WORST Professor I have EVER had. He DOES NOT TEACH, but he expects you to learn. Very easy to cheat in his class tho. My opinion: Stay FAR FAR away from this guy. I can honestly say i learned absolutely nothing. Yes, hes that bad.
An alright class, the subject makes it boring, you must stay on top of your homework & read the chapters. The tests require studying! But I found him quite helpful so when in doubt ask questions. Overall I made an A, along with my classmates.
I dropped his class the first week. Enough said.
He has a little bit of a confusing teaching style and goes thru things quickly, but he is very helpful and not extremely difficult. He also has tutorials that are very helpful when trying to figure out what the test is looking for.
Prof. Mendez's teaching style may be a bit confusing to some, but he is very fair and extremely helpful whenever help is needed. Keeping up with the homework, reading, and tutorials is a must, and doing so will make the tests a cinch. I recommend.
Nice Teacher but difficult course
his tests come from homework assaignments but there exactly from your homework so its easy. He does skip around in his teaching but i personally like him
having completed the course, i would say he is the best acct teacher out there. Tests come straight from quizzes. He really wants you to learn, but even if you dont its not difficult to get an a. He is a super cool guy also. Real nice. Pizza party final. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
best professor ever! always willing to help. extremely smart and knows how to teach.
Mr Mendez is a very smart individual and as long as you stay on top of things you will do well. He will also give extra points for community service done on spare time. HIGHLY recomended!
very smart guy, class isnt that hard if u do your work.
when i didnt have money for a book he let me borrow his. when i didnt understand anything he tutored me. this teacher is awesome, there should be more teachers out there that care so much about learning!!!
He does not teach the lessons himself. He expects you to learn the material on your own. I am a visual learner and I found it diffucult to comprehend with his teaching method.
VERY DIFFUCULT CLASS. the professors picks favorites and if your not one of them you will not make a good grade. Most of my classmates are LOST, and yet he does nothing to help. VERY BAD TEACHER STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLASS!
No Comments
Horribile class, Horribile teacher. Take only if you dare....HARD ASS WITH A BAD ADDITUDE!
he was an awsome teacher, very hands on and his willing to spend time helping you learn the material.
geat prof willing to help you on anything just do the work dont get behind and you will do good
Mr Mendez is a great professor , he undertsands what goes beside college with students and hes willing to help you.Just do all the work,he lets you do corrections and trust me it will be a easy A.
Mr. Mendez is a very nice human being. He is real. He brings hope to all mankind, and makes you remember there are still nice people out in this hard world we live in. He is a great teacher....just keep up with him. He will work with you to help you through. Very highly recommended. Do plenty of community service. He is big on that.
If you are a tree hugger and don't have any other responsibilities besides his class, then he is the instructor for you! Also, if your a student that doesn't care if your instructor teaches, then sign on up!! Your grade depends on your volunteering in community service. I have a 4.0 GPA at NVC and plan to keep it that way!
Mr. Mendez needs to know students are not there to do community services, we are there to get educated. Also, a proffesors job is to motivate a student "not" pull them down. Telling the class he is able to block ss# from registering with him is not very motivating!!! Looking at the comments I'm glad I dropped his class, he is a waist of money & tim
He's hard, not very clear, and gives a lot of homework. He himself is a great guy, gives great life lessons and all, but his class isn't all that. I love the guy, but not his class.
he is not what people say. his life lessons helps you to think and not take things for granted. super nice guy.
Mr. Mendez is a great instructor. Accounting is not an easy subject, and I'm sure all of these slackers giving him a bad rating didn't even bother reading the book, working the homeworks, and attending class... all they know how to do is whine. I got an easy A in both ACCT 2301 and 2302, and I learned a lot about Accounting and the business world
Great teacher, all the other people crying about him giving community service and other bs, maybe should of listened to him. You do a few hours and met your fellow classmates, wow thats hard. He gives a lot of examples and helps you out one on one. A+
he is a really laid back guy and fun. the best part is you really meet alot of people in his class and make friends something that doesnt really happen at NVC. and you get to help out by doing alot of community service. i am going to take him again for acct 2 he really is a good teacher.
