Comment:

Very intelligent teacher with valuable knowledge of business and the real world. If you show up to class, read the chapter summaries, and do the homework; you will be fine. But, if you find yourself disliking Professor McCormack, it is probably because your either lazy or an ignorant socialist millennial. Btw, I had him for Business Law 2.

Comment:

This mans lectures literally teach you nothing. He just talks and talks and talks throughout the class and barely goes over anything. You need to read what you have to in order to even somewhat understand. The tests have some stuff of what youre reading here and there but they barely make sense. His grading system is not like any other teachers.

Comment:

All of your grades are based on your test scores. He has zero blackboard presence. There are no outlines for the tests. There are no PowerPoint slides. His lectures are unclear and confusing. When you ask a question his response is totally unrelated to the topic. Has given tests that were 3 classes apart. Teaching style is way outdated.

He is a great teacher and has a lot of good stories, but does make you work for it. If you arent going to pay attention in class or do the reading youll have a hard time with his classes. I had him for 4 classes over a span of 15 years and really enjoyed all of them.

Comment:

Absolute worst teacher I have ever had. Should not be allowed to teach. All he does every class is talk and ramble about the most meaningless stuff that has nothing to do with the class. He tells you you must read the textbook to pass and you will spend HOURS reading the whole textbook to try to figure out what is going on. Test are impossible.

Comment:

I honestly thought he was cool and was well experienced. You cannot just sit there and listen you need to take notes, write definitions from the book and highlight, no accounting class is easy. He lets you use your notes during the exams so thats why I am saying take organized notes. I took him for both act 1 and act2, act is def more difficult

Spent most of the class time rambling about random anecdotes or opinions, barely about the subject material that would help us succeed, exams every 2 weeks if not more frequently, sometimes exams a week or half a week apart, not much time to learn new material.

Don't do this to yourself. The only grades he uses are the tests and they (just like him) don't make any sense. If you fail one then that's it you're down to at best a C. Most of the class had dropped out by mid-semester.

This professor rambles on about random topics that makes you more confused than ever before. He grades on a curve so you can fail every test and still pass because everyone else fails too. Just do the project and homework (which is due on test day) and you will be fine

Comment:

Awful. I was so excited for accounting class and he ruined it for me. He does not teach good at all, he rambles about nothing. If you want to learn you have to teach yourself. Luckily I had good notes from high school. His exams are horrible, since he does not teach. The class stressed me out and gave me a headache. This was absolutely horrible.

Comment:

Would not recommend this teacher. He doesn't actually teach you anything just rambles on about random stuff like football. He gives you a bunch of homework assignments that he doesn't check. When asked a question he rambles on for 20 minutes and never fully answers your questions. Only take if you wanna sit there banging your head on your desk.

Assigns a lot of homework but doesn't check it. Lectures are confusing and he rambles a lot, but its an easy A if you read the book.

Worst teacher i ever had! He rambles on about any and everything. Never stays on topic you'll be so confused about everything. Assigns assignments but never helps you understand it before he goes on rambling about something else. If you want to get you're business degree do not pick him as a teacher!

If you want to have a good laugh and you love NFL Football, then this class is for YOU! He always rambles the most random things and his favorite catchphrase is " You have TO DO IT!!" The textbook is your best friend and he sidetracks all the time. I rather watch Dora the Explorer in French than to take this class again. The boul rarely teaches.

I didn't understand Mccormack's teaching style in the first few weeks. but as time goes on, you will realize you HAVE TO DO HOMEWORKS from his class. I guarantee you will not fail if you do homework. he will make sure you pass the class if you put effort to it. and he always gave some extra credit in the test, and tests always are open notes.

You will learn more about Chip Kelly's offensive line run scheme than accounting in this class. Does not explain any of the material or teach for that matter. If attendance wasnt mandatory, i doubt anyone would show up. When asked to clarify a definition in class, Mr. McCormack walked to the student and read the definition straight out of the book

Mr. McCormack was not a good teacher. He gets off topic so easily and all the time, you cant understand his lectures and he phrases his test questions in the worst way, you end up getting the questions wrong just because of the phrasing. You dont have to do the homework and the book teaches it better then him. Would not take again.
