Comment:

I had him years ago and got along with him just fine. He did expect people to attend class, study and do the homework, which is too much for a lot of people.

Comment:

Dont take this class online. He never emails you back. Tests are super hard. My moms a CPA and said the tests were ridiculously hard. Even if you fail the tests if you do the assignments you can still do well in the class. 4 online 25 ? tests, 4 assignments, 1 project.

Comment:

Doesn't teach. Talks a lot about subjects unrelated to accounting. I thought I was doing good in the class, but the Acct final exam is created by somebody else and given to all accounting classes, including those taught by other teachers. While taking the test I realized I was unprepared and learned nothing in class.

Comment:

I took this class in the Spring of '05 & I must say that this is 1 of the worst classes I've taken. I'm clueless as 2 how I got a B in the class b/c I did awful on the exams. Get all your points on your weekly assignments and even if you do poorly on your exams, if you do well on the at home assignments, you should get a decent grade in the class.

Comment:

Had him for an online class and he was terrible. Did not respond to emails quickly and did not even follow the syllabus dates. He would say things are due in a few days when we expected them to be due in weeks. Also, he seemed very annoyed whenever you ask for help.

Comment:

absolutely terrible! doesn't try to help students at all...i think he takes pleasure in seeing an entire class fail. surprised he hasn't gotten the drift that his "teaching" sucks from the terrible class averages all the time.

I learned nothing in this class, and somehow ended up with a B. The class kind of sucks, but he gives a decent grade. I dont suggest taking this class if you plan a career in accounting.

Comment:

PROS: funny, likeable personality, smiles and jokes a lot. CONS: Not a very good teacher. he humiliates students even if you ask asks very RELEVANT QUESTIONS. I've seen it. as was already said, cares more about looking cool than making sure the students learn something. he's one of the worst teachers I've had. BLUNTLY, he does his job poorly.

Comment:

Biggest **** ever. Made me cry in front of the whole class. Is so anal that even if you do the work, he still marks it wrong because he can. Don't take him, you will regret it. Almost everyone dropped the class, I wish I had, now i have to retake it.

Comment:

I agree with what everyone is saying but its not really that bad. You do have to take your own inititive by reading the book which helps but he isn't that terrible. He makes corny jokes but thats only to lighten the mood. I think he's and ok teacher.

Very bad. Avoid at all costs. He teaches nonsense. Grades are based on anything. I don't believe that he knows any accounting.
