So defensive!
March 18th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
He looks like a drill sargeant..
March 20th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I’m glad I don’t go to this school because I would be bringing this guy apples everyday and skipping class he’s really sexy I hope he’s that aggressive in bed.
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Jeez..he doesn’t have to be ****** about the nice comments too. He’s a little charming in a way, but man…take a chill pill! I guess his personality goes perfect for the class he’s teaching.
March 23rd, 2008 at 10:50 pm
It’s a little silly that he believes that completion of grad school has anything to do with teaching ability. Knowing material at a higher level says nothing about how well you can deliver it in a lecture. And can you be any more defensive? Those above him must have treated him like **** . This man has some messed up power complexes.
March 26th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
He doesn’t look like a drill sergeant, drill instructors are tough and mean, that guy is a punk. So defensive. DON’T Critique my teaching !!! Whaa Whaaa Whaambulance. Quit crying you big baby. So what someone hates your teaching style, don’t get made at them becuase you suck!!!!!
March 26th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
THIS CRACKS ME UP! AND I’M WRITING IN ALL CAPS…. BUT I’M NOT THE “MORON” THAT RATED YOU ON RATEMYPROFESSOR.COM. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT SINCE APPARENTLY WRITING IN ALL CAPS MEANS IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME PERSON. I’M SURE BEING INTERVIEWED ON HERE AND EMBARRASSING YOURSELF GOT YOU SOME MORE CONTRACTS, PROMOTIONS, ETC.
March 28th, 2008 at 10:51 am
His defensiveness & abrasiveness lend credibility to the negative comments he gets.
March 28th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
YIKES! AN ADJUNCT! ericacinottiorg
April 19th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

You’re boring, beyond belief… and ugly too.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:07 pm

June 12th, 2008 at 5:17 am
ummm..
first, I think he’s very VERY rude.
He is very mean!!!

June 12th, 2008 at 5:17 am
ummm..
first, I think he’s very VERY rude.
He is very mean!!!
I just want to smack him in the head and tell him to grow up.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
STOP WHINING! In spite of all the negative comments people leave for you, you still get paid by the school as long as you’re hired. You said it yourself in the last video. You’re just like Simon Cowell, the guy from American Idol who complains about having to hear bad singers yet he still gets a fat paycheck. You need to mature, Mr. Cinotti.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
ha.
cocky and young
he’s got a lot to learn in life, it’s a shame though, that it’ll probably take him another 10-15 years to learn.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
THE FINAL TWO VIDEOS JUST SHOW WHAT AN ***HOLE N JERK HE IS. SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING “YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER”, AND HE TRIED TO SLAM THAT DOWN TOO. DUMB ***, WONDER HOW THEY DID NOT FIRE HIM YET.
ARE YOU AN EX-ARMY OR SOMETHING? GO TO IRAQ AND SCARE THE TERRORISTS BOOOOOOO JACK***
June 27th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
If you have problems you dont have to go to him. muhahaha, he ALREADY KNOWS WHO YOU ARE…
June 28th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Who the **** hired this guy?? LOL very mature for a prof =P
June 28th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Wow. A Noo Yawker who’s loud and obnoxious? Who knew?
July 1st, 2008 at 2:09 pm
wow.
First off he’s immature.
2nd. did anyone notice a st-st-stutter?
3rd. Seems very angry
July 3rd, 2008 at 1:16 am
What an A**hole. I’m glad I didn’t have him for class. He’s so childish. Saying you have to have a Master’s Degree before you can critique his teaching skills. Our teacher’s send us a form to critique them in every class I’ve taken. How else are they to know if they’re good teachers without the feedback of the students they are teaching. He needs to G-G-G-GROW UP!!
July 5th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Anybody else notice how he says in the last video that he laughs at all the comments his students leave for him, yet he seems so ****** off about the comments in all the other videos? Quite ironic.
July 5th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
****** = p*ssed (I didn’t know that word was censored.)
July 7th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
this was so funny. this video can be made into a movie-it’s hilarious. He sounds like a 7 year old fighting against a 4year old
July 8th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
He’s a child! Act like a professional! If this site is where you get your credibility to advance your career, you should really reconsider your 5 year plan. geez. P.S. I know who you are…. gimme a break!
July 9th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
wambulance…HAHAHAHA good 1 hope you don’t mind if i steal that from u
July 11th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Do you know me?
