GOOD TEACHER. EASY GRADER. VERY HELPFUL. ENTHUSIASTIC.
Excellent teacher, Trips were fun. Learened alot. Fair test grader, ;)
Super nice! Easy grader. Very easy going. Made my summer class very enjoyable!
Ave is fantastic.I have her again this semester. A great advisor, very fair grader, she is really on your side and very accessible
Plainly put, Ave was like woah.
ave was great. theres alot of work but she grades easy. very flexible, always there to help, and easy to understand. i would definitely recommend taking her to anyone....
ave is a great teacher! all you do in this class is group activities, and writing stories about your life. we didnt even go over the book at all!!! all should take her!!
She is the BEST. She is on your side. always willing to help. I would take a course with her anytime.

Great class shes let you know exactly whats on the test, she let us redo the tests after they were graded for a better grade, group projects were easy and homework was a breeze
She will let you re-do almost any test/paper. A very easy grader. Classes are fun, sometimes informative, and occassionally boring. She usually lets class out early. She's easy to get along with but is somtimes preoccupied with her life outside of class.
Best teacher that I ever had. Very easy to talk to if you have any personal problems. Great senes of humor. All around, a excellant teacher
Good teacher. Horrible at explaining homework or abstracts. Just kind of "lets you go" but leniency towards grading makes up for it, I guess.
ave is just plain awesome! she has tons of experience and can pretty much answer any question you have regarding teaching certificationa dn whatnot. She is funny and easy to get along with, in addition, she will do almost anything to help you out with your grade if you are struggling
Awesome!!!!! Just AWESOME you must take Ave's classes.
not only can she not answer a question directly, i've found out have the answers she has given me are wrong! and when i needed help on one of my papers, i called and emailed her all week...she never answered..so i drove the 45 minutes it takes me to get to school and she wasnt even there. she is the most unprofessional professor i know.
How refreshing it is to finally have a teacher who wants you to succeed. She seriously goes out of her way to make sure each of her students does well...even if that means giving you an extension because your schedule just can't handle the work load. She was a great teacher and really knew her stuff.
nice lady, a lot of timely weekly assignments, doesnt answer emails or phone calls ever, so dont think she'll get personal, interesting class, the time went by pretty quick
Ave is great and she ALWAYS returns emails and phone calls. Very clear about assignments and if you're late handing in a couple(or all)of them, she will always accept them with no penalties attached because she wants her students to succeed
She was awesome.. by far the greatest teacher i've had.. she is very helpful in everything.. and it's an easy A
Ave is a great teacher. She almost always returned my emails or phone calls. She does not appricate slackers and if you are going to college to be a teacher, which most of her students are then you shouldn't be a slacker. She gives very long assignments, but I believe she prepares her students to become great teachers.
She's awesome!
Never returns e-mails!!..forgetful..expects a lot out of you but doesnt return the favor. I thought she was going to be a great teacher, from all the nice things people have said on here, but I was wrong. She's unreliable and I would def. consider looking into taking a different teacher.
a lot of work but if it is done and you put some effort into it you should come out with an a or b. easy grader, thank god
Lots of work on her class, however, it pays back to do it.
Outstanding teacher just wished I had met her sooner I would have change my major.
Ave is a very nice lady, her class is pretty easy. She tells you exactly what she expects, and raises good discussions in class.
great teacher, very helpful, and fun!
Great teacher. Easy grader. Kind of a lot of work. Good for an A or B. I'd take her again for another class. Makes a boring class interesting.
Professor Latte has great passion for teaching this class ....she was an excellent professor....she gave us excellent topics and presented them with such enthusiasm. I would recommend her to everyone who is an Education Major...I am glad she is my advisor and I will learn a lot from her. She is one of the reasons I cannot wait to teach!
There is not much h.w. in this class and it's very interesting. The class meets only once a week which is nice. Be ready to participate lots with your classmates and teacher if you want a good grade. I got an A and enjoyed my time spent with her.
Ave is great! She is very interactive and fun. Not a super hard grader, you just have to get the work done and on time and you're good to go.
I thought this class was going to be boring. It was anything but. This class is great. Ave is a great teacher. She's very interactive. Come to class and do the work and you'll do fine. You do have to work.
