She's very clear and concise when she lectures. Challenging tests though

She's very nice, and helpful! Just pay attention in class, take good notes!

If you KNOW how to do the homework, the tests will be easy. And she's very nice

The best accounting teacher at CSUF

She is hot

shes the best accouting teacher. take notes and read the book. she goes over a lot of problems in class. grades on a curve.

She is a great professor. Very helpful, and takes the time to explain problems that students don't understand. She speaks clearly and is super nice. Just take good notes and you'll do just fine in the class

Mrs. Tarantino is a very cool teacher. She is very helpful on any questions that you have on the material, she goes through the homework problems, the quizes are straight forward and she doesn't pull any hidden punches. Also, she is hot as hell.

take her enough said.. shes very nice and teaches very clear... friendly curves too .. i took her class and got a B thanks to her curve or who knows what i would have gotten.

She is a totally nice professor but her test are really hard.

Had her for both 201A and 201B. She grades on a great curve. Very helpful and nice. Great class!

easy class just show up listen

Huge class curve. With out it I would have recieved a F, but I got a C...just go to class and try.

Do your HW, take good notes, don't skip class, and pray that the class does horrible on the exams. Nice teacher with an understanding curve.

Great teacher, she's hot too.

Ms. Tarantino is beautiful and intelligent. But the exams are EXTREMELY HARD! The class average is an F.

Shes a really good teacher. Take notes, read the book, and go over the exercises. An "A" is possible.

Probably the best accounting teacher I have ever had. Take her, she actually teachers and cares about her students. Test are hard, but they are supposed to be, they're tests people.

she is a nice teacher. her test is hard for most of students. but i feel is not hard, it should be called "tricky". You have to be very careful on the test in order to avoid mistakes. but she gives a lot of curve, 80% is an A. 65% is B. so overall she is good.

class is challenging, but she helps you out.

She's a nice teacher. Expect weekly quizes, a group project and a BIG curve. I don't think I would have passed if it wasn't for the curve, I got a C. Overall a great teacher that creates a great enviroment. The subject is not as easy as they say though. Don't realy too much on the curve.

Really nice teacher. Gives good examples. Her group project is a joke! really easy, but the subject is not easy make sure you do well on her exams and weekly quizzes.

Great teacher! She's very easy to understand. Lectures are vivid and clear to comprehend. I would recommend taking this professor. The class consists of exams, group project and weekly test. She gives out EC if she notices that few people are coming in class.

Accounting isn't a class you can just walk through. I disagree with previous comments.She is a very nice professor and will help even those with dumb questions in class.Curves every test but it all depends on the class.During class she goes over the problems(most assigned as HW, which really helps.)Study chapters on your own.Final project is easy!!

she is a really good professor, she goes over the exercises 1st so you know exactly what the text takes about. You do have to read the chapters on your own like any other ACCT class. I think the reviews below are these two guys that were in my class who didn't do that well. Repeat review to bring her review down. Take her she's really nice

I loved this teacher. She is very approachable. one of those teachers that i can go back to even now. During her lectures she breaks everything down, and she will answer any questions. Her exams are not easy, but there arent any surprises. I didn't even buy the book. And i never did the HW. Just take her quizes seriously and take good notes.

If you don't know anything or just a little about acct. you should take Kim Tarantino, I had her class MWF from 8:00-8:50am and when I finish that class I felt like I know everything about acct. A great teacher to start your Buisness Degree/Minor/ or even a GE.

I dont understand how some students can rate this instructor as less than Great!My question to those students Have you taken another acct professor better then her?She cares enough to spend extra hrs of her own time after class answering qs. Thats more than I can say for the rest of the instructors.If you want to learn and pass acct take her.

Great instructor. She gives quizs that test your knowledge of the concepts. Class is very streight forward. I had a great experience but I also read the book at least once and did the problems

Delivers course material very well. I would take her again.One of the better accounting professors here at fullerton.

One of the Best teachers in the business depatment, if you don;t know acct. don't worry she will teach you every thing in a snap. VEry Organize and her exams were cake even if you do not buy the reqiered text.

She is a nice teacher. She knows the material well, but she teaches too fast and you will still be responsible for the material in the tests. Her quizzes are hard and they are worth a big part of your grade.

Outstanding Instructor! One of the best CSUF Accounting Department has to offer. You must read the book and to the problems. This is a very difficult subject! This instructor does do some very kewl things on blackboard to help you out. If you think she was hard take Seth or Fleming! next semester. If you want to pass accounting 201B take Tarantino!

I don't regret taking her-she explains,helps and cares about her students if you show interest.BUT let me tell you something:If you guys don't posses "SIMPLE CALCULUS,FORGET ACCOUNTING and study BIOLOGY!" That is where the problem is-not at Prof. Tarantino!

SHE IS A VERY NICE TEACHER. TEACHES YOU HOW TO DO THE CALCULATION PROBLEMS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THE TERMS AND DEFINITION YOURSELF. CURVES REALLY GOOD!!!

