A great instructor. Mrs. Tarrago is very eager to help with you with your classes, career, and personal life. She is a very great role model for those who need someone to look up to.
she's very clear about what she expects you to know. she's not difficult to talk to when you need to ask questions during and outside of class. she's excellent at explain stuff from the book to real life scenarios.
Great teacher! And not bad to look at!

Tarrago's a great teacher. She keeps the class interesting with her great public speaking skills, and her interesting anecdotes. She is very helpful, if you ever need something, she's there in a flash. She's not the easiest teacher, but you'll definitly learn in her class.
AWESOME teacher. Linda Tarrago gives her utmost to the class and is clear and helpful. I loved taking accounting with her.
Mrs. Tarrago is THE instructor for all your accounting classes. You actually LEARN something useful for your future and it isn't boring. Although, she is a very busy lady...she will ALWAYS make time for you if you have questions.

You owe it to yourselves to seek out one of the best professors in the state if at all possible. You will walk out of class actually learning something and saying to yourself, "now there's a REAL teacher!" Good Luck on your PhD Linda!
She is great! I suck at math but I got A's in all of my tests. She gives many examples and tries to make the subject fun. Many homework assignments and quizzes and a crazy project, but I totally recommend her!
She is the best teacher i have ever seen.
Tarrago is the way to go. She is one of the best teachers i have EVER had. Very approachable and will help you out whenever you need it. Some HW assignments and pop quizzes, but the real killer is "the project". She lets you work in groups, so it makes a big project pretty easy. An A+ teacher all the way.
Very helpful during office hours, study her lecture notes, it is exactly what the test is on.
Awesome teacher! I'd say the best I've ever had. She's caring and makes sure you're well prepared for each test. A+ all around.
i didnt like her at all. she thinks shes so smart and thinks shes helping us by treating us like babies. this is college not high school! treat us like adults and teach us. also, get a memory!
I took her for ACG 2021, ACG 2071, and now IDS 2110. I think she's an awesome teacher (or else I wouldn't have taken her 3 times). You can tell she really enjoys teaching and wants us to learn.
Good teacher. Took her for both financial and managerial accounting. Very helpful and willing to answer questions. Tests are pretty much verbadum from the lecture notes....make sure you study them. Quizzes definetely help out the grade, so make sur eyou do well on them...overall a pretty good teacher.
Tarrago is great! She's always there when you need help. If you go to class and do the homework you'll get an A.
Awesome teacher! I recommend her for any class she teaches!
Just wanted to add that she's the best instructor eva! Loved her classes at HCC, now here I am a couple yrs later w/ my B.S. in Acg- she is that good. Take her.
Mrs. Tarrago is a very good teacher. You cando bad on the tests and still pass her class....doesn't mean you can fail all of them though. Make sure you are in class for the quizzes and homework...brings up your grade. Do the extra credit. Always willing to help if needed. Goes out of her way to help the students. Definetely recommend!!
I took FINANCIAL and MANAGERIAL accounting.She is totally helpful always in her office.The project is a little hard for Financial, but I got through it just fine. Absolutely take her she knows her stuff. I got A's in both classes she is fantastic.
Extremely alwsome teacher. If you every have a problem she's very cool about it. Easy to understand from her teaching.
Great Prof! Made accounting really simple and interesting. I would recommend this teacher to anyone. Test reviews are excellent and are exactly what is on the test. Tells you what to study for the test.
Great teacher!!! Will help you whenever its needed. Highly recommended
Professor Tarrago is passionate and committed to teaching and ensuring that her students understands and succeed. Great Teacher. Must take if you really what to understand Accounting in its simplest form.
Taking this class is a MUST if you want to understand and succeed in business and accounting. Very helpful, accessible, easy to understand and always willing to assist whenever possible. She is the best accounting professor I ever had.
I took Prof Tarrago's class because of all of the compliments from this website. I was not disappointed. Great class, easy to understand, and Prof Tarrago knows her stuff. Tests were based off of lectures and lecture notes. For business majors, the best accounting professor at HCC. Take this class and you won't be disappointed.
