Although his class was difficult, it was worth it. Years later, I realized that his class was one of the few I took that helped prepare me for my career in finance.

If you could avoid taking this teacher, I advise you do!! The average grade per student is a B or C. He barely teaches & gives extremely hard tests.

Comment:

THE DEAL:(I had him for ACI&II & FI201)NOT an easy prof. His style: Assigns Reading & HW prior to "teaching it". You teach yourself, check your answers in the back of the book & in class. You can ask him to show you how to do the problem and the answers, and then the process repeats itself. Hard tests, I always work hard & always get a B.

If you want an easy class, DO NOT TAKE HIM. He does want to help you, but can't seem to understand how to. MUST do all of homework to understand and basically teach yourself.

Comment:

alright, alright. here's the deal with this dude. he does not teach; he assigns. if you cannot teach yourself from a textbook you will not benefit from this class. his answers to your questions rarely make any sense, as he does not understand his students. on the other hand, he really does want all of his students to do well, and he isn't "out to g

Comment:

You learn absolutely NOTHING in this class. He makes jokes during class, to take your mind off the fact that your learning nothing. Than he has the nerve to make the test extremely difficult, which proabely would not be hard if he was actually teaching.

Awesome, too bad I didn't have him for accounting II. You will really learn stuff as long as you read. If you don't do the reading you will probably not do well.

Comment:

He's okay if you have already had some experience in accounting already but if you haven't, sucks for you. He goes extremely fast and is an "overhead projection" type and expects you to copy FAST. Much too difficult and fast to teach a low level
