The class is really easy to pass, if you just attend the lectures, read your book, and do practice problems. Her exams are multiple choice at CASA. Just make sure to study!

Overall the class is easy. You just need to put in the time/effort to pay attention in class and/or read outside of class. There are online homework assignments and projects and clicker questions throughout the class so I recommend attending class. Lastly, she does follow PowerPoints, but she also does a lot of book questions that help prepare us.

Professor Serrato is a very sweet lady. I understand people say accounting is hard to understand but you have to put in the effort. Her hand writing was not amazing, but she did a very good job at explaining the subject. You have to read the textbook to really understand whats going on though. Also the department curves each test.

I am not into accounting at all, so it was difficult for me to stay focused each class. You have homework, she gives you enough time to complete it though. It will feel as if you are in a fast paced course, try and keep up. you HAVE to attend class, i never missed it. TAKE NOTES! you WILL need them also she gives AMAZING curves for tests.

She is a good accounting professor! I like her lecture, she gives us her own notes which are easier and clear than the handouts from the book! TAKE NOTES! Her handwriting is not that clear but you can definitely ask her, she is patient and always give us those useful examples!!! The accounting department give amazing curves!

Professor Serrato is helpful and sweet. She does tend to rush through the chapters but her chapter outline/notes are really helpful. The more you practice the problems, the easier the exam is.

If you go to class every day, you should pass. She does use clickers for participation/attendance so make sure to bring that. Her online HW is easy and straightforward and WILL help you better understand the content so I suggest you do the HW. She flies by the lectures but makes sure to be as clear as possible. 2 easy projects, 2 HW's per chapter.

Despite all of these reviews, I think Serrato is a very good professor. Her handwriting may not be the best, but you can always ask what something says for clarification. The practice problems she does in class are exactly like the ones on the homework. Her exam reviews are good. Take notes, do the homeworks and go to class A in financial acct

I personally think accounting is very difficult. She tries to do her best. But she lectures VERY FAST and it is hard to mentally keep up with everything that she is saying. She lets you take pictures of her writing on the board though. The online reading is really useful and the hw is easy. But the tests are hard. You have to memorize formula.

She is a great teacher even if you are not an accounting major. She really knows how to teach the material and will not hold back if you have questions. If you go to class you will be sure to get 100's on the homeworks.

Hands down the best professor I had in a very long time. Here are the key things you need to know: Sit in the front of class, Read chapters before class (or after just read it), listen to what makes sense to you (this is what makes her stand out, she explains it differently so that everyone understands the concept) & attend class. Easy as that.

Her classes are mandatory for clickers, you need to buy access code and will use txtbk. She's caring and she tries to clarify all your questions in class. Her teaching was good, but I'm more of a hands on learner. Just do all your assignments and it's an easy A. There's curve points for tests and overall grading also (for the entire department)

You must attend class if you want to pass this class because she lectures on two chapters per class. There are three exams including the final and they include about 4-5 chapters each and the final over all the chapters. There's a project online and homework on connect. She is an easy grader!

I believe acct overall isn't that easy to understand. With Professor Serrato you have to pay attention to the examples and know the material on the homework. Study for exams! The dept. provides us with a lot of material to study. The course is fast because there is alot of information. Do the homework, readings, projects, study and you'll be fine1

This class is not the easiest but you can definitely get A by putting in some work. I really liked Dr. Serrato's lectures. She provides great examples that help to understand the topic. You should already come to class with some knowledge about the topic (read the book) and that'll make it way easier. Also, the homeworks were helpful too.

To be able to understand and comprehend her lectures, I recommend reading the chapter in the textbook before going to class that way the new terms don't come as a surprise to you. She gives clear examples in class that simulate the homework so attend class as much as possible. 10/10 recommend

Lectures are important, miss a lecture you probably fail just bc she gives so much information. She prepares you thoroughly for homework & exams. Along with slides, she does practice questions in class which are same as the homework. Do the work, take good notes, and attend class for clickers, you'll pass easily! Not an easy A class tho, must work!

Good professor, study for the exams and you will be fine. Lectures are not boring and she works on problems throughout the lecture that help with the homework. 3 exams, 11 homeworks and pre-chapters, and 2 projects.

Show up to class for clicker questions, 11 online hws (three tries to get questions right), 11 online pre-chapter reading questions (unlimited amount of tries), 2 test, 1 comprehensive final, 2 straight forward non time-consuming projects!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THIS PROFESSOR!

Great professor. Provided a lot of resources to help you on the test. Make sure you attend class, complete pre-chapter quizzes, and hw! 2 tests + final. Tests are pretty similar to the hw. She also had test review sessions! Take her!

SHES SO NICE!!! CLASS IS STILL HARDER BUT SHE MAKES IT EASIER.

