If you do not have three hours a day to study for his class, you'll never pass.

Hard because of material, not him. Do the problems before class or else dont go

If you go to class you should be all set, assuming you understand the material.

Nice guy. Hard class. Study every night or your grade will suffer.

The work is hard enough without him reminding you every day of how tough he is.

This man has instilled in me a lifelong hatred of accounting.

Seems like a nice guy, but he's not, he reminds you how stupid you are all da

Good class b/c it made you learn accounting the real way.

Good Prof. He makes you work for the grade. Would take his class again.

class is extremely tough, but he's really great guy, that makes you do your work

Subject is hard, good professor overall, "eat elephant one bite at a time."

HW helps undrstnding his class-DO IT! weird man, but not unfair;tests on HW info

If you do not take your accting courses very seriously do not take Dr. P

great professor, you'll learn a lot from him.

Hardest course, best professor. The Reason I passed the FARE part of the CPA.

Dr. P is always willing to help, just be sure to do what he says.

LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!! HE KNOWS OF WHAT HE SPEAKS!

The best teacher I met, who made you love accounting

Would hire any student that passes his class.

if u want to pass cpa, u'd better take his class.

follow his class, you'll build your confidence

His class is for mature students who knows how to study and study hard.

Great teacher! Made me realize hard work does pay off.

One of the best teacher in Delaware. After acct 315,316 is more fun.

best teacher for his teaching skills. what is learned tuition paid.

Dr.Paretta is always willing to help if students want to learn.

Helpful, fair tests, must stay on top of the HW & course material.

great professor, he knows how to push you to learn acctg.

great teacher, provides lots of supplemental handouts, always available to help

challenging course, but you'll learn a lot with Dr. P. Prepares you for CPA exam

challening professor, but very fair. cares about his students and very helpful.

very fair to every one, and nice help for your studying.

Acct 316 requires lots of efforts. The professor does a good job is explaining.

wonderful professor. Wonderful handouts. I still keep them as reference.

exellent

He is a little turp and thinks he is god..

Unlce Bob's a GREAT GUY! He'll make u work but it's well worth it! Recommended!

AWESOME prof but it's best to start w/ him in 207 b/c then you know his style

not bad class, must do ALL of work

Best teacher I have ever had. I failed firsy exam. Took advice ended with an A. Expect lots of hard work or you will fail. Still best despite what slackers say.

One of the best profs I ever had. Tough because the course was tough. People who don't like him should look within themselves for lack of success

Quality professor. Never gives away the answers, but helps you get to it. Hard work pays off. If you don't plan to spend 3-4 hours per week doing work outside class, don't expect an 'A'. If you didn't like the guy or didn't do well, you didn't do enough work.

Uncle Bob knows his stuff and expects you to put in a lot of work in order to succeed. If you do, you'll have accounting down pat. If not, you're going to fail. It's a hard class, but never unfair. Some people may not like his style or personality, others really do. There's not a lot of in-between there.

Had Uncle Bob for 315&316 and got A in both. It's hard work, but eventually you learn a lot. Think seriously about accounting? Definitely take him.

Uncle Bob is tough, but VERY fair. He's ALWAYS willing to help students. Undergrads may not like the work load, but MBA students should not be shocked. Plan on 10-15 hrs/week of homework and studying to get an A.

I took Uncle Bob for 3 different classes when I was at UD 4 years ago as an Acct Major. If you are serious about becoming a CPA then CHOOSE UNCLE BOB! I cannot stress this enough. He prepared me for the FARE section of the CPA so well and I now have my CPA license. I will forever be grateful for Uncle Bob =)

Is very tough, but fair. I didnt think his teaching style was good while I was taking him, but looking back I realize that I learned a lot in his class. His teaching style is very structured. Put in the time and effort to study for his class, don't slack off, and attend class so you'll be on his good side.

Dr. Paretta is a wonderful teacher. He cares about his students and is passionate about accounting. The course is difficult, but that is to be expected for an MBA level class. Do the homework and listen in class and an A is yours.

Dr. Paretta is a passionate Accounting professor, you will learn a lot about Accounting and Life from him if you are willing and eager to learn - His class is structured and challenging but you will be successful in it if you are fully dedicated.

This class if very very challenging - but you know what you're getting in to up front. His tests are hard, but if you study you can do alright. There aren't surprises, just a ton of material to learn. Offers incentive plans if you improve. End of semester project helps grades.

