Finally a professor who cares about his students. Prof. Torres is dedicated and gives tons of feedback. Love, Love his lectures. I blew the final for partying the night before, but I did okay overall.

Best professor in his dept. 100% Thought I was going to hate this class until his first lecture. Loves to talk about the Supreme Court and the Constitution. No one falls asleep in this class....oh..and don't even think of texting in this class.

Organized, no nonsense, clear about what he expects, and has high standards for every student, and himself. Fed Adm can be boring, but he made it so much fun. To lessen the tension before the midterm, he sang in 4 different languages. HILARIOUS GUY! Loves his violin too!

He write sooo many comments on your papers, but they worked. I became a better writer. He suggested that during my rewrites, have the original next to it and avoid repeating mistakes. It works! Love feedback. that is why we $$ for professors right? I struggle with my English. but all I needed was someone like Prof. T to help me. GRACIAS!

BRILLIANT, ELEGANT,suited up all the time, loves students and we love him. Miranda and 4th amend are his passion. The lectures and discussion were AWESOME. He explains things in a clear way. Lots of work, presentation, papers, midterm, finals, but YOU WILL LEARN!!!

He must be in love! He looks too happy for a 7pm class! He was AWESOME, and he challenged us to the point where some of us started rethinking our ideas about corrections. Gave us the coolest final to pretend to be a parole board and make decisions about real cases. So creative!!! Will be taking every class he teaches!

Truly an awesome professor, the absolute best of the best. Dedicated, care about his students, makes lectures simple and informative. Goes above and beyond. This is the type of professor students need especially for a 7 p.m class after a hard day at work. Grab his class because at the end of the semester you will have learned so much. Awesome

He is one of the best professors I've had so far and I really enjoyed taking his class this semester. Has long as you take notes and listen in his class you will do great. He goes over everything

Don't blow off his final like I did.....

THE BEST HANDS DOWN . HE KNOWS HIS WORK ! TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WOULDNT REGRET IT !!!

If you are in class you will remember everything...he is that good, but you HAVE to study for his final! He is suited up all the time. He once said life is a stage and everybody is watching you...look your best everyday. That stayed with me!

If you know him, you LOVE HIM! ENERGETIC & BRILLIANT, A TRUE SCHOLAR! Very professional, looks sharp ALL THE TIME, and motivates his students through amazing lectures and real life examples. This was by far the most engaging class I have ever had at Hostos, and it was an AM class! I

OUTSTANDING professor with a BIG heart. Gives of himself 100%. Impossible NOT to LOVE HIM!! Corrections is not fun, but his lectures were so engaging. Project based learning for the final to review actual cases pretending to be a Parole Board and make recommendations based on different on theories. Total genius. Will take all his classes.

Yes he is GREAT but don't forget that he is sooooo CUTE TOO! AND YOUR LEARN A LOT....the whole package :)

Excellenct experience in this class. I am a much older student, and I see things differently. He is meant for something greater....but for the time being, enjoy him while he is at Hostos. As an educator, he is GIFTED and he has a presence that is suitable for other mediums.

Excellent professor with GREAT lectures..I looked forward to his class every day. Lots of work, paper, presentation, but he is the BEST I have had so far. He reviews, he makes sure you get it...the rest is up to YOU. Obviously loves students and we LOVE him :)

Excellent Professor who follows accordingly to rules and communicates with every student. Torres is extremely helpful, educated and is very motivated to help others achieve their goals. He provides feedback on all assignments. His assignments are very fun, interesting and a learning experience. I recommend him to everyone.

Amazing professor!

EVERYBODY LOVES HIM! He is sooo amazing, loves criminal law and better yet, he knows it and you when take it with him, you will know it also. I am in both his classes, his lectures are amazing and engaging, loves to talk about current events, Ferguson, Supreme Court, and OH GOD is he funny. and always smells GOOD!

Gives clear and understanding lecture. Wish every teacher could teach like him and most people in today society will be more knowledgeable

If you take notes and study class will be easy. It's interesting stuff and he is not boring.

