Mr. Fortner is a great teacher! He takes the time and effort to write effective study guides so students can do well on the exams. Some think he teaches at a fast pace, but just ask and he will help.
nice teacher!
Speaks too quickly during the lectures, even after students ask him to slow down. he knows a lot about accounting, but isn't the best at getting others to understand it. the other students in the class and i always have to get together after to figure out what was being taught in class.
Great class! He e-mailed the students the homework solutions and the study guides for the exams. One more thing...the final was "take home" !!
he's really good in accounting, but he cant teach too well. He's understanding if you miss class and assigns group work but you'll be confused if you dont really know accounting from the start.
Good guy and very helpful
he gives student curve to raise grade!he would like to help student too!
He's really helpful when you ask him to clarify something. Tests are easy enough.
Professor Fortner is a very smart dude. I would say that his teaching style is unique. You would learn a lot of material in his course (materials that you would be able to use in real life). I would love to take his other classes. Oh, very helpful and clear about objectives in class.
He is the best teacher ever. Very eaasy to get an A in his class, if you put time in. I had him for ACC 101& 102. He is alwayes willing to help, he make your work easier troughout the semester. A plesure to take his class.
Anthony is an excellent professor. He is very student friendly, and makes the class interesting. Mr. Fortner teaches you useful things and you will have no probelem getting a good grade if you just show up and do th work. So glad I took this course over the Summer.
The class was pretty good overall. He teaches the concepts in a straightforward way that sticks in your mind. He also incorporates flash cards into the lessons to help you study, which was a big help. Tests were pretty easy.
He goes too fast. he doesnt even tell you what you're learning. he doesnt tell you what youre supposed to be doing. he doesnt know how to teach
This professor is the hottest professor at csn!! his accent is sexy, his arms look like he works out and he is just adorable! He basically gives you a practice exam and goes over it a million times and then u take the test which is identical. Did i mention that he is HOTT!!:) take him and have a easy and entertaining semester!
his class is easy. i took his acc 101( spring 2012). i got 10 points less than the full points( 700 something). i learned a lot. he is patient. he gave us a lot information about CPA definitely helps. finish homework and review practice test, everyone can do well on exams. he gave extra points also.
his class is easy. i took his acc101( spring 2012) and i learned a lot. he is very patients. he gave us a lot information about CPA. exams had the same questions as practice tests but different numbers. he gave extra points also. go to class and finish homework (a lot but really helpful), everyone can get A.
Professor Fortner is a great accounting professor, especially if you are intimidated by the topic. Others will say his is easy, but you will definatey learn what you need to get out of his classes. He is entertaining, and really knows his stuff!
One of the best professors I've ever had. Turned a difficult subject into an easy one. There are only 4 exams and the homework is all in the text book and done as a team with other students.
Easily my favorite professor at CSN, took him for 201 and 202. Both classes were easy, he goes over the testing material every class and makes it easy to understand. Take him!
Great professor. Very clear and easy to understand. Helps to understand difficult concepts, again very helpful.
Took for FALL 2012. Great teacher. Explains and knows the subject very well. Goes over it a couple of times.
Took him for 201,202 ...Only four exams which he gives you four practice exams that are similar for you to practice on,very helpful as well...GOOD TEACHER , MUST TAKE.
Great professor!!! Took him for acc 201 and 202. Very helpful, easy to understand, light homework load, explains exams thoroughly.
Prof. Fortner's class is very helpful and well prepared for anyone for later accounting class! You are guaranteed to make A if you are attending class and participating in your hw.
Quite possibly one of the best professors at the school. Took him for 201 and 202. Easy going, isn't obsessed about people's phones in class, in fact, he encourages you to download the accounting apps and use them in exams. Really helps you understand accounting and is an all round nice guy. Highly recommended. Just wish he taught 203!
Loved this teacher, his Oklahoma accent made it even funnier. He talked fast, but as you followed along his examples are exactly what you need. Step by step. Also the HW thats due at the end of semester mirrors the sample questions on Canvas. Best teacher!
