He is such a sweet man. He really cares about his students. He will always go out of his way for you to understand. Put in the work and you'll get a decent grade. Not the easiest class but not the hardest either. If you need to take ECON2 take his class!!!
THE BEST
Show up to class and participate and you should do great.
His lectures are not boring and he provides clear instructions each week to complete readings, online discussions, and take your quizzes before the deadline.
I found Dr. Arora to be resourceful, organized, dedicated, and has the ability to explain complex terms into an easy to understanding manner. It was great taking his class because he quickly develops a rapport with his students which is an A+ in my point of view.
Dr. Arora is a wonderful professor who truly cares about teaching and his students. He has a great sense of humor and gives informative and valuable lectures. Come to class, do the work, and you will pass the class AND learn something valuable.
Dr.B really helps you out when you need help. If you are struggling to understand something he helps you. He is very understandable and reasonable.
He is simply the best Prof out there, if you need assistance or help, he would easily run across a soccer field to help his students.
If you do the work, the class is an easy A. There is plenty of extra credit opportunity to help you out with some measly points lost. If you don't put the work in, you won't get the A.
Dr. Arora's Econ 2 course has given me knowledge I will be able to use beyond my college studies. He makes his lectures very interactive, informative and always looks to help you really understand a concept if you seem lost. As I wrap up this course I find myself really understanding current political issues and topics cause of his class.
Professor Arora is great! He's definitely one of the best Economics instructor I have ever met. The class is structured in a way that allows you to enjoy learning about Economics and how it's applied in the real world. Professor Arora, truly cares for his students and is always willing to help. I highly recommend for anyone to take his class.
Dr. Arora is a great professor. He cares about his students and makes sure students gain knowledge out of his lectures. If you read, do your homework, and attend class you are good to go. He does give extrea credit oppertunitues. He is inspirational, caring, and knowledgeable professor.
Gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit. Is accessible online and in his office. Really makes you work for your grade.
Professor Balbir Arora helps and respects his students. He is ready to explain and give his care and time after the class just make sure everybody understand the material. Professor give extra credit assignments which are helping to get ready for midterm and final exams. He also motivates students bringing examples from own life.
A great choice for a teacher, especially when taking ITV class. Cares and is willing to work with you to help you succeed. Has an accent, which encourages him to try harder for you to learn.
Professor Balbir Arora Took his LAITV course 8 weeks it was fairly easy 8 online quizzes, 1 paper, midterm and a final, Pay attention to his class and lectures it would help you pass his final nd midterm. He offers a lot of extra credit make sure you do it the extra points will give you a better chance of passing or a higher grade. Very helpful
If you want a professor who truly cares about his students then Professor Arora is your guy. He is kind and shows respect to all his students. You have to put in work as usual but he is fair and there when you need him.
not like other college professors!He cares about his students learning something from his class. His classes are very interactive and does not just bore the class with lecture. He prepares you to do well on his exams by giving extra credit questions that usually are on the midterm or final. Would recommend taking his class. you will learn something
This Professor is dedicated to making sure each of his students clearly understands the material. His lectures make the difference between barely passing and acing the class.
The professor sincerely cares about the success of all his students. He did get frustrated that some students were not giving it their all. The requirements are clear and there's weekly extra credit. I was retaking this course, he is the best compared to the previous prof, Xhang from ELAC. Highly recommend!
He's super nice and accommodating. If you ever need any help in his class, I'm sure you'll receive it. He's also a really generous grader. Just read the textbook and you'll be fine.
HE DOES EXPECT YOU TO DO THE WORK AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HES APPROACHABLE.
hes a good dude! Is constantly concerned about performances in the classroom so thats great! Although sometimes topics can be confusing, he gets to the point and teaches very well! AND hes a fair grader so thats awesome too!
Great professor. Really care for his students. He will work with you as long as you are willing to do the work. Economics is a tough subject but he gives real life examples to make economics more understandable than what the textbook indicates.
