The class is pretty easy. Just go to all labs because you turn in assignmenst online that are easy. And try to make the lectures because he give 4 pop quizzes that are also easy.

The class consists of lectures and labs. The labs are easy and he tells you exactly how to do it if you ask. He doesn't grade them until the end of the semester so you don't have to do such a great job on them because he grades hundreds at one time. His tests are a little hard but they are from the book and he curves a few points.

A nice enough guy but not the greatest teacher. The majority of the class is reading cases, which are mostly interesting, and giving presentations on them. He doesn't really teach much at all yet the quizzes and exams are really hard. Not exactly clear on what he wants on them either, which is frustrating. Wouldn't take a class with him again.

Take this class with someone else. You will think you are doing well because you will do well on the project... but then you will get the final exam and your grade will be screwed because there is nothing you could have done to prepare for it. His lectures don't make sense.

If it was possible to give him a zero I would. Painfully boring and doesn't teach, just reads. Lets you out an hour early confused, and wastes another 20 minutes class time watching The Profit. Once he taught excel, and that you could copy figures on it using equal signs. Is this middle school computer class or an upper level Accounting course. F.

Romero was a nice professor, but the class was torture. He did try and help on the midterm and final by providing 9 questions and their answers that will be on them, but still hard. He chooses information you literally have to weed through the book to find, that aren't even in his power point. Definitely, recommend taking it with someone else.

STAY AWAY. He is the worst accounting professor I have ever had. His tests are impossible. 5 chapters covered by 25 multiple choice so you can imagine what kind of info you need to remember to do well. Projects are easy but mid term and final are impossible. I would take this with someone else for sure trust me.

Gives 3 pop quizzes with questions from the book which can hurt your grade. Attendance is taken and there are only 2 tests which are 25 questions. The final is tough but if you study enough you'll be fine. Lectures are boring and he gets off topic a lot.

Nice guy but AWFUL teacher. Please check portal diligently to swap out of this class. Lectures on concepts, watch The Profit the 15min, get out early every class. Midterm isn't even remotely close to what you've read in the book or class. Being given up front 9 questions & a 2 sided note sheet for a now 16q MC test speaks volumes about his teaching

Terrible, boring teacher. You learn nothing from the lectures. The pop quizzes are straight from the practice quiz at the end of the chapters. Long project that he never goes over once in class, so a waste of time. You think you'd do well since lectures are so simple and the quizzes aren't difficult but Exam uses Qs you never seen before in class

Not sure why people think he is like the worst professor. He gave pop quizzes more towards the end of semester. Just make sure to know when to skip class and when to not because never know when those quizzes will be. He was really nice. The only thing was the SUA project was so annoying. I spent HOURS on it but I did learn from it.

Jorge Romero is an odd mix of very easy and very hard. He is clear about the concepts and is eager to answer questions. He gave a study guide where questions were the same on the midterm, but also included questions with concepts that we had never seen or discussed in class. Attendance and participation are huge and count in the final grade.

Just don't. Attendance isn't mandatory but he gives pop-quizzes which are a major chunk of the grade. Lectures were BORING which made it hard to attend class but you still should. For one of the projects he posted the solution to BB before it was due so I just copied it. Gives 9 exam questions ahead of time so it's easy. I'll never take him again.

Truly cares for his students and wants them to pass. Quiet, nice, and well prepared of the subject. One midterm, 3 pop quizes, and a final exam. Pop quizes are based on practice problems from class and he drops your lowest score. I would highly reccomend Professor Romero!

He is reachable outside the class. It can be confusing at first but with the book you'll be fine. He throws a curve in the midterm, exams are multiple choice, quizzes are excerices discussed in class. He give you 9/25 answers of the midterm and final exams in advance. There is no way one could fail this class.

I took his once a week night class and we would always get out an hour early. Two exams and 3 pop quizes. Pop quizes are 30 points and at most 4 M.C. questions and he drops the lowest one. I got both questions wrong and he still have me a 17/30. The final was 25 M.C. questions and he put 10 of them under course documents with the correct answer.

AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COST IF YOU COULD! If you cannot get into any other elective accounting class, then this class would be your last choice. The things you learn in lecture are very different from what you will be tested. Unless you are a genius or are very experienced in accounting, then you will probably do well. Poor teaching style.

He really cares about his students doing well. Always lets class out early. Whenever teaching a problem he always writes it on the board in a really organized manner. He's a great guy. Make sure to study what you learned in class because you will never know when he gives his pop-quizzes. They are usually on what you learned in the class before.

I'm in the top 10% of my entire class but to do well in this class you need to either guess or cheat. It's impossible to actually study because he tests you on pointless calculations he never taught. After guessing on an exam, I asked him for help: his response was to accuse me of cheating (because I passed) and tell me to go read the book more.

I want to make it clear that his in class assignments are easy but his exams are designed to fail. Romero does the bare minimum to "teach" the course and gives a final exam freebee because he knows the exams are designed to fail. he will cover 7 chapters per exam and test you on questions that are nothing like what his in class assignments are.

You are not tested on anything he teaches. Almost entirely impossible to pass and he won't curve even though almost all the class failed. Material itself is EXTREMELY easy but he will test you on things not even similar to what he taught. Lazy professor and his only response when asking for help it to "keep trying your best". Terrible Professor.

Do not take this man at all costs if you can avoid it. He is NOT helpful, his first two exams are impossible and it's so bad he gives you an easy 100% on the final so students pass his class. This is a 300 level class that's treated like a masters level course. He does NOT even give study guides and tests are cumulative. I can go on and on. AVOID!

Jorge is so bad I had to come back and leave a review even though i graduated with my masters over a year ago. he structures his exams for you to fail, until the last one where he will give you the answers to a 5 question exam so you get a 100%. but by that point your grade with be a on the edge of a C or a B-. or for some a D to a C. avoid him

Final exam is 5 questions, easy 100, because no one would've passed. Most boring class ever, and I can confidently say I learned pretty much nothing. Waste of time and money.

If you care about your GPA, this class is a waste of time, effort, and money. How well you do is entirely dependent on the first exam, which (as other comments have stated) just so happens to be impossible to complete within 1 hour. It doesn't matter how much you study, there simply isn't enough time. If you've already signed up for it, take the W.

not the best, but not as bad as the reviews make him out to be. lectures are dry and uninformative, it's more helpful to just read the book. avg on the first exam was 55%, 80% on the second exam, then he gave a 1 question unproctored final + lots of extra credit so everyone could pass with a B. outside of the first exam it's not too bad of a class.
