GREAT! He is the best Math teacher you can ever have. Not only does he make the class fun, but he also will get you to understand the material like its nothing. If you take him, you will not regret it...
GREAT!!!
If you have not had Algebra in long time, he is great in teaching you the basics, again! He addresses your problems, and stays with you until you get it. He makes class fun, laughter abounds, he cares,took winter course,hot b/c he has great attitude!
There is so much to say about Frank. He is the most understanding, helpful professor i've ever had and probably will have. Math is my weakness, but after taking his class, i feel i can do anything. He motivates you, hes hilarious, and makes learning fun.
Great teacher, very helpful, explains very clear, he is funny and makes the class enjoyable...u can actually look forward to going to a math class
Great teacher very helpfull and funny
The absolute best teacher MCC has!!!
Hands down the best math teacher I ever had. I was so confused and frustrated by Algebra until Uncle Frank's class(as he likes to be called) he is really warm to the students and everyone will learn with ease. Take Frank Mento
Frank is the best teacher ever. He will make sure you know exactly what your doing and help you pass his class. He jokes around and makes time fly by. Frank makes math easy to understand and fun! Have Frank as your professor!
He's the best math teacher I ever had.
PROFESSOR FRANK MENTO IS FAIR, PATIENT, AND HELPS OPEN THE STUDENT'S EYES TO THE WORLD OF ALGEBRA. I RECCOMEND HIM TO ANYONE NEEDING ASSISTANCE OR REFRESHMENT IN BASIC ALGEBRA.
i love frank mento! take this man as much as you can! he helps you..never makes you feel stupid ever! jokes with you..is the best teacher i have had a mcc!
Frank is the bomb-diggity! Excellent sense of humor and a genuine nice guy. He is the best at explaining the retarded rules of math.
If starting out at MCC for remedial math. TAKE MENTO!!!! Very easy, you learn easily from his style, easy grader.. just great all around. The BEST math teacher at MCC. Attend all classes, try your hardest and if Mento sees it, he WILL pass you!!!
this guy is the best math teacher i have ever had he keeps you glued to his classes allways wanting to know more if any one has the option to take his class i strongly recomend his class
Professor Mento was the best. He is funny, smart, and very helpful and understanding. I would recommend him highly
Great teacher, i hate math and i am terrible in even though i still dont understand it Frank tried to help me and i def. think he is an amazing guy
Amazing teacher! If you have problems he'll help inside and outside of the classroom. He made the classroom a great learning enviroment. About 4 tests and a take home that covers your lowest grade. I will miss him..
If you register for Mento's clas , you will have a GREAT TIME . He not only teaches , he entertains . He will tell you a lot of jokes and funny stories . You will want to go to math class just to hear the funny stuff he'll tell you in between lectering . He is is very helpful , and if you try very hard , you will get a C very easy . GREAT PROF !!
Mento very funny and helpful.Doesn't make you feel dumb in class.It's really hard to fail his class.He explains everything.
He is the best math professor you could ever get. i was allways bad at math never could realy grasp it and then i took his 010 class and was hooked and was never bored i enjoyed coming to class so much so that i actually looked foward to class every day and when i was finnished with his 010 class i took his 014 you just cant go wrong with him!
I love frank. He makes math fun and funny. He tells jokes while he teaches so you are less tense and comfortable. His teaching method for math is amazing. I made sure I took his class no matter what day or time
Dropped algebra twice before I got Mr. Mento...he is the best!! He works with you and will help you, even with future classes!! You cannot go wrong with him!!
frank was seriously my favorite teacher for the spring '05 semester! i highly recommend him!!
wonderful math teacher, he lets you use the calculator, very funny, and the way he teaches you the lesson is very easy to understand. i 110% recommend him if u want to pass math - he is an EXCELLENT professor!
So far I have had a blast with his class. Very fun class and the best time I have had in any math class in my entire life. Also helps I am familiar of him from being a supervisor in my town. I highly recommend him as a teacher for any level of mathematics.
extremely good teacher in my opinion....he has a way of making you learn better
he is sooo awsome dude. the man eats chalk.Plus he's really down to earth and funny always tellin stories.
