Not prepared for class, cant explain questions clearly, and was snobbish
He wants you to do the work by yourself.He has open book test and since you do everything yourself you learn. Everybody get either A in his class, it is impossible to get another grade, unless if you did not do anything in the class.
He's my first accounting professor in BMCC. Honestly, he a very nice and good professor. Always expect u the learn !!! if u read the book, do the homework before each class. Of course do NOT skin class, u will be 100% A. Also, he's easy going. He will try to help u as much as he can.
very silly teacher. I was not impress and he lies
Very Good Teacher. Expects you to practice. do home work and read before class so you can have questions for him.
He lies, says he will give open book tests and ends up changing his mind. Always unsure of what he wants from the class. I had a hard time understanding the material in this class. Definitely not a good professor.
He is a very nice and easy-going professor!He is the kind of professor that expects u to learn. If you listen in class and do the homework, it's nothing hard for u to get an A. I definitely vote for him!!!
I would recoment everyone not to take him. pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee don't. specially if its your major class
Read the book before class, do the homework and you will get an EASY A. If you want an A, you have to spend time on it !!! Good Professor!!!
Easy to get an A but you have nothing to learn from him. If you do everything yourself, you can learn something. I don't recommand to take with him for your accounting major. ( do every homework, you can get A ).
Very nice and easy teacher. As long as you skim through the textbook and do your homework, you'll pretty much understand whatever he's talking about in class. He tries to get everyone to understand stuff though which can be a problem when one person is stuck on a particular problem and doesn't understand it for about an hour or so.
very good proffesor very helpfull if he sees that you are trying he will definitely try to help you try to go to his office and talk to him he will remeber you
He knows what he talks about. Make sure to really know first two chapters, otherwise you will be lost. You have to work hard, becouse accounting is demanding, and you will geat a good grade.
He compares himself to other worst professors and he thinks that he does favorite for us.He is sucks.Everyone get confuse with his explaning style.He is not clear what he talks about at all.I hate his class.He asks from every possible things from the chapters, multiple choices, some questions are not clear either.DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS.It's SUCKS.
he confused all his lectures.He doesn't know what he is going to teach in his lectures.He demands alot but as a prof he doesn't give much, asks alot of MC in his exams which typically can come from any sentence in 3 chapters.Which means you have to memorize everything in those chapters otherwise forget about it.WORST PROF EVER.
Horrible teacher!!! HORRIBLE
This professor gives hard test and many students get low grades.
I don't know how he was w/ the other classes, but he was a very nice professor, the material was hard to understand, but i still liked his class. he helped me out a lot and let me do extra credit to boost up my grade. I got a B, but i think i was supposed to get a C+. If he sees that you're working hard he'll help you out.
This teacher is ****ING BANANAS. Our first test was at the end of the semester.He needs to stop telling his student to go to baruch, like we really care anything about that school. His teaching skills are the worst. He needs to find another profession because teaching is not for him. You wont gain anything from him but a failing grade
Horrible !!! Makes lots of mistakes when grading papers.
Prof. Donnay is a knowledgeable professor who communicates to students in an easygoing manner. If you do the homework you'll do well on the exams. He also has a nice smile! I highly recommend him.
If you take this guy for any Accounting course, you must be silly to think tht you'll get an A from him. Trust me I know from personal experience.
horrible he thinks we are still in Haiti.he asks too many vague questions and expects you to know.i too 6 classes and i had an A in all 5 but a C in his because he uses the wrong tools to show us the datasdon,t take this man or you will finish the semester confused and learn very little.he say things he onlly understands
This class was a nightmare waiting to happen. This is the most inconsiderate person that I've ever seen at BMCC. He taught me accounting 2 in summer 2 of 2005 and it was like going to war without your gun. I cannot understad what formulas he explains and he almost made me change my major. seriously stay away from him.
i was pretty satisfied after finishing this class because i learned a lot and without having any prior knowledge it was easy for me to acquire an A. Lectures were understandable and he wasnt wasting time with students who didnt show interest during the class. Do homework and you'll get A. aleksandar
THIS MAN IS A JOKE I STRONGLY ADIVSE PEOPLE NOT TO TAKE HIS CLASS HE IS NOT TEACHING ACC 122 OR 222 NEXT SEMESTER SO WATCH OUT FOR HIM!!!
Intelligent and knows the material, but is completely and utterly unprepared. Gives tests that are wildly different than homework or lectures. Takes >3weeks to mark an exam, NEVER HAS A LESSON PLAN and just works from his head, often backtracking and confusing everyone with vague questions. AVOID AT ALL COSTS or you'll HATE accounting in the end.
