He talks to you if you were in a kindergarten. His tests are hard.
He is hard. if you are new to accounting donmt take him. his HW takes like 6-7 hrs aTleast Every week. u gotta do it in Excel. Its crazy, u slog all semester and dont get worth ur efforts. Take nury. shes the best
If u would like 2 feel what pre-school was like then take his class.He talks real slow & repeats himself a million times.His final has nothing 2 do with what was reviewed & taught in class.He only takes the time to really help the students that he likes.
excelent lecture. teach with power point slides. good explanation. 1 set of homework each chapter. Test is not easy though.
Good teacher...
Very good teacher if you really want to learn something. Not a easy teacher.
Don't take him if you want A from this dude. Tests are very hard!
Although he may be a bit dorky, he's a good teacher. Class is extremely organized, homework is extremely helpful (if you do it), and the reading is not that bad. If you stick with everything, you'll do fine in the class. And so what if he talks slow
Class was really organized and clear. The proffesor takes time to explain the hard material and homeowrk is not so bad.
I think he's a very good prof.Actully,i would like to rephrase that,he's the best teacher ive ever had,if u have no experience in acc the best thing u can do is take his class, he's 100% helpful,clear,and effeicent.If u keep up in the class&the extremly helpful homework sets you'll really benefit al
if you want an A, stay away! but if u want to learn, take him, he teaches using powerpoint and is also very helpful, tests are REALLY hard, you can always go to him before and after class and he makes sure he answers your questions. take him if u want to be an accountant, but not if its jus a requir
Repeats the same thing a hundred times, but it's still helpful.
Bruce Maule is a great teacher. He is understanding, and is willing to go out of his way to help students.
I had quizes and tests almost every week and they were not easy at all... Each HW takes at least 4 hours to finish(for me). 1 full page essay is also required for each HW sets... Good Luck !
If this is the first time you'll be taking accounting, I recommend you take him, you learn a lot from him , but make sure you are not taking a lot of units because hw is a lot, and I mean a lot and they are due at the day he said it will be due, he gives half credit for late hw.
he is a good teacher for sure. he knows how to teach, relly helpful. but he makes you to print like 60 pages at home everyweek for h.w, since he's too lazy to make hand-outs for us. and he keeps on sayin that tests will be based on h.w, but trust me on this, his test are HARD HARD. weekly quizzes are easy, don't be fooled freaking hard grader too
VERY GOOD
nice guy, very clear in explaining things, willing to give students an occasional break with homework
his ok!! great teacher but its a boring class..
This class is not as hard as some people say. The hardest part is the homework--which there is A LOT of. The homework takes forever to finish. His tests are kind of difficult, too. Quizzes are not very hard. VERY nice man and VERY clear in explaining things. He has a really good sense of humor, too. I highly recommend this teacher for accounting.
ppl below me r TRIPPIN' a smiley face? far from it,but yeah in terms of clarity and helpfulness he is perfect, i hated that b/c when we did the teacher evaluation, i couldn't say anything bad about him lol...But He is BORING!!! Put you to sleep within the 1st 5 minutes...I feel sorry for his wife tho lol,and kids lol,he ain't bold he's bolding lmao
This guy is the gayest teacher i have ever had. If your looking for a easy teacher ...this isn't the one. If you miss one hw he will drop you from the class. and hw is due every week along with a one page memo and excell spead sheets, and he makes u do the excell sheets with the codes. This guy is str8 wack.
Automatic F if you miss a homework or miss a few classes. The tests are easy if you do both the homework and practice questions but there are some questions from the book that seem to come out of nowhere. Take if you have time to do the homework.
Professor Maule is too clear. He wears a microphone so that you can hear his every word. He is a very passionate man and will definetely help you. Homework is essential to passing the class.
Easy class. Mr. Maule is very helpful and good. I get A in the first two exam and HW. But his final exam is a little bit too much that I cannot finish that in time.
Don't take this class if you want an A. Homework load requires 20-30 PER WEEK. Is impossible to have a job and pass this class. LITTLE KNOW FACT: only 20% of students pass his class the first time.
He is very hard and slow sometimes and he can be a pyshyco a time
LaMe Very Boring very hard class hes just lame lame lame
Lots and lots and lots of homework. Miss one assignment an you get an automatic F. Can't have a real job and complete this class, its impossible. Weird and strange person. If you have the time and have an easy job or no job you'll probably learn the most from him. Don't miss a single class because he'll only go through key terms ONCE!
hard, most people dont pass, curves tests alot, so much homework every week with quiz, homework doesnt amount to much of the grade- as a teacher try to avoid if you can or can put in solid hours of learning his class is borring hes borring but a nice guy good teacher but you can take a better class
He's the worst teacher I ever had!, this is the first time I'm considering to drop a class... The tests are nothing like the quizzes, he's boring and doesn't really help much...he always starts class early and you don't really do that much work in class, its all lecture..boring...
