I am in Professor Guinta's first Psy 100 class. She is really lively and makes each lesson interactive and fun. Class participation is a large part of final grade so make sure you raise your hand. She is a KEEPER!!!!!

She's new to the psych department and a true must have!!!!!

Professor Guinta makes my 8AM class the best compared to my other classes throughout the day. She is very energetic and is always thoughtful and helpful for her students in every way possible. If you pay attention to the lectures,(which isn't hard to do) and study for the exams you will do great. Highly recommended!

Professor Guinta is one of those people you come across in your time in college that leaves a lasting imprint. She is not your 'typical' professor. She doesn't merely lecture -- she applies the lesson to real world stuff -- stuff that we can understand. PARTICIPATION is a must and she calls on you if you aren't raising your hand so BE PREPARED!

Today I had my 2nd exam in my psychology 100 class. Thank god Professor Guinta provided a review sheet and we played "review Jeopardy". I did well on the test and am looking forward to my final grade in a few weeks.

professor guinta is the best professor ever. She gives extra credit to boost our grade. She makes my mornings. She is hilarious and gives real life examples, which are awesome. TRUST ME you will NOT regret taking her at all. It's your loss if you don't take her because She is the best.

PSY100 is a hard course in general, as long as you read the text book and study you will pass. Professor Guinta makes this class fun and interactive. She makes the criteria easier to understand and gives extra credit. makes review sheets to help even more. no homework. attendance required. participation required. Best class taken so far.

Uses real life situations to help you understand a topic more. Often goes off track with the lesson but tells us hilarious stories. Gives you opportunities to improve your grade in the class. Very fair. Would definitely take her again if I could!

She is a great professor despite the fact we are all dead at 8 am when I had her class. She is so helpful with review sheets, extra credit and in class reviews. She tells the best stories and is so hilarious. I would totally recommend her she is a great professor and a great person ! Best class this semester !

Jennifer Guinta is a fantastic character. Not only is it CLEAR that this is what she is meant to do, but she's also a hoot. You will not stop laughing in this class, but you will also learn. She makes things easy, she's there to help 100% unlike many of the teachers I have had. Don't hesitate to take her as a professor, she is truly charming.

I have Professor Guinta for my PSY 100 class this semester. I didn't want to take this class but it is a general education requirement for some reason. We have a really annoying, talkative class and Professor Guinta tries her best to get everyone to quiet down for the lecture. She has even had to move people around because they don't shut up.

Best Psych 100 teacher, although she won't be teaching psych 100 next semester. Very funny and helpful. Gives you everything you need to study for the exam. Listen and review power-points and you will be fine.

I just finished class with Professor Guinta last night. She already graded the final exam that we took last night, calculated the final grade for the semester and made them available on Blackboard. She is EXTREMELY organized and efficient. There is a research credit requirement that she reminds you about during EVERY class! TAKE THIS CLASS!

Professor Guinta is easy to understand and she gives real-life examples, not just lecturing from the book or slides. Recently she used a clip from the X Factor to demonstrate hypnosis. Though that may seem less than traditional, it was effective and the class understood the concept. Buy or rent the textbook - you will need it !!!

WOW! Who thought a professor could make a chapter on Research Methods interesting? We covered that chapter in class tonight and Professor Guinta makes it so easy to understand by using real-life situations. I have never had a teacher that was able to keep the class entertained (for lack of a better word) so that the time flies. She's great!!!!!

I took Professor Guinta's Psychology 100 class in Spring 2016. I have NEVER received so many reminders and emails about assignments due than in this class. It was definitely a HUGE help in managing my classwork. Class participation is a MUST and you better not use your cell phone in class as this is one of her pet peeves! Get ready to learn!!

Hands down my favorite psych professor at CSI. She is absolutely hysterical and always keeps the class interesting. She cracks jokes all the time but really knows her material. One of the very few classes where I didn't want to use my absences or be on my phone the whole time. Tests are very fair and papers are actually fun and interesting

Amazing professor, really funny. Raised my hand one too many time and didn't call on me for the rest of the semester. If you ask for help she'll definitely give it.

The slides come straight from the textbooks and so do the tests! SO be sure to read the textbook. The quizzes are based off what she says so be sure to take notes and participate. She likes volunteers. Uses her past experiences to give some entertaining examples and funny stories related to the topic. Totally would take her again!

Professor Guinta is absolutely hilarious! I learned a lot from this class and also walked out of every class in a better mood. Her review sheets are crucial, study for tests and keep on top of your work and you will have no problem.

Just about to finish up this class. Class had 4 exams but we were allowed to drop lowest exam grade. Exams come straight from the test bank so if you don't read the book you won't pass the tests. Professor gives study guide which is very helpful. She's fast with grading -- every exam we had she posted the grades on Blackboard by the end of day.

Amazing professor i absolutely loved her would definitely take again she's funny and she gives several extra credit opportunities participation definitely matters she gets really aggravated if the same 5 people raise their hands all semester

Had her for last semester, she is very funny and eccentric but if your falling behind she gives out extra credit opportunites and She loves PARTICIPATION!!!