Great Professor. Knows Her Stuff & Loves Teaching The Class. She Makes It So That Its Almost Impossible To Fail. Use Of Textbook Is For Hw But Is Also Helpful. I Loved The Experience In This Class. Good Luck!
Homework, 3 exams, 1 project, 1 optional final and mandatory attendance. Big project was confusing and was not explained well, but the exams were not that hard b/c she tells you what types of problems will be on the exam. The main thing that I would complain about is her helpfulness, did not help when confused and takes a long time grading
Comes across as elitist and looks down upon anyone not interested in business/ accounting as a major. Talks too much about trival matters. When I grow up and succeed I hope I'm not such a know it all as she is. Don't take unless you have to, otherwise you'll be BORED TO DEATH or made to feel STUPID!
great teacher! i had to drop the class at USF and got an A at HCC. Didnt use the book at all..everything you need to know is in her lecture notes. TONS OF EXTRA CREDIT! tests are straight from her lecture notes. I wish i could have taken her for managerial also.
She is an awesome teacher! I took her over the summer and i thought it was going to be really hard but i got an A! definatly take her if you have the chance. everything is straight from her lecture notes. I am def. taking her for managerial next semester!
She is a great teacher and I enjoyed taking her class. Although she is not the easiest teacher out there, you will learn a lot with her. It is very helpful that she was lecture notes; it saves tons of time and makes following along much easier. Just show up, do your work, and you should have no problem getting an A.
I took her for Financial/ Managerial after hearing everyone fails these classes at USF. If you want to really learn, take her. She can be boring but at the end of the day it will be worth it. Test from notes, no book, quizzes, some homework, and one major project. She's the best at it, a little bit tough, but you will learn. Got A+ on both classes!
very good, very fair professor. i would not describe her class as easy but she does a great job explaining the material and is always available to help. i would take her for any class she teaches. she really cares and gives every opportunity wanted for extra credit.
AWSOME teacher! She has a great teaching style and always keeps you involved and doing group work to prepare you for quizzes and tests. I recommend her 8weeks back to back courses. Going to class is very beneficial. If you go to class you should have no problem getting an a or b.
She is the best,she is not boring at all. Financial Accounting is a hard class; however, her teaching methods are incredible. She even made us play bingo one day, and we saw the same questions on the test. Tests are not easy, and they are long, but the exercises are the same ones we have worked on in class.TAKE HER 7 WEEK CLASS. LOTS OF XTRA CREDIT
She is a professor you will thank yourself for taking. She is passionate, knows what she is talking about and makes herself readily available to help you. She makes class interesting for every type of learner, where you can work with other students and amply what you have learned to real world applications. Just follow the notes guide and show up.
Great teacher, very helpful. I took the 7 week financial accounting class and learned a ton. You definately need to go to class everyday because there is always a quiz and class project. There is a lot of HW but it doesnt affect your final grade too much. I would reccomend taking her class.
GREAT teacher, loves accounting, and is funny and has great energy. TONS of HW, but I took the 8 week course, but it's not that bad.
I took the 8 week course for ACG2021 with her. Since its a short course be prepared to do A LOT of homework. She makes the class fun and there's lots of extra credits and group projects. She does exam review with clickers. The mid term and final is based on her lecture notes so really study those. I'm taking Managerial 8 wk next. Great teacher
Tarrago kept it real. She basically hands out A's for hw, quizzes, class projects. Stay on top of those and start studying the lecture notes hard a couple weeks before the exams. Dont miss class either.
Excellent teacher
fast paced and easy to comprehend. she is too hung up on helping people. if you don't ask for help, she takes offense. but if you walk up during the test and ask her help, she will show you how to do the problem. every assignment is a group project. if you are a strong student and refuse to carry the slackers/morons she will dock your grade.
She is very knowledgeable in her subject. Her teaching style is very fast paced but she is extremely helpful. If you don't understand something, ASK, otherwise you will fall back very quickly, making it more difficult to understand later. Lots of homework but also lots of extra credit opportunities. I wish all instructors were like Ms Tarrago.