Basically you work on the tests over and over again! This (for me) is a great way to learn the material. You only use the book for reference and the homework (so you have to purchase the book - PS they just changed the book last semester). I would NOT recommend taking this class WITHOUT taking Accounting 100!!
Fortner is a great professor. I'm currently taking him for 202 as well. Very easy class.
I was one of his first classes at CSN and he was great. I think he made it a little bit too easy since the test and the study guide were exactly the same but I learned a lot and he made the class enjoyable. Very nice guy and good professor!
Great professor. made class simple, easy, and fun. He's funny and has a good personality. I would certainly recommend him :)
Anthony Fortner is a great teacher! He's very helpful, during tests you get an extremely similar study guide, can use your computer too. His homework is all due at once at end of semester. Easy A+ , recommend taking.
He's always helpful if you need it. The work isn't crazy hard to do. He goes threw everything in class so you do learn it. Always very understanding. Gives you a study guide for every test and the questions are basically the exact same just different numbers and he lets you use notecards for the test.
He wants to give each of his students an A. He hands you at his contact info so that you can reach him either thru email or phone. He responds in a timely manner most of the time unless your email gets buried along with all his other email so be sure to at least send it twice for him to see it. You will use the textbook extensively
i just want say he is the best in the west !!!!
A overall funny and easy professor to learn from. He takes a difficult topic and breaks it down to the bare minimum. If you actually read the book and come prepared, it will be that much easier. Prepare to be Excel profient. Very funny and outgoing person. Test are simple. Easy homework assignments. Over all great time. (FALL 2014)
Mr. Fortner is an amazing teacher. He works every homework problem in the accounting books he uses. Mr Fortner does this own time and can reference page numbers off the top of his head. He is dedicated at helping his students understand accounting and succeed in the future. I wish more teachers were like him.
Easiest class you can take for accounting, 4 test in total which he reviews in class and gives spreads sheets to do them with. Homework is done with a group and its super easy you can even go to his office hours to get help with it. This class is mostly done through laptops so bring a laptop to class, you do need the book for homework best prof
He was by far one of the best & most understanding teachers I've ever had. He is very nice & helpful. I'm definitely taking his accounting 202 class next! Awesome professor!! Definitely take him for accounting classes! Read the assigned chapters & take notes, do the 4 tests & the homework, which the HW you have all semester to do & you'll do well.
best teacher ever
I took both classes 201 & 202. Very easy A. Homework easy, exams easy, professor easy, 100% you will pass.
He is the greatest teacher. Tests are normal, but he will tell you how to do the test, not just give you the answers. His class is fun, he will keep talking and you dont feel cold. And you can ask whatever you need to know about ACC, He will analyse and solve the problem for you in great details and patient.
If you don't come to class and don't keep up with the homework obviously you won't understand the concept. That's common sense for every course. Fortner doesn't hesitate to help if you need it! He provides all the things necessary to learn, it's up to how much effort you're willing to put in to understand the material. Great professor overall.
He's a really great teacher & is willing to help in whatever you need. He provided his email & cell phone number to all of his students just in case some of us had a couple questions! The test are fairly easy & if you pay attention you have nothing to worry about!
One of the best professor i have ever had. You have to ask for help if you don't understand. You must show up for class to get an A. I would take his class again.
Great professor. He was very welcoming to students who needed help. There were several times I had trouble and was able to go to his office for extra help. You have to read each chapter before class when you are doing the homework in order to understand the material. He really has a passion for accounting and wants all his students to do well.
Must attend class every day & bring a computer-All homework is done in Excel. Professor Fortner is patient, willing to answer any questions. Always available to help you with anything!! All test material clearly explained, grading criteria clearly stated & extra credit given for participation or on tests. Attend class every day & you'll get an A.

Great teacher. Take this professor for all your accounting classes. Very helpful and gives extra credit. Show up for class. Always bring your laptop and pay attention in class and you will pass this course. Good luck!
I HAAATE anything to do with math, Fortner is amazing his lets students team up, and take advantage of office hours. Assigns a big homework BUT it's due the last day of class, you're in a team and he's willing to check answers. Tests are open book/computer/calculator. He also gives a practice test Seriously there is no way you can fail this class.
