I took this professor for auditing 1. What I liked about him is that he is very organized. He know what he wants to do and when it should be done. This eliminates confusion and time wasting on non essential issues. Your grade will depend on hard you want to work. The harder you work the more you learn and the better your grade. Work hard.

Best ACCT311 Professor. Comes to class early, a lot of extra credit to boost grade. 3 Exams with hard theory part and easy math part. DO NOT MISS HIS PRACTICE EXAMS day before exam-that's what his exams look like. Read book, class notes, and notes from blackboard site, and check your QC EMail daily (he sends a lot fo them) and you can get an A too.

Great professor but a lot of work. Can easily get an A if you do all the extra credits he gives (quizzes, homeworks, research). Ton of work but he has such a good system if you do the work you will get at least an A- and probably an A. Can't skimp on the work tho or it'll bite you.

Professor Satenstein is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His lectures are incredibly clear and he is tremendously helpful both as a lecturer and at his office hours. I have no hesitation in giving him my highest recommendation. Queens College is lucky to have him, he is a great teacher who really cares about students. Take Acct311 from Him

Its definitely a hard course- there's no getting around that, but he's one of the best teachers i've had in queens college. He explains the material thoroughly and at a level that the students can understand. There are two tests and a final- and with plenty of extra credit you can definitely get an A

A decent guy w/ a good sense of humor. Makes the class interesting and entertaining. IF you do all of your work it is easy to get a good grade. However, doing all of your work is not that easy. There are VERY involved homework's with mandatory submissions, & madatory participation points, & a VERY INVOLVED group project. WAY TOO MUCH 4 AN ELECTIVE

Best professor I've ever had. He was a CFO at a large bank, and has a gift for teaching. He really cares about the students and wants to make sure that everyone gets it by assigning mandatory HW and giving students the opportunities to become "experts" for every lecture. You are making a mistake if you do not take him for 311

If QC is smart, this man will be tenured soon. Tough, fair and extremely thorough in his presentation(The man even makes his own workbook for his 311 class), this school needs more educators like him(Unlike other profs who tend to rely on testbanks and take on a laissez-faire attitude in teaching).One of the few first-rate accounting profs in QC.

Making an acct elective "A League of Their Own," the level of this course went well below Corporate Finance which is a prerequisite.

I read the good comments on here before deciding to take 311 and i WAS SOO excited to take his class. My excitement faded as the days went on. Besides the enormous workload- I also felt like I was in grade school with his sign-in sheets just to answer a hw question! I felt All that did was exploit students-- not my idea of fun.

This class is very intense, but with all the required work & extra credit opportunity then there no way to fail. Sign up for all the homework’s even if you don’t know the answers. Attempt the codification project & study for the quizzes. Most students complain about him, but the practice midterm & final review is very similar to the actual test

The bulk of what's on the the midterm and final is found on his review sheet. No surprises. A lot of material to learn, but the exams are not hard. He even gives extra bonus points on them if you do the work to get them Sometimes, he doesn't explain on to why something is done that way. If you can do the review sheet problems, you are fine.