Mr. Mendez is not just an interesting teacher when it comes to accounting, he's an advocate in teaching young college students on how to be positive pillars in the community. He teaches accounting while teaching young adults how life is in the real world and that's something that many young people really need. He values people helping others!
Mr. Mendez is a true inspirational person. Anyone who gripes about him pushing you to be better through community service needs to take a look at yourself first. He uses his own mistakes to demonstrate things, so that maybe we won't make the same. the best teach ever/took him twice/ would def. recommend. if you want to know acct. take him!
Very understanding and allowed for make up with a valid reason. Taught us more than Acct. Taught us life skills in community service and overal advice
I have never taking the time to rate a professor, but he was awesome. I highly recommend him. the nicest guy ever- I wish I needed to take acct 2 just so I could take him!
He cares more about doing community service than actually teaching. For people who work full time and go to school full time it's difficult to base your grade on community service. When he does teach he thinks that everybody already knows the material. He gets annoyed if you ask any questions.
I took his intro to accounting or whatever, and I SUCK at it, Mr.Mendez was extremly understanding and helped out 100% always made himself available to his students and had great advice for anybody who would accept it. He has had a who bunch of great life experiences and is more than willing to share them with the class... DO COMMUNITY SERVICE!
GREAT TEACHER! Always willing to help you understand the lesson. I took Accounting as a degree requirement and I hated it, BUT Mr. Mendez really goes out of his way to help you learn.
Mr Mendez is such a wonderful professor. He is only hard, if you don't show up. Otherwise, he basically makes it impossible NOT to make an A. Just do the quizzes, you get 3 attempts! Come to class, do some community service! Give back to the community. Its not gonna kill you. Mr Mendez definitely has strong/sound morals. Loved him, taking him again
He is an ok teacher. He doesn't expain the material well. You have to learn all on your own and for accounting that is hard. Of course you get quite a bit of points if you do community service. I wouldn't recommend him if you want to understand accounting.
Aside from what everyone says, Ralph isn't that bad at all. The class is pretty easy now that they have online textbooks/homework assignments. He gives you a week to do them, and if you can't, he'll extend them cause he understands we have a life. Group tests and assignments. If your group completes a "hard" assignment, no test for you! Easy A!
He was amazingly helpfull Just show up and ask him questions if you dont understand. Really wants to help you and really wants you to understand
Hard class, but cool professor. Most people don't like the class cause the material is tough. He tries his best to explain it and relate it real-world situations. Cares about his students, rather we learn something useful than pass a test. Group "tests", homework isn't mandatory. Bases your final grade off how well you contributed to your team.
Mr Mendez is an awesome teacher. He truly cares about not only his students learning the material, but becoming better citizens as a result of his class. It is rare to find a professor willing to give a home# in case his students had difficulty with the take home group final. I am looking forward to taking him again for accounting 2302.
Very Highly Recommended!!! Professor Mendez is an excellent instructor. Accounting is a difficult subject. I especially like the way that Mr. Mendez relates material to actual business activity. Stay on top of your assignments, come to class. Great instructor, Great person, High Moral Values. Always projects a positive, helpful and patient at
Mr. Mendez is one of the best professors I have had. He honestly cares about his students and how they learn. I have yet to see him play favorites thru this semester. He makes jokes and will tell you he will block you from taking his classes by your SS# but it's all in good fun.If you do you work, volunteer, and pay attention, expect an A!
Mr. Mendez is an amazing professor! I wish more professors were like him, he truly cares about his students.I took him for both acct 2301 & 2302. I always looked forward to his class. Funny, entertaining, and not hard.It might be a lot of work but it is not hard at all! Highly recommend taking him.If you keep up with the work you should get and A.
He is not organized at all. Take this class if you want an easy A. But if you actually want to learn something then go with someone else. I didn't really learn anything in his class at all.
super nice guy, who knows his stuff.. very laidback when it comes to grading, and makes it easy to pass.
