Very concerned about students success!
Boring teacher,gets very upset if you are late for class and will ask you why you are late in front of everyone. He did this every class to anyone late! Not very helpful.
strait to the point. teaches right out of the book. Im not the best student but if you do the work you will get an A like me : ). He makes some jokes when people are late but im late all the time and then stoped going to class and showed up for the test
Why take this class if you are already an acct professional??? he treats you like you should have been doing this your whole life. Not helpful and goes way too fast. Don't waste your time
more than half of the class withdrew
Horrible, went through curriculum too fast, taught as if everyone knew how to do the work already. and alwasy said good luck.. kinda weird
one of the worst teachers ive ever had. teaches the class as if everyone already knows it. extremely fast paced. dont take him.
Horrible!! Sucks!!! May know his stuff, but not realy a good teacher. There is a difference and a thin line between these two. Too fast, doesn't relate well to the book; uses different terms than those that are in the book, making it hard to understand.
do not take this professor for anything.
Do Not Take this teacher!!! He does not go over vocabulary in the beginning and expects you to know everything. Just when you think you understand what he is talking aobut he runs off in tangents and leaves you confused.
This man cannot teach. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. THE WORST I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!
I enjoyed this class. In fact, now I am considering majoring in accounting. If you do all of the work he assigned, you will learn the material and ace his class. You have to study and do the work! Stay for class for the pop quizes!!
Not clear... excelent at accounting... not teaching!! I taught my self during this course.
I liked his class. If you did the homework, then it was understandable. After taking his class, i am going into accounting.
WORST TECHER EVER!!! TALKS FAST AND GIVES ALOT OF HOMEWORK! HARD TESTS! DONT EVER TAKE HIM
I had to take accounting 3 times before I passed it - I thought this guy was great!
Arcuri stop rating yourself! I did all the homework and got tutoring an made a C. If you already took the class once maybe you'll get the pop quiz. No one got the pop quizs. He abriviates everything to confuse you. Test has nothing to do with what he shows you in class. Take him and you will suffer.
I had hem last term, and I think he's great! He know the stuff so well. If you are willing to learn, you will learn a lot from him.
I had this professor and he can not teach at all. He may know the material himself but he doesnt explain it very while.when you start off with a full class and you end with 15 students something is wrong their. His favorite saying is debit thisand credit this and good luck to you on figuring it out.
I have this teacher now and he is very unclear...His personailty is entertaining at times but as far as the material I find it difficult to comprehend what he is trying to say. He jumps from subject to subject in the matter of a second...Very Unclear
I loved this teacher. I feel that he was very clear in stating that he was there to answer any questions if you had them. If you don't read it, at LEAST DO THE HOMEWORK! I'm not sure where the unclarity is coming from b/c he promptly responded and was very knowledgable if you asked. Definately recommend and I'll be back in his class for ACG2027.
Good class. Just do the reading and homework. I would save the HW till b4 the test and it made great review. Some of the reviews said he couldn't teach, and I would agree that his lectures can be very boring, but it's accounting. What did u expect? Cartwheels and fireworks. Wake up and pay attention in class! Looking forward to ACG 2071.
If you want to learn about personal finance do it online or take a public session at an H&R Block. This class was rediculous, and so was the teacher. I did not learn a thing in this class, his lectures are off topic from the tests and when you ask him a question he remains off topic. no help whatsoever. If you have to take this, transfer campuses.
Don't take this professor for this class. His lectures are pointless and he rambles on and on. His tests are impossible with the average grade usually being around a 57%. Our class is at mid-term and we only have about 8 people left. Take this class online or with someone else if you want to learn and get a good grade.
DO NOT TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR IF YOU REALLY NEED HANDS ON HELP WITH EXAMPLES OR QUESTIONS. THIS INSTRUCTOR FAVORITE WORD IS "GOOD LUCK" VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH ONE-ON-ONE OR IN CLASS ALMOST LIKE AN DRILL MAJOR FOR THE ARMY OR SOME FORM OF THE BAD ARM FORCES. DO NOT LEAVE THE CLASS ROOM EVEN FOR THE BATHROOM OR TO GET SOMETHING TO DRINK HE TAKES POINTS
This class is the hardest I have taken and Im an A student. I took it online and you pretty much do everything on your own and your grade is just based on tests and spreadsheet (if you have never done them get help before the class). I failed all the tests, the only thing that helped me was the spreadsheets and that his grading scale is 5 pts. lowe
Read the book if you can stay awake and listen to Arcuri say "good luck to you"..Its a lose lose situation. But what do you expect? its accounting...
