Comment:

Patino is able to break down difficult material and make it very simple. Very straightforward man. Can be boring bc it's accounting, but cracks a few funny jokes here and there. Grading is only based on exams and homework completion. Very doable and tests all have 10 pts extra credit for wiggle room. Very smart and wants students to do well.

Comment:

If you pay attention he actually makes accounting very easy. He breaks it down into simple ideas and teaches well. Can be boring but means well and knows what he's talking about. Good sense of humor and very straight forward. Do the homework. 3 exams and final with extra credit.

Comment:

I would not recommend taking this class with this professor. I can promise you it will be the most boring class you have ever taken. He is older and he even admitted himself that he has gotten very unenthusiastic over the years. Its a VERY hard class especially if you dont know what youre doing.

Comment:

Consistent. Read Chapter, Lecture, Hw, go over hw, test. He is almost bored teaching the subject and it comes across during his lectures. He often makes fun of certain students, anything that makes someone different, he will call out. I don't know if he's available after class, because I wouldn't personally ask for extra help from him specifically.

Comment:

Makes you do homework on chapters the class before he even teaches it(so learn it yourself). Horrible sense of humor and will pick 2-3 students to call on for the whole semester.

Comment:

Decent professor overall, first class you have to read the chapter before then he goes over it and assigns homework which you go over the next class then repeat. Im only commenting on here because I missed a class and emailed him twice in which he never responded and when I talked to him in class about it he didn't even acknowledge it.

Comment:

Prof Patino was very straight forward. 3 EXAMS and 1 cumulative final. Weekly homework that must be completed on excel spread sheets and goes over the homework the next class. A caring professor who would actually explain what he was doing rather than assuming the students knew. Definitely would take him again if he taught Acc 212.

Comment:

worst professor i have had. You basically have to teach yourself as he assigns homework and then just goes over it but does not go in depth. He stands in the front and just talk to you and does not engage much.

Comment:

Read a chapter as homework. Patino reviews it in class and assigns problems from the textbook for the next few classes, which he reviews step by step in class. Repeat for each chapter. Take a test every second chapter. Material is difficult and sometimes boring, but this is the major you chose. Never found him arrogant or condescending.

Comment:

Rigid professor, sometimes arrogant and condescending when talking to students. Everything is independently learned, but he reviews homeworks during class (that's all he does) so take good notes and make sure you understand each problem. Take a different professor if given the chance.

Comment:

Very dry sense of humor, but if you feed into it, it's possible to have a good time with him in class. Homework and lectures are directly from the textbook, which is VERY hard to read and boring. Doesn't give any review or study guides for exams, which are difficult. Final is cumulative. You can learn in this class, but it isn't easy by any means

Comment:

Professor Patino is pretty much the opposite of what the previous person said. They must be one of the students that goofed off, came to class once in a while, didn't read, didn't do the homework. This was a tough subject but Patino explained really well, didn't use the powerpoint crap. Lots of homework. I got an A and I know others that did too.

Comment:

Patino is a great guy and professor. Yes, there is a good deal of homework but you really do learn from it. He makes sure you understand what is going on, and honestly once he goes over everything in class, it really isn't hard. He may rub you the wrong way the first day of class but don't let him get to you; he means well. Study hard!!

Comment:

I would definitely take him again. He explains if you don't understand. There's a lot of homework but it is just to give you extra points. 2 Projects which are fairly easy. Exams can be a bit of challenge, especially the multiple choice. I would get the problems correct and majority of the multiple choice wrong. :-( ... He's a cool professor.

DO NOT TAKE!!! DO NOT TAKE!!! DO NOT TAKE!!! He is disrespectful. Study your hardest and still not pass. He also doesn't help you understand or pass. Legit the worst teacher in accounting. Only cares about himself. Tests are your grade. He also teaches a different way from the book. Barely anyone likes his class. VERY BORING! bad bad jokes

Comment:

overall a bad professor, rude, and extremely sarcastic. he should really reconsider teaching as his calling. basically goes over homework the entire class and goes over problems in the book. your grade is based on 3 exams and a cumulative final. to pass this class you have to study everything because there are no exam reviews.

Comment:

Not a good professor. All he does is go over homework. His lectures are him just reading the intro to the chapter. Exams are almost all of your grade and very hard to pass them, if you go over a topic in class, there is a good chance it will not be on the exam.

Comment:

Patino is a great professor. Tests weren't too difficult and homework is graded at just your attempt. He has a great sense of humor, but he is very serious when it comes to making sure you understand the content. If you think his class is difficult then you should reconsider being an accounting major.

Comment:

Overall he was a great professor. He went over homework every class to make sure you knew how to do it. His lectures were sometimes boring but his sense of humor made up for it. The tests were based off the homework, so make sure you do it. The final was cumulative and it was pretty tough. 3 tests, 2 projects, and 1 paper. Pretty solid teacher.