Ave is my absolute favorite teacher! She is so knowledgable and approachable. She has so much experience in her field and has such a passion that it reflects directly in the way she teaches. I highly recommend this class!!
Great teacher esp good in educ
Ave was a great teacher to say the least. There are 6 essays to do and different simulations. Participation and interaction with classmates is a major part of this class. It's fun and acutally interesting. Not boring at all! Ave is willing to help out her students and is really just a nice person.
Ave is a great teacher and very supportive as well. There is a lot of work in her class, a lot of writing, but it isn't difficult. If your major is Education, take her class for sure!
Ave Latte is the sweetest professor I've ever had she will go out of her way to help you out in any way she can .. shes the best!
I'd recommend her as a professor for an easy A. Plus, she is very nice. However, I admit that class was a bit too interactive for my taste and some of the assignments were aggravating, but at least there were some fun times as well. If you prefer a more structured class where you take sit, listen, and take a test, she may not be for you.
she is a very sweet teacher and will help you or work with if you need it...you must interact during simulations but class was pretty decent..easy a
she's very nice but she talks and talks and talks and talks! she goes on forever! you never get our early. she assigns a lot of work but its not that hard and she's a pretty easy grader. take her if you want..she's not to bad. no tests as well! except for midterm which is take home and final which you can work with someone on
awesome.
Good teacher to take for sociology! Easy going and a very easy grader. The class basically consists of a bunch of papers about you and things you do. I saw tons of students in my class handing in papers weeks late and still getting full credit! Take her for an easy A!
Ave is an amazing teacher for this course! she is an easy grader; all you need to do is write papers about yourself which is never hard to do and participate in class which will always give you extra credit for. the textbook is pointless so dont waste your money its was a pleasure being in her class even though i took it at 8am; i deff recommend he
AVE IS THE BEST TEACHER. SHE KNOWS HER STUFF. I LOVE HER TO DEATH!!!
She is the best. I had to take a summer class at Brookdale for Rutgers and she made it so easy to want to come to class. Such a sweet lady. She is extremely helpful and lenient. You just have to talk to her and she's willing to help you out. Definitely take her.
She was one of the hardest teachers I have taken. You have to attend all classes otherwise she'll take points off your grade. She uses different material then what she taught in class on tests. I would never take this teacher again.
very very easy teacher .. very nice lady .. kinda imposs to not get at leastttt a B
horrible teacher. grades you based on who you are, not your work. biggest **** in the world. do NOT ask her for help- she will not give it to you. 1 test- in which you dont learn any of it. WASTE OF TIME.
A very competent professor. Highly recommend taking her class. She treats students as adults and expects her students to take responsibility for their learning and assignments. Very knowledgable, patient and willing to work with students to achieve success.
Professor Latte is a really nice lady who is dedicated to her studies in early childhood education. She wants her students to do well and provides extra credit along with opportunities to revise work, to make this possible. Lecture can drag on at times, but in general it is a very fun and interesting class to take.
Great instructor..I would recommend this to other students..assignments are easy but you do have to work though
AMAZING TEACHER!!!!
Unbelievable teacher informative,helpful, covers information in the book and activities in class were great.For having the class for only 9 winterm days I got more out of this class than I did in a 15 wk course!!! I would encourage everyone to take her class!! Ms. Latte works with you and doesn't judge! She's open to all options!!!
A really, really nice woman and great teacher. I missed her class more than a few times due to work and she never yelled at me. All around a great teacher and amazing person definitely take her class.
best education teacher, she was also my feild experience advisor and my teacher for psyc 218. she is a very easy grader and very into what she does. she is the best for early childhood ed majors cause she knows everything about everything and is always up to date on the latest stuff. she is a very easy grader, very honest, and always helpful
Literally the best professor I've had at Brookdale. There is no tests/exams in her class, just lots of (easy) papers. This is the easiest class if you just pay attention, come to class and hand in your work. Ave is a wonderful professor and really cares about her students. I recommend you take her if you get the opportunity.
This class and Ave changed my life. She is an angel. Such a genuine and nice woman. I felt like I could go to her for anything. The class is so interesting and fun. Yes she actually makes it fun. Yes there is alot of writing and essays but there is no tests, quizzes, midterm or final. Might be the best class and teacher offered at Brookdale.
