he is the worst professor that i ever had. he definately has his favorites in the class. he never writes notes on the board. very unorganized and unclear. if he doesnt like you, he'll fail you no matter how high your grades are. tests are very hard.
Hez good i liked him.i didnt do much of work in his class was thinking that im not gna get a good grade. but ended up with a good grade. i think hez nice. though his testz are little hard. if u do ur work he really is a good professor.
i don't agree with the other person saying that he is never clear. well he is clear eventhough he is fast going. it is just that there are too many chap to cover. but key point is that he gives check points and enjoy the class.recomended but got a read!!!
well for the person who said he is very unclear and unorgnized. he is not he is a great professor to take if you want to learn bus.law deep down. he is really nice and there is always a room to get points in the class. very very much recomended and read..
At first you'll find him very easy going and not much works... But when it comes to tests, it is very hard (100 multi. choices), yet many of those questions are very unclear and tricky... Overall, I would said that he is an "Average" professor, but the hope of getting an "A" in his class is slim...
Very tricky professor. He comes off with a smile and tells plenty of jokes in his class, but don't let the smile fool you. He will fail you in a minute. Be prepared and read the book front and back. Get ready for 100 question mid-term and final exams.
funny guy, but tests are tricky. Final covers alot of material.
I DO NOT RECOMEND TO TAKE HIM. HIS TESTS ARE VERY HARD BECAUSE MOST OF MATERIALS ARE NOT COVERED IN THE CLASS. YOU HAVE TO READ CHAPTERS FROM A TO Z. HE DOES NOT GIVE REVIEWS. DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR TAX CLASS. HE WASTES A LOT OF TIME FOR THE JOKES BUT HE IS NOT EASY GOING. HIS TESTS ARE KILLERS
No Comments
You will find him funny and easy-going dring the lecture. But when it comes to the exam, there is no such fun. There are two exams overall.(100 MCs each) The questions paper alone is about 16 pages. It just makes u scare. Just make sure u take 2 Tylenols after the exams and u will be fine...
funny teach but 100 q's MC two tests he is normally a bus. law teach but he was not that great at acct. 101
Lazy Professor, use the same exams every semester over and over. Talking the same jokes from class to class. Boring about going to his classes. It is good to have 100 MC exam, because most of the questions are repeated. He will scare you at the begining of the class, to make u study hard. He said"No body gets A in my class" But still a esay grader.
funny- test are sort of hard- Easy going- Get those check points
very good professor, his exams are long, 100MC about 10 pages. you have to read the book and you would be fine on his exam. i got an A from his class. the final exam will from the department. (easier than his exam)
a lot of qs on exam; is any one know about pro.Greenberg?
Mintz was great. I took him during Summer Session 1 last summer at 8:00am and I never once fell asleep or got bored. He's great! - I highly recommend him.
good professor! glad I chose to take his class.
good choice for accounting -funny jokes, fair tests.
Funny, don't forget the all important check points
Great business law professor recommended
This is the 2nd day of class. He is a very nice prof. and is easy to talk to. I am Taking him for the winter session which is only 2 weeks long and I never once got bored in his class. Hopefully his tests are easy.
mid term and final are 100 m.c. each, plus couple of short answers on the final. i had a feeling that the exams were put together years ago and never been revised. wording is sometimes very tricky.
great professor, he's funny and gives a lot of jokes. Would definitely recommend and get as many check marks as you can because its extra credit.
This professor has preference for some students in class. You have to get checkmarks every class in order for you to get a good grade. Not so funny jokes.
I THOUGHT THAT HE'S A GREAT PROFESSOR BUT HE'S NOT. HE DOESN'T TEACH WELL AND HE MAKES SOME CRAPPY JOKES. OBVIOUSLY, HE HAS PREFERENCE OVER STUDENTS.DON'T TAKE HIM. YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR TIME AND YOU WILL NOT LEARN ANYTHING. HE IS PROBABLY THE WORST BUSINESS LAW PROFESSOR IN QUEENS COLLEGE.