No Comments
I love him! Not only is he as funny as**** but he made algebra as understanding as it can get. no one can teach it better. He should be a commedian with his shoes off
I wish he would have higher levels of algebra. I knew everything in this level, but I still enjoyed that I had a chance to be in his class. He is wonderfull, he helped anyone who needed help. you hate math, take him!!!!!!!!!!!you will change your mind.
I've always been bad and math and never wanted to go to class but Frank Mento changed me. I took a 3 week winter session with him and went to every single 4 hour class because he made material easy to understand. As a bonus he likes to tell jokes, much of which are corny, but great icebreakers nonetheless. Best Teacher Ever!
frank is the best teachers i have ever had. i took him for both classes and he was so helpful, he is funny which makes class interesting. he goes the extra mile and is always trying to help everyone of his students
This guy is the funniest guy you will ever meet not only is he fuuny he also makes learning very fun and easy. Take him for math you will not regret it
he is an excellent math teacher i recommend him to any one
he's so funny and very good teacher. he's so easy and trys his best to make you understand everything he's teaching. take him if you want an A
I hate math but Frank was by far one of the best teachers i have ever had throughout my entire school history!
Mr. Mento is by far a teacher who exceeds expectations. He goes out of his way to make sure everyone in the classroom is on the same page and will always answer a question you have. A professor who knows what he's doing and teaches the class in style. Overall; great class and a memorable experience for all.
great person. he is very clear and he is so funny. the class is so much fun and he is the BEST!!!!
He was the best teacher very helpful he really wanted us to pass his class he was great in helping us understand math
I the Frank is one of the best math professor there at Middlesex. As long as you show up to class and try. He'll pass you. I think he's a very funny guy, he'll keep you laugh though out the whole entire semester.
I took algebra 1 with frank. He was the best teacher i have ever had for math. He explained the rules and was so clear. Gives take home tests and tests arent too long. Take this professor if you want a decent grade.
This guy is the greatest. Totally funny and really helps you to understand math. I was never good at math and I have an A average in his course. For Alg1, this is the guy to take!
Not a bad teacher but I just don't find him funny. Maybe its just me, but I'm not in the mood for attempted stand up comedy in the morning. Teaching style is good, humor is so-so.
Very nice teacher, comes across as intimidating at first, but he's really a great professor. Gives many opportunities for extra credit and is very helpful.
nice guy wish he had more depth refernce his knowledge and presentation
HE IS A GRRRRRRREAT TEACHER! I would loooove to have him as my professor again! If you really want to become interested and pass math I suggest him as your professor!
Was very helpful and a great attitude!
Mr. Mento the bomb! I am pretty awful at math. But his technique is incredible! He give lots and lots of practice and makes the class interesting with his colorfulf personality. At first you don't really know how to read him, but if you work diligently and show interest he is very fair with his grading. He will even help you out in Math Lab
He's such a great teacher! He keeps you awake and intrested at ALL times. In fact he actually makes you want to come to class. ..highly recommend him
Mr. Mento is the best Math teacher I have ever had. He makes everything so easy. He is a pretty funny guy as well. It's almost impossible to fail his class. All you have to do is show up and take his tests. Mr. Mento is awsome.
Mr. Mento is amazing! There is no way I could have made it through MAT013 without having him as a professor. He has a unique sense of humor but takes his task of teaching very seriously. There is a lot of repitition and all you have to do is show up to class and take the notes. The tests come from the work done in class. Mento is terrific!
Great Professor! Has lots of experience in what he does, pay attention, show effort, attend class and do the HW[ even if he's not checking them ] it helps.
HE IS A REAL CHARACTER! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE OF THAT AGE MAKE ME LAUGH SO HARD! He def makes algebra FUN! all i say is COME TO CLASS EVEN THO ITS VERY LONG! Trust me, when you need a favor from him, he will look you out if youve been coming to class on time and not leaving early. Hes a good guy and id definatley recommend him
loved this guy! he is the most genuine and caring professor i have ever encountered. take him, he's absolutely wonderful.
Thsi was the best and easiest class I ever had!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy! He's the best professor I ever had. His teaching style is amazing. I suck at MATH big time, but with Mr. Mento he helped me see my full capability. I walked away from his class with a B. He's Amazing! THANK YOU Mr. MENTO.