Professor Fortner was great. He encouraged and rewarded regular attendance and participation with thoroughly reviewing the homework. He works through the same problems with different numbers to make sure we understand the entire process. Accounting was a complete foreign language to me at the beginning. I learned so much, taking him again for 202
Anthony Fortner is an amazing instructor. His positive attitude shines through in his teaching; he's great at relating lectures to current events (and sometimes his life). The homework is straightforward, though he explains it in great detail. It also helps that he's naturally comical and insanely attractive. A great course to spark your ambition!
I'm honestly 50/50 with this professor. Hes a nice guy but he moves way too fast in his lectures. I somehow got an A but I honestly don't know what im doing. All I did was follow the logic. Everything else like definitions of words I don't understand. Take this class if you ARE NOT going to be an accountant its an easy A. Don't if you are.
Good guy and really easy class. If your a Business Major and just need ACC201 and 202 for buss core reqs, take him. Super easy A. If your an accounting major transferring to UNLV, you will not learn enough. Take another professor that will make you learn the material more thoroughly.
Excellent teacher!!!
I have taken this professor for ACC201 and 202. This professor is clear and explains very well. If you need extra help go to his office during office hours. I did the homework in advance, so when I went to class I had some understanding of the material. Great professor and he actually cares about his students.
Great teacher, makes everything clear, very helpful, always there when you have questions. He really knows his stuff!!
This professor is AMAZING. He is a very clear grader, homework is all from the book. Purchase/rent the book is a must. Homework is explained in class, attendance is mandatory if you want to actually learn and understand material. Must have laptop makes life easier to access his excel sheets . Take this class you won't regret it! Good luck!
No quizzes , No homework, 4 exams but all of them are take home. he gives practice exam a week before exam and it's very similar to the actual exam. i recommend him. i would definitely recommend him.
If you are going to be an accountant DO Not take this class. An easy A, but you wont learn enough. Take another professor if you really want to learn. You can buy the book on Amazon less than 20 bucks. He is going to send you excel files for homework. And there is no quizzes. He will do all homework in the class.4 exams are take home.
Extremely helpful
He is such a great professor. If you think that you don't learn then that's your problem because if you study everything makes sense in class. He is a little quick with lecture so be prepared for class.
Some think hes an easy A because the exams are in-class examples with different numbers. Relying on that ensures that you will have to relearn everything for future ACC/FIN courses. If you take the time to understand the material, this prof is excellent at teaching you everything at once (Excel, BAII+, and the math formulas). Definitely recommend!
Professor Fortner is a great choice for accounting. Just go to class and make sure to follow along with the homework he goes through in Excel and you'll be fine. He takes the time to make an Excel spreadsheet for every assignment and test which makes it so much easier. A nice breeze through the course.
great teacher I love him.. he makes the class so easy for the students. easy test. just do your H/W
If you are an Accounting major, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! The class is a super easy A, but you won't learn nothing. He gives you all the answers for homework and exams. Take another professor if you really want to learn accounting. You will seriously struggle when you transfer to UNLV or elsewhere.
The Professor was not prepared the first two days of the semester. There is so much homework. He goes through the excel sheets quickly with little explaining so it can be hard to grasp the concepts. Read the book, keep up with the readings to match homework so you understand. This is an easy A but I would not recommend to accounting majors.
This is my second time taking Professor Fortner and once again, I'm so grateful. He makes accounting enjoyable and easy to understand. I'd definitely recommend him, especially if you appreciate the use of Excel. Participation is appreciated and make to sure to do the in-class assignments which are important at the end.
This professor is one of the best at CSN, class is easy to pass as long as you do your homework. He is also hilarious, his southern accent and jokes are funny. He does leave a lot of homework but its practice of what we went over during class - plus is in groups of 3 or so.
He's more than willing to give you the answers. I feel like I didn't learn anything because of how "easy" it was. He makes the pdf files for you but it gets confusing because there's never any explanation.
