Is a really great teacher. You should take him for ACCT 280.
Couldn't ask for a better teacher for this dreaded class. Take him!
Gacsy is a good teacher, but teaches straight from the powerpoint. Answers any questions in class that you have. Unfortunately all the tests for acct 280 are standardized, so the tests are difficult.
Good professor, very helpful. Tests are standardized and kinda difficult but he makes sure you know what you need for the test.
Good teacher. you will need to buy the wiley plus access code but don't buy the book because it's online. teaches straight from the powerpoints, powerpoints are emailed prior to class. Tests aren't hard if you use wileyplus. no reason you shouldn't get an A!
Mr. Gacsy is energetic about accounting. You can tell he has a passion for it!
Great teacher, down to earth, loves what he does! The same person who creates the WileyPlus quizzes is the same person who generates the test so make sure to study those quizzes.
Helpful and is determined to help you pass with a good grade!
helpful and will do anything to help you get a good grade in the class.
He is a really great teacher and is very helpful. Take him for Accounting 280.
He is a good teacher, ex-marine but surprisingly very scattered. He is extremely nice.
Awesome teacher! Def take him for accounting!
Great teacher...help out if you need it. def take his class
Great teacher....easy if you pay attention... class is not mandatory
He is a good teacher! His class is very helpful for me!
Mr. Gacsy is a very organized teacher. He comes to class prepared everyday and he is very helpful. If you take his course you have to read the book...any accounting course really.
Accounting is such a hard concept to grasp, I think Tim does a fab job with getting the concept across.
I've taken accounting a couple of times and prof gacsy has been the most helpul.
Good professor and nice guy. He does his best to make sure his students succeed.
Very helpful professor. Normally accounting is boring but Mr. Gacsy kept it fairly less boring.
Good professor. Teaches straight from the powerpoint, which are emailed to you prior to class. Attendance is not mandatory, but you should go from time to time. lol
He is a nice person and really wants to see his students get good grades.
Hes a really great professor and wants all his students to do well in his class.
Tells you whats going to be on the tests
This was my first college accounting course and eventhough the material got hard at times, professor Gacsy was really clear in explaining things and he always makes sure you understand it before he moves on. He tells you what to expect on the test and he gives curves!!! Doesn't get any better than that!!
Take him, he rocks! You won't get a better teacher than him for accounting. He wants you to succeed and does all in his power to help.
Gacsy is a good teacher. His objective is not to make the class as hard as possible, but for you to learn a lot. He gives curves when they are appropriate, and prepares the class adequately for tests. I would recommend Gacsy for accounting
Gacsy is an awesome teacher! Really focuses on the class success as a whole. Take him for accounting classes (280, and above)
He's the man!
Very good teacher! He knows his accounting. Take any of his classes!
Take him :)
Best acct teacher at wu by far!! Def take him if you get the chance. He's really nice and teaches straight from the powerpoint, which he emails you prior to class. Class isn't mandatory but tests can be difficult b/c there standardized.
He doesn't really teach unless you ask a question, then he does a pretty good job of clearing it up. However, he does tell you exactly what will be on the test so you can be completely prepared. Definitely the acct teacher to take!
Timothy Gacsy is a like the "accounting teacher for dummies". I don't mean that condescendingly, but if you're a nutrition major who has take one entry level accounting course (I still don't get that), this is the guy to take. He won't rake you over the coals and try to make you a CPA. He also hands out an excellent exam prep sheet. You can't lose!
Take him for accounting! He is a great teacher and knows what he is talking about. He is very helpful and is a fair grader too!
The class itself was a little challenging but he always let us use textbooks during tests and we had one take home test. Don't be fooled by open book tests , you still need to study! But he is a great teacher and always helpful
Great professor. Very Helpful.
Pretty good
The best professor!Easy exams!
Friendly and knowledgeable professor
Okay professor. Nothing to brag about.
He is very nice. Just pick his class you will know why I said that ~
He is a good professor to take for this class. Test are open book but you still need to study. They are difficult if you do not prepare
Good teacher. Usually lets class out early but goes over all the material. test are open book
One of the best accounting professors at winthrop
One of the better accounting professors at Winthrop
Open book tests, but you still have to study for them
good professor.
He is a fabulous teacher! Very helpful!
Helpful and judicious!
Great professor! Take his class!
Take this class because you will learn alot!
Best accounting Professor!
The class covered a lot of material but he was very generous allowing the 3 exams to be open book/notes. Do not let this fool you though studying should still be done in this class..open book does not mean that it's a cake walk. It was a great class and I learned a lot. Very much enjoyed the professor.
Great professor. I would recommend him to anyone interested in the class.
Great teacher, very helpful, explained the material.
Great class! Learned a lot.
Very helpful and is always willing to help. I strongly recommend him as a professor.
