Comment:

Really enjoyed this class over all. She assigned a decent amount of homework, but this amount of homework is necessary to understand the material. She allowed one sheet of notes to use on exams. My only complaint is she doesnt really explain stuff UNLESS you ask. So dont be afraid to ask questions.

Comment:

She's gives times exams containing 100+ questions. When asked for tutoring help, only times for public tutors were given. She does not go beyond to help the student and is only uses Wiley material. The textbook is very expensive and is a stack of papers in plastic so you need to buy a binder for the book.

Shes okay. She tends to get off topic then forgets her train of thought. All assignments and test were online (which means you can cheat). Easy A class. I never really payed attention and or memorized the formulas. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Only buy the access code from the Wiley website.

Comment:

I had Pacenta for six classes in my major. BEST PROFESSOR EVER. I don't think I could stay as an accounting major if it wasn't for her. She really cares about her students and will do anything to make sure you understand. Exams can be tough even if it's online. Homework is all online and she doesn't deduct points for it to be late. I love her.

Great teacher that is very passionate about what she does. Homework can be done after the due date for full credit and she is always there when you need her help. Her tests are very challenging but helps you through the problems you have. Have had her about 4 or 5 times now and would keep taking her. Can miss up to 6 classes.

Great teacher. Have had her now for 5 different classes for my major and she is very nice and her class is really easy. Everything is online and you can miss up to like 6 classes. Tests are challenging but i think my lowest test grade has been like an 86, and she accepts late homework and won't dock you any points for it being late.

Professor Pacenta is by far my favorite teacher @ Penn College. Very nice lady. Can get off topic sometimes, but is always more than willing to help you when you come to her for help. Very easy to talk to and wants you to succeed.

One of PCT's finest! She is a great professor and makes class so enjoyable. Attendance is taken each class so be sure to attend. Very knowledgeable as she has a lot of previous world experience. This is pretty well an online class. Go to lectures and learn but take homework and tests online. I enjoyed this class and professor very much

Save your money and just buy the online code because you never need to use your book. Everything is on Wiley and your quiz and test will be online. You can convince her to do anything. She will help you anytime you need it. Super easy if you pay attention.

Mrs Pacenta is going through a rough patch right now but is still willing to give you all the help you ask for so give her a break! If you know so much then YOU teach the class.

Comment:

She was a good teacher. If you do the work that she is asking of you it isn't too bad. She always lets you correct your tests and hand them back in. She also gives a major project, but you can turn it in early and she will let you know what corrections need to be made. It is really hard to fail this class!

She was pretty nice, i didnt understand it to well, but passed with a C. I had fun in class. Hard to fail unless you really want to. She lets you make corrections on tests once you get them back too!

I had her last semester. She didn't go to fast and she accutual answered questions in full. She went over evrything. She acctually showed up for her office hours to if you had any questions, and always tried to make time for her students.

i like her. she helps you, yea sometimes she gets lost herself but overall she is a good teacher. she lets you have notecards which make her tests very easy. you have an interesting project to complete over the course of the class, but it very simple