This professor is awesome. When you don't understand the material, sometimes real life examples helps the most. She explains the material when you don't understand it and she is a lot of fun in class which makes class go by faster. She can be strict and doesn't take none sense but I would definitely take her again.

Professor Guinta is the best professor ever for psychology! She gets along with all the students and her explanations relate to the students as well. You have to study but the tests are all based on the powerpoint and the slides. Be prepared to laugh. She is amazing! She also LOVES PARTICIPATION!

This is a mandatory class for a psychology degree and its traditionally the WORST class to take. Professor Guinta makes it a lot less painful. Textbook is a must. She has no tolerance for cell phones in the classroom. Tests are tough they come from the test bank however she gives a study guide that helps. Would def take again but Im graduating!

First NO CELLPHONES!!! She will call you out (by name) for using your phone in class. Dont do it. Boring class made interesting by Professor Guinta. She wants students to lean and clearly cares about all of us passing. Textbook is required and she hammers that home. PowerPoints are easy to understand. Tests come right from the book. Hard class.

Amazing, love and respect students, zero phone zone

I took her for 202 and loved her so much that I took her for 352! This is the most boring class ever and is needed for fro psych majors, but she really tries make it fun and interesting. Genuinely a great person and is VERY serious about the no phones policy.

She is a great professor. We had one group presentation (which everyone got a full grade on) 3 exams (you can drop one) plus a final (which is only two chapters) and one paper on any famous theorist. The class is super boring but it's an easy A. Questions come straight from the textbook. Really recommend her to anyone

Just finished this class today and have to say I wasnt looking forward to Histoey and Systems but Professor Guinta made it awesome. ZERO phone and sleeping policy in her class. Quizzes are given before the lecture which force you to read ahead of time. Exams come straight from test bank. Boring class made great by entertaining Professor!!!

Prof. Guinta is an interesting professor with a lot of helpful background in the subject of psychopathology. Her lectures are efficient, and the supplemental materials are good. A little hard work and care is all it takes to get an A -- you shouldn't mess this one up. Show up, participate, write a good paper and read the chapters.

took this class for summer semester. no cell phone policy is strict but works because nobody was on their phones. does not tolerate students being cruel to each other which is something that i admire the most. gives out review sheet for exam. posts powerpoint slides for the ENTIRE semester when she posts the syllabus. VERY organized!

I had her for a summer class and she was amazing. She doesnt mess around with cell phones or sleeping in class but you should take her if you have the chance! She posts all slides/materials on blackboard and will have grades up by the end of the day. She is knowledgeable in so many different aspects of psychology is just all around a great prof!

very fair grading, great professor, engages with students in discussions. I loved her.

Just finished Spring 2019 semester with Professor Guinta she was absolutely amazing. She managed to make a boring, required class fun and interactive. Has zero tolerance for cell phones so dont try using yours. Would take her again but this is my last semester. Wish I took more classes with her! Shes a star in the Psychology Department! Loved her

PROFESSOR GUINTA MAKES THE WORST PSYCHOLOGY CLASS INTERESTING. NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE PSY 352 BUT WE NEED IT TO GRADUATE. GET THE BOOK. YOU wont PASS TGE CLASS IF YOU DONT. shes AWESOME. Id TAKE HER AGAIN BUT Im GRADUATING.

The only reason you won't pass if you don't go to class is because of the quizzes that she gives at the beginning of class for each chapter. The quizzes are not difficult, 5 multiple choice questions, all straight-forward. She follows the syllabus exactly, and if very quick at grading. She has a strict phone policy, but it's honestly not that bad.

I have never even made a review on a professor but for Professor Guinta I will. She is super direct with her grading and as long as you do what she wants you'll be fine. She makes 352 way better than its supposed to be. And shes a character too!

She's funny and tells lots of stories. You really gotta teach yourself though. So if you don't read or study, dont expect to do well. You really get the grade you deserve.

Just finished taking Professor Guinta after switching to an online class because of the coronavirus. She made the transition really smooth and did not increase our workload. Tests are easy now they they are open book. Had a few Zoom meetings probably could have had more but only 3-4 students would show up on Zoom. Would definitely take again.

WE HAD TO TRANSITION TO ONLINE DUE TO COVID-19 AD PROFESSOR GUINTA MADE THE SWITCH VERY SMOOTHLY FOR STUDENTS.

She basically gives a short quiz for each chapter( 10 chapters) , 2 major tests and 1 final . 2 discussion posts which are short, a PowerPoint assignment , a paper about a movie and an extra credit paper. It was an asynchronous class so we only met on the first and last day. It was a pretty chill class

Dr. Guinta is an amazing professor and inspirational. I took her for a winter class, which I was very nervous about, and she made the class interactive and a safe place to talk. This is a controversial topic and we watched movies that applied to class and were informative. TAKE HER CLASS!!!

I am currently in Dr. Guinta’s psychopathology class. She is an amazing professor. Don’t let any of the negative comments on this site intimidate you into not taking her classes She teaches with knowledge and passion. She is NEVER angry towards students, in fact we laugh a lot in her class! TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU CAN! You will benefit!

