Baruch College - CAPS

Financial Accounting I was great. It was a little tough managing the 3+ hours in the evening, and the workload was rough, but at the end of it all, I got exactly what I wanted: a basic understanding of how financial documents are created, used, and useful. The teacher clearly spent alot of time preparing his teaching methodology and was extremely compassionate and thoughtful. He challenged us appropriately and was genuine in giving us some basic tools for recognizing the health of public companies. The Baruch facilities are not great, but hopefully will get better once the construction is over.

The teacher was very good, but too much material was covered for only five classes. It was a whole semester's worth of work.

Instructor made it seems so simple and was able to get it within two sessions. Already recommended friends and two already booked for January classes.

The class started out pretty slow because of the large number of people on one court. I’d suggest Will rent out more courts and have beginning players get a feel for hitting the ball before launching to the rules and specific shots. He could then go around to each of the courts and give people shots to practice. The course got good towards the end when we started really playing. Will gave helpful pointers when observing us play. I also found a great group of people to play racquetball with after the class is over.

Great course!

The teacher was great!!! The classes were very interesting!

I learned a lot in this class. My only (slight) complaint is that the book is not a textbook; it is a reference book for tax professionals, and I found it hard to understand at times. For me, there was a really steep learning curve bc I have no tax experience. Also, be aware that this is NOT a class that just teaches tax return preparation. Although the instructor did touch upon tax prep, the focus was more about the rules and laws governing personal income taxes.

Loved it! Knew only the very basics of swimming but was doing Freestyle & Backstroke across the pool length by the last class. The original instructor was out for a few of the 1st classes, she teaches cross training as well but the assistant(?) Mario was awesome. When the instructor came back she focused her attention to the beginners that still needed help with previous lessons & Mario focused on those who progressed a bit faster so everyone in the class could advance at their own pace which was pretty cool. So 5 stars for the class. However be warned as in previous posts that the women locker rooms are pretty gross - puddles of water & wads of hair on the floor - wear flip flops at all times. If you can overlook that then you are in for a really fun class.

I hate a great time and learned alot!

Knowledgeable Instructor engages the students in learning. Truly enjoyed the class.
