Even though accounting is boring, Prof. Baick's style makes it as fun as possible.
No Comments
very clear.. uses great examples to set you up for the chapter, and figures out ways to break down information for you to comprehend it easier. However, he expects a lot from his students and does not give points away, you have to earn them.. his bonus questions are exams are also very hard..
He's a great teacher. He gives alot of examples to help you visually learn the material and he tries to do his best to help you understand the material. But it is a hard class.
Best professor for accounting period. Uses great examples, and has a gift for making everything easy and interesting.
Prof. Baick is absolutely brilliant and genuinely loves accounting! His class is easily the best accounting course anywhere. He tells great stories and is quite entertaining to listen to. I learned sooo much by taking him.
he is the best
he unquestionally outclasses all of the other accounting professors at MC. he is young, dynamic, and extremely smart! go to every class and do all hw and you should do fine.
Professor Baick has a very original style of teaching his students. He really cares for his students and wants them to do well. I loved his class......he is the best!!!!!
Tough course but Prof. Baick gives you quality instruction and unmatched dedication to the students. Definately the best choice when you take acctg.
His teaching is fantastic,he makes this subject very easy to understand, u cannot go wrong taking his class.
Although not an easy course, Prof. Baick gives you handouts on each chapter and has interesting and remarkably simple ways of understanding hard concepts. I can't say enough good things about him.
Super nice and always helpful. Prof. Baick knows his stuff, gives great handouts, and genuinely likes the subject. Best choice in my opinion.
By far the best Prof. for accounting I've known. Lower drop rate, helpful, young, and funny. You learn more frm prof's who know this material fresh in their mind. Gives handouts, hints, easiest way to learn. Material is hard enough to study, why have a hardass prof. BAICK is the the BEST!!!!!!!
Excellent professor and a pretty funny guy. He is the best professor to take for any accounting class and I would take his class anytime.
The best professor i have ever taken, u will really learn a great deal from his class.He inspired me to take a CPA exam.Words can't express how good he teaches his class.
super smart and knowledgeable in accounting. prof. baick goes the extra mile for his students and makes a hard class as bearable as possible. his stories and off beat jokes are hilarious.
a more dedicated and hardworking prof u wont find anywhere. prof. baick even inspired me to take an interest in accounting. his teaching and class rocks! if u want to learn a lot and do well- take his class! do all the problems he goes over and u will get an a or b.
although accounting sucks no matter who u take, Prof. Baick is the BEST professro out there. i should know since this is my 3rd time taking the class. u must do ALL the hws and go to EVERY class or else ur going to be SOL
you'll work hard in this class and prof baick will work even harder for u. he gives xcellent handouts on EVERY chapter and is the best teacher i have ever met. he is also very nice and respectful. he can be strict at times but that's b/c he really cares for the students. all in all u couldn't ask for a more dedicated or outstanding professor.
prof baick is the best. he really cares about students and he made me love acctg. take him and youll see what i mean.
Too Fast
He is the best teacher in accounting!!I even started to love accounting after I took his class.he is very clear and if you study,you will exactly know what is going to be on the tests!
He's young, and too fast. AC 202 is a dam hard class. Every new chapters he goes over its like it would be a review for you. U gotta read the book of course. I would not recommend him for AC202. Its like math class to me and he should explain more, not just tell the students do the problem in class on the new chapter without first explaining it.
Prof B is awesome! his class is more interesting and his explanations are better than any other professors at MC. he is not too fast at all. he gives kick a@# handouts, rviews and even brought donuts and coffee for us! he's the BEST!
Prof. Baick rocks! His class was a lot of fun and I felt like i learned a lot. Attendance is not mandatory and he is one of the most helful professors i have ever had. His handouts make the concepts easy to understand.
He is awesome. Take him and you will love acc
Best teacher for accounting. He is very helpful and is very clear in his lectures. Never boring and I always enjoyed going to class. Do the work and you'll be fine =)
prof. baick is the best! he is helpful, respectful and and a fantastic professor. he actually treats students w/ respect and cares. i learned a lot by taking him.but his classes fill up fast b/c he is so popular.
By far, the best professor at MC. He is so helpful and really wants his students to succeed. He explains things thoroughly and makes himself available outside of class for extra help. He will even guide you when you aren't taking his class. Absoultely the best professor.
really good, nice, and funny.....
He is the best professor. He makes you love the subject and makes the concepts so easy to learn. He is truly inspirational.
the best professor!!!
