It is a great class! You will learn accounting and YES, he will get you prepared for the CPA. It is a hard class, but hey, it is masters! 15% of my class droped after the first mid-term. I guess they thought they registered for ACCT 101. I recommend the class if you want to get the CPA. Very competitive, exams - hard!!!

This is a very tough class. Self-teaching is the way I got through this course. The professor tries to be helpful, but I believe he is not that great of a teacher. Really understand your debits/credits before the first day of class.

Tough class. He's not kidding when he says you need to spend many hours on your own doing problems. Read the chapter before going to class. He will ask questions. Pay attention to everything in the chapter, including apendixes, even if he doesn't cover it. Everything is included unless specifically excluded. He's tough but you'll learn a lot.

Hardest class ever. No joke. He does care about the students knowledge but is very mean about asking questions and is extremely demanding. DONT SLACK AT ALL. Also, the tests are nuts. Forget concepts, just do problems over and over as he suggests. Also, be sure to read before class and print slides from the textbook. Good luck with him!

Hardest class I ever took, but I learned a lot. Always, always prepare before you go to class. He knows when you are not prepared. Try to attend all the classes. Make sure you work on all the problems after each chapter if you want to ace the tests. Overall, the class is tough, but if you are determined you will do good.

I disagree with all the opinions about this professor. I learned a lot in his course, I spent a lot of hours studying because it is a difficult material and it is so much to study. He tells you what is on the test. Just read the chapters, understand the material, do all Es and Ps and you will be fine. Studying hard really pays off I got an A ;-)

Very demanding course. Professor has equisite sense of humor. Enjoyed the entire semester.A lot of self-study needed and you'll be fine. What I can't understand from other ratings is how does it matter he's not a CPA? Does it have anything to do with your life?

He creates the environment in the class very stressful for those who do not like to talk. However, exams are very straightforward, he tells you what to expect. Study chapters + appendixes for his exams, do not skip anything!!!! I do not think it matters that he does not have a CPA, he is up to date with all the accounting information. I learned a l

By far, the best professor in Baruch College. He knows exactly where weaknesses are and how to correct them. It is a difficult course, but if you study hard you will be glad you took it.

Prof. Aloke Ghosh is one of the most dedicated teachers I've met in almost 20 years of schooling. He teaches with passion for the subject and cares if his students succeed in life. He is very energetic, well informed and very well spoken. I would take his class again without blinking an eyelid.

This professor is funny, smart and a great teacher, but you have to keep up with him otherwise you miss out. I can see why many students would not like him - you can never sleep in his class, he asks questions all the time (in an attempt to take the pulse of the class, not to embarrass) and he is teaching a heavy-load course.

Tough class, but very useful in preparing you for the CPA exam. He is very intense and be prepared to not have a life for a semester. Many people have problems with his style of teaching, being that he is very demanding and constantly calls on people in class. I thought it was challenging, but a very good course. I really took a lot from his cl

The best teacher in the MBA program

He is the best instructor in Baruch

I am taking his class and learning a lot

This class is WORK. Everyday reading and problem doing thats the only way you'll learn. 2 Midterms and Final not culmulative. If he talked less about his methods of grading us and instead taught and did more problems in class it would be helpful. He does give you a chance to survive if you WORK. Put in the time and you'll pass.

By far, one of the best teachers I've ever encountered. Very passionate about accounting, enthusiastic, funny, truly cares about fostering a rich learning experience for his students within and beyond the classroom . Fair Grader. Makes difficult concepts, easy to understand. Highly recommended for anyone who has a strong interest in accounting.

I think he is a good professor!And he was nice enough to reduce the no of problems assigned, to give us guidelines for the exams. He cannot do the work for you! It is a tough class but if you do your work, you will be pleased.

Have a great trip and thank you for a great semester.

All-in-all, I loved the class and learned a ton!!!!

I want to thank you so much for teaching this course. I really got a lot out of it. This course made me much more comfortable looking at financial statements and I really appreciate all the real world examples you integrated into the curriculum.

The class is hard but Prof. Ghosh makes it fun. He sure take the "boring" out of accounting. He is fun, genuine and very charming. He makes the class interesting by bringing real world cases and not just sticking to the typical, traditional ways of teaching just from the text. He cares about students a lot.

