He rocks! You should definetly choose him as your professor. Very helpful,reasonable grader, fair tests and quizzes. After I lost my self confidence in accounting due to a really bad prof he helped me gain my confidence back. 2 thumbs up for him!

Awsome teacher. Light on the homework but you still learn everything.

Mr. Tripetti is a great teacher! If you attend every class session and study the homework problems he assigns, you will do great in the class. He is very clear in his lectures and has alot of patience. Just show effort and you'll be fine.

He is the greatest. Very helpful and considerate.

he is funny

Tripetti Rocks!! He knows how to teach and his tests are easy as long as you study. Just do the homework and you'll do good. Oh and he's a big Eagles fan so wear a Eagles shirt the first day to get on his good side.

There were 26 ppl left in class in his accelerated 6 wk winter course. He didn't leave any chapters out, might be too much for some. He has bad handwriting

he's not the nicest person on earth, but he teaches well and very clear. as long as you do the homework and pay attention in class it is very possible to get an A.

Awesome teacher! Pay attention in class and you should be fine. In long semesters...22% out of 100 is easy work including homework, and in class work. He even drops the lowest test score! He is very helpful and loves teaching he may give the wrong first impression though!

if you can't understand/learn about accounting from Mr Trippetti, you have earned the right to begin your career as a fast food cashier.

I love Mr. Tripetti so much! He explains everything very well. Allows you to drop 1 test out of 5 tests. The rests are homework, in-class exercises, comprehensive problem using PASS software, and extra credit. Make sure you attend the class so you won't miss any in-class exercise. A is definetely possible with moderate effort. MR. TRIPETTI ROCKS!!!

great professor. teaches really well and very clear. not an easy A but if u study, u'll get the A

He rocks! You may think he is a mean guy at first but once you get to know him...he's awesome he cares about teaching and his students...and even though he is part time, he is still willing to take his time to help you with difficulties...He gives lots of examples and goes over the work...just pay attention in class and do the homework!

Don't take Accounting with this guy.He sucks,makes you feel easy until the final.My friends and I got 90%+ before final and it turns out that we all get B's.Easy to lose points on tests and cumulative final.Doesn't give marginal grade,even if your grade is 89% after final.Pick another prof.

clear lessons. Must put in your part and read and do your homework

Very good professor! If u pay attension in the class u will get gd grade. very clear lectures and full of example. he can remember all ur name and result ...so cool...i got an A in his class

As i said regarding Accounting 1...if you can't understand/learn about accounting from Mr Trippetti, you have earned the right to begin your career as a fast food cashier. It's really that simple.

Most of you complaining that's he's a bad teacher can't even spell correctly. This guy is probably the best teacher at SMC. He knows the subject and cuts out all the BS you don't need. Tests are fair, the final is fair, and from beginning to end his course is a good experience for serious acctg/business majors, and even the not so serious. A+ tchr.

Hard hard class. I took this over winter, so i highly suggest that this class prob would have been easier over a longer period of time. the tests were really hard for me. i studied my ass off on his tests and i always got Cs. And the final is like neverending....took me forever.

need more challenging test,... very easy class

Easy going teacher, not much homework. I was getting a B in the class the whole way through, without really studing just going to class and doing the HW. I ended up with a C (missed a B by 2%) because i blew the final and got a D on it.

He is my favorate teacher in SMC. He is really nice and care the students. Also, he teach acctg very clearly. The test is really easy. If you want to study acctg and get a A. Take him!

Awesome professor who realizes that not everyone is an accounting major. He does his best to explain the material and really helps students make it through the course. If you don't pass his class I suggest you evaluate your own efforts rather than look up professors' ratings... You won't hate accounting after taking it with him :)

He is very nice, and he explains all the stuffs clearly. There are HW in the summer section, but he didn't collect them. He gives a review before all the tests and exam. His class is extremely easy, if you want to get an A, TAKE HIM !

I don't know if Accounting 1 is easy by itself, or the teacher makes it easy, but one thing's for sure, this guy is awesome. Winter session he does not collect homework. It's there to help you study. drops 1 out of the 5 tests. + a Final and 2 comprehensive problems and daily exercises that arent worth much and just review the material for the day

Mr. Tripetti understands that accounting is a rather dry subject and that not everyone is majoring accounting. He explains everything clearly and goes over examples step-by-step. His tests are just like the study guide with answers online so if you have the slightest clue, you will get a B and if you actually open the book then you'll get an A.

can anybody let me now if I can still pass this class with little knowdlegde od acc1? i took acct1 two years ago and i dont remember much.

