Cake Class

Excellent professor, there should be more like him. He makes class interesting and he is very understanding. The tests consist of problems, not multiple choice, so it helps to see what you are doing and the solutions better.

Archie is a great professor, he actually makes going to class a fun experience...

Archie makes accounting fun and really wants people to get accounting and do well in the class. Nice guy, good teacher.

Archie rules

He is hillarious!!! His test are exactly what he teaches. Do the homework and it's cake. He expresses a genuine concern for his students and offers help whenever it's needed. Highly Recommended!

Take this class if you can!! He is one of the best professors at UofL. He's very concerned about his students and very helpful. He wants everyone to succeed!!

Very fun class. Enjoyable to attend. Makes a lot of jokes during class and is concerned about helping his students. Take if you can.

I enjoyed this class. He explained the material well and was very helpful with questions. His tests are hard even if you do study. A great guy to take for Accounting.

Archie really wants his students to do well. He is a good teacher. He strayed from the topic a lot, but if accounting is not a major interest, it made the class more bearable. However, he still managed to cover all of the the material. Do the suggested homeworks, because many of those problems will appear on the quizzes and the tests.

his classes are boring until he gets off topic, then they're rather wild ("grand canyon is going to erupt and kill us all"). tests (both of them) come straight from the homework, for which answer keys are given, and for which he is very willing to lend assistance. a great guy, a good teacher, an easy B at least.

I have had Faircloth for 3 accounting classes and he has been great. He really wants everyone in his class do well unlike other professors. He only does problems in class unstead of lecturing. I personally learning my working examples instead of listening to boring lectures. If this is how you learn take Faircloth for all accounting classes.

Fun and easy class. I enjoyed it a lot. He is very nice guy.

He's a good guy and seems to really care about his students. He is very willing to help. The tests are just like the homework - often the easier questions, so with a little work you can get a good grade

Another instance of a professor's sense of humor balancing out a not-so-exiting subject. Highly recommended.

Hilarious, said if you dont ask questions in his class you will "Burn in hell". But i got a B and never paid any attention so put forth some effort and you can get an A easily.

Dr. Faircloth is a real college professor from the old school who is here to teach and build, and not one of these ex-business people who come in to campuses across the country barking about how the real world is and trying to re-cast the traditional scholar-student roles into boss-employee. If you fall down, Faircloth will help you.

Archie is a great professor. He does not lecture, only does example problems. But you will be well prepared for the midterm and final that way, he lets you know exactly what is on it, and spends plenty of time letting students ask questions. Very helpful.

Archie is a wonderful teacher that absolutely loves Spongebob...no joke. His classes are entertaining and he is extremely funny...just make sure to ask questions. Oh, and he grades his mid-terms and finals in favor of the student...just make sure you know how to format the problem and you will be golden

Easy class! I had basically no idea what was going on the entire time and I got an A. There is a midterm and a final and you can use a cheat sheet. Tells you exactly what is going to be on the tests. Assigns some HW and some in-class problems, you pretty much get credit as long as you did it. Take him for any class you can!

Prof Faircloth certainly brings character to the accounting department. His lectures are straightforward and based on the book; the grade comes from the mid term and final, which are easy given that he tells you what will be on them in good detail. Attendance is not mandatory but helpful.

I have taken faircloth for every class I could! I was so lost during his class but never got less than a B+. you may be lost during the semester, but dont worry you will end up with a good grade!

Loved his teaching style, isn't one of the those teachers who wants to make it difficult for you but wants you to learn the material and understand it.

Very easy professor. Funny & interesting guy, cares that you do well. There is only a midterm & final, multiple choice, noncummulative. No graded hw, but goes over in class to help you learn. He's very approachable. If you took ACCT 205, this is essentially just a review. Take him, he's great.

Awesome professor! His monotone voice can make you bored at times but he knows what he's talking about. Gives plenty of practice problems and uses the book heavily!

Professor Faircloth's class was not too hard, but there is a lot of information you are required to know. His lectures are extremely boring and he makes the subject very dry. However, he is willing to help. His test are fair, but you must study. To sum it all up: easy class, but incredibly boring teacher.

