Really good teacher, explains everything clearly. Test are easy, just study and pay attention. Do not miss any class.
Attendance is a must! Professor Cavalaris covers a chapter per class and gives thorough explanation for all material discussed. Students must be prepared for class. Reviews for tests are given and tests are easy if one studies. Wonderful teacher, friendly, and cares about students progress
This professor is awesome!!! I had her a while back for ACG 2011 or something like that and recently had her for acg2071 in an online course. She is very thorough in class and very organized and considerate online. Either way, you can't go wrong...just pay attention and do your reading before each class to better understand the material.
Took ACG 2021V ( virtual college) with Prof. Cavalaris and it was a great experience. Everything was explained in the syllabus and the calendar was up to date. Study for the final.
No NO No
She is to lazy and likes to scream to much. always in a bad attitude.
Great Teacher....I'm taking her class online and at first it's a little hectic but after a while you get the hang of it. She's nice and her communication with e-mails is great!! HIGHLY REC.
This class was awesome. I love Prof. Cavalaris. If you want to become successful in life, she is the way to go!!!
This teacher is great. All of her classes fill up quickly. I was hoping to take her for another accounting class but I was too slow. All of u people stay away from this teacher until after I finish my accounting classes. She has too many students waiting to take her classes.
THE WORST TEACHER EVER...........IF YOU WANT TO FAIL OR TO PLAINLY NOT LEARN ANYTHING GET HER. SHE HAS A REAL BAD ATTITUDE EVERYDAY IN HER CLASS. SHE CRITICES OTHER TEACHER BUT SHE CANT TELL THAT SHE IS THE ONE THAT SUCKS.IF YOU ARE ENROLLED IN HER CLASS DROP HER NOWWWWWWWWWW GET PROFESSOR BORGES HE IS THE BEST. IM SERIOUS WORST TEACHER EVER.
TEACHER WITH A REAL BAD ATTITUDE THE CLASSES ARE THREE TIMES A WEEK BUT SHE IS SO LAZY SHE GIVES FRIDAYS OFF. WHICH SOUNDS GOOD AT FIRST BUT THEN YOU DONT ANYTHING FOR THE TEST BECAUSE SHE CRAMS IN A THREE LECTURE INTO ONE DAY. SHE IS REALLY HORRIBLE THEY SHOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO TEACH.YOU WILL SPEND A LOT OF HOURS AT THE LAB AT THE MERCY OF OTHER
FOR AN ONLINE CLASS IS OK, BUT SHE PUT A LOT OF WORK OTHER THAN THAT SHE IS FINE
She is a wonderful professor! However, she will not baby you. You must read the chapters prior to attending class to have a clear understanding of the material. There are practice problems, which help you master and learn the material for the test. Tests are fair and reflective of material presented in books. Grades are based on EFFORT!
Great professor you earn your grade in class as long as you pay attention to lectures you should easily pass the course
Wrost teacher ever, lazy, mean, yells at you if you dont understand, cant get help from her never, if you take her drop her class horrible teacher, worst teacher of the year should go to her, waste of money to take her class, she is no help at all, if you really want to learn acg2021 take it with another teacher, not her!!
taking her online.... lot of work. i think she s ok i would recomend her for an online class.you have two attempts for each quizzes and she takes the better grade... the class is not base just on the tests....
DO NOT TAKE HER!!!..i took this class online BIG MISTAKE!she so rude and does not care about her student. if you need to take this class take it with another teacher NOT HER!!!!
Do yourself a favor and DON'T take her class! She is rude and does too much yelling. In addition, her teaching methods does not help students to easily comprehend. I recommend this class to those who already have an idea about accounting or if you are taking only one class because she works on a very fast pace.
Nasty, Nasty lady, rude, disrespectful, can not teach at all, yells at students, very disorganized, Miami dade is losing points with this lady, if it wasnt for her Union she would be gone in a heart beat.
She is a good teacher you have to study in order to pass, she provides students with all the materials you need, as long as you do homeworks and quizes and STUDY you will be fine i took her for both ACG 2021 and ACG 2071 i got and A in both classes.
Very difficult, and speaks to you in condesending manner, and I had a3.7 GPA, until I took her class online.
Bad teacher, very weird way of teaching, thinks she knows everything but in reality does not know nothing, talks down to every student, tells her students to drop her class, very lazy does not want to teach all the days scheduled, MDC has to get rid of her soon!!! Vote to kick her out!!!!!!
I took this class online and was very scared after reading comments on this teacher. To my suprise the class was great. The HW was difficult at times but was manageable. You had two attempts at each quiz so if you do your work you can easily pass. My final grade was an A!
Excellent Professor. I think most of the negative comments are merely because some students expect to sit back attempt no additional reading on the topic and pass this class. This is college, you want to succeed you need to study. Remember, she is preparing us for the real world, not just to pass an exam. Mostof the time, we get what we put in.
