Comment:

Schiff is not a bad choice for a professor. He gives so much partial credit on exams its crazy. He really wants his students to do well and learn the material. Grade really just consists of exams and 5% attendance so go to class. He goes off topic multiple times every lecture but he means well

Comment:

Very dry professor and only teaches out of the textbook, so you must go to class to get the content. Three exam grades and attendance. Pay attention to his review sessions as he normally states the problems that will be on the exam. Be careful with the multiple choice questions as they can be tricky. Pretty easy class.

He is a good teacher willing to assist students. Attendance is necessary, and the information covered in class is important for tests. Take good notes and ask for help if needed. He lets you know what will be covered on exams, so pay attention to review sessions.

Comment:

He is a funny teacher and is distracted easily but makes night class more bearable. He wrote the text and uses it every class. The examples he gives in class are exactly like the ones on the exams. Very easy A, I wish I could take him again.

Comment:

Always did better on tests than expected. Schiff is a good professor but he goes off on these tangents and makes a 3 hour night class longer than it probably needs to be because he talks about random stuff and is always 15 minutes late to class. It's hard to tune back into him when he's always going off topic.

Comment:

I have taken Schiff for Accounting Information Systems and Cost Accounting and I thought he made both of these classes extremely easy and clear. His tests are very similar to the problems we do in class together. Basically if you pay attention and take good notes you should get at least a B+. I would definitely take him again!

Comment:

TU's accounting department is a real mixed bag. Schiff is frequently 10-15 minutes late and is extremely slow responding to emails. The projects assigned were not the most clear and deadlines could have been handled better. The subject matter was frequently boring but his humor helped ease that. I would ease that. Not horrible but not great either.

Comment:

Wacky sense of humor, but overall a good teacher. Presents the material very clearly and constantly checks with the class if there are questions. Attendance was a small part of your grade, but the exams were nothing to be afraid of.

Comment:

Cost accounting is dry but Schiff tries to give it some color with his humor. Class is very easy and Schiff is very laid back. Attendance is a part of your grade so try not to skip often.

Comment:

Schiff is a corny &silly dude, not a serious environment which translates into not taking the class very seriously. He writes everything on the board & is clear as day, if you are confused-that's pretty bad. Tests are multiple choice and straight forward. Kind and very helpful-you can call his cellphone for help with the 2 projects. Get oldest book

Comment:

you can find almost everything he said on textbook, never collect HW and be late for everything(class,exams,grades). but tell u what to expected in exams. not a hard class, if you either focus in class or understand the textbook, u will surely get a good grade

One of the most boring classes I've taken in college! The good part is he know its boring and he lightens it up with jokes. He easily gets side track. Tests are super easy. Projects are hard!!! You will learn a lot from the projects though. He is late EVERYONE (Final included) by 15 minutes. taken Schiff-Easy A

Comment:

This professor was a thorn in my side! He was unavailable during office hours and did not return phone messages asking for help. Was 10 minutes late for EVERY class and 20 mins late on exam days. Final grades were due 3 days ago and nothing is posted. Most lazy professor EVER! Definitely disappointing for grad school!
