Comment:

EXTREMELY BORING!!! I was only there for half a semester. He would just sit and read the powerpoint. Did NOT give enough time to take notes. Majority of course was online. Online exams were difficult b/c they were NOT based on the powerpoints or online assignments. Why show up to class when I can just take an online course?

His class is super easy if you finish all homework and quizzes on time. Everything is online. For lectures he goes through powerpoints that is provided by him. Text book is not required in class but it will help you pass all your quizzes. No exam in this class.

All work is on connect. Grade is based on 14 quizzes and 14 homework assignments online. He posts all of his lectures online as well. Just do the hw and pay attention and youll be fine. He takes attendance and hates when you use electronics in class. He makes a lot of dad jokes that will make you laugh. Overall hes a friendly and great professor.

Okay his class could be easy if you do the work but he's reluctant to help, it's like his not even willing. He doesnt enjoy what he's doing and is lazy about everything. He could be so direct with his words and doesnt even realize its hurtful. I emailed him one time but responded so rudely, putting everything back to me. He could be funny though.

STAY AWAY!!! He develops his syllabus so you end up teaching yourself. All assignments and quizzes are online so textbookCD is a must. Doesn't respond to e-mails. Doesn't want to help, but "seems" like he will. Unless your very independent with your work, don't take this professor.

Easy class if you do the work, however if you just want to BS accounting, then just take him. You must go to class, he changed his policy. Everything is still online though.

Comment:

This professor is very unhelpful and somewhat impatient as a Kean Staff Member. His problem solving abilities are very poor. His sensitivity to student troubles is nonexistent. Students at Kean need Professors who empathize with their problems, this professor scores a zero in that arena.

If you do not have time to teach yourself do not take this man. I like accounting but why are we paying this man when we have to teach ourselves. If you like accounting and have time to teach yourself you will do fine but if you want someone to expalin things to you, do not take this prof. RUN!!!

This professor is the coolest! He is so sarcastic, its so funny! There are a lot of dumb people out there, and his comments are brilliant towards that! But on a soft note, he is a sweetheart. Really helpful, and he is clear. No one is prisoner in his class, like he likes to say. I would take him again if I could! Awesome class!

Comment:

Dr.Capone is very nice. Dr.Szendi is so under qualified to teach. He goes over definitions in the book. What a waste of time this guy is, he thinks he is smarter than everybody else in the world! Shame on Kean for having a professor like Dr.Szendi. 5 got C, and 2 failed in our class. shame on him.

Comment:

=UNBIASED REVIEW= Sadly, Mr.Capone is another professor with a brilliant mind, but no means to convey his ideas to students. Another pundit. The class is great for people who need to BS accounting, useless for those who want to actually learn it. If you're willing to pay $120 for the online textbook, go ahead. 3/10. THIS CLASS FAILS.
