Get on his good side right away. If he doesn't like you, it's terrible. He 100% has his favorites. No final in this class, so you need to do well on the 3 midterms and 1 quiz. Go to class, because he knows if you don't go. Honestly the hardest course at X. Would not recommend, but if you're an accounting major, it's required...

Required if you are an accounting major so just have to survive it. Lots of course reading and homework assignments. Material is very difficult and never a break in workload class - be forewarned. No final but the 4 midterms are all very long and hard. Tests much harder than the assignments, work in class or tutorials. Be prepared for the worst.

This was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken, and had to put the most work into! But I learned so much from Bob, He's a great prof and knows what hes talking about and makes you work for it. Get on his good side right away by answering questions, and make sure to keep up with the work!

Comment:
Old Veteran Prof at St. FX. Very tough exams. High expectations of his students. But, the professor gives you several opportunities to do well in the course. No final exam, 3 midterms(30% each) and 10% participation. Even though expectations may be high, he will strive to ensure the class material is understood before moving on to the next topic.

You'll probably end up having Bob for 323/324 if you're an acct major. Fair marker, hard course. You have to put a lot of time into learning in this class. He gives you questions for practice then does them in class and after the lecture sends the solutions. Really great guy and easy to talk to. Plus, just 3 middys and no exam.

Very hard course, but great prof. This course requires a lot of time and hard work to do well in but Bob tells you what's important and is very helpful. A bit intimidating at first, but he's a great man. Highly recommended! One of the best profs at X.

Great prof. Very professional and knows his financial accounting. The problems he does in class are helpful and if you know them you'll do fine. You'll learn a lot from Bob. Good guy.

Bob is great! The first semester I had him I nearly failed the class because I didn't attend, and when I did he would humilated you if you didn't know the answers. Second term I had him for 2 classes and this time I did the readings/problems and got A's. He will make you or break you. Thanks Bob!

This was one of my favourite classes. He was also the head of the business department at this time. He took an active interest in what courses I signed up for and encouraged me when I thought the classes were above me. He knew better.
