He's the best! and as long as u study, there's no way u can't ace in his class.
Really good professors and just follow him and you will get As
They are few prof's who genuinly love there students. He devotes alot of time to make sure you learn in the most profesional way possible. He was my inspiration and he give me advice as I continue at Brookly College..I recommend him for Harvard
You'll get A's in his class. The only problem is that he tells alot of stories, but it is worth it. You'll get A's even if you'r not in class. I did so can you.
Will tell you many stories. Will also make everything he teaches extra clear. I also think he is hot.
ONE OF MY BEST TEACHERS EVER!!!
great professor
great professor. very respectful towards students.
hE IS THE BEST PROF. I'VE EVER HAD.
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR. YOU REALLY LEARN SOMETHING. HE IS FUNNY. TAKE HIM HE IS THE BEST.
the best of the best.he never leave any stone unturned.
makes it too easy in my opinion he repeats stuff a million times so everyone gets it.But its an easy A so I guess I shouldnt be complaining.
Best professor in kingsborough. Gives u everything u need for midterms and the final. Can't go wrong picking him as ur Eco Professor
Easy A Professor and really funny. One time i was sleeping in the back of the class and he started teaching right next to me, haha. Great guy =p
he is the best professor.he explains everything clearly.
No Comments
Guys, he was easy before but not now. He is cool, makes u laugh but his EXAM makes u CRY. U need to study very hard inorder to get an A. Please don't take professor Magdangal class.
i wish every other proffesor was like him, he is the best of the bests...God bless him
Excellent prof. He gives you the notes that you need for the tests. (no need to read the book).He gives good tests reviews. Makes the class very interesting and fun to attend.
Truly the best professor in the place. His approach and course teachings prepare you for life. The nicest guy in the world. He cares about students as people. Most of all, you actually learn and enjoy doing so.
He is a really good professor. His tests are really easy, and its all on the material from class notes. A very easy A (He was telling people that got like a B or C on thier test they could still get an A)
He is the best of the best.
Great class and extremely memorable, met my future wife during my first semester in his money & banking class. She was sitting right next to me in room M336. oh, Did i mention that he's a great professor, save your benjamin and spend it on those delicious wraps cause the textbook is unecessary.
Really good teacher and uses the board.
He is really cool. His class dicussions are interesting and he is a easy grader
I love Prof. Consolo!!!! He gave A+!!!Thank you, Professor for making class so interesting!!!Merry Christmas!!!!
He is the gretest professor i ever had. you don't need to buy a book in his class because everything in the test comes from the notes.
He also teach BA11.His classes are so easy. He's a very nice and helpful professor. You don't even have to buy the book because he's notes are the only thing that you need to pass his test + final.Also, you need to take good notes and sometimes do homework which based on definition of terms which again, u don't need the book to do it.
He is very nice and helpful.You should take his class.He is the BEST!
He is one of the best professors CUNY has to offer. He understands the students because he started as one. He enjoys knowing that his students come away with more then they had before taking his class. His class is as easy as you make it, if you don't study it's just as hard as any other.
He writes everything down on the board. You really don't need to buy the book because he goes over everything that's in the book that you need on the exam. But sometimes he'll tell you to bring it in and do hw. His very nice but he talks alot & he always talks about Brooklyn where he was born & raise here. He should be a history Prof :-)
he is a very learnable professor.if you really want to learn something you should take him.if you listen him there is no way you can get a low grade
Nice Professor, Talks clearly, He goes over the hw, He make sure whether we did the hws right or not then he will go over it. Comprehensive professor. He's great..
