Frank is hilarious and makes the class lively and fun! His class may have a low average but the bell curve makes everything work out! He teaches concepts clearly and encourages getting the material straight. Super dedicated. If you get a chance to be in his class, don't miss it.

Frank is a hilarious prof who really tries his best to help out all his students. If you are having difficulty with something you can easily email him and hell answer within the day. He really makes an effort to help you understand the course. His exams are pretty tough, but he gives good feedback on them and blesses in the end with the bell curve.

Extremely clear, helpful & makes lectures interesting. Really funny as well. His exams are not the easiest if you do not know how to think critically - they really test your understanding and thinking beyond a basic level. If youre keen on not being tricked and truly understand the subject, you will get an A+.

Comment:

Frank Nanfara is an amazing professor who can truly educate. His lectures are clear, concise and simplifies the course material significantly. However, his midterm and final exam require you to think critically and have a high level of understanding of concepts as he enjoys throwing in trick questions. Easy A+ if you understand really the content.

Comment:

TAKE THIS PROF'S CLASS. By far the clearest prof (provides his own dumbed down notes on class material). Does a lot of practice Qs in class. Easy to reach. Funny guy/down to earth. Most importantly he takes out the harder/confusing parts of the course for exams making his class much easier. Careful on cases as those are marked by TAs not him.

Comment:

Such a wonderful instructor; down-to-earth, easy to understand and eliminates the confusing content in the textbook. Tells you straight up which concepts are important, and will do everything to include in-class practice questions so you know his marking expectations. Most accounting professors are fairly good, but Frank is above the bar.

Comment:

One of the best professors at Schulich. He teaches very well and really wants his students to do well. He clearly explains concepts and is eager to help whenever you need it. Also, he's probably one of the best lecturers as they're not only entertaining but informative. I actually learned accounting in this class instead of just memorizing concepts

He is one of the best profs/instructors at Schulich. Such an amazing guy---he is a good teacher and at the end of the day, really wants his students to do well. He also marks very fairly and made accounting very easy for me to understand, coming in with no prior knowledge. I like accounting thanks to him.

Really awesome guy. I took this class because it is required, I have zero interest in accounting. However, Frank made accounting bearable and at time even enjoyable. I looked forward to attending all of his classes and he was really helpful to ensure I understood all concepts and cases.

Great prof! he teaches a very dry course but gets the concepts across very clearly to even those who hate actg. tuff on marking i would say. best would be to find an easy marking teacher, and go to frank's lectures. 1 of the best profs in terms of teaching ability. he has awesome notes!
