Comment:

He is a good teacher, but if you really want to learn, take someone else. Bob is great if this is a class you just need to get out of the way, he is super easy. I took his class for my minor, so it didn't matter, but if accounting is your major, take a different class

Comment:

He does not teach very well. He talks more about his family problems than accounting. He teaches out of the book and does not write his own test. Homework is online and pretty easy, gives you a few tries to do the problem so you will always get 100 %. He is loosing his hearing, but he is a super nice guy.

Comment:

He's a very knowledgable guy and you understand he knows his stuff. But his tests are all the points and they aren't very easy... He teaches straight out of the book the entire class, so if that's what is best for you then this would be the professor for you.

Comment:

Bob is an awesome guy. His stories are funny (especially the story about the guys sitting under a blanket on the beach). Teaches EVERYTHING that is going to be on the test BUT the tests are HARD because that is how cost/managerial tests are set up. You have to think backwards through most of the problems. Best quote in the business college: Oh Bob

Showers is hella funny. Overall the class was okay, I ended up with a B, if I would of tried a little harder I would of gotten an A. Just show up and do the work you'll be okay. The book is very helpful so I recommend it.

Comment:

This guy is awful. His tests are the only points in the class and they are extremely hard. Not to mention half the stuff on his tests he didn't go over or explain in class. If you want to study hard only to fail a test, go ahead and take this class.

Do not take the night class. So much to study in 3 hrs once a week. If you can study by yourself and can read the book go for it. Take the regular class with him

Comment:

Showers is hilarious. He doesn't always explain things the greatest in class, but he will clarify if you ask. Attendance is not part of the grade so you can pick and choose the classes you go to. I skipped most Fridays and still got a B. He always lets you know what homework he will be taking for a grade. Tests are rather difficult and must study.

Comment:

I find him frustrating. I dont think he explains things well at all. Gives alot of homework not worth points and it kills you at the end of the course. Turned our bonus into participation points and it dropped me a letter grade. Test are very hard and homework is not explained clearly and most of the time pretty tough. He expects you "to get it".

Comment:

He is fun and experienced. But it's really hard to get an "A" :( And no, he DOESNT use cheat sheet anymore, and the tests are tough too. Try hard and you'll get a B. Pray and try harder you'll get an A (I guess)

You do not need to go to class to pass, but you should to get homework assignments. Tests are multiple choice with a problem or two. Does this for a living.

Comment:

Amazing teacher! His explanations are crystal clear, and he's a fun teacher. He cancels class several times per semester. M/C tests and maybe a problem or two. Cheat sheet on test! Showers is the only accounting teacher you should *ever* take for ACCT 2101 and 2102!

Nice person, makes class interesting. Good teacher, explains things in an easy way. Not much assignment. Tests are not easy, you gotta know the topic and study for it. The class is not easy, you gotta use the book frequently. But he explains stuff in an easy language. Don't miss class for your own good.Participation is not required.Experienced prof
