Comment:

He is a really nice guy and really willing to help, but he's just not a great lecturer/teacher. Class will bore you out of your mind, I mean it is tax, but all he does is read from the powerpoint. One of the only reasons I got a good grade is because of help from the TA. They are going to completely revamp the course soon, so maybe wait to take it.

Comment:

His tests are heavily conceptual and difficult but the course is difficult by nature. Quizzes have unlimited tries and in class assignments are graded based on effort, which makes it a great learning tool. Hard to get an A or even an A-, but a solid B is definitely possible.

Comment:

Dr. Grange is very intelligent and is a well respected financial planner. He wants his students to succeed which is why his course is so difficult. Listen closely, because he has really dry humor. Make sure to read the book and go to office hours.

Comment:

Dr. Grange is a fantastic teacher and has been called "the best of the best" when it comes to what he does. The class is, by nature, extremely difficult. He is very clear about that from the beginning, and does all in his power to help you succeed. Try to take the class when you can guarantee serious study time and avoid the 7-week version.

Comment:

Vance is a good guy. He tries to help students out. The tests are tough, but do the practice tests and the problems from the back of the book and you'll do fine. The other people complaining are just used to being spoon fed everything without having to put any effort in.

Comment:

Professor Grange was AMAZING. Hardest class I've ever taken, but definitely the one I remember the most from. Tests are extremely difficult and if you want an easy A, this is not the class for you. The class seems relatively easy and straightforward, but that is not really the case. Take advantage of office hours-it will make a world of difference!

Comment:

Vance makes it seem easy when he lectures, but you are totally unprepared for the test unless you thoroughly read the book. And, with the way he teaches this class, they should make the income tax class a prerequisite. If you don't understand income tax really well, it will be hard to get above a B in this class, no matter how much you study.

Comment:

I thought this class was effing hard. Hes one of those old school professors who wants you to really learn. 4 months later I've recovered enough to write this review. I think he is one of the most knowledgeable dudes on campus and he wants his students to be prepared. He has become like a mentor to me and a good friend.

Comment:

This class is incredibly difficult. Dr. Grange was available during his office hours to assist with homework problems and explain things, so take advantage of that. Lecture is typically straight off the powerpoint, but don't think that it's a good reason to skip class. He curves at the end of the semester.

Comment:

The class does have a ridiculous amount of homework and study to do, he states that the first day. He is unapologetic for that because he feels anything less would cheapen the education. He is a very nice guy though, and is great at teaching the material. Just be prepared to work.

Comment:

He is a very good lecturer, but his homework and tests are very difficult. He does consulting work in addition to teaching, so he is impossible to reach if you have questions or need help. He is very nice and helpful if you can catch him, but good luck!
