Comment:

He is a great guy, but not a very good teacher. If you are an accounting major I would not recommend taking him. If you are not take his class for an easy B. He lets you out early every day and pretty much gives you the answers to the tests.

Comment:

If this is for a minor or a major where you won't actually ever use accounting, take this. He's super hard to understand but if you can teach yourself the basics through his power points you'll get an A. Had him for a 3 hour class and he only lectured for a half hour every time. His study guides are very much like the tests.

Comment:

Not a great teacher, but will provide you with helpful hints to the Seaside Marina project, which is what this course is except for the final exam. Would take him again for this course, he is there as moderator to answer any questions & that's about it. However, would not recommend him as a teaching professor.

Dennis gives you all the answers for Seaside Marina if you have attempted the work, he makes it very clear. He will help you individually to work out your issues. Very straightforward, Easy A. I would highly recommend him if you dont clearly understand financial accounting yet.

Awesome professor! He doesn't waste your time. Show up for the quizzes and that's an automatic 100%. He doesn't make anything more complicated then it needs be. He goes over the exam the day before the exam and you get to use a note card. Take this class!

Amazing teacher. I usually get B's and C's but I got an A- in the class. He isn't the best teacher but you learn the basics. Wish he was my prof for every class.

Comment:

He's not the greatest teacher but you can still do good in the class. If you go to class he gives extra random bonus points. Class is straight to the point and he tells you exactly what is gonna be on the test. You also get a notecard for the tests. No quizzes, regular amount of homework so bad overall. Can still do good if you don't get ACC.

Classes are very short & to the point. He tells you exactly what you need to know and then makes the class practice an example so you really understand the material. Prepares you incredibly well for tests and gives you a note card. Going to class helps you get extra random bonus points. Even if you get 80s on tests you can still get an A. Best prof

Comment:

Stovall was by far my favorite professor this year, he is funny and always willing to help out when you need it. Goes over almost every question before the exam and you are allowed to use a notecard on every exam. Did not really learn much in this class but if you are just looking for an easy class, this is the guy to take.

Comment:

Professor Stovall is a nice, funny guy, and knows his stuff about accounting. If you have no future with accounting, I cannot recommend this guy enough. His tests are based off the book, and during his reviews, he practically gives you the answers to like half the questions. He wastes no time during his lectures, so you always get out early.

I liked him a lot. He went through assignments in class and was always willing to give more explanation if asked. He is really clear on what will be on exams & lets you use a note card. He's funny & a nice guy. He doesn't waste time so the class gets through whatever you need to do, you get out early.

Dennis cares about his students. I am not an Accounting major, and he made it really easy for me to follow along and pass this class. Highly recommend, especially if you aren't going to go into this field.

Comment:

You could get an A in this class easily. Professor Stovall is not very exciting, but has some great one-liners. He offered our class a good amount of ExCredit. Gives you a notecard to use on tests. But is not super specific about what exactly is going to be on the test. My scores are very fluctuated. Super nice guy. Seems just ready to retire.

Comment:

This was one of the easiest classes I've taken at GV and it was an accelerated summer course. He does in-class quizzes that you get full credit for being present for, lets you use notecards for exams, gives out extra credit, cuts class super early, and is an overall nice guy. Only bad thing is that you need to read the book and teach yourself.

Stovall definitely treats this like the weeder class that it is.. He doesn't put a lot of effort into teaching, so be prepared to teach yourself. Exams are mostly quiz questions though, so it's not hard to pass. Overall, an okay class/professor.

I personally really liked Stovall. The course was a more learn on your own type, but I do really well with that. He cancels class all the time and gives out a ton of extra credit- I ended the semester with over 100%. He gives out many helpful handouts, I also learned from him, so it def wasn't a total blow off- I suggest him!

He never actually taught anything. The most he did was write a few equations on the board. Expected students to teach themselves. Cancelled class at least once every two weeks. He is a horrible professor.

Worst teacher at GVSU. Cancels class often, leaves early, never available during office hours. Doesn't teach anything. Rude and condescending, says ask questions, you as a question he gets irritated... Will not prepare you for 311.
