Comment:

Worst professor I have ever taken in my whole life. During class, he spent the majority of the time going off track and talking about football and sports. Literally did not teach and just assigned homework from the book. The next meeting he would give out the answers w/o even explaining the process to finding it. I even changed my major after that.

Comment:

Accounting is tough in general, so its no stroll through the park. I would recommend to avoid this professor at all costs, unless you are available for tutoring. He doesnt teach much, OR AT ALL. Each class he just tells you which new chapter to read and tells you to highlight paragraphs all class. He doesn't review materials thoroughly. Get help

Comment:

Horrible Professor! Do not take him.. He goes in the first day of class assigning hw and telling us there's an exam the following week without even teaching at all. All he does is tell you to highlight things on the book. Avoid him and take another prof.

Comment:

I don't know why people are saying he's hard, he's extremely easy. You just study what he goes over in class the day before the exam. No homework, only 6 tests including finals, he doesn't curve the grade but he IS really easy.

Comment:

He knows what he is teaching, but he jumps into the conclusions about his students!!!! He judges students so easily that I have no desire to recommend him to any one. His judgements are not cool at all. "It's a not good teacher that doesn't believes in his students."

Class was easy, summary due every week and tests every other week.Not much is done in class, he just goes over a couple points and tells stories over and over again. I got a B but I didn't try.

Comment:

His test are very do-able. Yes, he may not teach as much but he does go over homework in class and all his assignments are pretty relevant to the exams that are given. Read on your own and do your homework! As he said study each and every line in each chapter and you'll get an A. Oh and ask questions. Don't be lazy.

OMFG, the worst teacher ever in my two years in PCC. What he gives on tests are irrelevant to his lectures! His never curves the tests. The only thing useful in his lectures is his chapter guidelines or something like that.

Comment:

Dont expect him to lecture... He doesnt teach at all... I think ill recommend him to do online classes instead because all he does is giving u answers for ur exercises from the book...he doesnt curve nor giving out extra credit.. His tests are not hard.. If u want a passing grade...take it..otherwise avoid this lazy professor..

Comment:

Avoid this teacher if you want to learn Accounting or if you want an A. He is lazy and does not know how to teach. He does not lecture and your total grade is based on 5 tests and 1 final throughout the semester. It is easy to fall behind and hard to pick up your grade. He is a lousy professor. Avoid him!!!

Comment:

Prof Staley doesn't lecture very much, but that's made up by the fact that the tests are very much do-able. Just as he advised early on in the course, read the text on your own, do all assigned HW, and don't be afraid to ask questions in class. He may not lecture much, but he always manages to explain any questions you have in a very clear manner.

Horrible professor. Does not lecture. Keeps class for the entire time and talks about useless information NOT pertaining to material. Attendance is mandatory. He takes attendance after break. Be prepared to sit and be bored.

Very good professor. Easy tests as long as you read the book. Make sure to study hard. Know every word of every line. Usually lets the class out REALLY early and interests the students with interesting anecdotes.
