Comment:

Very much had to teach myself in this class. Hes kind of all over the place in his teaching method and although the PowerPoints are online, he rarely uses them. He teaches by doing the exercises from the textbook that you will have to do yourself anyways and as someone whos never taken an accounting class before, I found it difficult to follow

He is a really great prof, he makes the lecture interesting! One class is theory and the next class is him doing exercises. He explains the concept pretty well. Recommend taking his class.

Comment:

He is only good at making the class entertaining and making a 3 hour class into just 1. He is not a good educator and one who rushes the teaching. Hard to understand not clear. He does not care about his student told me not to contact him after his unhelpful reply. I would avoid him.

He is an amazing professor. He tells really good jokes and conveys the subject matter effectively. Attending class and going to the DGD's as well as working on the problems will give you an easy A. Take the course with him!!

Very funny guy. There's only a midterm and final exam for his classes so be aware that that's what you're working towards. He goes over LOTS of examples in class. Make sure to read the chapters before class. Overall good prof and he really likes the Royal Oak.

heavy first year class, lots of reading and do the recommended exercises if you want to considering passing. midterm 40% and final worth 60%. lots of work needs to be put into this class and for the love of god learn the ratios as you get them bc chapter 14 is hard to memorize in 1 week

One class he teaches the theory and the other he does exercices. So I found that very helpful. He tells you what kind of questions he would put in the exams too

Great prof! He really knows what he's doing. He tries to make the class engaged by making students answer questions, and it helps! Multiple choice for an accounting exam is terrible though; it will really make second year accounting hard. Even if you took accounting in high school, do the textbook questions and you'll pass the class with an A+

This man is probably the best teacher I ever had. He keeps his class engaged and makes them all participate. His lectures are clear and he teaches them effectively. His jokes are actually really funny as well for a professor. Would definitely take another course with him if available. And 100% recommend him any day.

Humorous and approachable. He would prompt questions for students to engage in class discussions to have a better understanding of the material covered. Sometimes I do miss what he said during lecture he welcome questions after class.

Great teacher, cracks jokes as he teaches. Does not just spit out material actually teaches and engages the class by asking students questions, for accounting I found his teaching methods essential for the class. Would highly reccomend for business students espescially

Comment:

If you read your textbook prior to class you'll do really well however, this is coming from someone who already took accounting in highschool. I felt like he didn't really go over the basics with debit and credit but overall he's a very good prof and wants you to do well. His midterm and exam were both very easy if you studied.

Comment:

Great teacher. Has a bit of humour added to lectures and actually engages students through questions. I failed his class the first time around but I could have easily put in a few more hours of effort and done fine. I am retaking the course with him as my professor again just because I did enjoy his teacher so much.