I loved having her as a professor! She was very nice and very helpful, and explained everything clearly as well! Her professionalism and high intelligence is what made me really love the class :)
I took Ave's SOCI 105 class during the winter semester and loved it. It was a ten day course so there was a lot of work but she was so helpful and understanding. She's such a warm and loving professor. I have so much respect for her especially since she has a doctorate and still encourages you to call her by her first name. She's just wonderful!
This class was awful, she was boring and was no help in any way. She was never clear on what she wanted from us and when she wanted it. Always calls her an effective teacher when she is FAR from that. No quizzes only the final. Super frustrating. Avoid taking her.
I loved Ave. I had her for Soci 105. She was always prepared for class and always had good examples, games or videos to go along with her lesson. She really opened my mind to how we interact with other people and other cultures. You should take this class it is an easy A. their are multiple essays but they are not hard she is an amazing peson
Dr. Latte has such extensive experience in the classroom, she's an excellent education teacher. This is my third class with her, and it's wonderful. Some of the material is challenging, and the tests can be difficult, but if you show you care, and ask questions, you'll be ok. She teaches you to analyze and think deeply. She's an amazing woman.
Take Dr. Latte!! It was an easy A!!! I had her for soci105 in the summer and she was great. I took her again for educ216. Not much work needs to be done. No tests only written assignments
She was the worst. If you ever wanted to come to college to take the most unorganized class ever than take this one. When the subject of minorities presents itself she goes on tangents, she puts emphasis on the FEW minorities that are in the class and justifies it by saying that shes Italian. Whomp. Worst teacher I've had yet.
She was very disorganized and not clear on what we needed to do until the final day.
I'm fine with long lectures but she would get off topic often. she was almost never talking about education. It was more like Ave Latte 105. Don't take her class. I read the comments and I'm sure that the good ones that were left were left by her.
Worst professor I have ever taken. She is so disrespectful to students and likes to point out minorities in the class. She doesn't grade on time and is very unorganized. She doesn't respect any of her students. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. Also you have to make an appointment to ask her questions you can't drop in.
Ave is, by far, the best professor I have ever taken. She is so helpful, so caring, and really makes almost anything easy to understand. She really wants her students to succeed so if you are feeling lost, do NOT be afraid to ask for further explanation. I would take her a million times if I could.
This class was torture. She would read off the powerpoints and then some what talk about them. But then she would get off topic very easily about almost everything. Her quizs are hard because she doesnt tell you wht there on. Her portfolio was difficult because she gave no concrete directions to it and was painful to try to get right. Dont take her
Ave is awesome! She is a great professor and truly leaves an imprint on you. Ave will help you succeed and teach you a lot about being an education major. I highly recommend taking her course, she will not let you fail! As long as you hand in your work and show effort. She is so sweet and very wise.
This class was an easy A being that there was one project, one test, and a paper. But, We barely learned about actually teaching. Ave is really nice but she got off track a lot and lectures were boring & we did alot of stupid busy work. Honestly, this class helped me figure out all the reasons I didn't want to teach opposed to why I would want to.
Great teacher, very wise and experienced. Does a lot of group work that can (sometimes be confusing as to why were even doing it, other times really helpful) But had to beg her to update my participation grade. She put my final grade in as a B+ without updating my participation in a month. When she finally did after me asking her AGAIN I got an A-
She's a great teacher don't get me wrong but the way she treats students and talks to them is horrible and unacceptable. She's big into pointing out people and minorities which I find rude. She takes forever to grade assignments and put grades in. I would never recommend her to anyone. Avoid her
Ave has been such a helpful professor at brookdale during my time spent here as an education student, she has so much knowledge in the education field and knows everything about local schools. Would recommend to anyone looking to take a class with a nice helpful teacher who has experience in their field.
Ave is a great professor being that she is extremely experienced and truely has some wonderful knowledge. Unfortunately she is extremely rude and treats many students with disrespect. I could not even believe the things she said. Overall I would not take her again because of her attitude which sucks because she really is good. Class was an easy A.