He holds you accountable. Your grade is dependent upon the work you put in. He is fair and works with you but ultimately it is up to the student. I took the 8-week course and it is a good amount of work in a short period of time.
Good professor. Acknowledges the work, time and effort you put in.
He is so approachable, and truly cares about you understanding the concept, great teacher , just do the work and you are solid in his class!
Good professor. Must read and participate. Very informational.
Great class!!
Great teacher!!
Very good professor, he is caring and wants all his students to pass and gain understanding in the subject. His class discussions are helpful in understanding the more difficult concepts in economics.
Class grading was fair, definitely do able for a 8 week course. Do the extra credit hw, easy points and the same questions are on the midterm and final so dont wait until the last minute and have to answer the question without getting any points. Quiz are online/ 2 chances per quiz. Most questions are definition based but some can be tricky.
I took Econ 1 in ITV program. It was 8 weeks. He is a professor that cares for his students to pass the course. He you arent ready to read and attend classes you will not pass. I enjoyed his class and hope to take him again in Econ 2.
He's a straightforward teacher, he guides you through the chapters with ease. Be prepared for his tests, he gives you the answers before hand so paying attention is a must!
He's an good professor and really cares about his students
I learned a lot in this class the teacher is caring and helps his students a lot and try's to help students that are having difficulties. But this is a fast class and that means you can't miss any classes you have to study and read a lot. Its a very simple class but you need to try hard and If you do everything you should pass with an A.
Good professor, he really cared about the students and made it very clear that he wanted students to succeed. Encouraged students to participate and ask him questions if they didn't understand anything. However, he did spend a lot of time talking about assignments during the beginning of the class that he often sped through lectures.
He runs his class very smoothly and easy to manage. I took it as an ITV class, it was tough as much of the learning was done through canvas but his notes and one class during the weekend helped a lot to learn the material. He also cares about his students so if you ever need help outside of the class you can always reach him.
Took Professor Arora's econ class for 8 weeks. His grading criteria is pretty clear. If you need any help he is always accessible through email and in class. What he teaches on his power points is what is you will find on the test. Also, he allows you to us you text book to take exams just not for the written part of the test.
Took professor for Econ 2 and he was very clear through your the whole term on what is due and how many points. He helps as much as he can and will explain many times until you understand.
Prof. Arora is a phenomenal instructor! He genuinely cares about his students and their future. He will not let you fail, he will only push you harder.
Good class. Prof Arora is good at explaining things if you don't understand. He stops to make sure you are understanding the concept before moving on. He is very passionate about his class, so don't goof off. You get what you work for. If you deserve the A, you will get it.... work for it!
What a great professor! Took him during ITV late spring 2018. He is so caring and goes above and beyond to make sure students understand everything. As long as you're not unreasonable and willing to learn, this class should be fun. Not an easy A but if you do all the homwork and actually study, it's not that hard. Read chapters before lecture!!!
Takes due initiative in ensuring the success of his students. Goes above and beyond in providing what one may need in terms of scholarly assistance. Provides good feedback and responds in timely manner.
He is an aight teacher at best. He does care a lot about his students but spends too much time on nonsense in the beginning and is also VERY sensitive. I honestly would rather chose someone else if I could do it again cause I was not really feeling the way he taught. He is very smart though and knows what he is doing. Tests and quizzes are super ez
I didn't like his class. He was unclear and rushed through material. He mainly used another person's powerpoint and read from it adding a few examples. He tries to be helpful but is easily offended. His assignments were manageable. You are better off just teaching yourself. Not a bad guy, I just didn't learn much. He calls ppl out a lot too.
I enjoyed this Professor. Arora gave extra credit every week and it was straightforward from the book. His exams were straightforward because the material was already covered in the book and discussed with examples in class lectures. I took him for the ITV Weekend College for Econ 2. Macroeconomic is a hard topic but Professor Arora made it doable.