He is one of the best professors that I've ever hard! He explains topics very clearly in class and he is very supportive outside class room as well. I wish he would teach intermediate accounting II though... Only complains that I have is he doesn't tell jokes at all. But it's better than putting up with bad jokes.
If this is your first accounting class you may struggle with terminology, etc. I recommend taking ACTG 100 first. Do not fall behind. Boring, but very structured and clear in how the class works. He is willing to put in extra time to help you. His lectures are fast paced.Grade based on exams+extra credit(DO ALL EXTRA CREDIT).
I learned a lot from Professor Maule's class. He's trying to connect classroom with real world.
great teacher. can get a lot from the lecture so can spend less time on book. excellent teacher for intermediate accounting I and helpful for cpa exam
He is awesome teacher. Extremely clear assignments, no surprises on tests. Very cool "extra points system" (by doing your HW you will earn points that will be added to your exam score!) Well-organized and helpful. DO NOT BUY a book for his class. He uses power points slides for lectures and HW papers goes separate from a book. A book is useless!!!
Prof Maule spends a great deal of time creating his powerpoints to be the perfect suppliment to the textbook. The only way to truly get the material is to read the book, attend the lectures and do all the homework. He's extremely helpful and wants you to succeed! It's a difficult subject and he gets you through it.
I took 100 with him, it was very easy, 121 is more difficult to understand and sometimes his explanations are not perfectly clear. Do HW, Excel As., review power point slides he uses but DO NOT BUY the book until you really need it. You might don't need it at all and just go to the library to review some chapters before a test.
Prof Maule is a nice guy but his slides could be boring at times and sometimes you lose interest in the class. His tests are also very different from what you learn in the quiz or homework so it could be really confusing.do all the work since its all extra credit and you will need it for the tests if you want to get an A. Dnt buy the book no need
Clear, helpful lectures. PowerPoint slides nice.
Lecture is quite easy to understand due to the slides that are used in class. Resources are very accessible and he has an 'easy-to-understand' teaching system. Homework is extra credit and is not mandatory.
He is really a good teacher.he tries to help the students all the time.Its because of his teaching,now I like accounting.Before this class I was so scared to take this paper. Thanks Mr.Maule
It is an easy class. And professor is pretty good
Mr.Maule's Classes are really organized and clear. The professor takes time to explain the material.I'm taking ACt100 & Act121 ,both the classes with him is really good. Thanks Mr.maule
VERY NICE AND HELPFUL
He's is a great guy, All the work done in his class is extra credit, almost alway available to help you if you have a question. He uses a microphone which is easy sounding on the ears.. Overall Good class final is worth 50% of grade which is a lot but again everything you turn in is extra credit.I would recommend this teacher.
Bruch is a great teacher making everything clear and in detail.I can see how hard he works by the PPT slides prepared by himself.
i happen to like the way he teaches but I wish we spent more time on the topics instead of rushing through them. I really dont like the extra credit point system just because I'm not good at taking tests but I always manage to do the assignments. This made it more stressful for me and I dont like that our grade is just based on tests. Made it hard.
The powerpoint slides and lecture cover the material well enough; I haven't used the textbook much. All HW is extra credit, and is only due once a week. Attendance is extra credit too if you attend every day. Explanations are clear. Overall, a good class.
Professor Maule is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and is always willing to help students. He makes it easy to get a good grade if you're willing to do the work.
He is a great teacher.He knows the course he is teaching very well. He is also very helpful when you do not understand something in class.The downfall would be that the final is work 50% of your grade but there is extra credit. He is also not like other community college teachers.He is there for you even when you need someone to talk to.
really great teacher. he is really helpful and is clear. his class is not easy but by the way he sets up homework to be extra credit really helps your grade in his class. class is not all boring and he is not like other teachers that go off topic.
Very helpful, knowledgeable, and is really here for the students not just for a paycheck. He brings real-world experience into a tough subject and helps those just starting out succeed.
I did not like the method of teaching because I feel the material is rushed through during the powerpoint slides. The HW is repetitive and easy but the exam questions seem to come out of the blue!! Exam questions seem like we never even covered that material in class!! All in all it was very hard for me to comprehend the material. Hopefullyi'llpass
Good teacher, explains material well, is organized, class guidelines set and easy to understand. Attendance is not required, but advised unless you know all the mathematics and formats for this already. Homework not required, but advised to allow for some leeway on tests.