To the comment below: You might struggle since there is no time to go over the basics, so audit one of the acctg 1 class. He's a good lecturer. Clear and precise. Do the HW and you should do well in the class. he's easy going too and would always have discussion on European soccer or tennis. Overall a nice person and a gr8 teacher. take him

great professor.lecture is very clear. not an easy A tho. i don't know why ppl here say he's easy but from my experience his tests are very fair. not easy not difficult. only 1/3 of ppl always get an A on the midterm tests. and you don't need scantron coz the tests are not multipul choices. overall i really liked professor Trippetti.

W09 Qtr. Excellent professor. Clear, precise Lectures, kind and generous w/student questions. Chptr quizzes+project+4 tests+final=grade. Solns, study guides, handouts, practice quizzes posted online. Attend class, open book, do homework, get easy A -- learn too! Highly recommend.

The best accounting teacher! Very clear and fair. If you study, you'll get an A.

Plain and simple: THIS GUY IS FANTASTIC. Learned so much and got me excited about accounting. He made everything make sense. He pretends to be a strict, ridged guy- but you won't find a teacher who genuinely cares about his students more. An excellent professor, and an excellent person. Thank you Prof. Trippetti!

Prof.T is AMAZING/!He's the best acct teacher;take him!He cares for students, wants em to succeed.He grades fairly,expects you to study, and his in-class examples are the basic setups for tests(study em!).Managed a C/B-barely studied book-but came to EV'CLASS-summer lost, but it was worth it-finally passed-No more acct!THANK YOU Prof.T-YOU ROCK!!

Professor tripitti is the best teacher i've ever taken through my college years. he truly care about his students and what he teaches.he want the best for his students & does whatever 2 help.his exams are based on quiz.attended every class and listen carefully to his lectures &you will get an easy "A"He goes over what is on test. BEST TEACHER EVER!

Best teacher I had! He explains everything clearly and cares about his students.Makes the class interesting &fun. Tests aren't hard if you do class exercises & hw. Thanks prof!!!

If you are a math person or someone who has to practice probs to get them, this is not the prof for you. He is ok and goes over the material, but either you can watch him and get it or not. He does the probs not you. So when you take the tests, they are hard b/c you didn't have any practice. I like Bernstein,but he is for you if u have photo memory

Prof. Trippetti is by far one of my favorite professors ever. He was very helpful and straightforward in his teaching techniques. He excludes some topics and gives you more problem solving which isnt hard TRUST ME! Everything about this class was just great, if I could take this professor again I WILL! Once again, if u are taking acctg 2 TAKE HIM!

Great Professor. Funny, sarcastic, interested in students learning the material.

THE BEST ACCOUNTING PROFESSOR! He explained everything crystal clear! He gives both text-book and real-life examples! Do the additional exercises and you'll ace his exams! RECOMMENDED

I don't know what I was thinking taking ACCTG 2 in Winter, 13 chapters covered in 4 weeks. With that being said, TRIPPETTI IS THE PROF YOU NEED. Final exam covers the last 7 chapters out of 13 chapters. He does all the in-class exercise on the board without any time being given to individuals to work on the exercise beforehand.

Great professor who truly cares for his students. He is TOO nice and often will give you boosts and extra credit for your grade. Tests are from his notes and book. You honestly do not need to study that much to pull off an A. I think I ended up with almost a 100% even when putting in minimal effort. Funny teacher though.

Very good professor and really cares about his students. Hw on every chapter, chapter in class exercises, 1 project, 4 test, 1 final. He explains every examples on the board and some hw questions. Prepares study guide for tests. He makes the class very active, and give reality examples. Book needed and attendance is must

Really good professor !!! help every student with questions !!! he's is funny !!!!! you should take him !!!!

I love Prof Trippetti!!! Such a great teacher. He is a lot of business experience to share, he is extremely funny, and he can teach the material very clearly. If you have any questions he is always there and doesn't mind to answer.

Guys, listen up! If you are interested in business or finance field, YOU MUST TAKE THIS CLASS. As many of you already know that professor Trippetti used to be a CFO of LA Gear. He knows what you are curous about. He is very generous about grade that you will get a good grade too even thoughthe test may be a little hard. He is very humorous too!

