Excellent Professor
He kept it real, take good notes, and study,and participate, that's how he'll know if you study!
read the book before class! he is teaching right from the book. he makes his classes very interesting. he wants you to take this class serious, but is very open minded. his tests are multiple choice and short answers. not too hard.
He caters to the more "advanced" students. He won't tell you if your failing and will give you an F even if you were there everyday and tried your best. He's an **** and stuck up and thinks he's superior to everyone else.
I actually think this professor is fair and to the point.. he makes class interesting by correlating different situations to everyday life in a way that makes it more comprehensible. I enjoyed this class very much! Also the fact that he is a good looking professor makes the class more fun to attend.
he is to much into discussing his personal experiences instead of teaching.
Psychology is not my forte, but this professor will make the class very interesting and fun to attend. His exams might be a little "tricky" but hey his a psychologist!!! He is also extremely cute(nice lips) and that will blind your cognitive processes.Plus he have "a thing" with Sigmund Freud so make sure you know this guy like the back of your ha
he hot and he has a passion for his work so it make him intersting. if you want a smart teacher he's the guy.
Very interesting professor, don't believe everything you hear,, he is fair and the exams are not that bad if you study the material...Also, I think he only wants to see students give their best and to progress in life.So if you want to learn he is the one..I highly recommend him!!!But please make sure you are ready for the ride!!!!
good professor, the exams,,well so so...and that final boy that can kill you it is worth 55% of the class... and its cumulative. He says that the department wants it like that but I guess he is the only professor following the department regulations because from what I hear none of the other professors in that department have it like that....I thin
I would marry this Man and I am serious so all u girls that think you are going to have a chance with him...give up cause he is take mines all mines...I Love his attitude and everything I am so in love...
Tricky exams, but if you attend regularly you will get the hang of his "tricks". Besides he makes it so easy so why not put a few tricks in his exams. Very cool guy and has a lot of passion in PSY.
you would think that his look alone would distract you from paying attention,(he is fine)but he is a very interesting and informative professor, very helpful and never minds repeating himself, i hope i don't fail but if i do i will be looking for his class again next semester.
A very good and dedicated professor. knows how to lecture to students understanding. thank you proffessor for your hardwork. you are one of my proffessors I will never forget in my life.
WAO!!! I took his class a couple of semesters ago and I loved him from the beginning..I didnt fail the class..(silly me) I passed so, now it's imposible to see him.(just his car and the dream catcher)..LOL...He is an excellent professor who is very proud os his background...his exams are so, so..and he can keep you interested in the topics...
he is a very good professor and he makes the course easy 2 understand and he makes the class interesting....
He is very good professor. He does his job. He is hard-working.
I don't think is that good. His exams are too long and tricky.
i think he is so so i mean girls drool over him like he brad pitt or something i guess hes not my type hes 2 short for my taste but i dont care bout his look i think so far he is ok i think he is a little to into himself and thats one thing i hate also he likes to think of women as if without men we are useless and hes wrong men need us woman 4eva!
There are some people, or tolentino's friend posting stupid things here. He is not atractive at all.He is a guy that has a neglectful look, and tazlks about his past as an addicted to everything that is illegal.He acts as he still living in the underworld,he never stops walking,and use half of the class time to talk about his past.
He is a very intersting teacher that knows alot. The way he teach makes you attend his class, he makes the class really intersting.
Great!
He was a very good professor. He was informative and covered exactly what would be on his exams.
He makes the subject fun and interesting, you will look forward to class. He wants everyone to succeed. Amiable personality very easy on the eyes!
his technique is unique and keeps you involved and eager. He relates the info to his life in order to explain in detail examples... which i found helpful because during the test I would remember the situations he was in and it helped me give my answers..very funny an understanding he gets an A!
He's very into what he's teaching, which makes you want to learn. He relates a lot of the topics to his past. He basically gives you exactly what questions there will be on the test. Attendance is very important in his class as well. i got an A =]
He is handsome, understanding, and great instructor. More people should learn from him.
