HE is one of the best teacher's in the school. Very easy to get along with and also very helpful towards his students.
He is a very nice professor, and always help his students.
No Comments
He is a good professor. Some students may not agree, but once he sees you are doing your'e assignments,passing your exams and coming to class, you should come out of there with an easy B+ or an A.
Two Words; Awesome teacher.
He's a nice guy, but very lazy, never give our paper back.
He was very fair. Straight forward. Not overwhelming with assignments. Very laidback. Soft spoken. I enjoyed his class and recommend him.
Although he relies on his laptop, his lectures are easy to understand.. he gives good examples, speaks clearly and is helpful to his students needs.
Very disorganized and unresponsible professor. DO NOT take this professor if you actually want to learn something in the class. His lectures are very poor...he basically just reads off the book' power point slides. One more thing...if you like Pr.Arroyo, you will most likely hate Giordano's classes.
He is the bst teacher! don't forget JUST GO TO CLASS! That's all you need to do.
GREAT
Great teacher,attend classes and read, I got an A, he gives good explanatons please go to class.
Dr. Giordano is a gentleman and a very good teacher. His homeworks are very easy to do and he is very helpful.
I like Giordano, he has a sincerity about him and he is extremely polite, though sometimes corny he is funny and i enjoyed his classes.Very strong person, there was a semster i took where he was going through alot of problems in his life and he pulled through it and gave 100%.I respect him so much.Alittle boring but not hard to understand or pass.
best professor in this department . he is very helpful you really learn this from his class
think clear eyes commercial...
He's unorganized. He teaches everything exactly from the text book. His exams are fairly easy. He's a good professor. Participate, read your notes the day of taking them and you'll get an A
very easy piece of mrshmallow
exams very tricky and confusing nothing from the syllabus on the test
Great teacher. An easy A, come to class and buy text.
he is excellent professor in this campus man tell you that. he has a lot of experience and love to help his students . I like him he is great men . no matter what people say about his in you are in his class you will learn some how man ... best man in the campus
very bad + boring prof. gives loads of paper work. does not know how to teach students to understand the subject. a D+ teacher. skip him
he's a good teacher , you dont learnd that much in his class , but he will do anything to help you to pass his class
this guy is the best!!!!!!!!!!
OMG I LOVE THIS TEACHER HES THE BEST ... I RECOMEND ANY1 TO TAKE CLASS WIT HIM ... =]
Nice guy. Profesionally dressed. Very calm, very patient. Extremely laid back as far as assignments go. Not really the exciting type, but he gets the job done. The class itself was as dull as any of the other AMM 200 level courses.
Do these: be present in class. be professional. pass the test. go over the final project until you understand every point of it.
he is an ****..you don't want to take his class..you will fail his class..guyz please don't take his class...thankssssss..
First, make a point of calling him using the correct prefix 'Dr. Giordano' (he notes respect). His class was marketing class was cool. I learn alot as I was forced to push myself to study (he doesn't spoon feed). He doesn't give out many assignments and start studying based on the syllabus also be as creative as possible w/ the project he gives.
i love this Professors if you do what you need to do for the class you can pass it with at least an c the final project is fun and he is really nice everyone in my class had a good time many of they are taking him again for other Business classes
He is one of the Raciest prof. I ever see in LaGcc. Department should kick him out forever. He doesn't know how to teach. He uses CD in the computer and read every single lines form the CD. He does not explain anything. Nothing come out from his head. His grading wrost. I got 97 of the 1st test, did quizzes,project. As a result i got C.Bull****.
This is an easy class if you attend class, read the textbook and do the few simple assignments. The prof mostly uses powerpoint and text book to teach his class. If students don't ask questions he will go ahead with the lessons. However even though you may not pay attention during his class cause it can get boring as long as you read the textbook y
Very easy teacher. Complete all assignments, and you dont really need to study that hard for the test. He gives you all the info you need to succeed. A + Teacher! Please make sure u address him as Doctor Giordano, he is not a Professor so respect it!
Never take his class if you don't wanna your grade!!!!Terrible, and terrible professor.If your language is not English, you can't get A even if studying hard.Wast of your time and money!!
I love this Professor because he believes in hands on experience over textbook and reading and writing. he is always available to help.
he is really good in teaching and explaining, he prepares you well for exam and will give you extra credit assisgment just to help you pass the class. he is willing to help and very understandable. i had him in intro to business and marketing. he always jokes around and help you enjoy the time in class.