She's really nice and will help you out if you ask her. The class is boring but I don't really know how you could possibly make accounting interesting personally. It did feel like she cared about me. The homework was easy, the tests not so much for me. You don't need the book really.

Dr. Serato was a very caring professor she was the type of professor who made you work for the answer but wont let you leave class unless everyone in the classroom was on the same page. She always was a HEAVY GRADER on all projects and homework simply because she goes over the homework and projects in the lectures she also is very understanding.

A great humble person, Financial Accounting is hard if you're behind! She is always having tutoring services and they're really helpful, don't be afraid to ask for help! She is really nice and approachable

Great Professor who cares about each and every student. Her lectures do move really fast and if you don't read the chapter the night before you will automatically be lost. Moves through slides and tells you to go back and look at it if you didn't get a chance to write down. Also offers additionally studying for tests which help ALOT.

Although it is true that she teaches very fast, she still explains the concepts very concisely and clearly. Serrato is probably the most helpful and caring teacher from your options. Show up to class, there are a lot of clicker questions. For exams there are a lot of resources on blackboard that help, it just requires a lot of time to study.

She is very nice and caring! Yes she does lecture fast, but that is because there is a lot to cover and she does provide lots of time outside of class with her to review. She is straight forward, nice, and strict on her class rules. She is easy to talk to and not intimidating. You will need to study out of class, but that is because it is ACCT.

show up to class.

Dr. Serrato is an awesome professor who truly cares about students passing! She does sometimes rush through the powerpoints, but these are honestly not so great. She does it to focus more on the practice problems that help on the hw & tests. Through the semester, she offers multiple review/catch up sessions outside class & is really understanding.

Dr. Serrato is a great professor and really aims to make sure that her students understand the material . The lectures do go by pretty fast and can be kind of overwhelming but she is always willing to answer questions. There are clicker questions everyday which is part of your grade. Do the homework and pre-chapter assignments, they help out a lot!

Financial Accounting is not an easy class for most. You have to put the work in to get an A. Dr. Serrato holds extra study halls before the exams and really cares to make time to ensure her students understanding the material. Veteran Friendly!

Serrato is a great professor. She gives tons of reviews to help study for exams. Accounting is not easy but it is possible to get an A if you put the work in. Start studying in advance for exams and do all of the assignments/homeworks. The class is fast-paced so a lot of outside work is needed. Pretty sure she's the best prof to take for ACCT2331.

Professor Serrato's class is very lecture and homework heavy. She explains everything well and has study halls before exams. I got an A by just showing up to every lecture and doing homework. I did pretty well on tests too but the tests aren't difficult if you attend lectures, do homework and minimally study.

She is a solid choice for this course. I was good at accounting so i didn't have any issues getting an A but she did go over things that students needed help on. The course material is the same for all professors for this course.

Professor Serrato was a good professor to learn from. She makes sure that everyone understands what's she's teaching before she keeps going. This course is challenging but the A is highly doable if you truly work for it. I struggled but in the end studied and read the book and was able to get the A. Reading the book helps with the homework

Man Darlene Serrato. Honest to God really appreciate her. She had problem shells that she did at the end of every class and man those really helped. Her group exam reviews also really helped. She's really caring and helpful and is good at explaining the problem. My friends and I had different professors and I ended with an A, they ended with a C+.

I am so grateful of Darlene Serrato. I ended with an A, which is the highest grade you can receive. Im tasing managerial right now and I'm struggling without her. She always explained things so well.

She is a really good professor but the class itself requires work. If you read the textbook before coming to class and do what she asks of you in class, you should be good. An online quiz and homework for every chapter, one project, 2 tests, and one final. Her reviews are really helpful, do those before the tests! Clicker questions for attendance!

very kind

GOAT. Her lectures are going over the exact exercises we'll need for HW and exams. Make sure to read the txtbook ch BEFORE class though to understand concepts, if not you'll be lost. Serrato has these ch shells/MC's which are by far the most useful material of any acct proff to study from. Very sweet and nice woman, by far the best choice.

There are prechapter questions you have to answer before the lecture about the chapter. Polling questions almost every lecture that are a grade. Homework is time consuming but not hard and you get 2 attempts and only need 70%. The tutors are very helpful. 3 accounting cycle projects and you get 2 attempts. 3 tests and a final.

I liked Prof. Serrato's class, but I mostly relied on the PowerPoints to help me understand the coursework, I never did problem-shells, but the PowerPoints combined with her going over the same PowerPoints in class helped a lot.

Accounting overall is a difficult course, she goes over the powerpoints and all the information is posted on the blackboard page. Aslong as you keep up with the due dates, do all your assignments on time and STUDY for exams and I mean STUDY you'll do fine in this class. Her criteria is well outlined with use of mcgraw hill.

