Good Professor, cares about students and is always there to help. Gives study guides that help you study for every test. If you know the study guide, you know the test. Overall good professor!!!
Good teacher, explains material well and is always willing to help. Tests are all multiple choice and pretty easy if you study the study guide he gives you.
Mario is the man. He goes throughly and classes go by extremely fast and never last the entire period. First effective teacher I've had in a while.
Professor Perez is one of the best professors that I have had at the University. He is extremely nice and efficient. His classes never takes up the whole class period, and you definitely learn the material. There is one large Cybertext project, and Prof. Perez divides it up and helps you. Take this class! Prof. Perez is the man!!!
Best teacher. He gets straight to the point and doesn't take up much time. He tells you exactly what to expect for the tests and they aren't bad.
Prof. Perez is one of the best teachers ever! I have taken his ACC 212 and ACC 311 classes. He is extremely efficient and clear. Additionally, he is a nice guy. Take any class that he teaches...it is well worth it.
take him for acc 212. he knows how to teach. he is very clear and direct in his teaching; he doesn't lag or drag. this makes it even easier for his students to learn a lot. he usually finishes early and then uses the remainder of the time meeting with students that are confused or need help. his 3 exams are mc based on lectures and handouts.
The best accounting teacher by far!
Take him. Even though he teaches early, worth getting up for. Best professor i've had at UM so far. He's nice and funny. Always lets out early. Tests are fair. Go to class and you will succeed. Don't take anyone else.
Awesome teacher! He explains the material very clearly and gives you practice problems that are very similar to the tests. Never takes up the entire class time. You don't really need the book except for the homework he assigns. Take him if you can!!!!
Really clear and an awesome guy in general, his tests have a couple problems and then 30+mult choice. The tests combine the text and class notes so you need to go to both, but he tells you exactly what is on the test so you know what to study.
He is by far the best accounting teacher in the business school. He actually explains everything and tells you what to expect for the test. The material is still difficult for Intermediate Accounting but having him as a teacher makes the class for more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
Goes over everything that'll be on the test the class before. Notes are really helpful and make it so that you don't have to read the book much.. easy tests, I def. recommend!
He is the best accounting teacher at UM! he is funny which is great cos sometimes the material could get boring. 3 tests and a final. very helpful and he's very hot! love his style! def recommend him!
Amazing teacher! He makes everything so easy to understand.Tests are easy if you study your notes. Class is mandatory but he doesn't take attendance. He always lets his classes out early.TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!
Professor Perez is a great teacher. Explains things in detail. If you do homework and attend class you should do well. I took 211 and now I am taking his 311 class in the summer.. He is a 10 as teacher and in good looks! :)
ok heres the deal: He is an amazing teacher. Very CLEAR on the material, very engaging and lets you out early a lot of the times, plus basically no h.w. and hes funny! PROBLEM: his tests are VERY long. People in my class rarely finished, theyre not hard, but LONG, think: 100 multiple choice and 5 Short answers. You will feel very stressed on tests!
LOVE HIM! he is the most amazing professor i've had at UM. i took him at 8am m/w/f for 212 cause i loved his 211 class. attendance not mandatory, but hes so organized, helpful, makes complicated concepts super easy, and always lets class out early. you're dumb if you don't take him. makes you do the least work possible to actually know the material
Go out of your way to take him, even if that means an 8am class. He covers only what you need to know for tests and always let us out 20 minutes early (in a 50 minute class). His tests are extremely long and no one ever finished on time. They are not too difficult though. Don't need to use the workbook, barely used the book. Rarely gives homework
Perez is the best teacher I've had in my life, and makes accounting interesting. His tests are easy, but time is an issue. I wish he taught more subjects, because it's impossible not to learn from him. Taking his morning classes is worth it, and he almost always lets out early. Take him no matter what, for 211 and 212.
People say hes a great professor and to take him but DONT!!! hes very good at explaining the material but his exams are VERY long and very HARD. He builds you up to break you down. He may be a good teacher but his class is horrible. You will not get a good grade in this class unless if you study for about a week before the test.
