great prof and teaching style,sample questions help

Decent and fair prof.

Do all the Homework, study everyday, read ahead, do the labs and maybe u'll pass

good explainations + lots of examples + easy assignments + decent midterm + strong accent + lots of repeating = happy student.

Have to say the course is easy. He teaches very well, although he has a thick accent. Does lots of examples. If you do the homework, you will do fine.

Really really heavy accent, sometime hard to understand. Does a lot of examples in lecture. If you need help, he's willing to assist you. Easy assignment, descent mid terms and tough final.

He gives many examples which are helpful. THe midterm was really too easy. If anyone thinks it was hard they really shouldn't be in university. Great professor.

Class was boring but I did learn a lot. Good prof. I would definitely take another accounting class with him teaching.

excellent professor... very fair midterm...provides very good examples.... uses his own handouts rather than the textbook ...overall Mr Chan is a good professor

Very good teacher but have to get used to the accent! Tests are pretty fair!

Dr. Anthony Chan is an excellent professor, even though he has an accent it's very cute and he is very adorable. I would definitely jump at the chance of being in his class again! I was kind of distracted by his cuteness but that just made me go to class

Amazing prof--really handles the large-sized (L72) classes well. Much more organized than other ACC profs, he really cares about what the students are getting out of his lectures--asks for feedback all the time. Great prof!

A dedicated and competent teacher whose understanding of the subject matter and use of practical examples makes for an interesting and valuable learning exercise. I would jump at the chance to take another course with him. One of the best profs I've had!

Very clear with instructions, ans always tries to help students in different ways. Always trying to better himself as a prof.

The best prof!! I actually learned. Very clear, but you should really go to class, his notes are very good

GREAT PROF!!! Don't take any other acc prof. JUST HIM! You'll do fine in his class. He makes sure everyone understands. And he doesn't rush the material. Love you CHAN!!!!!

One of the best professor in Ryerson. He teaches very well. In fact you don't even need a text book he covers everything so well in his lecture. GREAT PROF

he's VERY thorough, great prof! He never makes jokes, but no worries, his accent provides humour to stimulate accounting. It's all about writing the practice chris(quiz)

good job chan!! taught very thoroughly... makes sure that everyone understands... compared to other acc profs.. i'd say chan's the best.. accent is thick.. but as long as he teaches well.. itz all good..!

Dr. Chan is an excellent prof. He teaches very thoroughly and he answers questions to the best of his ability. One of the best parts of Chan's teaching method is that he uses many examples during his lectures. Overall, one of the best prof's around!

Great ACC prof, very clear teaching style and he provides students with great examples of questions that are similar to exam questions. I went from a B- to an A

Extremely clear professor, that explains everything. Exams are challenging because they apply all the concepts, however, Dr. Chan prepares you quite well.

the best prof for acc

The best ACC prof. He is really clear during lectures, and spends most of class time going over examples, which are similar to test questions. I actually enjoyed going to class.

A great guy. He was helpful and very clear. His tests were awesome... not too complicated.

Patient, takes time to explain things well, moves at a good pace, exams and test are very fair. great pfof!

The ideal prof when it comes to explaining concepts and teaching. YOu have a clearer understanding because he is willing to take the time to explain and redo work that people do not understand. Just don't sit in the first few rows when he's lecturing...you get some weather with the new

BEST BEST ACCOUNTING PROFF EVERRRRRR!! SERIOUSLY CANT GET ANY BETTER!

Great Prof- teaches thru past test questions, so totally prepared for the exam; a heavier emphasis on application (than pure theory) but teaches the theory from the application. Well recomended - he'll prepare you nicely for the exam; as usual, the time and effort to pass is up to you.

To all those people who uses his thick accent to blame themselves for p**s poor performance- Get a grip. This is T.O, everyone has an accent of sorts - Chan is perfectly understandable. Find something more credible and responsible to blame for not understanding the subject. Nobody likes a complainer

Anthony chan is a great prof. Easily understandable, his teaching methods makes the course more easy, his handouts are really helpful and they portray what you expect in his exam. Overall, a great prof.