Very nice prof.

I took this class a while ago, but I thought that she was a really nice teacher. More personable than most accounting teachers. I would recommend her. Take advantage of any extra credit opportunities.

Good professor, and will help you to be a good student. and yes, she is hot.

ummm basically yeah she knows her stuff, but is horrible at teaching it to you, she skips doesnt go through the chapters of the book at all, she only teaches you from problems in the back of chapters, so read the chap. b4 you go each week. 10 quizzes 3 test a drop in each. Very unorganized and she is late to class so youll get out 5-10min late 2

People say she is the best Acct teacher to take and I agree. She curves very well. Make sure you study all vocab and formulas. She goes back and forth sometimes & the last couple of chapters are not explained at all! Project is easy. Tests are pretty average. She makes you interested though!

Very very friendly great professor her tests are hard but she gives a great curve at the end of the class. I took another professor for the following course and wish I never had she was the best accounting isn't exciting but she makes it better.

Great teacher. You have to do your part, too! READ THE BOOK and you'll be fine.

She doesn't take attendence but I'd reccomend showing up. You can tell she's a cpa because she is well dressed and knows her stuff. The tests are hard but her curve is beautiful. I would pray to her curve if I could.

What an amazing teacher! She is an extremely intelligent professor. In regards to her lectures, she is concerned with really understanding and analyzing accounting rather than just memorizing some formulas. I took her for 201A too. You will gain so much knowledge from her classes!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Honestly, she can be quite confusing during her lectures. If you use the free WileyPlus software that comes with your book purchase, you should do fine; it basically sums everything up in a manner that isn't hard to process and regurgitate for an exam. Other than that she was a really nice professor, I wouldn't mind taking her for ACCT 201B.

Actually READ the book (easy read), show up for class and do the problems. Her lectures are extremely helpful if you follow the book. 85%=A! One of the better professors at CSUF.

Professor is very nice and will help if you ask questions. Subject is hard but prof tries to clarify it. Must study from book & notes. Tests are a bit hard so studyy. She ends up curving final grades...would recommend

Had her for both 201A & 201B. She presents material very clearly in her lectures. Did not read book and ended up with an A & B. Highly recommend her!

The best accounting professor. Take her!! Go to class and pay attention to lectures and you will get a B. She makes the class easy to understand and goes over material slow so you understand it.

Very good teacher, that made a boring subject seem interesting. The department requires a cumlative final, she gives 6 exams but drops the lowest 2. The book is the best tool in this class since I got a B, and no need doing the homework that is not collected.

Professor Tarantino is a really good accounting teacher. It is the subject that is hard for most people. She curves the tests which brought my grade up to an A. My only complaint is the "mandatory problems" she threw at the class at the end of the semester that were very time consuming. If your taking accounting take her, she makes it interesting!

Nothing but nice things to say. SO kind and helpful. The material is not easy but she is a GREAT teacher. 6 tests (drops lowest 2) 1 final, and 2 group assignments. The class takes work but if you attend and actually pay attention, it shouldnt be too difficult. I would DEFINATELY recommend her!

accounting is a hard subject but she makes it fair..if you go to class and go over the chapters before the test you should be able to pass with a good grade ...i would defiantly recommend her over other professors for accounting...she drops the two lowest tests which really helps also

Great professor but difficult subject. I was doing horrible in the beginning bc. I was sitting the back of the class & almost failed 2 tests. I moved to the front afterwards and got a B on the rest. (luckily she drops 2 test grades!) She's very helpful, doing the practice tests at the end of the chp. really helps! ALL MC tests!

Yes she is a nice lady but she lost one of my exams but she is okay at explaining matterial. You definitely have to read the book if you want to pass the class.

Hands Down the best accounting teacher! If you cannot pass her class you should switch your major.

Take it from someone who had to re-take this class various times...TAKE HER. Grades FAIRLY,EXPLAINS WELL, AND IS VERY NICE. 6 test(drops 2)+ curves,2 group proj, mini writing assgnmts,attendance is essential. DIFFICULT SUBJECT FOR MANY. PROF TARANTINO UNDERSTANDS HER STUDENTS AND IS A GREAT TEACHER.

The class is very hard and she says that the first day of class. I recommend going to all classes and doing the suggested homework. She has 6 test and then takes your highest 4. The final is a department final, which everybody normal fails. But you try your best and she usually curves up too.

Tarantino is the best accounting professor in Fullerton hands down. The class itself is tough, but she is a consistent teacher. When you take her, she'll let you know what it takes to do well, and it is up to you to listen or not. 100% only take her.

nicest lady ever! really cares about her students. she won't put you to sleep like other accounting professors either. tests are tricky, but take her class its worth it!!

Professor Tarantino is one of my first accounting teacher who actually "WOW" me. She was very helpful and thorough in her lectures. Makes sure everyone is on the same page. Takes things step by step...if you dont do your job as a student then of course you are going to fail@!!..she surely does her job, so do yours...and dont be lazy.

