Comment:

No comparability between exams from semester to semester. Provides previous years exams as review material but theyre useless because current exams are entirely different. Will spend the entire time doing one thing then put on the exam something you barely covered. Frequently gets mad bc class doesnt remember something specific from acc 400/401.

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever taken. He doesn't help outside of class, just tells you that you're doing it wrong. Gives past exams to study for your exams but they are nothing like the exams. Homework is nothing like the exams either. I would avoid at all costs, but the other 402 Professor is just as bad. He is also very disrespectful when you ask ?s

Comment:

It is a difficult class, which was to be expected. He spent most of his time telling us how easy the material is and how it shouldn't be a problem. It was difficult and when I reached out for help, he said no. He is an okay teacher but don't ask for help, because he doesn't care.

Comment:

Tommy Moores was my professor for ACC 402/ What ever you do, DO NOT TAKE HIM! The book is only good for the homework because he never follows the book. If you do what the book says and not what he says, youll get a D on the exams. The worst experience at UNLV so far...

Comment:

If you enjoy PowerPoint lectures then look no further. Chapters are usually 40-50 pages. He just narrates the PowerPoint with mild explanations and rarely gives examples on the board (examples are in the notes). The lecture notes are available before hand via download and you fill them out in class. Speaks pretty fast. He encourages asking Qs

Comment:

The problem I had was the timing on exams. They were not long enough for my brain. I like to think and then double check my answers and there is no time for that on the exams nor on the final. I went into the final with an A and after the timing problems I had on the final, I ended with a B+. I don't feel like that was fair as I knew the material.

He's a fairly tough teacher, but he does prepare you if are interested in studying accounting. He can be kind of crazy at times, although he is a very good teacher. Final exam is easy compared to the normal exams

Comment:

He is extremely rude and degrading to his students. He thinks he is God and that all students are not worthy of his time. Do not bother asking him questions unless you're just reiterating what he said as he will either scoff at you or answer the question he thought you were asking. Tests are difficult and homework is outrageous. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

Dr. Moores is very helpful, if you ask questions that show you're listening and want to learn. He is not the typical professor, but is nice once you get to know him. I studied a lot, attended every class, went to office hrs when needed, emailed him ?'s and ended up with a B (I got probs wrong where I knew the correct answer-tests are high pressure)

Comment:

Tough but fair, unlike 401 there were no "tricks". His test are straight forward...you have to be a blue ribbon student for this class, preread the chapters, do all the homework (it helps alot), comb through the outlines (it helped GREATLY on the multiple choice and short answer), look at past exams...DONT MISS CLASS!

I recommend not missing any classes! Dr. Moores is very good at explaining things and his lectures/notes are great! The class isn't easy, but if you attend every class and put in the work, it will pay off. He can be inflexible sometimes, however as long as you follow his rules, you should do just fine. He's very good and helpful. I recommend him!

Comment:

To be honest and fair, Dr. Moores is not terrible like some students described. As a college student, we have to challenge ourselves to learn something out of each class. This is not a memorization class, you need to apply your knowledge and work things out. Push yourself and study smart if you want to make a profession out of accounting.

Comment:

Ok, i took this class last semester having a pre conceived notion in my mind that he is a hard professor. He is extremely helpful and explains pretty good, you need to 60percent average on exams to pass, study the past exams he gives you, they help a lot, i am not a smart student but i pulled an A in his class, just by focusing on the past exams

Comment:

Dr. Moores isn't as scary as some students (or he) would have you believe. He's a pretty cool guy and he knows his stuff. Make sure you go to EVERY class, I feel like I would have gotten lost very quickly if I hadn't. The class is hard, but definitely not impossible. Be prepared to spend a good chunk of time on this class.

Professor is extremely helpful and he is interested in our success. He takes the time to explain things and will even meet outside of class if you're having a hard time. I recommend him!

Comment:

His class was difficult, yet fair, as he gives you everything you need to succeed. You must really work hard at earning the grade you want (but then again F's come easy). There are no 'gimmes' in this class, but that is the way college should be. Greatly increased my ability to analyze transactions, as well as my general accounting knowledge.

Comment:

I took this class a year ago. This is probably the hardest class I have ever taken. You better be ready to work your butt off if you want an A. Allthough Moores is very difficult, this class being so difficult was one of the reasons I passed the financial reporting section of the CPA exam with a 93 my first time.

Very hard on grading exams and assignments.Be sure to double check your score because he always adds up wrong.Unfortunately,he's not willing to change your score even that's his mistake!!He does not help students to learn,but makes it harder for you to understand.He's not happy if you ask questions.Do not recommend him at all!

There is no doubt that this class is difficult. I am an "A" student and I worked hard in this class. I also realized the class greatly helped me prepare for the CPA exam and a future in accounting. Since the industry is not easy, why should the degree be? Ever notice that the negative comments are written by those who cannot write? Interesting

Comment:

Ok I agree with what the last 2 people said. McCaslin gives you partial credit on exams and gives you many assignments to get points. Moores grades WAY harder than McCaslin on tests and there is NO partial credit (although he says there is). All assignments are graded hard. He doesn't like when you ask questions; he doesn't help you if you ha