The class is based off two tests (and 5 possible quizzes if the class votes on it), it can be very difficult to dig yourself out of a rut if you get a bad grade on the first test. But he will help you every step of the way.

Cake. Faircloth gets off track a lot, but makes the content easy to understand and is willing to help if you don't understand.

I'm not going to say this class was super easy but it wasn't bad. He teaches a little, goes off on a tangent about something completely unrelated, then goes back to teaching. He has a dry humor that is usually sorta funny and is overall a very mellow guy. I'd say take him b/c of the "sheet of knowledge" you get to use on tests

Requires a lot of studying and keeping up with outside of class. He expects you to try things first, and then he'll explain. Offers every class to set up appointments with him if you don't understand and if you take advantage of that he's very helpful. He likes to get off topic and joke a little. Generally a great professor if you try in the class.

This man truly knows his stuff. His class isnt that hard if you just pay attention and do the assignments he gives you. He goes off on weird tangents but other than that e=he's cool.

At first you'll be weirded out by how a ZZ top band member managed to get a professorship , but then you'll realize this guy is cooler than anybody from ZZ top. His jokes are just as outdated as that reference. Enjoy the class, as good as it gets in accounting.

You will never have another prof like him. He is your hawaiian shirt wearing, long beard rocking, flower child throwback, football loving, rogue accounting professor. He may ramble, but he knows his stuff and is there for you when you need him. Play your cards right, and you'll earn an A and maybe a homemade pie, courtesy of his Amish homies

Archie is a very good professor. He is your Hawaiian shirt wearing, beard rocking professor. There are only TWO exams in the entire semester: the mid-term and final, which can make things harder if you do bad on one of them. But he usually curves the test if a lot of people do bad, and provides SOME extra credit. Overall, very helpful and clear.

Faircloth is my favorite teacher. He is so weird but funny. He only gives 2 tests and you can use a cheat sheet with anything on it. Buy the book so you can do the problems he assigns. He doesn't check homework. The only grades are your two tests. If you make your cheat sheets well, it's an easy A.

His 3 hour class mostly consisted of doing homework from the chapter and explaining through the homework, rather than teach the material and review the homework. Not the worst style, but a little challenging with something like accounting. Don't underestimate the tests, there's only two but if you mess one up it's hard to come back

I thought he was an awesome teacher. If you practice the questions in the book and attend the lectures it is pretty easy to pass. Yeah, there are only 2 exams for your grade, but they are fairly easy if you put in a little effort.

Prof Faircloth is a goofy old man. The material covered is very simple and he goes over everything in class. If you have questions, ask. 2 test, 1 spreadsheet problem, and easy extra credit. Tests you get an entire "Sheet of Knowledge" & it's multiple choice. You can skip, but get notes and study. I never did HW. I just showed up and listened

For grades he does 50% of your grade the midterm and 50% the final. People scored bad on the midterm so he is giving extra credit and additional points with quizzes. He assigns homework and then goes over it in class. It is helpful to do the homework before class so you know what he is talking about. I enjoyed his class and would take him again.

Every class he went over problems in the accounting book, which was his way of teaching. His class consists of one midterm and one final. My class didn't do well on the midterm so he gave out extra credit opportunities. He obviously cared about the students and their grades or he would not have given extra credit. When he gives packets, study those

Do the homework and show up to class you shouldn't have any problems getting an A. He gives out review packets for the exams and pulls the questions right off that. He gave multiple extra credit opportunities, but didn't post them on BB so you have to be there to know what they are. He's a weird guy but he knows it. Overall he's a good professor.

Prof Faircloth is an accountant before a teacher, and that's important to know when you go into the class. He teaches you based on the principles and knowledge that he has gained over his career. As long as show up to class, use the textbook, and ASK QUESTIONS then you'll do fine. Would take this class again.

Dr. Faircloth is a good professor for Accounting 201. He encourages all questions that students have, and never shames anyone. He is very accessible outside the classroom. After every class he reminds his students to make an appointment with him if confused on anything. The grades consist of 2 exams (midterm and final) and 4 homework assignments.
