Comment:

overall the course itself is not that difficult, and the professor is very nice and informative. professor goes at an acceptable pace with the students. just pay attention to his lectures and read the book and youll pass, all his exams were 40 questions or less using scantron. No formal study reviews but opens the class to any questions you have

Comment:

Professor Lateano is one of the most intelligent professors in the CJ department. He knows SO much about criminal law and has the gift of explaining it so that you know exactly what he's talking about. He truly cares about his students and wants them to do well, however you have to read each chapter and put in the time. Outstanding professor!

Tests are very tricky. Does not give a study guide nor does he give any other homework assignments/papers which really hurts your grade if you are not a good test taker

Comment:

Best professor at Kean. Although I only earned a B+ in this class, I learned a lot. He answers EVERY AND ANY question you may have and challenges you in order to become more educated in CJ. One of the nicest people you'll ever come across and reviews and covers all material that will be on the exams. Just don't ever be on your phone, he HATES that.

Comment:

By far the best teacher I have ever had. He is an extremely nice person who knows what he is talking about. He will answer every single question that you have to the best of his ability. If he believes something might be difficult for the class to understand, he uses everyday examples to explain what he means. The book is extremely helpful as well.

I am taking him this summer, and I need to say that I love the way he teaches. Even though I was so sick I was willing to go to his class every morning.I have to admit that this is the first class that when left the classroom I felt that I learned something.Dr Lateano is a gift to Kean university...

You have to read and ask questions if you don't understand something. He's very straight forward and very helpful and crystal clear in explaining things. The best professor in the CJ Dept!

Comment:

Attend class + using the Text = good grade if you study and ask questions if you don't understand something. If you don't need to know it, he probably won't answer it. Tests will be tricky if you don't study.

professor is extremely good. he explains everything to the fullest extent and if you still dont understand, he will keep going over it. he is also a very useful advisor for he is the chairperson of the cj dept. his tests are tricky but if you review the perfect notes he gives you, you will be fine. wish i had him more than just twice.
