Comment:

He has hand outs each class period and works through the problems after you've done some group work on them. He made the classroom feel like back in high school where I was actually being taught and not just thrown information to learn for myself.

Comment:

I am preparing for his exam 3 and I feel so painful now. I actually can learn nothing from his lecture. He always gave us handouts and let us do the handouts all by ourselves. All the exams are based on self-study. No practice exam btw.

Comment:

Grading is 88% exams and 12% professionalism, so if you don't do well on the exams you're screwed. His exams are tricky but fair. Do his in class problems, optional homework problems, and READ THE BOOK, and you'll be fine. I personally like him as a professor.

Comment:

Professor Tiller gives you a tough introduction to what it means to be a college student. You cannot pass this class if you just do his practice material. You need to know all the material from the textbook readings as well. Tests are incredibly tough. You need to understand the WHY behind the concept instead knowing HOW to do the calculations.

Very nice guy, but very tricky when it comes to exams. Will tell you to learn one thing and test you on something different. Study everything if you take his class.

One of the hardest classes you will take at the b-school. He doesn't really explain things in class that will be on the test. READ the material and GO to office hours! If you do this you will pass.

I think overall he is a good guy and teaches well. A100 is hard if you've never taken college accounting before. Its either you get it or you dont. There's a lot of help available, so it shouldn't be that bad..

Waste of 50minutes twice a week. Doesn't teach what's on the exams so you pretty much should expect to take the class twice

Comment:

He iss a very nice person, very helpful if you go to his office hours. TA's know what they are doing and can help.If you actually want to pass, study and work on all the practice test he provides you before each exam. there's only 2 exams so study. They are hard, but if you study and understand how on transaction affects the other you will be good.

He's only teaching the first 8 weeks of Fall '08. Someone named V. Winston is teaching the second 8 weeks. Get your t-shirts that say " I passed A-100 with Tiller B**tch"

Comment:

This class is a weedout class. It was created by the KSB to find out which students do not belong in the KSB. In order to get a grade above a B+... you should 1) Read ( i know its a pain in the butt, but you have to inorder to get a good grade) you cannot just skim through the reading. also i STRONGLY suggest you go to his office hours(very helpful