HE IS A REAL EFFECTIVE TEACHER. HE GIVES NOTES AND HIS REVIEWS ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL,PLUS HE WORKS AT THE STUDENTS' PACE AND HE IS VERY FUNNY AND NICE. I ENJOYED HIS CLASS EVEN THO IM NOT TOO INTO ECONOMICS HE MADE IT INTERESTING
recommend to take him
He is the best teacher in the business department, unlike all the professors he actually gives a damn about us, If you fail his tests now youre the one whos an idiot. He is an effective teacher
excellent professor. good explanations, good notes, fair tests. take him, if u can. u will enjoy this class
to put it straight up: he hands you an A on a silver platter. Write down the notes he puts on the board, if you don't understand ask. He'll explain it clearly. It's good to also put some of your own notes, for your own interpretation, but it isn't necessary. Have fun in his class.
In a nutshell, "HE IS MATCHLESS" his class is very easy, explains concepts clearly and great sense of humor. I agree that he is the best in the business department. You'll never regret taking Prof. Consolo
This guy is the man. He is a professor that is funny and keeps you interested. He is very knowledgable about the course and keeps you very interested. It's easy to retain the information he teaches because of the way he presents it. His tests are staright from the notes. You dont need to buy the book. Take this professor. You wont regret it.
Greatest prof ever! He is very knowledgable about what he teaches, not only that but he tells the best stories, and knows a lot about almost anything. Sometimes I think he could teach history also. Gives great notes, don't even need the text. tests straight from notes, very easy! my fav prof at kbcc. def take him, I just got an A for winter module.
Oh, boy! Why aren't all the professors like him?!!! He is just great. Definitely take him!
He is one of the best prof. in college. You actually enjoy coming to class and you understand everything! Wish him its very easy class and you defenetly don't need the book, he just gives homework once in a blue moon and that's it , eveything you need to know is in the notes that he gives! GREAT PROFFESOR!
I took his eco 12 and eco 14 .He is the easiest prof. Take the notes well he gives and study for the exam , u ll do just fine. He does review for the exams but students don t really need it. His notes are very clear and helpful... higly recomended . He is great person too..
He is my favorite teacher. Not only he can teach in a proper way, he also has a great personality. It is a big pleasure to be in his class. Best professor ever!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW WHERE DO I EVEN START? I AM IN LOVE WITH PROFESSOR CONSOLO!!!!! He has the best teaching techniques and cares very deeply for his students. he has a GREAT personality and its a pleasure just being around him. He is always willing to help and YOU WILL LEARN ALOT IN HIS COURSE!!!!
one of the best teachers ever!! i wish he taught more classes then eco12 and 14 cus i would take him in every single class!!! makes class interestign and you actually enjoy learning. if more teachers were like this everyone would enjoy going to school like i did!
3x a week a Comedy hour and you learn something too on examples from life.
He is great, I recommend him to anyone who wants to get in education in economics. He can make you laugh with his life stories, but he def. get the job done. Love him and will be taking him for eco24
No Comments
eco 12 and 14 was alright. he says eco 13 is harder than both. is that true???
I wish I had registered to more of his classes- I didnt take him until my last semester at kbcc.I will miss a teacher of his quality. True he can go off topic, he still covers all chapters fully AND gives a great review before tests.
Who is posting such comments about "comedy" and "boring life stories"? Other professors?! Because ANY of Consolo's students wouldnt write that!! TRUST ME!! But if they are from students.. dont blame your incompetence and boredom on him bc he is the ONLY good thing kingsborough offers. Yes, even better than the bathroom soap!!
Great Professor !!! i enjoy the class very much and i learn soo much from this guy. wow i wish all the professors were like this guy..
Simply the Best for Economics period.
just started taking him, so far he is a good teacher, gives good notes and is funny at times.
people say he is the best but he picks on indians all the tim, in class i feel really discriminated in his class. i dont like him but there is no other option. i think he cheats my grade bucz he states he determines it.
I am in my last semester in kcc and prof consolo is my favorite teacher yet took him for 12 and now 13. He truly cares about each student and is funny with his stories he dictates notes and tests come straight outta them! on top of all that he can tell you the best glat kosher place to eat in bklyn lol take him!!
HE IS THE BEST... DONT THINK.. JUST TAKE HIS CLASS.. I ASSURE U THAT U WILL GET AN EASY A...
