Would not take this professor again, he comes off as funny and easy going, but don't expect one-on-one help, he is not there for it. He will criticize your inability to understand the material. If don't understand something and ask him to clarify after class, he will say he doesn't have time. Good luck with this course.Rate My Professors ↗
He's a great professor. The cases suck and so do the exams but if you actually apply yourself it should be just as easy as AIS 100. He's a genuinely great dude too.Rate My Professors ↗
If you took AIS100 on campus, you should be fine, otherwise may struggle a bit. Overall, he's very generous about grades. Very likely to curve your grade one level up if you really put effort in his class. You will learn a lot from him.Rate My Professors ↗
Fabio helps you out as much as he can. He goes through examples during class to help you understand the material and sets a pretty generous curve compared to the other professors. Also kept classes somewhat entertaining. Great professor.Rate My Professors ↗
Would highly recommend taking this course with Fabio. Tests aren't easy, but he is great in lecture and is an overall very personable guy. Always available for help and most important WANTS each student to understand everything. Would definitely take another accounting course with FabioRate My Professors ↗
Accounting is a difficult subject for me, but Fabio's class was much more interesting and relevant than other accounting classes I've taken. He was upfront about the subject matter from the beginning, and worked hard to make the class about more than just the textbook. He is a really great professor, and I highly suggest taking a class with him.Rate My Professors ↗