Chaotic is an understatement! You will go to class. He will tell you personalstories. You willgo home n teach yourself. He is unorganized and scatterbrained.
I am currently taking his class. i find it to be really rewarding. he is a very easy going teacher with alot of experience in the field of business. this is a self learning class but is not difficult at all. If you want an A you have to attent to class everytime and be willign to learn.
I think organization was the biggest thing. We were encouraged to ask questions, but then if we did, it seemed that he would be upset with us for not understanding. Or we'd get these round about answers, which would still leave us in the dark sometimes. Clearly Mr. Mendez is passionate about what he does, but it some of it gets lost on us students.
Mr. Mendez was extremely helpful! I failed accounting 2 before I chose to take it with him. I always struggled with accounting. He's always available to help any students. He wouldn't move on in his teachings until everyone was on the same page and understood every subject. Easy A, just show up to class and at least try on HW and assignments.
I really enjoyed this class. I do love this professor he really wants you to learn exactly what you need to in order to transfer to a university. I found him confusing at times I learned most of the criteria from the homework. His lectures did match the homework but overall the homework is why I passed. Easy homework as well always has examples.
his lack of organization and clarity is painstaking. i am actually typing this review in class as he mumbles about this one time that he owned ducks. don't take this guy if you love yourself.
So sorry i decided to take this class with this professor. He expects the students to know what he is talking about when he hasn't even gone over the material once! He will ask questions and then responds rudely when the wrong answer is given. Horrible teacher. Very unorganized. No clarity whatsoever! Everyone in class walks out confused :(
Great teacher. Very easy. No tests all semester, he does not believe in them. Just do the assignments he assigns and you will pass no problem.
Mr. Mendez didn't only teach me the basics of accounting but he made me be inspired to be a better person outside the classroom. His hunger to help the community is truly inspirational. Its not only a class about accounting which may sound boring, but his class makes you work in the community and work with other people.
Mr. Mendez is an OK professor but if you want an easy a and do not plan to be an accountant take him. If you want to learn take another instructor. There are no tests at all he doesn't believe in them, and if you do all the homework you will pass. You do group projects that count for a lot. He gets caught up in talking about himself a lot.
Pros: Cares about every student. Has a TON of real world experience, and brings real examples into classroom. Very understanding, but communication is a must. Supports community and peers helping peers. Cons: Very unorganized and unstructured. May give late notice on assignments.
Loved Mr. Mendez!! I took him for Account 1 & 2. He is very enthusiastic about Accounting. All homework is online and he gives enough time to do it. He does take attendance but just show up to class. He makes it fun anyway. What I cant stress enough is that he actually CARES. Cares about Accounting, Cares about his students, and cares about stude
Mr. Mendez is a very caring man. He will bend over backwards for any student of his. His class is easy to follow, just ask questions and do the homework. IT WILL HELP! He likes you to learn from your mistakes so he does give A LOT of chances. Don't take advantage of them. I would recommend him to anyone.
Definitely one of the best professors I have ever had. Mr. Mendez is very caring and always makes sure .that everyone understands. He encourages the class to help each other out; especially on quizzes. I would definitely take him again!
Professor Mendez is wonderful he cares about every one of his students, if you read ahead of time and aren't lazy you will be just fine with his lectures, there is a lot of group work which helps you learn and teach others as you go, look over the book, and do the HWs ask questions a lot of questions during class and you will do great.
One word: AMAZING. if i could take his courses again i definetely would! He really cares about every one of his students. Every quiz, tests, homework, and in class assignments are often done in groups as long as the class is well behaved. He really cares about the relations that we make with each other, and is overall the perfect teacher.
Ralph Mendez is a respectable man, however he is very unorganized as a teacher. There is no structure in the way he teaches. To be more clear, Mr. Mendez does not really teach at all. If you take his class, be prepared to rely on your classmates and teaching yourself to pass.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. The subject matter itself is a bit difficult and yes he goes through it rather quickly and in little detail. The thing about Mr. Mendez is that if you ask a question he will answer it and make sure you understand it. A lot of group activities. Very caring guy, you can tell he cares and wants us to succeed.