Class is easy but the tests are LONG. No one ever finished on time (especially the second test). Dont use the book and when he assigns HW, he doesn't collect it like he says he will. Make sure to do the building blocks project through out the semester and not a week before it is due.
Great teacher and a good guy. His lessons are very clear and he makes sure everyone understands. Don't underestimate the difficulty though; you need to read the book and do all the practice questions to earn an A - and of course go to class! But Professor Perez is always willing to help and is super patient if you need help.
One of the best professors at UM! He is very easy to understand and tries to make class more interesting and he always lets us out early. Tests are not easy, but they really are not that hard. He tells you exactly what will be on the test and how difficult the problems will be, so as long as you study 2 days before the test you will be fine.
by far the best teacher at UM. everything he teaches is straight forward and clear. he let us out early everyday and is always available to help you. he sometimes gives an easy problem for homework but doesnt collect it. he always goes over what will be on the test question by question. good guy
Take Perez if possible! His tests are not easy, but he's a great professor. Always playful in class & doesn't take himself too seriously. He's passionate about Accounting & a very smart guy. Always willing to help students in need, & is lenient & understanding w/ his assignments. He's not out to get you
Took him for Financial Acct for Lawyers - Fall 2011. He's a top tier graduate level professor, period. He's not easy, but he's crystal clear about what you need to know for the exams, he's excellent at communicating the subject matter, and he'll help you as much as you need. Quirky sense of humor kept class moving along. Awesome guy.
One of the best teachers I've had at UM. Extremely nice, always lets you out early and is very clear with the material.
Best Teacher ive had at UM, take him for ACC211
Professor Perez is great! Although I feel that the first test that we had was too long, it is possible to do well in ACC211 if you put in the effort. He teaches the material very clearly and effectively, and he is the perfect teacher for ACC211 since he knows that basically all of the material is new and unfamiliar. He made me love accounting!
Awesome professor! he makes everything very easy to understand but keeps the class challenging. An A can be achieved with effort for sure
Perez is definitely one of the best teachers at UM. He is very clear during his lectures and tells you exactly what will be on the test. Just study your notes and you will get an A.
Definitely one of the best teachers I've had. He's incredibly organized, and he explains very clearly everything you need to know for the class. He's also very efficient- we always got out of class early!
Explains things well. Very organized and thorough. Laid back guy, but test can be rather challenging. But you really have to study hard and practice using examples that aren't just based on concept. Timing on tests are a problem too. Not an easy A, but who knows, you may do better than me. Not sure how much he curves (haven't received grade yet)
Perez is awesome, best professor at UM. Very nice and helpful, not afraid to have fun and joke around, but he still gets things done. Very organized and clear, classes usually end early. Exams are very long tho, time is your enemy. Not a lot of notes, textbook used for homework only. excel project is not very difficult and he will always help
If your looking for a 3 1/2 hour final and memorizing endless amounts of notes from every chapter testing to see how much you can cram in your brain for a week and forget shortly after then take his class. Very difficult class, good luck getting an A.
best ACC profesor ever! explains very well and is very easy to understand. makes the subject easy and not boring. the only down side is that his exams are very long so you have to work fast but everything in the exam is covered in class.
Best ACC professor you'll ever find. Writes on the board exactly what you should write down for notes. Makes jokes all the time, and is always available for help whenever you go by his office. Hard final, but other than that it's a good class.
Best accounting professor i have had at UM. smart, straight to the point. Test are simple. He give you all the notes you need.
Super cool guy. Always willing to help you out. Lectures aren't the most interesting, but it's accounting. Not much to work with. I didn't buy the book and I was fine. He assigned homework out of it, but never checked it. I'd def take his class again.
Clear and concise. He makes accounting entertaining, which is hard to do. He tells you what you need to know and provides you with many examples that are similar to the tests. I highly recommend him.
