Super cool professor. If you try in the class, the worse you will get is a B. He cares about his students. I don't like accounting, but I liked his class. He is always there to help is you need. He curves if need be. He is down to earth. Take him, you will not go wrong.

He is really nice professor. Each week there will be a quiz with open book. There will be some tricky questions so I highly recommend to read and understand the chapter. He review each question after the quiz. If you miss a quiz, you will have to do the final exam that might cover last two chapters, so try not to miss class. Do your best and believ

This professor is AMAZING! He is soooo helpful, charming, and super funny. He truly cares about your grade and wants you to pass. His tests are multiple choice (less than 35 questions) and he lets you use one sheet of paper back and front with notes and examples. He curves ALL your test drastically! I highly recommend this professor. Thanks!

He teaches at Nova, UM & MDC. He has his own firm and has a law degree. He's a smart professor and will explain all material needed. He allows a cheat sheet and usually curves the exams. 5 exams make up your grade and he takes attendance into consideration. The exams are from a test bank which is easier than a teacher creating the questions.

He will explain the complexities of the tax code from an accounting perspective, a law perspective, and a policy-making perspective. He knows the subject's ins and outs, and he doesn't get rattled by complex questions. Amazing

Professor Arritola is an expert in Tax Law and is able to explain it clearly. He is fair and impartial. He is also sensitive all types of students and treats students with great respect. There is a lot to be learned from Prof. Arritola - not only about law, but about being a really good human being. To me, he is a role model.

I cannot find the words to describe how wonderful he is as a person and as a professor. I can only tell you that I would take a class with him a thousand times, he cares about teaching, he is supportive and kind, he is always willing to help you. Your class is divided into 3 tests of 30% each and 10% attendance. This professor is the best!

Don't get me wrong, this professor is very knowledgeable at what he does and is very caring about his trade. Only problem I have is that he doesn't present that passion for his students and his classes come off as boring with some difficulty staying engaged. His quizzes are ridiculous easy to pass however. I recommend him if you're already versed.
