Comment:

Charlie is easily the best professor in the MPAc program. His lectures are amazing and really help you learn the material. He's really big on participation so make sure you always attend class and do the assigned readings. Large case study and take-home final are a lot of work so be sure to start early. Very helpful class to take for CPA prep.

Comment:

By far one of the best professors I've ever had. He makes the material in class engaging and always finds real world examples for auditing. Get ready to answer his questions in class because he genuinely enjoys learning students' names to call on them. It's a lot of fun because he will make scenarios for you to work through and avoid fraud.

Charlie is the man! His lectures are really helpful in making the concepts in the book make sense. His exams aren't necessarily hard but they make you think.

Fantastic professor. Explains everything with superb clarity and he clearly loves his job. Took this as a mandatory honors accounting class and I'm glad I managed to get into his class. Take this class, especially if you're in the honors program.

Charlie is the best Professor in the MPAc program. You will get the most out of his class. Pure discussion and a ton of writing. He is a tough grader but you will not get lower than a B in the class. Don't get use to this quality because the rest of the MPAc professors are terrible

Top notch professor. This class and his undergrad class helped me pass the audit section of the cpa and I couldn't have done any better without having him as a teacher. Lectures are absolutely excellent

Comment:

Charlie is among the best lecturers I've had throughout my entire educational career, even before college. I came into the class knowing nothing about audit, and I left knowing more than I ever thought I could. Crystal clear examples in his lectures and makes it easy to understand. No better person to learn auditing from. I love him

Charlie is by far the best professor I've ever had in any class. Somehow he was able to make me actually look forward to going to Auditing class. He truly understands how to help students learn and is (in my opinion) the most effective teacher at Bryant. You will learn a lot and he will make it easy for you. Guaranteed to laugh every class.

Charlie is the best professor I've had at Bryant. His quirky teaching style engages students and helps them learn. Had him in undergrad and his class was equally outstanding. Wish he taught more because he is really that helpful.

Comment:

At the undergraduate level, you probably do not appreciate his methods enough. They stick with you as you enter grad school or take the CPA exam. He exposes you to a lot of new material in a very manageable way...and it sticks! He's also a great guy and funny as all hell. One of the top 2 accounting profs at Bryant.

He really knows his auditing. Explains concepts very well and is very willing to hear questions. Calls on students during class to answer questions, so you should always be aware of what's going on. Tests aren't too bad, project is a lot of work, but is manageable.

Comment:

Three exams and a project. The exams are from his notes, 50-50 MC and Problems. The MC range frm easy to hard, and the Problems are right from class. The project is what makes this class difficult. It is useless, and will take you weeks to finish.

He's a very funny guy which lightens the mood. The extra exercises really help in understanding. He goes over the problems thoroughly which helps. You need to do the reading. A good professor. I don't like accounting, but he made it enjoyable and I learned a lot.

Very nice guy. You do really well as long as you read the book and the case studies and participate in the class discussions. His project is a little hard and you should be prepared to put a lot of time into it.

He is a very nice guy, but this class was kind of a shock. His exams were more on theory and assumptions then acutal numbers and formuals which was a little tricky. Plus he has the hardest take home exam.

Comment:

He's one of the friendliest professors I've ever had. Enthusiastic! I hated Fin Actg w/another Professor, but Managerial Actg was my fav class the following semester. He doesn't assign much work, if you have common sense and pay attention, you're golden.
