He's very good. If there's something you don't understand he will go over it until it's clear. His exams are multiple choice and straight from the lecture notes and HW. He tries his best to make it interesting. If u do the work and attend class u'll pass

Best professor at QC.You will learn a lot and it will pay off when you study for the CPA...as I am witnessing right now.He is vaery fair with grades and gives you what you deserve.So if you're not a lazy type and wanna work hard and learn a lot, take him.It will pay off in long run.Not that many prof care about students as much as Levine.

Very good teacher. He should be considering he is asst chair of dept. However, he arrives late to class regularly 10-20 minutes, gives no breaks even though it is a 2 hr session 2x per week. And also keeps you up to 10 minutes late at almost every class. So be prepared if you take his class. You will learn the curriculum.

This guy is VERY knowledgeable of the subject. He would be an better professor for those on the graduate level! Helpful headsup: He's already a CPA, he worked for Deloitte & Touche, and he is co-author for ALL of the a$$igned textbook$!!!

Don't take him unless you know ACC 101 and 102 material very very well. He is a really good teacher, but he assumes you have memorized all the previous material (and then some).

Not only is Levine a great teacher but he is a great philosopher, philanthropist and patriot. I personally witnessed him save thousands of American lives while utterly sacrificing his own.

Avoid at all costs. I got an A for the course but would never take him again. Not only is he extremely boring, but as everyone noted he comes late and we have to face the consequences of his lateness by having to stay longer PAST the already suffocating 2 hour boring lecture (again, with no breaks). And if you do take him, you better do your work

He is really corny and boring, but he is the nicest man you'll ever come across. He wants students to do well so he curves A LOT. 2 tests, HW, and two easy projects. He goes at least 10-15 minutes overtime every class so plan accordingly. Don't buy the GAAP book! He doesn't use it!

He is an okay professor. He looks out for his students and wants them to do well in the future. Sometimes he will not continue until everyone understands a topic but on other days he could care less about whether or not his lesson was understood because he wants to cover all the materials. Take him if you dare.

His lectures are confusing most of the time and his notes are pretty much not legible, but his slides are fantastic! He's a sweet professor always offers help just not during class..always go during office hours and he'll help. Two projects at the end of the semester which he practically gives the answers to one of them. Midterm and Final are MC.

He's a really nice guy, however his tests are hard. I studied hard for both midterm and final and I feel that I should've done better. 2 easy project worth 20% total. Curves a lot, weights tests depending on which one you did better

Only take if fresh out of 102. No review on tests or previous classes! Tests are HORRIBLE(Avg 62 + 15pt curve). Gives good slides. Tons of Ds & C-, but need C to go 202. Projects don't help you pass unless you're borderline C- to a C. Always 15 mins over . Study everything for test and know half of it will be there. doesn't tell u exact probs.

Well, 201 is a hard course and he doesn't make it easier. Tests are hard but if you understand the HW problems and exercises, you will do fine on the test at least in the MCQs that are mini problems and most of the test will be mini problems in MCQ format. Horrible handwriting, will have hard time copying from the board. Gives the ans to the HWs.

As a Professor he is decent; his lectures are long & he always try to keep you back extra minutes because he could never finish his lectures in the class time. You do have to pay attention in the class because when it comes to test you will over study if you don't know what he taught. He curves your exam grade depending on how the class do overall.

Always goes overtime; handwriting impossible to read; nice guy during lectures & the COMPLETE opposite during exams. A lot that he says goes in one ear and out the other because of the way he explains things in such an uncertain way. I would only recommend him if you feel you have a strong background in accounting. Curves midterm more than final

tends to go offtopic to talk about his dog or a colleague that passed away. gives you 2 projects, one where you can get the answers for during his office hours. Final 45% of your grade but if you do better than midterm its worth 55% . good luck

First midterm was based on the homework but final was out of space! His lectures are long and he goes over time. Didn't get to one chapter at all because of time. He's very funny! And lectures are interesting but you'll find yourself asleep. Horrible hand writing. Make sure to print everything he gives you it's essential to passing the class!

He's great. His handwriting is hard to read but that's my only complaint. He is a very fair professor and he's really nice. You have to put the work in & you need to make sure your accounting basics are strong prior to 201 otherwise this class will be really hard for you. I liked his stories & jokes they made class more fun. Would take again.

Professor Levine is the best prof. ever. ACCT 201 is sometimes challenging and he makes the best effort to explain everything until everyone understands. As long as you understand the homework you will do perfectly fine on the exam. Totally recommend to take him, you will have a strong basis for future courses and he teaches in a very clear way.

Really isn't that hard to begin with. Midterm and a Final. He explains the topic thoroughly but takes up too much time. As long as you study, the exams shouldn't be all too difficult.

very responsible professor, respected by students. He doesn't collect homework but he might randomly pick some and check them in class. He makes jokes all the time. Two exams, two projects, homework of each chapter. The second project is a little hard, but if you do good in exams, you'll be fine. Exams are fair.

He uses his deputy chairman position to make students retake the class by giving C-. I wish I knew that when I took him. I will be retaking this class again and for a working student in Queens college - not an easy task. He seems nice but he will not help you or understand your position, he will not allow u to take 202 without 201 min C grade.

If you truly want to be an Accounting major, he is the man it take. Students who wrote poor reviews are simply too lazy to work hard for an A and their poor work ethic will be reflected on the CPA exam. The class will be difficult but it is in any future Accountant's best interest to take Dr. Levine.

Best professor in Queens College. If you are serious about accounting or becoming serious take him. He shows his dedication to his students, which is rare these days. He might retire soon, but catch him for Accounting . Obviously you have to put in the work, and if you do he will know.

Very good at teaching but expects you to fail the tests. I got a 94 on the mid and he accused me of cheating. Then treated me like I cheated the rest of the semester. Overall, hes a good teacher but a jerk. When he handed back the test he didnt say anything to me but to any one who did well he said great job even though I got the highest grade

Very tough grader. students must read the book to understand the materila because whatever he does in class is terrible. he know the material of course, but the way how he teaches is the worst thing. always goes off the topic and too deep into details which is not mandatory for that level of accouting. tests are super heavy and too hard.

He's very caring and passionate. A funny professor who makes the class fun. His exam are hard because the material is hard. Don't miss class, don't sit all the way in the back and make him remember your name. Help with the projector and get extra point. You have to study for his class but he's amazing. A very caring and amazing professor.

He means well but he goes of tangent sometimes teaching us things that were supposed to learn in other accounting courses. The class itself is loaded with coursework & everything feels rushed. No extra credit opportunity & we left every single session later than we were supposed to for the entire semester. He's kind but poor time management skills

He is an extremely funny guy but when it comes to teaching he is definitely not the best. He gets off topic often and makes you stay later than your supposed to. There are two tests that are multiple choice which are EXTREMELY hard. He asks very specific questions and he covers a lot of material. ALSO, HE GIVES NO REVIEWS!!! Would not take again