Phenomenal 100%. He is amazing, the best I have had at Hostos. Evidence is tough, but he shared the experience with us. Told us that greatness resides in all of us, then everybody started studying. I am an older student and I can say that you will no only learn from him, you will LOVE him, he knows how to teach and he hooked all of us!

I am a returning student and this professor could probably be my son, but when enters the room, he runs the show, and he runs it well. He's great, uses slides and tells stories to get his point across. He should teach at a law school, constantly asking "what do you think about that?, LOVES the Supreme Court and took us to court to see real cases!

possibly the best professor in hostos.

GREATEST teacher I have ever had. Walks around the room, gets to know you and breaks it down. Final was fair, but tough. Gives quizzes and repeats areas he plans to test in his review. Teaches crim law through storytelling and penal code. He's sooo sweet, and he cares about his students, but he will make you work, he doesn't play!

HE IS AS GOOD AS HE LOOKS!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

So professor Torres-Rios presents class with Powerpoint presentations. He does not allow the class to take photographs of the material. He is extremely helpful, and his material is very well presented. He also warns the class, if you do not buy the textbook, you will fail his class.

Torres is a great person and a great professor. He is friendly and professional. You need the book to pass his class but he explains a lot of the material in class through PowerPoint slides. Depending on the class, you might need to WORK because of the amount of material. I would definitely take a class with him again.

I ADORE HIM!! I almost dropped out of school but Prof. Torres's class made me stay...(not because of my crush hehe!!) he is that awesome. He cares about us, but he is tough. He is crazy organized with powerpoints expects us to give it our all. He is great at breaking it down, but you have to read and he will tell you that over and over again.

Freaking awesome. .no one should graduate without taking his class. I took 4 classes with him and when it comes to evidence he rocks. Knows stuff from pure memory, sat in the middle room and said ask any question on any case or whatever you want. He must prep like crazy. Made us do a chart, uses slides and music and best of all he is crazy funny

To know him is to love him. Took a group of us to his law school to sit in a class, took us to criminal court to see real cases, and in the classroom he is a master, loves to walk around as he lectures, and knows Sup Ct cases off the top of his head. Took me to my first interview and helped me pick out a suit. some call him Father Torres!

Amazing professor, love his lecture which is done through power point, which is great if you're a visual learner like me. Love the discussion we had in class. Definitely recommend him you will not regret it.

So, what can I possibly say to give my second favorite professor credit for his amazingness? Well, if you do not read, you will not pass. He is attentive to students, he gives reviews before exams and his classes are taught with powerpoint. He is crystal-clear as to what is expected. I recommend everyone take him, he's fabulous!

So you want law, policy, and ethics, take him. Talks about the supreme court, and where the law should be going. LOVE his lectures. Nobody misses his classes. Came in one day with a crazy look after the midterm and said you are all better than this, you owe it to yourself and everyone who fought for you to get an education. And he's fine.

So he actually took a group of us to his law school to sit in an evidence class with his old professor. Amazing that we knew what some of the law students in evidence did not. Then he took us to lunch to celebrate our "first day in law school". Unforgettable guy. who doesn't love him??!! Exam is fair and he's great at breaking it down. awesome

I LOVE HIM!!!! He's intense, anal about using the text, dress code, and the supreme court. Know Miranda, 4th Amendment, Garner, Mapp, and any case he mentions a lot. He's fair if you put the effort, if not he says "do you want front row season tickets for next class!" HILARIOUS!! Final was fair if you studied. Loves his students.

I'm am older student. These young cats want good grades when they don't ever pick up the book. Torres is an amazing professor and even warned us about the chapter to study. He is a fair grader and will give you extra points if you put effort. For those who didn't read, our book was essentials of CJ by L. Siegel. Easy 10 points you losers!!!!

