very confusing teacher he is all over the board. but he does want everyone to pass his class.
No Comments
very nice..has a really adorable hearty laugh..fair..
I have to agree w/ the previous comment, he is all over the board. But if you read the assignments the lecture makes sense in the end. Sometimes it takes him too long to get to the point. He lets you know in advance what will be on the exam (all essay) He's a fair grader and he has a great personality.

Very good GUY!!! Knows a lot and his lectures, papers and things what he will teach you, will be very usefull in the future, while raising your kids and understanding people!!! One of the best professors ever!!!!!!!
This professor doesn't know his material very well and always forget what he has said. Even though I got an A in his class, be honest, I have learned nothing from the class. His class is easy, but very unhelpful!!!
No Comments
He is very helpful, but he gives alot of reading information which you have to understand not just memorize inorder to pass his exams; they are all essay questions that requires explaining. I consider his class to be difficult.
For an intro class I think it was hard but I find that he gives students a chance to do better. He is always ready to give extra credit to help a student out. He is a fair grader
he gives very good grade and really want you to understand! and he's very nice~
He is very nice professor, he cares about his student, but his class is not eassy like people said, you have to study and understand his class and work for your grades!
Prof. Vianna is a really cool instructor. He is really into the material and wants his students to understand and grasp what he is teaching. Very ready to answer questions and hear opinions. Good sense of humor makes his class enjoyable.
he is really cool professor!! he's cute when he laughs! he's great! he just want you to understand what he is teaching. since it's a psychology class, he tries to understand every each of his students and that's great!! I am still in his class, and hope to get a good grade from him.
hot hot hot hot hot hot hot
he is a very good professor he explains the subject well and this is a very easy class to pass. just study and hand the things in on time and you will pass this class!
great teacher!!
He's a great great professor!! Just hand in your assignments on time. Get involved in blackboard, participate in class discussions, try to understand what he's teaching. He gives his students another chance by giving them extra credit. Great teacher!! thanks prof. vianna!! can't wait to take developmental psy. with ya!!
He is one of the coolest prof. His classes are fun and easy. He looks like Eric Bane from the Incredible Hulk.Super cute...and sexy!
he is a great professor
if u take his wrtting intensive class, u r dead so many readings, so many writings, n if u need this class to get into the nursing better not take it especially if u also taking other classes, hw almost every class u meet, he is a gd prof but take his class during 2nd semester by itself so that u can focus in his class cuz thats wat he wants u too
This Professor is the best and the most nicest professor. We should have more kind professors like him. Thank You Dr. Vianna. Very Interesting course. We Love You! M. & Y.
Expect lots of reading and writing. 3 "long" exams in total. You'll need the entire two hours to finish each exam. You'll need to answer at least 6 out of 8 questions to get a 100, and that's only if you score a full points for each question. Otherwise, you'll need to answer all 8 questions. He does give extra credit, but you definitely work for it
Missed taking his class=losing the great chance to meet nice Prof.and good grade.Take his class.Uwill love it.Thank you Prof. for ur great help to understand this course better.
Although he gives alot of reading and writing assignments, he is an excellent professor. People complain how he gives too many essays but it does say that its and INTENSIVE WRITING course. He gives 3 written exams and a couple of quizes. I learned alot from him and I used to have psychology. VERYY POSSIBLe to get an A in his class. gives xcredit.
You should so take him!If you don't like writing I don't then can't help you.LOL PUT this way you do your work and you get what you derserve.Sound like a lie its true.And book is so easy to understand.And the plus the class is fun and you learn(:
I took his both SSY 101 AND 240 with straight A's.His class is interesting,fun and materials are really challenging.If you are looking for great professor then he is the one.I bet you you won't regret taking his class.
guys he makes u love the subject and have a better comprehension of the material he gives a lot of reading and writing that makes u improve in other courses take him a great professor to have
NOT A EASY CLASS.YOU HAVE TO RED AND WRITE A LOT.HE WILL MAKE YOU LOVE PSYCHOLOGY AND BECOME INTERESTED IN THIS CLASS. THIS GENTLEMAN IS A SMART AND GREAT TEACHER. YOU WILL LOVE PSYCHOLOGY AFTER HIS LECTURES.