AMAZING. If you want good feedback, read this. All the other ppl below me did not take notes in his lectures, he gives FULL solutions to the questions in his lectures, EASY EASY marker. MAKE SURE u do/understand ALL the questions he assigns b4 the midterm & exam and u will DO GREAT. I got an A+ and it was a piece of cake. Take em as a prof fo sho!

Best accounting prof I ever had, he explains everything until you understand, responds well to questions, and has good handouts. You have to go to every class though, and take notes. Memorize his hand out questions, pay attention, and it's an easy A.

He's one of the best acc profs at Ryerson. Every example he went through was in detail. Midterm was alright, final was difficult, but fair, and everything was based of his in-class examples. If you take notes, you're gonna do well. Simple as that.

Very lenient marker. Chose the easiest question for the hand in assignment to bump up the class average. Midterm and finals were very fair and do-able. Lectures can be boring but the examples he does in class are a MUST HAVE.

Chan is great. Even tho there is a language barrier, he still teaches the material VERY WELL. His old test examples for weekly handouts are a great source for learning/help. Don't get scared by his accent. It's entertaining in class when people mock it. He is easier than other ACC406 profs.

Really good prof. Does not waste time with pointless course material, but instead does tons of examples. The examples are great and help understand the course, as well, are similar to midterm and final questions. He is a little hard to understand at times but you can get by. Best prof for acc406.

Chan is the man!!!!...awesome awesome teacher

He is a super easy prof. He gave solutions in detail. Although students always made fun of his accent, he didn't mind but laughed together. If you don't understand anything, feel free to talk to him, as he does try his best to explain it over and over again, even he has the language barrier. Btw, I got an A+ in this course!

An incredible teacher. He goes over every single problem, step by step in class. Just write everything he does, repeat each of the 25+ problems twice, A guaranteed. This is a hard course made easy by one of the best Prof's in Canada.

At first i freaked because i thought there was no way i could understand him, but he is a good prof. The textbook isn't really any good - his classes are what will save you, as are his handout questions, as they are very similar to the midterms and the final...although the final is a tad harder than the midterms...still though - he is a good prof!

2 teachers teach this class and he is the better one.Just go to class and sit in the front row.Copy everything he says and re-do his handouts on your own.The exams are very similar to his handouts.Overall he is good

Gives you lots of examples/model answers, if you study those, midterms and final should be a piece of cake.

He's one of the best Accounting profs at Ryerson. His teaching style is helpful, though some people complain about his accent. His class can be boring, but it all comes down to your own effort. I think it's not a super hard course, I got a decent grade.

He is an awesome prof, i would recommend taking him. Just go to class and do his handouts!

I had him in dayschool, and dropped, took him in the spring n did very well. Focus on his handouts only, the txtbook is garbage. Midterms in spring are easy. Talk to someone who had him in the past his notes stay exactly the same and midterms are similar. Good prof, just pay attention to when he speaks, his accent is bad.

He is an amazing prof. Just go to class.. pay attention and work on only the problems he does in class and you will do amazing.

best prof in ryerson. EASY! Take ACC406 with him

Good prof. Keep on taking notes - tests are based on them. Keeps assigment average around 70-79%. Final was hard though.

Anthony was extremely helpful. He is a great and funny professor. Frankly saying textbook sucks. Financial Acct. textbook was fine and clearly written, but Management Acct. – not and it is not only my opinion. If you don’t have enough time to learn, my advice is just concentrate of professor’s explanations.

Two midterm exams were mostly straight forward – and I thought that final would be like that, but final was difficult, there were some tricky questions, one or two problems I just couldn’t understand what I need to do, but I’ve just done as much as I could. I talked with few students and they were slightly shocked after exam. Be prepared.

Probably someone can say that his lectures are a little bit bored, but if are focus on passing the exam and you are going to work in this field and use your knowledge you won’t be bored, because his lecture contains all helpful information that you need. He is professional.

I am an immigrant and I had some fears about understanding the professor, but he speaks so clearly and slowly, that everybody could understand. Besides he knows how to amuse students, and he has very funny accent.

