good professor. class projects help a lot. has a sense of humor. u also have to take him for acct 400

Very clear teacher. Has a good sense of humor. Probably the best in the acct dept.

Does poke fun at the students, but usually only the ones who poke fun at him. He puts things in words that everyone can understand, and he is good about making his notes available to students. Recommend him highly to all students.

great humor, tells you what you need to do, very fair in grading.

Had him & Davidson team-teach during Winter Session. Expressed high expectations with assignments, but in the end we all got full credit just for turning it in. Not so bad for the headache he was along the way.

God bless dr constace

He's cool. Another basic self-learning acct class. Don't expect to learn much in class.

Very good. Exam are hard. But his notes are really helpful

Great Prof

Hilarious and knowledgable, still very challenging, but I had fun

CONSTAS IS COOL.HE'S VERY DRY.HARD TO TELL THE JOKES IF YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.HE TRIES TO DRESS UP THE MATERIAL, BUT IT'S TOUGH. HE DOES HIS BEST TO GET EVERYBODY THRU. IF YOU GET LESS THAN B OFF HIM, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS IN ACCOUNTING. FIND ANOTHER MAJOR.

Accounting in general is hard! But he makes it easy to understand if you pay attention. His tests are somewhat easy and what is cool is that he curves AND gives you makeups. He is really nice. He gave my friend a passing grade because she needed to grad.

not an easy class; subject isn't easy. tests kinda hard. lectures super boring.

Constas is a VERY fair teacher. The class is hard and his exams are harder. But he curves a lot and if you put a little effort into his class you will get a passing grade. His lectures are a little boring, but they do help you understand the material for the tests.

Don't buy the book. Print all of his Class notes and study from that. he allows a lot of cheat sheets so use them. there are only 12 questions on each test. attendence counts so go to class but study from the class notes and the book's quizzes. he gets his tests from the test bank. he always lets you out 2hrs early for the 4hr. night class

Dr. Constas is a cool teacher, subject is complicated, and he knows it, so he tries to make it easy and he's helpful when you ask him a question in class or at his office. I liked him, huge curve.

Just took the final in there.(winter session) Great teacher. The people who disagree are just fools.

He's a nice guy, and he really wants his students to do well.

Subj is tough. Gotta do HW and keep up. Don't buy book - use his lecture notes/problems. They are much better and deviate from methods taught in book. Strange, sarcastic sense of humor- don't take it personally. If you don't get it the first time, ask him to explain it again. Substantial curve at end of sem.

He's a great professor! The materials are very10x hard, but he explains them really well & has a very generous curve. Do not buy the book - go to class, study the powerpoint slides, do the ex.crt offered, and study the on-line quiz from the book's website. He is a nice & funny teacher. Best professors:(gentile, todd, fisher, grace, constas, todd)

Contrary to what everyone else has said, I found his lectures and powerpoint very useful. I never read the book... instead... I paid attention in class and did all of his on-line practice questions and still received an A in his class. Biggest suggestion I can give is to study the powerpoints and practice questions.

Dr. Constas provides excellent PowerPoints and notes that are very helpful. Some students didn't even use the book. To the credit of the Dr., I still remember the material from his class. If you want one of the best teachers that CSULB has to offer, take Dr. Constas. You'll have to study.

Don't need to purchase book since he provides you with slides but it's optional. He a real down to earth guy. For each chapter on the exam he lets you have a cheat sheet. Curve is HUGE.

Constas is a pretty awesome teacher! I've had him for cost and advanced accounting and although the material can tend to be difficult (at least the first half of the semester). constas tries to make it quick and painless for you. provides more than enough suplimental material on his website...i highly recommend constas! Hes very fair in the end!

You are guaranteed to be STRESSED OUT just because the material is so difficult! But he curves a lot to give you some relief. I got a D on the final but managed to get an A

Do not buy the book! Go to the lectures, let the material sink in. Then instead of taking time to study, copy the lecture slides WORD FOR WORD into your cheat sheets (he allows cheat sheets for every test). I did this and got an A in the class after his monster curve. Hard to fail unless you really just don't try.

Good Teacher. Uses PowerPoint so don't bother with the book (if you really want to, buy the old edition). Show up to class, do the examples and homework and you'll get a good grade. Oh, he does let you have lot's of cheat-sheets!!! spend some time on those and they will be VERY helpful.

Constas is the best accounting teacher ever... Really changed my life knowing this teacher. Constas rocks!!!!!!!

This class wasn't bad. I took the hyper course. Teacher really makes sure we understand it and has very helpful quizzes. You don't need the book! I would take him again.

"DAAAAAAAYUM!" is what I said when I saw my grade for this class and the curve he gave us. Test questions were the ones where you had to figure out five different variables first before you could answer the main question. Class avg for ea. test was an F. Well hopefully that gives you an insight as to how hard this class is.

Lets u use 3 cheat sheets (sucks for me because I just copied problems to my notes and never bothered to see if I understood them..worked for me for the two first midterms and then for the final I WAS COMPLETELY LOST). Class avg is an F. Best advice is make sure you know how to do the problems prior to the test. Hate acct but overall ok class.

His lectures are completely different from the problems on the exams. You are allowed notes for each exam. Make sure to include notes from his lectures and the book. Do your best on the final as that grade could replace any previous exam grades (if higher). Won't know how you're doing in the class until the end.

At first I didn't like him, but he's actually not bad at all. His lectures are exactly what you need to know and he provides PERFECT lecture notes online with lots of explanations and examples, though nobody seems to use them. Don't need the textbook if you use the online notes: print them out, bring them to class to follow along, and STUDY THEM=A

The best thing about this class is that you are given study problems that have the solutions written out to help you prepare for the exam. His curve is amazing =) Very helpful professor.

Study the powerpoint slides and UNDERSTAND them. You may not get more than 60-70% of the questions right on the exams but with the MEGA curve he gives, it is possible to get an A. Don't underestimate the class. The material is difficult and the tests are detailed.

he is one of the best acct professor. i highly recommend take him. his power point is so helpful, and he is so fair on grading

He doesn't teach a lot. You will be skipping a lot of classes. But he does teaches clearly (when he does) and you do not need the book. If you read his notes on his Web site and study, you will get an A or a hard B. He makes sarcastic jokes, but he does cares about students.

If you're looking for an easy grade, take this teacher. If you actually want to learn and be challenged, take someone else. Always lets class out early. No homework. Exams are very hard with low scores but he grades on a curve so almost everyone passes. Ask questions if you don't understand, he will always answer. Tells cheesy jokes.

The tests are only difficult for people who don't do the practice problems that he assigns from the book. They are not required, so no one does them. However, the problems in the book are very similar to the problems on the test. Most people only practice the review sheet handouts which are very basic forms of what is on the exam.

No Homework. 5 Exams + Final (Cumulative). Easy A if you do a small amount of extra work. Everyone relies on the curve. I did so well from the curve I didn't even have to take the final and still got an A. Practice the problems from the book. Practice his Handouts. No Attendance. Class ends early.

Mike Constas was a caring professor that made the management accounting class interesting! He was always available when I needed to meet with him outside of class hours.
