Comment:

Tough class overall because it's tax, but he is practical so he will give real life examples of how cra will handle things. As long as you are efficient with ProFile, then you will be fine because you will have to fill out a T2 form by hand. If you have struggle with ProFile you won't have time to finish your midterm, quizzes and final

Comment:

If you do the practice exercises from the textbook, you will be fine. Yes, he uses Profile when showing the class how to fill out the jackets, but its not hard to fill it out on paper. He tells you what questions to practice for the tests and gives you the forms. 1st midterm was pretty hard, but you can make up your grade with the 2 quizzes.

Comment:

He is honest to say that he is here to fail student. He is not helpful to student and assume you know the ProFile program and didn't have any tutorial for this tax program. If you want to challenge yourself and risk your grade, go ahead and take his course

Comment:

Quizzes every class; any answer wrong you get 0%. Very rude. Likes feeling smarter than students vs helping them learn. Told us last part of midterm showing work was optional; didn't mention he would deduct marks if blank. Deliberately unclear on grading criteria. He goes on this website so be skeptical of high ratings with very similar wording.

Comment:

Brad prepares you for real life. The end of class quizzes forces you to pay attention because he literally gives you the answers during the lecture. The quiz policy is to reinforce that if you make a mistake on tax returns, you will be at the mercy at the mercy of the CRA. Pay attention, be proactive, and ask for help and you'll do just fine.

Comment:

Throw questions in class and NOT answer but tested. If you did not take his intro tax or have no prior experience in ProFile, avoid! The quiz aforementioned by students is unreasonable: one question wrong you get zero. Final: One T1, two T2, MC. Run out of time. Save your tuition/time and learn ProFile when you work don't risk your education.

Comment:

He will talk some info out of the class and it is very dull, but the exam can bring any paper except the book or copy of the book. And the final exam will test all of the acct 2235 and acct 3335 so that it is very tough to get a high mark expect you good at doing the tax bill.

Comment:

If you already know how to use Profile you'll probably be okay. If not, he has no interest in teaching you. Every class he will 'test' you on random things said in lecture (which often have nothing to do with tax AT ALL) and if you get ANY of the answers wrong you get 0. And he's rude. Says if you can't just figure it out you should be a welder.

Know how to use ProFile A+. Don't know how to use or not willing to learn ProFile take it with someone else. That's all. If you know how to use ProFile, GPA booster. If you don't, don't take his class. All quizzes, homework, tests, and final are done through the ProFile software.

Comment:

Brad is a professional guy. He knows his stuff and does'nt want you to just have theoretical knowledge. Practical tax focus ! You will learn this course better and score an A+ if you can help yourself understand concepts and apply them in profile to prepare a tax return. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Brad is a straight forward prof. He expects his students to work hard (as you would in real life) in order to achieve good marks. Intro tax can be a challenging class but if you follow his detailed pre-reading outline and complete your homework you should be fine. Also, he has exit quizzes which are an easy 10% for your total course credit.

Comment:

one mistake on quizzes, he gives a zero. He rushes through examples on profile(which he doesn't teach us how to use) and you don't have time to comprehend what he just did. he cares in the sense he wants us to apply the knowledge to real life (CRA forms) but he doesn't really teach us how to use these forms.

Comment:

What kind or prof marks quizzes as either 0 or 100%? Even if you get a single mistake, your work becomes non-satisfactory which makes no sense at all. Does he really think students are not aiming to get perfect on their marks? Of course we are aiming to get perfect marks but we are all human, we make mistakes sometimes. Why give 0 if we do our best

He gives out exit quizzes every class to make sure you pay attention to the lecture; gives lots of examples to practice with and to help make the material relevant; If you do not participate, you're only hurting yourself by not asking questions. People say he's harsh but he is a really good teacher. He takes the time to clarify any misunderstanding