GREAT TEACHER. Really explains everything well. He is a funny guy-ask about his dyslexic Chinese waiter! This class will crack you up and you will learn tons. Just one thing-DON'T TEXT DURING CLASS!
a wonderful, wonderful teacher. I hate math. always a D student. He explains and will work a problem out for u until u get it. Even if u don't get it. As long as u make a effort and come to class he will he will grade you on that as well. He not like other prof. who strain to make you laugh, he will make you laugh. who said u can't learn & have fun
Funny teacher but only had him for a couple of weeks because I had trouble keeping up with the class with no experience in Algebra. Willing to help and excellent teacher
Funny teacher, but had no experience in Algebra math so had to go lower class. wish I got to lean more with him and he was a good teacher.
I give him the G.O.A.T award. GREATEST OF ALL TIME! This is the best class I've ever taken. He is extremely fair and really takes pride in teaching and earning his paycheck. Would highly recommened him for any math course. Never missed a class cause this guy is funny and made it easy to learn.
EXCELLENT! Mento is funny, engaging, not condescending, and will work with you until you get it! He works at a very fast pace though but he will always be there to help you when you need it. I'm so sorry he isn't teaching 014 next semester!
Excllent teacher in math
EXCELLENT TEACHER! All that needs to be said. RECOMMEND ON TAKING HIM!
Seems like a nice enough guy but he goes very fast and it is hard to keep up with what he is explaining. I've heard good things about him but for some reason he wasn't that great for our class. I think it was because there were two kids in the class that he didn't like so he took it out on the rest of us. I'm not sure if I'm even going to pass.
He's a funny teacher but he goes tooooo fast and he often makes fun of the students in class
he is really cool and funny and helps you a lot . he can tell who tries and who is slacking so if you put an earnest effort behind everything he will know that and grade you accordingly
great teacher had him for math 010 and math102 excellent.
Best math teach, end of story
He is an awesome teacher! He keeps class interesting and he is SOO funny! I wish he was teaching math102.
Fank Mento is a good man.
He's such an amazing teacher in more ways then one. If you don't like math at all he will find a way to at least show you how to at least complete the assignments and go over anything and everything you ask him. I would HIGHLY recommend taking him if you have the honor and the privilege. Look in advance for him in any math course.
Professor Mento, I rate very highly, he cares about the students, and he will help you in any way, he is a very good teacher, he is very comical and he makes sure you learn math and he works with you very closely, he is the best math professor I know.
This is my first time rating a professor, this is how strongly I feel that Mr. Mento deserves praise as a professional teacher. With a perfect balance of focus and comic relief, he makes Math easier to digest than any instructor I've had experience with. I've never been so engaged in a math course before, and I've ALWAYS hated math!
This professor explains problem faster than M track train. Very fast never understand any problem. Also if he catches somebody doing texting in his class, the person cannot pass the class. Also he told us he hold the revenge. I passed the class just for Aleks software. I work so hard and I got C. Do not take this teacher take professor Gasper and
Please save yor self dont take this professor
Who knew I could like Math?This Prof. was wonderful!He explained things with such clarity,and answered my endless questions which enabled me to understand a subject I had not liked!Extremely helpful with a good sense of humor.This class requires you to study but the Prof.will make it as easy as possible to pass with a good grade.He is the Best!
veryfast thinks every one is good in math. tast are hard he brings to the math department good man no doubt but worst teacher
Never a dull moment with Mento. Never. XD
PROFESSOR MENTO IS SO COOL. AND, HE'S FUNNY TOO.
Absolutely loved this professor.. I wish he was teaching 013 because i would take him all over again. Helps you understand and cares about you getting an A. if you work hard for it, you will earn it!
One of the best. Fair and to the point. Shows you multiple ways to solve problems. Can adapt to the class and get you thru your hurdles. Take his class and you will not be disappointed. I have never been a A student in math. With Frank I am.
he is the greatest algebra teacher i have taken :) ! he taught me alot of things high school dummys dont teachyou
ah i love prof mento! he is the absolute best. i hate math as a subject but he made me actually understand it. he is so funny and i did not mind going to his 8am class. i HIGHLY reccoment taking him i wish he was teaching 010 ! =(
A great prof!...definately reccomended...he's also hilarious at time...you won't regret having him!