July 11th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
What’s his Problem?! He doesn’t deserve any respect from me or any of the students that take him. From the looks of these video clips he doesn’t care about students opinions
“…if I need you an undergraduate to tell me how to teach when you get a degree and you go to graduate school and actually pass because you probably cannot even write…”
Why would you say that about one of your students?! Dude it’s not too late to start a new career, I don’t think you’re in the right field of work. You immature A**Hole.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:41 am
Call him abrasive? Look at what he teaches. I LOVE this guy, he tells it like it is. I’m a T.A. and I know getting in front of class isn’t easy. A bunch of whiny freshmen being told they’re special all their life try to tell this guy he can’t teach? Professors laugh at these comments because they’re usually from people who did poorly in class and don’t want to do the work. He sounds like a no-nonsense type of guy and if you saw lazy teenagers who think they know it all talk **** about you, you’d be abrasive too! He’s exactly the type of professor I’d like to have.
July 12th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
But he was rude even towards the people who left positive comments. He must have some sort of problem, David!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Some people never grow up!!
July 18th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Sir, you’re job is recognize that the people in your class are under educated, and for you to find a way to convey the information to them. Not smear that they done have a degree in their face.
The fact that you’re so defensive; so frazzled by these comments shows your insecurity. The fact that you stammer while your trying to project a retort shows that you haven’t comprehended and analyzed the comments. Basically- You didn’t think. You just got angry.
I couldn’t have a class with a professor who wasn’t at least mildly cerebral. You let your emotion control you. You verbally attack people and -It- -is- -despicable-. Be a man. Be a professional. A professional is what you should have been striving to be when you were earning your degree.
July 19th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
It is ***** like this that make me thankful that I have my degrees in hand and do not have to deal with idiots like this guy anymore.
Seriously, I would punch him in the face if he spoke to me like he does about his students in real life.
Just another poor sap with one or more of the following: parents did not hug him enough, small *****, low self-esteem, delusion of grandeur, career not going as planned, whipped by wife/girlfriend (boyfriend?), etc. etc.
What a loser.

WORST PROF EVER!!! Even worse, his personality. Way too cocky and rude as ****. I will never attend Montclair University, soley to avoid this crazy character.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
According to my students, I’m the “WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!” Is it possible that they could be wrong?
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Wow! How does this person still have a job? You are in the wrong profession, Why in the world would anyone pay to put up with this guy?????
July 22nd, 2008 at 11:45 pm
So he’s screwed up in the personality department. He’s probably fresh out of grad school and thinks he knows everything. Having an advanced degree does not mean you “know how to teach”. That being said, something about that agressive, New York/Boston (which is it?) accent…..RRRROWR! I’d take his class just to have him yell at me.
I bet he’s truly passionate about his job and is just sick of all the crybaby undergrads who expect to have their hand held while they work towards a degree.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:49 am
I wouldn’t pay attention to this joker if I had him. What was his dissertation on? Nice popped collar! You are the epitome of a failed education system, and definitely not one that any of the respected professors at Montclair U. would refer to as anything more than “kid.” (So I suppose.) He’s got one of those Napolean complexes going on…look at the aggression! He’s got defeat written all over him.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:59 am
Also, the only positive comments are left from girls in orange skin with bleached hair and teeth. When your supporting nods come from a hay-filled skull that slowly falls to meet your crotch, that says something about your career. Go back to the gym, and let the smart people teach.
July 26th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
So when little Eric was young, I bet he wanted to be a policeman. I think he was at one time. I remember seeing him on the video beating Rodney King. Eric, are you a top or bottom? My money is that you are a bottom.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Oh my gosh you are so FREAKING CUTE! Im from CA, and I feel like changing majors and switching schools just so I can go to your class.
July 31st, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Rock on! Good to see a prof stand up to the morons who post these complaints because they are either too lazy to study or just too dumb, or both.
August 1st, 2008 at 12:28 am
wow, i don’t even go to this school, but I can tell he’s not a very student-friendly person. Degrees don’t really give you any authority to dismiss a criticism of your teaching ability.
August 2nd, 2008 at 3:38 pm
haha.. damn he sounds like such an ***.. I cant believe that professors actually talk back.. dude be a professor and not a wuss, so some students don’t like you, be a man and take that so you can improve yourself..
August 7th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Seriously dude, why are you so defensive. Obviously you have issues if you are calling your students “moron”. Let it go, learn to take criticism. Sheesh
August 8th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Arrogant professor. Having teaching skills have nothing to do with his “high education”. Needs to have his head check by a doctor. Perhaps you are in the wrong field.
