Great teacher for accounting portion but not too great for finance. Tough tests compared to other teachers but if you show that you care he will help you out.

Levy is the man. Take the time to get to know him. he is not on campus in the spring any more, but he really knows his stuff. he understands that not everybody is an accounting major, but if you are, get to know him! He is awesome!! take him because he makes the lectures fun, and will really twist your brain if you ask good questions!!

Comment:

Fairly tough, but most GB112s are because they are packed with info. They all have tons of homework to do every class. Levy will curve your grade at the end if you progressively did better each time you took an exam. He is a pretty good teacher, but skirts around questions if he feels he cannot answer them (if they are about the exam or whatnot)

Comment:

He is the best professor I had my freshman year. He is so helpful and always there for his students. He doesn't believe in the standardized powerpoints and he makes his own tests, but you learn so much from being in his class. No GB112 class is going to be an easy 4.0, but Levy helps you do your best

FAVORITE professor. Goes out of his way to make class interesting and will explain anything. Always prepared with real life examples. Class is very difficult, but so are all GB112s; he'll prepare you the best. Same course work as other GB112s. Definitely recommend.

WORST PROFESSOR, is not interested in helping you at all, just in teaching his class. His hand-witting is INCOMPREHENSIBLE! Isn't really nice at all. Explains well...

Comment:

Levy was great. He's not the easiest prof you could have for 202 but you definitely learn more from him than any of the other profs. you have to go to class and there are quizzes pretty much everyday but if you read the materials they're not hard at all. tests arent bad- covers everything you need to know for them. take him!

Comment:

Professor Levy is the best Professor I have had at Bentley. He gets a bad rep because most people at Bentley are lazy and only like easy professors, but I learned so much in this course, and because I did what was expected, I got a 4.0. Regardless of my grade though, I don't think I learned as much in any other course here so I'm glad I took him!

Comment:

Probably the best teacher I've had at Bentley. He loves what he teaches and gets really excited about it. Tests and projects can be tough, but are fine if you pay attention and keep up with the reading. Take him if you actually want to learn something.

Comment:

If you want to learn alot about accounting, than this is the class for you. If not - stay away! Levy teaches extremly fast and if you cant follow then tough. Projects are graded really tough - have to study alot to do well on tests (kinda tricky). There are better teachers elsewhere.

Comment:

He really knows what he is talking about and is very passionate about it-- however, he has a tendency of assuming that the class automatically knows what he is talking about. His writing on the board also looks like chicken scratch. But he is very reasonable and it is good to see a professor who knows what they are talking about.

Comment:

Levy is such a good teacher! He really helps you understand the material (so much better than students taught by other prof's). If you go to office hours, he'll even give you like your own one-on-one tutoring session. He's def not easy, but I wouldn't say he's unfair either. He makes you do the work and learn.

Comment:

Well when you take the head of the accounting dept, you are bound to have a hard class. If you are not an act major, stay away he hates everyone. Miserable guy who is unhelpful and is not available for help. Worst prof+class at Bentley College and im just glad i never have to see him or accounting again!!

Ok, this guy is miserable, I learned a lot, but I still only got a 1.3. Basically, you learn but the tests are just extremely difficult. He even says, you can do all the home work, understand everything, and you still might not pass my exam. Well friends, he was not lying.

Great Professor. Knows the material cold, very clear & concise. Moderately challenging grader, but he's fair. If you work hard in this class you'll be OK & learn a ton; if you're looking for an easy 'A' look elsewhere

Comment:

Really hard grader. He teaches extremely well (course coordinator for all of GB201), but his tests make it so hard that altho you know more than peers, your grade does not reflect it. Pretty nice guy if you meet after class, but ZERO slack with dates, assignments, etc. Recommend if you want to work hard but learn a lot.

He's very intense but a great teacher! He cares about the material and wants you to do well. Go to class, do your homework and put some effort and you should get a good grade.
