Knows the topics very well. Very patient & helpful, explains everything and makes sure you understand. Really istens to his students. Highly recommend this professor. I would take another of his classes.
very very good professor, makes class fun and easy going,breaks down what hes teaching so you actually understand. i higley recommend this teacher!
He is a wonderful professor he cares about the students and puts a lot of effort into the lectures. Powerpoints are available on-line so if you miss a class you can catch up. Tests are on the topics and he takes one class before the exam for the review,which is wonderful. short daily assignments are required but this is all to help you get an A! :)
Great professor, explains everything loud and clear, and if u didn't understand he would repeat it for you. Also very helpful and cool and not boring like others.
super excellent!!!
An amazing professor who cares a great deal about his students. His lectures are crystal clear and he encourages people to speak up if they do not understand. He is very friendly and always comes to class prepared. His tests are very fair, just study and you will be fine.
This teacher is awesome. He makes the subject interesting. He is extremely helpful and understanding. If your taking psych, take Verdino, you'll thank me later.
He is an awesome professor. Very helpfull, his class is so much fun. You will love it. He aslo gives 10 points extra credit with every test. Always tells what will be on the test, I am telling you he is great. You can see for yourself.
Great proffessor his tesst are fair and he teaches very well! you must take him...
My friend and i both took this professor in the Spring semester. He is amazing teacher and is very fair. He makes learning enjoyable. There are two tests and a final but they cover everything we learned in class and read in our book. Just be sure to take good notes and you will do fine.
Great Prof, took Dev Psych this summer,makes learning fun, explains everything clearly, calmly, and relates it to everyday life. You will love his class. I highly recommend him!! I definately would take another of his classses.
I LOVE this Professor!very interesting, uses power point, his tests are multiple choice and he gives an easy extra credit worth 10 points which he lets you know what it is in advance, gives reviews before tests. If you study it will be easy and you will get an A. To boost up grades, gives easy hw ("AOs"). Overall awesome teacher deffinatly recommen
Well he is a good teacher. He may also seem really cool with you until you get ur final grade back. I was shocked with my final grade because I did well on all my tests but he grades harsh. He teachers well, and he is a good guy, but dont expect the grade you want if you have a small mis-step on a test. His final grade left me disapointed in him
LOVE!! Verdino hes soo cool,and he helps you a lot, hes very understanding and hes always a email a way. The test and fairly easy because he goes over it with you. I Highly recommend him
really good teacher! had him for two phsych classes... def recommended!
GREAT PROFESSOR! easy, straight forward tests as long as you study, you will pass. he does not try and trick you at all. overall one of my favorite professors in the college.
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! PERIOD! HELPFUL IN EVERY WAY. CLASS IS FUN! CLASS IS AUSOME WITH HIM.
He's awesome! Best professor Iv'e ever met.Helpful and understanding, makes class interesting and full of fun,students eager to participate.Uses Power Point,gives notes,goes over Review Sheet prior to test.Make sure you review your notes because you will find a few questions on the test that he didn't review. Gives extra credit.Do your AO's.
amazing teacher. interesting to listen to. do the ao and listen in class, the test will be a breeze.
Very good professor. Clear outline and everything was easily and thoroughly explained. Exams were not difficult at all
Best professor I ever had. I had him for 3psy classes his classes are fun and interesting. Everybody participates in class. As long as you take notes and study for his test you will do good. I would deff recommend him. He is very understanding and will go out of his way to help you!!
Awesome professor.... Gives extra credits on exams which he tells u what's it on his review sheet for exams pretty straightforward you can't fail... Makes class MADD fun and interesting.. He's the best professor....
Awesome professor... Makes class Extremely fun and interesting.. All notes are on blackboard...
awesome professor... really good
Amazing! Take him!
This course was a pleasure to take. Initially was fearfully. fter all, it's psychology, but I found Professor Verdino to be extremely helpful and kind. Let us know exactly what to expect. Never pulled any tricks. Went faithfully by his syllabus,so you were able to do the reading in advance. Encouraged free discussion. Valued each student's input.
