Hes really a great guy. Friendly, positive, and knows his subject! Took 311 and 401 with him. Tests are all multiple choice but difficult and some questions were random:/

Comment:

I wouldn't recommend this professor to anyone, very boarding and mono-tone person..doesn't make the subject interesting at all. He contradicts himself quite often which makes it complicated in class, he's good with the homework but that's all. Avoid is classes.

A horrible teacher... contradicts himself a lot, he confuses you because he's confused and if you're no in an accounting firm, do not take his classes....He isn't good at getting back with emails....I wouldn't not recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

This guy is terrible. Hes boring, mono-toned, unorganized, and confusing. Don't bother going to class, you will get nothing but sleep out of his lecture. Most of the class I had to teach to myself. The only good thing is that he's nice. He doesn't answer e-mails though so go to class if you need to ask him something. Avoid if possible.

Great Teacher!! Gives homework everyday but it has to do with what will be discused in class and topics on the tests. He gives a study guide and a quiz before every big exam and its a big help. Always there if you have any questions. I'd take him again.

Took 311 and 355 with him and my goodness me, it was horrible experience. Nice prof but extremely confusing, boring and disorganized! He's so confused that he makes you even more confused... I don't know how I will cope this semester.

Comment:

He is a very nice guy, has good sense of humor, and is a pretty good teacher. If you print out all the chapter layouts and do the homework, you will be absolutely fine. The tests are exactly like the homeworks. In act 311 though, be prepared for a practice set, though which is difficult, but it is only a one time thing, worth 10% of your grade.

Great teacher! All you have to do is read/scan the book to figure out the homework assignments and then next class he goes over them. A little bit of self teaching involve but it is more of a try it first then learn situation. Funny but in a way that no one laughs. haha

Awesome guy! If you don't like him, you're the problem, not him. At times it is boring, but who said accounting was supposed to be fun? He's wicked smart, knows his stuff, and teaches it well. Do the homework and show up to class. He's very easy to talk to and understandable. Anybody who actually takes responsibility for themselves will do fine

Comment:

awesome teacher. if you are an accounting major then you need to concentrate on your core courses, these being some of them. teachers dont' matter. getting into senior year there are little sections to choose from. the teacher doesn't make the grade you in your core courses, you do, so get up off ur ass and do some work and you'll be fine. easy A

One student actually fell over onto the floor from his desk after falling asleep during ACT Info systems class. I think that speaks volumes about the liveliness of his classes.

Comment:

He's a really smart guy. Definitely willing to help students and wants to see them do well. Just go to class and do the homework! - pay attention in class when he goes over homework problems and make sure you understand them. Class can be boring at times, but you will learn a lot. Lots of homework, and tests are what you do in class.
