Eric is a great guy and professor-extremely intelligent. Course has 2 pretty hard exams, a non-cumulative final, 10 in-class quizzes (lowest 1 dropped) and about 5 take-home readings/problem sets (lowest 1 dropped). SUPER helpful in office hours & posts all of his lecture PPTs online. Textbook is not used. Really wants you to do well-but hard prof.

Really cool guy, but very hard class and EXTREMELY boring lectures which I am sure isn't entirely his fault. Weekly quizzes are challenging, but manageable. Weekly homework assignments were fine until about halfway through the semester where the homework did not relate to the notes at all. So pretty much have to google a lot.

Great professor for such a hard subject. Makes sure that you have all the tools to succeed. Managerial Accounting as a subject requires learning a lot of the material outside of class as is, and he does a good job of teaching as much of it as he can. While the lectures can get a little boring at some points, its because of the material and not him.

He is a cool guy but a bad professor. He barely teaches the content in class and then expects you to complete difficult homework assignments with only one very basic example shown in class, and then he claims that the content is "so easy". You basically have to teach it to yourself. Wish I could have a better experience in this class.

Dr. Marinich tries to come off as the young, "chill" professor, but he was the worst professor that I have had at Miami. His lectures are fine, but do not align with the exams, quizzes, or homework. I had to teach myself everything and the class average on all three exams was a high D. A horrible experience, a low grade, and not much takeaway.

Take Marinich if you can. He cares a lot about the subject, but also knows not everyone is an accounting major and teaches everything in a way that isn't too technical. He lets you use note sheets on quizzes and exams and he does a great job of providing lots of resources to study with. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK, exams are all from in-class lectures

I really liked him personally, but the structure of the class needs to be improved. Some teachers think that making homework optional leads to improved results. Unpopular opinion, but it's the opposite. Students tend not to do optional things. He needs to expect more from his students.

Great personality which makes lectures easy to get through but he will not hold your hand you have to show up and do the practice problems and review to do well even though there is no graded homework

One of the most caring professors I have ever had. Eric went out of his way numerous times to ensure his student's success. Personally, a lot of work outside of this class was required but I do not believe that to be the common consensus

Marinich is simply OK. ACC 222 is just a GRIND from start to finish with material being taught up to finals. I would say take him, but just get ready to take exams and quizzes that are extremely long and are meant to trick you. My biggest suggestion is to take notes on the powerpoint before class because he will rush through it during class.

Beware of these reviews, a lot of the students are lazy and do NOT put in the adequate amount of work required to succeed in this class. Marinich is great, he has made this class extremely easy. One class is a lecture and the second class period is the quiz, if you do ALL of the practice problems and ask him questions you will do well in ACC 222.

No grades in class so if you don't do good on exams and quizzes, your grade will likely plummet. Funny professor but expects you to know how to do everything in 2 days and then have a quiz every week.

Go to class even though its lectured. The exams are very hard. Its hard to know what to study because theres just so many study guides that it could be any variation of a problem. So much material it gets mixed up and just isn't very clear. Theres like 50 different things a single question could be asking for on one single topic. He's a great guy.

Marinich is fine. He does truly care about his students. However, he will make claims in class that he will not try to trick you on the exam. Do not believe that at all. He totally tries to trick you so I'd really pay attention to what he says. He's nice enough and he's pretty lax. But watch out for the exams.

Amazing professor, really cares about students. Knows his class is hard but wants to help. All studying material is old exams, so it is easy to be prepared successfully. Go to his office hours and he will love to help!!! Not much work outside of class. It is a hard class but Dr. Marinich makes it easy to want to out in the work.

Professor Marinich is really good. He is super caring and nice to his students and really takes the time. This class is very hard, so I recommend you attend every lecture. There is no homework but there are attendance quizzes that he has in class that he will give you the answers to. If you don't attend class, it will really affect your grade.

Dr. Marinich is very passionate and caring towards his students, and he is also very engaging during lectures. He offers lots of opportunities to interact with the material, and the course page on canvas is very well organized. While exams are challenging, there are lots of resources to prepare for them and he is always available to talk to.

LOVED his class! ACC is kinda boring, but he made sure we were well prepared on exams and always gave us freebie questions. Weekly online quizzes are sometimes annoying, but help you stay on track and prepare you for the exam. The people saying he's hard aren't paying attention or studying! Very clear what's on exam and lots of prep materials!!

Lots of homework

Best professor I've had so far at Miami hands down. Engaging lectures, quizzes and attendance are free points (this could change), but prepare to spend a ton of hours preparing for exams. He sparked an interest in the subject for me, I can't promise he'll do the same for you but I can say he is the best professor to make this subject tolerable.
