He is the best professor I've ever had. Hands down. I've never wanted to go to class before. I went to FIU for 4 years and I never had a professor as fun and interesting as Applebaum. It was so easy to learn in his class. Lots of homework from Connect, but with a little time management it's nothing to complain about. Take his class!

Applebaum is the best accounting teacher at broward college. I took him for accounting 1,2, and managerial. I got A's in all three classes. He makes the material easy to understand, he has his own CPA firm so he actually knows what he's talking about. Impossible to fail i was pessimistic about accounting at first but he changed my attitude 100%
