His grade is so hard..He may be helpful but if u need good grade, u gotta avoid his class.
he is okay. one who seems to know his stuff. advice: do not be intimidated.
He is an amazing instructor. He is a no nonsense teacher. He is a hard grader, but you will leave his class with knowledge. He makes learning fun and interesting.
Hey This man is great but is a hard grader, he is an aamazing prof. His grading system is hard but it's worthed. He keeps you in track
aceto is in my mind a very thorough professor.he explains the work through and through anyone who he teaches will learn so much.i highly recommend this teacher.
You might hate him now, but you'll be thankful in the next classes you take. I know, I had him last year. Hard, but very willing to help. Looks like an older version of Sam Champion.
This teacher Rocks! i didn't have such a teacher for a long time - knows what he teaches, does it on the best side, and he's Human - what most prof. usually forget to be. be honest, do your work, and show progress and he'll treat you well. don't BS him, cause he knows them all... iniside out. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !
he is really funny. this is the first time that i never feel boared in the class!!! he is not hard greader. he is fair and trys to help student.
He is awesome,@ the beginning you'll want to drop his class.But you'll be so GLAD you didn't. He's alot of fun!!!!!! It's alot of work at the beginning,but towards the end it gets easier and easier. I'd recommend this Professor to anyone taking ENG 101. He is so helpful !!!
He knows his stuff. He's very willing to teach those that are interested in getting an A in the class. If he feels that you're not, he will tell you right off the bat that it's best to drop the class and take another professor for the same subject. Got myself an A but it wasn't easy. Do the work and you'll get an A. Don't get smart with him.
i LOVE ACeTO! he is wonderful. he is soo helpful and will make you understand anything. he does give a lot of work and makes sure everything is legitiment. so you will hate him while youre doing homework and papers, but you'll be soo thankful for him during later classes. plus he's funny and he keeps you awake
He is very helpful. Diff keep me wanting to come to class. Gives a load of work but so long as you try its cool.
awesome professor! he has a great sense of humor, makes me look forward going to class which leads to me say that attendance is VERY important.
You'll learn a lot and improve greatly in his class. He is humorous and passionate, but sometimes very tough. Besides English, he knows a lot about different cultures, different languages, for example, Latin, Chinese. In truth, I appreciate his style.
Wow prof. you sure are good at posting good comments about yourself. lol. In my humble opinion,Prof. Aceto is a hard grader. I have lot more to say about him. but my time is more precious. Not recommended, even though i got a decent grade.
smartest professor i have ever had. he can make you understand just about anything when it comes to literature. he is so funny too its impossible to fall asleep in his class.
for the first time ever it was easy for me to take the decision to drop out of a course..he has no respect for his student..what other pepole call it humerous ,i call rudeness,he would give a finger for your wrong answer.he is so arrogant
John Aceto is one of the best English Professors in Laguardia...It is A lot of work, but when you finish he sets you up for achievement.
best professor i have ever had.if you pay attention in his class you will have a lot of fun.
IT`S ME AGAIN AFTER THE END OF SEMESTER.I`M GLAD I DROPPED HIM ON MARCH 7..FOLKS GO FOR profesor NELSON...aceto is the worst thing(i can`t call him a man or even a human being)on the face of the earth
One of the best teachers I've had so far. VERY SIMPLE if you PAY ATTENTION to him during class. If you follow his instructions you'll do well on essays and assignments. I can't believe why anyone would give bad feedback, but then again there were a lot of dead beat students in the class who would sleep and come in late, or be disruptive and then wo
ProF. Aceto was very helpful. I toke him for a prequiste english class and had to retake the act test.... It is a LOT OF WORK. If your willing to work your accomplishments cleary show. I got a 9 on my act and in later english classes he prepared me for english 101. he was a great proffesor and I would recommend him to anyone!
aceto is a brillent professor,i learned so much in his class despite the grade i got that was my fault... but hes really good and helpful and a brillent
He is really good, i learned a lot from him.
Not bad. He is very strict but very funny as well. He gives lots of assignments. U have to keep a journal. U can upgrade ur essays for a better grade if u submitted them in time. He doesn't give specific grade (until which is ur course grade). He grades ur essays out of 10 (5/5). U must pay ATTENTION to his INSTRUCTIONS. Work hard & u can do well.
This prof. is one of the best, he is very demanding with work but if you do as he says you can pass with no problems.
