The best professor I've ever had!!! Love him!!!
The best professor in the world helpful caring interesting. a good friend.
Smart together professor who really cares. Brings lots of real life experiences into the class lecture. Takes students to France and England during the Christmas to give a great International Criminal Justice Systems class. A-1!
very helpful and understanding, may seem strange at first but is a very cool person
He's the man. He has helped me more than any other professor at NCC. He doesnt teach strictly by book. He lets you experience the crj system. He could also beat klein in a fight too haha :-)
Best Prof. I've ever had funny,helpful,and understanding. how can it get any better than Hodge
Professor Hodge is the best teacher in Nassau Community college. He should be in charge of the criminal justice department. If you are taking criminal justice make sure you get Hodge as many times as possible.
Hodge is the man! He's the best teacher at Nassau!
he is the most helpful teacher i've ever had and he is one of the teacher that has made a difference in my life. thanks professor Hodge
I have had hodge like 5 times now and everytime its been an amazing class. I highly recomend him to anyone looking for a caring professor that creates a fun atmosphere to learn in. he is definitly not your normal teacher, and i dont mean that negativly
Great class, fun, very helpful, nice guy!
A very weird guy. He's a Bull S--- Artist, but I passed. So I'm happy
HODGE IS THE MAN, TAKE ALL HIS CLASSES!
hodge is the coolest teacher
Weird guy but an easy teacher, if you can stand listening to him all class.
I have had Hodge for many classes he cares about his students. I wish he taught all classes in the department
hodge,your awsome,klein your horrible!!!!!
Hodege is the greatest one out there. Very smart intellectual. If you are kind to him he will give you everthing his teaching abilty has to offer
Professor Robert L. Hodge is the man...the best teacher and club advisor!
THE BEST, HE IS THHE ABSOLUTE BEST IN THAT WHOLE DAMN COLLEGE. YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!!!!
Selfish and arrogant, in that he has no respect for his students. what this means is, unless HE has somewhere to be after class, he will hold you for an extra ten minutes daily, not caring or realizing that students may have other classes or commitments
evidently he doesn't understand why students take classes in the summer, he bables about his life for half the class, wasting your time and money. Take other professors who care about the students, not how much homework they need to assign.
Hodge is a great teacher. He gets off subject a lot, but he understands that and won't test you on stuff he "should have mentioned but never did" like other professors. He gets my vote!
The best in the department!!!! Great character-caring. smart man.
i loveee him. hes an awesome teacher and he has a personal relationship with every student which is fabulous.. i highly reccommend him to all
GREAT TEACHER. WE ALL LOVE HIM.
greatest teacher ever
BEST TEACHER EVERRRRR!!!! I LOVE HIMMM!!!! HES SO UNDERSTANDING AND WILL HELP YOU NO MATTER WHAT ... HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM I GOT AN A IN HIS CLASS WITHOUT DOING MUCH WORK!!
Great teacher, very caring, but a horrbile advisor!
help him help you and you will succeed.!
hes the best teacher ive had at ncc. hes so nice and is just a great kinda hearted person. i would recommend everyone to take...
Hodge rocks funny dude if you can take his criminal justice classes TAKE THEM
Really nice guy. Material was a little unclear though. His tests catch you way the hell offgaurd.
No Comments
different ethics about teaching, but cool and funny!!!you'll have no problem in his class.
hodge is an idiot and if you think he is a good prof. you shouldnot be in college..$80 in books we didnt use 1 in class..a whole semester shot and we didnt learn a thing..if you want to learn anything dont take him..if you take one of his classes you took them all ..there all the same
great professor. yes it's true you waste your money on books that are not needed, but also this semester we had to buy a brand new book so you can't blame the guy for trying to teach. he helps you out when you need it. and you get extra credit for the most ridiculous things. so defintly do the extra
No Comments
his is best in this VERY small dept! he cares, takes time and really listens w/out the bs others give u. Best in dept , lots of experence, as he says , helps. Rock on Hodge!
hodge is the worst prof. in the dept. if you take his course don't expect to learn anything he sucks!!!!!!
hodge is the****
I NEED BRIEFS, ONE FUNNY ASS TEACHER, LOVED THE HAT
Great professor. Very funny and helpful. Took the whole class on a trip upstate to Albany. I'll never forget that. The material is not easy to learn, thats why you better focus. The H/W is a pain in the rear. Books are very exp. Still overall a very helpful man. I even gave him a ride to the airport once..so im pretty sure i was on his good side
Amazing teacher. He's very connected to his students and has a lot of experience in the Criminal Justice area. Best teacher in NCC
Great professor.....had him back in early 90's........