Awesome class, but challenging and time intensive. He gives you a blueprint on what is required to do well that is very accurate. Do not expect to listen to the lectures, do some homework and get an A. You MUST put in the time. You will benfit more from lectures if you do the work first.

Uncle Bob is only hard if you do not work hard. He expects a lot out of his students and the more you put in, the more he puts out. The textbook is used extensively, so if you don't like reading your screwed. Overall, he knows his stuff and is a great teacher.

Very difficult prof for the course but you will come out of it knowing so much more than with any other teacher. It is definitely worth the extra effort to have him as a professor for this course.

Extremely hard tests that test on basically your knowledge of the accounting profession in nearly its entirety. Goes over little in class before slamming you with hard tests and takes off for just about anything that might be remotely off. Believes he is god to a class that everyone should work at for at least 10 hours a week and 2000 or more pages

Probably one of the most entertaining professors I've ever had. This guy actually manages to make accounting somewhat interesting. Very humorous and respectful. I would definitely recommend him.

Very difficult, but you will learn a lot. Very humorous, and will often apply concepts to real world situations. Classes are more of a supplementary tool. Main learning comes from reading the book. Read the book. Read it. Read the book and you will do well.

Tough but SO worth it. You'll walk away with a thorough knowledge of not only how to read financial statements but also a good understanding of the individual components on them. Tests are tough but if you do the reading and work outside of class you'll reap the benefits, plus multiple chances to redeem yourself. FOLLOW THE PLAN and good luck!

"Uncle Bob" is an excellent professor- very humorous and candid, keeps students engaged. While you could probably just learn from the book, his insights and connections in class are valuable. Final project challenging but very useful. Exams are not difficult if you prepare; offers "incentive plan" to improve grades.

I took Paretta for ACC 316 in 1982, 31 years ago. I scored in the 90s on all four parts of the exam. I can remember specific things he said during the classes to this day. YES, he is hard, but if you are serious about being successful in this profession you should take him. You are entering a profession where 7 figure earnings are common.

Best learning experience ever. Definitely requires consistent effort. I felt bad for the students that did not follow his directions for success in the class (he hands you a 3 page document on day 1 detailing how to succeed in the class). If you don't want to look like an idiot on the job when financial acctg comes up, take Paretta!!!

Prof. Paretta is literally my favorite professor I've ever had at Udel. His class (at least Acct207 anyways) is not at all horrible as people have noted. Yeah he expects you to read the book but in all honesty there isn't much time for him to teach you in class. The project at the end of the semester is long but not too hard. He's also hilarious!

Paretta's a great guy with a good sense of humor. Just make sure you study diligently for all of the tests. The first exam is very easy and I figured it would be the same way for the second exam, and that mentality ended up hurting my final grade (still ended with a B). Planning on taking 315H next year with him as my professional elective.

Incredible professor, truly wants and requires the best out of his students. Exams are difficult, but Uncle Bob is understanding and does everything in his power to help students out and prepare them. If you are planning on taking CPA in future, take Uncle Bob for Intermediate.

Paretta is a really nice guy, funny, & he does care about the students. That being said, this class is entirely on you. Frustrating at times because 95% of the stuff you go over in class isn't on the exams.. calls it FYI. You will have to teach yourself the material, but you do learn a lot more by doing so. Tough class, worked my butt off for a B.

Paretta is tough. If you're looking for an easy A look elsewhere, but if you want to learn there is no one better. You will know accounting better than anyone who took it with a different professor. He is a good teacher but the way his class is set up he will only help you if you ask for it. Quizzes do not count but take them seriously.

Uncle Bob is the man. If you're an accounting major, definitely take his class because you will come out so much more prepared than the other 207 classes. You need to follow his course guidelines if you want to do well, so be sure to take them seriously. He's also hilarious in class which makes learning accounting so much better. Highly recommend

In accounting you either get it or you don't. Dr. Paretta is a really good teacher for those who get it, but it's easy to get lost if you don't. The good thing about Dr. Paretta is hes always available by email for any questions, he really cares about his students, and gives out grading incentives and tries to help you along the way so no one fails

Paretta is the man. I took this class online and he's one of the only professors I've had that can still translate the classroom vibe via zoom, and the guy is like 85. If you're looking for an easy course, this isn't it. But, if you want to actually learn the material and come out prepared, look no further. Very exam heavy they make up your grade
