Comment:

His lectures are very detailed and even has lecture notes that you can follow while hes lecturing which helped me understand the chapters better. Accounting is difficult over all but he does lots of practice and problem questions that are harder than whats on the exams.

Comment:

I enjoy accounting but this class was a drag, I taught myself most of the material, he calls you out and will make you feel dumb! Not very good at explaining, every class is lecture!! He is a nice person and is organized. All my classmates struggled as well, I read and studied very hard and received a grade I was not satisfied with.

Comment:

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all business students, and those seeking to further enhance their Excel/Accounting skills. Be familiar with some basic Excel before taking the class (relative/absolute cell reference). Class reflects on ACCTG1A, so if you forgot 1A, review the first chapters of 1A book. 2 Exams, 2 quizzes, weekly Excel HW. Very cheap txtbook

so good! he really cares about teaching and making sure everyone understands. He goes a little fast when demonstrating and does some work in his head that will take you a minute to realize, class is difficult just because it is accounting but high recommend

I've taken his Accounting & Excel classes. He's a great teacher, with good real-life experiences and stories. He's professional and sticks to the course topics... No Vegas stories in this class! Just the appropriate information pertaining to the course. Good tests with study guides to help.

Honestly, the best professor I've had while in college. He knows how to teach the subject clearly for student to understand and adds practice problems in to help students really learn the material. So glad I took him and I know I'm prepared for intermediate accounting at csulb this semester

Take him! Granted, I've only taken his classes for my Accounting classes, which is my major, so I have no base to compare, but his lectures are fun, interesting, and educational. You will learn a lot from him if you go to classes. Reading can boost your understanding but I find it optional.

Comment:

Canzano taught great like 1A. Same grading structure. 1A was more work to journalize, but 1B is more of an analytical class, there was more math involved, not hard though, you just need a sharp memory. There were a few chapters that needed to go more in depth. Overall, if you read the book (like you should), finish HW, study, you will do fine

He's an awesome professor just print out lecture notes and do the exercise on the syllabus before class and if he chooses you, you'll be prepared. Read his lecture notes very helpful and don't miss class or you'll miss out on a lot.

Canzano was by far one of my favorite professors ever. He was extremely caring and had clear grading criteria. If you do not understand a topic he will take the time to explain it until you do no matter how long it takes. Oh and make sure you do the practice tests he assings!!! You will ace the actual test if you take the time to do that.

He is an amazing professor. Accounting is not an easy subject, but Canzano made it not difficult. This class you have to understand each chapter before you go to the next one to receive a good grade. Canzano gives a study guide that is very similar to the 5 exams, 500 points. HW every CH. on Cengage, 100 points. Group work, 15 points.

Lectures with a passion explains everything in detail. All homework and assignments are done through Cengage. The tests are pretty self explained because he provides Study Guides online for you to practice which is really helpful. I would recommend him for all Accounting Classes.

Take his Spreadsheet class if you want to be advanced in Excel. It will also refresh you on you on accounting topics. I went into this class knowing nothing about Excel, and I learned so much (Vlookups and Pivot Tables are amazing). Not easy nor particularly difficult, but EXTREMELY beneficial. He EXCELs at teaching. Also an amazing acctg professor

Comment:

This is my favorite professor in the LBCC campus. Professor Canzano has been very inspirational and admirable. He has taught me many things in and outside of the classroom. I see him more as of a friend rather than a professor. He's a really good guy who only wants to see his students succeed.
