Comment:

Disliked the group discussion (social anxiety). In-class assignments memorization. TA was bad!! Prof bumped my assignment grades from a 70 average to a 90+ average when I asked if he could look them over. Studying isn't enough for exams, other assignments will bring up your grade. Class is more compsci & scm than accounting. Prof likeable.

Closed-note midterm+final, a few easy assignments, and quizzes. Points are awarded for attendance, class time is often wasted on group discussion. Show up to class and do the homework and you'll pass even if you bomb the exams (as many will). Quizzes and exams draw heavily from the book, and are unforgiving. Take the other guy if you can.

Comment:

Multiple peer discussion sessions per class. Lectures are pretty dull, but pay attention & take notes; although quizzes & exams are multiple choice they are extremely hard. He curves at semester end. Every class he says to read the textbook, but I didn't use it; lecture slides have the same material. It might be helpful if you're struggling though.

Comment:

Professor Munshi is nice and helpful. I guess I won't get a grade after this semester because this class is really hard. However, you will learn something by doing homework for SAP. Be ready to read a lot and attend class(class exercise). That's how struggle the accountancy major is so I won't have any complaint for this professor.

Comment:

This class is interesting. The SAP assignments gave me a better understanding of the accounting process. Tests and quizzes are difficult and require a good amount of reading and studying outside of class to do well. They are NOT open note, despite what another rating has said. You will do well if you put in the time and effort outside of class.

I took session A, he's a good professor, but the material is so hard! There are no open notes on exams. The exams are composed similarly to the quizzes(7) and always have a couple of choices that seem like the right answer, so you have to study.

Really responsible professor, this class is really really hard. There is no more open notes since this semester. However, i love this guy. He is energetic and respectful. He wants us to success. Lectures are tough and dry, prepare to spend a lot of time for reading.

I think this class is super interesting as an Accounting major. Class consists of what people really do out in the real world. He is a knowledgeable and a wise man. Great professor.

Great guy. The class is very boring, but he brings in a lot of energy and enthusiasm. The 2 exams are open note. I got an 82 and a 67 on the exams and still managed an A-. I did not study for the exams at all. If you study, an A or A+ is very attainable. There are free points everyday by doing the assignments. A few quizzes too (open note).

Has depth of knowledge, really passionate about his field. He focuses on the real life applications rather than book knowledge. Dont try to memorize, try understanding how ERP system works. He is a good professor but the course itself is hard. If you want to learn, take him, if you want easy A, then you need to rethink

Comment:

Don't bother studying the terms, the tests are all about application. For an inherently dry topic, he makes it as interesting as he can. He's a caring prof and very passionate about the subject. Show up and participate, and if you miss an assignment he will be understanding if something happens. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE TESTS!!

The material is pretty difficult to learn and the tests are conceptual so you need to completely understand the topics and apply them in scenarios. Use the end of the chapter tests to prepare for the exams & prepare in advance than you usually do, they are a bit difficult. Graded activities every meeting. Read the Book. Good prof, will round grade.

Great professor! Replaying email in short time, and having passion in his lecture. Class participation is necessary, projects can be a little bit time consuming, and tests are all hard. However, studying hard can let you still get good grades in this class. Highly recommend this professor!

Comment:

Course was somewhat difficult and dry. Prof Munshi seems like a nice guy but his lectures were long and boring--half of the time I felt like we were droning on the same topics every single day which felt easy. Then comes the exams (3) that were pretty difficult. Outside of that, there is an in-class activity every day and 4 easy case studies.

Comment:

Tough tests since there is so much material, but if you read through the book and know the topics on the study guide, you'll get a B. There is work every day in class, so you'll have to show up, but the in class assignments are very easy and boost your grade a lot. I got a C on 2 tests, a B on one, did all of the assignments and got a B. Used book.

Super nice guy, and very smart. Lectures can get pretty boring, and there is an In class assignment given every day that are very easy. Only about 4 homework assignments for the semester and then 3 very hard tests. Textbook is necessary. I highly recommend taking the practice tests he posts in his study guide and from the online book for his tests.

Come to class because you'll need to the notes and he also does in-class assignments that make up a huge portion of your grade. The exams are a little difficult because of how broad this topic is but it's doable.

Comment:

Very knowledgeable and is passionate about his material. Exams and the final especially are impossible, but as long as you do your homework and easy group projects you will do pass with at least a C even if you bomb the tests. In class homework is worth a good chunk of the grade, so expect to show up to most classes.