Tarrago is a great teacher :) she is well organizes and her hw and quizes that she gives are very easy, exam problems looks just alike as in your lecture notes. No point of having a book we never used it.
Had her for Finanical and Managerial Accounting. Very good teacher. Class is not easy and there is a lot of homework and projects. She explains things very clearly and cares about everyone doing well. For a class as difficult as this one, you won't find a better teacher. A lot of extra credit offered.
The class is very fast paste, there is a lot of homework and pre quizes. It is very time consuming but the teacher is excellent and will help you as much as you let her. She gives you many chances to bring your grade up and makes the class as interesting as she can. She is amazing and I will take her again for managerial accounting.
The class is fast paced only 8 weeks, but for the limited class meetings I feel I learned a ton. You have prequizes due online before each class, HW, and in class group quizes and individual. All are very beneficial and when you pay attention theres no way to not make a good grade one of the good teachers at HCC I am taking her again for managerial
She is an excellent teacher. She will make sure that you undersatnd. Attendance is not mandatory, but I would reccomend it:)
Professor Tarrago is the best IDS Professor at HCC. She connect her students to real life service. I would recommend Mrs. Tarrago to anyone that is taken the exist course
Professor Tarrago is one of the best professors I've had in my three years at HCC!!! Very helpful, cares about her students. I'd definitely recommend her!!
Great Professor I'd recommend her and attendance is mandatory it's only an 8 week class so it's very fast paced but, she does care for her students and helps alot.
She is nice and helpful. the exams are easy. Just study, will get an A
Great teacher!! Loved her class!! She is very helpful and understanding. She won't move on to a new subject until she knows everyone gets it.
great teacher!!! one of my favorites. very helpful and you'll actually learn in her class. lots of extra credit and many opportunities to earn a good grade.
She is excellent. She loves the material and knows it very well. She helps a lot and take care of you. You'll have to do quizzes, pre-quizzes, homework, and projects but is very interesting. Only 8 weeks and you are done.
Wonderful teacher. I took her online course this summer. Be prepared for LOTS of work. Emailed me back quickly every time I had a question, very helpful and wants her students to get an A.
Best accounting teacher!! I took her 8 week class on campus. You need to go to class and put in effort but if you do that you can get an A. There are no surprises on her tests, she tells you exactly what you need to know and what you need to study. I will be taking her 8 week course for managerial accounting
Awesome teacher! Met her once in my life on an optional orientation before an all online class - crystal clear guidelines, made this boring stuff amazingly interesting and it was actually a pleasure (first time in my life) doing homework. Was an easy A for me. No problems with anything whatsoever. Take her, she's great!
She was upsettingly useless this semester in managerial accounting, I really liked her financial accounting course but managerial was sort of a disaster. DO NOT take this course online. It was really hard. She did not bother to check your assigned projects at all. You just got whatever she gave you at the very endafter 2 months no response to email
Expectations were clearly stated in the syllabus and emailed questions were answered promptly. There was a delay in grading the first project and I still don't know what I got but lots of Extra Credit Opportunities to boost up grades. Online quizzes and homework due weekly helped keep procrastinators (like me) focused.
I took her 7 week online Financial Accounting class during the summer, it was pretty straightforward. Although I do attend UF, so this was much easier than that I received an A, the final is online and if you don't understand anything just google it. Lots of extra credit.
She is a very opinionated individual. Sarcastic. When she tries to give examples to simplify concepts, she makes it more confusing.
I took Prof. Tarrago for both Accounting classes and I absolutely loved her! Her lectures are very clear and the workbook that she made for the class helps immensely. She even helped me out with a personal financial issue I had, she's very helpful and nice and I wish she was at USF so I would be able to take her again!
Great teacher and very smart, one of the smartest I have had. For basic financial accounting, no way I would take her again. VERY HARD CLASS. The class project for semester (cybertext) very difficult. You have 2 tests that are 60% Class average 60% or lower! Thats absurd. usually 1 or two LOW A's, with half the class with F's both tests.