I took Ave for both Educational Psychology and EDEC105 she honestly isn't terrible.... But she isn't great either. I always felt like I was in trouble with her and she was constantly telling me I wasn't going to pass. I passed both classes with an A. But I don't know if it was to get rid of me, or because I did a good job. Avoid her if you can!
Ave is a great professor and is extremely intelligent in her field. All that she cares about is that her students succeed and excel in their future careers. Doesn't assign a heavy workload and the in class assignments are engaging and interesting. Great professor.
Dr. Ave Latte is a great professor. She knows all the material necessary for the course and then some. She gets to know and care for her students. All of her lectures interesting and interactive. I would recommend her to anyone in the education field; she is not only there to give you your grade, but also to help you succeed in the future.
Even though she gives us a lot of homework, she's a really good teacher and she's very nice! She cares about her students a lot and she wants us to do well! She even gave us extra credit as well and its worth it!
She's a really good teacher and she helps you out during office ours. Take her if you want to major early childhood education!
I took this class in the winter. Although there was a lot of work for 9 days it wasn't hard and I really enjoyed the class. As long as you did the work showed up to class and participated in class you will do great. She's very sweet and will work with you to get the grade you want. Would take her again
She is best teacher I've taken at Brookdale. Really knows her stuff when it comes to education. Shes caring but do not miss a day unless its important! she takes her class seriously and the minute you lose track you are in risk of missing important material. I have taken her for all my educations classes. Overall she tries to make the class fun.
Great Teacher, cares about her students.
Great professor! I really learned a lot from her class! She takes the time to help you learn what you want to gain from teaching as well as how you are going to approach your students as opposed to others!
Great teacher.
Great teacher
Ave is a wonderful professor. Sometimes things can be unclear but all you have to do is ask her and she makes sure you understand what you need to know. One test, one big paper, and lots of group projects in class which were simple. Great class.
She is a great teacher. always be on time for class and do the assignments accordingly.
Ave was one of the worst teachers I had. The way she spoke to me and other students was down right disrespectful and rude. She LOVED to point out minorities and put people on the spot making them feel bad. She made comments that were disrespectful about other students, faculty and other schools as well. I would never recommend her to anyone
Professor Latte was a great professor! She genuinely cares about her students and will work with you if you need it! Just do the work and you will pass!
I specifically chose to take this class at this time because I knew that she was going to be teaching it.
Ave was an awesome professor who always dedicated time to re-explain quizzes, homework, and tests. She does use e-portfolio and I will admit it is very hard to use, but Ave always took time to explain how to use it step by step. She is extremely caring about every student and is going to advise my student teaching hours! She is the best mentor !
LOVED DR. LATTE! Her method of teaching isn't tests and quizzes every week. She makes learning fun with in-class projects but challenges you at the same time. If you complete everything in your portfolio and put some effort into it you are guaranteed an A. Dr. Latte helps you put everything together and answers any questions you may have.
I really loved Ave! She can be a little vague on certain topics however, I would take her again.
Shes awesome! I never write these reviews and I had to for her because she was the best! She uses projects and field trips with small papers to determine if your learning instead of quizzes and tests. I really enjoyed her class and wish I had something I could take her for in the future.
Professor Latte was one of my favorite teachers. I took her class this semester for the first time and I can't wait to take another two this upcoming semester! She is very caring, gives great feedback, and is always there to help. I recommend taking her class if you want to succeed.
Professor Ave is the worst professor I have ever had. Her ability to inform us on what to study for and what assignments are due is completely horrible.
Latte is now one of my favorite professors! She was super helpful, understanding, and accessible. Theres very few assignments, so just make sure to complete them and hand them in ON TIME! Theres only one unit test, very easy if you pay attention and review the material. She made switching to zoom very easy! TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!! 10/10
prof latte makes taking her class such an awesome and stress-free experience. she is so full of knowledge and you will learn so much if you are an aspiring teacher, like myself. also such a sweet lady and always available for help when you need it.
Professor Latte absolutely loves lecture time. Be aware of lengthy ones, though! She is willing to help every student succeed and she is the sweetest one yet. I will be taking her other class which I can't wait for. She appreciates participation and likes when her students respond to her lectures.