Best course in my entire undergraduate degree hands down! Professor Perez is very knowledgable when it comes to the course materials and his lectures are actually fun and stimulating. He teaches real world applicable information in a very relaxed and easy to understand way. I would absolutely take a class from him again, he's an amazing professor!
great professor. great guy. class act
BEST ACCOUNTING PROFESSOR AT UM! I can't believe he made me like Accounting differently from my professor in ACC 211. TAKE HIM even if his class is 8 AM, he is soooooooo worth it!
His class is not very hard, but if you need to know the handouts very well. Attendance is not mandatory, but highly recommended. He is always willing to help you. The only thing that I do not like about this class is that he does not spend enough time to explain the concept behind the numbers. But overall a great professor.
Great professor. As an accounting major he moves a little slow for my taste, but non-major students would love him. Cancels class sometimes so show up to know when you don't have to be there
Great Professor
Pretty clear lecture and love him so much
very clear lecture and really easy
He is very patient and nice. He goes through every detail about things you should know. You only need to be there and take good notes, exams will be piece of cake to you.
Perez is the man. He takes his time going over material, but covers everything you need for tests. He assigns easy homework that is useful to go over before tests. The tests are easy because they are exactly like the problem sheets that he goes over in class. If you follow along in class, it's an easy A and actually very valuable material.
Great professor who makes all material easily digestible and interesting. Everything you need to know comes from class, not the terms in the textbook, and his homework is helpful in preparing you for exams. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. The only challenge for some people is that his exams are time consuming.
He is cool I found his tests to be time crunched which really got me on the first one. He repeats himself a lot which is confusing if you catch on quick to things. Apparently, Accounting 212 can be your butter or lemons, so study to find out.
Mario was awesome! He's really fair with grading, is an entertaining guy, and really understanding overall and he tries his absolute best to help you succeed, so if you don't do as well as you wanted, it's really all on you.
Mr. Perez is the best professor I've ever had. Do not think before taking him, his lectures are entertaining and he knows what he's teaching. Exams are not so hard and if you ever need help he will be there for you.
Financial accounting was extremely difficult for me so going into managerial I was nervous. Professor Perez has made this class incredibly enjoyable. He gives tons of example problems in class which he bases the tests off of so its easy to follow. Make sure to attend class though because he really breaks it down and explains everything.
Best teacher i have ever had. Definately take him over anyone else
Tells you exactly what's on the test and explains it well in class. If you skip the lectures you won't get the handouts which makes the course alot harder than it needs to be. Overall a really easy course if you just show up and take notes
Take him if you can!! He's such a great professor, his lectures are super clear and he keeps you engaged. The tests are based off what he does in class from the worksheets and on the board so as long as you study that, you're golden. Not a lot of homework. He's really funny and easy to talk to, I would definitely take him again!!
Hands down best professor.
highly recommended.
I took acc212 with prof Perez. He is an excellent teacher, he explains all the chapter very well. Always willing to help and make the class interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but you shouldn't skip class because every class we work on a problem. Tests are hard, be sure to plan ahead to study and re-do all the HW exercises.
Professor Perez is really good at teaching accounting, he provides very clear explanations on how to solve different homework and exam problems. If you go to class you will learn a lot of the accounting basics used in business. I found the course very useful.
Perez is a great teacher however this course is very hard, you really have to know the material for tests because they are tricky.
Best teacher, take him when you have the chance. Very clear teacher. Office hours may be packed sometimes, but worth the wait!
Weekly homework helps for tests. Overall great teacher, very personable. Natural progression if you liked Levine. 100% take him.
Professor Perez is by far one of the best professors at UM. Hes very organized and gives handouts so its omportant to go to class to get them! He makes the materials incredibly clear and easy to understand. Hes always willing to help and very understanding if theres a problem. Exams are hard but if you go to class and study you should be fine!
Best professor I had in UM Business School so far hands down. Not even close.
Awesome professor. He is always ready to help. He has a bunch of office hours and is excited to answer questions. Apart from that he is super nice and really wants you to understand accounting. He never uses power points which makes the class not be boring or monotone and actually quite entertaining. Its not an easy A unless you work for it.