Decent Prof. but, hard to understand at times.
Such a bad professor...I didn't learn anything in his class. He doesn't speak English properly and has a terrible attitute toward students. Be careful taking his class. You may regret it for your whole life!!!!!!!
He is nice. If you ask question, he spent much time to explain. Many chances to get extra credit. If you work hard, at least you would get B. Like math class, this class is based on concept and understanding. If you did good in Acct I, then no problem in Acct II.
it was real hard his test were confusing and tricky, the way he teaches is not all that good hes nice but its just maybe i really didnt care for this class or it was hard i got a b in acc 100 but this class was crazy to much too fast.
You will regret if you choose his class.Lecture is not clear at all and sometimes he doesn't know what he is teaching. Very hard to get an A. I took this class in Spring 2008 and I wished I have changed the class.You will never know how difficult for me to catch up with the higher level ACC class because of his poor teaching!!!DO NOT take him.
professor donnay is great, realy understanding. When i dont understand something he makes it really clear. Sometimes gets side tracked but overall does a great job. if you dont really wanna learn dont go to class
i do not know what the rest of you are saying.he is a great teacher.maybe you guys should study and pay attention more. his accent is very weak and very understandable. don't take a class you cannot handle.i got an A- and i worked really hard for it.i recommend anyone taking accounting to take his class.
Nice guy, but he can't teach. I would read and study and still can't get it. The way he explains things is really confusing. Should have dropped the course when I had the chance.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR. Very knowledgeable and really knows how to teach. He won?t quit until you understand the chapter and he will digest it for you but you have to do your part, don?t expect him to study for you. If you fail this class is not because of him, it?s because of you. He really caresQ
This is the best teacher ever!!!And you know how I know?He's my dad. He really isn't that bad. I've been in his classes and he is strict but then again half of you people don't pay attention. Your always on you ipods and sleeping. If you actually tried to pay attnention then you would learn something.
GREAT PROFESSOR! He teachs well, he is super clear and also very flexible but you have to study. Dont expect him to do your job. He is always on good mood and with a smile on his face. His daugheter is righ. He is a Great Professor!
He is a very good professor and attendance is important. That was the reason for my low grade.
He was very strict at first, then after a week or two he became very chill and funny, hes very sarcastic, attendence is a big part, BUY THE BOOK....i reccommend or you will be lost. STUDY & PASS EACH TEST (tests are hard)..or you will fail..Hes a good professor, but expect no mercy!!
Excellent Professor!
This teacher is simply horrible. Can't understand his English with such a heavy accent. Makes it hard to participate when he is always comes off snobbish with unnecessary criticism. Test makes no sense to what he taught in class. Makes accounting a drag to even enjoy. Worst teacher ever hands down. I do not recommend this teacher.
AWESOME PROFESSOR! he is just great! if you really don't get it he even let's you come by his other classes. As long as you read what he assigns and show up to class you should be fine. If I could I would take him in the next accounting!
Didnt do a good job of explaining the topic
He is an excellent prof. yes he is strict. but wake up people we are in college not hs anymore.if you cant stand a prof. like him and want to transfer to Baruch.Good Luck!ready for ur tears n money. U guys hates his class bcause U hate accounting, n just want to get over it easily. U want an A? u need to handstand- a prof. said that
I don't understand why some ppl same that they don't understand him. He is one of the best professor in accounting. He does explain VERY WELL. He is not a hard professor to pass. If you do what he say, like homework and study for his tests, you should be fine to have a passing grade. He's the best. Hear his questions and true or false questions.
very passionate ... kind man as long as you participate and stay up to date with the reading!!! .. no hw's, test are very easy if u study!!
if you want to learn someting form bmcc. i think he is the best choice for you . i like him and he does a wondterful work. do homework and pay atation at class you will be all right. A
He is one of the best professor in accounting. He does explain VERY WELL. He is not a hard professor to pass. If you do what he say, like homework and study for his tests, you should be fine to have a passing grade. He's the best. Hear his questions and true or false questions. God blees him.
He is nice and prfessonal teacher, if you study and do your homework ,you will get A.
HE IS A BAD PROF DOESNT WANT TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING WANT YOU TO DO IT @ HOME BY READING BOOK & TEST & QUIZ AFTER EVERY CHAPTER THIS GUY DONT KNOW HOW TO TEACH JUST CONFUSE U BY GIVING WRONG ANSWER OR TWISTING ANSWER ITS GONNA KILL UR GPA DO NOT TAKE HIM RUN!!!
