He's a really nice guy. Talks a lot. But you really got to keep an eye on his grading, he forgets to record hw all the time! His lectures have nothing to do with his tests so he's really not a very good professor.

He make the class fun.He is funny and his lecture is more informative then the book. He is a nice professor and he is easy to talk to when you need help.Tests are a little bit hard cuz his lecture does not have nothing to do with the tests some time.

Very good teacher. Takes time to help you in whatever you need. Goes over midterm and final in details. I will recommended to anyone who's taking this class.

he is a nice professor and all, but if you are an accounting major, don't take him, you won't learn as much as you would with other professors. If ur just looking for a grade, than he's fine, be a teachers pet for a great grade!

He is a great teacher who cares about his students. He is very funny and makes accounting easier.He works with you to make sure you pass the class. Very lenient with homework, and gives great studyguides for tests.Everything on studyguide is on the test.

he is a good professor but if you are taking his class just to pass take him but if your major is accounting like me, do not cuz he is not clear. doesnt teaches well. bad thing he does not grade on a curve. midterms are final are quiet tough. wasted my class time cuz i learned nothing. thinking on taking it again with anther professor.got a B+ =)

The first business class I took at CSULA was Acct 201 with Dr. Yavari, and I loved it. He is a great and fun teacher who makes the topic extremely interesting. With the information I learned in his class, I went on to finish my bachelor's degree in business, and I am currently pursuing my MBA.I strongly recommend him.

Excellent professor! We need more professors like him. Friendly, helpful, teaches well.

I like his teaching style. He seems to be genuinely interested in us learning. I find that he goes over the material over and over.

Easiest ACCT professor in maybe the entire country. only need to study his note to pass the tests. almost everything is based on tests and the tests are easy, no homework and group project. if u r looking to just pass ACCT, take him. if u wanna learn seriously, find someone else.

He is a great teacher. In the beginning it seems like your not learning at all but in the end you realize that you actually know something. He has a way of having you learn the material without even knowing it. Very fun and sweet.

he's great.... easy tests. give the answers b4.

Man everybody who says this guy sucks, needs to shut up. This guy takes you step by step through everything and really helps you understand the not so easy world of numbers. Good Suits. Great Guy

He is a great prof. If you do bad on the tests you still can get a B in the class.

Helpful and understanding, and tests were based on book which worked out for me since I missed a lot of days. Presentation was a walk in the park and at the end, he didn't even need it presented in front of class - we just turned it in and got full credit.

Great professor i strongly recommend him.

Nice guy. not a great teacher but tries his best to see you pass. if you are concerned about your grade, he wont fail you

Pretty good prof. Test is multichoice/problems/mini essay. His problems (mini financial statements)are sorta confusing if you over think. If you dont get go ask him during the test he gives hints and for me he gave me answers to the problem twice! :) AWESOME, but would be better if he just make it more straight out to understand and not confuse us.

Best Professor at this crappy school

best acct teacher, very smart, TAKE HIM u will never regret, his classes r always "sold out"

TIP/HINT/ADVICE: Easy A, attend MIDterm 1,2 & Final reviews *THIS IS A MUST, tells you EXACTLY whats on the exams, ExamContent: 3-4 prblms (75-80%) & about 35 M/C (20-25%). Ask ALOT of Q's during reviews. MY REGRETS: i didnt study the prblms he gave they were EXACTLY the same but diff. figures, I should have taken another prof & i LEARNED NOTHING!!

u don't need text book for this class but i suggest u 2 attend class cause his lectures are really helpful for ur tests. 1 project, 2 midterms, 1 final (not comprehensive). he gives the Q&A that's gonna be on the test. he goes step by step (slowly) & wants u to completely understand the material. he's such a sweet gentle man, super nice and EASY!

he's cool, and he is really one of the easiest teachers on the campus. If this is not your major and you just want to get bye than he is the guy for you, his class is chill, because he has a life other than school, and he is very smart, and really cares about the students, test okay easy grader, and he doesn't give alot of work

Take very good notes cause its very useful in the future. Highly recommended to take this professor cause he teaches and gives us what is very useful. Gives good examples related to the real world.