Always willing to help but you have to be willing to study and make a valid effort to learn the material. Tests are open note but it won't do you any good if you do not attend class. Strong recommendation.
Learned a lot and I'm not a fan of tax but his willingness to help his students succeed was enough to keep me motivated throughout the semester. Great professor.
Awesome professor, highly recommend him to anybody, and I learned a lot.
Great class really enjoyed it, I would take him again
Great teacher learned a lot. Thought he explained the material well.
Great professor was very knowledgeable. Was always prepared for class. Fair teacher
Very knowledgeable, answered any questions you have. I would take him again
Fairly easy class, made the class fairly interesting, exams are open note and provide a lot of examples to go along with lectures.
Tests and Quizzes were open book but that doesn't mean the class was super easy. If you listen in class & read the chapters, you're guaranteed an "A". Attendance is not mandatory but if you don't go to class you'll miss the quiz for the day. GREAT TEACHER!! I would take his class again.
One of the best professors at Winthrop. I would definitely take his class again.
Great professor. He explains the material very well and he makes sure each student understands the material. He gives relevant examples in class that are useful for his exams. Exams are open book but make sure you study. I enjoyed him.
This class is hard if you dont study. Go to all class so you dont miss the quizes. Gacsy is a great professor and very help. Test is open book but not easy...Study, Study, Study.
The teacher is such a great person. I love taking his class,it is not boring, but interesting!
Great professor!! I like his classes!! If I have a chance, I will take his class again.
Very good professor!
He is the easiest one, open book exams!
High energy professor who knows the material (and his students) extremely well. I wish more professors were like him!
it is really a good course if you are not an accounting major and want to have a basic understanding of accounting. open book test. the mentor is really helpful, so you can feel free to ask him questions at anytime.
Professor Gacsy keeps accounting interesting. The work load for this course is very moderate, and Prof. Gacsy gives plenty of study material, so you may recieve as much practice as you like. Test are open book. Gacsy values critical thinking more than memorization. Great intro class!
Professor Gacsy presents the material in the course very well and makes it easy to understand topics by relating to real world examples. Given the amount of material covered in this course, open book tests are a big help. Overall very good professor
Professer Gascy is a working professional who obviously believes the value of this class is in understanding basic accounting concepts, not in rote memorization. It was a pleasure to be in his class.
Good Professor, with the amount of material, open book tests were extremely helpful
good teacher. open book tests. good summer course.
Good teacher, with the amount of material open book tests were extremely helpful
Professor Gacsy is a great professor. He goes through the powerpoints for each chapter and provides examples that we work on in class. He is a fair test giver and grader with opportunities for extra credit. I strongly recommend him for an upper level acct class.
Gacsy was awesome. He thoroughly went through his notes and the book with examples. The open book tests were a great help. He taught the material in a way we could understand. He was great.
Tim was a cool professor. He gave us open book texts so it was less about memorization and more about knowledge. He gave us examples in class too.
Professor Gacsy was really helpful; he answered any of my questions that I had and gave out practice tests and examples for the material we went over. He was intersting and funny in class. I would recommend him to anyone.
Gacsy was a good professor. He answered my emails timely, gave open book tests, and was a fair grader
The book was the same as ACCT 401, so that helped. He gave plenty of examples, went over the material, and let us use our books for the test. Good professor and a cool guy!
summer class went by fast. he was respectful of our time, realistic, and helpful with questions and examples. He is hot too
this class went by fast in the summer, did one chapter a week, full of powerpoints, examples, he was a good professor- funny, helpful, appreciated that alot.
Good teacher, but very hard tests.
tests were hard, but he did go over material beforehand. Funny guy, good personality, cool professor.
Great guy. He is funny and knows what he's talking about. Goes over material in class, but tests are difficult.
professor knew the material, went over stuff, open book, but tests were not easy. good luck, he was fun to have.
Great teaching skills and made sure students understood material. Very helpful and doesn't take himself too serious-made class fun and interesting. Tests and quizzes are open book but dont be fooled-you must study and be familar with the material if you want to do well in the class. Overall, Really enjoyed professor Gacsy and his class.

If you have a choice, this is who u want!!!!
He is a great guy...
great professor, knows how to explain hard topics in easy to use fashion
This guy is great. knows his stuff real well. helps out the class with curves and EC. he wants you to do well.
Very good professor! He knows his stuff and wants students to excel in his class. He is willing to go above and beyond to help out in any way he can, especially with generous curves and extra credit. If you have a choice of professors, make sure you choose him!
Professor Gacsy knows his stuff really well. He makes things easy to comprehend. His attitude is great. I would describe him as an easy going professor; however don't take his class for granted. The content is not difficult, but there is a lot to remember so be diligent in your studies. Overall, Gacsy is an excellent choice.
Gives extra credit points on each test..he makes it hard to not get an A
He clearly knowns a lot about accounting however it often felt that we were just reading through the powerpoint slides. While all of the handout material was great to study with some additional & different in case examples would have been great to tie concepts together.
