If you are not a Accounting major DO NOT take him. He expects you to know everything before class. Quizzes are due every week and before the lecture of the chapter.

Comment:
Do not take him. He is very scattered, and although he is nice, his homework takes me all day and I don't learn anything. His quizzes for the chapter are due before the assignments, which doesn't make any sense at all. I would drop it if I could because it is very stressful and he does not teach in class. Do not recommend.

Comment:
His assignments were organized and laid out for the term, so I knew what to expect before starting. Unfortunately, he taught me literally nothing. Everything I learned in that class was self taught using the book. If asked a question, he refers you back to the book. Two tests have to be taken on campus. Not a terrible professor though.

This professor honestly might be one of the best professors ive had at Valencia. With that given you do have to keep up with the workload, but if you do it is rewarding. I found the professor to be very fair. I had him for both financial and managerial accounting and did very well and learned alot of valuable material.

Prof Cecil was one of the best professors I had at Valencia. I was lazy and he doesn't accept that I actually failed his class the first time I took him but took him again and now I am about to get my MBA I graduate in May. He made me learn it. He forced me to stop being lazy and start applying myself.

Professor Battiste is a very unclear grader. He isn't very personable. I had his class MW, the first day he would lecture on something that wasn't on the test at the end of the week, the second day we did homework in class. Over the weekend the quiz for the next chapter was due. Every 3-4 chapters there is a test, which doesn't match the homework.

Comment:
Battiste definitely keeps lectures lively.. He wants you to learn, but this is a professor for students that actually want to be accountants in life. It didn't quite feel like an entry level class. Homework assignments are loaded but doable. Both quizzes & tests are VERY tricky! Not a bad guy though, he's pretty funny. Not for me though.

Battiste is a good teacher if you make an effort. I liked the set up of the class and the textbook was good. The homework didn't take that long the tests were fair. I learned a lot and will take him again next session. No gifts. You have to earn your grade but that is to be expected.

Battiste cares about learning and that is why some students rate him lower. If you want an easy A look elsewhere. If are willing to think and try take Battiste. He will get you ready for UCF. As far as lectures, yes, they are short, that is because the class is flipped so I had to be prepared for class. I am taking him again for Manager Acctg.

This was my first online class with Prof Battiste, and he was great. Very quick to respond to questions, and adjust grades when necessary. This class was easy as long as you read, and did the assignments.

Took for 2021 & 2071. Quirky sense humor but i honestly enjoyed it. He could use a little work on explaining stuff in a simpler fashion, i think because he used to be a CPA it all seems simple to him lol. Honestly really cool guy though and if you truly study the homework and use the "help me solve this" you WILL do well on the tests even w.o. book

Professor Battiste is a great teacher. He cares about getting you ready for the Real World above all else. You will work for your grade but you will learn a lot too. There are 4 tests and you get one "mulligan" which means you can retake one test and he will count the highest score.

This course is hard no matter who you take, however this guy wants you to make accounting your life. The homework is always doubled up and the tests aren't given nearly enough time. This professor has NO extra credit either. I met with him numerous times trying to fix my grade and all he says is "Well you need to read more".

Great teacher who cares about learning. I took him because a friend recommended him and I do not regret it. I learned way more than i thought I would and earned my grade. He is fair. I took him again for Managerial accounting and he made the material clear and easy to follow. You have to be in class but that is expected in a class this hard.

I took Professor Battiste fro ACG 2021. The course uses My Accounting Lab which I really liked. It took me on average about two and a half hours per chapter to do the homework. The material is hard but if you do the homework and go to class you should be okay. I really liked the stuff we learned about the stock market.

Not easy but you will learn. 4 tests and one final. The tests are based on the assignments. A little EC. I went to his office for help. he knows his stuff. It is effort. The subject is hard but that is expected. Fair, funny, makes you earn it.

This class could be on-line. Everything is based on my accounting lab. Professor Battiste does not teach what you need to pass the tests.. he is all over the place with explanations and is not helpful at all. Apparently students in the class enjoyed his humor, but not me. I dont think he is a good professor at all...

I saw a lot of salty reviews here, so I figured I'd give my input. Your tests dictate whether you pass or not, but he's very fair, a great professor, and the assignments help you understand and practice for the 4 tests. He'll answer your questions, but you should have an idea of the material first. It's a tough subject but I'm glad I took Cecil.

Take Battiste for ACG 2021 and ACG 2071 if you are going to UCF and majoring in Acctg or Finance. He is hard but you will learn alot.