212 with Perez was one of the easiest classes i've taken. He tells you exactly what you need to study for each exam and goes through examples thoroughly so you really know what you are doing.
Perez is an awesome professor he makes the class clear and explains what he is doing very well. In addition, if you don't feel like showing up he is available often for office hours. Before each test he tells you what problems to study. I would recommend taking any accounting classes this guy teaches you will get an A.
explains the material really clearly, we get out 20 minutes early every class and he cancels classes and I still learn more in his class than my other ones.
not a fan. His lectures are okay, but the exams are unforgiving because they are so few questions
If you pay attention in class and study a little for the tests, you should be able to get an A.
This man is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend him as a professor. He tries very hard for you to understand and grasp the material. As long as you pay attention and do your part he will always do his to ensure you succeed. I wanna take him over and over again.
Best accounting professor at UM! He writes clear notes on the board and does worksheet problems in class that help with hw and the tests. I did not do well in 211 but now I understand accounting so much better from taking his class. If you email him he will give you extensions on connect as well. Great professor!!
Great teacher. His lectures are very organized and he goes through all material in depth. He is funny and cares about students. The tests are much harder than 212 but if you go to class and understand notes you will do well.
Accounting is so boring but Perez finds a way to engage with the class really well. He's a great dude that rounds your grade up, especially if you go to office hours and class. I hope I am able to take another class of his in the future.
Professor Perez is hands down the best professor I've had so far at the University of Miami. If you go to class and pay attention / take notes theres no reason you won't get an A. He tells you exactly what is on the tests and what to study so that you understand it. His tests are difficult, but if you study you will get an A.
Perez is by far one of my favorite professors at UM. Accounting is not my favorite subject, but he made it enjoyable. He gives handouts and goes through them in class as notes, answers any questions, and is a great guy. Cannot recommend him enough.
Accounting is a hard class and perez is very clear in explaning everything. For my ACC 211 professor, we barely had any notes. Perez provides clear handouts for every concept and is always there to provide help. He is extremely fair and entertaining too.
I think Prof. Perez does the best he can with a difficult and boring subject. His lectures are engaging. The homework sucks (hint: it's all on Chegg) and the first test practically everyone bombs. Regardless, he is a helpful, understanding guy and if you pay attention you'll do well.
Great professor. Really explains things well and wants you to succeed. Do the homework and the tests will be super easy.
TAKE HIM!! Great guy. Super smart professor, and as he always says, how fun can accoutning really be? He makes it the most fun possible and makes every lesson as easy for his students as possible. If you have the opportunity to take any class with him do it. Hes not out there to mess you up like other professors. Mario is the man
really tries to simplify concepts, such a nice guy and accessible for questions, loved his method and worksheets, gives good examples
Great professor that gives nice clear lectures. Is not too difficult but if you don't go to class it will be pretty hard to pass. Nice guy that is always available for office hours and will give you good feedback.
Amazing professor, hes the best!!! All of his lectures are super clear and are saved on blackboard. He really cares abt his students and will give extensions if you need them. He is so nice and whatever he teaches in this lectures are whats on the exam and assignments. Hes always there to help and answers hes email quite fast.
Professor Perez is awesome! Accounting is not the most exciting subject but he made it enjoyable. Homeworks and quizzes are easy and test questions come from the homeworks. Definitely take him!
The most amazing accounting professor TAKE HIM. Such a nice man always helps you when you reach out to him and goes above & beyond to answer your question so you understand. He wants all his students to do amazing , this was the least stressful class I had all semester. He understands that COVID is hard on students and wants to help you succeed.
Perez is a great professor for a not-so-great class. He explains everything perfectly and puts everything up on Blackboard + organized! Definitely take him over any other professor
Prof. Perez is a great choice for accounting. I took him online, so I cannot speak for how he is in person, but his online class was a breeze. All of the tests were completely open note and he gave us plenty of time to complete them. He is a super nice guy and does a great job of explaining difficult concepts.
lets you make a two page cheat sheet to use on the test! super nice and approachable
Professor Perez is such a gem. Accounting can be boring but he keeps the class engaged and tells you exactly what you need to know (plus allows a page or two of notes during the exams). Absolutely loved his class, it is very manageable just make sure you study!