If you want to demystify psychology, take Professor Verdino. He makes the material so clear and understandable. Psychology is a scary subject, but he makes it so much less so. Very affable, kind and sincerely wants his students to do well. I highly recommend him, especially for first time psych students. Couldn't get a better intro.
The best teacher ever!love him!!!
This professor is the best teacher I have ever had if you come to his classes and pay attenttion and study from teh book you will get an A+ in his class for those that miss class alot his class would be good to take he is willing to work with you as long as you show that you try but either way he teaches psychology very well
VERY EASY PROFESSOR 3 EXAMS WHICH FOLLOW 3 QUIZZES WHICH SHOULD PREP YOU THOROUGHLY. EXAMS CANNOT BE MADE UP HOWEVER QUIZZES CAN
Great teacher. Straight forward, no tricks. Nice guy & funny too. Fair exams, easy take home quizzes, review sheets, tells u exactly what will be on tests- incl extra credit. Easy A+ if u do the work. Only prob is that he tells u that things r going to be on blackboard and it doesn't happen for days- except for grades- they r posted quickly.
He is the best, funny professor who can explain date very good, give you examples on everything and make you remember all the information only by listen to him.
Best part of his class was, not just I earned an A, BUT at same time I actually learned about life span development with applying to real life. He made it relatable to everyday world and class was fun, enriched with learning environment and easy exams with review sheets given before all exams. 3 exams with extra credit, and review sheet.TakehimforA
HE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS I HAVE TAKEN. He makes the class interesting. He has a sense of humor and is very, very helpful. He gives out a review sheet and tells you exactly what will be on the test. He speaks loud and clear. He is a fair professor. There are no essays unless you miss a test. I highly recommend this professor !!!!!!!
He's probably one of the easiest professors i've ever taken. He makes class very enjoyable and explains everything in a way you can understand. he gives 3 tests and take home quizzes which are fairly simple if you go to class and take notes. Overall i love him and his class, i recommend him if you want to actually learn something.
BEST TEACHER EVERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE HIS CLASS AND SEE FOR YOURSELF
Best professor ever. He makes class interesting and fun. His tests are fair and easy. He gives extra credit prior to tests, and he has a sense of humor which makes the lectures fun to listen to.
amazing professor! He has a great sense of humor and engages with the whole class. I truly enjoyed the class thanks to him. His work and grades are very fair. Loved his class!
He was VERY HELPFUL and CLEAR He made it easier for us & put all of the work on blackboard, made us study sheets and we did the work from there on. His lectures were understandable & if you ever have a problem with understanding he will break it down for you. He doesn't give much homework he expects us to do the readings and talk about it in class.
awesome the best professor i have ever had
TAKE this class u wont regret it he gives the best notes. if you fail this class u either never went or ur just plain lazy and crazy. his homework took 10 mins his test were multiple choice only and his notes were so good u didn't even have to study because he engraves it into ur brain.
Awesome class and awesome professor! Will definitely take again!
Verdino is a great professor and goes above and beyond to help his students. You MUST take him if need psychology. He is an easy A if you put the work in.
Verdino is one of my favorites at KCC! His notes are super thorough and straight forward. You shouldn't need the textbook. Exams are fair and there are weekly assignments based on lecture notes. He's the reason I decided to be a Psych major! His personality is great and he knows what he's talking about. Take him!!
AMAZING TEACHER! I TRY TO TAKE HIM FOR ANY CLASS THAT I NEED THAT HE TEACHES. SO CLEAR! ALMOST EVERYTHING WILL BE IN HIS LECTURES. FRIENDLY AND FUNNY. HIS SLIDES EXPLAIN A LOT AND HE IS VERY FAIR WITH HIS GRADING. TAKE HIM!
ok i have verdino for intro to psych and hes honestly an amazing professor. He gives you notes that are pretty much everything you need to get over a 90 on the tests. he really likes participation! his class is really interesting and his class is my favorite college class so far. you will learn a lot! barely homework also
Amazing! Helpful! Very clear! Polite! Fair! Understandable! Lectures are interesting! I wouldnt skip any of his classes! Definitely will take again! Easy grader! My favorite class
Awesome but requires to do some work
Amazing professor. His lectures are great, the notes that he gives cover pretty much everything, but you will need the textbook for certain chapters. He barely gave any homework. He wants his students to participate in his lectures so don't sit quietly in the back for the entire semester. Totally gonna take his PSY36 class.