Read chapters 1-4 and take this test! that is what you get with this class. This professor teaches like most students understand the glorious world of accounting at the CPA level. When he answers questions, they can be vague and confusing. Do the homework, read the material and good luck.
i don't like this teacher. listen to everyone else ... he can't teach and he is insane. save yourself the trouble and DON'T TAKE him. he his the worst teacher i have ever had.
This subject is hard therefore its not the Mr Acuris fault that people fail the class. I am taking it right now and its one of the hardest classes ever. he knows a lot and i would say he is better than 80% of accounting teachers out there.
Online class: Prof Arcuri has got to be one of the most uninterested teachers I have ever had. Emails are met with swift response, however, when he writes to you, he belittles you and talks to you like you have no idea what you are doing. His class is very self taught, he does not help whatsoever in your learning. Take any teacher except for him.
OVERALL EASY, WHEN COMPARING TO UNF TEACHERS.... NOT VERY CLEAR ON INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXCEL PROJECTS, BUT PRETTY EASY!!
I don't know what the others are talking about. I'm in his class right now and he's the greatest teacher I've had. If you take this class online, then of course you're probably not going to do that well, Accounting is very difficult to teach to yourself. If you have to take accounting, I highly reccomend you take it in person with this teacher.
Terrible teacher. Do not take him unless you want to spend hours on homework. The book used in class is horrible at explaining accounting. I strongly suggest you do not take him. In the beginning of class there were not enough seats for everyone, but now halfway through the course there are plenty of empty chairs. Alot of people dropped the class.
Very good class. Has a different approach but uses an online homework program that helps a lot. He will spend time with you after class if you need help, has 4 tests with excel projects for each. Homework is important, chapter outlines and attendance help grade. Just pay attention and do homework and tests will be easy.
Very experienced. Gives a lot of home work, but this helps for tests. He tries to oversimplify questions and answers in class, but since he has been in accounting for so long, you can tell he has difficulty relating basic concepts at times. Tough attendance policy. Asks a lot of questions and very helpful if you have questions. Curves tests.
I'm in Man. Acc. right now and I took Fin. Acc. last semester with Arcuri. He is an awesome teacher, keeps you the entire class period which is good because he teaches the entire time. Take this accounting with this teacher!!!
I'm currently taking his class & I am seriously thinking about dropping it so it will not mess up my grade point average. I think he is a very bright man, but not a good teacher & the textbook leaves like to be desired. Don't know if he is helpful, I have never asked him any questions. After sitting in class w/ him for over an hr you want to run.
Professor is very nice and helpful. His class is set up so you learn the material. I skated by with a C very easy, but if I had put effort into and actually cared about this subject then it would have been an easy A. I would definitely take this teacher a second time if I could!
I have this teacher in the online*only* setting. You only read the book, he is there for questions only. Hmwk is online and pretty rough. His syllibus says, if you dont understand the text, you will not pass the class. His big thing is learning is the students responsibility. This is his excuse not to teach the class. Do NOT take his online class!
Found it easiest to print out the online homework and jot notes on them and use them to study for his tests. The answers to the HW were already posted on Blackboard(didn't know til halfway through the semester). Excel projs were easy, follow the instructions. Counts attendance. Reading notes due on test days. Intimidating at first but mellowed out.
Not and easy class, but you will learn Accounting. Mr. Acuri is very politically correct and matter of fact, he does not play favorites. Study for the tests and you will do good. He covers all of the material, no surprises come test time. Great teacher if you would like to learn Accounting, not so good if you are trying to skate through school.
Not a good teacher for online course-does not put any announcments up or make contact with his students. We cover alot of valuble info tho. Maybe he is better teaching in a classroom.
Not the easiest teacher but willing to help. you MUST do work in this class but if you put in effort you will come out with a working knowledge of accounting.
OMG! I am so glad i am done with this class. Material is so hard but professor is very good at teaching the material. You MUST study and you MUST read the book throughly to understand finanical accounting.
Took this class online, it is a lot of work and reading but valuable info. He does not make much contact with students so your pretty much on your own. If you read textbook and do assignments you will pass.
This guy is the worse ever. The work is long, if you are going to take this class make sure you have no life. He is no help at all. I had to withdraw from this class. Oh don't even bother calling him, he is obnoxious and useless.