Easy. You can fail a the tests and still pass the class. He is very generous.

Prof. Yavari is the reason I changed my major to accounting. He really cares about his students and makes sure you understand the subject. Take good notes of the examples in class and DO the homework and you'll get an A.

I don't know why people made bad comments about him. He only teaches the essentials in accounting. Some professors just talk bs that may or may not relate to the class. but this professor gets right to the point, gives a lot of examples, goes over all the HW.. He tries to teach the hard material in the easiest way. 1 final,1 project,1 presentation.

it is very nice to have professors that cares. the class is easy, you just have to listen and take good notes of his examples. HM, you can take your time and he will take it as long as you did it. I will take him again if I could.

Likes students asking questions if they don't understand the material. Nice professor, easy to talk to. No mid-term which is good and bad because you will not see his testing style until the final. Easy to pass but not easy to get an A. Mostly review and not enough teaching of new material.

Take this teacher if you are a non accounting major. The professor just goes over the basics and makes accounting really easy to understand. Theres just one final, so you need to really prepare yourself for it. Notes are provided at the bookmark...(you dont really need it) So theres one final, one internal control paper, and one group project.

He is a great professor. If you're an accounting professor, take him. You'll learn a great deal from him. He is awsome, funny, and knowledgeable.

He is truly a great teacher. He is the reason why I changed my major to accounting. He cares a great deal for his students. He is the only one in this school that respects students. Extremely helpful and knoweledable in accounting.

Professor Yavari is one of the CalState LA's best. Not only he is extremely helpful, but a very kind individual. I respect him very much. If you're an accounting student, definitely take him. He cares about his student. I wish we had many professors like him in the world. Very Handsome!

Easy professor, easy class. Dont mess up on the final since your whole grade depends on it!

This guy is the best. I believe about the Final; its ridiculous to assume we can memorize everything he covered over the entire course. But this guy is very nice and very knowledgeable and I would take hime for every ACCT class if I could

I enjoyed being in the class all the time because he teaches the material with a humor manner and relates every aspect of it to a real aspect that are happening in the economy.

I'm not a big fan of accounting but this class was pretty easy (marketing major). Teacher is a good genuine guy. Offers his private number for you to call (which I used) and was helpful. Everything is group work so if be "people friendly" or else.. It's basically a recap of Fin/Man accounting. If you don't like presentations, don't take this class.

Funny teacher, let's you partner up to work on the in-class assignments. Midterm is easy, Final is number crunching. Be sure to know your formulas. Only one 7-10 minute group presentation, one 7-10 pager on the presentation topic, and one paper on a company that you interview, all due on 10th week; bombed final, I still passed.

He is a very knowledgeable Professor - The class is hard if you do not like ACCTing, but he's a great teacher. The project is really easy - He's tests are very hard, but he's flexible - Highly Recommend you take him!

Professor Yavari is a nice, wonderful teacher. He has prepared lots of useful information related to the lecture. He cares his students and will help them go through their hardship, but as a student, you have to show you have done your work. I recommend anyone who wants to learn the subject take his class. Easy exams and homework if you study.

He doesnt try to make the subject hard and confusing like the other professors. He uses very reasonable, real life approach to teach you the basics and make it very easier for you to understand. The whole class athmosphere was so relaxed and fun that it makes it really enjoyable to come to class and do the homeworks. Although he doesnt cover that much, you will end up learning a lot because it will stick with you.

I would take him again. The good: he is funny, makes everything very simple, allows all work to be done as a group and goes over all answers. The bad: book is expensive and not very useful, he is pretty lazy. Overall he is pretty good.

