Comment:

This is an extremely difficult class. You HAVE to know everything that was covered in the prerequisites (ACCT 2102, ACCT 2102, Micro & Macro Economics, Business Statistics) because he is going to reference them a lot. If you want to pass, have to spend hours putting in the work to study and TALK to him. He will help if he knows you are trying.

Comment:

This is the hardest class I have had in College of business. He gives 30 point curve on his test.I study very hard and still fail his test. He knows that this class is very hard therefore, going to his office to show him you are trying is vital.

Comment:

Teacher makes the class harder then what it should be. He is somewhat helpful, but what is needed to learn to pass the tests is not taught in class. He generally has to give a 30 point curve or higher in order to pass the majority of his class. This isn't right. If people need a curve to pass, then the teacher is a failure at his job.

Comment:

This guy is my advisor and is a complete jerk. First he made me go back and forth for documents I wouldn't need then acted all nasty when he registered me for my classes. If his personality reflects his teaching style then I suggest you don't take his class.

Comment:

Professor Dowling lacks real world knowledge. I suggest he leave the univesity and get a job and then try again.
