pretty simple and straight forward ,classes are in semi circle..midterm, final and one presentation, plus weekly h.w assignments which are doable, overall pretty good class even though it was on boring side.
Great teacher! Def recommend
Really really boring class. I learnt EVERYTHING in undergrad already. He plays favorites. Hardly teaches. The whole class is made up of presentations and ridiculous hmwk but in the end I did pretty well but I feel that I just wasted 3 months of my life in that class.
Professor Gissinger has taught me a lot of information that will be very helpful in the future. His class is great, and very informative. He makes the class fun, and comes out with jokes sometimes and it brings up our moods. I would definitely recommend him and take him again.
Great Prof, really cares about what he teaches. Homeworks are ok, test was a little too specific on nnot important details and not focused on the important material. otherwise great class.
A great professor, who really cares about his students and getting the information across. Makes the class interesting and adds in personal stories that relate to what we are learning. Has a lot of experience and knowledge of what he is teaching. I Just wish there was more time to fit everything in to each session. Overall he is a great professor!
lots of hw and written work, but not his fault it is the curriculum. other teachers teaching 602 give the same amount. wish material could be covered slower, would be able to take it in better and enjoy it. agree with who wrote wish midterm focused on more important material. overall he is nice and helpful but lots of work in the course.
Professor Gissinger is a great teacher who makes each class interesting. He has a lot of experience and knowledge about what he teaches. I really enjoy going to his class because he tells you his experiences teaching which will help me when I teach.
Professor really knows his stuff.
Professor realy cares about what he is teaching.
The class was very informative. I did not appreciate the overheads as we usually went fast and it was neither here or there. either go through it slow enough to write things down or don't go through them.
this class was very informative and gave me a lot of knowledge in the field. Prof> Gissinger taught the material extremely well and is an extremely nice and caring teacher. there is a lot of work but that is because there is a lot of material that has to be covered on the curriculum. i would def reccomend taking prof. Gissinger.
professor gissinger cares about his students, and tries to accomodate them. there is alot of work required, 2 papers, one presentation and writing homework every work. however this can be an advantage to the student because the work and particiaption is most of the percentage of the grade.
The professor covers a lot which is a lot of work for us and the projector thing that some wrote about i agree with but the professor is very pleasant and understanding. When he tells his own experience it helps us connect to the disability and remember it better.
The class is interesting and I learned a lot. The professor is knowledgeable about work. I wish I had more time to study for mid-term.Would recommend for future classes.
I think that "Introduction to Disabilities" is a great class especially because it prepares students to teach in the field of Special Education as well as it prepares for CST Disabilities exam. The content of the class is extremely useful and material delivery displayed thoroughly. I wish the overhead projection could be combined with the lecture.
Great Teacher, straightforward. you got a lot from him. he isn't boring. you'll def.like to attend his classes. I took 620 &602 with him. Fair grader.
He is very helpful in and outside of class. Do your homework- it really helps for his tests.
Professor Gissinger is extremely helpful and understanding. The work load is reasonable because he didnt put anything on the midterm that he did not teach.
Gissinger is a professor who knows what he is talking about. The course work is very interesting and will be extremely beneficial to know, prior to working in a school environment. His lectures are great, the slides that accompany the text book are a little boring, but all part of reviewing. His hws and projects are for your benefit. Great class!
Professor Gissinger is extremely knowledgeable on the subject he is teaching, experienced, sharp, and helpful.
Professor gissinger is an amazing professor. His class is interesting and his knowledge and experiences are very interesting. He tries as much as possible to get you ready for the real world and the test.
I liked this professor's class very much, it was very comfortable and engaging. We discussed maany things connected with disabilities. The Professor involved us into practical activities. Great professor, with a good sense of humor :)
the class was well spent. I learned things I didn't know
He requires you to come to class, participate in discussions & do a weekly homework but that's a small price to pay for a professor who actually cares about his students. He brings years of experience & is extremely knowledgable. He always answers emails & is always available to talk whether it's about class or work or anything. TOUROS BEST!
This class was very informative. There were weekly assignments. You have to show up to class. Professor gissinger is very nice and very helpful. He is open to discussing questions. I would definitely recommend him. He goes over the information a lot in every class which makes you know the material. Overall, great class!
I love Professor's Gissinger's class, he gave us reasonable mount of work. We had learn a lot from his class, definitely take his class again.
Professor Gissinger is an amazing professor you can see and feel the pasion he has when teaching this course. Only thing I am disappointed about is having to take this course during the summer session. He is an amazing professor and to have had such a short amount of time and gained all the knowledge that was gained speaks for it self....