MR. Trippetti is the best professor I have ever had in SMC. I highly recommend this guy. He is very charismatic and he alway talks about his life as an accountant. if you want to take this class you have to study hard, but is gonna be fun.

I can describe Mr. Trippetti in one word AMAZING!!! TAKE HIS CLASSES, HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR THAT I HAVE EVER HAVE IN SMC !!!

Definitely one of my favourite professors. Took him in the Winter where the course was really intense but he provided really good study guides. He actually wants you to do well, that's why he's big on giving out partial credit on tests and exams. He jokes around and keeps the class interesting. Great if you also want to learn about stocks.

Absolutely wonderful teacher and person! Took him for the winter 6-week session, it was harder, of course, but he is very very helpful and willing to help. Covers more than the book does, which is very helpful if you like accounting (and I only realized I liked it while taking his class). Take him, if you have a chance, you won't regret it

Amazing professor, very knowledgeable, sarcastic sense of humor. Always helpful and explains everything in detail. Study a lot, tests are long and intense, but if you do his study guides you'll be fine. Not an easy class, but you'll definitely learn a lot about accounting! One of the top 3 professors I've taken at SMC easily!

He really is a great professor, he is clear about what is going to be on the tests and gives you study guides for every single one. He is not a hard grader, very fair and gives enough opportunities for extra points. He was annoyed by my lack of attends(he's really on top of it) but I appreciated his teaching method with accounting.

I took him for accounting 1 and he was a great teacher! He basically does the homework for you in class with plenty of other examples to practice. All the homework is through econnect online so there's plenty of ways to study. I will take him again for Accounting 2.

Very gentleman, funny, and willing to answer all your questions. If you want to learn accounting, I think he is amazing professor.

Professor Trippetti is a great professor with a nice sense of humor, great teaching skills and exceptional experience in the field. He does have pop quizzes so you have to pay attention and attend class. To get an A pay attention in class and do the reviews in the book.

If you don't like sarcasm, don't him. In all honesty, he is the best professor I had so far. My class was 2 and half hours long but he made the lectures entertaining with is stories and jokes. Exams are decent but he has a lot of sources to help you. I am definitely taking him again next semester.

Prof. Trippetti is one of the best teacher i ever had. He is very helpfull and tries to help every student individually before and after class. His class is so much fun and he is a very kind person. I studied a lot and never missed a class and got a A. If you pay attention to his lecture you will pass. I will take him for Accounting 2 as well.

Professor Trippetti is an excellent professor who brings the "real world" into academia considering his experience as a former executive (use to be the CFO at L.A. Gear) . He is sarcastic, witty, and a bit of a cynic (in a good way) which makes the class enjoyable and bearable considering a class like Accounting which is suppose to be boring.

Everything went over in class was on the test, study guides were crystal clear, and the puns during lectures/on classwork were a nice touch. Prof. Trippetti genuinely cares about his students' success and understanding. Literally one of the best.

amazing professor, he really cares about his students. I can't wait to take ACC 2 with him again

Best professor of all time, I really mean it. He is straight to the point, easiest A, funny, and amazing. I learned a lot from this professor. He does not just stick to the book, instead he tries to get the best out of us to be prepared in the real world. I would take his class a million times.

Trippetti is a great professor. He knows his stuff and communicate it very well. I respect him greatly and recommend him highly.

The man is a great teacher. He knows the subject well, and is really there to help. His class is only hard if you don't take the time to listen, think, and study the material. I without hesitation recommend this class to anyone that is interested in Business or Accounting.

Prof. Trippetti is by far the best & funniest teacher SMC has to offer! Took him for both Acct 1/2 & it was the best decision. His grading criteria is very clear & gives amazing study guides that are identical to the tests. Do his study guides & you will forsure get a good grade... but goodluck on the True/False. Easy hw/project, 4 tests, and final

very helpful, funny and caring teacher, on the top of my best prof. list, make sure to come to class and pay attention or else he will know when you don't :)

The teacher was funny. Online homework pretty much sum up what you're gonna have on the exam. He gives lots of hints before the exam (study guide). You definitely need to work to get an A.

Prof Trippetti is very caring and helpful. Not only helpful for get a good grade also he gives good information about jobs and what other classes you should take for accounting major. I mean who has time for that right? Some professors dont even come on time. Im doing poorly in class only because I didnt study well. He is the best professor!