He's not friendly at first (he's guarded), so give him a chance. You can get a good grade (A or B) if you do the work and pay attention. Don't take the class if you will: fall asleep, goof off, act homophobic, or not pay attention. I highly recommend him. His name is "Jon", not "John". He grades VERY fairly - better than other instructors!
He's a great teacher, just make sure you do all his work and do it well. He is strict with grading. I thought I would get at least a B, but I got a D+. =( Make sure your journals are great. The presentation is the easiest part of this course. Sweet, simple and quick. He is also funny. You wont fall asleep in his class.
i love him. i will miss him.
He is hilarious so I don't see why anybody would fall asleep in his class. I would suggest to do all the journals and submit all the papers, and you'll do fine. I was expecting at an A- at least but got a B+. He's a lil hard grader.
I love him !!! He is a great professor. I the beginning I got scared and I felt that I will not pass this class, but I did everything he assigned us to do and I got a B+!!! I miss his class a lor! I would love to have another class with him !
This teacher is amazing. He is engaging, intelligent, helpful, and passionate about his teaching. His humor is hard for some to swallow only because its sarcastic and "in your face". He really makes you think about both the material and the things people take for granted in every day life. He reminds me of Dr. Bruce Matthews from BHSEC.
superb! He is my prof right now and I can't wait for the lessons. His class is a delight, but the best part, after each lecture, I think for days every piece of literature that he talks about. His dark humor is the flavor of the hour that makes it like 5 minutes instead of 60. But I need to say, he is very strict.
I dont reccomend this professor his class is very very hard and he likes to make fun of other, he acts like he knows everything and like he is the best but he does not explain what he wants for the work that he gives.
The best English Professor in Laguardia-period. He has teaching down to a science, and is able to use his intellect and black humor effectively and amazingly. Although he is great, he is extremely tough on attendance and essays, but don't let that hold you back. His enthusiasm is actually inspiring, and has led me to continue reading poetry!;-)
He is a great teacher! i enjoyed his class very much. hes a funny guy but he is very strict with attendance, work and participation! BRING EVEYTHING ON TIME AND BE ONTIME. there is alot of reading to do but he explains everything clearly. the papers are easy except for the research paper. he is understanding aswell.
Awesome professor. He can be very strict with the work.But he is very helpful. Helps the students to improve and makes his class interesting.
His a great professor. He really wants his students to improve, which by definition is a great professor. He is also very understanding, so have fun!
He is a great teacher i wish i would of had him for Eng 101. Before this class i hated english because i did not like to wirte but he made it fun and easy. He speaks his made in class he does not sugercaot the world to you which alot more Profs should do.
The worst around, wont go deep about why but trust me you rather deal with another professor. unless you want to dedicate all your work and time on his ridiculous rules go for it.
You better pay attention in this class and submit your work on time and he is very strict about attendance. He curses and people think it's funny. for the record, you cant get over on him. if you come late to class three times, you must do an essay to get readmitted to the class, and if your late for just one minute, one minute your late=/
Hes the best teacher. LOVE HIM
I ABSOLUTELY loved Professor Aceto! I agree with the person who said that he/she did not have an interest in English previously. I wasn't too interested either until I had Professor Aceto. He makes class worthwhile and he's humorous, too. He is very fair and highly intelligent. I've learned so much from him and now love English.
Great teacher, always helpful. You must actually do work to pass this class. But I enjoyed every minute of it. He's very clear and knows what he's talking about. Would definitely take him again.
Well professor Aceto is a very good teacher. His teaching is very clear and very understanding
I agree professor Aceto is strict. I think that is how all the professors should be. There is too much fooling around in some classes which distracts serious students. I am taking him now. The difference between him and other Professors is that, He does not pass/fail students. Students PASS or FAIL themselves. I hope to pass his class.
I have successfully completed my Eng 102 class. My grade is exactly what I think i deserve. If I had the chance, i would take it all over again(just kidding)I definitely will recommend my friends and other classmates to take professor Aceto. I have learnt a lot in his class. I can't believe i'm saying this but I think i like Poetry now.(haaaaaa)
Prof. Aceto is a good professor. He gives a fair amount of work. You can expect to do alot of "Free Writes"; In Class Quizzes; 2 Papers-1 Research Paper; Oppurtunity to resubmit papers with low grades for improvement; Overall, excellent ENG 101 Prof. Highly Recommended! You will learn something from his class
One of the most intelligent man that I've met. He's highly devoting to helping us improve. Intelligent, humourous, entertaining and understanding, although I admit, you will have to work and I mean WORK to succeed. Overall, one of the best professors I've had, very mind opening class.