He so cool! very friendly, smart, personable! one of the best prof. I've had at NCC
No Comments
Hodge is a real good guy. He means well and he cares about his students. I took like 7 classes with him while attending NCC. His classes are easy and the work is minimal and hes very fare. Take his classes.
He iz da illest teacher to bless the ncc teaching staff
Love his opinon on the death penalty. He tells it exactly as it is and lays everything on the table.
hes and awesome teacher and a great friend... he helped so much with every and anything...
Hodge is a great teacher. He is really laid back, and funny. He makes boring stuff fun to learn. He is so smart and keeps his students up ro date on current events. i am making sure i have him as a professor next semester
I had Professor Hodge for a few classes and the thing that always remained the same was how no matter what he taught he could make you interested in learning it. He is a true professional and always offering others help when they need it. He knows what he is talking about so if you are taking criminal justice classes take Hodge
AMAZINGGGGGG TEACHER!! definetly a recommended teacher, easy A, always keeps you interested in what he has to say. Makes you print out "Briefs" that are 50 pgs. long but learned a lot. Very funny, always late to class, is more your friend then your teacher! You'll absolutley love him!
prof hodge is the best. he is an amazing teacher full of knowledge. he is a metor and well as an inspiration to me. thank you professor recommend him to everyone.
tons of work bfut in the long run definitly worth it...this guy is probably the best teacher i will ever have. i recomend taking as many of his classes as possible.
Yea Professor Hodge it's Mr. Bluetooth just rated you, you shouldn't be disappointed with the result.
he is great
Hodge is one of the best professors ive ever had doesnt always stay on topic but is very knowledgeable and just a great guy
where do i start about profhodge. a decent amount of homework but a very loose schedule for the class, drops lowest test score and recommends you see a pyschic. hodge is a great teacher, if you are going to take his class remember to ask him about all the different ways to get "ec's". a great story teller, hodge is one of the best teachers at NCC!!
Excellent teacher who makes you work to understand. Takes his students to Paris & London during Winterim: This is CRJ 218. Call him to register: 572-9645 He teaches you how to brief cases in CRJ 226. #1!
Hodge is the best professor i have yet to have. I passed his class with flying colors. If you pay attention there's little need to do anything else. But don't waste your money on the textbook he doesn't use it.
This guy is a joke; he sends in his own reviews. He's not an attorney, but he smiles alot. Look elsewhere for a real professor...
dont listen to the ONE negative rating...prof. hodge is a great professor with a great personaility. He doesn't only lecture like the rest of the criminal justice department...definitely take any of his classes if you can...
Run away from this guy if you want to learn something. If you do not care and just want an easy A, then take him. He is a joke, he has his on curriculum that has NOTHING TO DO with crj and give extracredits for nothing. A total waste of money and time.
Just read everyone else's comments and thats what I think of him. Hodge is the MAN end of story, you will have fun if you take his class
WELL I MADE IT THROUGH YOUR CLASS WITHOUT YOU KILLING ME!!! I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME... I HOPE THAT WE REMAIN FRIENDS FOREVER... RESPECTFULLY YOURS, MR. DOUBLE INTENT CRIME ;-)
Love him to death. Pretty easy. Expect to learn much more then class material. Recommend.
hodge is the man!!!
he s a great prof.
Hey Hodge.... I like your class it the easiest class. I like your class because you make it fun with your comments, with having communication with the students. You have a sense of humor with every student, you try to communicate with every students and it's so cool how you do it. You have the potential to make a student be awake in a morning class
Hi, my name is Sebastien M. Denard. I am one of Prof. Hodge's students. He is a great teacher, he's funny, easygoing, and very helpful. what i like most about him is that he tries to get his students involved in a lot of activities that deal with criminal Justice. i would refer other students to him.
What's up Professor Hodge? It's your Treasurer posting(Fall '07 semester)...I have to say that Hodge is a great Professor, and I would take his class again. He tells us lots of great information, that nobody else says, he's a smart man.
