Danny is a decent instructor. Took him a couple winters back. Does a great job on explaining the RICO laws and all the business ethics that organizations can do. As well as the relevance in the Digital Age. Tests are really ambiguous though.

This was by far the favorite class I took and Dan is an amazing professor. Recommend 101%. He has a lot of real world examples to share, which makes grasping the concepts really easy. Homework is online and simple. Tip: get a buddy to share hw with; cengage has an audio book. Points for attendance and the classes are fun & engaging! Lots of EC!

Comment:

Easiest class ever. You just complete assignments that take about 30 minutes a week. Do the assignments with some effort, and do the extra credit and you will only need a 70% on exams to pass. For exams the book doesn't come with an index, so make your own (know the "term" along with a page number). Just know where to locate things during exams.

Really great teacher, knows his stuff. Have to buy textbook and access code and then all the work in online, including the final. Which is good and bad, online homework can be confusing. Highest grade in the class sets the curve. Fairly easy A, just do all your work.

This was was fairly easy as long as you do the reading and homework every week. Mr. Salah gives you feedback on all the assignments and if you have any questions he replies to emails quickly. Final is commutative and you must pass the final to pass the class. The final is in person and on campus.

OMG cool teacher. He is a wealth of experience and explains Acct with REAL, interesting examples that are memorable, rather than the dumb boring textbook examples! IDK if he teaches at De Anza anymore though, but if he teaches again, take him!!

One of my favorite professors in De Anza. He makes his lectures very interesting and relates a lot of his information to real-life situations. I took him for 1A and 1B. If he was teaching 1C, I would have definitely taken him again.

Homework & a quiz every week, quiz every week is only 5 questions and is easy. The homework takes a while because you actually need to read the chapter the answer it. Not too much work for an online class. The final is in person and if you don't pass the final then you don't pass the class. Final is closed notesbook, it is really difficult, STUDY!

A lot of reading but that's expected since its bus law and a online class. What to expect: reading textbook, hw, quiz, and midterm are all online. Final is taken on campus. The way I handled this class is that I typed notes for every chapter I read so I wouldn't forget some material. Don't fall behind in the reading, Final is comprehensive.

Lots of reading. Quizzes and tests are based on the reading and asks a lot of detailed questions. He does offer a few extra credit assignments. He grades on a curve which is a huge help. There are 3 midterms open book, but drops the lowest grade. The final is on-campus and mandatory. No notes or textbook for the final.

Comment:

Professor Salah's humorous delivery of the course material is characterized by numerous anecdotes and examples. However, there is a strong disconnect between the way he prepares his students for exams (i.e. assignments, lectures, assigned readings) and the exams themselves which can be both hard to understand and misleading.

He was an awesome teacher! He always has great entertaining stories that tie into the subject and help you remember it later. I found his tests to be a little tricky in the way they were worded, but if you pay attention in class - You'll get it!!

One of my favorite classes, learned a lot! The test are kind of difficult though but he grades on a curve so that helps. Be prepared to study but he is an amazing lecturer. I actually looked forward to his classes. FYI you have to buy the book for homework assignments.

He's a very passionate teacher, I'm trying to take all his classes. He's got fun stories and accounting is easy. Attendance is graded and homework is 100% if you do it. You only need to get B's on the exams to get an A.