I was skeptical about taking Econ 2 with professor Arora. But after taking his class I was very satisfy with his teaching. He cares a lot about the students and is flexible and understanding of the many situations we have to deal with as students. I will recommend anyone who is willing to work hard to take his class.
He actually takes time and provides a lot of resources so thats students can understand the material. He made understanding the material way easier and used less math.
Hes very passionate about his job and cares about his students.
He cares about his students succeeding. Available through email and his respond time is quick. One term paper, weekly quizzes and discussions through canvas. Dont be tardy or absent. Midterm is first half of book and final is second half. Offers extra credit. Overall good guy and fair.
Really good professor, encourages to do better in class, gives extra credit every week
Straight forward teacher despite of the amount of work there is. Provides study guides and makes what will be on the final and mid term clear. He has lengthy lectures so be wide awake for a class to be able to interact. Interaction is key to understanding the information taught to really dive into class. Buy text for extra credit opportunities.
I took Professor Arora in an online-hybrid version of the class. Not only does he want everyone to succeed, but wants everyone to understand the material. Since this is an Econ. Class, he lives on the ideology that everything's a choice. Gives lots of Extra Credit, but that's a choice, too. Make sure to attend. Very understanding Professor.
The professor may seem intense at first but you soon learn that it is due to his passion for teaching. He genuinely wants all of his students to succeed.
Took this class in 5 weeks ITV at pierce college. Hes such a great professor , always responses to emails. Supper motivated & loves what he does! Just study and keep your head in the class & you will pass. By far the best class I have taken ! He gives extra credit from the book & one term paper & online quizzes ! TAKE HIM !!!
He is very organized which you'll like about his class is extra credits. Midterm and final term are pretty straight forward. If you put a little effort behind your job definitely will get A. I had late start class with professor Arora with Mission college and I'm happy for my decision. and I will take him again if he has Econ010 as well
Really great person and motivated to teach. However, very fast paced and a has a bit of a rough accent, making it a challenge to keep up when writing notes. He does provide notes and summaries of the chapters before hand. So its important to read and review before lectures.
This is a really tough class. its a lot of material and it references Econ 1. if you scored high in that grade than you are more prepared for this class. the instructor was nice and cares about the success of his students.
He cares about all of his students, he wants you to succeed in the class.
Slides are easy to follow since he reviews the information prior to the lecture. There are two exams midterm and final. Professor prOviedo ec, wants everyone to pass. Must attend the lectures !
Teacher is engaging with the students and makes sure that all the students are always engaged during the lectures. He cares about the students and is able to cover a lot of material for a short class very well. I would definitely take this professor again, especially for shorts courses that are accelerated as he does a very good job covering it al
Professor Arora cares very much about his students and provides lots of extra credit opportunities. His lectures are very clear and he loves all of his students to participate in class. He is always available online and in person if you have any questions.
Prof Arora is a dedicated professional. He pushes his students to try their best. He holds you accountable for your work. He makes you repeat things back to him to make sure you understood. There are online quiz every week with discussion responses, which is not a lot of outside class work. He emails you every week to remind you.
He's an awesome professor. He provides any course-related materials for his students to get succeed. He's well organized, straight forward, and caring. I had as late start class at Pierce College. Weekly discussions and quizzes. One term paper. Midterm and final. Tests are really straight forward. He asks what he teaches. I recommend, take him!
His class is very organized and well structured. He offers many extra credit opportunities and works with students to help them succeed. Overall, great professor. You get the grade that you deserve!
I took Professor Arora for Econ 2 during an 8 week period. The class went by very fast and Professor Arora was very well organized. There was a good amount of homework each week. We also had a term paper due. Professor Arora provided notes for each chapter so we could easily follow along with his lectures. His class was very student friendly.
Professor Arora cares about his students succeeding. He is clear in his expectations and teaches you as much as you are willing to learn. His presentation is clear and he gives lecture notes and summaries which are helpful for your midterm and final. The course is challenging but if you put in the work, you will be just fine.
