He is a very monotone guy. He explains once so be sure you understand the first time around. He is very hw oriented. If you don't do the hw you won't pass. His class is boring but easy.

This class is not too difficult if you listen to every word he says and take good notes. Don't buy the loose leaf, the textbook is much cheaper on Wiley to rent and it is the same thing. 90% of your grade is based on the exams, all the content is told by the professor, if you skip class, you will fail. Do homework's, they are the exam open ended's!

Lipari is a great prof, and his class was quite easy. If you took accounting previously, this class is a breeze. If you've never taken accounting, it will most likely be fine. He gives good lectures and usually lets class out very early. He only has a few quizzes and a few exams. He is a VERY lenient grader and he curves grades WELL. Take him!

I really liked him. His lectures were short and to the point. He usually lets you out early. Quizzes were straightforward, and the tests were hard if you show up to class. Definitely take him.

One of best ACCT professors at MSU. Would absolutely take him again. 3 tests which curve which are hard if you don't study your notes and hw. If you study you will pass. Also, gave a 5 page paper to boost you grade up. Take him !

This professor was great and you should definitely take him! He will always tell you exactly what will be on the quizzes and always gives an overview of what will be on the exam. Just show up to class and make sure to take notes. He also lets you leave early most classes and goes through the lectures pretty quickly.

Overall a great professor and straight forward regarding what he expects from his students. Attendance is necessary as everything he goes over ends up on the test. Only con is he has a very monotone voice, can be difficult to follow along at times.

My favorite professor hands down. As long as you go to class and take notes on his lecture, then study the notes a bit you should do decently in the class. He also tells you what to study before the exams. He is super understanding and kind as well. Take him!

Very straightforward professor. Lecture heavy, but if you pay attention you should have no problem passing. He gave a huge curve on each test, and prepares you sufficiently for every assignment. Do the homework, go to class, it will be easy.

Honestly not a bad professor at all, 3 exams 50 MC questions, (he did curve my classes tho bc we all had like 50/60s before curve) and one 15 page paper, but if you take notes all semester long its so easy, just basically a 15 page paper of the stuff you learned all semester. Would take again, he does take attendance but you can def skip classes

Lipari's class is pretty straightforward. Attend lectures, take good notes, and utilize resources like the textbook and Unstuck study to prep for exams. He's a lenient grader who curves well. Overall, a solid class to take.

3 quizzes + 3 exams with 50 mcqs. He tells you exactly what's on them and what to study so it's hard to not pass. 7 page paper that is also fairly easy. Each exam is worth 20% of your grade, each quiz worth 5%, and the paper worth 25%. He grades exams on a curve. Attendance is not mandatory but he bumps you up a half letter grade if it was good.

I had heard many good things about LiPari, but honestly I was really disappointed. He barely teaches in class. He says everything once and then expects you to remember it for the test. He goes over the bare minimum in class and then the exams are in depth. The only reason people do well on the exams is because he curves them.

Professor gives you the foundation for what you need to pass his class. It is up to you to take home the material, read the book, and apply it in class. You are graded by very few things so each class is a foundation for the next class. He is very kind and understanding and while lectures can be boring, he will make sure you understand.