HODGE IS THE BEST PROF. IN THE CRJ DEPT. MAN KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND IS UNDERSTANDING. TESTS ARE EASY. TAKE GOOD NOTES AND PAY ATTENTION.
hodge is the man and the class is fun and fairly easy
I gotta say Professor Hodge is one of the best teachers I've had. He makes our CRJ class fun and interesting..He seems to care about his students and although I'm not a CRJ major I would still recommend to take Prof. Hodge's class =)
professor hodge is so fly...best. crj teacher. ever!
hes cool!
great professor
just take his class!
This was one of the BEST experiences of my life. I have never been away from home before. CRJ218 was a valuable growing and educational experience for me. It was also fun, and even the assignments were fun! I am grateful to Prof Hodge for all of the effort and hard work he put into this trip.Alex S.
Although i had the worst luck on the trip...ever. I had a wonderful time. It is a great experience and you learn a lot about yourself and from living with different people you dont know. But you get to explore and have a great time.
Hot Prof who is the best! Makes studying law exciting! Will teach you how to brief cases, and show you his legal briefs after you do yours. Ask him about studying in England next year!
Good teacher, knows alot... just dont get your articles from FOX News!
At first i didnt know what to think about him but as the semester ended i found him to be a really good professor. he knows alot of material and is well skilled, good personality and he sometimes lets class out a little early... overall i enjoyed the class
SUPERB
Best class ever. everyone taking CRJ at nassau has got to go on this trip. youll have a blast and learn a little bit. Prof. Hodge is the man.
It was an awesome trip. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the British and French CRJ Systems.
I can not even begin to explain how amazing it was being a part of Professor Hodge's CRJ 218 class! He was extremely helpful, caring, and knew his material very well! I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a wonderful study abroad experience with a wonderful professor! Hodge Rocks!!! and he's super hottt***
real funny guy. take him if you want an easy A. can get boring at times. Dont take him if you expect to learn something
HE IS FUNNY AND A EASY GRADER. THE REVIEW SHEETS ARE THE TEST AND HE ENTERTAINS YOU THE WHOLE CLASS. HE DOESN'T TEACH A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF BUT IT WAS STILL A GREAT CLASS AND A GOOD EXPERIENCE. BE AWARE: HE ARRESTS YOU THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS.
Excellent Professor: Makes Criminal Justice info clear.Writes great letters of recommendation. Ask him about his CRJ 218 Study Abroad Course in France and England during the Christmas break!
He is funny, and easy grader.he arrestes you the first day of class. He likes to talk about personallife, loves to talk about his dog. He will write letters of recommendation to who ever needs it.....
Great professor you learn but in a fun and active way. My favorite professor ive had so far. I suggest him for anybody.
The best professor hands down
LOVE THIS GUY! Absolutely amazing, not a single bad thing to say! I take every CRJ class i possibly can with him... And when I don't have class with him I drop in to see him every chance I get, what a sweet man! Class is never boring and I loved attending! Definitely take him, you wont regret it!
Great guy. his class is the one class i actually look forward too
Hodge rocks a mean cowboy hat i'll tell ya that much
Nothing bad about this teacher. All you have to do is pay attention, study at least 2 hours, and always come to class on time. It's never boring always something to talk or joke about in the beginning of class. After Road Call it's time to get down to business. A must take teacher for any class.
Best teacher in crj. Real funny and smart. Take him!!!!! He is the man.
Hodge Is the Man! He's Funny as all hell and hes one hell of a teacher. Take Him hes GREAT!!!
GREATEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD. TAKE ALL THIS CLASSES, YOU'LL GAIN MORE THAN JUST THE USUAL COURSE OUTLINE. HES FULL OF INFORMATION. ALWAYS KEEPING YOU INTERESTED AND GETTING YOU INTO NEW THINGS. HES HILARIOUS! AND THAT COWBOY HAT WILL STICK WITH YOU.
The best Prof. at nassau!
this man is awesome very interesting makes class enjoyable not a hard grader very funny ull have a great time in his class
He's funny and likes to talk about current events. Hands out review sheets before tests.
Professor Hodge, is BY FAR the best professor I've had at NCC. He is awesome!! I learned a lot from him. The hw that's assigned isnt hard at all, it's definitions, piece of cake. He's really cool about attendance. Tests are so easy, they're right off the review sheets he gives. I got an A in the class and would definitely recommend him to anyone.
one word: amazing. + he rocks a mean cowboy hat
Funny as hell!! great teacher easy A!
