Would take again

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!!