Compared to other professors in Rockville,Prof.Baick is definitely the best one.However,he only covered the material which is gonna cover only 70% on the test.So,if you dont read the book,you die.He is pretty strict on grading too.My grade is pretty close to an A.I think if I have taken somebody else,I should have got an A. Go to Germentown!!!!!!!!
He's definitly good, If you have to take this class, take it with him really.
I took his AC 201 and 202 based on the feedbacks.He is definitely the best teacher for AC 201.But he is not good at teaching 202.His tests are so hard.His lectures only cover 70% of the tests.If you dont read the book,you can only get C or worse.Dont recommend him for 202
He is a very nice professor, clear, respectful, gives hints on what the exams cover. One problem I had with him was that he failed to show up 5 times for class, that is 10 hours in total. Other than that i would recommend you take him.
Ehh he is a decent teacher and pretty nice, accounting is very tedious and he pays very close attention to detail. Some of the stuff on his tests weren't covered in class, and he missed at least 4-5 classes, which i thought was COMPLETELY unprofessional especially with the excuses he made. He is good at teaching, but a very hard grader. B-
best professor for accounting! he made the boring subject much more interesting to learn, he is really funny. pay attention to his class and read his handouts then you will get a B like i did, to get an A, you will need to do a lot of practice cuz the class itself is not easy.
great professor! organized, prepared and very helpful.
Intelligent, well educated, and very informed. Prof Baick knows his stuff and he makes class very interesting. He is a great professor and he KNOWS how to explain the material.... Not all who know the material can explain it.
Excellent class and best professor for accounting. Doesn't give out A's like candy, but always tries his best for everyone to do well. Super intelligent too... Highly recommend taking him...
i must say i enjoyed this class much more than i expected. pro baick is organized smart and interesting! hes firm with grading but always fair.
I took Business Ethics with Prof. Baick. Overall, I think he did a good job teaching the class on a subject that most people take for granted as "common knowledge". He is an outgoing guy and you can easily voice your concerns to him. He takes them to heart. Prof Baick is still learning as a teacher so he does make mistakes. But give him a chance.
i loved professor baick's class! everything was well organized and clearly laid out. he goes above and beyond the call of duty and makes you want to learn accounting.
Professor Baick is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and brilliant. He is one of the most entertaining professors at Montgomery College. Classes seem easy because you are enjoying them so much. He goes out of his way to take care of his students. He is the best accounting professor ever! Simply wonderful!
The best teacher I've ever had in college or university. He gives you the notes, helps you with anything you need, and is incredibly smart. I took AC201 and AC202 with him and both were great.
Baick is an awesome professor. He keeps lectures interesting and will do anything in his power to help his students. He had Sunday exam reviews for people who wanted to do especially well. His exams are pretty challenging, so I suggest you read the book. I can't wait to take another one of his classes!
Prof. Baick is great i took him for AC201 and am taking him again for 202. The course is difficult!!!! Prof. Baick is really helpful, his study guide is better then the department!! Always there to help and easy to reach outside of class. Gives you perfect notes and goes over them with you. RECOMMENDED!!!
He is a great teacher, i highly recommend. Not boring at all, you will be alot more focused on the task at hand he is very energizing
best professor I have ever had. Very dedicated to teaching. His handouts rock and his extra review sessions are sick!
Prof Baick is the best professor I have had at MC! He is very approachable and makes you feel comfortable asking questions. He goes out of his way to help you and gives you fantastic handouts. I would take ANY class he teaches!
I loved Prof Baick's class! Although it was difficult, he made it as interesting as possible and explained the material in a very clear common sense way.
He makes this subject interesting. He's very cool. Highly recommended. =D
Professor Baick is the best professor at MC! He is so smart and has an incredible amount of interesting general knowledge which he shares with you in class. I would take ANY class he teaches.
I thoroughly enjoyed his class. He explains the material very clearly and repeats important concepts numerous times. He often stayed after class to help me and held weekend review sessions for us.
he is a nice guy:) he work hard, but if he could reduce mistakes, he will be perfect.
Prof. Baick is very organized and entertaining. He treats students with respect and is very knowledgeable in accounting. He will explain difficult things in simple terms and helps you outside of class. I have nothing bad to say about the man. In fact, he is the man!
Accounting is difficult and boring no matter who you take. That said, Professor Baick is definitely the best choice out there. He gives you TONS of resources and handouts and has complete mastery of the subject. He can explain hard concepts in simple terms. Not all Profs can do that. RECOMMEND!