He's HOTT!!! I'm taking all his classes. Oh yes I forgot he's a great professor too !!!! Go to his office hours and you'll get to know him and he is extremely helpful. Clearly loves his job and crazy organized though he lost me when he said he loves reading supreme court cases while he is sunbathing in Puerto Rico

Very straightforward guy. Read and participate. You MUST read in his class. He will ask questions from the chapter. Drops the lowest grades from the quizzes, gives a midterm, and final. He even gives you some extra credit if you are struggling. And he's an amazing lecturer. Loves to tell us that greatness is in us, to set it free.

Amazing class! He loves his job and loves the law, so get ready to debate. Lectures are awesome and the whole class talks. He is so good to students, that is why they follow him. This was my 3rd class with him. sends you slides, reviews for tests, but you have to put in the effort. Exams are fair but tricky.

Awesome professor. He does not shy away from controversy and we talked about some really hard issues but he made the space safe. Made me feel good in his class. Relies on the constitution and where it should be going in his view, always cites cases so pay attention to cases he cites a lot. Midterm okay, final hard, but doable.

I am a returning student and soo glad I took Torres. He inspires you, he cares, he loves his job, soo elegant, professional attire (and he is sooo cute !!), his lecture engages you, walks around the room to talk to students and wants to hear what you have to say. "what you think is important to me" excellent professor. Exam tricky but doable.

He is the best professor I have taken. If i had known, I would of taken classes with him before. He is amazing. He became one of my coolest friends.

He's the MAN! Hands down best professor I ever had! Dont put your name on exams, he grades anonymous. Bring you ID NUMBER. According to him, that how they do it in law school. BUt Don't confuse being nice, he will make you work for it. But his lectures are on point. Reviews for exam, uses current events from media and he will help you.

Unforgettable. sang to us in Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Italian to calm us down before the final. He will help you. Crazy about students. TALK to him after class. Walks around while he lectures, uses slides and music, and knows any case you mention. Don't confuse his kindness. HE will make you work, but he has an amazing heart :)

pro. Torres is a great professor he actually takes the time to break things down for us so we can, not just learn it but also to learn when to apply it. he really has a gift in teaching not like these other professor that don't explain nothing and demand you to read a whole text book. for that ill take an online course. easy class if you study.

I took law150, and I must say this is the best professor that I've had, I would love to take his class again the the future

He's a mixture of law professor, stand up comedian and loyal friend. Go to his office and you'll see what I mean. Wants students to do well. Lectures are great, everyone talks in his class. Took us to court, and to rutgers to meet his favorite professor. Final was doable. Read and pay attention. You'll LOVE him !!!!

Prof. Torres is a young, vibrant, dedicated and inspirational spirit. Class lectures are fun and engaging. Take copious notes and participate. No papers required but know your legal definitions and be prepared to elaborate your points. There are 4 exams (Lowest grade dropped, exceptions: Midterm & Final). We viewed arraignments @the Bronx Courts.

Great professor his class is very interesting. Very helpful and caring. There's never a day we won't laugh in his class. He makes his subject easy by having us go over his class notes. Inspirational professor very respected you won't regret it. Coolest professor In Hostos.

I actually took this class as a College Now course. Professor Torres is an awesome professor. He honestly makes the lectures interesting and he will always have you laughing.

ptof torres is the man! love, love his class. 4 quizzes, midterm and final. pay attention to his stories and slides. He is crazy cool and knows it inside out. likes to hear student opinion and likes to talk about supreme court cases make sure you write them down. test was long but not bad if you study AND he is soooo CUTE!!!

he is a very awesome

One of the best professors at Hostos, took 2 classes with him and definitely learned.. uses real life events and ties them to his lectures. Wished he was giving more classes would not mind taking more classes with him. He is awesome!! 4 quizzes, midterm and final but they are all straight from lectures and notes.

he is the best the time flies in his class I just wish I could have taken more classes with him because he is very informative and like I said time flies during his class.

AMAZING everybody loves this class. for final he used all of our names in his questions. he made us judges and prosecutors, so creative. not to mention he loves to teach and he explains things , and knows it inside out...a lot of material but you'll never want to miss his class.