This professor is absolutely amazing. He gives great feedback and lets you work with your group for most of the work in the class. There is a lot of homework but it is optional. I recommend doing it because it helps out. Overall great teacher. He cares for his students and our grades.
Take him! You wont regret it! Mr. Mendez is one of the best professor Ive taken. He truly is there for his students and gives 100% of himself to us. He always makes sure we understand what we go over. If you need help or have questions he will help you. Not enough characters to explain how great he is!!
Professor Mendez's teaching is very valuable. He knows the material so well! I can tell he really enjoys teaching and understands the importance of what he teaches. He ensures you understand the material!
He is so disorganized. Hafe the time he lectures he gets off topic and You end up getting lost in not understanding the subject. And he just gets upset with you whatever you ask a question because you don't understand.
Ralph is an amazing PERSON. However he DOESN'T TEACH in the class. We are put into groups in the beginning of the semester and with those groups we are assigned chapters that we must teach throughout the year. He expects us to already know the material before class. Theres also an overwhelming amount of homework.
He does get distracted but he uses real life examples that are eye opening. If you do all the quizzes which you do in class and he helps. He does have you present chapters as a group twice. As long as you do all quizzes and have a 90% on attendance you don't have to take final. He wants you to understand and tries to help. Mostly work in partners.
Best Professor! Really cares about students. Took 2301 & registered for 2302. 2301 course had lots of homework, BUT after speaking to class on how to improve he listened & decreased to less. He will work with you. Just be present & TAKE ALL QUIZES! & you won't take a final. Learned A Lot! A bit disorganized but workable. Take EASY A while learning
He is an awesome teacher. He really cares about his students and makes sure that he helps anyway he can to help you pass or get a better grade. He does fun projects and activities outside of Vlad. Would definitely recommend
Be prepare to do ALOT of homework assignments in order to pass this class BUT willing to help you reduce few assignments AND willing to open past due assignments/quizzes. Yes, he is not organize teacher BUT he is very respectful man who want us to success as a TEAM (Quiz weekly WITH class support!). Perfect attendenceFinal Exam Exemption!
Be prepare to do ALOT of assignment in order to pass this class. Case Study are hard BUT with class support, you will do well. Yes, he is not organize teacher BUT he is very respectful man who want us to success as a TEAM (Quiz weekly WITH class support!). Perfect attendenceFinal Exam Exemption! Listen to his life lesson for personal benefit
Ralph Mendez is a really good teacher who genuinely cares about his students. Beware that there is a lot of homework assignments and quizzes, but given the fact that this is an accounting class that should be accepted. He works with his students really well to make sure they're all doing ok. If show up and do the assignments you will be fine.
Perfect attendance no final. Ask him nicely and he can extend some HomeWorks. He cares about us, he may get off topic because some of us are not understanding the subject as fast as others, so may look unorganized but he has to work with a lot of different students pace. Please be patient he is an awesome professor and cares about us.
I honestly loved Ralph. Yes he can be harsh sometimes, but he is an older professor. He cares about our education more than anything. If you get the chance to go on the field trips you should. Also, in the beginning he seem so complicated, but now at the end he is great. He will help you when you need help. 12 Chapters: Videos, Quiz, Homework
Professor Mendez was a great. Very understanding and gave real life examples for everything we reviewed. Class participation is a must and he really helps his class engage with one another.
He is an amazing person, truly caring and genuine. He works with you, really wants you to succeed. However accounting is hard, it requires a lot of time to understand. In the start, he started the course without explained the terms which was really confusing. Everything is online, it is a hard course. You have to put in the work yourself.
Took both Accounting courses with Ralph. Hands down the most influential professor Ive had. He truly cares about his students & wants us to be successful not just in class but in life. He teaches us the importance of networking & the impact it has. Yes, he leaves a lot of assignments but he will answer any questions you have & provide feedback.
