Comment:

This dude just sucks. Students will ask a question and he will yell at them for not knowing the answer to that question. He knows everything about accounting, and expects you toknow just as much (even though we havent done research on it for 60+ years).Quizzes are impossible and tests are just above that. He really tests you as an accounting major

Comment:

Have to take him as accounting major. By far hardest teacher I ever had. He is ultra specific on quizzes and tests. Go to his office hours and tutors (he asks who goes to the tutors) to get on his good side. He will for sure pass you if you do. I am a straight A student and got a B- so prepare for not the best grade. Do exactly what he says!

Comment:

His lectures are the priority and you have to fill in the gaps with the textbook. You have to use his EXACT terminology on quizzes, tests and when he calls on you in class (RIP). You literally have to hang on to his every word in class which is difficult. At the end of the day its a miserable semester and youll realize why Cs get degrees.

Comment:

One of the hardest professors I've ever had, but if you want to learn Accounting, take him. If you're not an Accounting major, you should probably avoid him. Bland, boring, and a hard grader. Test and quizzes are unreasonably hard and there is no curve. Requires hard work, but you will learn accounting. He doesn't mind failing people either

Comment:

Dr Bloom's class (AC304) is one of the hardest classes i've ever taken. He is a good teacher and knows what he's talking about. Do your homework, learn the material and go visit him in his office hours. He wants to help those who want help.

Comment:

I am so disgusted in John Carroll for having this awful man teach here. He embarrasses, humiliates, and degrades his students constantly. You sit in his class to get bullied by him everyday. There are horrendous reviews on here that date back to 2003 about this man and JCU still doesnt get it?

Comment:

Dr. Blooms class has many students drop out every semester he teacher. He is know for being a hard grader. He assigns homework every night and has harder tests than every other accounting teacher. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The only reason to take this class is if you want to go crazy or you are amazing at accounting and want to test yourself.

Comment:

Dr. Bloom is one of the hardest teachers I've ever had. However, I respect the hell out of him. He makes you prove yourself and rightfully so because he is so good at his field. You'll hate him during class but love him afterwords because he makes you better. Genuinely wants you to succeed but you have to 150% really work for it. Nice guy.

Comment:

Dr. Bloom is extremely tough but he is definitely worth the time and effort. Many Carroll grads have mentioned that having Dr. Bloom has helped them pass the CPA exam so much easier because of his teaching. Attend both sections for Bloom and participate as much as you can and you will be fine. Just put in the work and have a good mindset!

Comment:

The reason John Carroll's accounting program is impressive as it is. Dr. Bloom is brilliant and knows everything there is about accounting, which is why he expects the same from you. Go to his office hours outside of class, show that you're willing to work hard and participate in class and he will pass you. Very difficult, but you learn a lot.

Dr. Bloom is an amazing professor. However, his class is difficult and will take up your free time. I took him for AC201, and it allowed me to easily coast through my next two accounting classes with an A.

Dr. Bloom is by far the worst teacher I have ever had. Extremely demanding and rude. No people skills whatsoever. Glad I switched majors and schools.

Probably the best professor I have ever had! He is life changing and now accounting is my world! Take him if you have the chance. He is excellent and makes students reach their full potential. He is very helpful in class and with all assignments. He always gives excellent feedback. Always use a pencil too!!

Comment:

This guy CANNOT teach, he will never teach you the materials, you have to read the book, try to understand the concepts, and then when you are in the class, the way he teaches is by asking questions, and he expects everyone to know the exactly answer, otherwise he will show his disappointment in you. Wish there is another teacher teach 304

Comment:

He is very blunt and does not try to hide his disappointment when you are incorrect. It is very hard, but if you do the readings and work before class and use the study guide before exams, it's not impossible. I regularly studied at least 15 hours before even quizzes so be prepared to buckle down and dedicate your life if you're an AC major

Comment:

304 is not easy by any means. The best way to pass is to get on Dr. Bloom's good side by participating in class. The only way to do this is to do some reading and talk to him outside of class.

Hardest class I've ever taken. Go to his office hours and work with other people to clarify material. Good luck.