Professor Perez is not a great professor.
Perez was a great professor. He is a very understanding and nice guy, and you can tell he wants all of his students to succeed and do well. The homework is all on connect, so it's easy. Building blocks project is a bit of a pain but not terrible. I would definitely take him if you can.
Best professor I've ever had. He could explain accounting to a rock.
Perez is a very nice guy. However, the exams are pretty difficult and everyone bombs the first exam. His lectures are important because he gives worksheets similar to the exams and tells you which ones will be on them. Homework is easy and cybertext is fine. He did curve the class at the end and notices when you put in effort.
Tests are just not like homeworks. BUt hes really cool guy and I learned lots through his lectures, more than with levine.
Difficult course but hes willing to help you
If you have to take ACC211/212 take Perez. Exams can be tough but he tells you the writing questions that are on the tests. Super easy going, and attendance is not mandatory but definitely go to his classes or else you'll probably fail.
Perez is an amazing professor! He is very lenient and understanding. Just going to his office hours does lots for you, especially when you need help on the projects and tests. Take him!!
Look Mario Perez may be a good guy but as a professor, I believe that he makes his class so hard. The exams are nothing the like the practice problems which are the only things he provides for us to study. The class average for most exams was in the 60s and 70s and he makes all his exams super hard. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
Professor Perez is an amazing professor. Yes, his tests are EXTREMELY difficult, but he wants his students to pass and do well. Please go to his office hours, he will explain any question you may have. Although his tests are very difficult to pass, he is excellent at teaching. As long as you do your best and show you care, you will pass.
Tests are blank unlike other section who have easy multiple choice. hw takes hours and so does the project.
There's no reason an accounting professor should be funny, but Professor Perez manages to be! You can get a good idea of how his class is from the other ratings, but here's a quick rundown: HW is manageable (takes time though) and tests are surprisingly difficult (redo the sheets he gives you to do well + slight curve at the end of the year).
Coming from someone who dropped accounting with Levine and thought I would NEVER understand accounting, Perez is amazing. Go to class, listen, and ask questions and you will do great. Homework is annoying, but it's really all you do outside of class. He's so nice, explains things thoroughly, and I now actually understand accounting for got an A- (:
He's great at explaining accounting, but his tests are absolutely insane.
The most amazing professor I have had at UM. I am convinced he can explain accounting to a 3 year old. Tests can be long and tedious but he tells us exactly what is coming so once you prepare you will do well. Extremely helpful in his office hours as well with anything you need help with. TAKE HIM.
Prof. Perez is an excellent Accounting professor at the U. His exams are difficult however, if studied ahead of time, 90%+ on each is possible. Connect assignments and the Cybertext project account for your grade and he checks for completion. He is very accessible and asks many questions; there is no reason you should fail!
Perez does his best with a course that can get really tedious. He has great sarcastic humor if you're into that. Exams aren't as hard as the other reviews say; if you just study you'll be fine. If you don't study, no way you will do well.
Professor Perez is great and a really good lecturer. However, if you don't go to class you will not do well. He doesn't post lectures so unless you get notes from someone you will be lost if you don't go. With that said, if you go to class and study before exams there is no reason you shouldn't do well. Homework and cybertext are easy points.
Attendace isn't mandatory but I would recommend heavily since he has a good sense of humor and everything he says will be important. He wastes no time lecturing, and is very engaging. Homework is weekly and is easy; cybertext is very clear when working on it. Exams are tough, but just attend lectures and take notes. Allowed a formula sheet.
Solid accounting prof, makes lectures enjoyable, try to participate during class. Make lectures entertaining, do the homeworks, and make a good cheat sheet for exams and you will do well. Will def take him again
Perez is a great teacher. Explains everything very clearly and will answer questions. If you want to get a good grade, you NEED to go class. He does not waste any time and lectures for the entire duration of the class. First test is definitely the most difficult because there's so much content. Homework and cybertext project are annoying.
