Comment:

One of the best professors at the school. Tests are based on what is cobered in the lectures. Everyone who wrote negative comments didn't pay attention in cless. He gives you problems to work on that are directly related to test. highly recommended!

Comment:

I don't see what all the negative comments are all about. He's my instructor now. Good so far. You should tape all the lectures. The exam was everything he talked about in the lectures, not from the book. So if you do bad, its not his fault.

Comment:

I can't believe some of these negative comments about Gassen. He's one of my favorite professors I've had at Walsh. Straight to the point. No BS group project. No surprises on the exams. I wish more professors at Walsh were like him.

Comment:

Very good speaker, has an entertaining script, no tolerance for slackers. Can be abrasive if you get off topic, either in class or 1:1. Has a healthy disdain for BS in financial analysis and corporate reporting.

Comment:

Great instructor, amazing lectures, made the material easy to understand when the material could be technically difficult. Charismatic, what he lecutured about was on the test exactly. 3 tests, barely any homework, gained great knowledge and practical use. I would recommend to anyone, I hope to have the opportunity to take Mr. Gassen again.

Yes, he's a tough instructor. But I learned a lot in this class, aced the course, and became a better accountant. On-line courses are for whimps. Take this class.

Enjoyed his class. Bring a taperecorder to class and you will be ok. No book used but practical knowledge. He is an actor. No homework but listen to his tapes something you will need to understand financials. Simple
