Too complicated of a teacher. Gives to much homework out and inconsiderate of your life and schedule. Does not stick to his syllibus, changes it whenever he wants or adds projects 3/4 into the semester. Doesnt have office hours because he works full time elsewhere, so he is only available after class, oh and he does his exam reviews after class BAD

Pretty tough teacher, but in the end he helps out with grade. if you really want to learn the material, you should take him because he drills you with the stuff. If not your major then take another prof. cuz he makes the exams tough. I thought i was getting a C though... but got a B, hip hip hooray!! Your call....

you go to his class and he knows all he comments from this site..as if he wrote them himself. Found him very hard, unless you have a good background in accounting and math do not take him. If you are stuggling he will chose you for the extra credit questions, he enjoys making a fool out people, if you know the answer to his questions he won't ask.

All comments for this professor are very much alike. I am sure that prof Fonseca is the one writing how amazing he is and how much students learn on his class. Don’t let these amazing comments fool you. The class is hard, yes but he likes to put students down and makes their life impossible. Do not take him. There are better professors out there

Worst professor ever! Does not explain nothing, and likes to insult students and be a show off. He is more concerned with how he looks and his ego then teaching the class. You do not learn from him, and I am surprised he is still allowed to teach. Horrible! Don't take! Your life will be miserable.

This class is difficult, the professor made it clear. I did not read the book before coming to class (WHICH I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND) But He explained the curriculum to the point that I felt that i didn't need to read the book, because i understood when he explained. In this class YOU NEED TO DO THE HW every week, you cannot procrastinate. and STUDY!

He is a great teacher and does a great job explaining the stuff he does explain. However, he does not explain everything you need to know. He gives plenty of opportunities to get a good grade.