Professor Hodge is by far one of the best professors at NCC. He's kind, helpful, compassionate, easy going and has a great sense of humor..seriously one of the best. I would definitely recommend taking one of his classes.
Hodge is the man!! Rocks one hell of a Cowboy hat. Best professor of all time. Hilarious!!! If i could take him for every class i would. Had him 3 semester straight, and each one gets better. EASY A!
Professor Hodge is the best teacher I have met in NCC. He is hilarious and intelligent. All the information we go over is clearly explained. What we need to know for tests is not hidden at all. Do not pass Professor Hodge for other teachers.
We don't really use the textbook only to write down key terms. His reviews are pretty much the test so make sure you study them. He doesn't really go over anything else in class. I got an A in his class which I'm happy about. I just wish he taught more about the class, then talk about random stories.
Awesome professor his test line up a little weird but great professor fun to talk to fun class recommend to anyone must take one of his classes absolutely love him
Best teacher at nassau community college for sure..overall amazing professor
Amazing funny easy totally kept my interest I learned alot from him
i'm actually in the class right now doing this & i love his class. im doing pretty good in his class. sometime im lost but i get everything when testing comes. hes a great teacher even though he lines us up out side but whatever as long as i dont fail im happy. plus his a easy teacher if you do what you have to
BEST professor. He gets my name wrong a lot but the class laughs... he doesn't like germs!! def my fav course so far. TAKE HIM. such a good class.
Funny Guy And Great teacher
very nice guy, makes you want to learn the work. has very odd examples but funny. i would take him again. highly recommended
awesome teacher makes fun but its all in jest makes fun of the pens i have but he made sure i knew it was in jest and i take no offense best teacher ever i look forward to going to class
Professor Hodge is the greatest professor ever!!!!! He is very clear on all assignments, and you learn so much in the course. he also has many different opportunities that can open doors for students looking to pursue criminal justice. I reccomend him 100%
Great professor! Hodge sets a friendly atmosphere for learning where everyone participates and has fun. Take every class with him you can!
Best teacher very interesting and funny
professor hodge is the best man in the whole nassau community college. he is effiecient on his students,and also his great way of teaching helps all his students. i like his cowboy hat his appearance tells it all. he is a true gentleman. he deserves a lot of respect. if i could ever be helpful to him it would be my honor.he deserves an award.
This professor is "THE BEST"
Great teacher and very clear to understand. I would take another class with him anytime!!!!
Great proffesor very understanding, very fun class, he is always trying to make everyone get good grades and helps everyone achieve their goals, lots of opportunities for extra credit! Over all he is great
Silliest professor ever!! although the first day of class does the weirdest thing ever, but besides that very funny and helpful, gives chances for extra credit if behind and for this course he only gave out 3 tests and a midterm which is almost the same as the 3rd test, it was a joy to be in his class! If you can take his class do so!!
Best professor at NCC.
BEST TEACHER IN ALL OF NCC!!! I love this guy he is one of the most funniest people i've ever met. I would definitely take another class with him. He gives barely any work, but this is a class worth taking. Love him!
Professor hodge is a great professor. He is very interesting, reasonable, and understanding. You couldn't ask for a better professor :)
Professor Hodge is the best teacher ever! There is always an oppurtunity to get EC's(extra credits) so, there is no way you can fail! He rarely uses the textbook and rarely get homework. His quizzes are easy if you study plus he gives reviews.
Transferring from UVM to NCC. Just my luck Professor Robert L. Hodge Jr was my first class of my day. Now let me tell you Professor hodge is by far the most intellectually unbelievably spectacular person I have ever met. Immediately I changed to my major to Criminal Justice and registered for all his courses. His class experience is enthralling!!!!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!
Good guy
Overall one of the top professors I had at NCC. If you listen and pay attention in class you will do well and learn.
Best teacher ever! Not even a criminal justice major anymore, but I'll still take his classes. Hurry up and take him while you can, before he retires.
Hodge is a great professor. He gets side tracked very easily. The class was very easy he gives a lot of different chances to earn extra credit points. Almost impossible to fail this class. As long as you listen and take notes you'll be fine.
I enjoyed my time in this class very much. He gave a work load that was manageable and make it so that everyone had a chance to get a great final grade in the class. Opportunities for extra credit are available as well.
