Takes attendance. Always talked about how after class it was time for his martini. Lots of hw but nothing to difficult. Always says he loves his students and wished he could meet us all in person. He wants you to make his class a priority but i had more important classes like act sci.

imagine him like your funny grandpa you wish you had. he's hilarious and loves to interact w/ his students. says we have to study for his class for 12 hours, but i don't. he's that professor who gets mad at you for not understanding the subject he's been teaching for 10+ years, but he jokes with you. wileyplus homework is easy and tests are fair

This guy is hilarious. I'm not gonna lie though, if I didn't take him during the semester where we switched to online halfway through the year,I don't think I would've done that well in the class since I could look up answers for all the tests.

material it self wasnt bad but he was bad at teaching, its a class where you basically teach your self because you wont understand anything unless you read the text book and do the homework on wiley,he talks about trump alot which was a bit uncomfortable cause he thinks trump is genius. 2 midterm N 1 final with 22 hw on wiley. A chapter per class

He's really not terrible. I am scoring him a bit lower only because he doesn't adjust his class at all for kids who have never taken accounting before. You don't need the textbook, but it is helpful for really getting the content. Study hard for the midterm. Cases are super easy and final wasn't terrible. Super nice, so don't be scared to take him.

Casabona gets a lot of bad reviews but I honestly think it's because he teaches a hard class. You've gotta study and go to class, study everything you can! This is two classes in one so theres a lot of material to cover. He gives a 10 point curve on every test and the final wasn't cumulative. Also he gives extra credit from in class participation.

So Casabona is really a great guy who truly cares about his students. He will seem intimidating at first but will lighten up once he gets to know everyone. 2 exams and a final with 25 HW assignments on Wiley. You will have to put in a lot more time than other classes since the material is not very easy. He just reads off slides so take good notes!

In the beginning, you might not like his class because it is very hard. it is not an easy A class, you need to study a lot, but you will realize you know more than the acc student who had only taken one acc course. read the ppt before class and study, go to his office hour, he really does care about his students a lot, he made a lot of jokes as wel

This is a real college-level class which is probably why most people don't like it; it's work and he expects you to put in work (9 hours/week outside of class). Participate in class so he knows your name and outline the chapters before class and you'll do fine.

Professor Casabona is really cool, he really cares about his students. Don't get me wrong, this class is hard, like hard hard. You're going to have to do a lot of studying and work on your own to do good. But make sure you participate A LOT and he will love you. Although its hard, he really wants you to do good, reach out to him and he will help!

Not an easy class, be prepared to teach yourself most of time. If you put the work and effort in, he will definitely see that and consider it. He curves the tests and hands out extra credit points like he's Oprah. He makes the classes fun and cracks jokes. He's one of the only professors I knew that cares about his students and helps them do well.

Comment:

He "teaches" by reading straight off of the power point but his lessons rely heavily on the assumption that the student not only read the chapters before hand but, also fully comprehended the material on their own. You have to teach yourself the material in order to pass, otherwise you will do poorly and be completely lost in the classroom.

I did not learn anything from him at all. He reads the slides and won't use black/white board to show examples, he only READS and explains ORALLY. He expects you read through the chapters before going to class. Be prepared, you basically have to learn by yourself. Not helpful at all. Never take him again.

I did not like this professor at all. Only take this class if you are prepared to teach yourself from the textbook throughout the entire semester. His lectures are very boring and he reads straight off the powerpoint slides.

He can be intimidating at times. His tests are hard and count for a lot and there is a lot of homework. He jokes around a lot, and I do believe he cares for his students, but you need to participate in class so he learns your name. You need to pay close attention in class and make sure you read over whats next before class.

Nice guy, a bit eccentric which makes class somewhat doable.. very long lectures and not too enjoyable. But also very manageable to do well prepare well for midterm and final and should be fine..

Casabona is an interesting person to say the least. He is often off topic discussing the pope or the election so early on I built up a way to tune out his voice. However, he is a really nice guy and really wants to help his students. If you do the assigned HW and read the textbook you will get an A.

I had to drop the class because the midterm killed me. He was an extremely tough professor and I found it hard to follow along in class. I had 2 tutors and still to avail. I'm sure he is easier than some accounting professors but if you are not good accounting avoid him, or try to get a good tutor otherwise you are not going to pass.