Prof. Gacsy is a very helpful and delightful teacher. He wants to give students the opportunity to succeed. However, I feel that the level of difficulty for the material taught did not match the level of difficulty tested.
Great teacher. Knows his stuff. Take him; you won't be disappointed.
not an easy class but professor gacsy will make sure you pass
easy class. be sure to have ppt's prepared for class instead of the text bc lecture is ppt-based. text is recommended
excellent teacher!
Professor Gacsy is definitely recommended for this course. It was a pleasure to be in his class and I have learned so much in one semester.
Professor Gacsy's lecture is based on the slides, and the test are fairly easy to understand if you attend the study sessions. He grades beyond fairly and is definitely recommended for this course.
Is passionate about the subject and works really hard to help students understand.
Great professor that is very knowledgable about accounting. Shows great concern for the students and is very interested in seeing them succeed.
Great Professor. If you can choose who you want to take for ACCT 305 I would choose Gascy! He's very helpful and one of the best professor's at Winthrop!
Great professor, very helpful to students!
He is a nice guy who wants students to do well in his class, however you are at a disadvantage being that he does not make the exams for the class. Goes straight through slides and attendance is not mandatory
Great Professor!!!
Take him!!!
The material isn't very simple, but professor Gacsy makes it a lot more understandable.
Very understanding!!! Great professor
Fun teaching style
He is very clear when he teaches and is very helpful if you have any questions.
Cares about your performance
Professor Gacsy was awesome and really worked hard for his students. He gave out lots of extra credit and was a great instructor.
I strongly recommend that you take him.
This guy knows his stuff!!! Great professor, take him!
Intermediate Accounting is when things get tough, but Gacsy makes it a lot more simple, and he's good looking!!
Even though attendance isn't required I would try not to miss any days in this class.
Great professor, I highly reccommend him!
Makes class interesting, and doesnt have just another boring lecture
The best teacher in the Accounting department, hands down!!!
Breaks instructions down really well!!
This class is really challenging. Professor Gacsy challenges students while looking out for their best interest.
Good Professor, Take his class
He teaches off of PowerPoint, so there is no need to buy the book.
Just attend class. Everything you need to know is on the slides. If you don't pass, it's your own fault.
Professor G strikes again!
VERY KNOWLEGABLE, WONDERFUL PERSONALITY, MOST HELPFUL.
Tells you exactly what you need to know. Very helpful. Exams aren't bad at all. Go to class, even though attendance is not mandatory. He's always a good time- makes everyone laugh. Also, lots of extra credit opportunities and curves the tests. Wants students to be successful. Great professor, but you need to learn to love powerpoints.
Awesome professor! His number one goal in this class is to help each and everyone succeed. Attendance is not mandatory but I advise everyone to go to class. He is very funny; always provides a good time in class. If you put forth effort you should do well in this class. Lectures are always power points but at least everything is always concrete.
Great professor I wish every one of my professors had his attitude
Even though attendance isn't mandatory, he keeps the classes entertaining. Show up, do the homework, and make sure to attend the review classes.
Great teacher
While attendance is not mandatory if you want to succeed go to class!Definitely go to the review classes if nothing else! Good professor, tries to keep the class interesting will help you as much as he can.
Good professor, interested in helping students pass. Uses powerpoints from the book company so the book is helpful to clarify some things you may not understand. Attendance is not required but encouraged so if you want to pass with an A I would suggest you go to class!
Good professor. Come to class even though its not required if you want to pass, especially come to the review classes they are helpful in passing the exams.
Great teacher really helpful
While attendance is not mandatory if you want to succeed go to class definitely go to the review classes if nothing else
no need to go to class uses a powerpoint
Power-points are very helpful!
I recommend any class taught by Mr. Gacsy
Very helpful
Mr. Gacsy cares a lot was very fair when it came to wanting his students to succeed. He was willing to help whenever needed and is able to relate and understand that college student don't want to sit in class every night scheduled for hours listening to someone teach. He is very knowledgeable about the subject also.
Great class. Mr. Gacsy is genuinely invested in the success of his students, and really tries to get everyone to understand some pretty difficult material at times. He also responds pretty quickly to e-mails. I would take any class he taught.
He is a great teacher! The tax material is tough, but he makes the content on his exam straightforward and fair. No tricks. He lectures from PowerPoint and works lots of example from the textbook. He also uses real world examples. His class is a great use of a working professionals'limited time.
Very knowledgable of the material and very helpful in and out of class. Likes to see students succeed.
Great professor; helpful and knowledgeable about the subject.
Mr. Gacsy helped make very technical tax material much more enjoyable. He used plenty of examples and worked to engage the class. Good class, good instructor!
He is an excellent teacher who truly cares about his students. I cannot find fault in the course nor the professor.
