Comment:

Really nice teacher. I felt like he really cared about his students. He is a boring lecturer, but I got the sense that he really was trying his best. And he does know his stuff. He is fair and straight forward. Nice guy, and he won't give you a raw deal. A very safe choice if you need this class or any other class of his.

Comment:

poor teaching. If you just want a good grade, take him! He has review for every exam and it's pretty much it. I dont learn anything :( He has 2exams, 1 take-home midterm, and group assignment. He said he will take attendance randomly, but he doesnt do that at all. Just come 1 meeting before all exams to get the review. teach via useless overhead.

Teaches via overhead...lots of them. He goes very fast, but will slow down if you ask. He's extremely helpful,especially with prrojects. However, you choose your own group, so choose wisely.

What a funny and nice guy! Will correct your projects before you turn them in and explains things well. He also gives you all the needed information to study for the quizzes. Be on time though...he is an unspoken fan of tardy people.

Easy Class!! Just do all your homework and read the textbook and you're fine. Class is very straight forward and he tells you exactly what he expects on the quizzes, mid term and final. He is also a very nice guy and really knows his stuff.

Comment:

He's a very fast instructor, and wants his students to know everything right after he puts the material of the overhead. Most of the stuff comes straight from the book, so if you read it the class is a breeze. His instruction is hella boring though, can anyone say "Ben Stein, from clear eyes, Wow"!!

Great teacher with lots of personal experience to add to the class. A little too quick with the overheads but if you prepare for the class, you will do just fine!

Comment:

Easy, the only hard part are 3 Quizs(50x3=150) and the final(100), however, within the 400 total, 70 are guranteed, if you can get that, you are extremely lazy. Read the book once then you are ok. Reply to the one below me: " Learn nothing? you sucks! Can't you read the book you bought?"

What a great teacher should be. He makes understanding accounting easy even if you can't stand the topic. Gives huge hints about what you will see on the test and is a great help during office hours. A+++

Quite possibly the very best teacher I have ever had. I wish they could all be Oakson. You won't find a more helpful teacher. He makes everything crystal clear. I can't stand accounting, but I didn't mind taking it with him as my teacher!!!

Accounting for dummies. He is a step by step instructor who makes sure everyone understand the concept of accounting. All exams are MC and he will give reviews of the exam/quizzes a day before the exam.