Professor Gissinger was thorough and helpful throughout the course. While I understand the summer course is short, I felt he often stressed himself a bit too much. With that said, professor Gissinger is an excellent professor and I learned an abundance more than I imagined.
I enjoyed the course and the professor is very reasonable and taught us a lot in such a short time period. I liked the approach he used to teaching the material and the workload was reasonable. I would recommend this professor!
was very happy to have him like my professor! have learned a lot. very interesting lessons.
Professor is good and clear about what is being taught. There is a lot of work and requirements for the class. The work wasn't difficult but very time consuming. Homework for every. The class was definitely interesting and helpful.
I am really learning a lot about special education in this class. I really enjoy the personal stories and it is clear that his practical experience is immense. This has been really helpful in understanding the material.
Professor Gissinger's lectures are really interesting! I love his personal stories, it adds so much to the class. We are not only learning theory, I feel like he brings everything into practicality.
professor Gissinger is a great professor and brings a lot to the table. He gives a fair amount of homework and his lectures are very interesting. sometimes the class goes longer than its supposed to.
Great professor, very into the topic and therefore knowledgeable in the field. Gives good feedback and is available to discuss any and all matters. A lot of reading material, and weekly assignments, but the work load is reasonable.
Extremely nice and considerate Professor. Very knowledgable about child psychology and development. Reasonable amount of required reading.
I like going to Professor Gissinger's class, it is interesting and he is able to make you relate to the material he is teaching
Professor Gissinger is one of my favorite professor's at Touro College. In this class we learn about many disabilities. He brings in very interesting stories that either he has experienced or heard. He is extremely thought out about his ideas and you see he loves teaching. It is a pleasure to be in his class. I would highly recommend taking him.
I am lucky, that i am professor Gissinger 's student. Mr. Gissinger is THE professor everyone needs to get knowledge. His lectures are interesting, interacting, his sense of humor and humanity is contagious ... Professor Gissinger is a professional in many areas related or not to education. God bless, dear professor and thank you very much!
I really enjoyed being in Professor Gissinger's class. He gives a lot of real world experience and encourages discussion which makes the lesson very interesting and enjoyable. There are weekly homework and projects for the class, but nothing not doable. He is a fair and understanding professor.
Very knowledgable and always open to questions and discussion. There is a lot of reading and homework takes time to do, but you learn a lot. I recommend this teacher.
Great professor!
Professor Gissinger seems to know his Subject Class well, he's approachable, and understanding . It is very important to me having an instructor who's very interesting in every sense!. Especially to have a great sense of "Humor" which Professor Gissinger definitely poses. Kudos to him!:))
One of the best professors I have had.
such a nice professor! willing to understand and help. class required a lot of work but it is doable. enjoying this class very much!!!!!!! recommend it to everyone!
I'm currently taking Professor Gissinger. I am really enjoying hia class. We are required to do homeworks weekly, but is for our benefit to get us ready for the midterm. We have a presentation we must do but its not difficult. I actually enjoy this class as well as the professor and his sense of humor. Hopefully can take him for another class.
The professor is very knowledgeable. He is quite humorous. I enjoy the class very much, however there is a lot of reading. I also had a term paper, power point presentation and a mid-term due all on the same night. It is very overwhelming and this is not my only class. I am struggling to keep up, but I am learning a lot of interesting material.
Over all this was a very informative class, I just found the professor to be a bit long winded and If your not a reader please skip this class there are two books that you must read every night and with going to school and working there was little time to work on other class projects
Best professor that I ever had. His classes are very informative. He has a great sense of humor which makes each class a wonderful experience. He cares about his students and is always there for consultation. The work load is reasonable.I would love to take other classes with this professor.
He is a dynamic and brilliant professor. I learned so much during each class section. His knowledge of the subject and his great sense of humor made every class valuable and enjoyable. The workload was reasonable.
Extremely fair professor-- grading, listens to comments and complaints, respects his students' opinions. The reading was hefty, and homework assignment with each one was a lot. But on top of that, there weren't many BIG research papers or tests. HOWEVER, lectures are a bit disorganized and could be better if textbook was more relevant to lectures.
I think he is a great professor I find him knowlegable and easy to assist if he can. He is always cheerful and never mean !
The greatest professor that I ever had. He is very knowledgeable and kind person. There are a lot of reading and homework, but it is manageable and I' ve learned a lot. I enjoy the class. I recommend it to everyone.
Gerald Gissinger is a fabulous professor. He truly makes the class interesting and exciting. I loved attending his class, and I live out of the borough. Traveling was no big deal because I knew Id learn.
show up & pass,, as long as u try , he has ur back. great guy, easy grader fair, def would take again but he doesnt teach other courses. def take this prof boosted my gpa.
