He is hilarious. I took him for an Accounting Seminar class and all you have to do is show up to the once a week class, and turn in your resume/cover letter.

Comment:

I took the summer course and it was do at your own pace. Not going to lie, the class was kind of difficult. However, if you're good on financial, policies, tax, and terms/math like that, you will probably do good. The book reading didn't help with the quiz questions. Some questions came straight from notes though.

I like how Mr. Bird set up this course. If you study some for the final and get a 70 or more, you can drop your lowest test grade.

Tax is a hard class. He's a decent teacher, but he rambles a lot. At least all of the tests are open book...

Comment:

Dr. Bird is excellent. I don't care what anybody says, tax is a nightmare to teach and Dr. Bird teaches it very well. I would never want to be a tax professor. We are lucky we have him in our department. Imagine Moffeit or someone else teaching tax. Dr. Bird makes the graduate tax class fun.