He is THE BEST Professor that I have met. Just take his note and listen to him in class and u will be fine.
The best economics teacher period. I took him for 12 and 14 and I didn't realize just how fun the class was until I transferred to four year school and took some boring Indian guy who barely speaks English.
he is the best professor to take for eco 12 he give notes so u dont really have to use the text that much i though i was gonna fail but after the semester ended i passed n his exam are multiple choice.just ALOT of notes
I LOVE Prof. Consolo.He is the best I have ever come across at KBCC.He give notes, and his exams comes straight out of his notes and are very straight forward.He is funny and every session with him,he has a funny story to tell. To anyone who plans on taking ECO 12 or 14, PLEASE, take Consolo and Not the DRAGON LADY...everyone knows who that is.
He is just amazing to say the least. He gives new life to the subject, and inspires his students to do so much more.
BEST TEACHER IN THIS COLLEGE! Class notes is +, write it down. Listen his brilliant lecture. Funny guy and boy be prepared for his jokes to make fun of the class. Test is easy, just study the damn notes.
Class notes is +, write it down. Listen his brilliant lecture. Funny guy and boy be prepared for his jokes to make fun of the class. Test is easy, just study the damn notes.
Best Business teacher in the school! He makes good use of the board, writing a lot of notes, which is very helpful and seems to have become a lost art among other professors.
The best professor in the world.
Great fair professor. As long as you study his note, you be fine.
Was very good at keeping my attention and kept me interested in the topic. If you study just a little bit, his tests will be very easy.
great professor. lectures his notes loud and clear and constantly repeats. goes over all material for the tests. just study what he says and it's an easy A. do not be absent or u will fall behind. be respfectful towards him and he will be to u
Great professor. He's organized, understandable, patient, and teaches very effectively.
Best prof @ KBCC, very smart clear and understanding. If u go to class, take notes and listen you should have no problem getting an A, Tests are straight from the notes. Awesome teacher
BEST PROF EVER!!!... i have never had a prof like him..truly the best..i understood everything he teached me..i didnt even buy the book and got A's on his test not just because they were easy but because i understood everything...i probably remember everything in his class ...i wish all professor taught the way he did.. u shud get this prof..
Excellent professor, very clear and cohesive. Makes sure all the students do well. Textbooks are not really needed, as he gives you all the notes on the test. He grades fairly, and his tests arent to hard but can be a bit tricky. Highly recommend.
THIS WAS THE BEST CLASS I TOOK SO FAR. HE KEPT MY ATTENTION, AND NO OTHER TEACHER HAS TAUGHT THEIR MATERIAL AS GOOD, THOROUGHLY, AND NOT TO MENTION LOUDDDDLY AS HIM. ONCE YOU COME TO CLASS REGULARLY, KEEP UP ON NOTES, AND STAY ALERT..YOU WILL BE FINE ON TESTS. HIGHLYYYYY RECOMMENDED!
He is a one of my great Professors i ever had.I learned everything in class room.I did not need to read text book.I just read his notes and listened to him and I got A+.He is a Excellent,greatest Professor.
he is the best!very nice guy, know the topic well,easy hw(not mandatory) SUPER easy A. just go to class and listen to him(he will make sure things stick on your head) copy down the notes. look at the notes once before exam and you will have an A
Consolo is the all time best, gonna have him a 3rd time. FUN FUN class, you learn a lot not only about economics but about many other things. He is very clear, interesting and entertaining. Very funny guy, def take him you will not regret it and you will have a lot of laughs and a very high grade. One of KCC's best professors ever, no doubt about i
AMAZING. Loud, clear, understanding, amazing. Know's his material. LOVED HIM. There's nothing but positive things I could say about this professor.
Professor is very brilliant.Knows what he is talking about.Very interesting lectures and makes u really understand the curriculum.Will help u with anything u don't understand.He is very easy and strongly recommended for his courses.Says funny stories sometimes too to keep u awake. Overall, his class is very cool & easy.
very cool and fun professor. Knows his stuff and is very funny. recommended!! one of the best teachers in KBCC.