This is an extremely difficult class due to the volume of material.(not his fault)He does his best to keep everyone on track through the use of constant quizzes. His tests are fair! But, to recieve a top grade in this class you must stay on top of the work immediately!!. He is firm, but he cares and will help you if you aretrying your best.

contrary to the other reviews, i thought he was alright. he does care about the students and is very nice. his exams i felt was extremely hard. he raises the "level" after each exam regardless of the material, so you could of imagine the final was a nightmare. interesting is that he doesn't test you the typical questions you think is the focus.

In his class if you follow his instructions, you will to get good grades. Good teacher. But the course itself is very lengthy so difficult to justify.

He is a smart person, good and fair professor but you are going to hate him anyway!The class is very tough.Nobody can teach the material in one semester.To do well in this class you have to do all the Es+Ps in the book at least twice.After the pain is gone, you will still have a great knowledge in acc and the adv acc, the cpa will seem easy.Gd luck

If you are serious about acc, don't be affraid to take him. Ppl are complaining bc he is demanding.Do all the Es and Ps in the book at least twice and you'll get a good grade. He has a lot to offer,learn from him.I am not saying it's easy but it's rewarding:)

I loved the course and the professor, learned a lot. No short cut to learning accounting.

I loved accounting and Ghosh's class

I passed my CPA and it was because of his class.

I love the class, I joined this semester. He teaches very well.

Great professor but by far the hardest class I took in Baruch. People who say do all the P&E's twice & u'll be ok is an understatment. Studied more for this than all my other classes combined that semester.

Exceptional heavy load of work (20 chapters or 1300 pages of Acc., graded homework, exercices & problems, quizes) makes this class highly challenging. I've never had to study that much (by far). Professor Ghosh is fair & enthusiastic, but requires A LOT from you. Expect to spend at least 20H/week to study if you want to pass with a B or above.

Professor Ghoshe is a good person who wants to see his students do good. Its not his fault intermediate accounting at grad level is the hardest class at Baruch! I put in around 15-20 hours per week memorizing E's and P's and got a B+. Never worked so hard for a B+ before, but professor ghoshe is the best teacher for this class.

Intermediate Acc is a hard, challenging course and requires a lot of effort and diligence. At the outset, Prof. Ghosh told us the amount of effort required and if you did that you'd do really well in this class. Concentrate on the E's & P's and you'll do great. Prof. Ghosh is very helpful and taught concepts like Lease acc really well.

He is very good at explaining concepts and applying them to real life examples. If you learn better by doing problems in class then Ghosh will be difficult for you. Trust him when he says that he will not fail you if you put in some sort of effort. Most people got B+ or more and the rest got B. Take him if you want to understand the concepts well.

Amazing teacher with a great sense of humor and teaching style. He roots for the students to do well but you need to put in the work. This is a graduate class so do not expect to breeze by. If you put in the time and want to do well you will be rewarded. Do not listen to bad reviews, he's a great professor.

Great class. Really enjoy this professor. He's very straightforward and wants his students to succeed. Class is very interesting. Huge amount of work no matter who teaches class but very rewarding. You must devote lots of time and work all the problems more than once but it's all vital material that must be learned for CPA. It is exhausting though!

not his fault 9804 is so tough but he's the best teacher for the class. not like taking someone else will make it better it's the same 1500 page textbook no matter what. gives you a fair shot at a decent grade.

He is not bad. Intermediate Acc is very though and no professors can do better than him. He is actually trying hard to ease the exams already. The test questions are all from the quizes before. If you are doing well in the quiz and you can pass the exam very easily.

This class is hard and you can't blame the professor. If he sees that you are doing the work - which is A LOT - you will do fine. Gave students every opportunity to manage their grade. The class is no joke though, hardest class I've ever taken. Having had other Accounting professors Ghoshe is pretty good. Goes by the book which is helpful.

The class is very hard but Ghosh does everything he can to set you up to succeed. The tests are not at all unfair he basically tells you 95% of whats going to be on it. As long as you don't fall behind on the ton of reading the class is very manageable.

The material is vast and dense. Professor Ghosh is very energetic and enthusiastic. He loves teaching and puts his students first. The online P questions for the quizes are carbon copies form the book problems with some numbers changed. He grades the midterm and final in your favor! Ask questions in class and or email so he knows your name.

He is very fair and loves teaching. He is very knowledeagle. I hope you take his class

Professor Ghosh posts all his past evaluations on the blackboard. His approval rating is around 90% and students love him. I guess a few students who never took his class or dropped his class must sharing their feedback.

I loved his class, very farr, loves to teach with real life example. No wonder students love him who take his class.

