If you want to do lots of book and computer homework, take this class, if not DON'T. Lots of Homework. Quizzes are very difficult, tests are difficult as well. Good Points: The tests are open book and extra credit is possible.
Does not teach anything- just makes you read the book. Tests are EXTREMELY hard. He is very annoying and makes you feel like you are 5 years old
"this means yes, this means no, this means I don't know" this means the teacher sucks! Only had him for two week sub, but liked the sleep I got to catch up on. Boring!
Mr Colon is a pretty good teacher, the work was not to hard and he would go over the information over and over. i understood the debit and credit thing from his method of teaching.he's not that bad andis willing to work with you!

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! He is horrible.He doesn't explain anything. HE expects you to know everything he does and brags about how smart he is. He is very belittling and rude.Tests and quizzes are very hard and homework is overwhelming.
I don't know what these other people are talking about. He gives OPEN Book tests and quizzes. He tries his best to make such a boring class fun.
Mr Colon is a very goog professor, he is willing to help and can be very understanding. Open everything, reviews work multiple times which is good,and makes the class enjoyable. If you apply your self it's an easy A.

I have had this professor for one semester including this semster. I beleive he is a great professor and helps u when U ASK FOR THE HELP. He likes to add sense of humor in his teaching to make the class alive. Colon has been a great addition to VCC.
Enjoyed this class much easier than last accounting prof that I had...took time to make sure we understood material before moving on
Not a hard class if you actually do the stuff. You wont breeze by this class. If you do the work you'll pass. Nice guy, very laid back.
Good teacher and very interesting. He takes his real life experiences and shows us what accounting is like in the real world. He will not give you test or move on unless he knows for sure everyone knows the material. Good teacher.
Very helpful professor..he will answer any questions that you may have and he is always there to help!
Very interesting professor. Laid back and approachable tries so hard to wake up a sleepy morning class by his wit and humor. Makes accounting subject fun and easy. No doubts one of the best so far.
Very nice!Very easy!Not the most interesting class but he does his best to make it interesting.
all open book tests..even the final
Mr. Colon is a very helpful teacher. He helped me whenever i needed help from him. If you pay attention in class and not do the labs while he is talking you will do great on the test. All test are open book.
Very helpful, makes the class fun, knows accounting, would highly recommend him.
Boring, Does not teach. Tries to relate to the class with discussions about sports but no real connection. You teach yourself in this class. If you want to know this subject, take someone else's class.
Great teacher,helps you out & explains very well. Would recomend.
he's a very cool and laid back professor. Gives many opportunities for extra credit if your willing to do the work. Class is not too boring..pay attention in class and do the homework and you should pass with flying colors.(quizes & exams are open book!)
Great guy. If you don't get an A, something is seriously wrong. This guy over extends himself to make sure you get an A. He rewards bad behavior in this manner. All open book/note. Hate studying? TAKE COLON!
Very funny, easy, interesting, and clear professor, plus he's Puertorrican so how bad could he be...I recommend him to anyone who is taking accounting...
He is great teacher, he knows what he talkin about. He makes good conversation other that accounting. I recommend him.
his test are very hard even with the book, he asks trick questions.. becareful this class is hard and will drop your GPA.
Very easy. Every test is open book. Makes sure you leave learning something instead of covering the entire book and you learning nothing. Keeps class entertaining.
Class is entertaning, tests and quiz open book, but studying is recomended due to quiz and test difficulty. Colon is funny, a bit cheesy but overall the class was good computers with online capability so surf the web and stay awake, occasionally here a almost funny joke. Colon two thumbs up. Easy A.
really good
I have never read anything in that accounting book I bought, I merely just looked at my notes during the tests, and got A's, if you do not get an A in this class, which feels a lot like a high school class, he makes it so easy, then something is wrong.
didn't explain anything unless u had the time to go to his office on your own time. open book tests but tests were still hard and there were trick questions. isn't the best teacher. u need alot of extra time to pass this class. wouldn't recommend at all.
I took the class b/c of this site. I truley believe the professor writes some of these comments to get students in his class. The class is not as easy as some think. The quiz's and test's are not similiar to the homework. The quiz/exam are tricky b/c of the terminolgy that he does not explain until
He's a good teacher and goes through stuff thoroughly. But just because he has open book tests and quizzes doesn't mean u shouldn't read the book. He teaches us in a way that accounting will be in the future (having books as a reference).
Not as easy as this site says! You are graded on attendance, and even though the tests are open book, you still have to know what the hell is going on! He doesn't explain anything for more than 5 min. before he's onto the next subject like football (if you're a red sox fan...don't take this class!)