The absolutely best! I actually always looked forward to attending his class. Very intelligent and free minded professor. He makes his lectures real interesting not boring at all. But you truly have to WORK for a grade and expect to do a lot of readings. Only 2 papers and 1 research paper. I highly recommend him you'll absolutely love his class!!
He speaks a lot of languages! From the start, you can tell that this man knows his stuff and he is passionate about it! He makes everything so interesting just by the way he speaks..with such fervor. Not a harsh grader, but you will have to determine that for yourself. He always says, "I don't fail any students, they fail themselves." -Jon Aceto
He is great. He will make you understand English on a new level. A lot of essay writings but its worth it.
Took his class in the summer of 2012 and I had a ball and learned alot!!..Never a dull moment in the class and he knows his literature and will open your mind to poem and poetry. I recommend him to anyone taking eng 102. Essays and final wasn't hard, he teaches you everything and much more...
great teacher!!! makes you understand the work. . just submit work on time and u can receive and A. he loves to see students imrpove! hes not a harsh grader.
I do not recommend this teacher at all. He is not normal, very dramatic and make students feel like there not smart. He will defiantly be-little you as human being pick any other teacher but him
He's honestly one of the best professors, actually teachers, I've ever had. He's passionate about the subject, he speaks many languages, I was actually able to speak to him in German. He explains anything that needs clarifying and he makes the subject enjoyable. He grades according to how much you learn and your efforts. He's an amazing professor.
he is very demanding professor. He gives very low grades and many assignments. I do not recommend anybody to take him as rofessor.
It was so entertaining to watch him teach. He uses foul language to keep us awake, but he truly is a nice guy! I learned so much in his class; I am now taking an ENG 102 in honors and I find myself less stressed because I was very well prepared. Great professor, I highly recommend him. Just don't be absent too many times and give the class your all
Does not mess around. Unclear on instructions. I had 3 absences but a B in the class and he failed me. Very rude, bossy and a total headache. If you have a strong personality, you might get along with him. However, I did learn a lot.
He is a great professor, knows a lot about literature, and he knows a lot of languages. Although he gives a lot of homework, it really helps to improve your essay writing in the long run. He is very funny as well. The only thing that I am frustrated by is that he gave me a B- in his class when he originally said I would get a B+ in the class.
I really liked his class I learned a lot.he is not an easy professor but your in college nothing Is easy !!!! If your willing to learn take him . U will have to write a research paper but it's so much fun !!!! And u learn allot ...
HE IS THE BEST! HE WAS VERY HELPFUL!(WHOEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT HIM IS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT DO WHAT HE ASKED THEM) 3 ESSAYS AND 1 RESEARCH PAPER WHICH CAN BE REVISED FOR HIGHER GRADE!!VERY VERY NICE PROFESSOR! I RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE! KEPT THE CLASS FUN AND INTERESTING! ANGIE
great!
Do Not Skip This Class. Great Professor. He will fail you if you miss more than 5 hours of class even if you are an A student. The essays are repetitive. Its basically the same essays but with different stories or poems. The research paper at the end of the semester is just a revision of one of your previous papers with scholarly articles.
Mr. Aceto changed my life when it comes to literature. some say he is not easy but in all truth he is . If you are a strong minded person, a hard worker and take college seriously you will be grateful to have him but if you are a procrastinator do not waits your time in his class. I got an A-
This man knows his stuff, super knowledgeable, and inspirational. Not a second of his lecture was ever boring, I was engaged and excited to sit in his class room every other day. Makes you work hard for your grade. Readings are a must otherwise you will be lost. If you're person who actually wants to learn and more you will love and appreciate him.
I cant tell you u guys enough how knowledgeable Prof Aceto is. Like what DOESNT he know?! He makes the class very entertaining & likes his students engaged. As for the whiners & complainers, he lays it straight from the very beginning. There's 3 papers in the class (which can be revised for higher grade) a research paper at the end. TAKE THIS CLASS
Great professor, actually took the class before and failed with a different professor. Taking it with him was a breeze. He is clear with what he wants and as long as you follow it you'll get a good grade. Lets you revise essays to get a higher grade which is great.