Professor Mintz is the best Professor i have ever taken anyone who gives him a bad remark should be ashamed, besides being understanding, he is fair and gives generous curves I wish they were all like him. Long Live Professor Mintz!!!!!
Seriously, he has preferences for "some" students. He even help them during the exam giving them the answers.. not cool. So if u like to kiss his ass and pretend that his jokes are funny take him,otherwise stay away from his class. This is really the worst prof. in qc. Also if ure foreign student and don't speak eng. well forget about extra points.
I'm torn. He's good with respect to curving the LONG exams but he goes off on tangents and definitely uses the same students over and over in his examples. He wasted a lot of time choosing people for the check marks, CHOOSE ALREADY! Sometimes he was funny. Sometimes annoying. Not really clear when you ask him a question. Read the material!
Terrible. Just the worst. He has to be the worse professor ive taken in my life...EVER.
Mintz is THE BEST PROFESSOR IN QC! I took him for 361, 362 and Auditing. He's very clear and gives funny examples about certain cases so that his students can understand the material. True, anyone who gives him a bad remark should be VERY ashamed! Exams are tough but he is fair, understanding and curves big time! I wish they were all like him too..
Stay Away! Take Kirschner instead if you want to learn from a man who is interesting and bright.
He has preferences for some stidents. He wasted so mauch time for choosing students for check plus. Also if you are foreign student and dont speak english well, he never curves you like other students of his preferences. His grading system is not fair and you cannot ask any questions about the grade then you will lose more points from your grade.
Does not teach and wastes 1 hour from an hour and fifteen minutes class to pick his favorite student to read cases from the book.Total waste of time.If you want good grade for your hard work then take some1 else.If you just want to pass the class then take him.
Teach is the man!!! You got to be an idiot not to take his class. Always offer him something to eat and loves mash hearing.
His exams are each 100 questions each and they are long and a little tricky, however he does curve. In order to get extra credit, check marks, you need to be able to raise your hand fast and read aloud in class. He checks attendance and will reduce your grade due to abscesses. Overall I thought this prof. was alright. Makes some corny jokes at time
This guy doesnt know how to teach!His exams r tricky and the material he goes over in class doesnt cover even half of it.If u dont read the book u r doomed.He does have his favorite students but he mostly makes fun of them.The exams r curved a lot(20pts) but that doesnt change the fact that u leave the class knowing nothing.Plenty of stupid jokes!
I took his class this winter session (09) and really enjoyed it. I taught the class discussions were always interesting and he kept the class moving (unlike some teachers that don't know English or don't know what they are teaching). For the class you have homeworks, midterm, and final. If you do the reading and homeworks the test shouldn't be hard
he knows his materials. make sure u get enough check mark. he's test are long and triky, make sure you read the test book and take good class note. he does keep pick on people that he likes. overall i think he is preety good.
HE IS REALLY GOOD AND A NICE PROFESSOR. MAKE SURE U GET CHECK MARKS COS THAT WILL PULL UR GRADE UP. HE IS HELPFUL. U WILL DEFINETLY GET AN A!!!
Not a serious professor, ridiculous elementary school style check mark participation system. 9 out of 10 times will pick his favorite students from previous classes and will make excuses not to pick other students regardless of how often you may attempt to participate, wouldn't be a problem if participation didn't consist of 20% of the final grade
This professor is crazy hard. His exams are 100 questions and he'll cover about a quarter of them in class. His jokes are so corny they'll make you fall asleep. "you got your coffee, you got your bagel, you got your celery soda, and your ready for class. "Row 1 is sympathetic, row 2 is thinking about lunch, row 3 is thinking about supper". He al
IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM GETTING A LOW GRADE, DON'T TAKE ANY COURSE WITH THIS PROFESSOR.HE FAVORS STUDENTS LIKE CRAZY AND TREATS THEM LIKE BABIES BY GIVING CHECK MARKS. 100 QUESTIONS ON MIDTERM AND FINAL LIKE ITS HARVARD UNIVERSITY.