Professor cares about his students passing, if he seems like hes being hard on you its only because he wants you to pass.
Professor Balbir is very caring when it comes helping his students out so that they may achieve the best grade possible, if it seems that the professor being rough on you its simply because he sees the potential that you have.
I took this class as a late start class. I strongly recommend you. He is very straightforward. You won't have heavy homework. A weekly discussion, quiz and be prepared for the next lecture. One term paper, midterm and final. That's not hard for a college student. Take him!
Good lectures, practice quiz and study guides 1:1 as the test questions. Lots of EC opportunities
Class was a breeze was faded the whole time failed 2 exams and still walked out with a "B" . The hw takes like 15 min, the only thing thats annoying is how long he talks at the beginning of class.
The professor is great. As long as you study the online quizzes and read the book and do the homework youll pass easy. Get your book as soon as possible!
Awesome Professor! Really cares about his student. He tries to reach out to everyone.
Professor Balabir is concerned with his students outcome in the class. He provides you all the information necessary for the student to succeed in his class. I would take him again.
He gives good lectures, it is very informative and he is able to explain all the important topic even in such a short amount of time. And the topics he discusses reflects in the exam.
Professor Arora is a rare gem in the laccd community. Countless professors here teach for a paycheck this professor on the other hand truly teaches because he cares. His lectures are informative but you do need to read the book. There is 1 term paper a midterm and final. Homework is optional but do it anyway it will help you learn.
The professor is understanding and genuinely cares for the students. First week or so is kinda boring (normal) but he and the information grows on you. He likes what he does and it shows. His knowledge base in macroeconomics is extensive he's a good teacher to have. Recommended.
Professor Arora truly cares about, and is invested in, his students' success and learning. This was an ITV hybrid class. He answers emails promptly and follows up about your correspondence in class. He also sends you an email reminder early in the week with a breakdown of assignments for the rest of the week. Take him if economics scares you!
It's difficult to really see the real potential of a professor in a quick-paced environment such as ITV, but he still managed to grant some pretty good lectures. He makes it easy to understand and he does take interest in the student-professor relationship, making it difficult to do bad in his class because he actually tries to care.
Great Professor !! Take him and you will be fine. I took Econ2 which was ITV class and it passed really fast and was easy. You have to complete 8 video discussions. 8 quizzes, one term paper which is easy because he is giving 2 month to finish it, midterm and final. He is surprising you due to exams by allowing to use a lots of notes.
In my humble opinion and because of this class I am changing my major to economics. I only hope to be accepted at CSUN. I am excited looking forward to acquire more knowledge in this subject and apply to the world I lived in.
Very clear and upfront.
Great professor cares for his students trys to help them out as much as possible.
Great professor would recommend
Professor is great! Read your syllabus. Took the class part of ITV - 1 semester in 8 wks so assignments back to back. 1 term paper 6-8 pgs online discussion wkly, 20 quest quiz wkly on 2 chpt, read the chpts you pass the quiz, midterm & final mix of multiple choice, true/false - 30 quest w/ 5 short par ans which he provides help 5 days in advance.
The professor was caring and he tries to provide lectures with examples on today economy . He provides feedback so students can exceed and actually pass his class with an A . Open communication was key for me in this class .
Professor Balbir goes out of his way to make sure the students have all the necessary opportunities to succeed in the class. The lectures manage to distill all the information easily. But the highlight of the course is the professors caring attitude for the students.
I recommend everyone to take this class. The professor goes the distance to help students to achieve a good grade in the class. He cares about your future education. If you follow the structure of dates to when things are due, you'll do great in the class.
Pay attention to lectures, what he teaches is exactly what is on his exams and quizzes. Discussion videos are very helpful. Homework is pretty light and can get done quickly. Always gives extra credit opportunity.
