Dr. MacQuarrie is extremely intelligent but he is also very entertaining. Class was fun and I learned so much. He also is a silver fox and funny as hell.

The class was very straight forward. No surprises. If you keep up with the homework and really understand the practice problems, you will be fine. Overall the class was pretty interesting. Also, he was very helpful during office hours.

Comment:

Class was extremely easy and he told us everything that was going to be on the exam. You can miss 3 homework assignments before he marks your grade down and if you turn them in he gives you 100% without checking it. Very knowlegable, however, he is probably one of the biggest jerks I have ever met...just dont take him seriously...

I enjoyed his class. It was challenging and fair. He had extensive knowledge about the material. Also, very helpful outside of class. I enjoyed the course; he definitely helped prepare me for my current job a KPMG. If you are serious about acctng, take him.

Comment:

Very interesting lectures and he is very helpful with material, but the heck if anyone knows what he will put on the exams...sometimes its the smallest, inconsequential detail that you would think would never matter, other times its something so basic you almost think it must be a trick question.

Comment:

The dude is weird...he likes to ramble about stuff that has nothing to do with accounting. His tests are ridiculous! He will ask about the tiniest details that you would not even think you'd need to study. But, he's pretty fair with grading. Just pay attention to every single word he says, cuz it will prolly be on the exam.

Worst prof. I've ever had. He made going to class torture. He expects you to know everything, but teaches you nothing. If you want a good grade, suck up, otherwise you are screwed.

Comment:

I'd say he's a decent teacher but not great...or at least not as great as HE thinks he is...the guy is a little arrogant. If you want brownie points, participate in class and join his accounting club...it might pay off.

Comment:

JERK! I did not learn anything useful in this class. His test are difficult because he says anything he says in class is fair game but this includes talk about his UPAA and an essay contest. Always late for class and then keeps you late. Loves to tell stories that have nothing to do with acct or AIS. A waste of my time and money.

AJ is .. interesting. For a night class, it went by fairly quickly.. laugh at his jokes, show interest in "Code Blue" (lame novel we had to read), and he'll be nice to you and give you a decent grade. The tests are difficult, though, pay attention to EVERYTHING he says!
