Very helpful and knowledgeable. He taught me some real life stuff which is good for a change. Hard class but worth taking if you can afford a C. (second part is much easier to do well)

Comment:

Interesting class and nice professor, however he kept going off on tangents and it was hard to follow his points. The class in general is very confusing, but his marking style is relatively forgiving.

Comment:

His class wasn't easy, but Gorman is very knowledgeable. He jerked us around on the midterm though - only a few people finished it on time. He marked easy on the assignments, so that evened out the marks in the end.

Comment:

Dr. Gorman is very intelligent, but he is an **** and very unfair to students. The hardest thing for someone in a high rankeing is to be responsible, fair and use power for the good of people. Dr. Gorman has failed to do so...

Gorman is all about ego and power. Really, Gorman who cares about you. You're a little man we have to put up with to graduate. Quit showing this to your students and teach us accounting instead you jack ass! We're not here to hear about how students dislike you (which we do).

Really hard teacher. Worst mark I ever recieved in University. Not a bad guy. He will tell you there is a common exam which he is writing but this isn't true. Avoid him at all costs.

In his class he keeps saying that students think he's unfair. He's totally fair, but he can't teach at all. He's a horrible intro teacher with a super ego. Don't take his class!

Maybe his accounting level is too high so that he doesn't know how to teach the introductory accounting. EVerytime U go to class U will find U know nothing about what he is saying......and the exams are so difficult...

Don't take Gporman for 1st year accounting. He knows WAY too much and will over load and confuse you with stuff you don't need to know yet. But if you're taking an Acc course down the road he's a ok!

Comment:

Not a very good prof if you are looking to learn, he will give you lots of info about what kind of beer he likes & how many students don't like him. He is a powerpoint prof & he offers very little insight. I would suggest Morley or Lightstone