He is very helpful. Explains everything to the core. He nevers lets a student leave with a doubt in their mind. He is available for students who needs help during office hours. Explains every single question. Heavy text book use. STUDY!! STUDYY!! STUDYY!! Tests are given at the end of every chapter.
This prof is extremely unfair. He is way too sarcastic and very annoying. Although you kill yourself doing the projects, Your final grade depends on the final. Don't take him..
i took his acc111 and now im in his acc222,his very very helpful prof.patient,very patient!explain everything clearly!
Professor Donnay is one of the best teacher that I have ever had. Patient and helpful. If he sees that you are doing your work, he will definitely helps you. If you are an accounting major you should take him! I had him for accounting 222 and taxes.
Horrible professor !! Hes a Haitian man sarcastic and seemed nice, I was wrong . He was incredibly unreliable he said he would give extra credit but didn't! He gave 4 tests and said he would drop the lowest grade but didn't! If you come to class or not it doesn't matter or if you participate or not he doesn't bother to add that in when he grades.
Do not make the mistake of taking him !! He is very inconsiderate and is sloppy with his work. He does not deserve to have this job. Rude!!! Worst professor I've ever taken at bmcc
This professor is something else. Even though I got an A minus, he was the best. He tried to explain to the whole class that if we didn't follow him during every class we would be lost by the time of the final and this is what happened to most of the students. He is so helpful, he would spend extra time explaining you things. Excellent professor.
You need to do all your chapter HW beforehand with this professor. If you do the HW and read the books yourself, it is easy to take his class, otherwise you will lost. He is willing to spend his extra hours to answer students' questions. You can't play cell phone in his class. If you do your HW, getting an A is easy.I like this prof. He is the best
This prof is good for those study-hard students. He requires his students prepare lessons and do all the exercise! it's just the right way doing in college. He helps students developing in the future job field, not only to pass the class. However, If you don't do your work, you will learn nothing...
where to begin. first of thank you professor for an amazing semester. professor Donnay is funny, sarcastic but you shouldn't take it personally, very helpful will repeat if you need him to. He is very enthusiastic about his teaching you can tell that he really loves what he does and he wants to learn the material. ;)
He is the worst prof. I have ever met in BMCC. He is sloppy and is seems like he never prepare anything for class. As a beginner to walk into taxation field, he will confuse you by giving you too much. In class, we always working on complicated tax problem. If you have enough knowledge in tax go take him, you will learn something.
Professor is pretty lazy when it comes to teaching. He reads from the textbook and seems skeptical when answering questions. He takes his exam questions from the internet and did our final exam during class. Don't take him, you won't learn a thing on accounting.
Professor is pretty lazy and seems confused with the material he is teaching. He gave four exams. He took the questions from the internet. He did not write on the board, he just talked the entire four hours. Do not recommend him.
THE BOOK IS A MUST. Tests are straight from the book. Therefore, you CANNOT miss class. He tends to answer your question with a question. You should review the chapters on your own time as well. He tends to become a bit annoying at times. Overall, he's not a bad professor. Definitely learned a lot, but i wouldn't take him again.
He is very sloppy! I took his class for Accounting and I did not understand anything! He always seems confused about the questions. I honestly, do not recommend him! I would go with another professor!
Prof. Donnay is not easy. You need to go though the textbook and do the excises before his class, if you do it. I do not think the class is hard as most of the comment s. If you are lazy and do not work on it, it will be hard to pass his course. However, he helps when you have questions and will explain to you until you get it.
you have to do exactly what he says. if you follow his lecture and read the book it is very easy to get an A . But if you do not listen to him than forget about everything. but i find him very easy and helpful. if you do not understand he will explain to you 100 times. students who really wants to study and have a good grad just listen to him.
Not an easy class and he makes it worse. He is sarcastic, mean and liar or he has memory problems. Don't take him pls!
great professor , he is caring and will listen , he asks if any understands , you can ask questions . ANY ACCOUNTING YOU WILL NEED TO DO HOMEWORK AND READ ALOT TO FULLY UNDERSTAND not just fly by it. he's also very nice but he does not like when people are late !!
Not a good professor. Spends more time on sarcasm and jokes more than anything else, shouldn't be teaching honestly..