Great professor ! Exceeded my expectations.
nice guy and very easy. writes notes on the board and gives away answers on his midterm and final
GREAT PROFESSOR!!! He is funny and teaches really well. He gives great exam reviews!!! If you have pay attention and have great attendance, you will get and A!!!
Prof. Consolo is very helpful. His tests are easy. He explains everything very well. He writes on the board a lot, and gives good notes. No need to read the book
He knows everything! I ve never seen professor who gives so many useful information! His classes were very interesting even I was taking it at 8aa I always was listening what he says! I loved money&banking because of him. Write down his notes, dont miss the class, and u will get a good grade. Awesome professor! Respect!
One of the most knowledgeable and precise professors I have ever seen. Professor consolo Never needs a book to teach the lesson, he knows economics like the back of his hands. His jokes are genuine and you can tell he cares about students. He is not hard on attendance, just score high on all the exams and you will get an easy A. 2 thumbs up .
Amazing teacher, explains everything tests are very easy writes all the notes interesting. If your looking to take economics id deffinatly recommend
he is the greatest professor I have ever had in my college years. I really enjoyed his class. very clear very easy.He is unbelievably funny. I took him spring 2013 and I had to comeback and rate him here because I miss him a lot!!!!!! HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!
I Love Consolo sooooo much. I had him for Eco 13 in the Spring of 2014. When I tell you that I passed Eco 12 because of him, I'm not lying. & when I found out he was my Summer 2014 Eco 14 professor, it made coming to my summer classes way better. He's funny & an all around nice guy. He tells these amazing stories and you never want class to end :)
I really wish I should have taken Eco12 with him. I learned a lot. And have fun in his class.
He knows the material of Economics and presents it to the students very clearly. He does get off topic sometimes to make a joke and then when he does, he talks about it for awhile. He gives reviews for the exams and cares. His exams are fairly easy and you could probably get an A on the exams just off reading class notes alone.
I dreaded taking Macroeconomics. I heard it was very hard. Mr. Consolo put an end to those thoughts. He explains everything clearly. You have to read the book. His notes are great clear cut. Attendance matters. He gives you three exams and a final. Everything that is taught in class is on the exam. There are no surprises.
I don't like him because he keeps no promise!!!! not prompt at all!!!!
He's funny. But too much funny. Can spend whole class talking about music or actor or something else far from ECO. it was really great and interesting from the beginning, but annoying in the end. And you still cannot use your phone and have to listen. But about eco, he explain everything very good. Great notes. Tests aren't straight foward, but ok.
He's literally the best, I've taken him for Macro and Money and Banking and I've gotten A+ for both. He makes it too clear for you not to remember. I hope to see him in another class :)
Consolo is a really great teacher, its just that his lectures are super boring. But he repeats himself and repeats subjects so its clear. Be prepared to take a lot of notes. He also tests you on exactly what he teaches. Tends to get off topic at times. Tests are easy if you are in class. He also gives test reviews directly from the test b4 the test
I took this professor for the summer he is a great professor he knows his stuff and is willing to help you. He Is concern is that you understand the material so that you can get a good job and be ready for the real world. I recommend this professor for Eco 14.
Amazing professor!!! His lectures are interesting. Tests are easy. I enjoyed this class.
Be on time. Keep your cell phone out of site.
Easy repetitious class. Great for weak students who want an easy a
there are no surprises in this class. if he says something will be on the exam it is. if he says he is skipping a topic he won't put it on the tests. answers questions and encourages class participation. knows every students name and takes attendance always within the first five minutes.
Just study his giving notes, you'll get A easily.
