Best acct. teacher! Teaches only what is important. There is one fun costmarketing project you do in groups. Homework is light, but some require thinking. Puts you into groups and each presents one question assigned. Do the homework, go to class, and you'll pass the test. Test is composed of homework problems. Extra credit given for current events

Auditing book is a compilation of scenarios. Class is composed of discussions book case scenarios. Different from all other classes I've taken. You have to do independent research to answer the case questions. HW is done individually & groups, w each group assigned to present one question. Teacher is lenient on hw if you complete it rightwrong.

Teacher is great, but I didn't like the book for auditing. It was a collection of companies that committed illegalunethical procedures and we had to discuss in class.

His online class was easy but you have to be very independent in your work, otherwise you won't pass. He is typically not available because I think he has another job and doesn't respond to messages very quickly. He's not a really good resource for when you need help due to his availability.

If I could give a 0, I would. Doesn't teach, talk to students, leave feedback, & WON'T LET YOU VIEW GRADED EXAMS. I paid for this class to teach myself & can't even see my graded assignments?? Have a feeling he failed me likely bc I got kicked out halfway through an exam & had to rejoin, with a rule that you can't "stop and restart." SAVE YOURSELF.

Professor Tran is a knowledgeable instructor with a lot of industry experience. His lectures are engaging and he offers great advice for success. I found Unstuck AI and the free textbook really helpful for study prep. Expect challenging exams, but the class is doable with discipline.

I've taken Tran three times now. Even though I have failed his class once, I can say that he is undoubtedly the most caring and respectful teacher I have ever had. He made me change my major from marketing to accounting. If you take good notes and come to lectures, you'll be fine. Take in person only; you will not pass online. BTW he's a swiftie!

DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT take his class online. He barely responds to emails, if he even does, and the online version makes the class WAY more difficult than it needs to be. Each exam is proctored, and without study guides, it makes it super difficult to study for the exams. Do yourself a favor and take accounting IN-PERSON!!!

Take this class in person if possible; however, online is definitely possible. It wasn't that difficult, although in person would've made it easier to learn if you're a more hands on approach. All the needed content is there on canvas to pass the class and as long as you stay on top of ALL the homework, you'll be fine.

Definitely one of my favorite classes. Had him both for 101A and B. Some people have said Managerial is harder, but I actually liked it a bit more. He always gives extra credit, so take the opportunity. With complete honesty, I truly liked the lectures and lessons we have done. Definitely your best choice if going into accounting.

I took this class online, and it was a huge time sink. The asynchronous class was basically just reading the textbook, doing the homework, and taking exams—no lecture videos or anything. There was tons of homework, but if you ace the homework, you'll ace the tests. It's time-consuming and probably better in person, but it's doable online.

Took Accounting 101A online. You teach yourself everything using an online book. Lots of tedious homework. No lectures or contact from the professor at all, except for during the final project. It's a shame to pay for this class only to teach yourself. Heard he's great in person but please please do not take online. This class was a huge headache

Great professor, he's a stand up guy. If you like accounting and you like the subject, this is the man you want to take. I'm not good at it but I'm sure many people love him, great professor all around. He's chill, but please study for the exams you have in this class. Shame I just hate accounting now, would take again if I liked accounting.

I liked him, but he had undeniable favorites in the class, and no one else mattered. So, 2 hours of class, he'd talk to the same 3 people and ignore everyone else.

If you're not an accounting major or didn't take him for 101A, this professor may not be a good fit. He favors accounting majors and past students, which affects class dynamics. Reviews are mostly from favored students. Without prior experience with him, 101B will unwelcoming and harder to succeed in.

Good teacher? Yes, Good person? Not really. Like other comments said, he clearly has favorites in the class. When you ask him a question and he doesn't like you, he gives you a side eye. Genuinely don't get how he got such good reviews.

HAS FAVORITES! DO NOT TAKE if you were not in his 101A class or an accounting major. Why he has 4 point rate, IDK B/C it's not true! If he doesn't like you he will not acknowledge you. His TAs will not neither. LOTS of self teaching for in person class. He will not help you, even if you attend office hours. Consider the comments of the low ratings.

Mentioned in other comments: HE HAS HIS FAVORITES & HAS NO SHAME SAYING IT OUT LOUD IN CLASS! Just do not take if you're not "likeable," as he says. He is a joke, says he "loves teaching & doesn't have to be here" but the way he teaches says other wise. The ONLY professor I have been absolutely disgusted with. Switched my major B/C of this man :(

Professor Tran is very passionate about what he teaches and seems to really care about the success of his students. He went out of his way to help plan events for the students like bringing in Deloitte speakers to talk to his classes. There are well prepared study guides for each of his exams, and no mysteries going into them. Great course!
