Comment:

Didn't use text. Lectures and problem solving videos were my main source of studying. Best online class with ECU yet. Only complaint is he should redo some of the lecture, not all of his notes are visible in the view presented. Still, all other classes I've taken online I would describe as self-taught, his is not. Responsive to my emails also.

Comment:

His lectures seem to be outdated and need to be re-done considering the majority of his writing can't be seen on the screen. His quizzes don't match the setup of the homework problems and what he gives as "hints" for the exam are only 50% accurate to what's actually on the exam. He's not as engaged in the course as he should be. It's teach yourself

Comment:

He knows the subject well, but his attitude wasn't great... like he couldn't be bothered, either to update pre-taped recordings where you can't see the writing on the most important first six chapters, or go back himself, listen to his own lectures and see if still they actually match what he says will definitely be on tests (at least 50% didn't).

Comment:

I took this course online for the MBA program. He posted weekly online lectures that ranged from 15-30 mins each. There were 3 proctored hand written exams with no study guides, but in his lectures he would tell you what was going to be on the exams and what to focus on. Overall, I enjoyed his class and he made it easy to understand the material.

Between the book and lectures the material is well covered. Quizzes are on-line and challenging but can really help your average if you prepare well. Dr. Schisler is very knowledgeable and relates class topics to real world situations. Class participation is emphasized and can be helpful.

Dr. Schisler presents this class in a very clear and easy to follow way. His lectures are a must and he is extremely clear on what material will be tested etc. The homework and lectures are critical to doing well on the tests. If you put the effort into this class you have no excuse for not doing well. He is the best accounting prof I have ever had

Took Dr S for ACCT 6241 during the summer. It's a very fast paced, condensed class. 3 exams and 25 quizzes so you have to keep up. His lectures are clear and to the point. He gives great hints about what will be on the exams. Watch the lectures, do the problems and you'll be fine. His stories are funny!

Dr Schisler was forced to teach this class because the usual professor got very sick. Dr Schisler is easily the best accounting teacher at ecu. he prepares you well for tests with homework and quizzes. he is very personable. I hate that this was the only semester teaching cost accounting.

I took Acct 6241, Financial and Managerial Accounting during the summer. I would say that it was very easy. He wants you to get an A/B in the class. The exams are pretty easy. Additionally, you don't even need to read the textbook. Just listen to his lectures and do the problems and you will be golden for all of the exams.

Comment:

If you have never taken accounting before, I do not recommend you take this course during the summer. 5 weeks, 20 chapters, 20 timed quizzes, 3 tests, and a novel to read. The last 2 weeks cover 14 chapters, 2 tests, and the novel. Very stressful class for summer. If you have had accounting you'll probably do ok. But if new to the subject beware!

Comment:

Took this class online during summer semester, which consisted of 3 tests. He understands that most of the people in the course are not graduate accounting students so his primary concern seemed to be that you, as an mba student, understands the basics. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Schisler is ok at telling stories, but when it comes to test he will never curve, expect quizzes everyday and a lot of people in a class will get a "D" if you like difficult tests, no curves homework and quizzes every day take Schisler...

Dr. Schisler is an amazing professor! If you go to class and take notes, you shouldn't have a problem. I hated accounting before this class. He actually helped me understand and somewhat like acct. He doesn't take attendance but I would go. He makes class interesting and fun. His stories are great. There are a lot of quizzes and they help!

Good teacher! You will learn if you just pay attention. No attendance is taken but there are quizzes that you will miss if you dont go. If you do not show up you will likely fail. I would reccomend him anyday.

He's a great teacher who really knows what he's talking about. You learn a lot in this class. He converted me to be an accounting major! Homework is not required but extremely helpful. He says there is an attendance policy, but its not enforced. 12 quizzes, 3 tests, 1 final, 1 easy project make up your grade. Fun man to learn from/be around.
