Comment:

Santamaria is misunderstood, he mkows what he is talking about is very smart and has a lot of knowledge, he just rushes his lessons bc he wants you to learn it all. He cares for his students as long as you care for the class. No exams only group quizes, its an easy passing grade as long as you place effort.

Comment:

GREAT teacher. A unorthodox way of teaching, very comical and applies accounting to real world scenarios to help you understand and grasp the concept. his teaching personally led me to direct employment. i strongly recommend him. HELLO, HELLO, HELLO :-D

Comment:

He is funny and an easy A, but not a good professor, I did not learn a thing from him. He talks a lot , screams a lot, leaves early and sometimes does not even show up for class. He has teachers pets which he treats better then all the other students and since they are his pets they don't have to do the work because they automatically get A's

Comment:

The real McCoy. Fist of all , he will yelled and screamed at you but he means no harm. He is a very funny guy, matter of fact this dude should be a stand up comedian. If your major is accounting I would not recommended him because he goes at a very fast pace, but if you just need this class , please take him. I miss this class so much!

Comment:

Do not take him if your major is Accounting. You will not learn anything! He could be a great teacher because he knows the material. However, he comes to class with a terrible attitute. He came late a few times and left early, and very angry and yelled at students for no reason. He can't teach anymore, unfortunately. Stay away!

He's a nice person in general, but when it comes to teaching and learning accounting, he doesn't really do a good job

Comment:

He means well, but he's not a good teacher for this class. He likes connecting accounting to the "real world," but he does too much of that and not enough actually covering how to do the accounting, like cash flows and time value of money. He uses the same examples over and over again, and doesn't know how to explain the concepts.

Comment:

He is a nice and easy-going professor and funny as hell. Just show up in class on time and that's it! But if you really want to learn something and I mean REALLY, think twice before you register. And I regret taking his class since my major is accounting and I didn't learn a damn thing!

I would qualify him to the group of the best professors.He is understanding and learn with emphasize on essential things. The most important thins is that in his class you learn how to work with groups. He likes cooperation between students, it seems to be fair to everyone. I recommend him without hesitation.

This man is the best accounting professor ever. I love his speeches and the way he teaches. God bless him and I thank him for everything I have learned in his class and in reality, truly the real McCoy. :)

Comment:

Great professor! Attend each class, review each lecture and you shall earn your A. Professor promotes group participation to enhance your understanding of material taught. Although he screams, he wants you to grasp the material taught. So do not be afraid to ask him questions. Most important of all : do NOT disrespect him (lateness, sleeping, etc)

Comment:

He is the best. It is not just and accounting class. In this class you will know about the future. He really wants all students to do good that's why he screams even in this age. If he didn't care then he could've just come in class and give assignments. But he explains each and every component.

Comment:

He screams every class but you learn by his authoritarian teaching. He consistently reviews during each class and two classes prior to final.Quizzes are in class and from material taught.Take good notes (or great pictures of the whiteboard).This will help keep notes in order and assist in your final.Listen attentively (he gives clues for final).

First of all I enjoyed all my accounting classes before that one. If you want to hear screaming all the time take his class. If you really want to learn, think twice before you register.

The Best Professor at laguardia by far. He is very helpful with any questions, goes over all the homework and if you do all your homework the exam is questions that you have already worked on previously and understood if you paid attention.
