HE'S THE BEST! Literally if you do the assignments he gives every few weeks and do the paper at the end of the class you will pass with a good grade. He grades very quickly as well as sends email reminders of when assignments are due so you wont miss them. TAKE HIM HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Comment:

Professor Altano is probably the easiest grader I've had at Bergen. Although I tend to be a good writer, there were 2 papers I wrote in 20 minutes that I got A's on. As long as you participate in the discussions as well as hand in every paper, it's an easy A. He also gives you a ton of extra credit opportunities. I would strongly recommend him

Altano's a great writing professor. He really helps you and encourages you. I took his class last fall and passed the exit test the first time. You do write a lot, but he corrects every word. He also writes books and stories all the time.

Comment:

I took him online over the summer a few years ago, he failed me. I was late with a few assignments, he closed the final before it was due to prevent me from accessing it. I tried to complain to the college. No luck. I'm writing this from work, (yes I went on to a University and graduated.) I was compelled to write this review and warn others.

I have never had a professor like Brian Altano. He loves his job! He is funny, but he also teaches you so much about writing skills. I was afraid of writing before I took his class. Now I have much more confidence, and all because of him.