This class is open book, and attendance is graded, and paying attention is not mandatory although I recommend it. He goes through it quickly but if you pay attention you should get through it easily. If you need help he will help you. If you are a Yankees fan, that is also very helpful!
Awesome guy, genuinely cares about his students. Tests and quizzes are open book, but you do learn the material if all you do is sit in class. makes time pass by with his own personal experiences as an accountant.
He is not a good professor at all! I do agree that he writes his own comments on this site. He never stays on track with the topic, he loves to wonder away on the subject, which makes it so difficult on you to go back to learning acct. after he just got done talking about the Red Sox's for 20mins.
Okay i got an A in this class BUT i studied like crazy! i took it over the summer and my main focus was this class! It's not an easy class but come on it's Accounting!
The tests and quizzes are all open notes and open book. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Attendance is required. If you go and read a little bit of the book you'll do fine. I loved this class (for being accounting). I got an A by simply highligting important ideas for tests. You have to try hard to fail.
This teacher did nothing but talk about sports. He would be in the middle of a lecture and totally spin off on another subject. I spent hours on makeup up homework b/c he said he would give me credit for it and he only gave me 50% credit!! He told me he would return my calls and never did, I didn't learn a damn thing in this class!!
Awesome guy he is funny and keeps you awake, open book tests, pretty much if you catch the fist 2 weeks of material about T-acct's you are set for the rest of the class, it was an easy A for me but others in class didnt do so well PAY ATTENTION IN THE BEGINNING AND YOU WILL CATCH ON AND BE OK!
A good teacher, knows his stuff. Just do the homework and study. I wish he didn't repeat himself as much as he does. Very fair with test, even though they are on the harder edge.
I just came back to college after a five year break and i made the highest grade in the class. Professor is understanding and helpful. Everthing is open-book and notes. Colon makes accounting fun and even interesting. One of the best teachers I have ever had.
He's a nice guy, easy 2 talk 2 & willing 2 help. He knows his info,& gives a lot of "real world" stories but repeats some of them A LOT. He reviews every chapter in class, goes over info, & if u pay attention, the tests r easy (OPEN BOOK!). I haven't been in school in 4 years & thought this was a great class. u MUST read the chapters though.
great class,prof.Colon made this class easy to understand and he was very helpfull and understanding. return calls when i did not understood a problem and cover all points open books/notes test, but you must practice and read the chapters
Mr.Colon is an awesome man. There is no way that you will not pass with at least a C. UNLESS you really not interested in acct or pay attention in his class. He will repeat all the steps over and over for every class you go. He'll go over the questions step by step with great details. You can ask any question and he'll answer. He's the best acct pr
he def writes his owns comments on this site b/c he even talks about this site in class.. hes very hard and its impossible to keep up with him at all times.. and his tests are extremely hard! open book but not relevant to what is taught in class
The good: you will get an A in the class unless you are in a persistent vegatative state. The bad: if accounting is a component of your major, he will not help you master the skills you need. If somebody disputes one of his questions he will sulk and then punish the entire class for his perceived slight. Does an easy A make up for learning nothing?
Reads directly from text. I can pay a toddler to do that!!! Don't waste your money!
Professor Colon is a very easygoing guy.He's nice and always willing to help students.Gives out whole lotta extra credits by taking attendence.There's no way you cant pass this course.Open book test,the test is not hard,you just need to pay more attention to the small details.Highly recommanded!Making an high A so far.
I took him last semester and he was a GREAT teacher, I learned a lot and got an A. Maybe you all are just complete dumb asses that don't know how todo anything. His class was easy and the test where easy and the only thing that sucked was the attendence points but besides that if you can't get an A go back to high school.
He read everything from the book, which you can do for yourself. Doesn't really explain what you have to do but to read the chapter. Attendance is very important. He's lame and tries to be cool but it's kinda okay. Put it this way if you can learn by reading than take him but if you need explanation don't take him...
All this guy does is read from the book. Which most people would stay home and do if he did not give points on attendance but the quizzes and tests are a little different from the way he teaches. So that can catch some students off guard the only good thing is that for the most part you'll get at least a c.
Im sitting in this guys class now....all i hear is Blah Blah Blah im like uh huh,,,,Okay,,,Whats up!,,,,SHUT UP!!!! pretty easy going class Impossible to fail...reminds me of the clear eye guy on steroids who love sports.... TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
This guy it's nuts..but "who gives a RIP" haha. You have to practice [at least a little] otherwise you'll be lost.. especially on the tests. The subject sucks [unless you're major is accounting]
BEST TECHER EVER! Go to his office hours with any questions you have. Buy the working papers and the study guide and you will get an A! Best accounting teacher at VCC. Trust me! try looking up the other professors rateings. Do the problems in the study guide and the homework and you'll get atleast and A. I promise!