Her online course was not very well laid out and any attempt to reach her via email was in vain. She's not a bad teacher at all, I just wish I had known what was expected of me more. Don't take her if you work and want extra credit. Any opportunity for extra credit hours were between 10-2 on weekdays.
Took 6 week summer course, would not recommend it. Course layout was inconsistent as far as due dates were considered (quizzes due before homework for the specific topic) and the lesson plan had you jumping all over the book from one topic to the next. The midterm must also be proctored on campus which wasn't disclosed until after the course began.
She goes ONLY by her notes sold at the bookstore. The only thing you use from the book is the access code for HW and pre-quizzes, which are very time consuming but at the end weigh very little towards your final grade. Mid-term and final compose most of your final grade. Took too long to give us grades for exams & projects on both: ACG2021 & 2071
Jumps from chapter to chapter, syllabus has the wrong pages to read, lots of homework and quizzes that don't weigh much. The bulk of your grade comes from the mid-term, project and final exam. Proctored mid-term that wasn't disclosed until after class started. I had to take time off of work to take it, which was the point of taking an online class.
I'm a straight A student and I will probably not get more than a C in this class. Her class is not well outlined. If you take her online class, you are on your own. She bundled 2 modules and the final exam for the end of the term which doesn't allow for much study time especially since I'm taking 3 other classes. Do not take her!
Tarrago was amazing ! I took her 8 week financial and managerial accounting class although I was hesitant to do so. Im glad I did I knocked out both classes and got above a C in both. Be on top of your work and youll do fine !
She is an amazing professor,but her exams are so fricken hard. Takes forever to email, i took her for managerial and financial accounting and kinda regret not taking them online. she is def a good teacher but it was very hard for me to follow her lectures. this is a very tough subject, i felt that she just assumed that you already knew the subject.
She is a terrible teacher for this course. I was confused through out the semester. She goes too fast teaching and leaves you lost. Not enough time to understand in 8 or 12 weeks.
I love raquel salazar
I am a full-time online student and this is the one class that information is difficult to find. Prof does not list grades on Canvas and you will lose points if you ask what your grade is. I am very organized and have good grades, but it feels like this professor wants to make it difficult to do well. Just make info clear and accessible, please!
Okay listen up people, this professor is not good as the rate professor showed. Please read this rating, I swear her works are not organized at all. And for the book, it is useless because you could find the answer online for the pre-quiz. In class, she never goes through all the vocab which appears in the TEST. Beware Cybertext project. Goodluck!
If you're going to choose Tarrago, I recommend in-person. I took her online only, and I am just lucky she outlined everything in the syllabus properly. I have a strong feeling she would be more beneficial in person! Big project at the end but follow her deadline suggestions and you'll be finished a month before it's due.
Professor Tarrago is an amazing teacher. If you are going into the Accounting / Business field do yourself a favor and take her courses. She is so knowledgeable and relates the information to real-life situations. I am so happy that I took her, she really is such an asset to HCC.
Overall she is a horrible professor, the main portion of your grade is based off the exams, doing the tests and homework assignments raise your grade by .03. Your exam is worth over 60% percent of your grade, so I recomend that you don't waste your money by taking her class. She in no shape or form helped me to improve my grade, was told good luck.
Overall, she knows what she's doing and seems very passionate about accounting. The only problems I had were how fast-paced she went in class and confusion on what specifically to study for exams because we were given about 20 pages of notes each one. Exams are really difficult, but if you work hard and do a lot of extra credit you will pass.
The first Professor ever who im writing a review about. Before this class I had straight A for more than one year, and I got a C with her. DO NO TAKE HER. Her exams worth 50% of you grade and she puts 140 questions on your exam , I was dying to seat for 2,5 hours , impossible to concentrate for that long. She replies to emails for few days. AWFUL!
Almost done with her class. I took both 2021/2071 and honestly she's just not a good professor. She goes on rants about her life rather than teaching. She "wants" you to ask questions and ask your neighbor but when you do she makes you feel stupid and nobody in the class wants to help you. Be prepared about her talking about the good old days.
The teacher gave assignments at the last minute and expected students to turn in on time, even with those who just registered and did not know anything. The teacher is awful
