Book is used and Professor is helpful. Very accommodating. and provides many opportunities for extra credit. The trick is to do all homework assignments and attend all classes. Professor does give power points out that contain a lot of notes and exercises. Accounting is not an easy class at any level and you have to make an effort to pass.

He has a lot of extra credit to help your grade out. Honestly the people who dont pass his class its because they dont try. I would recommend him over any acc prof. in GGC.

Professor Kooti is a nice guy and is very knowledgeable. However, his teaching methods are not really good. He flew by the lectures, the homework assignments (which were required) kicked it up a notch ant the tests required a lot of detail. If you are taking his class, be ready to spent a lot of your own time trying to understand the concepts.

Every test has a curve because his test are impossible. He give you notes to fill out but homework on connect is completely different from the test. He makes it where you have to depend on the final but the final is way different from everything you studied from his notes and homework. Majority of the class will fail

He's the worst professor I have taken in my life! All the comments below about him are true. I'm an A student never gotten a C. His exams are hard. He does not help instead tells you to study. Do not take him!

GGC has too many easy professors & people become lazy. He is a great professor & makes sure you actually learn. Barely got an A but I didn't study too much. Ran out of time on exams but if I had studied more I am sure I would have been faster. Lectures are fast-paced but compensated by fill in the blank notes. Enjoyed the class. Good sense of humor

Pay attention or you WON'T pass. My summer class was 100% online due to COVID & all lectures were recorded, which was LIFESAVING. Bc you can replay videos as much as needed. GREAT professor, very accessible, he'll explain anything you get wrong to help you understand & will answer ALL ?'s. Had Connect HW & Quiz every week, exam every other week

I don't understand how Professor Kooti has bad ratings!!! This is my second degree and he is the best professor I have ever had. He actually explains things in a way that makes sense, gives us soooo many study tips and tricks to actually remember this difficult material. Because of him, I love accounting and remember everything from intro.

His online class was pretty nice -- he had a bunch of videos made for us to watch and even made notes for us to where we just fill in the blanks. I learned how to read a balance sheet and understood the statement of cash flow -- so now the company documents I see on yahoo finance makes sense to me. Very nice.

Regret taking his class. All he does is lecture all class with a PowerPoint and fill in the blank notes. He talk so much and very fast. He gives out homework and quizzes but literally does not put in any grades in the very end which is irritating cause we have to wait to know our final grade. His test are hard which is why he gives extra credit

This is the worst professor ive ever had. He doesnt put your grades until the end so throughout the semester you dont know where your grade stands. All he does is go over a powerpoint and talk. Its a rigorous course and he doesnt help with that.

Worst Professor i've had here at ggc, they way he tries to teach the lessons is horrible and not very helpful. The homework is almost nothing like the lectures and the quizzes are worse. The test are nothing like the lectures they are extremely hard which is why he adds a curve to them! Do not recommend him unless you wanna stress and struggle.

He's really nice & you can tell that he's knowledgeable but it doesn't help when you're only graded by exams. There isn't any homework so you don't realize whether you understand a concept or not until it's too late. I asked for help b/c I had a full course load & didn't feel supported as a student but he suggested I make assignments to study...

Prof. K had clear lectures and provided fill in the blank notes to identify key points. The class was set up so you had to watch the recorded lectures before coming to class. Time on-campus was used to answer questions and provide more details, as well as go through example problems. Only exams + professionalism make up your grade, so study!!

Never in my life have I come close to tearing up during an exam, but this guy takes the cake for me. We had to do video lectures and then come into class and apply what we learned. The lectures are boring, the exams are stupid hard, at least there's a curve though. There are only 4 grades, 3 exams (90%), and "professionalism" (10%).

Prof. Kooti VALUES your participation. Set up times to meet with him. He will show you where you went wrong and walk you through any questions you have. If you put in minimal effort and don't participate in the optional assignments you WILL struggle. My only feedback for this course is it is 100% self taught through connect no pre- recorded videos

This is the second time I've taken him thinking that he would be better in this class, nope. He has homework that's due every week which are strictly based on the book. They take hours to do and he didn't reach out to us once the entire summer semester to help us in any way. The students had to teach themselves everything in the course with no help

Professor Kooti is amazing! I took him in Spring 2024 and had lectures once a week. His videos are extremely helpful, and his lectures in class also reinforce the material well. He is super patient when answering questions. He also does practice problems in class, which really helps. If you actually want to learn, TAKE HIM!

Came with hope left hopeless. 3 exams, 10 HW assignments. Lectures were good he goes slow and will repeat info because its a TON to remember and confusing at times. The lecture, the HW, and exams dont really correlate but he post videos that helped. I studied hours for exams and still failed. BUT He is the best choice for acct2102 according to RMP

While his lectures are informative, the hw was created entirely by Connect not him, meaning that usually the assignments did not correlate with what was taught in class, he only skims the surface. Meaning you must DEDICATE hours to the class even if this is not your major. So if you are not willing to teach yourself, do not take the course.

Only things in the gradebook are 3 exams and homework. Homework is on McGraw-Hill and its different from what he teaches in class. It's one of those classes where you spend hours learning the material on your own and there's no extra credit to help you out. Kooti will go slow on the lectures and go back if you have any questions.

Yes the homework he gives online is SLIGHTLY different format than what is taught in class, but if you understand the material it should not be difficult at all.He lectures and answers questions very well,reply to emails efficiently. Extra credit is offered for each test, must have 83% on all test and 100% in everything else to have A in the class.

He makes u pay money and doesnt grade, but then wants to stare at ur recording of u taking an exam. He waits a week to release exam grade bc he watches every students videos. Would never take again.

Text book is pretty expensive and I feel like was too different from the content on the test. Test are worth 60 percent of the total grade so you have to be perfect or close to it to get an A in the class. For the final test there was a lot of pressure because I didn't really know what to study.

This was the first AI in Accounting class and it was great! Learned how to use AI within accounting. Workload and structure were good. The professor is amazing, caring, understanding, and truly wants you to succeed. He's always willing to help. Just do the work and you'll be fine. Not much to complain about. This was an online hybrid class.