This professor is great! He is willing to help and reasonable. Lectures are clear but packed with a lot of info. He expects a lot of participation but is not intimating. Assignments are reasonable.
I look forward to class, prof. Gissinger always makes you laugh, while learning a lot. Prof. Gissinger always welcomes questions. And participation is a must.
Professor Gissinger is emazing teacter, his lectures so interesting and useful. I like his metodology to teach students. He can listen and understand everybody it is very important for proffesional teacher. I was impressed by him.
Even if I don't get good night's rest, I always leave his class being inspired, excited and full of positive energy. Incredibly motivating person.
Professor Gissinger is extremely fair, helpful, and a pleasure to have as a professor. There is a good amount of work that you need to be on top of, but it is worth it because you learn a lot from the class and the assigned readings. I would definitely take another one of his courses.

Amazing professor.I honestly, we need more professors like him. He is well organized, he knows how to teach and has a great sense of humor. Reading was assigned and homework based on the reading and was collected every week. Very knowledgable.

I enjoyed prof. Gissinger's class because he really gave students the feeling that we can go out there and make a difference in the world, and we will. Thank you.
Besides being very intelligent, Professor Gissinger is also extremely helpful and available. He is very patient with questions and is always accessible if you need help with an assignment. His lectures don't feel like lectures as he always gives us personal examples to help make the topic more relatable. I highly recommend Professor Gissinger! CT
Professor Gissinger very intelligent, also extremely helpful and always available. His lectures very detailed, with valuable examples. I love attending his class, and I would recommend for future classes. Definitely take his class again.
I took the 3 week summer course with Prof Gissinger and although it was overwhelming at first, it is understandable because it is such a short period of time and a lot has to be done. With that said, however, I really enjoyed the class and felt valued as a student. Taking Professor Gissinger agin next semester for sure!
Professor is very knowledgeable, is respected by students, gives interesting lectures and a lot of work to do.
Really enjoyed this class. The professor is really nice and helpful when needed. The professor cares about his students. The lectures were very interesting and the assignments were pretty simple and to the point. Make sure to be on time to class and pay attention.
If I had a chance to take another class with Prof. Gissinger, I would go for it. I took two classes with him. I really learned from his lectures, every day Homeworks really help to understand each chapter we talked about the class. Prof. Gissinger is very helpful professor and cares about students.
I found he had a very old-school way of teaching, lecture and listen. He didn't really appreciate students interaction in class. Classes were boring and uninspiring, the assignments didn't require a higher order of thinking. Very much read, summarize throw it on a powerpoint. All in all not my favorite class
I have taken Professor Gissinger for Intro to Students with Disabilities as well as Child Development. For students w disabilities he definitely prepared us to pass the CST exam, which I did. He is full of great advice and lectures. He has over 40 years of experience teaching, including being a principal and asst. principle for the DOE. He's great!
professor Gissenger is one of the best, I loved his class and was very happy to be his student. he is very fair, very clear, you will learn through very interesting discussion in addition to the book. he is willing to help his students to the maximum, gives time to each individual, communicate with his students, he is amazing.
I took SpEd 602 BA Introduction to Teaching Students with Disabilities with Professor Gissinger. I truly enjoyed the class and learned so much. Right after the class was over, I took CST exam and passed it from the first attempt. I highly recommend taking SpEd 601 BA with Professor Gissinger.
Thanks to his excellent teaching I learned a lot and received a B+ grade in class and pass CST disability exam. Therefore, I highly recommend this class to all future special education teachers.
He is a great professor he has great class lectures and is always available to stay after class and talk to you or will allow you to call him
Prof. Gissinger has gone through the ranks of teaching, from private school, to public school, to being a principal, and now a professor of graduate courses. He is a positive influence on the teachers of the next generation in hopes of making a difference in our futures, and those of our future students. I commend his integrity and candor.
Overall a great professor. I enjoy how he connects lectures to life scenarios. Would take again!
I really enjoyed Prof Gissinger's class. He engages the class into discussions to get everyone involved. There's plenty of work, but it's doable.
Professor Gissinger is an amazing educator. I appreciate the way he treats us all with respect and dignity. I enjoyed having open ended discussions with my peers and Professor as well. The demands for the class were made very clear from the beginning. I learned some effective techniques for teaching a diverse population.
Interesting and enjoyable discussions. Overall great experience with Professor Gissinger.
I really looked forward to coming to class. He's so pleasant and very informative.
Professor Gissinger is patient and kind. He knows the material and presents it well. He leads the class into interesting discussions to get everyone involved. I really enjoyed this class.