Great teacher, he teaches the "problem set B" in class. And assigns "problem set A" as homewk. If you do the homewk you will get an A for the class. He creates the excel spreadsheets for A and B, this is very helpful in getting the homewk finished. If you look deeper you will learn how to build the spreadsheets also.
its a pretty easy course. He will give you the concepts plain simple but its up to you to practice and fully understand it, self learning is pretty much a requirement but he is there to help you so don't be afraid to ask! also dont procrastinate, literally this is how some people fail his class
Quick and easy A. Probably a bit too easy if you're planning on majoring in Accounting. Professor is kind and caring, with very informative lectures. However he did get some of the work mixed up from time to time and it got a little confusing with the spreadsheets. Just three exams and a homework "check-in" list at the end of the course.
One of the best teachers in CSN I took two of his accounting class's as a student show up do the work easy class teacher is cool wants to help his students and cares I wish we had more teachers that actually cared, but i would recommend this professor tests are open note and book
I've heard nightmares about accounting professors but this man is AMAZING. Makes it easy to learn and if you don't get a concept he knows how to explain it in different ways so you'll get it. I love his side stories. I never thought I'd look forward to taking a class involving numbers. However, don't be lazy about it. It goes both ways.
He is a good professor and I would recommend him to anyone interested in accounting. The only bad thing about him is that he is a big hater of the Texas Longhorns and if he keeps messing with the bull, he will get the horns. Go Texas Longhorns!!
Quickbooks class. Big help to do the class as a group. There are always updates to the program compared to the book. In a group settings, like a class, it is a massive help to find the differences from the printed book to the "group think" on what was changed online and how to solve it. In person saved a ton of time. I would take teacher again.
Best professor ever. He really gives you everything you need to pass the class, you just have to put the work in.
Great Professor. He really knows what he's talking about. I would take his class again. He shares funny and interesting stories with the class. He's really patient with students who stay behind. He makes hard problems easy. Cool guy.
Professor Fortner, what can I say. This man is hilarious and interesting. He is very knowledgeable, however he make the course too easy. I understand it is quite a lot of information to go over in such a short period of time but he basically gives you the answers. If you want to learn in his class you will have to teach yourself at home.
Prof Fortner's style of teaching uses computer applications for real-life accounting practice. Very clear grading criteria and has 2 tests, homework, and attendance. Ninja the mascot makes the class even better! Highly recommend this teacher, although his teaching style is different, you might like it but its not for everyone!
It's easy to pass Fortner's class, hard to retain information. He gives out the answers to everything, you don't think in class. If you actually want to learn, you just read the book. You are basically teaching yourself, and your entire grade falls on 3 scantrons. You get no feedback for the work you do until it's too late. His dog cute tho.
Other reviews might say negative things but they arent true in my eyes. I took him again after 201. Hes very cool, funny, and has an adorable doggo. I am an assistant account and I have learned things from him that I use everyday. Yeah he gives you answers but thats for us to go back to and check the answers we can up with.
Professor Anthony is very thoughtful about each student. If you have any type of questions he will answer them. I strongly recommend taking his class as you will get more than just work out of it. I asked him for a recommendation on a book and I am thankful for the feedback. Thanks for helping out even through this pandemic.
Professor Fortner is a really nice and funny guy, however his class lectures are kind of a mess. He goes through a lot of example problems in class, but he doesn't really teach, he just spits out information at you. You are expected to read the book on your own and just understand what he is talking about. If you do so, you can easily pass.
Nice accessible prof, but a little too easy. If you are majoring in ACC, wouldn't recommend because you aren't challenged. Class was dead until after a month when prof posted video lect. 6 week course so everything was crammed in 2 weeks. Lots of resources, hmk/reading is optional, but important to learn. Only 2 tests and a hmk exam. Covid-19 sem
Prof. Fortner is a very solid choice to take and pass ACC202 very straightforward just look at the problem in the book ( the book is the same used in ACC102) write the answer in the spreadsheet provided. The spreadsheet you do not turn in just keep it study it for the 2 exams and homework exam very easy. No reason not to get an A in this class.