I love professor Mento! He's the absolute best! He always keeps everybody laughing and his teaching is perfect! I would highly recommend him ! :)
Highly recommended. There's not a boring class if you take Mento.
he is a great prof! both gunny and helpful, deff knows his stuff and knows how to teach you to know it too. and ladies deff take him,, bc he is so hotttt ;))
Mad chill always helps if u need it ... Would totally recommend him
amazing prof! he wants nothing but to pass you! class wasnt mandatory but you learn so much and its not worth missing. hes so funny and if you see ANY bad reviews about prof mento, its coming from slackers who dont take the class seriously or barely attend. plus he gives extra credit!
Great professor! Super funny! :)
Take him! He is so helpful and funny, classes go by quickly and grades are fair.
GREAT professor ! he's funny & keeps you interested in the class. if you don't understand, he'll explain to you and do 100 examples. i've made sure to take him for all of my maths !
Professor Mento is an awesome professor. He is really funny and keeps the class interesting all the time. He loves to mess with you and he's a fair grader. Take his class you will not regret it. He might get a little mad about this review because he doesn't want people taking his class because he's lazy! Lol. Really take him he's a great teacher
Greatest Proffesor at MCC. Very funny and helpful. Easy A
best professor at MCC.
Great professor! Give plenty of extra credit and is willing to stop and go over something if you don't understand it. Fair grader. His class is so much fun! Always sarcastic & entertaining. Do yourself a favor and take his class!
Awesome! Gives you practice test which is just like the real test (except that it has dif numbers). aka No Surprises! Well spoken and funny! Def enjoyed class with him...
BEST Math prof. I have ever had. you have to really be trying to fail his class.. he is helpful and he breaks things down for you but you have to ask. he is awesome if you can take him DO IT!
Funniest, best math professor I've ever had. I struggled in high school with math, but he mad it so easy. He was also very entertaining. He gave practice tests that were exactly like the real test, but with different numbers. I def. recommend taking his class!
He has to be the most caring, interesting funniest and awesome teacher anyone can ever ask for. He has the best methods to help you remember the formulas, which is the best way to learn math. If you really want to learn math take him!
Best math teacher point blank. You'll love him like everyone else does. I dont't even have to explain just TAKE HIM! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Words cannot describe how Professor Mento is the best! Without a doubt, you should take him!!!!!!
sooo easy and so sweet
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He is kind, funny, so helpful, and really easy. He knows math is hard for some people and really helps them through it. His tests are easy and he reviews everything many times. He is a great person.
he is easy going and completely far and nice in class, deals with students nicely he normally asks questions from his revision test ......
awesome professor! he is definitely one of the best math professor's i've had in awhile. he is a pretty fair and easy grader. what i really liked most about his classes is that he gives you a practice test before you take the test which shows it is going to on it. more professor should do this. take him and you won't regret it.
My favorite professor of all time, he teaches you the simplest ways of solving the prblem. Helps you out with anythin, very nice guy, and has a awesoem sence of humor 5 out of 5 star rating
Currently in hi class now. He's always willing to help. Great professor overall.
Greatest professor ever very fun and funny likes to joke loves to teach if u do the review sheet u can do the test
I'm currently in his class now. He is a very helpful & down-to-earth professor. I enjoy his class. It's not a big deal if you miss class bc he goes in order in the chapter. He gives homework, but allows you to start it in class & everyone pretty much finishes it & leaves class early. But don't be late, he hates that!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! Hands down the best math professor there is at middlesex! He is hilarious and always tried to lighten up the mood, since after all it is math. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Mento, tries to help you out to do the best you can do and actually encourages you that you are smart! TAKE HIM!!!!
Prof Mento is a great prof, however, he may seem intimidating to some people. I took the winter crash course so we covered a lot of info in very little time at lighting speed. He expects students to understand problems immediately, which is not good, so if u dn’t understand, def ask him to repeat steps. Txt book required. Attendance not required.
By far the most amazing math teacher I have had ever. Math was my worst subject in high school, professor mento helped me better understand it and him being funny made it enjoyable and you always wanted to be in class.
Amazing professor! As long as you attend class, and do your homework you will do great in this class!
HONESTLY THE MOST EASIEST PROFESSOR EVER. he is easy to understand and really funny and has his own jokes that are actually very entertaining. very sweet. i will be taking all my math courses with prof mento.
