I'm a senior and after having many professors, Professor Bisto has been the BEST professor a student could ask for. All you have to do is attend the class, listen to his lectures and you'll pass the class easily. My favorite professor.

Mr. Bisto was a very interesting instructor and I rarely if ever felt bored in class. Information he presents is easy to take notes on and majority of it I found interesting enough to memorize from lectures. Exams and tests aren't bad and you can tell he genuinely cares. As a bonus, he can be quite funny and is a very understanding prof.

The times that I actually went to class, the lectures were usually a lot of information. I felt like I had to take down everything on the board and what he was saying. The information in some chapters that he presents is actually really interesting. He is a pretty chill professor, exams and quizzes aren't too bad.

Amazing and understanding teacher, but very lecture heavy. I made the mistake of skipping classes an learned the hard way that the test are very much so on what he says in class. Don't be afraid to write things down, because while he does sometimes have slides he uses them more as a reference than a word to word presentation.

As long as you attend lecture and take notes, you'll get attendance and be able to pass weekly quizzes with no problem.

Very great lecturer. Very little work outside of class. Exams are very straightforward.

Dr. Bisto is a great instructor. When lecturing hes very dry and monotonous, but otherwise hes really nice and chill. The information he presented in class is word for word from the book and the test. I found the information really compelling, which is probably why I enjoyed the class so much. Take good notes, pay attention, and its an easy A.

He can be a bit dry and monotone, but is passionate about what he teaches and that usually makes up for it. If you study hard, you'll be fine. Tests are almost entirely from lectures though, so make sure you take notes.

Great teacher! Some of the material can be a little dry at first but over time it gets better. No homework just weekly quizzes which are easy as long as you take good notes. All info on his tests and quizzes are from lecture so attend classes!! He does not do study guides for the test but has a review session which goes over everything on the test.

Honestly a really good Professor his views are very apparent but he reads straight from the book for the most part. His Lectures are just him going over 3-4 topics/events and giving his take/opinion. If you take even halfway decent notes throughout the class its very easy to pass since almost all the tests are copy-pasted from the reading material.

Dr. Bisto is an outstanding lecturer and a passionate teacher. He cares about the material he teaches and you can tell that it matters to him that he gets his point across so the students learn. His tests are difficult and he definitely expects that we read all assigned articles and passages. Do the work and you will do well in his class!

He is a very passionate professor. This helps understand the material a lot easier. He is very willing to help and answer any questions that you have. Notes are pretty heavy, but he does not give information that will not be vital to exams.

Although the class is a bit challenging, and is definitely NOT the easy A that you are very likely looking for, the class is still interesting and worth taking. He makes you work for your grade, but is definitely there to help you out. You just have to ask questions, be inquisitive and pay attention during the lectures

I think professor Bisto, according to the ratings, has improved his teaching methods over the last couple of years. His lectures are interesting and heavy. The papers and concepts you have to write about are complex but make you a better writer. Would take another class he teaches.

Teacher super passionate about what he is teaching. Grades very tough but helps you learn to be a better note-taker, reader, and writer. Papers cover very important social justice issues, and he helps you understand the topics. Always willing to help a student out who asks questions and makes an effort.

Minimal work outside of class. Every other week or so there will be an activity/quiz outside of class. He tells you exactly what is on the test and goes over answers as a class. Always gives time to ask questions.

Professor Bisto's lectures were super heavy, definitely be ready to take lots of notes. However, I learned so much in this class! There are three big exams that can hurt your grade if you don't study, since there aren't too many opportunities to make up that grade. He doesn't do one huge cumulative exam though, which is very helpful with studying,

Dr. Bisto is a very good professor. His lectures are long, but he's very knowledgeable and passionate about what he is teaching. We wrote many papers, but I have significantly grown as a writer during the course of the semester. This class was really challenging, but overall he is a great professor and I would take the class again.

Mr. Bisto is a pretty great professor, he is funny and understandable but does give multiple assignments such as weekly short responses or mini quizzes. He does reviews before every test which truly helps prepare you for his exams (there is only 3) and he isn't a tough grader. It's a good amount of work and a lot of information to take in.

Dr Bisto is clearly enthusiastic about what he teaches, but his lectures tend to get boring and monotonous after a while. short assignments and open note quizzes were a great way to bump your grade up a little before the unit tests.

I personally found his lectures to be very interesting .He gave great insight into the topics of discussion and was very passionate about a lot of what he was teaching. The exams covered a lot, which made them a bit difficult to study for, but he made it very clear exactly what was going to be on the exam. Overall, I found the class interesting.

he is a cool teacher and also provides several extra credit opportunities! every class is a lecture so you need to pay attention and take notes. only three exams total though! one assignment per week.

Lectures are interesting and easy to follow along to. Attendance is mandatory, and I'd definitely recommend you go as he doesn't post the slides anywhere for you to see after the class is over, which sucks a little. Exams are tough, but the review days are essential - he goes in depth about everything. Would take this class again!

I thought he was funny and if you study and take good notes the tests aren't hard.

Good lectures you have to pay attention and take notes and if you participate and read the textbook then you should be able to pass the class easy

Amazing professor! The lectures were heavy but interesting. As long as you take notes, the tests are pretty easy.

He's a great professor to have for ccj101. The only reason why I received a C was because I did not attend classes all of the time and I did not turn in two assignments. The course is lecture-heavy, but you can honestly get the material down easily and understand it. It is a pretty simple class, you can get an A if you show up and do the work.

Class is very lecture heavy. Really enjoyed the professor. Takes attendance every day. Bi-weekly quizzes, pretty straight forward if you went to the lecture. Bi-weekly assignments, these were pretty easy but graded semi-harshly. 3 total exams, decently hard but if you went to the lectures and studied, you should do fine.

Best professor, he makes assignments clear and easy if you do the reading. Makes funny jokes in class and keeps a lighthearted tone. tests are not difficult but go through a lot of material 10/10.

One of the hardest classes and one of the few I've retained info from. He is the first professor I have had that systematically breaks down and critiques the data and theory of academic misinformation, not to mention in a topic I lovec- pervasive drug use misinformation/propoganda

Professor Bistro is chill. CCJ215 isn't hard. You just need to show up to class. Prior to Midterms, he takes an entire class period to do a review session which is really helpful if you actually engage with him. The one thing about him that is iffy is that he talks very slowly and pauses for a while to linger upon a subject.

I loved his class

Bisto is very clearly an educated, intelligent professor. You can that he is passionate about what he teaches, which is hard to find in professors in this day and age. His class was difficult, but I found that I barely studied and passed with an A. If you actually listen to his lectures, take good notes, and lean into his passion, you'll pass.

While there is a required textbook that he pulls specific info from, he generally covers everything for the tests in his lectures and is very clear about expectations. He also takes a whole class period before exams to provide a study guide and answer questions which was so helpful!

He goes over all necessary info in his lectures, sometimes referencing specific info from the book for exams. He goes over the study guide in the class before the exam and answers all questions too. There are also not very many homework assignments and they are all easy and quick.

Great guy! Amazing lectures and so fun to listen to. Would take him for every CCJ course if I could. Homework is pretty hard and so are the exams but if you study and attend class, it is much easier. Very involved and kind to every student. Really makes your day just by attending.

He was a great professor who is passionate about what he teaches especially when talking about white-collared crime. It was definitely my most interesting class, and he discusses everything that he will put on the exams. He is very nice and supportive.