He's adorable! ! He tells stories from his life to tie it with material. his class rocks and he is always so classy and sooo handsome. this was everybody's favorite class and he knows it and knows how to break it down to us. make sure to know cases he mentions like crawford, trammel, Acker. always citing US sup court red

BEST PROFESSOR EVA!!!!!! he makes fun of NY accents and he sang to us in Russian lol. He is so inspirational and knows how to explain hard concepts in evidence. I LOOOOVE this class!!! HE said hearsay is "bochinche" so better have a good argument to admit it.. A lot of material but pay attention to his stories you'll get it. You have to show up

Oh lord what can i say, professor Torres is unique. Hostos you better keep that man for very long because he is the best and respectful professor that you will never have again. Mister Torres thank you for all

Whenever he says IF I WERE YOU, listen up! His exam was hard, but no surprises. I studied a lot for his exam and I thought I was going to fail his class. He teaches you how to think like a lawyer from both sides. Uses a lot of cases to show legal theories. Know Miranda, Mapp, NY Quarles, Escobedo, Brady, Terry, Burghuis, inside and out.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER

The best Prof. that Hostos have. His classes are inspirational. Is a most to read. He is the type of professor that he wants you to learn the material and he will give you examples to understand each case. He is fun, respectful, professional and he is handsome what most to ask. He will give hints of what is going to be on the test and quizzes.

This class is only difficult if you don't put in the work. He guides you properly through the criteria, gives examples that reflect day to day life here in the Bronx. Down to earth professor that really does his job well. He goes above and beyond to get you to understand the material which then becomes the way you view your everyday life.

Greatest professor I ever had. Had him in 2014, I'm now a 1L. His crim class is on point. Strictly NY penal code, makes you think like a lawyer. Throws curve balls in final. Be ready to write, listen to things he repeats like escobedo, Miranda, katz, terry, Tennessee . REad his writing to get idea of his politics. Loves to cite SCOTUS

Great professor! He makes sure you understand everything clearly and will help you in anything you dont understand. Makes his lectures funny and entertaining. Definitely recommend him

If you want to hear from someone who took his class. This Professor is great. I'm graduating and i wish i took him earlier... Hes down to earth and understanding. Hes teaching is good. I learned alot and i loved it. i got 90's in the exams because i like the class and wanted to do good. if you want to pass and learn life lessons hes the man!!!!!!!

Hes Great! Hes fair,understanding and smart! Hes also hilarious!!his class was great!!!

Very interesting lecture. No surprises on the 2 quizzes. Midterm was fair. He teaches with passion and makes the class fun - pay attention in class, read the cases he gives you for the final and review a lot throughout the semester. I recommend him - Friendly Professor, Nice Human Being, Awesome Class

Hands down best professor in CJ. Rule based class. Hes amazing with his stories. I finally understood hearsay. He used a lot of Socratic amd had the whole class participating. He is really helpful if your struggling. Exams are long but fair. Makes you read cases and asks what you think. Ok if you disagree but be ready to debate.

Listen Students. If you want a clear understanding on Law etc. professor Torres is your go to! Chapters should be read as well as notes. & you should be perfectly fine. Also, very debatable topics, thankfully Im done with this because i was top debater. Lol good luck guys!

Absolutely can't go wrong with Prof Torres. I wish I could take him again. He is very clear and explains everything in a way that you will remember. Make sure you take good notes from his slides and participate. He is such a classy man and it helps that he's attractive lol . I never wanted to leave his class bc it was so much fun. You must take him

First he is FINE �� so I never missed his class lol. He cares about students but he makes u read cases and talks about the Sup Court a lot. He insists on using legal words on exam answers and to use NY penal code. He always tells stories that stick with you because they are mad funny. Slides are great. Be ready to write on his midterm and final

He is top notch. Loved his class. He makes you work but you will learn a lot. He likes 4t and 5th amendment a lot. Read the cases. He wants you to argue your point in class and on tests. He is good for office hours and loves students. Keep your phone OFF he will call you on it!!

