Comment:

Professor Chan is very dedicated to his work. He is incredibly professional but he does care about his students. He explains every concept very clearly and carefully, not a minute of his lectures are wasted time. This is one of the hardest courses in first year BM, it is advisable to choose him as your prof.

Comment:

Your first impression might turn you off because he talks about how hard the course is, but hes the head professor of ACC406 and makes the final call about whats going to be on the final exam, so thats already 1 reason you should take him. His tests are very fair and he gives a lot of part marks, go to class and listen, hes a very good teacher

Comment:

He's very knowledgeable. Just try to pay attention and ignore his slight accent. Even though his lectures are handwritten on an overhead projector, his lectures consists of good examples that will help you on the tests. However, he doesn't post his lectures online, so pay attention. I also like how he takes up homework questions.

Lectures are very thorough and easy to follow. You will be there the whole 3 hours but you'll have really good notes. Posts handouts on the course website and then goes through them in detail the next class.

Comment:

He teaches things that are easy and makes them 10 times more hard for example the 7 equations in chapter 2 the book explains it much better than him makes it easy. The only reason why you should go to his lecture is because of his handwritten notes, all my advice is to do book work do as many questions in the book as possible and you should be fine

He presents himself as a strict professor but he's actually a fair and lenient marker. I've struggled with accounting in the past, but had no problems in his course. Pay attention during lectures and do his practice worksheets and you should do fine.

Comment:

Pay attention during lectures and you're solid. Tests were straight forward (class average was 75%) Exam was pretty difficult, though. He states that he does not like it when people ask him for marks at the end of the semester, but that's because he is EXTREMELY lenient when marking the tests. Part marks everywhere

Nice prof and good choice for taking accounting with him! He marks easily and tests are easy. But try your best to attend the classes otherwise you will miss his own writing notes in classes, and his lectures are important. If you attend the class and listen carefully, do practices, you can get good grade.

Take Anthony's class.. Easily the best prof I've ever had! Yes he does hand write notes.. but he's basically writing your notes for you.

Comment:

Lectures were clear overall, his notes are handwritten so you must attend class. His tests are tough but they prepare you for the final unlike other ACC profs. The handout questions are similar to testing material but not exact - he really focuses on ensuring you understand the concept so the questions can be tricky sometimes.

Comment:

Doesn't post any notes online, so you have to make notes based on his lectures (uses a projector and writes the notes by hand). The class gets really boring after 3 hours, and it sucks because you have to pay attention. Make sure you understand his handouts that he posts (print before the lecture) because they are *VERY* similar to his tests

He's a great prof, gets to the point and explains examples. Do the homework before class, that way you can understand what you did wrong. He tells you specifically to memorize formats to make it easier for yourself to remember.

Comment:

His explanation of the technical concepts are very clear, I only wish he would explain in greater detail the concepts and why. He always states his tests are based on whether or not you understand the concepts but I don't think his explanations are that clear. He's also rather ambiguous as to what types of questions will be on tests. Fair overall.

Comment:

Anthony Chan was a fair professor. Do not skip any of his classes because all the notes are essential to passing his class. His midterms and exam are fair because you need to do the work to get the mark. I failed this class and took it again with him, glad I did because I actually learned a thing or two about managerial accounting.

The best part about this professor is his extensive knowledge on regarding the course, very long class hours and concentrated, so kinda stressful yet if you are looking to work hard and get good grades, this professor is the way to go!

Comment:

He shows us how to complete questions from the textbook for each chapter and he also provides handouts each week and actually completes majority of them in class. Tests are usually very similar to all handouts and questions done in class. But you still need to put in a good amount of effort into understanding the material. Great class overall!