I found Professor Gissinger to be very informative he related the material to his own experiences within the doe. He was very understanding of students needs and always works with his students to make sure they do well. He took over our classes 3/4 classes in so we all had to adjust to his leaning style which wasnt too difficult.
I took Prof. Gissinger over in Forest Hills. He is amazing!! He knows his material very well. I would definitely take him again. He is willing to help students and and when approached with questions he makes sure you understand everything well.
Honestly just take his classes online. He makes groups do presentations every week instead of lecturing. He is not clear in what he wants for presenting, hw, etc. It's double the work for absolutely no reason. He contradicts himself, he claims he cannot change the syllabus but gives his own exam using points from syllabus. Nice guy but take online
Avoid if you care about your sanity.
Avoid if you know what's good for you

Not the best....
You will struggle
Professor masking himself as a student to bolster his reputation on this site. Says a lot about his character.
Professor Gissinger is an amazing professor. He makes each lecture interesting by having the students participle in group activities and presentations. Each class is very informative and I enjoy learning from him.
Great professor who truly cares about his students! Class is mostly made up of group projects, lectures, and discussions. He is constantly reminding you of work that you need to do in order to do well in his class. Would take him again!

He is a great professor, very caring and understanding. I would take him every time if I could.
Highly qualified educator who does a great job bridging the gap between theory and practice. Dr. Gissinger's career experience and knowledge about educators greatly helped me become a better teacher. Even as the only male in his class I was not discriminated against. LoL.
Great professor who cares about his students success.
He is truly inspirational. The class is very hands on and you learn real life experience for the classroom. There is a lot of work but he is understanding and helps you to work through it.
Professor Gissinger is an awesome professor. He is both compassionate and knowledgable of the information he's teaching. He takes the theories and examples given through the readings and applies them to real life situations and classroom experiences. He made my first class at Touro one of the best classes.
Prof. G is an amazing educated professional. He has inspired me to keep moving forward!
Amazing and very inspiring Professor! Very professional at what he does and has an excellent depth of knowledge in the course subject area. Very polite and respectful and always willing and available to help his students. I look forward to taking more courses with Prof. Gissinger.
Prof. Gissinger is a real gem. He is a very knowledgable Professor and a real sweet heart. Do your work as asked on Blackboard and you should be fine. He does not makeup the course requirements, as they are made by the school's head of the department.
I really enjoyed learning from this professor. He is very knowledgable and has a lot of experience in the public school system. Although he has to follow the mandated course work he was able to teach and share his vast knowledge in child development and how it relates to teaching.
An awesome guy. It was a shame the course design was taken out of his control, the classes could have been so much better.
professor Gissinger is a great professor who cares about his students success. He is very knowledgeable about child development. I would definitely take another course with him. Thank you professor for a great semester
People weren't lying on here when they said Professor Gissinger truly cares about his students and all students in general.

Great professor! I would take his class again.
Professor Gissinger is highly qualified and very helpful. Provides lots of great examples for different scenarios and classroom situations. Class is long but never feels that way. Would certainly a take again
Overall, this is a great and interactive class. While we do have to do a few presentations, it allowed me to develop more confidence with speaking in front of a group of people. You will learn a lot in this class and Professor Gissinger is a great professor and is very helpful when responding to questions students have. Definitely take this class!
Professor Gissinger is very knowledgable of the content that he teaches. He allows for collaboration to happen and the only real heavily weighed assignment is the portrait of a learner. I would take him again in the future if given the chance.
Very sweet. You can tell he loves what he does and it makes taking this class a lot more fun. So far I'm getting so much out of this course and able to apply it to my job which is very important. I would highly recommend taking this course with him!
Professor Gissinger is very knowledgeable. He makes it clear what the expectations are and provides helpful feedback and insights. Make sure to follow the syllabus closely.
Professor Gissinger is very knowledgeable and educated within the field of education. His feedback is always insightful and positive.

He is very sweet and gives great feedback to help you improve! Just make sure you follow the syllabus closely! Highly recommend !!!
loves helping his students.
Professor Gissinger is one of the best professors I have ever had in my college career. He is so admirable and looked at as a mentor to me. If I had any problems he is there for me. He may be a professor but he is a good man at heart. Do what he asks and you will not only learn but take away and hold onto for the future! GOAT! Laco
Professor Gissinger is fabulous. He is clear with his expectations and provides rubrics to guide you in your work. As long as you follow the syllabus instructions you will be successful in his course.
