Comment:

To be frank, he is an awful teacher. Every lecture consists of him handwriting (with awful handwriting) lectures and answers to homework problems. He never even checks homework or attendance so only 10% of the class even shows up until exams. You MUST teach yourself., BE CAREFUL not to slack too much, your ENTIRE grade are the 6 exams.

This Professor would make your life much harder:( I took his MGT131B, trust me, he tried everything he can to make in-class exercise easy but exams as hard as it could be and he will not tell you the average score of the class. AVOID HIM please!

6 tests is the whole class. He gives hw but it does not need to be turned in, it is just for practice. I never went to lectures and reviewed outside class (A+) and it helped a lot.

Pretty difficult class. Your entire grade is 6 tests and that's it. Stopped going to class after the first couple weeks and went to A+ and they did a pretty good job explaining everything. He curves every test a little bit but not much!

Not a great teacher. Never takes attendance and says there is homework but younever actually need to do it or turn it in. I didn't go to the class once in the entire month of November. There are 6, 12-13 question tests and thats what your grade is.

Comment:

He really is a nice guy but extremely lazy in every aspect. Assigns homework, but doesn't check it. Doesn't take attendance, and sends his teaching assistant to office hours instead of being there himself. There are 6 tests for the entire grade. Manageable if you put in an absurd amount of effort.

Comment:

Terrible teacher. Whole grade is based on 6 tests, about 13 questions each. No curve. Lectures are only relevant to the homework, and the homework is only 50% relevant to the test. The rest you have to read from the book on your own. This dude sucks and is boring and tells garbage jokes. DO NOT GO TO A+ review. Complete SCAM. They won't help.

Comment:

The class itself really isn't too difficult. However, he's debatably the worst professor on campus. His "lectures" are unbelievably dull and aren't the least bit helpful. It's amazing that such a terrible teacher is the ONLY option for a class that's already difficult.

Comment:

I took the once a week, 2+ hour class offering. Lectures are boring but you usually get out early. The lecture notes are a good outline and overview for each chapter, but it is best to read the textbook yourself. The homework is easy and gives a nice boost to your grade.

IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACCOUNTING 202 TAKE ANDERSON. he is so much easier than any other teacher. your entire grade is based on 6 tests each of which are EASY 12 question tests. Attendance is not mandatory or necessary. I only showed up on test days and got an easy A by going to A+ review the night before. Anderson also is a cool guy, very respectable

Comment:

Anderson's class is made for typical College Student who has other stuff to worry about. I don't want to take a cumulative final ever, and he suffices there. His lectures and tone are a bit boring so using outside review or personal teaching is needed. But honestly, if you put in SOME effort, this class is a piece of cake.

Comment:

Alright, ideally this is a great class. I don't know about you, but I don't want a 16 chapter cumulative final. However, this man is the definition of monotone. His lectures are boring. Id suggest taking this class and investing in A+ review to pass with flying colors.

Tough tough class. 6 exams, about 13 questions each and he does not curve whatsoever. Get ready to read a lot or go to A+ review. The only reason I passed this class was because my friend loaned me old test questions.

Comment:

Avoid this professor if you can. To do well, you really need to read and learn on your own, as he leaves things out in his lectures. If you do end up with him, your best bet is to either go to A+ review, or read the entire textbook on your own.

Prepare to teach yourself everything. Grade is only on six 12-13 question tests. So if you are not a good test taker, I defiantly do not recommend.

Friendly. Def read chapter/complete hw before attending lecture. Your grade is based on how well you do on 6 tests with about 15 questions each. You will have to teach yourself some concepts; text-heavy class

Comment:

I went to class - skipped a couple times. Super straight forward. If you go to class, do the homework, then tests are a piece of cake. He literally just changes the numbers. He cares about students, gives you a ton of notes, definitely more than needed. All his homework had clear examples and took like an hour tops. I took his class at UCSD.

Absolutely do NOT take this professor. Avoid him like the plague. I had to retake this class again over summer because I got a 69.88%. 70% is a solid C and he DOESN'T ROUND. I'm not a bad student either, I can guarantee you that I have always been in good academic standing but he ruined so much for me. Only 3 tests, that it in the grading books.

Comment:

I was able to pass this class without going to lectures. I learned most things just by studying the book, a lot of people just go to A+ review for his tests as well. 6 tests, 12-13 questions per test. Spends one day to lecture then 2-3 days on explaining the homework, which is not mandatory. Doing the HW will help with the tests though!

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH ANDERSON! He does not care about students at all. Class is based on three hard test. Emailed him and he sent me a generic email he sent out to the rest of his students. He does not teach at all. Unless you have money for a + review I wouldn't suggest this class at all.