Professor Arora is an excellent professor who cares about his students and does whatever it takes for his students to pass his class with knowledge. He wants his students to listen carefully not to punish but to help out students for the future. He is not easy but really knowledgeable and he loves when students ask questions. Participation is key:)
Professor Arora is a great Econ professor. His lecture topics relate directly to the test and he follows the format of the textbook so it is easy to follow along. He also offers a lot of extra credit that is very helpful to tests and quizzes.
Professor Arora is a really good teacher, he is always making sure that his students understand the concept of the class and can apply them to real life. He gives a lot of extra credit assignments, he is always worried that you pass the class and if you dont pass it is because you didnt even try. I would definitely take another class with him.
Professor Balbir Arora, Is a great Professor who truly cares for his students. Takes time to explain each concepts, and will stay after class to further explain. His lectures are very well presented and explains economics in a way were everyone can understand. Gives multiples opportunities for extra credit, was a fun class.
Professor cares about his students and wants them to learn and be successful. I loved the lectures and assignments are clear.
Very good professor and is very passionate about his teaching profession. His lectures are very straight forward. If you have any questions after class he is always there to help you out. He cares a lot for his students and wants to see students succeed in there scholastic careers.
The class isn't hard as long as you actually try on the quizzes and I recommend doing the extra credit he assigns because it really helps on the tests. Lecture are a little confusing because he goes fast. I took this as an 8 week course which makes it a little more stressing but overall not a hard course
He is a great professor that cares about his job and his performance. Show up, pay attention, take the quizzes and you will pass!
He is a great teacher. Cares about what he does. If you dont get an A you arent tying. There is plenty of extra credit opportunities. Show up, do the work, be respectful, itll be a great experience.
Great professor with excellent feedback. He actually made subject understandable.
Assignments are easy but lectures are hard to comprehend.
It may not be a hard course, but he will talk down on you and never allow you ask questions. And when you do, he responds with a different question. Hes hard to work with. Something to keep in mind is the heavy Indian accent. If you cant learn like that, I dont recommend them.
Professor Arora is an excellent professor who puts in a lot of effort to see his students succeed. His explanations of difficult topics are easily understood. Assignments arent overwhelming and any confusion you may have will be gone over. I highly recommend taking Professor Arora course.
Professor Arora is an excellent accounting professor. He will dedicate the time to properly teach you about the subject. Accounting is difficult but Professor Arora is extremely knowledgeable and explains the material in a clear way. I highly recommend taking Professor Arora course.
Professor Balbir is an amazing professor. I would definitely take another class with him if I could! If you want to pass his class with an A simply do your work! He provides students with lots of help to complete your assignments such as videos, lectures, extended dates and extra credit. Professor Balbir really cares about his students.
I took this professor for both Accounting 101 and Economics 101 and I really enjoyed his teaching style. Taking his class with Accounting 101 and understanding his teaching style encouraged me to sign up for his Economics class because of how well he explained the assignments and encouraged participation in both classes, assignments were easy to do
His class is laid out nicely, clear and easy to understand. He goes over everything very thoroughly. He really seems to care about his students doing well and applying their newly acquired knowledge. His accent can be a little hard to understand from time to time, but once you get passed that, everything is great, he will repeat if needed.
Professor Arora, is a great economics teacher. While in lecture he goes throughly in what hes teaching. He cares about his students and always stops to answer questions. He tries to explain himself to a 100% and I respect that. Hes flexible and always look for whats best for his students.
*Corrected* Please read this one. Professor Arora, is a great economics teacher. While in lecture he goes throughly in what hes teaching. He cares about his students and always stops to answer questions. He tries to explain his students a difficult subject to a 100% and I respect that. Hes flexible and always look for whats best for his students.
Dr. Arora actually cares about his students and will make individualized efforts to ensure that you at least pass his class. His online accounting classes are well structured and follow a Cengage program which is required to access the homework. Be sure to attend all lectures in order to catch any extra credit opportunities he offers.