Don't take this guy online , he is terrible.
took online easy A no disc board required hw on book website 4 spreadsheets 4 online tests the hw spreadsheets and 4 tests are your whole grade no midterm no final for people who r not smart enough to learn from a book do not take this class like all online classes the instructor is not there to teach if u need to be taught do not take online class
Worst online class I've ever taken. Got a B, Before this class I had a 4.0 GPA but not anymore after this class. Test are your whole graded which doesn't give you room to succeed. Never responds to emails on time. Doesn't really teach
Its true. If you have no life than this professor is perfect for you. Makes you write a summary on every page of text in the text book and grades you on it. If you have these "reading notes" available on the day he will discuss that chapter he'll give you extra credit. Otherwise he's rude and condescending. I don't recommend at all!
Okay, I was in his class on campus, and I want to say that yes it is tough, but there are resources at your fingertips that mean there is no reason you shouldn't have the ability to make at least a B in his class if not an A. I made a B and I missed his class for about a week and a half for personal reasons and I was unprepared for the final.
Teacher was extremely rude and unhelpful. Every time I came to him with questions he laughed that I didn't understand the information. Slowly responded with emails. Very discouraging. Tests are 75% of the grade (10-15pg tests) & all other work is practically meaningless to do. Tests do not reflect lecture or homework AT ALL. Horrible class!!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He is completely unprofessional and is not helpful AT ALL. He rambles on and on about future chapters instead of the work at hand. Also, LOTS of homework and it's mandatory. There were 32 students at the beginning of the semester and by the end only 5 were left. Please, safe yourself the headache.
This is the worst teacher I have ever had. He is EXTREMELY unorganized and unprofessional. His lectures are all over the place. Personally I am a terrible test taker and his tests are 75% of your grade. I have an A on everything else and I have terrible test grades. His tests are also way harder than the actual homework. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!
Online accounting.I was scared to email questions due to comments but he was very helpful! Not at all like comments suggest. I'm honestly confused. Mcgraw-hill book & website are THE BEST I've had in online classes so far. I DID have an interest in accounting before the class, maybe that is the difference. Weighted grades are fair in my opinion.
I'm not gonna lie this class is hard. I will say that anyone who slammed this professor was probably lazy, and or wanted an easy grade. He tells you 80% of you won't make it and he wasn't lying out of 26-28 student on day one only 7 could hang. You really got to study and read for the exams which are 75% of your grade.
THIS PROFESSOR IS HILARIOUS! It is a difficult class though. He tries to make the lectures entertaining, he seems like he's all over the place but if you read ahead of class, you will get exactly what he's talking about, come prepared. HW and TESTS are online, but he gives plenty of opportunities for extra points. Goodluck.
You determine your own grade in this class. Class was BORING...but this Professor gives you a fair chance at passing his class. Procrastination with assignments or pure laziness will kill your grade. There is a lot of work, but he grades fairly!
This class simply comes down to how much time you put into it. Read the chapters he tells you before class, do the online homework, and do well on the test. The test are 75%, online work 7%, Reading notes(each chapter) 3%, and spread sheets 15%. The four 50Quest. test are what will make or break your grade.
If you are an accounting major take this guy. I took him, got an A. You have to work really hard. But this is a base class for accounting students. Hard discipline here makes UNF's accounting classes much much easier.
Arcuri's grading is consistent and easy to understand. There are extra credit quizzes. He gives a lot of assignments but they are easy, relevant to the tests, and things you want to take away from the class. If you want to lean something, take this class. Don't take it if you just want to skate by; you will not do well.
hard to topic to teach, but this professor sure makes it entertaining with the way he teaches. Yes lots of homework, but it gives you a good chance at passing with a decent grade despite bad test scores. Learned way more with him than the UNF professors that throw you out on your own.
I will never recommend this teacher to anyone! He is so disorganized and does not care to help anyone. He goes on tangents about topics from days ago that he forgot. I have a 3.5 GPA and nearly failed his class. Hardest class and worst teacher I have ever had.
Believe me. Don't take this class. It's better to read the book and researching on Google than going to class and spend time with him. I know Accounting is not easy, but I don't think he helps you with his way of teaching. Handout and pop quiz by his handwriting. OMG, it's so messy and hard to figure out. WORST CLASS EVER!
Going to class was not helpful, the lectures and homework don't help with the tests. It's passable, but a lot of work with not a lot of reward. He asks a lot of questions and asks if there are questions, but doesn't just cover the material as if we didn't know it. Also, his questions on his assignments can be unnecessarily confusing.
