Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 04/25/2023	He's a nice guy overall. Reads directly from his slides when he's "lecturing". The class itself is an easy A. Not very enthusiastic and has dull emotions. He doesn't teach. I don't think I learned anything from other than the fact that "when working in cybersecurity...you have to be ethical".
Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 04/22/2023	I thought Dr. Pellicone's part of this class was actually interesting, as opposed to the technical side, in which we didn't really learn anything. To be fair, we didn't learn much in this half of the class either, and he didn't teach much, just provided articles for us to read. I thought the debates were actually pretty enjoyable and fairly low-stress, since you didn't have to do much to get a good grade. However, the readings took up a lot of time, and overall the class was way too much work to be just 2 credits.
Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/26/2022	Pretty easy and straightforward class as long as you stayed on top of weekly assignments. Weekly discussions were okay but felt like a little too much time for the topics so conversation would fizzle out. The weekly UNIX assignments were good as a skill to learn for the future. Overall okay class and pretty nice professor but sometimes tedious and might be closer to a 3 credit class for amount of time spent on the two sets of work.
Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/17/2022	This class was extremely easy, but the lectures were not that useful and there was way too much work for only 2 credits. Every week we had to watch a lecture recording on UNIX and do a (usually very long and frustrating) assignment and a quiz on canvas, and then also to read several different articles. In class we had discussions about the articles and debated various general topics in cybersecurity. It was okay, but I really would rather have swapped it and had the UNIX stuff in class and the article stuff as a canvas discussion post for homework, as the UNIX assignments were what taught me the most in the class. Pellicone is nice, I just didn't love the class though it is required for ACES
Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2022	Way too much work for a 2 credit course. Each week has two entirely separate sets of work to do, one of which is learning UNIX which is just completely unnecessary for the course and should be cut out entirely (and wasn't even taught in person but instead was asynchronous recycled panopto recordings from 2 years ago). Classroom activities are only marginally interesting but about what you would expect from a 2 credit course outside of major which only serves the purpose of keeping you in the ACES program. Final project was, like the rest of the class, not hard to get a good grade in but tedious and requiring more work than it needed to. While the final project was happening we still had UNIX assignments which was annoying. All in all the class is not good in any way but not bad enough to leave ACES and Prince Frederick over.
Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/30/2022	He's not great. The class is awfully boring and he doesn't teach anything. The class consists of an in-person part where "class debates and discussions" are hyped up for like four weeks and we end up having like four debates until we move on to the final project. The asynchronous element of class is useful, where we just learn UNIX, but the in-person section is a waste of time. The class is easy though, and being a part of ACES makes up for it.
Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/18/2022	I didn't like him. He was nice enough, but very low energy and held "debates" that were just asking a couple of people how they felt about the weekly readings. The portion of the class that he was responsible for was easy enough but very boring. I also didn't like the structure of the class, but that's not his fault.
Anthony Pellicone HACS100 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/25/2021	He kind of sucks, and just seems like he doesn't want to be in class. He didn't really teach anything since the class is just us doing the weekly readings, discussing them during the in-person part of the class, and him just standing around in the classroom awkwardly. The class itself is boring, and way too much work for 2 credits, but you need it to stay in ACES i guess :/