HE IS A GREAT PROFESSSOR, BUT ATTENDANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT. HE DOESNT FOLLOW THE BOOK ,BUT HE MAKES HIS CLASS INTERESTING AND GIVES GOOD NOTES
He is a great teacher with lots of interesting stories that relates to the topics he is teaching.I really enjoyed his class.
Not only is he funny, he is super cool and easy to understand!!!! This class is a must
Really down to earth and charismatic. Teaches right from the textbook and even ive you PAGE NUMBERS. Everything he says in lecture will be on the test. He doesn't bombard you with extra information.
I enjoyed having Tolentino as a professor. He is very clear when teaching and like someone else mentioned, gives pages numbers to reference in the book. I like that he ties in little stories and examples of what he's teaching. Yes, he is attractive--something about a good looking, educated hispanic guy!
This professor is great!! He teaches from the text book, and is very interesting and funny!!he gives you the page numbers to study so if you fail its because you havent read or gone over your notes..he is the best!! take his class!!
Very helpful, tells you whats exactly on the exams. You must take notes to what he says.. when you're home you must look up the definitions to pass this tests. Hes not hot i mean unless you're like over the age of 37 or something like that. lmao But hes great.
some of gotten a f for a grade even though you try but there are people that never pass a test and he pass them he cater to his hispanic speaking people and i know for a fact that some of them did not pass his test but he pass them anywhere it is not fair it goes for everyone
I am in this class now & had to see 4 myself the comments. So far what I have observed is a smart down 2 earth guy who is there 2 educate the masses. He is incredibly attractive because he is smart/educates I am interested in learning everything else is semantics. if you want 2 learn in a free thinking spirited way take him.Use Common sense people!
He really made it simple which was amazing since this class was only a month long (basically cramming a Fall semester into a month's time span). Plus, he's kind of a cutie. ;) If you're gonna take PSY 101 or 110, make sure you take it with this guy cuz he's awesome.
This professor is awesome this was a 3 hour saturday class and it was not difficult for him to keep the interest of the 25 female student.. he's well spoken and pretty hot I passed his class never having to purchase the book. you wont regret taking his class
PROF. TOLENTINO IS A HOTTIE!!!!!!!!!!! So helpful, this class is super easy as long as you actually attend.. I RECOMMEND THIS CLASS, BUT GIRLS PREPARE TO FALL IN LOVE HAHA
Mr. Edwin tolentino is a straight forward professor who doesnt waste his time and tells you clearly what will be on your test or not. Very understanding and will relate any topics to real life situations than we can all relate too.Keep it very interesting you wont fall asleep and as long as you jot down notes correctly and read you will good to go
Love this class , took two of his classes and received A's in both courses & I rarely studied. He is very clear & tells you exactly what will be on test. He makes the class very interesting. He's the best professor I've had since starting college.
Captivated since day one. An hour and 15mins seems like no time at all during his class due to his charisma and energy. His stories intertwine perfectly with his lessons and he explains things clearly; also informs you of what will be on the test. Consider yourself lucky if you find yourself in his class; he is absolutely fantastic.
He's honestly amazing and captivating. Prepare to fall in love because god knows I did
I really enjoyed taking this course with Prof. Tolentino. All of his tests are based on what he taught in class and he reads directly from the textbook. As long as you take good notes and study for his tests, you are set to pass his class. He is easy and his stories blend in with the topic he is talking about and entertaining as well. Great class!!
Amazing all around!!!!!
Great professor. If you have a good note you wouldn't need a textbook. just pay attention, read,assimilate and you good to go..Bumpy ride but the road is clear on the other side..Put in work and you would get results.
the professor made the class very interesting and fun. He is one of the professors who likes teaching.