I LOVED HIM, HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR I WISH THERE WERE MORE LIKE HIM VERY HELPFUL. IF ANY ONE DID NOT PASS HIS CLASS IT'S BECAUSE THEY DID NOT TRY OR DID NOT WORK HARD FOR IT VERY NICE GUY TREATS STUDENTS WELL.
The coolest Doctor(professor) ever. Understandable, gives easy exams. However, must refer to him as Doctor Giordano, not professor. You will love his class. Grades fairly and his class is very interesting. Take him, the best.
His smile is very cute, but don't faith to his smile, because it will cheat you. He makes the class unnecessery hard. I did my all work very sincerely, but he lost my two my major paper I give him again but he never grade it. Don't take him you will get a C.
A lazy professor. That's why easy exams and assignment accomplished. Really helpful with extra credit. Take him. You will not regard it!!
His assingments and tests are not hard and u could easy get a good grade. However, sometimes he could be very disorganized: on the day of our test he came 45min late (for the 1h class) and lowered grade to everybody who left class after 30 min waiting for him. I think this is not fair:(
Truly cares about his students.
Pompous, disorganized, and unprofessional. Not worth taking him for any Travel & Tourism / Hospitality Management courses.
Giordano class was boring but fun, he asks students about their opinion, never judges and gives students breaks. Very understanding professor even if you failed some exams he will try to help you get a better grade. Great professor!
Difficult to get an A in this course. Teaches with the use of power point presentations so you must read each chapter in your textbook. Exams are True or False, Multiple Choice and Essay format.
HE IS WONDERFUL! DR. GIORDANO WILL EXPLAIN TOO U ANYTHING U WANT TO KNOW ABOUT BUSINESS OVER AND OVER! HE IS RESPECTFUL TO ALL STUDENTS AND HE IS SMILING ALL THE TIME. HE GIVES TO STUDENTS OPPORTUNITY FOR EXTRA CREDIT.REVIEWS FOR TESTS ARE CLEAR AND TESTS ARE BASED EXACTLY ON THEM. I RECOMMEND DR. GIORDANO LIKE NO OTHER STAFF SO FAR!
This class was the easiest class I took. 2 exams. Never had time to read the book. We reached only to chapter 5. We were out putting what we learned into practice. The final was our journals of events we attended. Seems like an easy A, but he grades in a weird way. Most of my grades are B+. He is very unorganized and forgets what he gives as H.W.
Helpful, somewhat inspiring, assertive -but a little dull. His class gave me a mild headache. Can be difficult to deal with, but odds are you won't have any problems.
As an instructor he actually forgot that I was a member of his class. I was concerned for my grade and had to speak to a department chair. I think he should retire.
Took him in short section. He is more lazier than the students. No test or finals were given, which is not a good thing. Took 1 week out of a 6 weeks to go on his vacation. Read about only 4 chapters of power points to us. Rest of the class he either cancels it when you get there, or let us go in 1hr early. He does not know how to grade you clearly
There were only 2 exams, a midterm, which was 6 chapters, and a final comprised of 8 chapters. Also, there was a field trip to a hotel and 2 essays were assigned. Prof. Giordano was generous with giving opportunities for extra credit. Just participate, and memorize the material for exams, and you will do fine.
During the short semester only two exams: Multiple choice, True/False questions and short answer essays. A field trip to a business hotel was mandatory, and the class had to write two short essays regarding the field trip. You can easily get an A, by writing professionally, memorizing the material for exams, as well as class participation.
This was a Hybrid course, which met only 1 hour per week, and one - two pages of writing assigments were given every other week. Overall this course was easy. You will be involved with working a couple of events. You must write well, and in your own words with no plagiarism, and you must utilize Meeting & Event Planning language for your reports.
Took this easy course during Spring 2nd semester. Learned about front office mgmt techniques by visiting various hotels. One midterm with T/F and Multiple Choice questions, and a lot of writing assignments.
Great Professor, good teaching skills and good humor. Just do your assignments, pay attention in class, his tests are multiple choice and an essay. Great Professor!
This professor teaches by reading directly from slides that are created for the textbook. You could stay home reading the same slides & learn the same thing. Even though most of his classes are easy i would NOT recommend him. His feedback on work is not considered constructive criticism just rude. Avoid taking him.
Dr, Giordano has a natural flair for motivating and inspiring students like myself to excel in the Travel, Tourism and Hospitality industry. It was a privilege and honor to intern for him.
You will need the textbooks for most classes, his classes are pretty easy with just reading and writing. Pay attention and you will get an A. The classes are a bore and are pretty dull, made me want to sleep.
