A tough teacher, but knows what he is doing & willing to help

All acctg majors must take him. VERY intelligent. Reminds me of my CFO.

He's tough, but good. Wants you to think for yourself!

Ok, he's short, stern, and reminds me of the hamburger helper glove when he raises his hands, but is different outside of class. You'll have worse in 322. Don't be intimidated. Have to work harder than humanly possible, but you learn to think critically.

Does not make class any easier. Watch out for trick questions!!

Tough, but a really good teacher. He wants you to understand the material.

He's not a difficult teacher. Its the class in general that's tough. Prepare to read more than 50 chapters of accounting. The best thing is that you do almost everything in groups. In the end, you'll know soo much (thats if you can pass the cum. final)

BOB AS A TEACHER IS HORRIBLE! IN CLASS HE'LL DO CALCULATIONS, ON MIDTERMS HE EXPECTS SOMETHING DIFFERENT! DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO, YOU CAN DO ALL THE WORK AND STILL NOT PASS, NO CONSIDERATIONS WHAT SO EVER! ACCOUNTING MAJORS - GOODLUCK!

If you're a lazy student who wants to slide by, you'll won't like him. If you're a hard worker who wants to learn, you'll love him. An excellent teacher who cares beneath that supposedly gruff exterior.

Bob is a good teacher who really wants you to understand the material. It's not his fault that there is a lot of material to cover in the course, and it is certainly not his fault if you're lazy. Be prepared to work like you never have before. Big helpful curve on the exams to boost grades

Bob is not as bad as some of these reviews make him out to be. He knows what he's talking about, there's just a ton of material to cover. It's a really tough class, but what do you expect from an upper div acct course? Be prepared to work harder than you ever have before. Good luck!!

bob is great! ppl simply gives him bad ratings bc they are too lazy to study the materials. to do well you have to understand the concepts (rather than memorize). don't procrasinate. ask smart questions and participate (not to the pt where you become obnoxious). pick a smart grp to work and study w/

This class was hell. Tons of work. Bob is a very good teacher; he knows what he's talking about. However, he's tough and expect a lot from you. His exam questions are tricky. He like playing with your mind, especially on exams

Bob is a great teacher because he motivates you to learn. The class is absolutely based on how much you put into it, and he motivates you to put in as much as possible, but not enough to where you feel it's impossible to succeed. He's really mastered the teaching plan for ACCTG 321 and really knows his stuff.

Bob is a great teacher- he gets a bad rap because will is so high energy that bob ends up being "bad cop" but he really WANTS you to learn and understand and likes top play devils advocate to pull the answers out of you. he does get tricky on exams, but his lectures are truly informative and he's an entertaining guy

Very clear about what is required. If you follow the format, do the work and go to class, it's an easy A. Nice guy who is interested in what he teaches.

Easy A my ***. Bob is a great teacher but I have never worked so hard for a B in my life. The workload is overwhelming and the exams are insane. Exams cover the material taught but twisted, to see if u really know what u r doing. There is so much information covered it's hard 2 know what 2 study. It's doable but you'll b glad when it's over.

It is tough/stressful. I recommend taking under 15 units, there's a ton of homework & group work, many late/sleepless nights to look forward to. Tests are tricky & hard, you never know what will end up on it, at least you get to use notes. Bob is nice when asking questions in class & doesn't make you feel stupid for asking. GOOD LUCK!!!

A good teacher but likes to throw curve balls when it comes exam time. Knows his stuff and teaches it well though but you can't escape being baffled come test time. Very mean when it comes to asking questions in class. If it's a dumb question he'll make sure the class knows it was dumb. Criticizes people on message board as well. Good luck in 321

This class was hell but I was warned before I took it. Bob is ok if he likes you. This class is not easy at all and there is way to much group work. You are likely to drop a whole letter grade after the final so try to have a good grade before you take it. Good Luck

Pushes you to your limit but passing is possile. Expects 100% from his student. More focused on "delevoling your mind" then the details. Everything that you learn in his class is relavent and is probably going to be used once you are an accountant. The most inspiring and best class I have ever had but a nightmare for a whole semester.

This was THE most difficult class I have ever taken. Bob is really tough but passing this class is not impossible. Be prepared to work harder than ever before and probably for only a mediocre grade. This class was a complete horror and I am SO glad it's over but I definitely learned more than I have from any other class I've taken.

