Comment:

You need to study to each chapter and clear the concept of the topic. You will gain a knowledge about IT auditing process and mainly process and framework of internal control. You will enjoy his class if you want to learn about internal control. But yes you need to study and follow his instruction to pass his class that is for sure.

Comment:

Bad lecturer, horrible grader, boring voice. Almost quotes his powerpoints word by word. He's knowledgable about the real accounting world but his poorly written exams are sneaky. You think you got it but you don't. Would not recommend.

He talks about things that are not in the textbook. even tho you bought the book and read through it. you will still get confused about what he's teaching. Avoid him if you want to pass the class. yes, I mean to pass the class.

Comment:

The class lectures themselves are informative but pretty much teaches out of the textbook. It was be highly advantageous if you studied the third edition of the test banks not the second edition there are many new added problems. But overall not bad many years of experience in the field of accounting.

Comment:

He gives very inspirational speeches, gives great advice about future career options, and opportunity. He makes you excited to be studying at Baruch. His class is heavy lecture. I recommend to read the book, print the slides, and write notes. Otherwise, there is no way you can get a good grade in his class. Study very hard for his exams. Hard!

Comment:

His class is all TB from all different sources. What he teaches in class would not correlate at all with the extremely hard exams he gives. I would AVOID at all cost and just take another professor. You can read the textbook for every test and still end up with the grade i got.

Comment:

Professor Lapelosa is a decent professor. Keep in mind this class is a TB and QUIZLET class. His exams are nothing like his lectures. Every single question on the test are literally random topics from each chapter. If you want to do well in his class, he currently has two midterms which are TB and the final isn't, questions are from quizlet and tb

Comment:

Forget about what he says about attendance, participation, "EXAM based on textbook"-It is not true. The only thing that matters is getting the right answears to HIS questions on the exam. Where most of the time half of the exam is from nowhere. True GPA killer. If you ask him too specific or too conceptual questions, he wont be able to answear it.

YOU BETTER TO KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE TAKING HIS CLASS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE FAIL. FORGET ABOUT WHAT HE SAID AT FIRST DAY OF CLASS. HIS EXAM IS CAME FROM HIS MIND, SO WETHER IS CORRECT OR WRONG DEPENDS ON HIM. HARDWORKING IS NOT USEFUL IN THIS CLASS. AVOID HIM, HE WILL RUNS YOUR GPA. GPA KILLER

You will be saved not to take him, he does not know how to teach! He is absolutely the opposite of what he teaches. He keeps saying that he won't lower the grades, just to get good evaluation results. AVOID, and take other Professors.

Comment:

50% final exam, 30% midterm (take-home so basically a free 100), and 20% Waren Case. Will bump you up a letter grade if you participate consistently throughout the semester. Don't try to just participate a few times at the end of the class because you really do have to have been consistent to get the credit. Final isn't too hard, good professor.

Comment:

AVOID!! Midterm almost entirely from test bank(study it well) but changes the answers for some of the questions because he "mentioned it differently in class", so for some questions you're guna be screwed, make sure you ace warren case (start early), and final is complete nonsense nothing like the midterm.