It's pretty sad when you have to write your own comments just to get students to attend your class. Take muller, he's better.

HORRIBLE
His ratings before looked excellent, but he upgraded his teaching methods which helped me learn nada. He needs to speak clearer and not mumble when explaining problems. Everytime we would ask 4 help w/ the problems it seemed as we were bothering him. Just b/c he knows the material dont mean that the student do. Very Disappointed with this class.
GIVE OPEN BOOK TEST BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO STUDY. EXPLAINS ALL AND APPROCHABLE
very lazy provessor. No teaching at all, the computer does all his job at grading exams and hw. He is da kind of teacher whom like sum studens more than other for no racional reason. in the class i didnt learn well and i am almost sure that the grade he gave me was not fair !!!
"HORRIBLE" true
mr. colon is a nice professor. at first, i had trouble but after following his advice of "practice, practice, practice", the material became very clear and the test and hws are easier. though he might go off the subject at times, he does ask the class if they understand the material and goes over the hw.
If your not interested in accounting then don't take this professor. He's nice but personally I find it boring and he gets notes from online. The class agenda was terribly monotaneous but he always offers to help. He's not a bad teacher but everyone learns differently, sometimes notes on the projecter doesn't do it for everyone. Ok for some.
I don't know what everyone is talking about. This professor gets off topic a little but it's funny, all you have to do is read the chapters and you will be fine You get to use your book and notes for the test/quizes and you get points for just comming to class. Quizess and tests are pretty straightforward and the professor is a nice guy to talk to
this class is easy if you study, prof. colon uses alot of powerpoint but he also uses other stuff. take notes, do the homework that's assigned in class not just the ones worth pts. And you should get no lower than a b, also attendance counts so show up.
He is very easy...allow you to have open book test...
The subject of Accounting was challenging for me. I do not know if I would have passed under another professor. The open book testing and notes were a great help however you still need to read and practice. I would recommend him especially if not strong in this subject. I will be taking him for Managerial. Thanks Colon!!
Colon sometimes tries a little too hard to be funny, but he's a good guy and knows what he's talking about. Open book and notes, including past quizzes, tests, and homework. He makes it easy. Buy the textbook used, buy the hw manager from the bookstore, and use the cash you saved on the book to buy the working papers. They're worth it.
Carlos is the man! This class really isn't that hard. It's a little more complicated than 2021, but good ol' Carlos does things right. Same exact set up as ACG2021. You get points for going to class, HW Manager, etc. I've had to help people in other classes, and Colon is by far the easiest and nicest prof for ACG! Great guy.
He is awesome! There's no way that you can fail his class. Attendence counts cuz it's part of your grade, but there's also an exception. I would take him again for management but his class time didn't fit me in, so sad. If you don't understand anything, u can ask him n he's very willing to help u. He's more like your friend than just a professor.
He's not a bad teacher. His quizzes and tests ARE different from the exercises he assigns. Although it's open book, there's always a couple of questions that will throw you off cuz they're just so abstract. He seems like he gets angry when you ask him questions, but he's just like that and doesn't mean harm. He does that to everyone. Full of jokes.
This was the second time I took this class and I am horrible at anything even remotly math related. He is a really good teacher. TAKE HIM
great guy. gets off topic alot. tries really hard for students to get material by repeating it 100000 times. "practice is the key" and i agree with the one person below who says that he seems to get angry when you ask him questions. btw he does read these ratings you know...
Well, All I got to say is that there were 23 students in my class . Must of us were ready to take the first exam.We took it and guess what!! 16 students got an F on the test, 4 got a D,2 got a B and 1 got an A ! I know these numbers because he standed infront of the class and told us how many of us faild and how many of us passed ! This is a fact !
This guy is a BA. Nuff said. He knows the material and is an all around cool guy. You won't find many professors who are willing to deliver the material like he does. If you fail at his class, then you fail at life.
This class was my favorite, and I'm not even an Acct Major! He's a funny guy, never a dull moment in his class! There are 2 quizzes, 2 tests, and a final, all of which are open book! Two online HW assgn which are long, but helps you study. He also gives xtra credit just for showing up! I can't believe it, but I actually get Acct! Thanks professor!
The professor was awesome. He knows the material extremely well and knows how to teach it. He uses anecdotes and humor to make it understandable. He definitely wants everyone to succeed. The first half is a lot harder than the second half, but reading helps. P.S. Another subject, like celebrities might capture more attention than baseball.
