Comment:

For college credit as a rising senior, I was offered an Effective Communication course at Fordham University. Professor Trab, as we were told to call him, was a tough guy, no doubt. There were projects almost every single day. However, when I left his class, I felt my communication skills were greater than ever before.

Comment:

He used creative class exercises and he related class material to current business news. He expected us to participate in class, so he sent out his notes after each class so we didn't need to spend time taking notes during class. He was very accommodating when I had to miss class for personal reasons.

Comment:

He was my freshman advisor and my experience with him is untypical. He seems to have an attitude against international students. He once forced me to leave com2 (although my sat score already met the requirements ) and yelled at me when i insisted to stay (as a matter of fact i aced this comp2).This also happened to other foreign students.

Comment:

The best advisor at CBA. That's why kids from every year still go to Dean Trab. Even though I am not the smartest kid in my grade, he makes me feel like I am just as important. He pushed me to do more and I did.I look forward to seeing him.

Comment:

My class was atypical as he was recovering from an illness and conducted class through one on one phone convos and blackboard. He was very clear and helpful when I eventually got to talk him. Personable, informative, generous with his advice and personal life experiences. Offered to write me a recommendation too-and me? I would recommend him.

be prepared. you'll need to work hard if you want a good grade- but it's worth it because you learn a lot too. very useful stuff. dean trab will put in the time to make sure you get your assignmnets right but he expects you to do the same. after this class I have way less anxiety when I have make presentations.

First time I ever met with a dean, he was very nice and was really interested in helping. It seems like he's always busy because he's eager to help his students... thanks Dean!!

Trabakino's mind is all over the place he is so smart, his heart is with his students. He is a dedicated teacher and will be there for you. I loved his class. The time went so quick. He even bought us, THE ENTIRE CLASS, dinner a few times. Hey he ain't cheap. Very generious with his time and cash. Def. Recommended

Trab spent more time working & helping me than any other dean at Fordham. Catch him after 2:00 PM for the best results. Intense, funny, he know his *&^%$ cold.

As a prof. he really related well to the class and maintained a good balance of teaching without stifling independent thought. Good sense of humor too.

Are you guys kidding me? Dean Trab might just be the most easy going guy around. He has a warm heart and if you make an effort to get to know him, he is a lifesaver. I would reccommend this man to anyone.

Comment:

Helped with a couple of things, but no where near what is needed from an advisor. Sometimes just didn't answer phone calls or emails; other times gave bad or no advice. If you have a choice of deans, choose someone else.

Comment:

This man is the most difficult person I've ever dealt with in my life. He’s totally unhelpful. You really must play dumb in order for him to play ball. It took him 9 months to transfer my credits from my previous school. He’s so bad I ended up having to write a formal letter requesting a change of dean after he hung-up the phone on me.

Comment:

I have heard horror stories about this man since freshman year, and I would never be able to imagine anyone would be so negative. No, and Take it up with SoAndSo are his catch phrases. If you ever plan on meeting this man, you need to play dumb, dumber then he is, otherwise he will probably snap about how wrong you are. Binder, or do it yourself.