I thought he was a great professor. It is very reading and writing intensive. When students were confused he went over the material. He was nice and friendly, and seemed to always be in a good mood. My only complaint is sometimes when a student asked a specific question he didn't seem to understand and it wasn't clearly answered. He is great!
If you truly want to learn then his class is for you;he is not your traditional professor. LGCC is lucky to have a professor like him. I got an A. Just pay attention in his class and read. Remember this is a psychology class and requires lots of reading.
He is a good professor, he explain everything clear. I took SSY 101 at the short semester and got A. I will take his class SSY240, because I like way how he teaches. I recommend his class for everybody.
Overuses the word 'right'. He doesn't stutter but takes a looong time making his point.
even though I got an A from his class, I wouldn't take his class again. He is very boring and confusing.It seams that he doesn't know what he is talking about. I took his class during six weeks session along with two other classes. He gives I lot to read and write. Three to four page essays almost every day. Good look guys.
Great professor. He sometimes loses time looking for examples of what he's teaching. As long as you pay attention and do your reading, you'll be fine. He wants to see you succeed and gives you opportunities to revise your work if you're not satisfied with a grade. You really will love psychology once you finish this class.
One of the BEST, he give crear examples, he is so good.. I will advise you to take him, you just dont need to be lazy, he gives alot of readings...
Mr. Eduardo Vienna is not only educated but he is a true educator. I would take any class he teaches.
he's simply the best.
This professor is awesome, as long as you complete your readings you will just find.
Excellect Professor! Very knowledgeable and helpful. You will gain alot from his class, he's awesome
Very knowledgeable professor. Good person, no doubt about that. He has an affinity for technical text, so regular handouts discussing interesting case studies make it seem like you're reading a foreign language. Do all the work & reading that he assigns, participate in class, & you'll get a good grade.
The best teacher at LaGuardia. U will learn a lot.
Very good and understanding .... he can make you go to sleep at time but over all he is a good teacher. You will learn something new every class
Great, smart, caring, fun. Enjoyed his class and got a lot of knowledge about his subject. Will take him again for SSY240. Highly recommend! Seems tough at the beginning,but he is not. Gives all questions for the exams
Very knowledgeable, caring, and charismatic. Gives a lot to read but and the material is challenging but it's well worth it. He will take you to a whole new level and in the end you realize you are more capable than you thought. He really walks you through the material, just read it and participate in class.
Great teacher, his exams are only four questions.His class is a bit boring since he only reads information of powerpoint but the homework is light. He is a easy grader as long as your answer makes sense...I got an A ! Love this professor !
Very informative and knows what he's talking about. However, he's non-stop when teaching. You will lucky if you get a break in class. However, his topics are very interesting but may get a bit technical at times so be prepared to have a clear mind when entering his classroom. Light HW and easy-going on the exams.
While quite bright and highly enthusiastic, Professor Vianna does tend to cover too wide a range of topics at once, thus confusing his students. He frequently jumps from point to point w/o finishing a thought. he also tends to skim through student work instead of giving it a thorough read.
Prof Eduardo is one of the best professors at LaGuardia. Just pay attention be prepared for the exams and you will get an A. He is the best.
Outstanding professor and human being.
Highly skilled, very knowledgeable, use professional vocabulary; he encourages students to work hard to achieve their A. He provides you the extra help with revision sessions. Very enthusiastic and hard working professor I have ever seen. He knows his stuff: good man, great person, good sense-of-humor. LaGcc should have more professors like him
He was honestly the best teacher, I was kind of upset the semester ended so early.
