Comment:

Dr. Strawser was a great teacher to have for accounting. The class itself has difficult material to understand, but he breaks it down as easily as he can. Make sure you do the extra study problems and in class assignments for practice. Don't fall behind in the class; he can move fast at times. Textbook is needed for study problems.

Comment:

Take. Strawser. He's hilarious! Really good teacher, knows the AIS is boring as all get out. Super accessible outside of class. No book needed. Start your SAP early, show up to class during the Excel stuff, it's definitely challenging. 3 tests, all super early in the course. SAP and Excel start in April, I basically didn't attend til from then on.

Hes a great professor who makes sure you learn the material and not just memorize it. Accounting is hard so don't expect an easy class but he teaches it very well and grades very fairly.

Strawser is probably the best professor I've had at Sam. The material can be tough, but he explains it REALLY well in class. The book is difficult to understand, but you need it for the assignment problems.

Excellent professor to take for Cost Accounting! Even though hes a real funny guy, hes straight to the point and explains things very well. Whatever is on his notes WILL be on the Exam. I wish every professor was similar to Strawser, because our college lives would be so much easier.

Great professor! He explains everything very well and his exams are spot on with the study material. Cost can be challenging but he dumbs it down for the students very well. I would recommend him for all classes he teaches.

Comment:

He is an amazing professor. He really cares about his students and will tell you exactly what is on his mind. Cost accounting is a tough subject for some to comprehend but if you do some of the homework, read, and redo his example from class you can make an A. I suggest buying ebook because you really only need it for HW probs (actual is expensive!

Strawser is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. If you had a hard time with the first accounting, I would recommend taking his class. He makes a tough subject manageable and gives you the tools you need to pass, but you have to EARN your grade! He's also hilarious! Some advice: DO THE BONUS PRACTICE SET. IT'S WORTH IT!

Dr. Strawser is by far the best accounting professor at SHSU! If you do not want to work for your grade, I don't know why you're at a university. If you are an accounting major and what an "easy" class, then he is not the professor for you. I truly do not think you will find an "easy" accounting professor! Earn your grade!

Comment:

Dr Strawser is the best accounting professor I've had yet, out of 3. He likes to joke around and really encourages class dialogue, even if its only humor and jokes. The material he covers is difficult to some but his lectures and in-class assignments help a lot. He grades tests very much in your favor, grading concepts instead of exact values.

This was the hardest class I've ever taken. I took it during the summer and worked my butt off and got a high B. Anyone that complains they didn't do better didn't try hard enough. I took this class Summer 2015

Comment:

Strawser is a good cost professor. While I say that please avoid him taking for Intermediate 2. When we took Intermediate 2 with strawser last year, half of the class ended by getting a D. Intermediate 2 is a make or break class for accounting majors. If you want to repeat intermediate 2 please take him, otherwise avoid.

Dr. Strawser is a top 5 professor at SHSU. He makes a tough class manageable and cares about his students. His dry sense of humor makes his class fun but understand it is still accounting. Also DO NOT skip his class. You will also need the book for participation grades.

He makes the class very interesting, and easy to follow along when taking notes. He tells you exactly what is on the exam . I had to use the textbook for the assignments in class, also he has a make up final which is cumulative and can replace an exam grade. The practice set is hard.

Strwaser is by far my favorite professor I have ever had! If you care he cares. I would take him for all of my accounting classes if I could. He is hilarious and honest with his students. He makes sure you understand if you go to his office and ask for help. If you get the opportunity to take him DO IT!

Dr. Strawser is honest about the difficulty of the class, but does the best he can to make a tough class bearable. He explains the material clearly & gives you the neccessary tools to pass. He posts study problems for each chapter online, posts handouts for lecture notes, answers e-mails quickly & encourages in class questions. Great professor!

He tells you how it is. His teaches to the facts that needed to be told. If you do not ask questions on things you are unsure of go ask. He is willing to help.