He is disorganized. Always ask where were we. No homework, no projects, no classwork, no attendance required, no extra credit, no participation needed. All you need is to get good grade in his 3 exams. If you fail you fail the class. No make up. Good luck
too fast when explaining lessons and always asks where the class left off. Doesnt explain in a clear manner and isnt specific about what's really going to be on the exams. He makes you study for everything but puts only a few topics related to the chapter. Overall, this class was confusing and hard and he always has something sarcastic to say :/
exams are confusing and he doesnt give study guides before them he thinks you can memorize 12 pages in less than a week and that its your responsibility to read before class and know the whole chapter. Doesnt prepare you for whats going to be on the exam at all and instead lectures you to just read as if reading will miraculously teach you ACC
Donnay Wilbert ... I took his class Fall 2016... got a 100 on my first test... everything in life is tuff but if you put in the extra effort by practicing and read chapters before classes and with prof lectures it's granteen you will get an A
Professor really cares about you to get the knowledge you need in your future career. He pushes you to work hard. He explains well, if you really want to understand and know your staff- that's Professor for you.
I think he's a good person, but I really dislike that you're only given 4 exams and that alone makes up your grade. I would've liked/I expected some quizzes, extra credit, participation, anything. I think if you read the chapters before every class (which i didn't do a good job of) and try hard you can do well. As far as his teaching he's Okish
One positive thing I will say about him is that he is very enthusiastic/passionate about accounting and you can see it in the way he teaches. Not boring at all to say the least.
If you're going to take his class be ready to read a lot. He gave out 3 tests in total including the final. He doesn't collect homework, which I wish he did to boost up anyone's grade. He explains everything great but he has a low temper.
He is very enthusiastic and funny, which makes the class enjoyable. The grade was based of of 3 exams and the first exam is dropped if you improved on the others. He also added some participation points to my grade because I always participated.
I was enjoying the way he explained the subject. Good vibe during the lecture. he makes jokes. I loved that. But be ready to read. Take him
He's quite good at explaining the terms of Accounting but when it comes to journalizing and making entries he is not much of help. If you have a background of accounting you should go for his class but if you don't and wish to learn I would not advise his class.
His exams are extremely difficult, he treats like as if you are an experienced accountant.
He has no study guides he just reads the chapters and gives no homework. Regardless if you read the chapters on your own before his lectures you won't do good on his exams.
He's great at explaining the materials but his exams are extremely difficult.
He's not bad when it come to explaining the subject but overall as a professor not having a specific guideline for his course make him awful.
Extremely difficult.
If you're in his class and its too late for you to withdraw good luck because you're going to need it.
He's level of difficulty is just too high.
His exams are just beyond difficult.
I guarantee you that being in his class will affect your GPA negatively.
Having his class for 3hr was boring and hard to pay attention. His test is nothing on what he teaches you. You will have to read the textbook before hand and then he will read the chapter to you again to explain
I took his class last semester and it was the most difficult class for that semester mind you I had Calculus that same semester. Im sure hes a good accountant but teaching is just not his thing. His way of teaching is him telling you to teach yourself. He gives no homework and no practices just extremely difficult tests. Good luck.
Dont take this class this guy doesnt know how to teach. If you take this class withdraw with it on the last day of withdrawing with classes.
He is best professor ever. His jokes makes class enjoyable. If you study and participate in class you will definitely get extra credit. Your little effort makes is enough to understand cause he make everything clear. Just show up one time and concentrate while he teaching you will get good grade.
Prof Donnay is nice, he makes the taxation Class very easy, He likes jokes, just show up in class and take your note , you will get a good grade
One of the best professor at BMCC!
I didn't like his way to teaching, he read straight from slides as we were elementary students. Not much help for review of the exams and not good at explaining the material of the lecture.
Professor Donnay is one of the best Professor in Accounting. If you don't understand something, he explains it to you as many times as necessary until you can catch the class. He has a good sense of humor and quite patient but he also asks us to follow his rules in class, such as not using cell phones, or being distracted talking to classmates
He is rather condescending and relies heavily on the textbook. Theory heavy and not enough practical application. Reads off the textbook. Lectures are unclear. Questions he asks result in further confusion. Disorganized, never knows where we left off. Technologically challenged. Teaching is really not his thing. Never again.
Professor Donnay is a great accounting professor. He helps students to understand topics by themselves and guide students. It is important to read chapters before taking the classes. You will definitely learn a lot from this class. It is a good class for a future solid accounting background!
He doesn't teach well and doesn't respond to emails. The few times I was on the zoom lecture, I couldn't understand him very well and was rude to some students. He gave us a lot of work on Pearson that took a very long time to complete. I wouldn't recommend him if you actually want to learn accounting. The final was multiple choice and easy tho
Extremely rude. If you don't grasp the material right away he will laugh at you, literally. He makes fun of students. The class structure is basically you teaching yourself via textbook and then come to class with any questions, so basically he doesn't even teach, and when he does he isn't clear. Trust me don't take this class.