He is a worse teacher. I ever met in my life.. When he explain something all over the board, really confusing teacher. If you want to fail the course take it with him..
very hard to understand his teaching, regret taking his class.
He is the worsest professer i ever see in lagcc. When he explain something all over the board. If u want to fail the class take it wz him :(
his way of teaching is not clear. it really gets annoying when he repeats "right" after every word. he always keeps student guessing and never answered my question . all he said was i'll get back to that. would not suggest anyone to take his class in lagcc
I liked his class a lot!!It is not easy class but he would help you if you ask him after the class. However, if you are not serious student, it is hard to get a grade.
A stimulating course Vianna provides a fresh, passionate, and warm character to the classroom. He is energetic & loves what he teaches.that being said, he wants you to work & and thrives off of students' enthusiasm & motivation.slackers beware!they are review sessions which the tutor was very helpful and insightful. will take this prof again
This professor is very passionate about the subject. Very enthusiastic about the material. never found my self dreading to go. Always exciting. Do your work, attend tutoring and promise you easy a
Prof. V is a good professor he works hard to get people interested and is enthusiastic but he is kind of all over the place and he has an outrageous 10 page final that he decided on in the last week before it was due
At first,I thought he was way to hard on us. As the semester went on I realized Prof. Vianna not only wants us to learn and succeed but is one of the best Prof. at this college. His lectures may be confusing but if you take the time to read the material it all makes sense. You can't expect an A without putting in effort. One of the best Prof. here!
A great professor . Very passionate about his class. Follow everything he says and you'll learn and pass with amazing grades
great professor. take him
I have had many professors at LaGuardia but so far he is the worst professor. If you ask him a question, he does not give you an answer. The more you go to class, the more confused you get. I am an A student but I hate this class. Don't ever take him. A he does is read from articles without explaining them. Worst professor I have had.
He's very passionate about what he teaches, however he is very unclear when giving directions on assignments. Test are based on a ton of articles and are extremely difficult to understand. He is funny and enthusiastic when teaching. Gives exams, writing assignments and term paper. Overall, he's a good professor.
He gives a lot of very useful information. Pay attention in class, make sure you do all your work and most importantly THINK. This is a thinking class; if you do not like to think then don't take him but if you like to think then do take him.
great prof. at first I really thought I was going o fail his class. because hes so into what he teaches and the information for assignments are unclear. also I failed the first test but he let the people who fail retake the exam. I still end up getting an A on my final and a B in the class. just pay attention. the Test questions r up for u to see
He's perfect. Just take his class. don't think twice.
Great professor, although he can be very talkative and passionate about is work.
Finally a professor I will remember for a long time. I wish there were more passionate educators like him. As a student, I finished the class with a better understanding of my child's development. A better understanding of why every person is unique. Please enter the class with enthuasim because all of your questions will be finally answered.
Professor Vianna is an outstanding individual, he is really in it to help his students and you can tell he has a passion for it. The class requires full participation and is a fast paced environment. If you can't stand the heat don't come into the kitchen, but if you are ready to RECONCEPTUALIZE YOUR LIFE, step right in. Very rewarding class.
He is an excellent professor. He helps you when he sees that students have the potential to success. He gives the opportunity to students to express their thoughts. You don't need to buy textbooks because it is everything on blackboard. He provides copies of his lectures by blackboard. He helps you when you are interested in his class.
When he sees that you have potential, he gives you the support you require to success. His lectures are excellent. His way of teaching is different because he requires the student to express their own thoughts. He makes you be inspired to continue your academic goals. He is an inspiration to student. He gives excellent feedback and review lessons.
He is the best professor ever. I am passionate to take his class over and over again. You will get an A grade for sure. This professor makes you think critically. You will learn to believe in your learning capabilities. He has review sessions with excellent peer tutors. He has a helpful peer group on Fridays to help to cope problems called PALC.
thought I mistakenly entered a biology class. He spends 1/3 of the semester teaching dna, biology, genes. He posted a minimum of 20 lengthy PDF's that are very very difficult reading. You don't know what parts are assigned as he contradicts himself about assigned pages. DOES not like it when you ask questions or even comment. Very stressing class!