ANTHONY CHAN CAN TEACH ACCOUNTING TO A MONKEY. ENOUGH SAID. CHAN THE MAN

I would say that for the later year management accounting course he is overall a good prof. However I could say that in terms of the 803 management accounting he from my perspective is missing out on how cases should be done right. Other then that he is okay (although his English can be sometimes trickly to understand)

He repeats himself a lot, which is a good and bad thing. You shouldn't miss anything important, but lectures get boring because of it.

It's weird how I understand management accounting more than ACC 100, since Chan explains the material nice and slow. The handouts really prepare you for midterms. Prof Chan gets to the point compare to other Acc profs who talk fast and do little exmaples in class. Midterms are not bad as long as you understand the concepts explained in class

Chan is a good professor. The only problem was that the final was really difficult. It was suppose to be 8 calculation questions and some M/C and T/F, but it turned out that the m/c questions had mostly calcuation questions whuch means that you get no part marks for showing your work. The handouts help but must understand cocepts behind them.

only take acc406 with chan!! he really wants his students to do well, and basically his midterms are based on questions done in class. The final was extremely hard though, but i think he bell-curved because there would be no way i'd get a B from that final which i thought was a for-sure fail.

IF you want a good mark in acc406, then take Antony Chan. His teaching style is better than every other acc prof. Notes are clear and easy to understand. He takes up questions so you will understand the concpets. IF you want a good mark on the mid-term, just keep doing the handout questions. Final was a bit hard, but if you study, you can get an A

Anthony Chan is one of the best professors! Materials were easy to understand because of his teaching style! If you do your work, you will do well in the course. GREAT PROFESSOR!

I really like him, he tries to be funny. lectures are boring but interesing

After reading all the reviews, Chan is a fair professor compare to other acc profs I had. His notes definately helped me clearify the important concepts. The final exam was hard but it was acutally a fair exam after he took it up with me. Make sure you really understand the concepts and not memorize the handouts since the final is not like his note

Very nice and friendly professor.

Obviously the guy below probably flunked or dropped the course. Anthony Chan is a great professor he knows what hes talking about and his tests aren't hard at all.

Anthony Chan is the best Accounting professor at Ryerson. His teaching style is extremely effective due to the fact that he does numerous examples during class. His tests are fair and very straightforward with little to no surprises.tricks to them. I recommend Anthony Chan especially if you have no accounting experience as he is very helpful.

Great Professor. I took ACC 406 with Anthony Chan and I ended with a C-. It wasn't any fault of his. He uses numerous examples in each of his lectures that help to make the material understandable. You have to attend all the classes and read before going to class.

There's no reason why you can't ace this course if you put a little effort into it and go to all his classes. He's very clear, uses so many examples, and he's enthuastic about what he teaches. Very helpful and funny! Try and take accounting with him if you can.

great prof, sure he has an accent but it's nothing out of this world... speaks very SLOWWWW! but very clear :) which is great!!! but don't expect to have any short classes at all! each class is a full 3hrs final exam can throw u off a bit, but if u attend all his classes u should be set cus he does soooo many examples in class!

Great professor. You gotta print out the handouts before coming to class, otherwise you won't catch up.

Great prof, explains everything crystal clear, tests are very reasonable. Study and you can do well

Easy and helpful prof; Both Tests are very straight forward and can have an A by mid-term. Final came from outer space and was nothing at all like course material; be ready and do all the hard q's from txt. Brought mark down a lot but overall; still the guy to take.

People should be graceful that he marked the first two tests very easy. However he did make the final very hard. Overall, he emphasizes concepts just go to class and do not take him for granted.

Smart, and teaches all you need to know for exams. It is up to the student to study and understand the material. Typical business student attitude will not work in this class. He does well to help understand but most students don't pay attention and complain later.

His notes and practice questions were extremely helpful. He made the class interesting and that is quite difficult for a boring course such as accounting. Final was easier than midterms.

Very good prof for this course. You should attend class since he makes his own detailed notes. No PP. Both midterms were easy, while the final was easier than I expected. Ended up with A+. Repeats key points over and over which is excellent. Take Acc406 with no one other than Anthony Chan.