Best professor I've ever had. Such an awesome teacher. I wish he taught 014. I would take him for every math class I need.
This prof got great reviews so I chose him for an internet class. He was just not around ever, no communication throughout the entire semester. The syllabus was unclear, then at the end of the class he kept changing the final around. I felt like he was blowing us off. Not recommended for internet class
I had Prof. Mento for the same course and I got an A. If you did not do well it was YOUR fault. The changes he made ALL benefitted the student.
This is by far the best math teacher I've had, Professor Mento makes the equations much more easier to understand and will answer any question that you have. I had to take him at 9am-12, 4 days a week which I thought would be terrible but his energetic/humorous attitude made going class less of a dreadful experience
Such a wonderful teacher and his assignments are so easy. Always lets you do homework in class and finishes early most of the time. If you have a question, he'll explain it until you understand it. I had personal issues and he was way more understanding than any other professor I've had. Definitely recommend!!
What a lovely professor!!!!! The best in MCC. I wish all the professor were just like him. Highly recommended even if u hate math, you will love it.
Attendance isn't mandatory but it is really important. one day out of the semester he will give you a pop quiz and if you're absent that class for whatever reason, he wont let you make it up. and that goes for every test. Very funny and nice professor though, makes class understanding and fun. pay attention and study you will pass without a problem
Ok professor. Likes to joke around a lot, not a good class for someone who wants to learn (which is why you are there). Very tough the first week and last month of semester. I would not take his class again. Was unhelpful and unclear in lecture and said many offensive thing to students and about other professors. Not worth the money for this class.
Attendance was up to you but since he moves quickly and covers so much in one class its almost impossible to catch up after missing a day. No homework at all. An easy A just do all of your Aleks and when a test comes around, study the study guide he gives because all his tests are basically the same, if not identical to the study guide.
Great professor! It is a very easy class and it would be hard to fail
Fall 2014. Easy Professor! Loved him! He was a jokester not many laughed at his cheesy humor but me haha. The only way you won't pass his class is if you don't the online work (Aleks) he mentions It once in the beginning of the course & never brings it up again so keep up with that! I did like 50% of it on the last couple days of the class passed!
I had Professor Mento for two math classes. He is a very good teacher. If you are like me and need a professor with a personality then this is your guy. So funny and such a great teacher. He teaches at a pace that works with everyone. If you fail his class than you must of never gone to class or tried. His test are easy and he gives study guides!
This professor is very easy, explain things very clearly and neatly. Not tough grader, fair grader. Always jokes around with students. Very out looking dude.
Very confusing syllabus. Does not really clarify what he means when you email him. Received 3 different syllabus for the same class. Hasn't posted any of the grades yet and is very vague on giving any kind of information as to what you should be doing.
Hey, everybody I recommend take this professor.. he's very easy and always jokes on student
If you are not good with math then he is the professor for you. Professor Mento makes the class more easy then what it looks like, he jokes and chat with student that class is an easy A.
Great Professor. I've never been good at math, but I was able to do better in Mento's class than any other math I've taken before. His corny jokes help the class time fly by, plus he always lets class out about a half hour early.
Great professor! Made the class as easy as he possibly could and let us out at least half an hour early almost every class. Gave a study guide before every test which makes them extremely easy to pass. I would take again!
Laid back man. Tells jokes that aren't always funny, but you can always pretend to laugh at them. Asks you to buy the textbook but you won't ever need it. The only homework you have is completing the annoying ALEKS pie. He has 4 tests and a final. Gives review sheets before each test that pretty much cover the whole test. Final is multiple choice.
Great Class. Take him for 013
Good professor. I've always struggled with Math, but had an easier time taking his course. He simplifies concepts and makes them easy to remember. His practice tests are literally almost the exact same as the actual test, so just master the study guide and get a high grade on tests. He's a good guy with a sense of humor.
Professor Mento is very easy and always jokes around with his student. His class is very easy and his lecture and explanation are very clear and unique. He's the best math professor ever in MCC. If you take him for any math class I bet you will pass. He doesn't teach full class. He let you go early.
Generally, he's okay. He knows his stuff. Seems a bit intimidating at first. Just be nice to him, which is not that hard. Study, do the problems, and you'll be good!