Be prepared to read alot. In order to understand Accounting you have to READ. Professor Donnay is a good professor. He can come off alittle rough at times but that is because this is college. If he sees you are trying and want to learn he will go the extra mile for you. You must come to class prepared and that is reading the chapter before class.
He is rude and disrespectful, insults students in every possible way.The professor designed the whole class based on one student.He would say straight to your face that he will give you C and A for the one he likes. He doesn't provide graded homework or conduct any tests; the grade is on his hand 100%.I suggest you don't take his class.
This prof does not like online classroom setups, purposely makes the test harder under the assumption that everyone is " cheating" . Tests are two charters in 1 up to 50 questions . 30 questions minimum with " show your work" in between. Not a class you would want to take once a week there is a lot of info you can't cram .
First off, if you plan to teach yourself, you can enroll in this class. His way of teaching does not help you during tests. You must find your way of studying the book and preparing yourself for this class. His grading was not bad, it was based on test results and attendance was not mandatory. Do not recommend.
This guy truly doesn't deserve to be a teacher. He laughs in your face when you get something wrong but proceeds to admire all the students who slightly participate. If you have this course, i suggest you drop it.
I am taking his class now, really bad profesor I recommend no taking his class, he will get mad if you ask a question and laugh at you face. On his class you're by yourself, you read you understand and you learn. Hi grading is only based on exams with 50 questions
He definitely puts your learning in your own hands, which might be off-putting for younger students. Lots of reading on your own but plenty of opportunity to ask for clarity in class. Tests are fifty questions each and pretty simple if you have an understanding of the material. Don't expect to have your hand held for the semester!
He is a very good professor. You need to read materials before you go to his class. He likes when students participate. He explains materials very well like REALLY good. You rather be on time. The tests are not easy, but if you listen to him you can get good grade.
This professor is horrible, throughout the semester he wants students to participate however when you ask questions or answer incorrectly, he laughs and or gives a sarcastic or rude remark in response. On top of that he also isn't the best at helping understand in class so you have to self teach yourself with the course online to understand
Prof. Donnay expects you to be on time to class and treats you like an adult. You must read before arriving to class, since class is focused on what you last read. He goes over it until you fully understand. 4 exams are giving throughout the whole semester. If you don't read, then the course will be difficult, don't fall behind. Great professor!
Honestly, the worst Professor I have ever witnessed. Specifically targets students who are having a trouble time learning the subject, encourages you to drop out if you don't understand Accounting. He tells you, to participate but when you try to answer and get it wrong. He laughs at you and says stop guessing in my class.
Don't take this professor, ACC122 is an easy class with some focus but he makes it super complicated, if you will develop any skill in his class will be lack of confidence because you can get humiliated for silliest reasons, the class is fun and super interesting; but he turned it into a punishment in my own experience. textbook is $70 okkkkkkkay
I remember waking up feeling like the world had lost all it's color when I realized I needed to take his lecture for the day. I remember walking to bmcc on the verge of throwing up, just thinking about his class. The reviews weren't lying when they said he ridicules you. If you're a new accounting student please don't take him.
Honestly, the professor expects you to read before attending class, which is understandable. The tests consist of 50 questions, and the class isn't recommended for people who can't take criticisms. He isn't the worst professor but there is most definitely better ways of teaching the course.
This professor didn't show up to class a few times and didn't let any students know that he wouldn't be there. He also came to our final 45 minutes late and was upset with some of us for not being able to stay longer to make up for HIS lateness. He was also quite rude to some students. I would NOT recommend him as a professor.
This Professor is horrible DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!. he expects you to read a whole chapter in two days and the day you finish the chapter you do a quiz/test. he cannot explain the lessons. he picks on students and laughs at them. encourages you to drop the course. he also for some reason gives special attention to students that don't understand English
this class is terrible. if you take it, just pray. you will have to dedicate yourself to this class all day.
I am in the middle of his semester right now and honestly wish I had dropped his class earlier. He makes fun of students and mocks them for asking "stupid" questions. There were times when he made simple topics unnecessarily complex. He expects you to read 60-page chapters each week and do exercises from the book multiple times. Not a good class.
You need a $70 textbook for the class. Although there's no actual work given you're graded on your tests so if u fail those you're cooked
His passive aggressive, mocks students, make fun of students and makes uncomfortable comments. If he likes you, you are “ok”. half of my class dropped it in the first week