LOVE HER!!! I’ve taken her for several classes & if I wasn’t graduating in May I’d take her summer class. By FAR the most interactive Professor I’ve had. She gives great reviews for exams & usually a 3 point extra credit assignment. If you didn’t like her you probably weren’t doing well.

Professor Guinta is one of the best at CSI. I've had her twice already and I would take her again in a heartbeat. It is an easy class to pass as long as you do your work and discussion boards. Exams and quizzes are based on what you've learned so there are no surprise questions. She also reviews before exams. I would recommend taking this class!!

She is good, she knows her stuff that is for sure. You have to read the chapters to do well in this class especially not only for the quizzes but the tests as well. Anyone that is complaining is most likely lazy. Other than that she is good and if you have an issue like a real valid issue she is understanding. Wants her students to pass!!!!!!

Professor Guinta is a very nice woman. She comes off a little strong but you can really tell she cares about her students doing well. She gives extra credit opportunities. Will not accept late work. She posts all the work for the coarse at once so you have the whole semester to do it. Every chapter you have a 5 question quiz but it's nothing crazy.

attendance is mandatory, she's very kind. do the few assignments and exams and you will be more than okay!

I am very shocked that people give negative feedback to Dr. G. She shares her personal life to integrate the themes in what she is teaching. During our class, she shared her own struggle with addiction. She then added a positive outcome that she was clean and sober for over 16 years. She taught our class by textbook and real life experiences.

Disregard the negative reviews on here, if you plan on taking an online course and sitting silently with your camera off... she is not for you. If you want a knowledgeable and engaging professor, then take her classes. Class is a discussion, assignments and test are straight forward with plenty of opportunity for extra credit.

Dr. G is an amazing Professor. She's tough, but that's because she wants her students to succeed. She's funny and uses her own life experience to teach us. A WINNER!!

People need to chill out with their negative reviews. I have NEVER met a Professor so open and honest about her struggles with addiction and has us training for NARCAN. She cares about her students so much she's passionate. You may think she's telling but she has told the class she has hearing aids and knows she's loud. LOVE HER.

I don't understand the negative reviews of Dr. Guinta. She is a caring professor, and her class is straight forward. Participation is required but you will do well if you speak in class and study the material. Definitely recommend her for any of her classes.

I am not sure why she has so many bad reviews but she was an amazing professor. I personally really enjoyed her class. It was straightforward. The most important thing you have to do is participate, as someone who doesn't like Dr.G made it very easy and free to voice your experience and opinions. Great teacher!!

If you give a bad review to Dr. G there is OBVIOUSLY something wrong with your criteria for liking a Professor. She uses her own personal life experiences to help students understand the concepts since textbooks can be so confusing. She gets frustrated when only the same 5 people participate in class. Everyone just sits there camera off & silent.

Dr. Guinta is a very caring and knowledgeable professor. Uses a lot of real world experience in her lectures. She provides the syllabus and material early so you are well prepared and know what she expects. Do the work and participate and you will do very well in her class.

Great Professor, I'm very grateful that Professor Guinta uses her own personal experience in class to make the material more relatable. Engaging class, she wants everyone to participate and do well.

Great lectures, great classroom discussions. Uses relevant movies to tie in course material. Would definitely suggest taking Dr. Guinta's classes.

Dr. G is one of the best psychology professors at the College of Staten Island. She gives you the syllabus about two weeks before the semester starts so you know what to expect. She uses her personal life experiences to enhance the classes. I have taken her four times and she does NARCAN training for each class.

Wants students to do well! She's very kind and goes above and beyond for those who put in the effort!

Absolutely love her! Never been more interested in a psychology course, she's funny too. The movies are informational and will not have you feeling like the class is going on forever.

Super easy course. Needed it to fulfill an elective and she was more than reasonable.

super nice, just do the work and you'll be guaranteed to pass.

she's great. always makes the class enjoy the course material and cares about her students.

Literally so easy and straightforward. Syllabus makes everything clear.

I had Dr. Guinta for Theories of Personality this semester. She wants participation but she does offer a lot of extra credit so it's not that bad. Tests and quizzes are straight from the Test Bank and slides. Dr. Guinta brings her own life experience into class, which is very beneficial. If you are a psychology major take her!!!

She's awesome! Take for easy credit.

I have taken Dr Jennifer for many classes. She is very strict about attendance and participation but she keeps her lectures interesting and is very personable. She has a lot of quizzes but they are very easy and short.16 short quizzes on each chapter, 3 exams and 1 group project, no papers. Gives a lot of Extra Credit.

Good professor! She uses participation to train as a life skill. Easy course.

Dr. G is a great professor at CSI. If you are complaining about her you must be a terrible student. She wants her students to well, despite what they think. Follow the syllabus and you'll de well. I love that she brings real life experience to the table. We also had Narcan training, which is very appropriate for the current opioid epidemic.

You need to be ok with giving your 2 cents at least once every class if you take her. It's not bad, she just takes participation seriously. She can be a bit blunt which can come off rude sometimes, but I don't think she has bad intentions. The class wasn't difficult or a lot of work just the test questions could be a little hard, but not impossible
