Comment:

Most amazing professor ever. Took his course back in 2013 and he is the only Professor who could make a winter early morning class reading financial statements interesting. His class is a lot of work but if you manage your time well you will do well in his class and learn a lot from it.

Excellent professor. He can be a little bit unclear at times, and definitely expects you to keep up with the work, but overall he definitely cares about teaching his students what they need to know about practical accounting to get along in the business world. Definitely would take him again

He is extremely helpful and cares about his students. The fact that he writes the exams helps a lot. I would recommend him to anyone. His class takes a bit of work, but it pays off.

Comment:

He makes it so easy to zone out on him, he just kind of dwells on a single PPT slide for like 30 minutes. His exams are very tough and were the most stressful of all my classes by far. If you gotta take him, ok. But if you can avoid him, you should.

He is the worst prof ever!AVOID!! The mid-term was so hard, not only was it hard it was also written with such poor english - just made everything worst. He isn't good at all, he may be smart with all the phd and CA stuff. But when it comes to teaching it doesn't click with him.

Comment:

Real word? Lives in his little word where he is the best-the most intelligent & all-mighty. Selfish and so in love with himself -deliberately lowers the marks of A-students show himself off. Has definitely a complex of inferiority, which he covers up with ridiculous exams. Preferred Concordia CA school over McGill cuase couldnt stand him!!

Comment:

Fortin is one of the best profs I've ever had. He's a cheerful man who presents difficult information in a clear context. He gets you excited about the material and the class is fun. The exams are hard and there is a big time-constraint, but Fortin is very fair and will appreciate the hard work you put in. Helpful and considerate.

Most boring class you will ever sit through, and then the material you studied doesn't even show up on the exam