This was def. one of the worst teachers I've ever had. His tests are 100 questions midterm and final.He didnt even return or go over the midterm. He gives check marks like your still in kindergarden. He is simply the laziest teacher youll ever have.over half the students took a nap in his class. he also writes nothing on the chalk board.
Funny guy
I like this guy a lot but I just couldn't give him a high rating because He's not the best and he only gave me a C.
I think he is ok as long as you participate in class you should not get anything under B, but you must participate in his class to get good grade. Otherwise look other options
i like his class. He's willing to help and answer questions. Overall the class is fun and he tries to make business law more interesting.
I was so excited to take this course, and i worked so hard just to get a B. Prof. Mintz is a nice guy, but his 2 tests with 100 m/c on each are extremely wordy for no reason, confusing a lot of good student. Oh, and if ur quiet..try to avoid him becuz participation is important to him. Heavy txtbook use, and he favors some students=/
Nice professor. Pretty good on the material needed for exams and keeps the atmosphere relaxed and light. A lot of reading involved, but that's to be expected. Homework optional, but helpful for exams. Drops lowest grade of exams. Funny guy. Suggested I become a social worker. Will take again.
Best professor ever! He likes to crack jokes during class to make things fun. Here's how to get an A: Act like what he says is really interesting and pander to him regardless what he says. Even if he's wrong. Keep smiling, keep nodding, after a few more hours you'll love it a la Clockwork Orange!
prof. Mintz is an amazing professor, strongly recommend to take him, he is great with curves toooooo
prof. Mintz is an amazing professor, strongly recommend to take him, he is great with curves too i took him for acct 362 w and acct 363 he is simply the best
Not a good professor for auditing. Favors his favorites students ignores the rest. Has a sarcastic personality, could be annoying at the times.
2 very hard exams with big curve, a lot of reading and nothing from class is on exams, exams very confusing and hard, easy B but very, very hard to get A/A- in his class, however, he is funny and class is relaxing, 4 brief cases which you can share with classmate, he has his favorite students so you have stay in first row and act that you are smart
Worst professor I have ever seen at QC.
How do you hate this man? He teaches materials crystal clear and is mostly based on the book you read! He's extremely helpful whenever you have questions. Do your role as a student. Read the book. Go to class. Participate. Those alone will give you good grades. Tests may have hard questions, but REALLY PEOPLE? HE CURVES IT SO BIG, YOU CAN'T FAIL.
The most fair, honest, and helpful professor a student could ever want for accounting. Mintz challenges you to be the best, and has high expectations; he is willing to give whatever time you need to understand and he really cares. We need more teachers like him in this world of mediocrity which we have come to embrace. AAA+++ Rating from 2 classes
This guy is so funny I thought he was awesome! His test are a little rediculous being 100 questions each but only midterm and final. I had him for writing intensive 4 case briefings due the last day of class. I'd definitely recommend
Excellent prof. He explains everything clearly and will answer any questions you have. 100 question exams but gives a VERY generous curve, be a college student, STUDY. Very nice guy. Participation is important, so is attendance. Textbook only required to go over h.w. Uses Aplia.
Gives 100 question midterm and final. Writing Intensive course so there were 4 case briefs due. Gave chance for extra credit by presenting 1 of the cases to the class. H.W and aplia. Nice guy, teaches clearly and he is helpful.
100 Question exams, nice curve. Participation is required for the grade, but easy enough to participate. Pay attention, study and participate. Rec'd all A-'s from 3 courses with him!
slightly above average professor. all comments about him are true . def not an easy A but a easy B. midterm and final was hard but he gave a 20 point curve.
If you're a b person , his the prof. He has a lot of story with him and his buddies. Lol great guy
He is not a good professor for auditing. He just asks student to read the book and offer answers for the hw in classes. He explain nothing to you. You must read the book youself. Exam are from various versions of testbank and you probably get some questions test you something outside the book
He's a great professor, very clear and a really nice guy! I took him for both Business Law I and Business Law II. His exams are 100 multiple choice, but his curves are atleast 20 points! He tries to scare you a little before the exam, only because he wants you to study thoroughly. He gives a good review before exam! Its mostly memorizing. Take him!
