's a pretty good teacher. Just make sure you site EVERYTHING even a definition because he is really strict with those things and it will affect your grade.SOC295 2008-09-03 13:50:47 +0000 UTC
he is a cool guy but there is ALOT of group work, so if you get a bad group you are pretty much in big trouble. I got 2 seniors that were graduating and a girl that disappeared second half of the term. As a teacher he is good, and he even gets to know your name but the class is not an easy A, so if your taking it for a requirement, dont.DEVBEDEVB 2008-04-29 20:47:47 +0000 UTC
He reads these comments... he'll probably know who this is =] Dev Behavior= GREAT class, GREAT professor, but heavy reading--that you need to do to do well. Really funny guy. Very open/ candid (told us a story relevant to the class about how he went to a playboy event...) and not too hard. Really chill person. Lots of group work.DEVIABEHA 2008-02-28 01:46:56 +0000 UTC
If you can get into one of his classes it's worth it, the subjects are interesting and he's a good teacher, and tries to keep his classes fun and interestingSOC285 2007-07-20 21:26:49 +0000 UTC
He's a fairly decent lecturer, but that's what this class is, a lecture. I feel like he could have inspired a lot more enthusiasm in his students and productive debates could have been held. It's an easy class, just not the most interesting.SOCU295 2007-04-01 14:37:03 +0000 UTC

He is really sweet and has a good sense of humor. Also, his powerpoints are posted online so you can print them off befor class and just take notes on them. accessable thru email and always willing to answer questions and provide help. and hes definitely a cute guy! mumbles a little but still a great teacher.JUVENILEDELINQ 2005-09-06 20:29:37 +0000 UTC
very helpful...nice guy...would take a class with him again...SOCU290 2005-08-30 19:52:35 +0000 UTC
This prof is great! Take the class you won't fail. He cares about you learning and understand the class. Good movies are showed in this class along with their discussion.JUVDELINQ 2005-08-24 18:52:03 +0000 UTC
Egotistic. How does he get away with it? Seems stuck on himself.SO102 2005-02-28 20:40:38 +0000 UTC