Professor Baick is by far the best professor at MC. He knows the subject very well and is extremely organized. I took AC210 with him and have been a fan ever since. I wish I could take more classes with him.
He is awesome! So intelligent and nice. He grades exams and papers fast and is very professional. His classes fill up fast so sign up early.
Baick is a tough but outstanding professor. He is extremely brilliant yet he explains things in simple terms. He is strict about deadlines. He is very helpful if you come to him with questions and always eager to help you. He genuinely cares about students and does his best to help you succeed. Overall, I strongly recommend taking him.
Clear and interesting lectures. I understood everything he says in class. He's a great professor.
Best accouning professor I had so far... You should go to class everyday because he teaches so clearly and his notes are extremely helpful for the exams.. He's funny also...i will def. Take him again..
Professor Baick is excellent. Clear and concise, he goes over everything until you get it. There are no surprises on his tests. If you took notes and studied, you will do well. Very personable, as well.
Smart, funny, clear, uses great examples, tough grader.
He is very organized and clear. His handouts are really helpful because he summarized all important points for you. The class is interesting because he always gave interesting examples or experiences. Go for his class!
He is really smart, and really knows a lot about accounting. He has a story for almost every situation. His class is very structured and you always know what he expects from you.
Very good professor. He's so brilliant, organized, and explains difficult things in the simplest terms. He also relates real life things to accounting so it's easier to understand, and makes jokes so the class isn't such a drag. He also cares about his students and wants them to do well. He's the best. Take him.
Best teacher i have ever had in my life
the BEST professor I ever had so far @ MC..very precise, interesting, clear and helpful. took him spring 14 and planning to take him again in fall 14
Simply awesome. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he makes it so fun and interesting, you don't want to miss it. Easily one of the best professors at MC. Gives out great lecture notes, explains concepts so clearly. Just take his class, you won't regret it.
GREAT professor! His lectures are very clear and will always help you if you're struggling. He isn't strict on attendance, but he tries explaining a whole chapter within a day or two so try to not to miss many classes. He is very nice and funny. Highly recommended if you want to do well and understand this course!
Great Professor with a sense of humor!!!
definitely recommend taking his class. he is one of the best prof at MC. his lectures help a lot. so make sure u go to class everyday. also, he does review sections on Sundays before tests. everything he goes over on that day will be on the tests, so make sure you go too. easy grader with a sense of humor.
Do not take his class , he is not helpful at all and at the beginning of the semester he told us that it is not easy to pass the class and most will withdraw at the end.
His class inspires me a lot. Accounting is hard, so if u don't focus, practice, n do ur best, don't try to blame the teacher for failing u. He's on your side, always want to give u the best grades. He tells u everything he knows to help u understand the materials. took 2 classes w him already, so sad I'm leaving MC n won't see him anymore.
Tough class, but the teacher really tried to lift the mood when he could. Tells jokes that are related to the subject (sometimes). Moves quick, but definitely tells you everything you need to know and works through several examples. Great teacher, difficult subject.
Professor is really knowledgeable and inspires you. He shares lots of good handouts on Blackboard and has a great sense of humor. He made accounting as bearable as it can be.
Really nice guy test are hard but could be worse...
He is very knowledgeable and organized. Treats everyone with respect and super helpful if you reach out for help. This is my second course with him and he's def one of the best profs at AU.
Do not take this class online. You'll be teaching yourself. I met with Professor Baick and a tutor throughout the term. I went to extra help sessions and spent 12 hrs per week on the material. However I received a final grade of 79 and Professor Baick refused to round up. Lame.
One of the least helpful professors I've encountered. Get ready to teach yourself. The course material is terrible. Oh what's that you say? You don't know anything about or understand accounting? Good luck.
He is BY FAR the best Accounting professor you can have. He explains everything in the most simplest terms, regardless on how hard the topic is. There isn't much homework, but you can't slack on exams. And by the way, he is VERY FUNNY and it's hard to not pay attention during class considering he cracks jokes every 5 minutes. Anyways, TAKE HIM!!!
Don't take this class. He's knowledgeable but does not care if you're struggling. I met with him once a week during office hours to discuss course material. Accounting was not my best subject, but I spent over 10 hours per week on the material. Professor Baick did not take any of my effort into consideration.
Hes a great professor. He gives you lots of resources like PowerPoint, videos, and extra handouts. If you ask him for extra help, he is always willing to help you. He enforces the grading scale on his syllabus so get help if you dont understand something before its too late.