Take him and you would love him. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. At the beginning, he might scare you with biological lectures but HANG ON. If you can survive this class, you have nothing to fear anymore. Three exams and one long research paper.
good professor but he says your answers are good but not good enough very cocky but he's funny
He's amazing, all these comments on him is true. Cocky, makes you feel like you aren't good enough, lots of slides, lots of work. But, its all a bluff... He's a nice guy. He gives makeup tests if you're absent for whatever reason. He does teach a lot of Biology at first. 3 exams, 1 research paper. Just study, study, study... It's an easy A... Trust
Proff. Vienna was a funny person, a lot of my classmates did not like him since our lectures would sometimes be controversial. He will challenge our minds and some students didn't like that, I guess. His review questions for the exam are exactly the same questions lol. You just basically need to memorize your answers. Overall Great Proff.
I took him in a 6 week course and got a 100% average. I seriously did not understand a majority of what he was talking about in class but once I found the pattern to each test, the class was very easy. Just read and use your mind to connect the dots and you'll be fine.
Even though i pass thank god . He a good prof and what he did was push me to write more
In the beginning you'll want to drop the course theres a lot of work to be done in this class, you'll have to read A LOT. This class really makes you think and you'll have to think outside of the box.
At first he would scare you with Biology Lecture but after that he would just talk about a lot of stuff. I missed one class and there were alot of information I missed on that day. so just show up and bring your coffee then you should be good to go
The professor provides all the readings so at first when you look on blackboard the work seems overwhelming but its honestly not. Its not an easy class, you have to put the effort in and come everyday and take notes of everything he says. He will go over it if you don't understand, all in all the class is good.
Its true at the beginning of class you will think its a bio class, overall hes ok and he gives you a chance, read and do everything you need to, wasnt one of my favorite class but it was ok. Good luck
He is one the best professor at LaGcc. Hes very straightforward and understand. I learned so much in his class. Be ready to engage with the class to better your knowledge. Never be afraid to speak your mind, be open and share your thoughts because the class is like an community and Greg discussions. Easy A,if you do what you have to do of course.
If you like every assignment to be group work, having tons of homework and an unorganized Prof. take him. This class is stressful and confusing the way that it's set up. Im shocked about these ratings.
To be honest this felt like a math class. He made this class unnecessarily difficult. I just dont understand why he made this class so difficult. So much reading he wanted everything detailed and explained. Even when you felt you thoroughly explained it was still wrong.
he don't give u score if u don't write ans in his way & he want everything to be explained in the exam but sometime tends to favor some students. In one of the quiz My friend basically paraphrase my ans and he gave he 10 but gave me 7 which is unfair. and if u like taking quiz and test every week, go ahed, this class is for u
He's a very interesting person and very knowledgeable BUT if you work full-time, and take full-time classes, you will NOT do well in this class. He is very disorganized so no matter how good you are at time management, it won't help. The grading criteria is not clear.
One of the best professors Ive ever had. With the whole pandemic going on, he was VERY understanding. Easy and fair grader! Cares about students thoughts/comments and suggestions. He provides ALL the text (dont have to waste time buying/renting or searching online). He definitely cares about the African American and Latino race. Best professor!
Great professor, although he may not be for everyone. Tests are HARD. However, I learned so much from his class which is definitely not always the case with many professors at LaGuardia. Makes you think outside the box. He also can be kind of grumpy in an endearing way. He challenges his students and treats us like real university students.
His teaching style was not for me. Too many assignments and sometimes he doesn't even teach you it. I took him for a six week period so maybe that's why since theirs a lot of information to take in.