For Econ, a good class. He does lectures and the homework has to do with the textbook. It's pretty easy to understand. I also had him for accounting 1, and it's a lot more difficult with him in that class, because for accounting, we need more examples on how to fill out the different forms, and the lectures only helped partially.
This professor is patient with you, and is very passionate about his lectures. Professor Arora, is the father of Accounting and Economics and he will find a way to get you to understand the materials, but also it is a more successful journey, If you put in the work, study, and attend class meetings, and that is a recipe for success in his class.
If you are looking for an easy A, then take the class. This professor does not complete lectures, he simply goes over a brief PowerPoint summary of each chapter, but he basically reads each slide, doesn't contribute additional examples or lectures. Get ready to read, learn all theories and formulas on your own. He's also not approachable.
He is clear on the homework and what he wants you to turn in, and the best part that is most helpful. When it comes down to quizzes and exams. He also organizes a day of class meeting to review the materials from the chapters, that will be on the Quizzes and Exams, yet It is best to take notes and create independent study time to pass his class....
Prof. Arora is very clear on the first day what it takes to pass the class. At first it seemed intimating like every first day in any class. Big difference is that it doesnt get any better then this professor. It is heavy lecture but as long as you keep up with reading and turn assignments in its pretty hard to fail. Cares about his students alot
Professor Arora is passionate about his class and students, he is clear about what homework assignments are due and when they are due. His lectures are thorough and specific, and his tests are related to the subject matter, no weird questions on his quizzes. The professor cares about what he is teaching and keeps the class interested and involved
Asks you questions about the lecture when he notices your not paying attention. Thick accent, kind of hard to understand at times but he really does care and wants everyone to pass.
Professor Aurora is a nice teacher, but he moves a bit fast. However, he will slow down when explaining topics if he is aksed to. He really does his best to help his students, he's very passionate about his job. He's so passionate that he will stay after class for literally longer than an hour if a student asks him to.
He is a good professor I have taken to classes with him because I like how he explains and cares about his students.
With Mr. Arora, you will learn to take things seriously, He demands you to spend enough time to practice the assignments otherwise you will be lost. accounting is a worth time inversion, This Professor is flexible, and friendly.
I didnt expect to learn so much as I did in this class. His lessons are amazing and entertaining. For the first time ever, I actually wanted to read the entire book. This is because professor Arora kept the class engaged and seamlessly kept us intrigued about the entire subject. I would definitely recommend and take again. Great professor!
Intermediate algebra is not required as a prerequisite to enroll in econ 1. You will rarely find an instructor that will consistently push you to better yourself. He puts his students before anyone else. 5 quiz's with 2 attempts each and plenty of extra credit opportunities. No midterm and 1 final. I dodged a bullet at LACC by choosing Balbir.
I enjoyed the lectures.
I had a great time with Professor Dr. Arora! He always takes time to make sure everyone understands what he is teaching. The best part about him is that he is very respectful. He never belittles his students and always is understanding when there is a late assignment. Extremely lenient. Any class he teaches I would sign up in a heartbeat!
Very Respectful Professor, he treats all his students with respect and gives his students many opportunities to boost their grade. Lecture is straight forward and understandable. I was expecting this course to be very difficult but Dr. Arora made this a very simple course. Would definitely recommend to others.
Professor Arora is one of the best professors I have encountered in LA Mission. He is very considerate of his students as he always asks everyone if they need help. He is also very inspirational as he always tells his students how important it is to know the skills instead of just aiming a good grade. I recommend taking his class if you need it!
He is a good professor he cares a lot about his students. He help us to not fail the class he gave us the opportunity to improve our grades. I will recommend this professor to other student.
Took Professor during the Fall 21 for accounting 1, was very helpful and understanding when turning in assignments. Makes time for students if you arent understanding to do 1 on 1 work. Would highly recommend taking him. Treated his students with respect and was always available.
