Coletti is one of the nicest professors you'll meet, always willing to help. The subject material is naturally complex and hard to comprehend. Pop quizzes usually once a week with 2 exams. Quizzes and hw are worth the majority of the grade so as long as you're constantly keeping up with what's expected of you to know this class won't be bad

Tax is a very confusing and subjective course that Coletti manages to make even more confusing. Going over accounting problems verbally in class probably isn't the best approach, but he's too lazy and unwilling to do work to actually write out the problems. You'll get a lot of pop quizzes and two virtually impossible and incredibly subjective tests

Coletti is a smart guy, but teaching is not his forte. Class structure consists of a pop quiz every other class, homework every class, midterm, & a final. midterm & final are pretty tough & count for 50% of the total grade. Quizzes are 45%. There is no way to do well in this class without doing every hw, studying every night, and reading the book.

To those saying that Coletti is not a good teacher, you are wrong. As long as you don't skip classes and you actually pay attention, it is easy to get a good grade. The quizzes are not difficult, the questions are exactly related to the homework/lectures and they are even open book. As long as you are not a lazy student, then tax is a great class!

Coletti is a really cool guy, and hes a good person to get to know well. Tax is hard, he assigns homework often and even though he doesn't check if you do it, you should 100% do it. He doesn't always explain things well and his office hours are always busy so definitely keep up with the work on your own. There's a midterm and final and pop quizzes

Prof. Coletti is very nice, but his lectures can get dry. He shows a decent amount of documentaries about actual fraud cases which are interesting.

I enjoyed taking this class and would again. He lectures the entire class, but he does go over packets to review. All the work is online, except a few tests.