The first midterm was hard got 63 same as class average the second was easy got 88 but class avrg was 63. The final was very difficult and i think he bell curved it but ended up with B+. No pp but his notes are great overall hes a good proff

Extremely helpful prof who does plenty of examples in class that are reflected on his tests. A lot of people saying that his final was crazy hard, but it was mostly what he did in the review period and handouts. Might retake him upgrade my mark.

The final exam was based on what the Prof said but it was tedious because of the amount of material covered in the last weeks of the course.

he was helpful i liked how we had to take notes in class it helped me to learn alot more than just reading off of slides which i probably wouldnt read when i get home

Go to class, he does a lot of examples. He is a tough marker on tests and exams though, and doesn't give any hints on what will be tested, vs other profs that do. You will learn the material from him, but you won't get a good mark.

Take his notes , use his notes and textbook questions to study .A little strict on marking but overall tests and exam are fair. Would recommend

Accounting is a hard course, but Anthony takes the time to teach his students. I found it easy to follow along, and the tests were fair. You'll need to understand the concepts to pass the course!

Pros: - Great in explaining the contents in detail - Gives examples of the reality in managerial accounting - Lots of homework questions and practice questions which is useful for tests and exams - LOVES to repeat anything that is important Cons: - He does have an accent - Doesnt give much hints on what is on the tests or exams

Anthony Chan is the best prof for this course. ACC406 in general is a very tough course but this prof takes the time to explain everything in great detail and provides you with useful worksheets for practice. He has a slight accent, but overall his teaching method is ideal for this course (he makes you handwrite all your notes). +He's hilarious

He uses an overhead projector to write notes, instead of powerpoints like other accounting professors. His accent may be hard to understand at first but he tried to enunciate the words so it is clear to understand. His tests are similar to questions that are discussed in class and homework questions, so do lots of practice to get an A!

ACC406 is a pretty tough class, but I found Anthony Chan pretty straightforward in all his lectures. He doesn't use PowerPoint slides, but instead writes on the projector. At first, I thought this might be a problem, but its actually a good method for a application based class such as accounting. Know his examples and you'll be fine.

Anthony Chan is a great ACC prof! When i went to my first lecture i thought he would be really tough but i was wrong. He has amazing notes and his tests are straightforward. He doesn't surprise you with questions you've never seen before. As long as you go to all his classes and pay attention you will definitely do well.

Anthony Chan for me personally is A+ prof. His accent may be in a way at first, but once you get used to it he is amazing. He writes his notes instead of giving powerpoints (which I find much better), and gives lots of examples. Examples are really similar to the tests. Midterms were overall I think very fair, but do not mistaken this for easy A.

He shows us how to complete questions from the textbook for each chapter and he also provides handouts each week and actually completes majority of them in class. Tests are usually very similar to all handouts and questions done in class. But you still need to put in a good amount of effort into understanding the material. Great class overall!

The best part about this professor is his extensive knowledge on regarding the course, very long class hours and concentrated, so kinda stressful yet if you are looking to work hard and get good grades, this professor is the way to go!

Anthony Chan was a fair professor. Do not skip any of his classes because all the notes are essential to passing his class. His midterms and exam are fair because you need to do the work to get the mark. I failed this class and took it again with him, glad I did because I actually learned a thing or two about managerial accounting.

He's a great prof, gets to the point and explains examples. Do the homework before class, that way you can understand what you did wrong. He tells you specifically to memorize formats to make it easier for yourself to remember.

Take Anthony's class.. Easily the best prof I've ever had! Yes he does hand write notes.. but he's basically writing your notes for you.

Nice prof and good choice for taking accounting with him! He marks easily and tests are easy. But try your best to attend the classes otherwise you will miss his own writing notes in classes, and his lectures are important. If you attend the class and listen carefully, do practices, you can get good grade.

Pay attention during lectures and you're solid. Tests were straight forward (class average was 75%) Exam was pretty difficult, though. He states that he does not like it when people ask him for marks at the end of the semester, but that's because he is EXTREMELY lenient when marking the tests. Part marks everywhere

He presents himself as a strict professor but he's actually a fair and lenient marker. I've struggled with accounting in the past, but had no problems in his course. Pay attention during lectures and do his practice worksheets and you should do fine.

