Comment:

Davis is way too smart to be teaching basic accounting. When you ask a question, he tells you to read the book. I went to the tutoring center to ask questions about the homework and even they couldn't help me. 85% of your grade is exams but they are nearly impossible. This is the hardest class I've ever taken.

Comment:

This class is the toughest I have taken. The Apple Blossom project will consume any time you may have. Tests are very difficult, study alot. Graded materials are tough to decipher what you got wrong with random green lines through things. Advice: Never use pen, only use a 1" binder for Apple Blossom, work with a group, and stick the course out.

Comment:

Dr. Davis gets an unfair reputation from many students because he is a tough teacher that expects his students to be prepared. He is easy to talk to outside of class. As long as you read, do homework, and study for exams you can succeed in his class. Many of the reviews that are negative come from students who are lazy and just don't want to work

Comment:

Dr. Davis' exams are not meant to prepare you/learn the material. They are meant to make you fail because his grading policy is unclear, different grading on each problem, and all over the place, hard to understand. He is just simply not nice in class, and EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE EVEN TEACHING THE LESSON. Awful professor. Hate him.

Comment:

I'll be honest, I didn't like Dr. Davis when I took his class. I graduated this past May, and I can't emphasize how happy I am to have taken his class. I struggled, but I absolutely am prepared for my job. In the end, stick it out, grow up, and if you can't hack it, change majors. Accounting at Canisius is hard, but you will have a job.

Comment:

Dr. Davis is an extremely intelligent man. His class is a lot of work, but he really prepares you for the rest of your accounting classes at Canisius. He is a very nice man and is willing to help any student if that student shows he/she is making an effort to do well. Dr. Davis is well respected

Comment:

Dr. Davis is the best professor ever. He has a great sense of humor and is very friendly in class. His exams are really easy so I would recommend studying for 15min before class. He rarely assigns homework. He expects you to show up to class on time or else you have to say sorry. I wish he taught all my classes he is the best. #bless #besteve

Comment:

Toughest course I have ever taken. You will spend 15+ hours a week chipping away at the course long project, which at the beginning and end will require 30+ hours. Overall the course is very challenging, but not impossible - you can succeed and doing so is very rewarding. Will set you up nicely for the CPA exam material.

If you arent smart do not expect to pass the class. Only 5 of us got above a B. Started with 100 students in accounting and after his class 23 were left. His tests are hard and you better know what youre doing. He knows what he is talking about and has high expectations. Canisius' ACC program is top in country and this is why. Definetaly respecthim

Better off just taking 211 in the spring and 212 in the summer. Save yourself from his ridiculous expectations, he's not a good professor.

He's an intimidating guy, his class is hard, but I respect him. Homework and reading are a must, but the homework is so much easier than the work given on the tests.

Tough class. Tough Exams. Fast lectures. Really hard to pass. This makes or breaks you for accounting. Lots of students changed majors after this class. Even if you take the class with Gress, just as tough of a class. It only will get worse. Be prepared to struggle for staying in the accounting program. Definitely buy the textbook and read!

Dr Davis knows what he is talking abt & his class is actually not bad to attend. Dry humor, but funny @ times. Outside work for audit is insane. If you have a full-time job forget abt it, you will have a full time job when you get home too & its your prob, not his. Grad students also get extra papers. Final Project grading is pretty unfair.

Your goal going into this class needs to be to LEARN. If your aim is to just get by then you're lucky if you pass. Davis is a great teacher in that he teaches you real world applications. If something is unclear and you're afraid to visit him at his office that's your own fault. As others have said, he's incredibly approachable. I got a B-

Homework and lecture notes didn't prepare you well enough for the exams that counted 90% of your grade. Felt confident on the second test and got the same result as I did on the first, a 40.

Comment:

If you enjoy being told how dumb you are then this is the class for you. Apple Blossom is the biggest joke, he takes off 1 pt for missing a tick mark, as such. He does not teach anything and you could put a monkey in place of him and learn more. He laughs at the amount of work he assigns and thinks it is fun to demoralize students.

Not meant to be an easy class...but Davis will make you do the work and in turn your going to learn a lot despite most likely not getting an A...prepares you well for the rest of the accounting courses at Canisius

Comment:

Gave a zero if you didn't get 60% on the final apple blossom case. Gave a zero for MBA assignments and homework if you didn't get 60% for the semester. Gave a zero if you didn't do assignments his way, without telling you, so gave a zero for not reading his mind. Gave a zero for using pen, staples, short-hand, having a bad day, as such, etc. etc.