Everyone loves prof. Tolentino because of his looks which I could care less about. He rambles on about his personal life experiences(ex girlfriends)and then tries to relate it to PSYC. If you want to pass read just your text book and learn on your own.
Professor Eddie is a great teacher. In order to pass his class with an A, you have to take good notes, study for exam,and write complete sentences on the formal writing papers. He is very clear and funny. He relates Psy to his personal stories. I used to look forward to going to his class. I learned a lot of things that will benefit me.
The best Professor I have ever had and I am not exaggerating. All the questions on his tests he gives to you in the class during discussion. It is just your responsibility to write them down and take appropriate notes. If you fail this class that means you didn't do your part because he is an excellent Professor and he is so HANDSOME!!!!
I love him. He's an amazing professor. He keeps you engaged all 2 hours and 45 minutes. He's clear on what his expectations are. He's completely fair. Everything he discusses in class is on the exams. He's also really great to look at. Puts a winning SMILE on my face all the time.
Good teacher, keeps you entertained.
FUNNY,HANDSOME AND CHARMING.
He is the bombdigity. Why are you so pretty ?.... Best professor so far,he will teach you and help you and he has a great sense of humor,I hope he gets his Iphone 6 and tablet for Christmas haha, TAKE HIM.
He is a great professor. He lectures straight out of the book and tells you the pages, so you can follow along. His tests are pretty straight forward if you study then you pass it with a good grade. I like the fact that he makes the material interesting because he connects it with his life stories.
After nearly 5 years of being out of school, this class and professor were a godsend!! I was dreading this Psychology course the most out of all my fall classes, and that included my calculus class, so that says a lot! But he is an amazing instructor, so clear-cut and helpful. His exams are straight from the notes and the book. Must-take!
This professor has been one of the most entertaining professors I ever gotten and funny. Make sure you write down the notes he bases his exams on his notes so if u miss class ask someone for the notes. Only one major project which was my nightmare an annotated bibliography based on 20 peer reviews long reviews and difficult readings. Do your thing
Awesome professor. Clear and concise. Doesn't hurt he is a hotty! Definitely worth taking the course.
He is the best!!! I really love the way he teaches, he is always smiling. Gives a lot of exams, which will help you to improve your grade. There is no way to thank him for his great help.
Great teacher. On the last test he told us exactly what to study even though I didnt. I know he looks on here so hey tolentino. Talks alot. always got a story about a woman thats his "friend" and hes so handsome. But i also think he had his favorites! still good guy great teacher. and dont sit in his class if you dont belong there!
Awesome prof. He is clear on his grading policy, and very fair. Tests are based off of lecture. I studied using his notes and reading the chapters. Prof. cares about his students, and enjoys when his students do well. Down to earthfunnyencouraging, which helps you sit through his lectures. I got an A, and I am taking him again for 110.
He is awesome. Very clear and concise. You will laugh most of the time with him because he is so funny. He has no idea how much I admire and respect him!! Yes, it's true that he is VERY attractive.
He is a really good professor. Take him because you will learn a lot. He is very intelligent and has a different way to teach and think. I would like to take another class with him
Great experience. He is straightforward with information that will be on the tests. There is only one outside assignment which is an annotated bibliography, start it early in the course and hand it in ON TIME. Tests are not easy, make sure you know the material (short answer and MC). Very sweet,caring, and genuine guy who wants students to succeed.
I took his class during the summer time. And he was super amazing. He makes time pass by fast, his lectures are intersting and He relates every topic to his personal life which makes it interesting. He's Extremely hot btw
Prof. Tolentino is an amazing professor, exams are a mix of multiple choice & short answers, for the short answers he will give you the questions in class and tell you the answer so you can review them, you dont need the textbook as long you take good notes, all his exams come from the notes. Only bad part was the 20 page essay, start early.
THE BEST PROFESSOR!!!!!!
