Reviews of professor Jose Torres

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you want an easy A and are interested in econ, take his class. I took him for both eco101 & 105 and his classes are very interesting. He only assigns a couple of discussion boards, 2 essays and 2 exams which are all easy. He makes econ intriguing and easy to understand. Turn in work on time to ensure a 90-100 grade. I can't recommend him enough!

Professor Torres was a great teacher. I had no problems in his class, he was very laid back and made economics fun. He only had the midterm and final as the two tests for my class. Make sure you participate in class even for the smallest thing and ask questions if you don't understand. Really enjoyed this class, when I thought I would dread it!

Take him! He is an asset to RCSJ. His lectures may be long, but he makes sure you understand the material by working the problems from the back of the textbook. He displays a lot of knowledge during the weekly "current events" discussion and welcomes input and participation from students.

Great person who really cares about students but not my favorite as a professor. Only about 6 assignments, midterm, & final. Assignments are very intensive (multiple 4-5 page papers) but he is not a tough grader and will help if you don't understand something. Dismisses class early ALOT. Midterm & Final online at home.

One of my favorite professors at John Jay. He cared about students and gave us real-life advice on our careers. He is very knowledgeable about economics and explained it to us with real-life examples.

Hes probably the best professor Ive ever had. He has a lot of energy so it keeps you engaged in the class. He can tell once the Lecture gets boring so hell switch it up and give us exercises to work on. Hes really great at answering all questions throughly and he gives a lot of good advice as to how to advance your school and work careers.

He does not care about you as a student at all, He says "Email me if you have any issues" I email him and he tells me to figure the things out myself. when clearly I tried to do so and failed. He thinks you're stupid if you start reaching out for help. Just an overall a horrible teacher I would not recommend.

Great professor!The fact that he's in his early twenties allows him to relate to students. Sometimes his lectures are overwhelming because he wants to spread all of his knowledge in a short time. He not only understands abstract economic concepts but he also understands real world economics and finance. Professor Torres is a genius and a great guy.