Lectures are very thorough and easy to follow. You will be there the whole 3 hours but you'll have really good notes. Posts handouts on the course website and then goes through them in detail the next class.

He's very knowledgeable. Just try to pay attention and ignore his slight accent. Even though his lectures are handwritten on an overhead projector, his lectures consists of good examples that will help you on the tests. However, he doesn't post his lectures online, so pay attention. I also like how he takes up homework questions.

Your first impression might turn you off because he talks about how hard the course is, but hes the head professor of ACC406 and makes the final call about whats going to be on the final exam, so thats already 1 reason you should take him. His tests are very fair and he gives a lot of part marks, go to class and listen, hes a very good teacher

Professor Chan is very dedicated to his work. He is incredibly professional but he does care about his students. He explains every concept very clearly and carefully, not a minute of his lectures are wasted time. This is one of the hardest courses in first year BM, it is advisable to choose him as your prof.

Makes the subject easy to learn and approachable when students ask him questions.

He was the second professor I took for ACC406 and the change was incredible. He explains every tiny detail so that his students don't miss a thing. The lectures aren't very interesting if you're not into accounting but as long as you write down everything and study, you're good to go. He teaches through examples, make sure to write those examples!

He says his tests and exams are reasonable, and it is very true, I never once felt pressured for time. Go to class, pay attention and make solid notes for the 3 hours and you will do well. I found the best way to study is to redo the questions done in class and then compare your answers to the detailed and thorough answers he provided in class

Very straightforward with the expectations for the class. His lectures are probably 20% lecture, 40% answers homework question,40% answers in class sample question. Pay attention in class, write down the answers to the examples and you'll do well. Might feel hard to pay attention in class but you'll be glad you did because he writes the exams.

Honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. You have to pay attention, or you won't do well in the course. He teaches every concept step by step in a really clear way (if you are paying attention) and all his test questions are based on what is covered in class. Copy his notes word for word, and refer back to them to answer questions.

Usually takes up homework in class so I'd recommend attending. Sometimes hard to follow, but still a decent professor.

Do practice and homework questions in class, didn't post answers. So attend the lecture matter. Great prof overall

His tests are WAY easier than other profs, pretty much the exact same as his handouts. Lots of self-study is required, the only way to do well is to practice as many questions as you can. You'll have to go to class bc he doesn't post notes, I found it was worth it to get answers for his handouts (print these before class).

ATTEND LECTURES! He essentially does practice exam Qs during lectures and shows every step till the final answer. The first two midterms were easy, but the final exam did a number on me. No cheat sheet is tough, but if you attend class and practice after each lecture, it's an easy mark.

This class is almost purely math focused. You must do practice questions the professor gives you and textbook questions in order to understand how to solve the exam questions. Try to follow the methods the professor shows, as they are the most straightforward and easy to understand. Reading the textbook helps clarify the slides.

Every single practice question he did in class, was an old midterm or final question which prepared us well. Everything he taught us helped us on the midterm. If you sit down and practice the questions he assigns, and put in the effort, you can get high 80s in class. He gives partial marks if you attempt to do the question on the midterm.

prof chan is a great teacher he teaches you what is absolutely necessary in the course to succeed, he is a great teacher and explains the problems well. however you can not miss any class!!! i failed 406 the first time but with prof chan it was a different experience

Good prof. It's important to attend his lectures or you will not understand the test.

Professor Chan's class is challenging but rewarding - stay on top of the practice problems and attend lectures to succeed. Unstuck AI was a great study tool for exam prep.

TRUTH ALERT! Took this professor in the Fall2024 and ended up with an A. Here is a short story, got a 50% on Test1 and topped the finals and midterm2. Key Takeaways:- 1)Attend all his lectures or else u will fail. 2)Midterms and finals are very hard. (25%,25%,50%) 3)Buy a textbook and do all the practice questions. 4)Any questions?-IG-@k_a_beer.

Honestly I was really nervous about this course considering my track record with skipping class every single week and everyone telling me attendance is mandatory but his tests are very similar to the homework he posts so as long as you can confidently complete his homework questions you will do really well in this course

Attendance is not mandatory but you're guaranteed to pass if you just show up to class as everything he goes over in class is what's on the exam.