DO NOT TAKE
SHE IS VERY GOOD BUT DON'T EXPECT UR NOT GOING TO DO NOTHING ALL SEMESTER. GO OVER ALL HER HAND OUTS AND DO UR PEs. YOU WILL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!
Horrible teacher!!! I am taking her class online, you never know how you are doing in the class because she will never grade your quizzes/exercises on time, never answers your e-mails and you have no clue in the entire semester due to her lack of comunication!
not everyone has the capacity to do well in accounting so for those who dint it's because it's just not in you. you cant blame the teacher if you just dont get it.she's a great teacher who actually knows how to speak english and adds value to the class by not making it so easy that the f-cking retards get by. i assure u she is not ****- im black
Her test in this class is all multiple choice. You will probably have a bonus problem where you have to work from scratch with no multiple choice giveen. Like a financial statement or calculations of the problem. Only problem with her is her teaching vocab' is for accountants not students. Which means you have to read for yourself to understand her
She is a good professor and provides a lot of handouts that will help you for the test. This class is not easy, so expect to study...
I took this class online. OMG she's horrible! if we received 2 emails from her the entire semester was too much. She was always behind with the grades. Takes forever to reply emails. Does not update you on anything. Deadlines were very confusing. I think she goes on vacation when she teaches classes online and logs in once a month.
Online class and this professor is easy if you understand whats going on. Yes she do take a while to respond to your email but other from that everything is good. You get quizzes on each chapter and have 2 attempt highest grade counts, discussion postings, and assignments for each chapter with a final of 40 questions and have 3hr to complete.
I took her for lab, it was good, she just doesn't reply to emails promptly and doesn't report lab hours frequently.
shes ok but in order for yo to pass her class with a good grade do the all homework assignmnents and pass all the exams including the final i passed 2 of the exams and the final but the homework part i slaked off but i still passed the class doe so do the homework and everything else too
THE CLASS WAS O.
Very hard class!!!!! too much work!!!! You have to study very hard for the tests. I got an A but I ate my accounting Book! ....if you are not an accounting major dont take her!
extremeley easy class. i got an A with minimal effort. 3 tests and one final. trust me when i say the homework / practice problems are harder than the ones she asks in the exam. each test gives out 8-16 pts extra credit, and up to 12 pts in the final. do the homework and you should be fine, dont procastinate tho. extrememly helpful,when needed.
ONLINE CLASS. EASY CLASS. FIVE TEST & 1 FINAL. HOMEWORK IS ON CENGAGE-BRAIN, REALLY EASY. DO THE QUIZ BOWLS ON THE ONLINE LAB & PRACTICE TEST, WILL GIVE YOU ANSWERS TO THE TEST. GAVE US 3 WEEKS TO MAKE UP ALL MISSED ASSIGNMENTS.
I think she is an amazing teacher! It may be confusing when it comes to deadlines because there is a lot of work in her class, but once you understand what she is teaching then you will be fine. She goes over practice problems in class and even gives you a make up period. I recommend her to anyone that needs to take Accounting.
The online summer class was hard since you have to complete multiple assignments/quizzes each week.I read alot.Assignments and quizzes are organized with their deadlines. Online videos help but as a first timer in acg I had to work really hard.Lab is online. I really would have benefitted from a real person to ask questions.
Professor Cavalaris is a good teacher, gives you a lot of possibilities to get extra points. If you fail this class is because you really didn't put any interest in do so. Only thing about her, sometimes talk too much about irrelevant items, and when she realizes that the time is gone just rush the lecture and keeps going.
I took this class MWF, never met on Fridays, Wednesdays were for doing problems, and she would only teach on Mondays, which meant she would often teach a whole chapter in 50 minutes. You have to do 15 lab hrs. You have to turn in hw in 2 different websites and in person and 2 video reviews per chp. Extra credit/makeup offered. Hard class but doable
If you want to fail accounting, this is the right class for you. Lab hours never recorded correctly. Emailed professor 3 times during the semester. Never got a response, just an (F) on lab. Really bad communication.
Most terrible professor I have ever had. Not clear expects you to know it all before she has even explained anything. I''m a straight A student and I am failing her class. There is a reason your reading my warning. Pick another professor for accounting.
At first, I hated this professor. But as I started taking the class more seriously, I noticed it's really not all that hard. Just read a little before lectures and she explains and goes over everything. Her tests are also pretty easy and she gives so much extra credit, there shouldn't be any reason one should fail this class.
This professor flies through the material, she swears that she goes all out for the students when she really doesn't at all. Her style of teaching if you want to call it that is a complete disaster, you basically end up going home and trying to understand everything on your own. Look around for other professors do not take this class with her.
