Save yourself the aggravation. In a 6 week class he gives you 24 homework assignments, also 2 other huge ones that are 20 pages each, and you also need 15 lab hours. You have to write everything by hand before you can type it in. He'll criticize you even when you get an A on a test. He goes to quickly through the power point.

I do not recommend this professor. You might work on one chapter for a couple of weeks and then another chapter the next few weeks. He likes to cram a lot of information into one class.

Professor Borges is great. He is really smart and he really knows what he is doing. He pushes you to participate and do good in class. Works all the exam problems in class and tells you exactly what will be on the test. I got a B but I failed 3 exams and passed the final and make up exam. Definitely recommend him! Hes great!!

Mr. Borges is a caring man with a very calm demeanor. When it comes to online homework, he is understanding; he will reopen assignments if you ask him, and is just a phone call away if you need him. I had him MWF from 9:00-9:50. I suggest taking shorter classes so that you can better absorb information. Overall, he is the best hands down.

I failed a accounting class before and I can tell you, its NOT worth taking any other accounting teacher. This man hammers home the concepts, but on top of that makes his tests easier. Multiple choice is a god send for accounting. Cengage is the online work, which sucks terribly, that program is antihuman. You wont regret taking him, I promise.

Very enjoyable class. Gives tons of extra credit to cushion your grade. Half the tests are multiple choice which is really helpful. You can learn a lot from this course if you pay attention and put it work. I almost gave up hope on accounting before I took his class in the summer and ive taken him every chance I get, totally recommend him.

okay so most reviews here are completely bias because he puts on the nice guy act. i understand that. but to be completely honest if you are planing on taking his short class do no take it. why? he goes to fast he doesn't finish the chapters the way he explains is confusing and misleading. he is going way to fast.

Homework does not correlate with exams, we are graded based upon four tests. Rushes through chapters and gets lost in what he says, thus needs to repeat what he is saying constantly. Expects you read, does not know how to teach, you will be more frustrated with attempting to pass the class versus actually learning.

There's four exams, which includes a final, and there's also an optional make-up exam to replace the lowest test grade. All of the homework is on Cengage. For each homework less you hand-write, he gives you five extra credit points.

He requires students to arrive 15 minutes early for attendance and keeps the class 30 minutes after the scheduled time (for a 3-hour lecture). He randomly calls on people and expects full attention, which can feel intense. However, his tests are fair and not too difficult. He's nice overall—just be ready to participate often.