Hodge is probably one of the best professors at Nassau. He teaches in a way that helps you remember everything. His lectures will never bore you plus he has ties in with many police officers that will help if you are looking for a career in criminal justice. I would take his class in a heartbeat
Professor Hodge was amazing. Hilarious guy and gives you so many chances for extra credit so theres no way you'll fail. I looked forward to his classes, it's an easy A and worth taking it with him. He helps you understand the material and always has great stories. I would take his class if i was you, and hurry up because he is retiring soon!
Professor Hodge is a really good teacher hes funny and if you apply yourself A's will be received.
Professor Hodge is my favorite professor at NCC. He is hilarious. His classes are half work and half stories about his life. He is smart, professional, witty and well spoken. I am now rearranging my whole schedule so I can take him again next semester! :)
One of the most wise people at Nassau, he'll teach you more about having integrity than anything else
Professor Hodge is one of the best teachers at NCC. the class is easy and he barley gives tests or homework. Plus he gives many opportunities to get extra credit. I am currently taking him and we haven't had a test yet and it's halfway through the semester. Take him while you can he's funny and a great professor
Professor hodge is the best professor ever
Professor Hodge provides amazing lectures! A wealth of knowledge that most professors can only dream of attaining as a matter of fact things Hodge forgot most of these TBA professors will never learn in two life times. You want a Professor who is truthful? Someone to teach you about all aspects of the System? Only the Smart choose Hodge. Be Smart!
MUST TAKE! Great Man
Take this guy for an A. Do not sign up for the NY times, use the free online option. Do not miss tests and reviews. Do sit in the first two rows. Always volunteer to be the key master, don't talk during roll call. This is College, do the work early and get a good grade or fail, your call. Hodge makes the stress of College some what bearable. -AB
I have taken several of his classes in CRJ. It was nice having him while it lasted. U want an A take him. He is very reasonable. His exams are not hard at all (don't buy textbook), he provides you with study sheets. U study that & you'll be fine. He barely gives homework. He is a sweet & funny guy. There is no way you can fail this class.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Makes the class interesting and fun. Tests are pretty easy. Such a sweet and funny guy.
Professor Robert Hodge Jr. has been the MOST inspiring Professors I've had thus far! Not only is he smart and intelligent he teaches you about life in general and raises awareness to reality! Take his class if you can, he's BRILLIANT and has a great sense of humor! Make sure you have a Fountain Pen :)
Not sure how he has a 4.5. Spends most of class talking about random stories. Didn't really learn much. He's an easy A if that's all you want.
He's a great guy overall with tons of experience in the Criminal Justice field but as a Professor, he wasn't very professional. He is usually late or cancels class without emailing so you get up and go for nothing. Also, we hardly studied anything the entire semester besides one chart and two chapters in the textbook but that's it.
Professor Hodge is the best criminal justice professor ever. His class is extremely easy. His exams are easier. Just study the worksheets he gives out. You'll definitely pass with an A. I had him three times already. Got A's every single time. He's very caring as well. Talk to him and give him a heads up whenever you need some help.
His classes at first seem as if they will be interesting and that you'll learn something but that's not a likely outcome. His lectures are dry and constantly goes off topic. Off topic meaning you're not discussing or listening to anything that will benefit you learning. Very strange and not in a charming way. Seems nice but def. not genuine.
Easy A minimal work
Hodge's class is what I looked forward to the most out of all my other classes. Hodge knows how to teach a classroom and makes his lectures fun, exciting and hilarious.
Easy A
He is a good professor and this class is definitely a GPA booster. He talks about many current events which is interesting to hear. Easy A, good professor.
WARNING! Do not take him you will regret it.
Not wonderful. You dont really learn anything in his class. Im sure he was once a great prof but not anymore. All you have to do to pass is show up and do well on his quizzes which consist of the information on the few handouts he gives. He also cancels class a lot without a warning or email.
Rest In Peace Professor Hodge! The heart of the Criminal Justice Department at Nassau he truly looked out for every single student who took his class because he wanted us all to succeed in the field.
Professor Robert Hodge was passionate about teaching, loved to help and was genuine about it. He was an honorable man, an exceptional Professor and very fair in class as well as out!
I rated him on here before. He went on a search of who wrote the honest review. After he found out I wrote it at the start of class he had everyone stand outside except for me, and closed the door. As a young female I felt extremely uncomfortable and felt intimidated. He was so unprofessional for doing this and till this day I haven't forgotten.