I took this class online due to covid. There are group projects. Homework is due every week. Follw the syllabus and you will be great. Professor goes strictly by the rubric when grading. Show up to class and do the work you will recieve a good grade.
Gissinger this semester: Would demand cameras to be on at all times if stepping away would count it towards attendance, no breaks till end of semester, when calling him to ask a question he was arrogant and sarcastic, and graded harshly. He gave us great info but was careless in the midst of a pandemic. Based on convos others felt this way as well.
Good professor. Make sure to keep up with the text readings and make sure to read the criteria for grading.
Professor Gissinger is a good professor. His style of teaching is mostly leaving it in the hands of the students. There's a lot of group work for this class so be prepared to be in contact with other students. He is very strict when graded so make sure you look at the rubric. He also doesn't answer emails so if you want to talk to him, call him.
This class is not hard however you have homework every week that consist of journals and more. There are group projects.
This professor goes strictly by the rubric. There is a lot of work but nothing that can't be done. If you have other classes make sure you get his work done first because it can be very overwhelming. As long as you show up, do the work, and follow the rubric you will get a good grade.
If I could take every class with this man, I would! He is kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful and always available for questions. A wonderful teacher and mentor. I deff recommend any class with him!
He is a wonderful educator, but more importantly he is a wonderful person. He cares about his students and takes time to help them. He is accessible to his students outside of class. He does give multiple readings per week (5 or 6 is usual), but you shouldn't be too worried about them. I highly recommend taking his classes as he is kind & wise.
Professor G is great at giving feedback on module responses. There is a lot of group work (abt. 3 group presentations/semester) in both his EDPN620 & EDSN600 classes. The rubrics are laid out for you. Getting full credit is as easy as following the guidelines. He is also available outside of class (phone call preferred). Definitely take his class!
Prof G is such a gem, He gives great feedback in all your work . I was overwhelmed at first since this is my first class in graduate school but he called and assured me that everything will be fine. He has this ability to listen and accomodate every students. My classess with him have been so worthwhile. Highly recommended!
An amazing professor! This class consisted of group presentations that covered what was assigned from the readings for the week, which i think is a great idea. He is very knowledgable and you will learn a lot! As long as you follow the syllabus and keep up with the work you will do well in the class! I plan to take him in the future!!
Gissinger is the absolute greatest professor at Touro. Very passionate and caring about his students. A man I aspire to be in the future. Knows so much and is helpful. Laco
He is not only a great professor, but a wonderful person. He cares about his students and takes the time to answer any questions. I have learned so much already. I would highly recommend taking ANY course he offers.
I've had the privilege of taking three of my graduate classes with Professor Gissinger, and there is a reason for that. He truly cares about his students and that they walk/log out of class with a sense meaning. He lets his students speak freely about their beliefs, values, and opinions. I highly recommend this professor!
If you have the ability to take Professor Gissinger for any of your classes, take him. He is such a great professor and is such a nice man. He is accessible to speak outside of class and is great at giving you the feedback you need. If I have the opportunity to take him again, I will.
Professor Gissenger is a great person. However, get ready to read a lot, teach yourself, and create presentations. He is strict on attendance; you have to keep your camera on, takes attendance 3 times per class. I don't think he realizes it, but he shows favoritism. Follows strict grading guidelines. He does everything by the book!
Mr Gissinger is a great instructor; organized, responsive and patient. He makes the class interactive and enjoyable. Offers feedback and encouragement to help you successfully complete coursework. Thank you so much for caring about both what youre teaching and how you teach it.
There is a lot of reading involved in this class and weekly journals to complete. In my opinion, he can be a tough grader. I wanted to take him for another course because I like his teaching styles but the weekly journals can be discouraging.
This is my third time taking Professor Gissinger which already tells you how much I enjoy taking him. There is a weekly journal response that has to be done just like any online course that comes from the readings. I love that we work in groups and present the material its like we teach each other and end with a fun activity like kahoot. take him!!
Prof. Gissinger is truly phenomenal. His material truly inspires you to want to attend and participate in class. The workload is doable. I do encourage everyone to take his class it will definitely expand your Knowledge in regards to the different topics. I have nothing but positive things to say about this professor. Would def take his class again
Professor Gerald Gissinger is the best! He gives students the confidence they need to learn. Took his course 2xs in the same semester. I learned so much. Cameras must be ON, which I respect. (It's a Masters Program) so NO you cant be in the supermarket. 10/10. He is highly knowledgeable and effective in his teachings. If you want to learn take him.
Professor Gissinger is truly one of the best. His teaching style is engaging, and he gives students the confidence to learn. I found unstuckstudy and the free textbook super helpful for staying on top of the material. Cameras on, no exceptions!