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TEACHERS, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WHILE AT HOSTOS, THAT REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT AT THE END, THE GRADE, DOES MATTERS!!! THEREFORE HE WILL SHOW YOU HOW YOUR GRADE IS COMING ALONG IN MID SEMESTER SO THAT YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOUR LACKING,,AND HE WILL HELP YOU, TO BRING GRADE UP ,THIS IS TEACHING!! KUDOS TO YOU, PROFESSOR.
He's great, funny, easy to relate to, and straight forward. 3 exams, 3 informal (in- class usually) writings, and 1 formal writing (paper due midway through the semester). Read the chapters prior to class, it makes for better interaction w/him. He uses real life scenarios to make you remember what he's teaching. Easy to EARN your A. Be on time!
This professor has to be one of the best professors i have ever had in hostos. He makes learning interesting, i had his class late in the evening and always looked forward to it. His exams are EASY if you take great notes ( WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT HIS MOUTH) i would take him 500 more times. CHOOSE HIM,CHOOSE HIM,CHOOSE HIM LOL!!!!!
Best professor at Hostos
He is one of the best professor I have encounter. Very straight forward, a man to his word. Funny as hell. Someone who loves what they do, he enjoy teaching. his exams are right from his lectures and review. I love this professor , If could take this professor again over and over I would.
Mr. Tolentino is hilarious! His stories help make the material easier to digest. He doesn't give hw (assigned chapters to read before class is not really hw) therefore there's a huge emphasis on the exams and term paper. In class he tells you EXACTLY what he's going to test you on so if you don't attend class you wont pass! I LOVED this class!
I loved his class!!!! He is a great professor and one of my favorite professors in my college experience. I strongly recommend taking this class if you need to with this professor. Great individual!
great professor with a clear grading criteria , cares a lot about his student. don't need to buy the book as long as you take good notes and ATTEND CLASS EVERY DAY!! WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING HE SAYS.
Oh man! I chose professors tolentino's class based on the reviews on this page. I can tell you i will never regret that decision. This man is so intelligent, has great teaching skills and can clearly see he cares about his students and whether they learn or not! HOWEVER, you MUSTTT attend every class. You miss one class, you miss a lot. Respectful!
Professor Tolentino was one of the BEST professors I have ever had. He's caring and really wants his students to pass and progress in life. I would recommend him to any student. He's very fair and makes learning very fun.
He is a really good profesor. You have to take this class with him.
Amazing , he made everything interesting !!
One of my favorite professors ever. I've taken A LOT of classes in my lifetime and I've never looked forward to any classes until I took a course with Professor Tolentino. He is hilarious and his anecdotes keep the course content interesting. He tells you exactly what to expect on his exams and what he wants for his term paper. Follow directions.
He is awesome , definately recommend. Im taking his class this semester & have no complaints hes great.
Great personality, easy going, and fair. Work is manageable. Definitely recommend!
I do not recommend this professor
This is the BEST professor I ever had. VERY clear about what is expected, will tell you "write this down because it will be on the exam." How people fail this class amazes me, he gives you everything you need. He is super funny, his life stories made my day as well as helped me remember the related material. Book will 'help' but is not necessary.
OKay where to start. He comes highly recommended students love him. But for each his own. I didn't really care for him. His test are manageable I only really had an issue with his first exam the others were ok. Seems he just has a file he picks randomly for his exams which are 35% of his grades. Which can become a problem Test day.
Really Bad Prof. I do not recommend him, he likes only sexy women. And I think he paid rate my prof, because anytime i write a review for him, it gets disappeared.
Prof. Tolentino is the best you can get. He is pretty clear during lecture and how he want things done. As long you participate, do your work and show up for class, I guarantee that you will pass. I will recommend anyone to take him with out hesitation.
Prof. Tolentino is probably one of the best I've had and his lectures are amazing!! First test is not easy but he's VERY clear and specific what to study. There is a 20 peer review summary paper but he gives a lot of guidance and feedback so again, not too difficult. And most of all, he treats everyone equally. Love him!!