I'm an A student, have been all of my life and passed this class with a C. VERY tough grader! Not clear with what is expected. Incredibly particular with assignment formatting but does not explain how to set them up. If you have ANY questions regarding the SS assignments, ask and be OVERLY SPECIFIC with your question. This class was a full time job
Terrible for online.
Took this class online along with two other classes. This class needs to be priority if you take it online with this professor. Tough tests and spreadsheet assignments that don't have clear directions. Each time I emailed him a question he would respond with quotes from the syllabus. It is very tough to learn things when you don't get answers..
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. 34 of the class to begin with dropped the class and now there's about 8 of us remaining. No one in the class has an A, and I'm barely making it through with a low B. Even though the tests are online and you can take it at home, they're still really tough. Don't expect to make an A or maybe even a B in this class.
Wow I did not expect this class tp be so tough. Prof is funny, uses relatable examples but kind of jumbles around the lectures. Expect so much hw, you won't have social life. You have the take home quizzes (fairly simple), online hw (LONGinteractive pres w quizzes throughout, 3 sets of question types, and then the 2 hour exam after ea. couple chs)
Its a tough class, but worth it. I learned a lot from him. A lot of works, but if you do your work on time, You will get A. He is funny guy
Its not an easy subject in itself, but this prof doesn't make it any easier. Extremely tough grader and anytime you ask a question, he either responds with a one word answer or just seems completely annoyed. I took the class online, and am normally an A student, take a different prof!!
Not necessarily a difficult subject but no feedback from professor and very unclear on expectations. I usually do not recommend not to take a professor but I would not take him again. I went very heavy with 6 classes, including calculus. Received 5 A's and one C. Professor seems intrigued by making class very difficult without helping students.
Go to class, do all the work, and participate in class. This helps your grades if you fall a little short.
Worst professor I have ever had and the first D i have received in college. Was no help when you asked for help. He teaches you stuff then tells you, you wont need to learn it.
Very unclear as to how he took attendance as while the sign in sheet and his syllabus stated he did take attendance he claimed in class that he only looked into how your doing on online work and would only drop you for falling too far behind. He reads off the same text as your online presentation so there is little to no point in attending class.
Took this class online. Self teach, test and practice through software. What Professor? Tests are cumulative. If you can't self teach, don't take this class online.
The worst class I have ever taken. I am trying to be fair by saying he is nice however he is so unorganized and his lectures are all over the place it makes an already dull and difficult subject agony. I am not a finance major so this class is a struggle. No consistency in study materials pretty much leaves you in the dark when taking tests.
Accounting was really tough for me but this professor is not test heavy. He gives more points toward the homework and interactive activities. So, if you do all of your homework and activities you will be sure to pass even if you do not have the best test scores. He is very responsive to emails. Very professional. Great teacher.
He expects you to watch the video presentations as you go, so you'll be constantly lost if you're not keeping up. Ask questions, he'll slow down accordingly for the class, will keep skipping ahead if everyone seems alright. Attendance isn't necessary if you can keep up with just the online material, but would be good to show up to the first few.
Do not take his accelerated course if you enjoy having any free time whatsoever. He gives a chapter of work (a ppt lecture with roughly 70 slides that are interactive) and 3 separate home work assignments due every 3 days. Not to mention you only have a 48 hour window for exams that are typically smack in the middle of the week. Completely ridic.
Ok listen up if you take this class be prepared to work it as like a full time job. You have no social life when taking it online or in class. Good luck passing the class if you fall behind what so ever. Most likely you will have to retake it at least once if you have him for your first time.
Now hold on! I am an accounting major and I NEVER had problems with it in high school, but I don't know if I just fuzzed out or what? I never had to cram so much reading and book work all in such a short period of time. He's respectable in some areas but a bear in others. Get ready to read, work, and hopefully learn.
Awsome class and professor, was very clear with due dates and things to be done by yourself.
Professor and I perhaps emailed once. He does reply back quickly. I had a harder time towards the end of the term as the material was an extension of what we learned in the beginning. It's helpful to grasp everything from day 1 as you dive deeper into the textbook. It's a harder course if you are a full-time student with other assignments.
This is a super honest review. Professor replied back to my email within minutes and answered/helped me with the content. This is my first accounting course, and it is really hard, but it's not the professor's fault. McGraw Hill Connect is used for assignments and it is very hard to navigate as it doesn't help you and it just says you got it wrong.