My last semester and he rocks. Best professor I had at Hostos. Teaches with funny stories, writes articles and shares and he walks around the room to talk to students and cares about students learning. I want to know what you think he says to us. Study his notes and ask questions you do fine. Always uses court cases from supreme court

Who doesnt love Torres?!! He has a big heart for students. So classy and so funny. He lectures and uses slides, asks for opinions, and he knows Supreme Court and Puerto Rico issues inside and out. Ask me anything you want on any case he said lol. Tough grader on written assignments but hes great for WI if you want to be better at writing.

Young cat whose a lawyer and writes law articles. Have mad respect for him knows con law and puerto Rico issues inside and out talks about Supreme Court cases all the time. He lectures and asks students questions, slides and debates by far best professor at Hostos the class loved him. Read his articles and listen to cases he mentions a lot.

WI class. A lot of writing and reading. Fair grader and exam was long but okay if you read. Great professor to listen to didnt put me to sleep like all other professors here and hes is mad funny

Love him He is phenomenal!!! Read and be ready for a show he likes to tell stories to teach law concepts. my favorite class at Hostos he loves his students. class always packed and it 3 hours goes by mad fast. He asks questions and be ready to debate he likes to argue. Made me feel good about being in school. Study the cases he mentions!

Torres is one of my favorite professors. Hes super caring about his students, and knows how to make a lecture enjoyable! If you ever need a Law/CJ class take him. P.S. Read up on 4th and 5th amendments , read the textbook when he emphasizes on it, and take EXCELLENT notes + use old exams to study for future ones, questions can be tricky on tests.

This professor should do standup. Hes crazy funny and know how to teach with stories. Strict about using legal words. your either prosecutor or defense lawyer on tests. Know 4th 5 and 6 amendment and Wharton rule. Exam is really long but okay if you listen close to his examples.

Im an old student. This class is like a Broadway show. He hears what you have to say, then tells you how it is through cases and stories. If you say crazy thing he plays the violin lol! Speak with a purpose he says! Argue the law or why the law is wrong. Cites cases all the time and constantly refers to constitution as your second bible.

He is an amazing professor - he delivers - his lectures are completely relatable - and he is down to earth - he gives you a Thorough lesson - gives reviews - goes over the chapter- you cant fail - the assignments are Incredibly intellectual- highly recommended profesor!

7pm class that rocks!! Best class at Hostos. Better know your cases and amendments. Learned so much in this class and he makes you feel special. Know the article and amendments. Always says learn to apply not memorize. Makes you use cases and constitution. Always asks whats your argument. Best of all HUGE heart and hilarious!

It was true pleasure taking professor Torress class. Hes truly a remarkable professor that clearly loves his job. His lectures were well thought out and organized. Hes very down to earth. He cares about his students and is always there to advise you so you can meet true academic success. Torres is the best that has happen to Hostos Comm. College

A great professor but hard test you definitely have to be in the class and pay attention to pass the class

This professor is no doubt the best professor out there. I literally looked forward to his daily lectures during the summer session. I brought my daughter and he held her to keep her calm from crying and being fussy. He cares greatly for his community and students. If you do everything he requests in class and take notes you will have an A.

He is the best professor! Participate and show youre willing to learn and you shall pass. He is easy to communicate with!

Professor Torres is one of the best at hostos. He always engages with his students about the topics and tells stories to help better understand the topic. Make sure to study though, he likes his law language on his exams. Solid Professor!

Great professor! have to read to pass yor test use great examples in class, have to use legal language in class and test .

Hes like the best teacher Ive ever had! Hes so good a teaching! Patient! Helpful with everything! Someone you can come to for help and advice!! Amazing person over all!! Plus his teaching method literally gives you an easy A!! Trust me you want him as your professor!!! Loved his class!!

I had Prof. Torres twice. In LEG 101, not as much work, but LAW 150 is a lot of work. He assigns a lot of cases and will take points off for not using legal words. You better know Miranda, 4th Amendment, the Debour Case for police cases, and use the standards he goes over. There is alot of vocabulary. His lecture are great, you'll learn a lot

He is clear

This Professor I had the pleasure of having him twice in my Hostos career. When I had personal issues and had to drop all my classes not once, but twice he went out of his way to make sure I wouldn't drop his class He gave me extra time to complete his course and gave me an INC so it wont effect. He also spoke highly of me to his colleagues. TY.