Prof. Cavalaris is an excellent professor. She is very knowledgeable and prepared,and she expects her students to be prepared as well. If you like Accounting,you are going to love her because she is really dedicated. She is always on explaining mood. She gives a lot of HW, but that is good practice for the exams. She is not easy,but you'll learn.
Great Professor! Not an easy professor, but if you really want to learn take her. There are online assignments from each chapter, some excel problems, 3 exams and a final. If you do all the assignments and study for the exams, you'll easily pass the class. Tip: Try to read the chapters ahead of time and be prepared for her class.
Took online, not easy because you have to learn on your own. Prof. is very helpful. I went to college and met in person. She offers tutoring through other students. Must follow calendar, do lab online, and assignments to pass. Quizzes can be taken twice, highest grade counts, and proctored final was fair.
She is the best Accounting teacher at North campus. If you are an accounting Major she is the person you need to take, she make sure you understand all of the material and shows you how to prepare using manual paper which is much better for you. One of the best professors I had to date. Dont expect and easy A you must do the work.
Great Professor!!!! You have to put in the work to pass obviously. Once you do your part I think an A is very easy. Homework and assignments online can be done over and over until you score a perfect score. I am an accounting major and i put in the work and got A+ on all my exams and got an easy A in the class! I loved and recommend her class. :)
This professor is the classic "I know my subject very well , but I can't teach for the life of me". I recommend you don't take her if your just starting accounting. She flys through material with out pause. So your learning will be done by reading the book. She is also rude to her students no matter what. She should be your last choice in any class
With this professor you have to learn by yourself. she is expecting you to know already. she get mad if you ask question or if you don't know and she treats us like kids
This professor makes you work for the grade, if you are not an accounting major i suggest for you not to take her. Her lectures are confusing and she goes very fast, she expects you to know already, basically you are on your own, best thing you can do is teach yourself by studying from the book.
If this class is not your main major, DO NOT take her. She goes really fast and expects you to know it already. The tests are hard!!! You will have to learn on your own time and the book will be your best friend.
Took her for ACG 2021 aced the class. Now taking her for managerial. Not an easy class. If your lazy and don't like to take your time studying and doing homework this is not the class for you. If you like a challenge, take her!! You will really know the material by the end of the semester!
This professor is Amazing , she is strict on expectations but knows the subject . Read the chapters and watch youtube videos. She will not give you the A you must work for it and do your hw. She will help you but only if you prove you have worked and done your part.
RUN AWAY FAST!
This professor teach entirely too fast. She expects you to know everything before she teaches it. You mainly will have to go home and basically teach your self. The only good thing about her is she offer a lot of extra credit opportunities. But if you can avoid taking her you should.
I love this professor, took her for both financial & managerial. She breaks down everything & helps you when u don't understand. she's always available when u need help. U actually learn & understand accounting once your finished with the class. U need her if your an accounting major. I'm at FIU & she's still helping me with the accounting exam
Take her only if your an Accounting Major.
Great professor and if you do all the assignments, there is no way you won't get an A. Took her online and will continue to take every available class she teaches.
The prof. Imagery teaching style on the board is fast paced and illegiable at times due to edge of papers being out of projection area or usually covered by the teachers hand. The discussion of materials in class are fast paced memorization along with a lot of jargon. This is an easy class with a proffeser out to weave and thin the herd. Do your HW
She is the worst professor ever! Run while you can. I regret taking her. She teaches as if we're expected to know, talks fast, and you'll have to tell her to move the paper up. She doesn't give good feedback she just puts you on blast in front of the class saying you need to read or study, and keep walking. HORRIBLE!
Amazing professor. Taking her for Managerial and took her for Financial. Tests can be difficult and there is a lot of homework. But she is amazing and as long as you put in the work, you will be fine.
Excellent professor h
she is HARD, tests are HARD, 1st test was the easiest but still hard to pass! lectures like you should already know the stuff, slick comments to ?s, will drop if u miss class, check homework and wants you to do homework assign by hand, gives a hw 4 each chapter, no sympathy, mean, will put you on blast, final is hard, tough grader will FAIL U!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! I DONT KNOW WHY THEY PAY HER AND SHE DOESNT EVEN TEACH! SHE SITS AT HER DESK AND TELLS YOU TO DO THE PROBLEMS ON YOUR OWN AND IF YOU NEED HELP SHE SAYS "YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THIS" THE CLASS WOULDN'T BE NEARLY AS DIFFICULT IF SHE ACTUALLY EXPLAINED SOMETHING. WASTE OF MONEY,WASTE OF TIME. DO NOT TAKE HER. SHES RUDE TOO
Very rude. Ask her for help. She will make you look stupid.
It should have been an easy class since it was all online. Nevertheless, she hardly ever explained how to do the problems, and when she did she expected us to know what she was talking about and at the end no one understood her. In the end, just one person in the whole class got an A. To me, she did not care about the students or their performance.