Great professor, amazing guy. He doesn't post slides on bb, but instead makes you copy the slide down by hand. Tedious, but it helps you remember the information. Gives extra credit for each exam. Some chapters are left out of power points, but I recommend just reading them in the library and saving your money. Take him! You won't regret it.
This professor is great. One of the best professors I've had, if not the best. Very clear with lectures and notes via the smart board. You get a chance to get 10 points of extra credit per test, including the final. Highly recommend this professor.
It is rare that i rate my professors, unless I highly recommend them or like them. He is one of the greatest professors i have ever had. He is kind, funny, interesting, and his class is thorough and easy! I aced his class, and i am taking his next level psych class in the spring. Professor Verdino even made me want to change my major to psych!
He's one of the most down to earth professors at kbcc. Incredibly smart and very clear in his powerpoints. Doesn't put slides on blackboard but gives plenty of time to write it down. make sure to take notes because his test are based on it. i recommend him over any other psych professor.
All I can say is that Professor Verdino is by far one of the best psychology professor KBCC has. His lectures are amazing! Very clear in explaining topic, always there to explain what you don't understand, very funny and passionate about his teaching. Tests are multiple choice with an extra credit question. I highly recommend him.
Took his class last winter. Best psych professor ever! He gives us time to copy down his notes before he starts explaining. Extra credits(real easy) for every exam. Clear with his lecture.
One of the best teachers in kbcc. Very funny and makes Psy interesting. His notes are super easy . He doesn't post bb but gives you enough time to copy them down.
The best professor. Not hard, but you have to be prepared for the exams.
He is a great professor.
Joesph Verdino is one my favorite Psychology Professor in KBCC. He's very friendly with students, and always their to help them out with anything. I took him in the winter for PSY1100 and now for PSY3200. If you do your work, and follow his instruction for the test. You'll get what you wanted. His power points are clear and understandable.
He is way too easy. I would very complain though, I needed the A nice guy.
He is an absolutely phenomenal professor!
Professor Verdino is one of the best! He's just all around awesome!
Really down to Earth professor. He doesn't try to trick you on tests, in fact he helps you out a lot if you pay attention! His class was not boring at all, he's super friendly and easy going. He knows what he is talking about. I didn't purchase a text book but his notes and guides worked! Would take again if I needed to! Great interesting class!

This professor knows his material, well organized. Always looked forward for this class, it was never boring.
Great Professor! He lectures from PPT slides and always add personal stories to the subject matter which makes the class interesting. We learned a lot about abnormal behaviors' and stereotyping that accompanies certain disorders. He gives 2 Tests and a Final. There are extra credit works and two assignments which are easy. Never felt bored.

If you have any question he is always more than happy to assist you with an answer. He makes every lecture enjoyable and he is pretty funny. Loved every moment!
We owe to write about this extraordinary professor Joseph Verdino. I said that because he explain the PSYCHOLOGY in easy way. He will give you examples from your real life, which are helpful for our live as well. Even me, as emigrant I have problem with English and for English speaker PSYCHOLOGY is difficult but not with PROF. Joseph Verdino.
The best psychology professor in kingsborough
THE BEST PROFESSOR FOR WHOLE MY STUDENTs YEAR!!! You will feel like you on psychology workshop with the most known psychologist in US:) tests was easy, very clear study guide. Text book and slides are very interesting. You not learning a like a school subject but just how to live!
I would definitely take his class again ! He makes you feel welcomed & breaks down every lecture in the most simplistic way so everyone understands . He is well respected.
He really does care about his students!! His tests are very direct and on point and his power points are amazing honestly an easy A as long as you pay attention and study. Best psychology professor in Kingsborough ive had. He will make you understand and love psych.
Mr. Verdino will answer all of your questions. Will give some pop quizzes. His tests are easy if you take down his notes which is super easy. No projects or homework. Do not skip because you will miss out on a lot of his notes. You can't take a picture of his notes so you have to be there. Listen to what he says and you'll get an easy A.