Very good teacher. However some assignments are worded quite confusingly.
Professor Latte is absolutely amazing! This was my second course with her, she gives very few assignments - so complete them on time and you'll do perfect. She grades based on a point-system (you'll be able to calculate your grade throughout the semester). Attend class whether on zoom or in person (doesn't require zoom camera on!) Highly recommend
Dr. Latte is a great professor, great class to take over winter
She's nice and very knowledgable but she gives a TON of work that requires feedback before you can move on, but she takes forever to grade so it's hard to get the list of assignments completed.
I really enjoy Dr. Latte, my only complaint is she is super confusing and complicates simple concepts. You have one exam, and two papers. VERY caring about the student and their lives. 10/10 would take again. She is very sweet, and loves her students. Just be prepared for being kind of lost, but she will help you.
Dr. Latte is a good professor, although her workload is lengthy if you follow her instructions and fix any feedback on assignments, you'll do great. Attendance is mandatory though and she does give extra credit. Her quizzes are open book, and she informs you what to look out for. She is very understanding and knows her stuff. Take her class
She's the best don't listen to these lazy ass kids! She genuinely cares about her students, is up to date on the education world, and will work collaboratively with you to improve your grade!! Makes you think but if you're not trying to do that why come to school?
I had dr Latte for Teaching techniques, she was very good at teaching the subject. I'd recommend taking her for teaching majors.
Honestly, a very accommodating professor. Her feedback is quite helpful, and she is quite respectful when pointing out mistakes in your work rather than condescending. As someone newish to Sociology, the course material was pretty eye opening. Reading the textbook is very very important, and it will definitely help understand the weekly homeworks.
Extremely knowledgeable in her field. She knows what it's like to teach in New Jersey, and is very open to questions about the field. The only thing is she is extremely unorganized which makes it difficult to complete work through poor instructions and she barely ever responds to emails.
Very unorganized and had lots of miscommunications. I took her for EDUC 105 and loved her so i wanted to take her again for 216 but she was so different. Seemed like she didn't care to much in her teaching in this class. Barely graded things, horrible instruction, very messy and confusing. Me and my friends were lost the whole semester.
AMAZING! Truly loved her class and character. Made me feel excited about and confident in teaching. She is very knowledgeable and kind. Lots of classmates complained about her work, but it is pretty straightforward, easy, and not abundant. She does not want to see anyone fail. The textbook is a must for class. I highly recommend her!!!!
Dr. Latte is sweet and nice professor, but her lectures are sometimes really hard for me because she doesn't understand that I am taking her EDEC- 105-001RL.Class for Audit only for her class and that is why she is giving me hard time with me now this course now. Reading & Writing is overlapping each other, and the writing is really hard for me.
dr. latte is a wonderful professor! she really cares about all of her students and helps them with every question. she lets you redo assignments for a higher grade. no exams, just 3 quizzes and a group project. pay attention to every assignment on canvas. her lectures are great and she loves participation.
I was told to take this class because she came highly recommended as an "amazing professor" she was complete opposite. She was incredibly rude to me and other classmates--she made snarky comments about where we decided to go school after Brookdale. She would call us out in class and I found she did play favoritism. I've complained to higher ups
Prof Latte is very knowledgeable and caring, but her class can be disorganized at times. Using Unstuck study along with the textbook and attending lectures helps manage the workload.
This professor was extremely vague the entire semester. I spent most of the class confused by what she wanted us to do. She doesn't give you a grade until the last day of the semester so you spend the whole semester wondering what your grade is.
I took dr latte for EDEC 105 and she was kind and was pretty good at teaching the course as it was simple. In this 216 class she's very disorganized and confusing. I really try understand and asking questions but it's just all over the place. I hope she fixes that because she's very kind and gives good advice during our lessons.
I found myself being graded extremely hard last year and the directions on the work were never clear. I was super disappointed on how this class went and would not take again
The most frustrating teacher I have had at BCC. Does not communicate in a clearly, oftentimes posts incorrect directions and grades harshly despite her instructions being wrong (our first assignment had an average 8/20, our most recent average is 6.5/20. Communicates aggressively and insisted on students attending unrealistic out-of-class meetings.
