Spends way to much time going over the homework. Knows his subject well but you basically have to teach yourself from the textbook. I recommend tutoring if you have him as a professor.

Homework is important since it helps to understand the chapter. He is funny and very knowledgeable. I wouldn't trade him for another professor. By the time you are done with one chapter you would know exactly what's coming on the exam. He is very organized. Pay attention to what he repeats.

His class is a lot of work but if you put in the work you will get the grades. If you read the chapter once and pay attention you can easily get a B or higher. A lot of the questions on the test are really easy if you read the book and most the questions only have two possible answers. He prepares you for the work load of a 4 year school.

Frank Navas was an excellent teacher of accounting. He had so much knowledge on the subject and did a great job of teaching it to his students. One thing that stood our was he never collected any homeworks. They were only there to strengthen your knowledge of the material. If you applied yourself in his class there's no reason to not get an A.

Professor Navas is perhaps one of the best professors BMCC has to offer. Although his exams are tough, they are very fair and accurately reflect what you have learned in class. When you don't understand something, all you have to do is ask and he'll go out of his way to help you. Highly recommend for both 122 and 222.
