Very bad. He only talks and talks but does not use the whiteboard or slideshows to support his lectures. He does not use Blackboard AT ALL so if you take his class expect to base everything you do on what he says. Would not recommend to anyone.

Very good professor. Would take one of his classes again in a heartbeat. Always willing to clarify and work with students to better their understanding. If you are willing to listen and take some notes on the lectures, this class should not be an issue.

Comment:

This professor is one I highly respect. The entire department is fantastic and Maccarone is no exception. You will work hard in this class if you want an A. If you don't put in the time and effort, you will get a lower grade. So if you have a good GPA and want to maintain it, become a college student and work for it. He is there very early, so go.

Comment:

In all honesty, the way he perceives law is awesome because you get to act like a real lawyer and justify your answers and such on tests. Read the textbook and your golden. Optional HW assignments are future test questions Cons: A lot of times , I would be confused whether he was teaching a lesson example or telling his life story.

Comment:

One of my favorite Accounting professors for a class that is usually VERY dry and at times difficult to understand. He really cares about his students and tells stories of when he worked as an auditor for Ernst & Ernst after college. I took this class over the summer and I highly recommend others do too due to the fact that it's very boring.

Took this class over winter session; excellent professor, excellent class. Prof. does lecture, but the notes/lectures are useful and interesting; work load is average, study your notes and pay attention to the lectures and the tests are fair. I did fine on them. Highly recommend!!

If you're actually majoring in legal studies, do not take this professor. However, if its just a requirement, go for it, easiest class, easy tests, learn absolutely nothing. Cool guy though

He is the nicest professor you will ever encounter at this school. He is not only very good at teaching, but he makes everything so interesting! I personally don't think his exams are hard because his class notes are really helpful. If you go to class and pay attention, this class should be an easy A for you!

Great professor, absolutely take his classes if you can. He was so interesting and funny and I enjoyed going to class. If you pay attention and study a little you'll easily get an A.

Im taking this class over the summer. He teaches with so much passion and clarity. Accounting is hard, but he teaches it in a simple way and breaks it down for you. Awesome teacher!

Good professor. Have to put some work in to get a good grade. Didn't go to any classes and studied for the tests and passed. Just go to class and listen to his lectures. He explains everything and always looks to help the students improve their grade. Is very fair and gives extra credit.

Prof. Maccarone is a great teacher and very interesting. His class isn't too hard, since most of it is common sense (in my opinion). But he's amazing and I wish I could take another class with him.

I really liked him and his class. He's a real world guy-both an accountant and lawyer, knows his stuff. He's about 60. You take minimal notes on what he says and will do good. All exams are mult choice, offers a lot of extra credit for exams, use the TB here and there. No hw, 2 exams and 1 non accumulative final. I would take him again, take him!

Maccarrone knows his stuff and class is very interesting. If you have half a brain and a desire to learn, you will do fine.

Comment:

To put it simply, if you take this course but not with this professor you are missing out. He makes the subject interesting and clear. He has a strict attendance policy but it isn't too hard to get yourself out of bed to go to this class. If you take good notes it is easy to get an A but you have to study. Definitely take this class!
