Comment:

Lots of quizzes and tests. Not great on the admin side - slow to grade and errors in notes/tests but very generous in curves and bonus quizzes. Sometimes zips through class notes quickly so be sure to speak up if you have questions. Has a lot of real life knowledge to share. Caring and wants students to succeed. Recommend attending every class.

Comment:

Lectures are engaging for the subject matter and he seems nice; however, he never responds to email. Also, he frequently has wrong answers coded on study sheets, quizzes & exams -- this is SO frustrating and will affect your grade if someone in class doesn't catch it. I think he means well but the # of errors made this class a headache.

Comment:

He is a fair professor and that's all you can ask for in any Intermediate Accounting class. It's a very hard class, but if you put the time in, you won't have any problem getting an A. Professor Clements gives you everything you need for the exams and usually only has one or two tricky (but not impossible) questions.

very nice & understanding, took him for a 4 week class & he even moved the test back a day because half of the class was taking another 4 week class that had a test on the same day. 3 test and learnsmart, do the practice exams he post to connect they are very similar to the test problems, he does curve, but will not post grades until they are due

Comment:

Clements is a nice guy, but boy does he love to hear himself talk. His lectures were redundant and did not cover much of book. However, his exams only had book questions. Good luck reading 200 pages of a textbook! The only godsend is that exams are open-note, open book and most are take-home.

He is a really nice guy and presents the material pretty well. The only issue I had was that he often seemed ambiguous about when stuff would be graded.

Comment:

Teaches well, doesn't reply to emails, not active on D2L. Fair grading 40% highest exam score any of the 3 exams, 1 financial analysis 10% of grade (very easy). Exam question can be tricky but not professor's fault. Accting has a lot of gray areas. He tries to make exams fair.

Comment:

Professor Clements is overall pretty good professor. He brings a lot of real world examples into his lecture, which helps a lot. Very nice and Funny guy. He genuinely cares about his students. I would take him again. Like most 2100 classes there are 2 test and a final. Online quizzes and homework as well.

Comment:

I am in his class right now for ACCT 2100. He might be good at teaching upper level accounting classes, but he does not know how to explain on a lower level. Don't take him if it's a low level accounting. He does care about his students though,

Comment:

Dr. Clements is a very nice guy, but he goes on a lot of tangents and has a bit of a monotone voice. However, the class is certainly worth taking and he is one of the best accounting professors at Kennesaw. He has tons of credentials and knows what he is talking about. He teaches accounting from a practical perspective. Recommended.

Comment:

Clements was knowledgeable but sometimes had a hard time getting his point across. He repeats himself a lot, and it usually makes for a boring class. He jokes and that helps. I was surprised by the midterm but ready for the final. Study. He allows a cheat sheet for exams. Accessible and helpful. Group project and paper were very easy.

Teaches from experience. Took as a December mester course and didn't need the book. Tests are easy if you understand the material and have basic logic. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Not very organized or well-prepared for class.Never received a grade until the final one. Felt as if he assumed a base of accounting knowledge that I and most of my colleagues did not have.I did well but found the class to be neither challenging nor interesting. To get ACCT8000 under you belt with a good grade for minimal pain, take him

This professor is very nice, very repetitive, but easy. I believe the only thing required all semester is to take 3 tests.

Comment:

Prof is highly educated and has a lot of "real world" experience so he relates accounting principles to current events. He grades pretty easy on the group work and we never stayed the entire class time.