Prof. Fortner is great & I'm really happy I took him for my summer session. Responds to emails quickly. Homework is optional, but recommended. ONE hard deadline. Exam 1, Exam 2 and the Homework Exam are on Canvas due at the end of the semester. Very generous as there is no time limit, but only one chance. Great professor would def recommend!
Taking my next accounting class with him. posts up all work and gives you all semester to complete it.
You have three exams, and it's all effortless, I recommend.
Great class. Professor Fortner was very clear on expectations. I learned a lot from this class. The best part is that he opens all sections of the class and you can work at your own pace. I definitely would take one of his classes again. Thanks Professor Fortner.
Professor Fortner is great! I took him for ACC 201 and 202. His videos that help you through the homework are simple and straight to the point. I recommend not procrastinating at all in his class (though doing that is bad either way). Many try to do things last minute but do NOT do that in his class. Use your time well and you will pass!
Pretty easy class, you can work at your own pace, all work is due at the end of the semester. Two exams (study guides provided) and one homework exam (essentially just a compilation of all the homework examples you had to work through during the semester).
In this class it is vital to read the syllabus carefully and not procrastinate. The 2 of the 3 exams, the only graded assignments, are due at the end of the semester. The professor is very passionate about accounting and seems to encourage students and inform them on career and education opportunities in Finance/Accounting.
The class is straightforward, he has everything laid out. Finished my 16 weeks in 8. Two exams and one homework exam are the only grades in the class. All the homework is not graded but is put towards the hw exam. He explains how to do every problem in the hw with videos and he makes it all very clear. Just watch those and do homework and ur set.
This professor was very straightforward and I had no complaints. There are only three exams that make up your grade, however, the Homework exam is compiled of the entire semester's homework, so if you leave it to last minute it will get very overwhelming. But he explains every homework problem and it makes the class much easier. I recommend him!
straight to the point, simple and easy. He lets you have access to the exam early, you basically do 3 exams. One for homework, midterm, and final. He gives you a worksheet that will have all the questions in the exams, so you don't have to worry about second guessing. Love this teacher and his lesson, simple to follow.
This is the worst class. This class is for someone who wants to use outside sources for an easy A and learn absolutely nothing. There is no guidance whatsoever. The professor made zero contact all semester. He gives you all of the answers to the homework. You will learn nothing.
2 exams and a homework exam. This is a good class for busy students since it is basically self-paced, and he's accessible outside of class. The lectures are open/helpful if you feel you need that communication from your professor, otherwise the exams are open the day he course starts. Great professor and content, it's just an independent class.
I finished 16wk class today which is about a month early. There are only 2 exams and 1 "homework exam" that count toward the final grade. He gives u the Qs to work on all semestr. The instructr provides explantions for every homework problem through videos. It is self paced so you can finish course early or take ur time. This class is just "meh"
If you want an easy A this professor is the way to go! Provides videos on how to do the problems super easy to understand. Gives you the exam questions the first day of class. Exams are not proctored. Highly recommend!
Took this class during the summer semester for the 6wk. It consists of only 3 assignments. 1 homework exam and 2 exams. Class is not that hard just a little time consuming. Watch his lectures to understand what to do on your assignment. Everything is already open for you to do from day 1. Book is also needed in order to do the exams.
I appreciated the class being graded off 3 exams. It made it easy to complete with my other courses. You have to be diligent since there are no due dates other than the exams, but I highly recommend him over any other professor.
Anthony is such a great teacher. There are only 2 exams and a homework exam that's available all semester for you to work on. He always responds to emails/texts if you're confused. Overall just a great guy and and easy A
Professor gave all answers to homework in class, as previously mentioned he has zero interaction with the class and does not take questions or go over the material. Very mechanical class. You will learn nothing.
I took this class expecting it to be difficult but Professor Fortner truly does an amazing job of helping students navigate the complexities of Accounting. The class is pretty laid back, and there are 3 exams in total that are not very hard whatsoever. Due dates are very flexible as well, I would most definitely recommend this professor!