Hes extremely brilliant in accounting and teaches the material well. Very friendly and cares about student success. He tells hilarious stories in class. I strongly recommend taking him!
The best professor.
He owns all amazing traits that students could expect. Excellent, excellent, excellent teaching skills.
He is the best. His lectures are informative and he doesn't wast time on unnecessary stuff.
He is a great lecturer and presents material in a straightforward and easy to understand way. Hes funny and has great stories which makes accounting more bearable. Hes awesome!
Take class with Professor Baick if you already know and understand accounting principles. If not, find a tutor. He's not helpful during office hours and doesn't take your effort into consideration when grading.
He's one of the best acct professors at MC. He records lecture and uploads on BB that helps you A LOT to understand class mats. Highly recommend.
One of the best professors at Montgomery College. He teaches with passion and is always excited. He is funny which makes class more enjoyable. He is a great professor. Be prepared to pay attention in class because it is accounting after all. Great personality combined with great teaching! He does the most to help his students.
Professor Baick got me through accounting with a passion. Leading up to this course, I kept hearing that the accounting concepts were difficult to understand, no matter who your professor was. However, the fears of misunderstanding and failing accounting vanished within the first couple of lectures with Professor Baick. He makes it easy to get.
He's the greatest! I was afraid of taking accounting 222 online, but as long as I followed his slides and did what I was supposed to do -- I was fine. He's also one of the kindest and willing to help professors I've had. If I don't understand a concept, he would schedule a time to help me and ensure I understood with different scenarios. Amazing!
Brian Baick is the best Professor if you want to understand, love, and pass Accounting. I took the distance learning class this Fall 2021 and received an A +. There were 3 exams and wily plus hw. The hw and the lectures he gives helps you understand and pass the exams. Exams are worth the bulk of your grade. Go to class and youll pass!
Professor Baick is the best Accounting professor you could ever ask for. He makes sure everyone gets the material before moving on, encourages questions and answers them thoroughly. He shares his personal experiences in the Accounting field which made the class very entertaining and lifelike.
I met with him multiple times for office hours. One day he was explaining how during our online exams he can see what we've logged into regarding browser windows. He told me someone in our class was searching for contraceptives. I told him this was irrelevant and inappropriate and contacted the department chair. There are better professors at MC.
BEST PROFESSOR if you follow along during class. Extremely kind and forgiving during the semester. This is why he doesn't round grades at the end of the semester. I do not like accounting but I needed to take the class, he has made it incredibly simple to follow and actually interesting. He is very passionate of what he teaches and it shows.
He is the best. Prof. Baick makes class super fun and easy to understand by providing fun stories or real-life examples. He makes sure the class understands the materials before we move on to the next topics. He is great overall and super easy to talk to as well!!!
Dude is an amazing professor. He will make sure you understand the topic before moving on. Attendance isn't mandatory but it really helps. Lectures are fun and engaging for a 9 am class. All exams and homework are on wiley plus. Exam questions are directly related to the notes provided. I even signed up for his Accounting 222 class.
Very engaging professor! His lectures are interesting and he connects the class material to a lot of real life experiences he has had. He makes the class material easy to understand. Only downside I would say is that there is no extra credit opportunity & grade depends on weekly Wiley hw and exam grades only. 3 exams 25% each + wiley hw grade
Made sure you understand everything and explained things clearly and repeatedly to make sure it's understood.
BEST PROF EVER! Super organized lectures, gives handouts (A LOT), formula sheets on the exam AND his lectures are SO FUN! He tells silly stories and teaches the material very well. Makes accounting very interesting to understand. TAKE HIS CLASS! I even signed up for his ACCT222 class. His teaching made me switch my major to accounting.
I love this guy, funny lil dude, explains the topics in DEPTH, is caring and understands life outside of class, fun to talk to an all around GOAT, gives alot of handouts tho and make sure to study up for the exams because there are only 3 and are the majority of your grade, homeworks are good practice but dont really count for much for your grade.
Professor Baick makes accounting engaging and manageable. Attend class, use the free resources like the textbook and unstuck AI, and you'll grasp the concepts. Grading is fair - just put in the work. Definitely recommend this class.
This class was tough for me, but the professor made it manageable with study guides, chapter explanations, and summaries.
BEST PROFESSOR EVERRRR!!!! Please take if you want to pass and actually learn accounting. Very helpful and inspiring!
