Great professor. Assigns homework every class, reviews it in class without grading it. 3 exams with multiple choice and 2-3 problems. Multiple choice questions come straight out of the textbook, make sure you read each chapter.

Comment:

LiPari was chill and straight forward. His lectures were highlights of key aspects of the chapters and simple reviews of the homework, so you should read. He reviewed what to study for the tests, especially the problems. Your grade is based on one 5 page paper, 2 midterms, homework, a few events, and a final. Not hard, but not super easy.

Comment:

He is a nice and funny guy. His lectures are considered too casual for new students to understand the principle of accounting so in order to do good on the test, u might as well read the textbook and teach urself. He will give u some curve on the tests but don't rely on them too much. He goes over homework during his lectures so pay attention.

Easy class to pass. The textbook is online for free just search the name of the book. There are 2 mid terms and a final. A few events you have to go to and a 5 page paper. Overall very easy class to pass if you study hard.

Terrible Professor! Never reviews for exams and expects us to know everything. Teaches for like 5 minutes and then has us doing practice problems that he never teaches

BEST PROFESSOR AT MSU! I wish I could take him for all of my Accounting classes because I always learn something new every single class, and when class ends, I remember it all! He is a rare jem that I am so thankful I took him.

Well, this professor is good but needs to improve the way he grades because he gives you a lot of homework per class but don't give you any points or credit for that. Exams consist in 50 questions each one. The extra credit is only 3 points, but it is really really hard

Comment:

Best professor I have taken so far. He wants his students to learn and would be willing to help outside of class, if needed. Three exams and an extra credit assignment at the end of the semester so it's just the right amount work. Would definitely recommend him 100%.

Comment:

He makes the most confusing information sound easy and understandable. He doesn't rush to fit all the information in a lecture and takes it one step at a time. Doing the homework and taking notes will be extremely beneficial to you. Tests are pretty easy if you do your part and study hard. Overall, great professor who is understanding and kind.

Best Prof in the School of Business that I had so far. Easy to understand and makes tax interesting because he has a lot of practical experience. Looked forward to his class even at 7am. Wish he taught more classes.

Comment:

7AM tax class does not sound fun but LIPARI is the man! He is hilarious and makes a boring class that much more interesting. He also never holds you past an hour and a half. His tests are fair; only what is covered in class is on the exam. PS: If you take notes, don't buy or rent the textbook- just get the homework questions from a friend.

Professor Lipari was great!! Really cool guy. Doesn't rush to finish his lectures. The tests are pretty difficult but if you study you'll be fine. Assigns extra credit which helps. Would recommend!

Honestly, he was a great teacher, the class is just really hard if you don't understand Accounting. He gives extra credit, and drops the lowest grade. He also lets you out really early, especially with the 7-9:30 am class.

Great professor. Fair exams, very knowledgable, doesn't load you down with unnecessary homework, fantastic lectures. Look over the chapters before the exams and you'll be fine. Take him and you won't be disappointed.