Make sure you do well on the exams because your average is your grade yet he welcomes participation, he is always prepared to teach and yes he really knows everyones name by the second day. Its a great way to start off your day. took his 8am class and really enjoyed it. Very fair teacher. If he writes something on the blackboard , know it well
He has the class involved in discussions all the time that are related to the topic. found his info very relevent and it was given over in a clear manner. All of his classes are full every day. very low absent rate, so he is doing something right since we all enjoyed coming to learn!!!
I can't say enough good things about Consolo. He was my Eco 13 and 14 professor and he made learning so much fun. He cares so much about his students and he wants them to pass. I got an A- in both classes because of how much he reviews before each test. I seriously haven't had such an amazing professor in my entire college experience.
Really nice class. He always takes attendance so be on time!
Attendance means class notes, get to know all notes and work on your exams, you will receive what you deserve.
Easiest "A" you will ever get. Best Economics Prof in KBCC. You get whatever you worked for. Professor Consolo gives 3 exams(All multiple choice). 2 test and a final. He doesn't grade you on anything else. He has reviews for every test. Attendance is not mandatory. Take his notes and read them before the exams and you will pass.
HE DOES NOT TEACH WELL half the time he goes off topic and he spends very little time reviewing for tests.
Professor Consolo is hillarious. He is always full of energy which makes you smile. His lectures are very easy. He explains everything. Very easy A and very interesting Lectures
he goes off topic sometimes
His lectures are always very thorough and clear. The grade is composed of two tests and a final with minimal homework. Slightly repetitive, but is super helpful for students with lackluster attendance. He's always very respectful towards students although the discussion would sometimes go off topic. They're enjoyable conversations though.
He's a great professor. If you don't wanna study crazy just take him. Ho loves telling stories and sometimes off topic when he sees the whole class is so tired and bored.
He's simply the best!
Hilarious! I loved his class
Professor Consolo is knowledgeable and ensures that you learn the material. If this is not your favorite subject just remember to go over his notes every day and you will be fine. Be sure to participate, he notices- DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE IN HIS CLASS (Don't even try to be sneaky about it).
He is a legitimately good teacher and hilarious as well. His class can be difficult if you aren't on top of your game but nothing scary. He is a great guy and cares for all his students.
consolo is my one of the favorite proffesor , he is hilarious and so caring . study his notes and you will get A.
He is a really GREAT professor, nice, caring and hilarious. Kinda goes off topic at times, but he only does that to keep you interested.. Got a B-
most easiest professor in kbcc , caring ,loving ,inspirational
I've had Professor Consolo twice now and he's always treated his students fairly, even generously. I'll admit I was a bad student, but he always treated me with respect and never lashed out. I respect him for it, and I'm glad I took his class.
Very clear in the way he teaches & really makes sure everyone understands what's going on
Humurorous, charismatic, and you will learn a wealth of information from this professor. Not only will you learn so much about economics, but youll learn about everything else, as well as life! Very professional and respectful toward students, and be really wants everyone to succeed. I recommend this professor to anyone and everyone!
This professor is honestly one of the most understanding professors Iv ever had. He is very sweet and kind. He makes learning fun and enjoyable. He also has a good sense of humor. I personally had a lot of abcenses and scored low on tests but still passsed the class with a decent grade. Very easy going professor and imformative.
Prof. Consolo is amazing professor. I would love to be in his class again. He loves using textbook but gives notes, what makes studying easier.
You will learn about geography, politics and history in his class. Oh yeah and some economics as well. Funny, repetitive, loud professor and super easy class. He will ask you the simplest general things during the lecture. Impossible to fail.
Hes very nice professor, he explains everything well and goes over it multiple times. His lectures are funny and full of information.
Loved every second of his class, and was lucky to have the chance to take him for three of my economics classes. Now that I graduated kingsborough I realized how much of a privilege it is to have professors like him, definitely the best business professor here!
For anyone who is a business major, take prof consolo. His knowledge on business will help you understand what youre majoring in. He explains all the different kinds of jobs you can do with a business degree and writes all the notes down on the board with good lectures. (P.S. if you get a B+ in total in his class, he will raise it to an A-
Very easy class. Just follow his notes and you will be fine. The atmosphere in class is warmly arranged by Professor's lifestory and experience.