I too saw all his evaluations and students love him. I loved his class. great teacher

I loved his class, a great accounting professor, the best class

I loved the class. he is immensely knowledgeable and shares his wisdom on accounting and finance. The best Baruch class

A difficult class but Ghosh makes learning accounting a lot of fun. He is a superb teacher. I saw his Baruch evaluations, he gets great student feedback. Good job.

The best part about his class are cases studies which he creates himself. Great at giving real life examples. Great prof

Ghosh really prepares you for the FARS portion of the CPA exam. His class was very enjoyable. Great teacher.

Professor Ghosh was genuinely interested in helping his students to succeed, which I appreciate. This is by far the most difficult course I've ever taken, due to the content, the volume of the content, and the difficulty of completing the requisite work in addition to 6 other classes.

The course was wonderful. I learnt a lot. We should have covered chapter 13, 6 and 21 instead of three classes at the end for relaxation. More problem solving would be nice and MCQ practice is needed. Overall, class was really good and I enjoyed it.

I appreciated Prof. Ghosh's work ethic. He always came to class well prepared and took the temperature of the class to see if we were understanding and maintaining the material. He brought real life issues and work to the classroom and that is hugely appreciated. Well done Professor. Uniquely and amazingly well done.

Prof. Ghosh taught an extremely challenging course in very little time. The book chosen was excellent, and he was very straightforward with how to succeed in the course. His midterm had a few frustrating errors but otherwise he delivers on his promise. If he taught any more classes I would take them without hesitation.

Thank you so much, Prof. for making the most challenging course in the program less painful... The quizzes are extremely helpful. Maybe group projectspresentation in the future courses to improve class interactions?

Prior to this class, there has never been a professor that can fully grasp my attention for the entire class time. The guidance provided by Professor Ghosh, and his passion to engage his students has made this one of the most rewarding courses I have ever taken. Thank you!

Lecture was very helpful to establish underlying concepts and accounting in the real world in each chapter.

I liked that the class was a two way stream rather than forced information one way

Extremely well organized class considering the amount of material to covered over a semester. Would be great if more real life examples/cases could be discussed during lectures. I understand this might be difficult given time constraints, but 15-20 minutes discussing actual industry cases (in select classes) based on the professor's research intere

I love Professor Ghosh. He has a great passion about accounting which makes me more interested in the industry. He has also designed a great syllabus which pushes me to learn so much during the semester. I am very grateful that I have him as one of my accounting professors.

Could tell from first class that Professor Ghosh was extremely thoughtful about the class and cared about his students actually learning. Please continue to explain your thought process in determining grading and coursework because it really shows that there is thought and reason behind everything.

The power point slides should be improved a bit, they were difficult to follow. Otherwise, great course and professor.

A very knowledgeable professor. I enjoyed his style of teaching

An awesome prof

Great teacher

He just released his evaluations, students love him. I liked his class a lot as well.

Awesome professor, really liked his class and teaching style.

Professor is really professional in accounting area.

Accounting in general is hard. Professor Ghosh, in my opinion, is the only accounting professor I ever know in Baruch that actually taught the concepts of account extremely clearly. The class itself is a full time job and his exams are related to the CPA Exams but I promise you, you are in good hands if you listen to him! And he cares about us.

Prof. Ghosh cares for his students' careers. The topics covered in the class will take you a long way; you will need to practice individually or in group after class and you will sense the progress as you go. His feedback and suggestions are valuable, and, if you are willing to put in the work, you are in the right class. I would do it again.

Professor Ghosh is an excellent professor who is willing to help his students pass the FAR's section of the CPA exam. I have never seen an accounting professor as passionate as Professor Ghosh. His exams are not easy, so be prepared to read the textbook. Attendance is not mandatory, but i promise you that if you do go, he will do his best to help.

Prof. Ghosh teaches you the contents in a way, which will not only help you excel in the course but also in the long run(CPA). He is highly inspiring and gives a lot of opportunities to anyone who is willing to put in the effort. His tests are tough but he prepares you well. Hands down, Prof. Ghosh is the best professor I've ever had. GOAT

Professor Aloke Ghosh is an incredible professor who cares about his students success in the Accounting field and teaches in a manner that is understandable, interesting & CPA ready. If you have not worked very hard in your past accounting classes, be ready to do so in his as the exams are challenging. You can get an A, but be ready to work hard!

An amazing prof, prepares you for CPA

The depth of his understanding is amazing. He is the best professor in accounting. Just look at his teaching evaluations.

The course is very difficult but Prof Ghosh makes the subject matter easy to understand. Great guy!