Professor Trippetti is a great professor who cracks jokes every now and then. Though he may come across as intimidating in the beginning of the semester, he is a great guy and wants his students to succeed. His exams are fair, he gives a lot of practice for test prep, and he partially drops the lowest test score. Does rush through theory topics.

Professor Trippetti is a very funny, knowledgable, and helpful professor. Take notes in every class, pay attention, review, study, and do the homework and you should do fine. He really prepares you and makes you understands the material. Also come prepared for tests.

Prof Trippetti is a gem to the SMC community. By far my favorite teacher I have ever had. Class was insightful and applicable. Accounting in general is a difficult class, he tries his best to make it clear. If you go to class, pay attention, do the homeworks and actually try to understand the material you will get an A. Go to office hours.

I took Accg 1/2 with Professor Trippetti. He explain very good, and if you memorize all the journal entries/financial statements, you should be fine. I wont recommend skipping his class, since you will most likely stay behind and miss a lot of important information that will be on exam. Not an easy A you guys gotta work. Homework done online.

He is an amazing and funny professor, which helps when teaching a class like acct. Attendance is a must and homework is done online. Every lecture is very important and is hard to catch up once you miss a class. Studying is a must as well, must know how to properly do financial statements. He tends to curve the tests based on what you receive.

honestly listen to the positive reviews, he's the best.

Professor. Trippetti's class is really easy. he gives out a study guide and worksheets for you to study. the study guide is basically the test. listen in class, he sometimes says what he is gonna put on the test. sometimes the worksheet in class is paired, and sometimes it is individual. so listen in class, and get that easy A.

Prof Tripletti is the best professor I have ever had. He makes each class enjoyable and not heavy at all. He's always available and really cares about his students. Make sure to take him, you won't regret it.

Prof Trippetti was recommended by a friend and thank god for my friend. Easy A class, but trippetti explains really well so the information gets in your head easily. Not heavy and actually learned something.

Such an awesome professor. He made this subject really easy to understand and I wish I could take him again for accounting 2. He's super cool and funny and passionate about accounting. He wants everyone to do well, so just take his class you won't regret it.

Simply put, Trippetti was the best professor I ever had. He's certainly had a great career in the industry and he makes everything easy. Gives tons of practice for you to get comfortable with the material. It's a shame that he doesn't teach higher-level accounting outside of ACCTG 1 and 2. He's the reason I want to pursue acct. TAKE HIM!

I took him for acct 1 and 2 and got an A both times. He might seem a little monotone and boring at first, but if you pay attention he is really insightful and will help you to understand the material the best you can. Very experienced accountant and the online tests aren't too hard. If you take him for acct 1 I would fs recommend taking 2 with him.

Professory Trippetti is by far one of the best teachers I have ever taken. He is funny, caring, and teaches concepts well. He was CFO for LAgear so he gives a lot of personal business insight. He also shares a lot of resources to help students succeed like events and special certifications. Grading is clear, tests are fair. He is an absolute gem.

Easily my favorite Professor at SMC. Incredibly kind and caring guy. Definitely has his favorites in the class but if you take notes and study the material youll be chilling. The class grade is mostly based on the 3 tests and final, so be very prepared for those if you wanna get a good grade in the class. Make sure not to miss class.

Professor Trippetti is my favorite professor I have ever had. I took him for both ACCTG 1 and 2, and in both classes I had such a great experience. Incredibly caring professor, wants everyone to understand the material and do well. Class is mostly centered around your 4 exam grades, so make sure to do well on those.

Loved Professor Trippetti. He usually assigns 1 homework a week that shouldn't take longer than 30-40 mins. There are 3 exams and final which isn't cumulative (: There are also a couple of in-class assignments. The material isn't hard but he does a lot of examples in class. If you participate he will like you. He also makes bad jokes in class lol

He is an amazing teacher and if you talk to him he will like you and treat you well.

The funniest professor I've ever taken and the richest. His class doesn't seem boring as he knows how to make it fun by being sarcastic. He has a lot of work experience in accounting and explains the materials very well. Tests are heavy, and there is weekly online homework.

I loved this teacher, accounting was never as easy as when I took it with him

Prof. Trippetti is truly a gem! Don't let all the negative reviews about him scare you. He is hilarious, makes jokes in class all the time & he wants you to do well. Homework isn't too heavy, but be prepared to study for the tests. He does give out study guides and allows cheat sheet. 5/5 professor!!
