Comment:

This class was extremely unhelpful. We were supposed to read the text book and then instead of teaching he just spends class going around the room and asking everyone a question. Midterm and Final were open note though and he took us out to L'Albatros twice. He is a funny guy, just not a great professor.

Comment:

Reading every night; "discussion" is him going around the room one by one asking students questions from the reading. He's going deaf, so those in the back have to shout. Grading unclear; several errors in the midterm grading (he gave points back as needed). Homework from a (busywork-like) workbook - lots of it, but graded only for completion.

He is very passionate about accounting, which makes him a good teacher! His lectures/questions can be inspirational when you read before class and know what he's talking about.

Comment:

Professor Blazey was extremely helpful in class when you ask questions. For participation, he asks everybody one question every day which kept me engaged and interested. I found his examples useful and he took groups of his students out for lunch which was awesome because he talked about his life as an accountant and not accounting 101.

Comment:

Professor Blazey is funny guy, but teaching is not his forte. Going to class is pointless, but you should show up to earn participation points. His method of teaching is going around the room and asking questions about the chapter. If you read the textbook like he tells you tell, it is guaranteed A.

Teaches by asking questions about the textbook. Going to class is pointless. Learning only results from reading the textbook.

Will not teach you anything in class. Have to read from the book to learn the material. He even says this in class, going to class is useless unless its him telling you to read the book to learn the material.

Comment:

Intro to Financial Accounting was a difficult class because it seemed like everyone knew the material except for me. Blazey is a good prof, and I appreciated that he values the concept of open-note tests... :)

Attending class is useless besides not missing any pop quizzes he gives. He teaches straight from the book.

Funny guy! He's always willing to help outside of class, and definitely make him take you to lunch! Lots of outside experience which makes class a LOT more interesting and fun. Get him off track with stories from Arthur Anderson. :-)

Great professor. Makes a not so interesting subject fun and pleasant to learn. Always there to offer help, and encourages students to meet with him outside of class. Must read the book to gain in depth understanding of the topic. Great sense of humor.

He's a funny guy and makes the lectures interesting. While you will have to read the book in order to know all the details and the harder topics, he does a very good job teaching. Since he has experience in the field, he has a really good handle on the material which helps you learn a alot better.

Comment:

Makes lecture fun, but mostly by going off topic, or telling stories. You'll probably have to read the book, but not too hard to get an 'A'. He genuinely seems to want everyone to do well.

Decent at explaining topics, but will have to learn the more diffucult topics from the book. Tells a lot of stories. Easy to get a B.