Tarantino is an AMAZING professor. I have never had an instructor actually structure a class to help the students. She gave us 6 exams plus a final, but she dropped the lowest 2 and she curved every exam! I loved this class...in fact she made me want to become an Accounting major!

awesome prof. she uses powerpoint early on, but then goes to notes and quotes. her examples can get a little wordy and long but her testing is cool. she gives you 6 exams and drops the lowest 2. as far as i know, the only accounting prof that does this, which is AWESOME. highly recommended for both 201a and 201b.

She was so nice and easy to understand. I don't like accounting and she taught in a way that was easy (easier) for me to understand. She was helpful and likes her job. She has a good teaching style and is awesome!

She is a pretty good teacher. She goes over pp slides quickly but I mean you dont need her to explain texts to you. Its the numbers and exercises that are hard and that she actually goes over very clearly, several different examples. 4 hard tests, no homework. Curve was big. Maybe hw would help boost grades. Overall shes good Id take her again.

ACCT 201B - Managerial Accounting. First off, ACCT 201B is much easier than 201A. We went over power points in class and went through balance sheet and income statements. Tests were 50 multiple choice scantron questions, department final is really easy. Great teacher, wish I had her for 201A!

Kimberly is an outstanding teacher. Not only is she beautiful, but she always takes the time to stop during her lectures and asks if anyone needs help. The tests are fair and the homework assignments are helpful. I got a C in the class. SHE CURVES GRADES. TAKE HER!!!!!!!

I love Kim. She is a great professor and is very friendly. Her class is challenging, mostly because I struggle with accounting and finance principles, but she is willing to help if you ask. Test aren't too hard, but definitely put in the time to study. Not an easy A, just put some effort in.

Never was a big fan of accounting and I dread the topic, as I am finance major. She is a really good professor. Clean cut, responds to emails promptly, lectures on important material and very patient. Study the book and listen to her lectures carefully. SHOW UP TO CLASS because you get a weekly quiz on the chapter and those points add up.

Lectures consist of problems in the back of each chapter. Very helpful, since the concept is taught with example. I just wish she do exam-questions format more instead of book problems. Do your HW and the writing assignments. It will save you. Try your best on the 4 test, since they are shorter and easier than final. You can the bomb the final.

Professor Tarantino is your best option for 201B. But if you want to do well in her class, you need to read the textbook and understand how to solve each homework problem (also, do the extra practice problems that she assigns!). The only major obstacle you will encounter is that not much time is spent on conceptual foundations.

Wow, this class was a challenge! Reading the entire book is a must, because there are many things on the exams that she does not talk about in detail in class. The accounting part is all taught in class, just make sure you pay attention. If you're interested in the entertainment biz, this is a wonderful class! Very insightful!

Definitely no room for slacking. Usually one quiz a week (4-5 questions) that is based off of either 60 slide PowerPoints or material from the book. I don't believe you can pass without reading the book, so buy it. Exams are multiple choice/TF/short answer & she doesn't utilize scantrons. Guest speakers were great. Participation is appreciated.

GREAT professor. Very helpful and completely approachable. I wouldn't have had any other teacher for this class!

She is an expert in the Tourism and Entertainment industry. Quizzes each week based on a chapter's worth of reading. Tests include multiple choice, truefalse, and short answer questions. You will need to study and read the chapters in addition to her slides if you expect to get anything above a B. Sometimes she gives study guides, other times not

First of all, you won't pass if you don't attend class. She gives one in-class quiz per week and doesn't offer make-ups of any sort. There were 4 tests and one final. They were all okay, not too difficult but not too easy. There was barely any homework--just a few connect assignments due the day of the exam and two written assignments. Take her!

Prof Kim is one of your best choices for 201B! Quiz every class, 4 tests, 2 writing assign's, easy online HW, and that common final! NO CASE STUDIES! She curved almost every exam! Her tests were a little hard and on the tricky side. All MC and a few computational problems. I plan on taking her for BUAD 360 for the E&TM program in Fall semester.

The class itself is pretty difficult but she curves the exams and the homework is easy. Be prepared to read the book and study every week because there is a quiz every week. Professor Kim wants her students to succeed and brings in real world examples to try to make the class more interesting. Take her!

This class was a challenge. Class is out of 300 pts. 2 Exams (50 pts each) and 1 cumulative final (100 pts). There are weekly quizzes, so do well on those since they add up. YOU MUST READ THE BOOK AND REVIEW THE PPT SLIDES TO DO WELL ON EXAMS & QUIZZES! Tests are a mix of MC, T/F, computation, definition, and fill in blank. She does curve exams!

Professor Tarantino is awesome! She really cares about her students and brings in a variety of guest speakers. Two of those guest speakers actually helped people get careers in their companies. She lectures well and I wish I could take more classes with her. Just make sure to study and stay on top of the work and you will be fine!