He's great! He's so nice and sweet and loves to joke around. He teaches clear, 2 exams, 4 breifcases(aka bookreports) and class participation. His reviews tell you exactly what you need to know for the exam.. study that and you'll be good.
He talks very fast! Extremely fast. I barely could understand him. English is not my first language, but I have never had any problems in understanding professors. I met different professors with different accents. People who seat close to me could not follow him also.
He keeps the class light and relaxed but doesn't give enough info in lectures for the 100 question tests. Need to read the book in order to do well on the tests. There's a nice curve though. He assigns HW but doesn't check it, doesn't seem like anyone really does it. He's a nice guy and if you put in some time outside class you'll do fine.
His tests are hard. Mumbles a lot. Avoid if you can.
Textbook is essential for class! Homework is not checked,although its reviewed when due(strongly suggested). Lectures( esp. exam reviews) are very helpful, gives very detailed examplesscenarios. Exams are 100 questions (mch) and offers extra credit!
He talks very class and class can be very mundaneboring. You must get the book and do the reading if you want to pass the tests. The tests are 100 questions , hard. Avoid if you can, if you cant you must work hard but its possible. He also gives extra credit nearing the end of the semester.
AWESOME!!!!! 2 tests all multiple choice. if you pay attention in class guaranteed A
Dreadfully boring, can't seem to stay awake through his plentiful tangents.
Amazing professors for my best advise take him hes the best i dont know where these negative comments are coming from but in my opinion hes jus too good. 100 MC questions midterm and final
He is a very good teacher. You need to really participate in order to pass. The tests are extremely challenging but if you read each chapter 2 times then you will score at least a 50.
Three MC tests. Gives extra credit. Must participate in order to get a good grade. I would take Prof. Mintz again. He takes interest in students who work hard.
Prof. Mintz was awesome! Gives great examples of subject matter, & clear. No mandatory Homework, but it helps as we go over it in class and participation is a HUGE part of your grade! Show up, participate, put in a little bit of work, participate and participate and you'll do well. Hard tests, but HUGE grading curve!! I will take him again.
Professor Mintz teaches in a clear way and gives interesting real life examples for the concepts. 2 long exams but not very complicated. I totally recommend!
Professor Mintz is really a nice guy and I took him in the Summer. He's an Easy A if you show up and participate. Also he doesn't do Multiple choice exams anymore because he ranted about how students took advantage of his exams. Therefore his exams is all written and it's pretty easy because it's all definitions. He gives good law advice to!
This man is the best professor that QC has to offer. He is kind, caring, and willing to explain to his students. His lectures are entertaining and he is always there with a smile. Overall best professor here!
Mintz is an overall a great professor who cares about his students. He gives life lessons and career advises that would be meaningful later on. as for auditing he gave a lot of relevant examples in real world that I found to be useful. You have to participate in class to do well.
all exams he did short ans ques, on final he put 100 surprising mcq. he dose not teach anything. if he likes you, he will give you a higher grade. most unfair professor I ever take
His exams are short answer and not too difficult at all, but he is a terrible professor. Participation is extremely important and all you have to do is volunteer to read. He does not give any advice for the exam other than look at your notes and his lectures go off on tangents. He is an easy B, but hard to get an A. 80% midterm/ exam is outrageous!
Professor Mintz is one of the most caring and easy professor in the Accouting department. He gives really good law advice, and his test use to be multiple choice but changed it to written. If you want to do well in his class make sure he knows who you are. Hoestly I did better in is law 2 then law1.
Winter Session - 3 exams, 1 final. Optional 3rd to drop lowest. The first 3 exams are short answer/defintions, final is 100 MC test bank. He does assigned seating and he will notice if students leave early. Class participation involves answering hw or reading from the textbook outloud. He favors students in front and will call on them more.
If you gutta take bus law take it with him. Midterm and final gives 15 questions and you only have to answer 10. I would take him again
He's the best professor. He really cares and you'll do fine in his class as long as you try.
Show up, get checkmarks, and you'll pass. Great guy, really funny. Don't need to pay attention in class or study for the final much. Easy A.