A nice guy, very helpful, and very smart. Attend every class cause you get 5points each day. His test are very tricky but his final counts as 2 grades which was huge for me.Dont drop this class. I failed the first quiz & test but ended w/ a B.The hw, attendence, & final will bring your grade up.
he is rather boring, and all he tlks about is how he got fired, he teaches about 50% of the time, the only good thing is open book test and quizzes
He uses the computer to do everything...which I think is not good. lazy professor. doesn't not bend, and talks allot about himself
I disagree with the last student. He goes out of his way to help you & if you read the textbook & practice the exercises you will pass the class. He is not lazy. The best accounting professor at Valencia.
since my review which contained no obscene language is under review ill write another one.this teacher is not good at teaching. he gets very angry at who ever asks a question. and he has the lamest jokes and the most annoying voice i ever heard
not a good teacher
Very helpful & goes out of his way to answer your questions. Reviews the quizzes & tests. Those who critize him just don't practice the assignments or read the chapters.
Take him if you're NOT an ACCT Major.Don't really listen to what he is talking about, I just show up for class for the 5 points,I took him for both ACCT. If you do bad on the quiz, make sure you go to the next class. Take good notes on the review and you will do fine on the test.

Mr. Colon was a great teacher. He used real life situations and everyone told me act. would be hard and he made it an interesting, easy class. I got an f on the first test and a d on the 1st quiz and with attendance and the final i passed with an A. Def. Recommend taking him!!
this class was easy. who ever said that his class is hard does not know how to NETWORK.i took him for financial and managerial. if you have the material you will breeze through this class. but he is a great professor. i recommand him.
He makes corny jokes, but in the end the class isn't that hard. All tests / quizs are open book / notes. Make sure to stay after the test / quiz because he goes over all questions and that can be used for the next text. Attendance is not mandatory but he gives points for attending class.
Good guy for Acct. Test and quizzes are'nt bad. Took him for both Financial and Managerial Acct. and came out with A's. I would recommend his class to anyone!
I had failed this class before. I would have NEVER been able to pass it with any other professor. He was GREAT!!
Its not that he is bad at teaching accounting, but every class he tells the same stories and makes the same comments, so its easy to lose interest. It would be better if he just taught the subject, because accountings not that bad but listening to him ramble about the same stuff is.He is willing to help but seems condisending, claims hes passionate
I wish Professor Colon was the President.. finally a teacher thats isn't a loon left wing starbucks sipping liberal ... :)
He knows a lot about the subject, which is great! BUT, only if he would stick more to accounting and less of 'spreading' his opinions. It was horrible this semester having to listen to all of his opinions on why people should vote republican, and bashing on other candidates. Bottom line is who cares! This is accounting and he should stick to it!
A great professor. "Practice" is the only way to get an easy A.
If you have the book, you will pass the class. He goes over every question on test and quiz. He also uses those problems on the final exam. Attend every class because if you dont, you will feel lost the next class. He talks off subject a lot! So be ready to sit there while he talks about things that dont go with accounting.
Great professor. Practice & you will pass the class. He makes accounting fun. I would highly recomend him.
He thinks the world of himself, he loves to share his opinions over and over again. If you are a sensitive democrat do not take his class. He knows a lot about accounting and talks fast and doesn't make a lot of sense. Open book tests and only 2 homework assignments are the only reason I will probably pass.
really cool down to earth guy. Makes the class interesting and definately not boring! very very helpful. im taking his managerial class. He just wants to be different and see students succeed! thanks prof. Colon
He is a great professor!!! He make the class pretty interesting and always willing to help. You did a great job Colon!
Cool chilled guy who will help you individually to make you understand accounting. Not bad of a class if you put in the effort to study a lot. Everything was fine until he got fired =[
Great professor, made a very boring subject a bit more interesting than it is. Its a shame he is not at Valencia anymore : (
The best professor at the west campus. He was treated unfairly by the dean & provost. They got rid of him because they did not like him. Valencia community college does not care about the students. If you read his evaluations they are the best & the most at Valencia.
Overall I got an A. I studied the book myself and took notes. He's an alright professor, not great. When you ask him questions he acts like you're bothering him, but he's just very intense and passionate. He makes jokes and tries very hard to connect with you in class. He's just an overall emotional guy. He looks strict but he's kinda a nut.
He gives HW without showing you anything! Then will ask for Q's on the HW, when he gets nobody responds he starts talking about his fav subject himself! DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
BEST accounting professor ever! Open book exams! (but that doesn't make them easy... you really have to know what you are doing) highest grade in the class is exempt from final!
