Comment:

Exams are super difficult but the professor knows exactly what he's talking about. The textbook is key for the course, complete readings before attending lectures as there will usually be a quiz. Not a super difficult professor if you're willing to put in the work.

Comment:

He is very confusing with his explanations. Also, a very heavy work load and during class instead of explaining the weekly assignments or the 5-7 video quizzes every week he talks about himself and is very confusing. do not take a class with him, its not worth it, his tests are nothing like what he teaches.

Comment:

He wastes a lot of time talking about himself in class. His exams are tough and stupid at the same time, because he doesn't know the limit of his students knowledge. So, he wastes much time in class and expect his students to be very knowledgeable. the last thing I remember is that you have to kiss his ass every time u see him to get good grade.

Good reputation but not good quality. He will test everything he knows but not what you as a student should know.

Excellent teacher. He really tries to get you to understand the topic, not just memorize it. The difficulty of the course seems to feel like exactly what a 3rd year university course should feel like. Challenging, but not impossible.

Bottom line, tough professor, tougher course. MUST put in the time and effort regardless of previous account knowledge. Failure rate of finance 1 and 2 was 50%+. BE READY.

Comment:

No mercy, these courses are supposed to prepare you for an accounting major, this felt as if I were already in one. Him and his courses are the reason I chose not to major in accounting. He does not care about his students, he will fail you. He's a soulless harpy some would say.

Does not listen to reason, if he thinks he is right, there is no way to persuade him to change his mind.

Comment:

Seeking help from him is like asking one of the three blind mice to lead a visually impaired. There is clear reciprocation between him and Beechy as the text is both outdated and irrelevant to course material taught. It is clear that the kick-backs are far more important than students getting a quality education.

Amazing teacher. Do not expect easy grade for this class. You really need to work and understand everything otherwise you will not make through this course with him. Be careful with midterms and exams, use common sense before answering the question.

Really makes you think about the material. Very tough, but fair if he knows you make the effort. Always come to his lectures, otherwise you'll miss important info.