Like someone else said, the book is very expensive and not that useful, though for a few key things you can't do without it. New, it gives you access to the class website, which is completely useless. Try to buy it used if you can. Other than that, Yavari is fair, and tests aren't that hard, though there is a considerable amount of homework.

Cool guy, easy going lectures, I did learn quite a few things in his class. If I were go grade him overall, I would give him a solid B. Not a tough grader, but class requires a decent amount of work to be done on your part which all ties into exams. Class had 70 students enrolled!(limit was 35)OUCH!

Highly recommended!!!

Prof.Yavari says in the beginning of the class"this class will be easy,don't worry about the tests,just have fun with it." well nohe skims briefly on the book and teaches that to the class.2 midterms (he took the highest scores &doubled it) and one final. 15% hw online took me forever. KNOW income st & balance sheet well (most points);3Pts mc x30

30 multi choice thats 3 pts each. income and balance sheet a lot of its on test just 2 ques on that. know COGS is part of expenses in Income statement. know whats an asset and liab. it tells u in book! participate to write stuff on board, he likes that. YOU WELCOME!!!!

Easy A

30 multiple choice questions for the midterms worth 3 points each.Finals is 30 multiple questions "4 points each". Make sure to do the HWs, Case Study, internal control paper, and extra credit. You do not need to buy the book new as long as you know people that can send you the links needed. He lets the class out early. Fun and interactive class

Easy class

Dr. Yavari is by far one of the best accounting professors I've had. He's approachable, intelligent ,and really passionate about his material! Definitely a great human being too and will miss his class!

Accounting is not my strongest suit, yet I was able to get a B in this class. Yavari takes his time explaining the material, he's helpful and passionate about accounting. Class was not easy. I studied and made sure I understood the material. Don't miss class, ask questions, and be ready to work hard. If you have all that you will pass this class.

Prof. Yavari knows his craft and is passionate about it. He is understanding and will give credit for late work. The course has 5 HW, 1 Paper, 1 Group Presentation, 1 Case Study. Sounds like alot of work but its really not as it very easy to complete. Just show up to class, come prepared, and work hard.

He is very nice.

He is a good teacher I honestly dont know why so many complains. Honestly this class just depends on you on what you make of it . Your decision to follow the croud or do your best. Study. Attend. And do all hw.

Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews, He's a great professor. He's very helpful in answering any question and his lectures are very throughout. You need to be a willing student to learn accounting in order to fully of your materials, participate in lectures, and most importantly ASK QUESTIONS.

Amazing professor; he is very straightforward and easy to talk to. There is only one group project worth a lot of points, the only way to get a good grade on the project is to keep your team members on track!! He makes you purchase readings, make sure you present to get those points. Just give a summary. No midterms, just one final.

Love Professor Asad response time and helpfulness prior to starting a class. Professor Asad is insightful and knowledgeable in regards to accounting in all fields.

Inspiring to achieve my goal. Professor Asad guidance will be helpful and knowledgeable in the accounting field. Put in the work and you will earn what you get. People need to understand that rate my Professor is skewed either really bad or really good. But this professor is responsive and understanding.

This professor is understanding. There will be lots of textbook assignments on cengage and those assignments will take up a lot of your time.

Professor Yavari is an amazing professor. You will need to purchase WileyPlus in order to take his exams and complete homework assignments. His lectures are easy to understand if you pay attention. He is very approachable and is extremely helpful. He wants his students to succeed in his class. Do the work and you will be fine.

All homework, assignments, quizzes, and exams are assigned online. Quizzes are weekly, timed, and multiple-choice. Midterms (2) and final exam are multiple-choice and timed. Readings are helpful for exams and quizzes. Lectures: no comment Readings: LONG but doable WileyPlus & textbook are required. Complete the week's module to stay on track.

Professor Asad's class is a challenge, but if you put in the work and use helpful resources like unstuck study, you can succeed. Attend lectures, complete WileyPlus assignments, and don't be afraid to ask questions. The grading is fair, and Professor Asad genuinely wants students to learn.