August 10th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Wow! What an aggressive and defensive man, seeing him speak makes every prof at my school seem like an angel. If I need you, an undergraduate…probably can’t even write. Thats just inappropriate. Learn how to take criticism, your a professional for pity’s sake
August 12th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I haven’t taken this clown AND I WON’T. He seems to be a very arrogant ****** !!!!!
August 13th, 2008 at 12:39 am
I’m sorry, no, most professors do NOT go out and talk about this at happy hour. In fact, most professors have a life outside of the university/teaching – just like you, the students, have a life outside of being a student…albeit maybe it revolves around college at this time, that will pass.
As somebody who knows this man personally, your best bet is to find an alternative to this professor – yes, he is just as arrogant in person.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Someone sure has confidence issues ….
August 16th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
As a graduate of MSU, it doesn’t surprise me that this guy is a “professor” there. “I know who you are”…..AND, so what? Must be tough for anyone to read a critique about themself- but responding like that makes you look immature and insecure. And when someone gives you a nice comment, responding arrogantly makes you look like an a—–le.
August 18th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Gawd. Totally reminds me of neighborhood guys. Calm down! Don’t get your boot and horn chain in a bunch.
August 21st, 2008 at 2:22 pm
haha whatever. he’s hot :]
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:15 pm
you’s guys betta be careful, he’ll have you all whacked!
August 25th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
hahahahahhahahahahhhh
September 13th, 2008 at 12:20 am
WOW! So sexy! Can I be your student aid?!
September 18th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Wow…I don’t even have this guy as a teacher but he seems like a real d*ck…I would hate to have him….
October 1st, 2008 at 11:58 am
Folks, I stumbled across this site by accident. However, the subject matter caught my attention and I looked at some of the videos and then read the responses. I really have to say that I am amazed at the bad grammar, especially the misspelled words, that I observed in the responses. Are you sure you all are high school graduates and now college students?
November 20th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
He’s not a “Noo Yawker” – he’s from Jersey.
November 22nd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
funny how he works for a lawyer who was disbarred from practicing law for 3 years cause he lied to the US Marshall. guess thats the only job he can get with his ****** skills
November 23rd, 2008 at 7:59 am
haha he is kinda cute i would love to take his class~
December 8th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
He’s hot
December 14th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
man hes a angry guy. glad he does not teach at my school or he would surley be embarrassed by the class. wow he sucks
December 16th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Funny guy, quite a personality. He’d be better suited in one of those MTV reality shows full of other shallow idiots. Criminal Justice eh? I would consider him as a representative of the rest of the brain-dead police populous of New Jersey. Well done there slick. I mean let’s face it, criminal justice in New Jersey is an oxymoron sort of like military intelligence. Comedians can use it as a punch line in their jokes. I bet anyone with an IQ over 5 can get a graduate degree in criminal justice. At least thats the impression I get from hearing you speak. On a more serious note, you and people like you are the reason why the criminal justice system is ineffective, why people who go to jail have high rates of recidivism once they get out, why cops in New jersey are ******, intolerant, and pretentious, why the courthouses feel more like a Western Union than a place where the law is upheld and respected. In any case, enjoy your superficial power trip, I’m sure you’ve earned it (or whatever it is they use to justify themselves nowadays).
December 16th, 2008 at 7:21 am
People take everything so seriously! Most of you do not even know him nor have you taken his class. I like his personality and he was nice about the comment that was actually positive…the other one said he’s a nice guy but can’t teach…
Stop getting offended and calling him an ******* or **** because he actually has a personality. Clearly, he is joking around and people obviously don’t understand sarcasm and when people are just kidding…I’d take his class and no it’s not because I think he’s cute. He seems like he’d be cool to talk to and I’d assume he is qualified if they hired him and he is still teaching.
“Also, the only positive comments are left from girls in orange skin with bleached hair and teeth”
Haha, I think not.
You don’t have to like your professor as a person…just go to class and do the work and there won’t be any problems…
December 17th, 2008 at 12:16 am
The second that people, especially students, start swallowing the backwash that is bias and prejudice in the name of education and never question every word and idea that inexperienced professors try to pollute their minds with, is a point in time when you can rest assured that you have raised your children to be mindless followers instead of conscientious, and intelligent leaders. And if you’re students, then you guys should definitely keep it up. I mean who needs intelligent people anyway these days? But really, people actually assume he’s a qualified teacher just because “they hired him”? Who are “they” exactly? Not the people who took your money I wonder..Or can it be that the “real” professors with experience in their field and in education are getting paid way more and are probably at a university where their services aren’t going to waste attempting the impossible: To try to teach something to some “girls in orange skin and bleached teeth”, juice heads, and some overfed suburban crackheads who still live with their parents at 26.