Excellent professor who truly engages and will assist his students
Such an amazing professor. The best psychology professor In kingsborough he truly helps his students understand his lectures and his extremely hilarious ! Easy A as long as you study and go to class
He is hands down the best psych professor ever and I have had a few. You def have to study for his tests but whatever is on his test he tells you exactly what to study for EXACTLY!(like giving candy to a baby if baby studies)
He is amazing. He is nice and funny but also gets through the material. If you put in the work its an easy pass. Hes also very understanding and flexible to situations, just talk to him and you'll be cool.
Professor V's class is the best PSY I've ever taken at KBCC. What he teaches is exactly what is on the test. He makes sure that you have all the information you need in order to pass the exam and class. Extra credit comes from the exams so pay attention to that. Honestly if you fail it really is on you.
Great professor!
This is the best professor ever
the best professor ever... very nice and his tests are pretty easy.... you should take him.....
Best psychology professor ever. No homework or projects. Amazing lectures, they are easy to understand. He will always help you. You have to be there because he uses powerpoint and you can't take pictures. Will answer any question you have. Everything you write from class is on the tests so they're easy. You'll get an easy A if you take his class.
Professor Verdino is one of the best lectures every, hes amazing. Do your reading pay attention in class and do the extra credit and you on your way to an A. I really recommend that you take his class.

Ive been in kingsborough for a long time and he was by far the best professor Ive ever had. He cares about his students and is very very helpful and nice. Would love to take him again. He is so interesting and when he teaches he makes it so easy to understand. He will help if you need it.
Great professor.
great professor and gives extra credit on the exams. But no extra extra credit so make sure you pass his exams and youre good.
AMAZING!!!!!!
very generous with the extra credit on exams. the lectures are the key to you passing so you have to understand the lectures in order to pass. we had a project to do. we had to do slides, pick a topic(mine was dissociate identity disorder) and he gave e a 97. take himmmmmmm
He is the best phycology perffesor out there. He gives three test all multiple choice with extra credit that is worth an extra ten points. Each test was 20% of your grade. He also gave four short writing assignments in class and you got to say your own opinion worth 20% of your grade. Class participation was also worth 20%. Take him !!!
The best psych professor in Kingsborough
One of the BEST professor in college! Take him immediately, you will not regret for sure!!!
This professor Is truly amazing. I enjoyed learning about he had to offer. I would take this class again just because I was able to understand the material.
Professor Verdino is Great! Class participation is important in his class, he gives extra credit. No homework and easy exams. As long as you show up to class and listen you will pass. No cell phone or headphone use in class during lectures. Be prepared to write a lot because you will not be allowed to take pictures of notes. Otherwise amazing!!!
The professor is very good, intelligent, knowing his subject. His class was very interesting and rich, but the tests themselves were very difficult for me personally. Evaluates student work fairly, but never overstates. Does not give extra loans. It is very attentive to students and always answers questions on time.
Professor Verdino, is pretty much easy. He gives you an outline of everything to pass his class. As long as you participate and study what is given on the study guide you cant fail.
Prof Verdino had an amazing online format. Since no one asked for school to be online, prof verdino did an excellent job at making it accessible and easily understood for everyone. I really enjoyed how it was asynchronous. Because of this, I was able to balance school and work.
AMAZING PROF. JUST TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE YOU WON'T REGRET IT :)
He is just a great professor, the class was absolutely stress-free, all exams are fully based on lectures, easy assignments, detailed syllabus, interesting material and NO discussion boards, which was a huge plus for me. I loved every second of the class and would take him again and again.
Professor Verdino is such a great professor. The class was easy and really interesting to take unlike other PSY classes I have taken. He gives feedback which kept me motivated. All of the documents and syllabus were simple and straightforward.
Online class. Super clear syllabus. Audio lectures were interesting and covered only what you needed to know. Material is a bit heavy-ish, but presented in a way that is not at all overwhelming.
This was an asynchronous online winter session. Very straightforward with 3 short assignments, 3 exams. Very stress free class and teaching style is simple.
