Comment:

He's a great teacher, and he definitley knows his stuff. You have to study hard to get a good grade, but the curve is huge. (Anything above a 83.33% is at least an A-) Study the practice tests, because they are somewhat similar.

Comment:

He has gigantic curve. I literally failed his final and got a B in the class. Of course I had an A- before that on his previous exams so I took a mighty fall(sanders/frakes finals all on one day is suicide). But he's way cool, if you don't know, Al Frakes is the man.

Comment:

This class is really really hard. And his notes aren't my favorite since I learn better by writing everything myself first. However, he's really helpful and really nice! He remembers everyone, even after you've finished his class. He's retiring this year, so grab his class if you can!

Frakes is retiring this year, and in case he happens to read this, thank you for making the transition from Zoology to accounting very easy, given I had never taken an accounting class before. you are a fantastic teacher.

One of the best professors you coudl have! A+++. He actually cares about the students and what they learn. The classes he teaches are not easy, but you'll learn a lot. If you do your part by studying, doing homework, and coming to class, he'll do everything he can to help you.

He is really nice, but his tests are really tough. He has more than 9 hrs of office hours every week, very helpful. I guess he doesnt has a wife, so he stay in university office all the time.

He's the absolute BEST accounting teacher I can imagine. Uses multiple examples, well-organized notes packet, goes over homework in class. Available for extra help - better at answering questions in person, if you don't understand in class. A++ prof.

Teaches subject thoroughly. Helpful. Goes over "turn-in" homework in class. Is especially nice if you get to know him.

Comment:

He loves this subject and is very helpful/enthusiastic. He is also a tough grader. I dropped the class because it was at 7:30 am. He and Amy Alward are both good for Acctg. 231. She doesn't assign homework during summer school.

Really not sure about him. I dropped the class after two weeks because I didn't like him or the subject matter. But I've heard from others that he gets better.

Comment:

While he may not seem great at first, compared to the other teachers for this course, he is by far the best. His lectures notes are a life-saver. The man himself is the cutest little accounting guy ever. Pants up past the waist and a pocket-protector!
