Really bad professor. Spends his time giving motivational speeches. I never attended class only to take quizzes. Learned from the textbook and youtube videos. TAKE THE OTHER PROFESSOR IF YOU CAN!!!

Comment:

Not a bad guy. Really helpful when I reached out for hw help. His class is NOT packed because people are scared of the reviews on here. Use that to an advantage. Less people means more meaningful lectures. Don't expect it to be easy, you do have to put in here. If u listen to the majority of the reviews, you're only becoming like them. Be different

Comment:

For someone who preaches about wanting students to learn/understand accounting, he sure does an awful job in assisting the learning process. Lectures are useless and youre better off going to someone elses lecture or just teaching yourself bc he wastes time during class on off topic tangents. Left this class learning nothing and disappointed.

Comment:

Hes a great person but an awful professor when it comes to actually being able to teach. Have to put in twice the amount of effort into an already challenging class. Highly recommend watching YT videos as lectures but good luck if you have no choice but to take him. Again hes a great man but his style of teaching could be a lot better. Take Kilic

Comment:

Gamble is a tough grader and his notes/lectures are all over the place. With that being said, students were able to pass by studying his notes religiously and by getting to know Gamble in and outside of class. While the material may seem impossible, he does care about his students and I learned a lot during the semester.

Comment:

Worst professor at Bauer! He does not care about his students (consistently comes to class late with no explanation) and does not hold office hours. I dont know why UH keeps him around. Professors like him ruin the schools reputation. I would say stay away but hes the only professor teaching this class.

Comment:

By far the worst professor at Bauer! Make sure you only take this class with easier classes because you will have to dedicate ALL your time to studying for this class in order to pass. Gamble will make sure it's your worst semester at UH.

Comment:

Though he is a nice guy, he is very unorganized and takes too long explaining things. He gets side-tracked a lot and gives life lessons, and usually comes to class about 20-30 minutes late. When he does get to explaining the material, he is not very clear and tends to be all over the place. He does not have office hours, so you're on your own.

Comment:

Dr Gamble spends a large proportion of class time mocking your intelligence. He explains concepts terribly and uses different methods to the textbook. He will deliberately try to trick you in exams. Exams are 6 hours long, and he's a really tough grader. I'm an A-grade student, yet through sweat and blood I received a C+.

Comment:

The 2nd time taking his class, and not voluntarily. He's the only prof teaching, so no option. Very knowledgeable, but umps all over the place while teaching and doesn't cover much material at all. Repeats the same thing every day and expect students to follow him. Talks fast, write horribly, can't teach. Avoid him at all cost!!!

Comment:

The professor uses very different approach to solving problems as those described in the book so don't even try to read it or you will get confused. He doesn't want to test your knowledge, instead he tries his best to trick you during tests and then spends couple hours laughing at mistakes students made. Avoid him if you can.

Comment:

Professor Gamble is a very tough teacher. He seems to be stuck in the past and is using a 2009 book for all his notes, tests and homework assignments while issuing a $200 book for us to read, which covers thing differently than in class. This is hard as he doesnt explain anything in class and chooses to spend the class insulting students work ethic

Comment:

This professor is an embarrassment to Bauer. He is bad quality and cannot teach. You have to teach yourself everything and it's never enough. He goes out of his way to trip you up and make his tests extra hard. And even if you have the right answer, if he feels you didn't understand enough he won't give you full points. Worst prof ever.

Worst prof ever. He never respect any of his students; always cancel classes, hard test without teaching; cancel scheduled review session without telling anyone (all the students were waiting in front of his office while he was having a phone call with his friend; laughing like those students standing there was not what he should worry about)

This class gave me my first gray hair. Not coincidence or me aging gracefully but because this class is a nightmare. On the bright side, I will never forget how to consolidate financial statements.

Terrible professor, it's a shame UH continues to reward him. He's bad at explaining concepts and won't answer questions outside of office hours. Try to hold out until he retires you'll get nothing out of the class...

Comment:

Although he is a nice professor, lectures and tests are typically conceptual. If you cannot grasp the concept the best you may get is a C-. He also likes to pull information on tests from other accounting tests so study previous accounting courses.

Apparently not everyone that has a PhD is capable of teaching and he is one of them. Expect to teach yourself for the whole course and no life if you take him on summer.
