Comment:

Extremely horrible. Can't teach and always using the stupid useless powerpoints. I felt I had wasted a lot of time learning nothing. This prof is just garbage. He seems like he doesn't care about teaching and doesn't care about the student learning. It ridiculous, never will take him again.

Comment:

He is super nice and very entertaining. You will never get bored in his class. however he super forgetful and will forget to assign papers/HW and so you may have little time to complete them. There are 5 quizzes and a final. He drops the lowest quiz grade and made is take a quiz on the day of the final. Must read the textbook, material is difficult

Comment:

He's extremely disorganized and unapologetic about it. Constantly late posting homework or extra credit assignments or doesn't post them at all. Doesn't respond to emails. Goes off on tangents a lot, personal life or politics, so doesn't teach everything he should. It really doesn't feel like he takes his job seriously.

Comment:

This professor is extremely terrible. He basically taught us nothing and everything he says will never be understood by students who are just in accounting 2. He is basically talking to CPAs, investors or bankers. Does not even complete the chapter and does not go over questions that will be on the midterms. If you don't like to teach just don't.

Comment:

Everything that is on his exams are on his slides. If you read his slides you will be fine. If you don't have the book for further examples your going to be confused and if your not interested in accounting you will not care to pay attention. Half the class never shows up and wonders why the class average is 69. This professor is Awesome take him!

Never giving out practice exams, so you don't know what to expect on the exam and class ends up with an average grade of 69. Plus all his lectures are very boring and useless, because he's just keep on talking, talking, talking...

Comment:

Might possibly be the worst accounting professor in Hunter College. He is irresponsible and does not respond to emails. His lectures are PowerPoints and he gets off topic so often that he doesn't finish every chapter. You have to read youtself. It's unfortunate that theres only two professors for this course and he's one of them. Please avoid.

Comment:

He goes on a lot of tangents where sometimes you'd wish he would go on topic. He does not really convey the material in a clear and precise way. He assigns a few homeworks but its basically the exams that make up the grade. His teaching isn't the best but his exams are really hard (he curves).

Excellent professor. Had him in 1992. That was my first acct course. made the course look easy. Would recommend him. I have a BA political science (1995) from Hunter and BS in acct (2005) from BC.

He's a nice guy. Yes, he goes off on tangents a lot, but his test aren't hard. He gives you non-mandatory homework (with the answers) and his powerpoints on blackboard. Study his powerpoints and do the hw and you'll do fine. He'll try his best to give you partial credits. One exam he even made it out of 110. I don't understand the bad reviews.

Comment:

Had him for auditing. He's a pretty cool guy, but I'm sorry to say that his lectures are not very helpful. The quizzes were tough and very detail oriented. I know the subject isn't easy, but when the class average for the quizzes is a C- you know something isn't right. Final was very difficult as well. Also wish he was a little more organized

Okay, I've never had him as a professor but as a advisor he is terrific. He tries his best to solve student issues and give students permission to take certain classes. Very nice man and very helpful. He will be missed. (class of 2010)

He is a nice person. And, he is so funny. However, he is not a good prof. He knows his stuff, but I do not think he knows how to carry out his knowledge to students. His tests are so hard. If it makes any better, he does curve that does not help much either. Still, I like him as a person. So funny. =)

Comment:

Wonderful man, wonderful adviser, hooks you up with classes that need prerequisites if you have a good GPA... but HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! I will never in my life take him again. It was a waste of my money and lowered my GPA. I could have learned a lot more with Professor Liveson and gotten an A with 1/10th the amount of work. Not recommended. At all.

Comment:

Good for Eco 271, Eco 272 classses because exams are very similar to homework problems, infacts he tells you what type of problems he'll give you on exam, same for Eco 472. But basically He doesn't teach much. First and last half hour class he just talks.barely spends 25 mins on material.I wasn't satisfied the way he teaches. He takes it as a joke.