Prof Mendez is great, but online teaching is not his forte. Accounting is already difficult and this class you mostly have to self teach. Luckily grade weight is mostly homework which is easy and you have checks. Group tests are the worst though as the midterm is graded as a group. You know how that goes. I would def take him in person though
Mr. Mendez is good chap and darn professor but online is not fine point and that's understandable. Accounting is a class best taken in person with actual people who work together. Mr. Mendez is big on that working together however not all students agree. The class itself requires a lot of work and dedication, use the prof and tutors for help.
Best teacher for accounting at nvc, he kinda struggles to get a point across sometimes but his hw is not hard just time consuming
Very caring and considerate professor. He knows that accounting is difficult so he breaks it down in a way that's understandable & calls on people to participate in class, which helps students figure out what they are doing. Thanks to his class, I had a solid foundation of accounting knowledge that helped when I took accounting 2.
Mr. Mendez is a great professor and is very knowledgeable when it comes to accounting and business. The class is very easy if you keep up with homework and come to class. However, I am not sure if I am fully prepared for ACCT2302 because it was so easy to pass. There were no finals or midterms.
Great Professor , easy class. You can get an easy A by doing Homework's and come to class. You can be exempt of midterm and final if you do optional assignments. However , its so easy to pass that I am not sure If I learned enough for ACCT 2302.
Great professor who allows you to pick and choose what type assignments you want to turn in. Allows for the student to understand the material as well as giving an opportunity to get an A. There are a lot of homeworks however most problems have a walkthrough attached and book links that takes you to the chapter that is associated with the problem!
He's a genuine guy, and is very lenient when it comes to homework. He'll even extend the deadline to a date of your choosing. However, he is not a good TEACHER. I think he believes loading you with homework will be the best teaching method. Be prepared to teach yourself the concepts and rely heavily on the "HINTS" and "CHECKS" that are given on HW
Ralph was the most caring person ever, he's been through rough, so he knows how school is EXTREMELY lenient. HW, while yes it was a lot, he extended for anyone who needed it and finals where group finals. He does anything for you to pass, for that I respect him. Content is hard but the professor makes it an easy A. Taking Mang. Acct with him
One of the best Professors in his department. The material can be confusing, but he is very understanding if you talk with him. Group projects and group collaborations are most likely where you will learn the most so don't miss out on in-person days.
i do not have words to describe how he kind. He always help us, caring if you need. He will open due again if you need. No distance between he and us as well. Need take his classsssss. I will recommend him for people who is confusing what is the best accounting professor. You will exempt for exam if you done the assignment he gave online.
Ralph is amazing and truly cares about his students. Class was a little hard but he was always there to help. Loved volunteering with him outside of school. Kind soul. Would recommend to anyone.
The best teacher! If you are very interested in business then I really recommend his class. He brought in lots of business speakers to talk to us and overall is super caring. Lots of group projects but they were always really fun and interactive!
Professor Mendez is an exceptional instructor who genuinely cares about his students' success. His kindness and patience create an encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking guidance. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everyone understands the material.
Professor Ralph is a laid-back teacher who extends due dates and offers help. Assignments include one chapter a week and a required hw, with other optional available. You can skip mid-terms and finals by completing enough required and optional hw. It's an easy class but requires a bit of self-teaching..He does ramble and repeat himself sometimes.
Professor Mendez is a caring instructor who makes accounting concepts manageable. While the workload is heavy, his guidance and the availability of helpful resources like Unstuck ai make this class quite doable. Definitely worth taking, especially in-person.
Mr. Mendez is understanding & caring. For this class there is a lot of group projects and he will teach based on the curriculum as well as real life situations. He is awesome but do not take advantage. He always has a zoom open for students we can's make it to class. Best professor ever!
Good at political rants terrible at teaching. He does an absolutely terrible job at teaching accounting and leaves you to learn the material all by yourself. Most of the class is spent on him giving political rants expressing why his political opinion is right and spends very little teaching. The assignments long and force you to learn on your own.
Passionate about certain topics, may get off course, pretty easy class to pass but if you want to major in accounting or finance I would put the extra step forward to make sure you understand the concepts