Always caring and loving person he's a very good teacher he cares about his students to achieve there goals. I am so glad that I had the chance to study with you thank you so much.
First and foremost, this class is very extensive and has several assignments throughout the course. After 17 years of not attending college, the professor made it easier for me to transition into my learning challenges. Through effective feedback during lessons and homework, Professor Balbir was willing to stay after class to explain concepts.
Professor Arora is one of the most helpful and caring professors that I have come across in LAMC. He cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed in the real world. I took Acct. 1 & 2 with him! The class is accessible for online, but in-person lectures and insights are very helpful. I recommend taking it with him if you want to learn!
This is my second semester of accounting with Dr. Balbir. First semester I took accounting (financial) and second is managerial. Overall he is a very nice professor who encourages you learn and ask questions. He wants you learn and is constantly offering help. I would recommend taking accounting with him because of the leniency of learning.
Took Professor Arora for Accounting 2, he is a very Caring and respectful Professor, when it comes to the assignments he is clear with what we must complete. Very responsive if you have any questions he will answer them ASAP. The success of the students is a main priority of his.
I took his classes twice already and I am really happy with what I have learned. His lessons are easy to understand and follow. He lets you turn in late work and is really flexible. He also reaches out to help those who are falling behind. Taking a quiz in this class is easy as practice problems are supplied to all students and extra credit too.
This professor is very caring, he takes the time to explain and help students when they ask. He is very lenient about homework due dates. The one thing I would change is that our tests are always outside of class time and you have 24 hours to do it on usually Friday or Wednesday where this is a Tuesday/Thursday class.
I have taken accounting 1 and 2 by Dr.Balbir. By far the most caring and attentive professor of all Mission. I say this because not many professors would cut down reasonable amount of homework to not give hard time to his students, and offer extra credit. Be sure to attend his class, he gives important lectures to help his students.
Professor Balbir Arora, Haas shown a great deal of Lectures which are great to this class. It's more difficult to read straight from the book and then self-teach yourself, but something about his lectures that inspire me and encourage me to continue through the class.
In order to succeed in this class, you must be prepared to set time apart and work on the assignments. The professor makes the class easier, gives opportunities to succeed and works with you individually if you need the extra help. He's very caring, flexible and gives you time as long as he sees you are trying to do good in the class.
Quite an approachable professor, if you ever need anything whether it be in the classroom or outside he's available through email. Very flexible when it comes to work and wants everyone to succeed.
I took Balbir Arora for accounting 1, he taught his class very well. so, I took Accounting 2 again with him. His lectures are very simple to understand since he uses real-world experience. He is very professional and keeps you posted on every task. One tip I would recommend is to learn how to use Excel since it will be used in the Exams.
Accounting 2 with professor Balbir Arora is a great class to take. He uses real-life examples in his lectures. If you're having trouble he is quick to email you back. I've emailed him 3 am and still got an email back in less than 20 minutes.
Great professor. Very approachable and cares deeply about his students. His main concern is that the students understand the material. Very prompt to return emails. Gives the students every opportunity to succeed in his class. Would most definitely take again.
I previously took Accounting 001 in Fall 2022 with Professor Arora. He is extremely fair and highly professional. As a returning student, I can say that everything I learned from his lectures I've been able to apply in my day-to-day business accounting practices. He uses real-world examples and is always willing to stay after class to help students
Balbir's class organization in canvas is well organized by providing slide notes to his lectures. However, the lectures often go off-topic with examples that do not correlate to the topic. Be prepared to ask questions when you do not understand so he can slow down. You also will have to review the textbook if you want to fully understand the topics

lectures were often off topic and confusing. if you asked a question, you would be shut down or told to stay after class even if it was part of the lecture. does give extra credit so do keep track of that. very unenjoyable. the vibe of the class was depressing
Great Professor and courteous, some students have no respect are rude and don't do any work then complain. Seems to be a trend. Show him respect and do his work and an A is realistic.
