Very practical in teaching and patient in explaining. He is the best professor I ever had in Ryerson ( Excellent attitude). He even wrote down the notes from the Handbook and created his own slides.

He is not the best Prof for 406. His tests are not as easy as the other profs. The class average for the first two are D and C-. He occasionally explain ALL the steps when solving questions. He expects answers from student. He could stand all day in the front waiting for an answer and waste time if no one is willing to speak up and answer.

This prof has a terrible ego problem and is unwilling to help you. He thinks he's god's gift to students and will never admit he was wrong or didn't teach something clearly enough. His tests are very difficult compared w/ other profs. Won't give students answers to tests or slides he uses.

Guys, you gotta stop blaming him because of your bad mark. It's your own fault for not studying. Yes I totally agree that his tests are difficult but it's fair and that he does not post answers, ppt slides on blackboard except for some useless note that he got off of from the textbook's website. Gotta admit that he did teach the course pretty well.

Last 3 posts are a joke. My 2nd time taking this after getting killed with a tenured prof at RYE who stunk. DiMaio make his own slides since the ones with the book were useless & if you think you can pass 406 using the text you must not have read it in the 1st place.. brutal. fail it with another prof and you'l see the difference.

His lectures are helpful, but not 100% necessary. He does take up homework in class, so do go to class because he's REALLY good at explaining concepts. He uses simpler examples (e.g. the table in the room) to explain the questions, so you understand better. Came out of the class thinking Accounting isn't so bad after all. :)

Interesting and fun prof. Good at explaining concepts. However, his tests are designed to be hard, and his grading is strict. If you are looking for an A+. practice practice and do not a single small mistake or you will get zero or close to zero for the question. Does not give many partial marks. and will not bump your grade up!

Maurizio is without a doubt, the best professor I had at Ryerson to date. Accounting isn't exactly an interesting topic, but Maurizio makes it. He thoroughly goes through the powerpoints in a way that keeps the class engaged. Makes very fair and tells you what you need to know, and what you don't for a test/midterm/final. Get Mauritzio if you can.

He was my best prof. You definitely need to read the textbook and be prepared for class because the class is all in-class demo questions so if you're not prepared you'll be lost in class. He makes the course really interesting and is one of the reasons I decided to switch to accounting.

He's a fun prof but his comments may come off the wrong way/easy to misinterpret, personally I find him hard to approach due to his passive-aggressive comments. As for the course itself, make sure you are working on the textbook, watching the lectures and joining the zoom calls, otherwise you'd be catching up rather than actual learning.

He's a funny guy but sometimes his comments are a little weird? The textbook was free but it was the worst textbook I've ever read in my life. It was the polar opposite of 'straight to the point'. The lectures were decent and his teaching style was simply going over practice questions all of class which is good for accounting. He's just fine imo.

He is such an awesome and funny professor.
