Comment:

Comes across as a scary, crusty old professor. Really cares about his students though. Excellent at teaching material. Don't expect an A, but you'll probably learn more from his class than anther professor at Towson. Highly recommended. Come prepared to every class and you'll be fine.

Comment:

He's a good teacher, but certainly not nice. He will call you out and make a fool of you. However he tends to make a fool of everyone. You won't be alone. Stay ahead of your fellow students and you get a decent grade. An A- is possible, because that's what I got. Most of your peers will get a C or B. Study his lectures before exam. Sucking up helps

Comment:

Rosenberg is notorious for being a tough professor but he is really good. If you follow his requirement closely, you will be fine. It's a very hard class but you will leave with so much more than what you came with. He explains very well. Read the chapters, ask questions, and read all the chapters again before the exam. You will pass with an A

Tough exams. Professor expects students to read the chapter before class and then hits the main points of the chapter in class. What he goes over in class is what is typically on the exam.

Comment:

Rosenberg is a tough professor, but he means well and is extremely clear on his expectations from the first day of class. Not a professor for those that are extremely emotional, but he knows his stuff and takes note of effort. Do not miss class and participate even if you get the wrong answer. If you don't do well in his course go to office hours and ask questions. There is a major curve at the end of the semester.

Comment:

No doubt, Rosenberg's Tax course is tough. You should attend classes, participate, take notes, do homework, and study hard. You should never drink out of a water bottle in his classroom, chew gum, or ever pull out your phone. He has a very dry sense of humor that I'd say less than half of the class actually gets. Make the effort, and he'll notice.

Comment:

He is a very intelligent man. He knows the material and the real world. Tax is hard and has alot going on, but he picks the main concepts and tell you what to focus. about 80% of test comes from his lecture and notes. Focus on those and read and understand related parts in the book and IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET AN A from him b'c I did it.

Comment:

This class maybe the most useful class I have taken. I learned more than I could have imagined. This class is very hard and time consuming, however any tax class would be the same way. If Rosenberg taught tax 2 I would defiantly choose him again.

Comment:

This is going to be a hard class no matter who teaches it. He does a great job conveying the information and explaining what is important. He's helpful but it requires a lot of work to succeed. Follow his rules and get him to know your name. Take notes and pay attention.

Tax is hard. Rosenberg tells you that the first day and throughout the semester. Take good notes, read the books and participate in class and you will not fail. He really wants to help students who help themselves and want to learn.

He explains the information well it is just a hard course in general because there is a lot of information. If you show up to class and study your notes it is an easy B, if you read the book as well you should be able to get an A

Comment:

Who in their right mind would like this class? If you're seen with bottled drink or on a cellphone he will mentally dock you a grade. Everyone is scared in his class. He comes late, assigned seating for tests. Hard to have a discussion b/c he wants to go. Tests IMPOSSIBLE. You're lucky to get C+/B on the major & necessary curve.+ Homework. Run 4 it

Comment:

He is the best teacher in Towson. His tests are hard, but he curves everyone's grades. Listen to what he says in class and you'll do well on the tests. You may not get an A in his class, but you will definitely take a lot from it. This class is worth every penny. I would recommend you take the class with Rosenberg...and ONLY Rosenberg!

Comment:

Face it this is not an easy class. Rosenberg IS the guy you want to learn it from. You need to study material that makes no sense, then when you go to class he will clarify it all. Exams will leave you dazed and confused, but you will get a curve that wont make sense at first but its good. This is a rough class good luck!

This class is extremely hard, but you will learn the material. He is a really good teacher and tells you what you need to know(in life and for the test). Rosenberg is a really good teacher and I wouldn't have wanted to have anyone different for tax accounting.

Comment:

This is a hard class. It was VERY dry as was he, and I never looked forward to going. We had to sit in the seats he assigned us. No drinks. If you answered the question wrong when he calls on you, he made fun of you, so NOBODY answered questions except 2 people (which were his favorites). I got a C. Figures.

Comment:

Treat the class like he treats it. The way he treats it is, "that's the law." Everything in the class is based on legislation not philosophy. Spend time practicing the math as he will not, but will test on it. It is a specialized law class.

Comment:

Don't take him. If you are among one of his favorites, you will end up getting A or you will get a C but you will not fail. Attendance mandatory. Tests Hard. The average for the test would be around 52. The highest score in the exam would be around 70. If you are his favorite, you will get an A otherwise expect to get a C.