December 17th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Well– what about the department chair that this guy works for! And all the other administrators that aren’t doing their jobs! Rate them folks! Studenttube.net
January 5th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I would think that the people you’re teaching would know better if you are a good teacher or not…they’re the ones trying to get an education from you. You obviously forget what it’s like to be a student.
January 6th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Wow, I don’t know the professor, but I honestly believe that it depends on the students. Honestly, I don’t take any of the rated comments serious. I had an English professor that taught me so much and because he was strict, people would rate him very harsh. This is college, not high school. Teachers don’t hand out easy grades because you kiss their ***, you literally have to work your butt off!! How about we be grateful that these professors want to help others with their education. I’m sure it gets old to have to deal with constant excuses as to why they didn’t show up to cl***, or.. oh my great, great grandmother p***ed away. Oops I slept in because I was up too late partying!! DON’T ENTER COLLEGE UNTIL YOU’RE 22, YOU GRASP THINGS BETTER AND ARE NOT SO IMMATURE!!
January 15th, 2009 at 12:30 am
First Id like to say your hot as ****, Id just take your class to listen to you yell at people.
Second, I bet your a damn good teacher, quite entertaining in many ways!
August 4th, 2009 at 4:07 am
wow he is so new jersey……………and montclair state must be a complete moron school
August 27th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
STOP WHINING! In spite of all the negative comments people leave for you, you still get paid by the school as long as you're hired. You said it yourself in the last video. You're just like Simon Cowell, the guy from American Idol who complains about having to hear bad singers yet he still gets a fat paycheck. You need to mature, Mr. Cinotti.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:04 am
WOW! He is angry… very angry professor. He brought himself down to the students' levels. Very shameful. He should put himself on a different level and speak professionally about his feelings. I wondered if he spoke like this during his job interview with this school? It doesn't matter if you have a Master's degree, you'll still behave like a child. Professor, keep it together! You can still get your point across without behaving like a child and perhaps you'll get some respect. I don't want to see some smoke coming out of his ear, nose, and maybe his throat soon. So, please do not get him angry. Please see a therapist or find a better way of dealing with negative criticism. Very sad
October 24th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
He seems proud – not the good kinda proud, but the macho-man egotistical proud. Obviously, he's insecure. To get upset over students' responses to the extent that he feels he need to convince them -the undergrad losers who can't recognize good vs bad teaching strategies- that he IS a good teacher and he's so much better than they are shows that he's not even satisfied with what he has gotten out of teaching. A good teacher considers his students' views in order to make his method more effective, and doesn't feel a need to be reassured by other teachers or to convince his students of all the stuff this guy touched on. Also, what was with the one upping thing? Did it make you feel good to tell all these 18-25 year olds that you make more than them? Did it make you happy to try to put them down, telling them that their comments, which you took as personal attacks, actually advanced your career? Good for you, but no one cares. You can't make up for being pompous by showing up your students with money. Everyone's critiquing your class- no one's trying to hurt you or compete- except for you. Get a hold of yourself. Once you change the amount necessary to convince yourself that you're a good teacher, you won't feel the need to convince your students. Odds are, you won't even need to. Till then, at least don't think so highly of yourself that you can't even accept a compliment.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Unlike the other professors who "strike back",he seems really defensive and unintelligent in his comments.He is incredibly immature and good lord buddy step away from the camera!Your face is freaking oily!Yuck!
November 29th, 2009 at 2:09 am
seriously!!!! what a lameo! and you can tell hes genuinely pissed and trying to play it as if he's not!
November 29th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Eric,
You are truly one horse's ass. I think your abilities would be best served chasing after circus elephants with a shovel and garbage pail on wheels.
November 29th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
hahaha!
December 14th, 2009 at 10:54 am
Same moron uses caps all the kind? Shows a lack of knowledge of internet culture, all kinds of morons use caps
January 18th, 2010 at 6:13 am
Thanks for posting this, lifted my day.
January 18th, 2010 at 6:14 am
Food for thought.
February 26th, 2010 at 2:55 am
To bad he's a lawyer and makes more money in a week then you do in a year lmao