I heard all the bad comments about her, but she seemed really helpful in my class. She was always there for anything we needed regarding assignments. She gave lessons on the importance of doing an excel properly for future job placement.
She is horrible. She doesnt teach she goes over papers that she wrote herself and expects you to learn from that. When asked for help she told me that I need a tutor. She put the grade book on blast to show failing students and also thinks everyone is a complete failure because we dont understand. I wish I knew this before taking her.
She is horrible. doesn't expects you to know everything after one lesson theirs no tutoring available anyway she's rude and unprofessional .
Great professor if youre a student that actually opens the book and does the work she assign to do. If youre a student that puts in an effort she is supportive and will help you whenever you need it. If youre a student who doesnt do anything, she wont waste her time on you, its simple.
I think shes a decent teacher but it all depends on whether you actually enjoy accounting, finance, etc. if you dont put in effort then youll be lost. Just try your best.
Professor Cavalaris is an old school professor who believes in teaching lectures and assigning examples in the book for you to do. If you dont put in your part you WILL NOT pass. She gives ample examples for you to do and will drill you with the information so you may learn it. If you want to be spoon fed this is not the class for you.
I picked a different professor for lab and to my surprise during the first week I was switched to Martha worst mistake ever She does not help you learn I have asked her numerous questions and she goes off topic Definitely recommend starting a group chats with classmates that way you both can help and learn with each other because she will NOT
Replies to questions with 3 words or less. Suddenly decided to change due dates even though the material was supposed to be turned in at the end of the semester. Doesnt actually do anything besides grading discussions, and the lab work is basically on a you figure it out basis. I wish I had taken ANYONE else.
Worst teacher. 6 week online accounting course and I asked her several questions throughout but she expects perfection. Replies in under a sentence and tells you to look in the book. She designed her final to only give you one attempt. No going back to a previous question. I asked for extensions on it and she refused. Doesnt care about her students
This teacher is horrible at lecturing. She jumps around and expects you to keep up with her. She singles out students and gives them extra work. Do not take this class!
Teach yourself beforehand. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS, she will not answer them just tell you that its on the paper or you should know the answer. When lecturing she rushes through everything and does not slow down. Please do not take this class
When "reviewing" for tests the professor speeds through everything without even taking a break to answer questions. If you dont know the answer she just tells you you should know this without answering it. Horrible grader as well.
I don't think she's an AWFUL professor. She certainly drills you to learn which is good, but the class environment was absolutely terrible. I would go into the class and instantly my day was ruined because of the nagging and negative energy. Take her ONLY if you're an accounting major.
This professor claims she prepares you for the real world but in reality she just yells and speeds through her lesson without stopping even if you dont understand. Even during her office hours you cannot see her unless you make an appointment at least a week prior. Prepare to teach yourself the entire course and maybe then will you pass.
She is not an easy professor but she will help you if you ask her. Her class is good for accounting majors and people who study. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Kavalaris is very caring and encouraging, she pushes us to do the work and practice, drills us weekly with an exercise she dubbed 'The Driller' which was knowing each account, their normal balance and which financial statement they belong. The classes are not easy, but if you practice and read the chapters it will become second nature.
Ms. Cavalaris makes her class simple. Just complete your quizzes, Cengage, and Excel assignments for you to get an A. As long as you're understaning what's going on in your regular accounting class, you'll be fine in this lab class. The assignments have specific deadlines so don't slack off.
she really is very caring, shes extended deadlines for students quite often, and is always available for her students.
Email's lot of reminders about assignment due dates including a more personalized one at near the end of the semester letting you know what you have left. The class was mostly a review class so it was super easy.
She jumps around while explaining and you can't keep up. Then expects you to know how to do the problems
i took her for both lecture and lab and honestly i didnt learn much, just a few basic things. Theres 11 chapters and there was a hw and a quiz for each in both the lecture and lab, some were easy and some i would struggle a lot... final with lockdown, no extra credits, she does open all the hw and quizzes before the end of the semester.
I took her for both the course and lab. I highly suggest taking her for lab since attendance isn't mandatory, and you only join if you need help. For the course, there is a quiz and homework assignment due every week, same goes for the lab. There was no mid-term, but there was a proctored, 50-question final.
Took her for both lecture and lab, the lab was by far the easiest you just needed to pay attention in the lecture class. Attendance in lecture class and you didn't need to show up for the lab class time, no attendance. Homework was on CNOW (cengage). Final Proctored Exam based the lecture class.
Took her for both lecture and lab class, she was easy. The homework was on cengaged, and the test were on canvas. If you pay attention in class you will pass. The class is easy. It's my second semester taking a class with her. So id recommend.
Her class consists of a quiz and homework per chapter, and the same applies for the lab. There is a lot of homework that can add up if not done on time. Her lab doesn't have mandatory attendance but her lecture course does. There is also a proctored final, no midterm.