Great Teacher, I took him over the Winter break and it was a great decision. He tells you exactly what he wants and his tests are clear and easy. He gives you 20 questions and asks you to answer 10 so it is very easy to get a 100%, even if you don't know all the material or some questions are unclear. Great to take over the winter. Great Class
Take him and see what an amazing class this is. No other comments necessary!
A highly respected professor among students who is willing to help you even outside class and about your career as well. Make sure you read in class to get that participation grade.
His lectures are fast cuz he goes off topic so what I did was write the terms down and listened up for examples. I went to the library, borrowed the book, copy definitions. Its imp cuz thats his exams basically. Did after every class to stay caught up. not everything in the chapter is imp so u gotta go to class. Got an A. Gives snacks in exams!
Great professor, just show up to class and volunteer to read for credit. He makes jokes but he is very nice. Just memorize the terms he mentions because both his tests are short answers.
A genuinely nice guy with fairly easy tests. There's quite a bit of reading but I personally found it interesting.
he's the best choice for business law (both law 1 and 2) for law 2 if you take him for writing intensive (which i am currently) his papers are pretty straight forward choose 4 cases for a TOTAL of 12 pages (so 3 pages for each case) his exams are mostly definitions and are pretty much straightforward. also participate to read to get checkmarks.
The main rundown of his class is you come in, and read cases the whole class. BUT make sure you participate and volunteer to read because you get checkmarks for participation. Very important in getting a good grade. Just one midterm and the final. You get like 20 questions and just answer 10. However, the review for the tests aren't helpful at all
You will definitely need to participate in this class. He favors the first row of the students and would always give a lot of credits to them (participation credit). There are 3 exams, which he will drop the lowest grade on 1 of the 3 exams. Also a final. His test is short questions, no MC. It's hard to tell how he grades it. He is bias.
Reviews were very misleading. Taking in winter, midterm and final. Lectures are useless, I study on my own. He asks those to participate to read ALL CLASS. If you don't read the textbook, you will fail. Exams short answer, which he didn't mention once. He said 15 questions, pick 10 and gave us topics that were really vague.
I didn't study almost at all and i got a B+. He explains everything you need to know in the lecture, but if you want to get an A then you need to study the textbook bc the reviews for the test aren't the best. That being said, getting a solid B is as easy as it gets and he's a funny guy. You'll actually enjoy taking this class
He is really the nicest guy ever, just take him you won't regret it
He gives us what we need to know In order to succeed on his midterm exam.
Do not take him if you're a straight A student and care about learning. If you're a mediocre student on the other hand who can't managet to get past a B-, then do take him. Either way, teaching is not something Mintz if concerned about.
It's no wonder Queens College doesn't have the reputation it once did. The QC accounting department should be embarrassed to employ a man like this (I am embarrassed for them). To even refer to this man as a Professor is an insult to all the Professors out there who truly want their students to learn something in their classrooms. A true disgrace.
If you are a slacker student (you know who you are) who is looking to learn nothing and still come out with a decent grade (B, B+), then this is your class my friend. If you are someone who works hard and is in school to actually learn something, turn around and don't stop running. Stay far away from this sad excuse for a professor.
Nuff said.
The Accounting Department is lucky to have a gem like Professor Mintz. He really shows that he cares about his students and wants them to do well. This was the best class i have taken in QC.
What happens to this school? He should not be a professor. All you need to do is go to the class, make sure to read a textbook infront of him, make friends for exams. Other than that, you will fail. NO STUDY REQUIRED. YOU WILL NOT LEARN anything from him. This is such a shame. Also, there are no enough prof. for Audit in the school. Good luck.
He is great. Take him and you'll have no regrets.
The final exam had 94 questions
He is super nice and is always making jokes. He grades on participation and 3 exams. Participate a lot and do well in exams and you should be fine.
tough grader
He is ok if you want to pass. Didn't teach nothing at all. You can help yourself in the exam iykyk. I dont know how tie grading works and one has no idea what they will get. Overall not a good professor.