Changed the way I view literature. Dr Aceto is very passionate about what he teaches and is extremely intelligent. Do your readings, do your papers (which you can revise and he helps you), and 1 last research paper. He is very strict on lateness and attendance but amazing professor nonetheless. And he keeps lectures entertaining and engaging!
VERY PACCIONATE PROFESSOR WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND WILL LEARN A LOT JUST HE IS VERY STRICT WILL ATTENDANCE AND ASSIGNMENTS
VERY PACCIONATE PROFESSOR WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND WILL LEARN A LOT JUST HE IS VERY STRICT WITH ATTENDANCE AND ASSIGNMENTS OTHER THAN THAT VERY HELPFUL GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVISE TOW ASSIGNED ESSAYS JUST DONT TURN IT LATE OR HE WILL NOT ACCEPT IT AND IF YOU LATE MANY TIMES MIGHT FAIL THE CLASS, OTHER THAN THAT YOU WILL LEARN A LOT.
I would take his class again&again. He makes it extremely entertaining and interesting. Not how I expected Eng102 to go at all. Hes very clear on what he expects in your papers and he's very helpful. Don't fall behind on the readings and take advantage of his office hrs. There's nothing Prof Aceto doesn't know. I learned more than I thought I would
the first day of class i wanted to drop him because he scared me to death!! however, staying in his class and learning everything he was so willing to share has deff changed my life. he is funny and i can never seem to get enough of his class. very down to earth however you will have to work. nothing he assigns is hard at all, however u read alot!
Aceto!! Literally looked forward to sitting front row in his class every day! He is a bit intimidating at first but it is all in good fun. He is very high energy and like everyone has pointed out KNOWS HIS LIT! He definitely makes the class worth attending everyday!! Strict on timely papers and assignments. BIG ON ATTENDANCE. U WILL LEARN ALOT!
Dr Aceto really has been my favorite professor, hands down. His personality comes out in waves that always leave the entire class laughing and shocked because he's so funny and free. I got into some trouble in the middle of the semester and he worked with me and I made it. Take his class; you will not be sorry. He's so funny and nice.
Dr. Jon Aceto was awesome
Jon Aceto was the best Eng Prof. He was deff a bit intimidating at first, but you will learn a lot from him. Text book is a must, and make sure to bring it everyday to class! The readings were always interesting, and his lectures were amazing. He def kept you awake from his choice of language. This class was so worth it, always take notes !
This class I actually wake up for everyday! He is such and inspiration and very open minded. He was a bit intimidating at first but as class goes you'll learn to know who he is. Funny keeps class interacting. I learned so much!! He is very helpful
You won't regret it he is awesome
Very difficult for an new english students to do well with him. He seems to never care about his students situations. Very tough on everything and is a definite headache.
If youre sensitive, get over it and get ready to challenge yourself. Ive never had such meaningful lectures. Take his papers (5 total), attendance (a second late gets you a 0 on due dates) and journal work (25% of grade!!) seriously!! It all adds up to your final grade and if you SLACK on these 3 things, youll REGRET IT. READ THE SYLLABUS!
This is the most difficult class i took this semester, but the best learning experience i gained from this class. He comes off a bit harsh in the begining of the semester but he is very friendly and willing to help. Do not miss any classes, they matter. You get 5 papers and you have to hand it in on time, he is really looking to see if you improved
Intimidating at first but extremely kind at the same time. He is hilarious and I look forward to his classes. A lot of work and writing but thats how you become better in this class. He is understanding but also strict. Make sure youre on time, do your homework in advance! His class taught me important things both for school and life.
Yes, he's intimidating but he's HILARIOUS! Tips: write everything in journal, type up the vocab (tape it to journal) and don't fall back on the reading. The reading is what makes it a bit hard IF you fall behind on it. He's really a kind person but show him you have courage and the scariness will pass. He helps a lot during office hrs. He's awesome
This class was very difficult for me but I loved it. If you take life too serious and get offended easily, this professor is not for you. He is intimidating but his lectures are amazing and he makes it all fun. This professor has no filter and will say what is on his mind. One of the best classes Ive had so far.
Youll need a notebook to do multiple assignments each week. Here you have to read multiple essays and answer 1-2 questions about it, prepare a vocabulary and do a free writing talking about your personal experience on a topic he assigns. However, this isnt due until the end of the semester. Hes really funny, you wont get bored in his class!