It's an easy A if you memorize the notes he will give you prior to taking his exams and two out of three exams are multiple choice, True/False and a short essay. The final was a take home exam, five essay topics. Also, there is very little homework and a travel writing assignment.
This independent study "writing intensive" course was great. I was flying solo for the most part. I only saw the prof. twice. Never received any feedback from him for my various assignments, but I received an "A" for the course. I guess no news is good news in my case.

His teaching methods are ordinary and unfortunately this man is a deceptively overachiever with a ruthless side. When it boils down to student efforts, nothing is ever good enough for him, and it never occurred to this man that students are people with feelings. The butt that he kicks will eventually be the butt that he will kiss.
Amazing Professor very experienced in the field of the tourism and hospitality industry and very helpful to the ones that are trying! Work hard and you will get a good grade
Giordano is the best teacher in Laguardia he is flexible and understanding. Always there to help and has a great knowledge of the hospitality field
He has the cuttest smile ever. His work isn't that easy. But he doesn't make you stress . I kind of liked it
Dr. Giordano is very knowledgeable in the hospitality field. He is very polite and a great professor as well. If you are a persistent student, and you pass his exams, he certainly gives you A. Otherwise, don't expect A if you never do anything. One more thing, he is very helpful and offers extra credits. Be able to work. Life is based on sacrifices
Very knowledgeable about the hospitality business, takes field trips to hotels or restaurants, funny and interested in interaction with the students. Try to participate, very important to him! I recommend him, very good prof.
he is very patient and kind understanding he gives extra credit for students that need to catch up just a pleasant person to deal with
Does not see potential in his students & doesn't care about us either. He's too busy with a lot of responsibilities and doesn't have a clear grading system, super disorganized and so hard to communicate an actual conversation with because his mind will be on cloud 9 as you speak. But the exams are easy, so just have to deal with him.
He is an excellent teacher and has a lot of knowledge of the subject in the class, he give extra credit if you need help, just attends his classes, do the homework and quiz and you will get an easy A.
Where do I start with Giordano such an amazing professor, very caring, helpful, and amazing! I feel if you do your reading you'll get a great grade on class work and exams. Keep being amazing !!
Doctor Giordano is the best professor at LaGuardia college. He is very knowledgeable about Tourism and Hospitality field and also his lectures are hilarious. He is trying his best to involve students in converstions and gives tons of opportunities for extra credit. He is truly one of a kind, I will miss having him as my professor.
The best professor EVER !!!
One of my favorite professors!! He gives extra credit. Push back exam/presentation dates if needed.
He is the best professor in LaGuardia community college. I love his class. I will 100% recommend student to take his classes. Such a lovely professor!!!!
I had this professor 4 times.I chose his class because it is very easy. I had harder classes so I chose his class to balance it off. Participate, do the work & you will do great. This class is a piece of cake. The exams he gives you a lot of hints,he literally gives you the pages. BUT He is boring, he reads off his powerpoints. I fell asleep a lot
An amazing Marketing professor. He is kind and understanding, would move deadlines around to give everyone a chance to complete assignments. At first his class might seen challenging however he simplified it , in the end you will be able to write a professional marketing plan.
Professor Dr. James Giordano is a nice professor. I never witnessed him to judge any of the students of their works. He gives you lots of work but in the end you get a good grade definitely.
This professor is boring to me, I took him 5 times because I had tough classes. You really do get to learn because when it comes to presentations (which he loves) he asks questions just to see if you understand what you are talking about. If you feel doubtful about anything just talk to him. Build a great relationship with him because he's helpful.
Professor is very fair in grading and really helps you understand the material.
This professor has been using his teaching method for decades, he doesn't update his techniques, which makes it hard to understand. He is boring, sits there, and just reads PowerPoints. He doesn't know how to keep his students awake, or motivated at all. He is a tough grader also.
I really liked having him as my professor. He is really caring and nice to students. The lessons he gave was very interesting and fun to listen to. I wish he taught other classes because he was one of my favorites.
Professor Giordano makes the lessons fun and is great to be around. He gives us projects, reports, and writing assignments. It's an easy A if you are a student that is willing to work hard and pay attention. I'm taking another class with him called BTT 212 which is customer service and sales. I'm glad I'm taking him again for my courses.
I took Professor Giordano for BTT 212, BTT 223 and BTT 101. He is an amazing professor and very nice. The lessons he taught was amazing and kept me engaged. He is very nice and I wish he taught all of my hospitality classes. He didn't give a lot of homework and helped me develop a lot of skills like public speaking. He is wonderful.
