Comment:

I don't think it's about being lazy since I spent hours every week to do homework. Consume most of my time than any other class I took and writing center said i write beautifully yet I got the worst grade. It's too bad that the school only offer 1 class and 1 teacher so you don't have a choice. If you drop the class you take it again with him.

Comment:

Gives essay homework every session. Textbook answer is not enough, prepare to always support your answer according to his standards. Participation is a must. Students leads the discussion not him, he was just an on observer. He barely say anything in the discussion but wants students to participate. Homework and exam is hard. Not for everybody.

Comment:

I've found that this class has been my favorite class thus far this semester. A lot of students complain because there is a paper due every class period, however if you're not lazy and put time and a little bit of energy into the course you'll be successful. I think he's a great professor. STOP BEING LAZY PEOPLE. Read your book.

Comment:

This course has the potential to be enjoyable, but the delivery and requirements are awful. There is an exorbitant amount of reading, which leaves little time for actually reflecting on the material. The reading seems more quantity over quality. Plan on spending your entire weekend preparing for class if you try to read everything assigned.

Comment:

The class was really instructive as a whole but the teacher loaded us with a lot of assignments each week. It was like students have nothing else to do besides reading and doing homeworks. We had one mid-term exam And one final.

Comment:

This professor is horrible. He puts a different student in charge of every class period and just sits there while the students lead the class. If someone has a question, he expects other students to answer, he won't. His attitude is awful and he thinks he is smarter than he actually is. You will be teaching yourself if you take his class.

Comment:

Crosser was awesome. Not sure why he gets so many bad reviews here. If you are not ready to work and be engaged then I can see why you would not like him. But, if you work hard and take it seriously then it should be a enjoyable class. Wrote a ton of papers. Maybe over 100 pages. But, I got a lot out of the class and it was worth it.

Comment:

Dr. Crosser is a master who loves ethics. He works harder than we do, and we work hard. Expects you to be able to read, write, and think so some students don't like him. I'm reasonably smart so he is the best.

Comment:

The worst teacher ever. Took his online class. Rarely answered any emails and when he did answer, just told me ?good luck?. Did not answer my question. Disappeared the last 3 weeks of class. Way too much homework and he thinks you should be an expert already. Take the class with someone else. He has no clue what teaching is.

Comment:

This teacher is horrible. He gives out way too much homework; there is not enough time to grasp the concepts. The burn out is high. He is a Dr of Accounting so he has no concept that this is a class for learning, not one that we already know the material. Do not take a class with him.

Comment:

Horrible, ignores emails, tests are confusing and don't go along with the text, old assignment materials...should I go on? He needs to be removed from his position because he could care less about the students are their education. I've interned before at an accounting firm, and he's not even close to what the tax accounting field is about.

Horrible teacher! I had his online class. When I asked for help, (many times) he either ignored me or told me to read my text. I HAD a 3.8. Thanks for nothing!

Previous comments are right on. You will need to spend about 20 hrs per week outside of class in order to get an A.

Comment:

solid teacher, does pile on homework, you need to spend time and keep up or you are doomed, but it's that kind of subject. but if you put forth the effort, and it's a lot of work, he will help you succeed. NOT a fluff class.

Comment:

He piles on the Homework. Lots of tests, and daily quizes. To do well in his class don't have a job. You will need at least 20 hours per week of studying and class time to get an A. He has his Phd and has forgoten what it is like to be a student and have a full time job. He's hard.