Everyone bombs the first exam. Make a great formula sheet and study the handouts carefully. Professor Perez is the BEST Accounting 212 Professor. He is a cool guy who makes lectures entertaining, and clearly enjoys teaching. There are some professors you must take at the University of Miami and Professor Perez is one of the few that exist. 20/10!
One of the best business school professors and will be taking again. Very clear with what will be on exams, and you actually learn the material instead of just memorizing and forgetting it later. Lectures are very clearly organized and enjoyable. Often leaves time at the end of class for questions, additional help, or to review exam questions.
nice guy but makes tests wayyyy to hard
Nice guy but genuinely just fills the first test with information that he never references in class or on the homework with the intent for you to fail. Class average was a 60.
10/10- you get cheat sheets and he's lowkey funny. Nothing negative to say
Prof. Perez is pretty great. In lectures, he is extremely slow and detailed, which helps if you are not understanding. Exams are very reflective of the work in class. Don't forget to start your cybertext a lil early. He is funny, gives good real-world examples, and is very accessible outside of class.
Great guy and great prof. Easy to start skipping classes but you'll save yourself time going. Exams are 100% based on the handouts. Make a good cheat sheet and you're good to go.
What an amazing professor. I learned SO much and he knows his stuff. I will miss his tax class.
Made me reconsider if I should do tax instead of audit. I really learned a lot about tax and he presents in an interesting way. Spent a decent amount studying and I think that pays off
Perez is an engaging professor who makes lectures enjoyable. Attend class, do the homework, and use study tools like ChatGPT and unstuck ai to prep for the tough exams. If you put in the work, you'll learn a lot in this class.
SO AWESOME, straight to the point, goes quickly but kindly answers Q's, we leave like 20 minutes early every time. Notesheet front and back for the 2 exams not sure for the last one yet. 1st exam was so hard, 2nd was way easier and straightforward. 10/10 would recommend super friendly and supportive of students
With out a doubt one of the best proffesors here at UM for accounting. He makes it very easy to understand liek very easy. Everything he has on the test he gives out in practice worksheets. Super nice and chill guy. Cancels class alot and most of his classes he only goes for half of it. You would be stupid to not take him for accounting 212
He's a cool guy, but exams are super hard and not curved (class average on first exam was in the low 70s). He gives out handouts every class which would be amazing if the content of the exams matched the handouts. Content of lectures is not posted anywhere expect for blank copies of the handouts.
Professor Perez is an awesome teacher! He's always available outside class and his lectures are engaging. Attendance isn't required, but going to class is necessary to pass. Homework is easy, exams are hard, especially the first, but study and you'll do well. Also slight curve at the end. Put in effort, show up, and you'll get a good grade.
First test is hard try to study hard for it and do as best as possible. The next two tests are much more reasonable. He does round the class at the end of the class as a result of this. Do the rest of the assignments and should be fine. No mandatory attendance but hand outs are only given in class and he does teach well so i recommend go to class.
i would 100% recommend professor perez!! he made acc 212 very clear and easy to do well in. You definitely need to study (especially for exam 1), but he is such a great professor and really tells you exactly what you need to know for exams. he is also always available to help after class!! take him!!
I enjoyed this class and the material, but exams are tough, probably harder than necessary.
Never ever left a bad rating for a professor in my entire life ever. He ends class early, and explains the concepts in his handouts but then completely tricks you on the test and throws in questions that are hard to understand given he never really goes over any concepts in his class.
Perez really cares about his tax classes and students. There is so much information and rules for tax that it can be a lot at times. I highly recommend knowing the problems from class for the exam to do well. The course could probably be a bit easier, but its probably for the best since most are accounting majors who are continuing with this major.
I took the 3 hour class. Professor Perez is very caring, made the class engaging and let us out early. Exams are based on worksheets and notes. A little difficult but very fair if you study the worksheets and make a good cheat sheet. He is also always willing to help in office hours. Very funny and makes the class enjoyable. I would take it again.
