Comment:

Had him in last summer - probably his last semester. Desautels admin is run by fools that is why Valiant is gone. I am subjective, but now he is gone, my ratings won't affect your choice. He will be missed.

Comment:

The best teacher in accounting ever. He is fair, sometimes it might seem really mean but he is totally justified in what he does. Lots of application to help you understand the concepts a lot better. Great interaction with students, lotsa fun. He's the best for IMA, I wouldn't talk for Intro or any other acct course though...

I never thought I would take accounting from a guy with a Jamaican accented - he's a funny guy - but that is still not enough for me to make it to class all the time. Review session is a must.

Here's how you get an A with this guy; 1. Dont buy the book 2. Write down everything he writes 3. Do the package of practice problems he gives you 4. Go to his review class.

This guy is awesome. Such a good teacher, just go to all the classes and you'll pretty much be fine for the tests without studying outside of class at all. Really funny, good stories & Life lessons, really cares about students.

Arguably the best teacher at McGill. Not always perfect, but close. Wants everybody to succeed and seems to have a true passion for accounting.

Comment:

He's a great person, but a good teacher he is not. His scrawlings on the blackboards result in your notes looking like a football playbook, with arrows here, there, and everywhere. You only have your textbook to study from, but beware the incorrect solutions to chapter problems. Where he differs from other profs is his humanity, and real decency.

Funny guy, horrible teacher. If you want to learn and need to be taught...not a good choice. If you can read the book and learn he is a joke to listen to. Good choice

Comment:

Good prof. doesn't go into detail for things that won't be useful in the future. Even though he doesn't follow the book, it may seem disorganized but he knows where he's going.