Dr. Serrato is an exceptional Professor. Her teaching methods made me minor in Accounting. So this tells you that shes effective. Grading is straight forward total of 423 points and 300 points for 2 midterms, and 1 final. The final will replace 1 low midterm grade or missed exam.

Very kind professor. Lectures are primarily doing practice problems. A lot of times it feels like you are filing in numbers mindlessly, but she will take the time to answer your questions. Sudden sharp curve in difficulty after Exam 2. Final isn't cumulative but it covers twice the chapters of past exams, w/ lots of equations to memorize.

There are lots of equations you need to memorize for exams in this class. Since the exams are mostly problems, learning the equations will get you good grades. Just like ACCT2301, they give out VERY GENEROUS CURVES on the exams, so just do your best. Her lectures are not too special, but the problem shells help a lot when doing your hw.

She's a great professor but accounting is boring. I had her synchronous online and she did zoom polls for a grade (accuracy & participation).11 Homeworks & Prechapters, 3 Accounting Cycles, 3 exams, and an easy Data Analytics project (copying info). Doesn't post recordings but previous year's lectures are available. Study to pass. Curves exams!

The professor was really nice, except her lectures can be a tad boring. Overall, the class was very straightforward and easy to understand if you read the textbook and do the homework. Class attendance is mandatory for polling points, which really help your grade. Final replaces the lowest exam grade.

I love her!! She explains all the concepts and problems in detail. It is impossible you wouldn't understand those problem shells after she shows the steps of each example in class. The tests are not hard as long as you go through problem shells in class with her. I would take her again.

Fairly uneventful class. Lectures are dry, but aren't lengthy enough to be considered boring. Course content can be difficult to grasp as it relies heavily on memorization. Dr. Serrato is easy to reach outside of class and responds well to questions in class, so really nothing to complain about.

Test can be difficult as they are on lockdown, HW on cengage with unlimited check my works although the hints aren't that helpful and the HW can get confusing if you don't read. Test will be over concepts and formulas along with math. Showing work grants credit for question even if the answer is wrong. Test aren't cumulative. 3 test and 12 HWs

I took her and ended the class with a B. You need to put in the work if you want to pass but she creates exam reviews that are similar to the exams. The homeworks were a lot and that's the only thing that was time consuming but overall, she is pretty caring and is a good professor.

Dr.Serrato is so sweet, accounting is hard but she gives you everything you need to succeed. if you attend class, and do all of the work you will be fine.

Accounting is always gonna be a little difficult for someone who is not great at math (me). Serrato is an excellent professor and overall the class was good.

Took the class in Spring 2023, 3 exams in lockdown (no webcam), 7 homework and she averaged your lowest grade test with the highest so you get an overall curve for the lowest test score out of the 3. The class itself is easy, so I do not think it matters what professor you take. Everything is online, so you don't need to go to class TBH.

assignments are mostly online. There are two tests and the final one is cumulative, I think that was the most difficult but nothing crazy. she gives BIG curves on exams so you should be okay. she uploads all the lectures on canvas for previous years so attendance isnt really mandatory but she does have some days where she just answers questions

The tests were tedious to complete considering all our work was to be shown/typed into the text box. Homework is time-consuming but all the materials are posted on Canvas. Just do all the practice problems and look at her exam review cause they are similar to the exams. I took her asynchronously and it was fine just to keep track of deadlines.

Summer session: There were 3 exams (100 points each) and 8 homework assignments (68 pts total). It's a test-heavy class with few assignments. I didn't attend live lectures but used notes and PowerPoints to study. She requires showing work on exams, which can be tedious, but she gives points back if she can see your mistakes. I self-taught a lot.

. While I personally loved and exceled this course, I do understand why others might have trouble with it, but that was because of the amount of formulas/concepts you need to know for the exams. In my case, I found the teacher very helpful and I liked how well this class progressed. She also did several reviews right before the exam.

I love her she is so nice and sweet and very understanding. The material is hard, especially at the end of the semester, but she was great.

Serrato is a professor who cares about accounting and her lectures make it obvious. She posts notes over every unit on canvas, which was a tremendously helpful resources. Assignments can be a bit much at times, but nothing that can't be managed. She uses polling questions for attendance and tests are curved.

Serrato's the sweetest professor. She's always willing to help if you ask, especially since her lectures can move quickly. There are three tests, two with 25 mCQ and 5 SRQ, and a final with 30 MCQ and 10 SRQ. Each chapter has homework, but it's pretty easy if you keep up. There are also short attendance quizzes every lecture.

Dr. Serrato is quite caring and is always willing to answer any questions you have about the course and material. The lectures are face paced with lots of materials so be sure to stay on top of things. There are attendance quizzes and no extra credit is given.
