Comment:

Professor Wallace is a great professor. He's a nice guy and genuinely is willing to help you when you need it. He always answers questions (both in class and via email) and is always willing to help. You have to read the book cause he tests over material not taught in class, but as long as you put in the work, it's an easy A. Would take again!

I took his class online, and he made it a self-paced course. He gave all the assignments on day 1 so you can knock it out pretty quickly or pace yourself however you choose. If I had any questions, all I had to do was email him. You might have to do your own research to understand the material, but I found the class fairly easy to handle.

I took this class online. Finished it the first month. If you don't understand anything email him, use the free tutorlab, search the concepts on youtube. no final exam or midterm. theres an exam for each chapter, instead of being tested over multiple chapters at once like most other classes. I loved it this way. good luck. offers extra credit.

Comment:

I enjoyed Prof Wallace's class. He teaches in a straightforward manner and encourages questions. The material takes practice, but he does good examples in class. There is some opportunity for extra credit. Just be sure to familiarize yourself with the vocabulary from the book before the quizzes--he doesn't always talk about the vocab in class.

Comment:

This was definitely the best way to take accounting. There's a lot of assignments, but you can take them whenever you want to so it's manageable. The homework questions were the hardest part because most of it was fill in the blank, but you have 3 tries to get it right. Tests and quizzes were all multiple choice.

Comment:

I took this class online. The course was on pearson mastering. So the professor did not even lecture or give powerpoints. I felt like it was self taught and I had to search for information in the textbook. The textbook was not very helpful. I just wish the professor had given powerpoints or something to explain and narrow down the topics.

Comment:

Very intelligent professor with many degrees. Gives many real world examples in his lectures. There are 4 exams and 1 final (all multiple choice) You can skip an exam and the final will replace it. All of the homework is online and there are online and in class quizzes. This is TOUGH material and requires hours of studying but I learned A LOT!

Comment:

If any foreign student had not taken accounting class before in high school and still having problem to understand English language, then skip his class. He might be good for native students here in US, or Texas, but not good for foreign students for basic accounting course for the first time. Thank you.

Comment:

I learned quickly that self-paced classes are not for me, but I still managed. I suggest following the calendar he provides. Otherwise, the class isn't hard. Read the book and it's pretty easy. The project isn't hard. Because of my procrastination, I did about 75% of the course in 2 weeks. I don't suggest this though!

Comment:

I took the class online. The course is self-paced and it was easy for me. Read and do the study plan because it helps a lot. It might take more time but it'll be worth it when you take the exams. I actually finished the course a few weeks early, with the exception of a project at the end of the semester (which isn't bad at all).

Comment:

I took him for lecture. He is a nice guy but his class is very inconsistent. He doesnt go over all of the material presented on the exams, making them very hard, mostly everyone in my class either made a D or C on the tests, we all struggled. if you take him in lecture be prepared to work your butt off. I would recommend taking him online instead.

Comment:

I took ACCT 2301 in the fall of 2016. Prof Wallace lectures for over an hour and a half on days that you don't have quizzes, which is every other class period. Online homework is nothing like the tests, so it doesn't help much. His tests include information that he will specifically state in class will NOT be on there. You must study EVERYTHING.

Comment:

Online class is self-paced so that is nice. I got the entire class done in 2 weeks when it was supposed to be a 10 week class. Such a boring subject, but if you have to do it, I would take it with Wallace. One big project at the end and he doesn't tell you what you got so you hold your breath until final grades are posted. Easy A if you work for it

Comment:

I took the online class. It is not an easy subject so why would one expect it to be an easy class? I worked hard, turned in all assignments/quizes and tests on time. Followed all of his instructions in the final project (took almost 12 hours alone on this!). I got an A and felt like I earned it! I will try to take the next acctg class from him.

Comment:

Very old school man. Do not expect him to go out of his way at all to make the class easier or for him to help you. Accounting is a tough subject as is and this professor fails to make it any easier. Tests are hard and the final does not replace the lowest grade. Most people fail the quizzes too. I would strongly recommend another professor.

I took this course online. It was a self paced course with 11 tests, 11 exams, and 11 homework assignments. Class was really easy for me to understand. There was a final project at the end but it was not that hard. This has been one of my favorite classes.

Comment:

Professor Wallace is an amazing professor. His course was self-paced and I finished it in the first two weeks of the semester. I advise writing down all homework questions, because they will help you on all tests. He responds to emails in a timely manner as well.