Excellent professor! The syllabus is very clear and there are no surprises. 3 easy tests (all multiple choice), 3 assignments where you just had to reflect on a topic related to class - nothing complicated. His study guides save so much time because they tell you exactly what will be on the test. Took this asynchronous - winter session. Super easy!
If you have the opportunity to take his class, do not hesitate. His syllabus is very straightforward and outlines everything you need to know to do well in his class. He provides a study guide before each exam that tells you exactly what to study. He is very relatable and makes learning fun and interesting. He is fair and encourages questions.
Best Professor everrr. if you not sure whether you should take this class or not. Please register ASAP. One of the besttt Professor I had in KBCC. You will learn a lot, his classes is very interesting
Professor Verdino is an amazing professor and is very knowledgeable in his work. The Professor cares about his students and their thoughts on the topics. The syllabus shows everything that's needed to be completed in order to get a good grade in the class. He makes sure to respond to all emails or concerns, if any, outside of class hours.
He explains lectures very clearly. One of the best teachers!
Professor Verdino is an amazing person, he cares about each students thought on the topic. he is very generous, gives extra credit and wants to students to succeed his class. Best professor ever> Merry Christmas, Thank you! professor J.Verdino love you>>
This was a very entertaining class and I love his teaching methods! From the beginning, he was clear about the assignments we'd have throughout the semester and the grading criteria. You do have to take notes because he doesn't post the PowerPoint (unless called for). The tests are pretty straightforward and he gives study guides.
I don't think I have ever taken such an easy class before! The professor is literally amazing and his assignments were very fun to do, as I relate a lot to the homework assignments. The tests are easy, and he will give you a study guide. His course is very organized and he always responds to emails. Overall he is such a great professor!
It was an online asynchronous class. Organized and caring professor!
He might seem a little intimidating at first bc of the syllabus -- doesn't post Powerpoints online so you HAVE to take notes, doesn't accept late work -- but it's really not that bad. He's a really good lecturer and he's much friendlier than I was expecting lol. One big project, a few small assignments, and the tests. Very manageable workload.
His online lecture is very organized and he uploads every once a week but the assignments are easy. He also gives more hours on tests for only 20 questions. His grading system is very understandable to read. Yes, he does grade fast and he also answers emails quickly. One of the best online professors.
One of the best professors I've had! His lectures were so good I have them saved! You will learn a lot of valuable information in this course. I enjoyed all of the assignment, they were interesting. I would highly recommend his course!
I really enjoyed Abnormal Psychology with Professor Verdino! Our class was online, he posted powerpoints and lectures that were straightforward and easy to comprehend. There's not a lot of homework and his tests were pretty easy if you paid attention to weekly lectures and the study guide. Wish I had an opportunity to take one of his classes again!
He is the best professor, I would so retake this class.
1 discussion a week, 3 exams and a final. be aware of deadlines because he does not remind you of them. 10/10 professor.
Professor Verdino is an amazing instructor who really cares about students' success. The class is well-structured with clear expectations. Use resources like unstuck AI alongside the free textbook to ace the easy tests and assignments. Highly recommend this stress-free course!
Professor Verdino is the most exceptional instructor I have encountered throughout my academic journey. He excels in every aspect of teaching. His course materials are detailed, and I would eagerly enroll in his class again if given the opportunity, despite having just completed my last session with him. I am grateful for his constructive feedback.
I had Prof Verdino for PSY3600. I struggled a lot this semester with mental health, and he made taking this course so much easier. He was easy to communicate with in & he only gives 3 case study assignments, a PowerPoint & 3 tests. All of them are pretty much a reflection of the weekly slides. I would love to have him as a professor again.
His lectures are very informative and interesting. Would definitely take his class again!
Great professor, I enjoyed this class. Would definitely recommend to anyone to take this class with professor Verdino.
I really enjoyed professor Verdino Class, he provides all the equipment for you to learn his course. I do wish we got more assignments since it was online but overall his course is about real life events that a lot of people can relate and take with them in the long run.
There is weekly folders, on the pages you should read about different mental disorders. there are also slides that have the info from the readings if you arent able to read that week. there are also 3 case studies youll have to do. you also have todo a powerpoint based on a mental disorder. Overall great class and professor.