Great professor.
Professor Consolo is a very caring guy. His exams are based on the notes he writes on the board. Just study his notes and this class is an easy A
He is awesome!!! Nicest and easiest professor! He makes sure everyone understands before moving on, constantly reviewing what he taught previously. He will often get sidetracked but we had interesting and fun conversations. He gave 2 tests and the final, all multiple choice. No homework. Will raise your grade for effort.
Professor Consolo is such a sweetheart! He is so positive, kind and caring. Please don't take his kindness for weakness. Do not use your cellphone in class!!! Study his notes, show up ON TIME, show some respect and you'll get a good grade. No homework, no extra credit opportunity, 2 tests and 1 final.
He's awesome! Lectures are funny and full of random facts about Brooklyn and whatever else is on his mind. He gets very sidetracked but we had interesting discussions. He is very repetitive and loves to review the material over and over again. There's no homework, tests were easy (2 tests + final), he might drop the lowest grade.
Easy class, and Hes very funny guy.
He is the best professor at KBCC! TAKE HIM! He is super easy, lectures are not heavy, his review is very clear. Listen to him, take notes and you will be fine. He cares so much about students and can help you anytime. Enjoyed this class so much!You will learn a lot!
This is my second semester with Professor Consolo. He is so kind and caring professor! Always ready to help you. There were three exams and three quizzes throughout the semester. Do the homework and discussion board it will help you earn extra points to improve your score. Study his notes, it will help a lot on tests. Take him. Definitely the best!
The class was taken during the fall semester during covid. There was not a lot of work. For each chapter you needed to read, watch the videos he posted and do the assignment which all of them gives you an extra 10 points in the class, they are very easy. There are 3 quizzes and 3 test including the final. Each quiz is worth 10% and test 20%.
A teacher who cares about his students, who really helps. One of the best teachers ever!!!
This is my second time having Professor Consolo and I absolutely love him.His grading criteria is 3 quizzes that is 30%, 3 test is 60%, discussions 10%and if you do all 10 hws you get extra 10%.So the max you can receive is 110%. He always give reminders with announcements everyday.Try to make a group chat with your classmates it will help a lot !!
You do have to buy an online textbook which kind of stinks, but I took Prof. Consolo for ECO 12 and 13 and his assignments and tests are super straightforward. Do the homework and the readings and you will excel. I got an A+ in both classes just by doing that.
Consolo values clarity and challenges his students to excel; I found that the final exam was more challenging than the previous quizzes and tests. The quiz and test style remained consistent throughout the course, the final exam required a higher level of understanding and preparation. Students should be aware of this and prepare accordingly."
Professor Josep Consolo best teacher ever !!!!
He is a good instructor for online class. One thing that I didn't like that if you go beyond the material he posted, just because you know something more you not getting anything for it. You have to follow exactly by material and do not say less or more. Otherwise you not getting full credit. I like to develop my ideas, but had to fit in 1 sentence
Very enjoyable course and the only great professor worthy of teaching Microeconomics in the whole CUNY system. You may find spacing mistakes in his notes, but you can manually fix a lot of that like me while reading everything, where I kept copy-pasting in my documents to edit. Put in the work and your learning and knowledge will earn you an A+.
He sent many notifications which really helped to keep up with the class.
Professor Consolo makes the course engaging and straightforward. Assignments are manageable, and he's happy to clarify concepts. Unstuck ai was a great supplemental tool for mastering the material. Overall, a rewarding class with a caring, accessible professor.
he is a good professor
Professor Consolo is Awesome! Best of the Best! Highly Recommend.
He might ask you questions in class after his lecture, which was at first not easy, however, it was really helpful, especially for the assignments and the tests. The tests were so easy. If you go to his class regularly and chat with him in class, he will appreciate your effort and get a good grade for sure. I have so much respect for him.
Great professor, she definitely loves her job