He wasn't the worst but he had given too many assignments during a short period of time and no makeups!! Since we have no textbook and I was in the 6 week period it was too much to comprehend. If you work and go to school fulltime do NOT choose him.
Mind you, his test are hard. Its not like your regular textbook test, his test will make you think hard and read a lot. I honestly can say that I learnt a lot and he was genuinely passionate about his teaching. If you are looking for a easy Professor, maybe he is not the one but if you want to learn about psychology, then he is the perfect start.
Professor Vianna is an easy going professor, show interest and you'll be fine.
gives you a lot readings, and then you discuss with your classmates in groups, and then also answer questions about it yourself for assignments lectures were a waste of time in my opinion. No tests, just a final paper, and no class for the last few weeks. Which is okay for some ppl, but I guess my expectations were too high. I didnt learn much.
Hes a really great guy. He works with his students, he gives us fair work and he works around our schedule. Sometimes he snaps but he quickly apologizes! Participation matters in his class.
This is my second course with him... definitively I would pick him again if I could.
If you are taking this professor be prepared to read a lot! Professor Vianna does not play when it comes to participation, he will literally get so angry if no one responds and assign pop-up quizzes on material no one understands. He makes a simple question into something much more difficult, making it harder to understand. Attend class it counts.
all i gotta say is GET READY TO READ & PARTICIPATE ! he loves his readings and tends togive out a bunch of trick questions, he expects his students to come to class already knowing everything about psychology, mind you .. this is a first year course. He speaks about his personal life a lil too much also. If you have an option for anothor prof, RUN
get ready for him for homework and essays. a bit difficult but if you pay attention you'll be fine. He does not answer emails asap be prepared for that too. apart from that he's a nice teacher
I had to take this class as a prerequisite.I hate having to thinking outside the box especially with psychology however the professor was absolutely incredible and it's so refreshing to meet someone who is so passionate about what they do. I would strongly recommend professor Vianna as I finally 'got it'! I found the whole semester fascinating.
this professor contradicts alot of what he says. he says he wants to change the education system while still conforming to the system. cold calls students, puts them on the spot and says participation i important while interrupting students and ignoring their hands. talks too much about his personal life, you basically long homework all the time
If you're a psych major, take this class as you'll learn a lot. If you're someone like me taking this class as a Health Science prerequisite, I don't recommend. The homework is super complicated and will take hours, sometimes atleast 2 days to do. You'll easily be reading 30+ pages per week. He doesn't give exams which is good, but too much work.
Professor Vienna is the best!!!! he loves what he does and I learned a lot from him. I would definitely take him again. just make sure you do the homework and attendance is a must to get a good grade
Professor Vianna is an amazing professor that provides readings with pages numbers along with questions to answer. No exams at all and played two films for us to understand and connect what we've learned to the character. He really cares about our future and will do what he can to make things clear and accessible to us. The class in open discussion
The class was easy, but he was ok. Hard to reach through email. Lots of reading, but he'd provide the text through blackboard.
Show up to class, participate, write papers indicating you've thought about the material and you'll do well. Easy. Be ready to participate, even if you disagree with him. He's ok with disagreements, I think he likes it. But if you don't participate, your grade will show it.
He gives lots of homework and I think online class doesn't really suits him.
Great professor, he's very knowledgeable in his field. His assignments are straightforward and easy if you do the required reading. He loves participation in classes and feedback. Only downside would be that he jumps around a lot from topic to topic.
The class is challenging, with lots of reading and participation required. However, the professor is genuinely passionate and cares about student learning. For effective study prep, try using unstuck study alongside the textbook materials.
Professor Vianna is a very intelligent and thoughtful man. His lectures and ideas get you to think about events and concepts in ways you've never thought of before. He wants to change the system of learning and he is very different from any other instructor I've had. Lots and lots of reading and writing however so be prepared.
Very nice, he makes me laugh without even trying. Be ready to read- but honestly it's not even bad because he makes you read in class out loud so it really helped me understand concepts.