Best online class during COVID. He gives a lot of outlines for lectures and quizzes. Always available if you email him and easy to follow ! He calls students if they are having trouble and he cares

Professor Nelson Torres-Rios is an excellent professor. His writing assignments helped me learn the subject material and the tests were straightforward. He genuinely cares for his students. For instance, I have a disability and he was very supportive of my needs. He was encouraging in all of his communications and helped us find ways to succeed.

Prof Torres is by far the best Prof@Hostos, the lectures are great, interesting and very clear! He is accesible @ all times. He gives feedback and provides slides to help understand the material. Its an interesting and easy course if you read & are interested in criminal and constitutional laws. He is great and passionate about his work! Take him!

This man changed my life he helped me by doing me a big favor everybody this is a good man take his class

By far, the best online class I've ever taken. He is straightforward, on point with his grading criteria and his assignments lead you to critically think and understand the material.

Professor Nelson is amazing. At the time I was pregnant almost giving birth and working he was very understanding and caring. I took two winter classes with him Law and CJ I don't like reading but he makes the assignments question so interesting that you automatically are going to read. He send a review for the test that was very helpful. Take him

Very essay he is good professor

great.

Took him for Winter on a e-permit and I must say that he is a great instructor. He will give you good feedback on your assignments and let you know what should be improved and is able to condense information in only a few lectures. If taking him for winter or summer, be warned that it may be more difficult as class will go by fast.

Awesome online class during summer 2022! I took Law 150 and CJ 150. He is clear, super nice and gives a lot of helpful materials and feedback. He gives you a chance to improve if you show effor. You can text him he will explain anytime you reach out which I loved because I am a working mother with 3 kids.

An amazing Professor! Professor Torres-Rios will work with you, you are expected to read lectures thoroughly and answer. If you are having any trouble, he is accessible and will work with you. Just do the work and you will be fine! I have taken three of his classes, he is highly recommended and a lawyer. Take his classes, you will learn so much.

Professor Rios is an awesome professor! I had three classes with him and he is very easy going but expects you to do the work. He will work with you and is very straight forward and inspirational. You will learn a lot and can always ask questions. He is the best and he is highly recommended!

One of the best professors, cool stories and always making sure you understand.

He's funny and outgoing. Understands his students very well.

Professor Rios is an engaging instructor who covers the material in depth. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of the readings and assignments. I found Unstuck AI really helpful for practice questions alongside the textbook. Overall, a solid class that will teach you a lot.

Professor Torres-Rios is a great and straightforward instructor. He gives helpful feedback and really cares about his students. The class was online, and while he doesn't reply to emails, he responds quickly to texts. I'm graduating, but if I wasn't, I'd take him again in a heartbeat!

I took LEG102 in the summer and Professor Torres-Rios is a great and straightforward instructor. He gives helpful feedback and really cares about his students. The class was online, and while he doesn't reply to emails, he responds quickly to texts. I'm graduating, but if I wasn't, I'd take him again in a heartbeat!

If you are interested in Immigration Law take this class!

Great class and great professor.

Another great class.

Proffesor Torres was one of the best Proffesor I had so far. He is super understanding when voicing concerns he is not dismissive he hears you out.

If you fail his class, it's because YOU were the problem. This professor offers assistance 24/7 and gives you great advice for your future. Course work is simple but a lot of course work to remember as we go through the ENTIRE textbook! But if you are a Criminal Justice major, stick with him! Only 3 Assignments! And they help you for the exams!

genuinely one of my favorite classes thus far and the best professor I have had since attending college. He has a sense of humor and get through lectures fast. Everything is well explained! Everything you need to know he teaches thoroughly and any questions we had he always had an answer for it.i cant wait to have him again for the spring semester.