Bob is a good teacher it just the class is really hard. Both Bob and Will expect a lot for there students. I have never worked so hard for one class ever, if you are planning to work do not take that many other classes. I was working full time and had 16 units and the semeter could not have ended any quicker. Bob gets a hard rap but he's not bad.

Bob is a great teacher and really knows the material. He's not mean, he just expects students to ask intelligent questions and come to class prepared. The work is hard, but Bob really explains it well - it's up to you to take good notes and study appropriately for the exams (which are no joke!).

This was by far the most difficult class I have ever taken. However, I have also never learned as much in one semester. Although Bob is tough, he is extremely knowledgeable in accounting and loves to teach. Just come to class prepared, participate, and you will be on his good side.

This is a very tough class. He comes off as a hard@$$ (especially in the begining of the semester), but he is actually quite helpful and approachable. I have literally never worked so hard or learned so much during one class. Do the work and volunteer in class, and he will like you.

Bob can be harsh but he was great to me because I came to class always prepared, on time, did the reading, and took good notes. Participate in all classes and find a good group which is essential. Interview them carefully and make sure your goals and schedules dont conflict because alot of work will be done in groups. Also, do all the reading.

This is the toughest course I have ever taken, but you will learn a lot if you work hard. Participation and getting into a good group are also very important (LOTS of group work). Bob knows a heck of a lot and is very approachable/helpful if you apply yourself. Beware of giving wrong answers. He can make people feel kind of dumb.

Bob is a tough guy, and he loves to crack jokes about attorneys. He explains the mechanics of a problem very well, but he doesn't explain the concepts behind them as well. Make sure you read before class and study your in-class notes right after class. You'll benefit from doing this in the end because you can have up to 25 CH to study per Exam.

Bob is the best. He seems intimidating, and sometimes his initial reaction to students' comments/questions are too honest, but thats just Bob. He's always willing to go over things you might not understand, but you have to take the time to approach him. Don't waste his time tho if your not on your game.

if you need to take this class, dont be too discouraged by the previous comments. This class is definately hard but you get used to it as the semester progresses. You do need to put in a lot of time but you will gain a lot of accounting knowledge in doing so. bob and will and both good teachers. its not that bad!

Go to every class, turn in every assignment on time, start the SUA early, read (or at least skim) all (or most) of the daily readings, type up your hand-written notes after every class, work on your exam notes after every class, and start studying for exams at least a week ahead. Hard class, lots of work. Just do it but don't make excuses to Bob.

Make sure this is really what you want to major in before you start this class. It will take over your life, be prepared to read 4-6 chapters a class, TONS of OUTSIDE group homework and individual hmwk. Dont take many other classes with this one, you wont have time for them... I never studied more in my life, and only passed with a C!

Not an easy class. There's a lot of reading, 3 chapters per class or so. However, the class will take over your life, if you don't let it, you will fail. I know several people that failed because they underestimated the exams and never read. So READ and manage your time in exams! Bob is a nice guy with a bad rep. DONT BE LATE, EVER.

SUPER hard class. if you miss one class, it's hard to catch up. pay attention during class & take really good class notes. you can use 2 pgs front & back as a cheat sheet on tests, so TAKE REALLY GOOD CLASS NOTES. this will help you get a decent grade. avg on exams are 53/100. with the curve that's a C. though it's tough, don't quit! you can do it!

Difficult, but do-able. Learn to read quickly & effectively. He's not kidding when he says 30hrs/week outside of class. Bob is an EXCELLENT instructor. He expects u 2 work & can get frustrated w/lazy students. He really cares & is happy to help. Material is mostly not difficult, but the pace kills u. keep up/welcome to the business world!

Bob is a great professor, but he takes accounting very seriously. He is willing to help but make sure you come to class prepared because his portion of the exam is very tricky. Over and Under is a pain so watch out for it. Good luck in 321 because it is the most time consuming class.

incredible teacher, knows the subject extremely well. it IS mandatory to put in effort, but it is worth it. the class indirecly teaches you about WORK ETHIC. students these days dont have much of that kind of ethic anymore. bob and will are both amazing professors.

Good teacher, but not super easy. Will expect you to read the text before class. Also expects you to know GAAP and IFRS.

This guy is too cute! I can't believe he won't be teaching anymore :( Definitely a really awesome guy to know.