He is cool, class is really easy, i would recommend taking it... Lecture is boring but helpful, workpapers are the best. Practice and you are guaranteed an A
He's a great professor.He made his own ppt slides, very knowledge, also very helpful outside classroom. But ACTG161 is not a easy class.It brings you to next level in a accounting world.
He forget that not everyones been working with accounting for 50 years like he has. You can learn a lot by putting work into his class, but when it comes to his tests, they are nothing like his homeworks and quiz. I felt like I could have studied my heart out and still not have been ready for his curve ball final.
As long as you pay attention in class, do the homework assngmts and the MAL exercises you will do well. Professor Maule is an excellent teacher, takes his time to explain the subject well and adds his bit of humor here and there. I recommen this class with Professor Maule
His lectures are of no use at all. I'm sorry Bruce, but I think we learn accounting more effectively when it's hands-on, since all we do is work papers anyway. Also, the grading style is Very unfair. final=50% of grade. I aced the class, but the final included 7 chapters?? C'mon. Bruce, you're awesome, but please fix your curriculum. Thanks4curving
Prof Maule is a great guy! He has very slow speaking speed whihc is great for me, ESL student. His lecture sometimes boring but USEFUL. As long as you do everything, you will do GREAT in this class!
I didn't like that you couldn't turn your homework in if you missed class. The book was extremely helpful and I really liked the online homework manager and the accounting lab. Good class, good teacher
As an older career changer, I took Intermediate Accounting 161 with Maule and was very happy with the course. Prof Maule goes well beyond the normal ?presentation and test? of material by frequently bringing in real world examples such as excerpts from annual reports. I also like having copies of the powerpoint slides available so you can focus on
his powerpoints are lengthly but arent too bad. the my accounting lab homework takes alot of time to complete, about 1-2 hours per assignment. THE FINAL IS WORTH 50% OF YOUR FINAL GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great personality!
Teaching is good. explains with examples. Over all too good.
It seems a lot of homework, but it is optional. Homework give 10% extra to exam. Good. Take this class if you want to learn and good grade.
hes a good professor and is fairly easy
Excellent professor who instructs and expresses very clearly in his teaching. Very good sense of humor and is high respected by his students, Very fair in his dealings with everything, making clear guidelines and procedures of the courses he teaches.I am sure he is well liked by hi students and peers.
Very nice teacher.You can pass the class on extra credit alone.DO THE HW!!! It is not required, but it is all extra credit points and you will understand the material so much more clearly by doing the hands-on work. I HATE accounting and had to take it, so if you must take it with Bruce!!!
I must say that he is the best math/accounting/anything teacher I have ever had. He makes you want to do homework just to be able to understand the material. Easy A=All extra credit work and My ACTG LAB work, which will prepare you for the final because they are simply repeating the questions you have already seen. Plus 5000 EX cred pts= guaranteed
Mr. Maule is a great instructor! Although there is a lot of homework to do, this is optional, and it will help you to pass the class. Do the homework, practice at least once a week, be on class everyday, and you'll get an A! If you hate accounting, you should take his class. Trust me, he'll make it painless.
His class is fairly straight forwards as long as you do the My Accounting Lab assignments as that's what the exams are based on. Lectures are boring but helpful as he goes over the material thoroughly. Be warned for the final exam as there is a lot of material crammed in at the last minute, so your best bet is to do the exam reviews online ASAP.
Mr. Maule is a great teacher. Although the class is difficult, he really tries to help you get a good grade. I wouldn't recommend missing more than two lessons though. All in all, a great teacher!
Wow-97% of his class, it's power point. You are better off taking Acc online than going to his class and get bored. You learn more on my Acc lab, than attending his class. No wonder he gives sooo many extra credit. If you are just looking to pass the class, take him, but if you want to learn, he is not a good choice.
A wonderful class and a greatest teacher. Mr Maule has a sound knowledge of accounting and knows how to teach and motivate students. His webaccess and Accounting lab are organized & provide you abundant sources to practice. His class is so understanding and valuable. From him I learn how to analyze financial statement and invest securities wisely.
Professor ability to keep class focused and motivated are outstanding. Very good presentation skills as well as he can and will answer your questions :) Very good class and even CPA exam questions are being reviewed and practiced
Amazing professor, he is super helpful and very nice. Accounting 121 is generally a hard class so be prepared to put in a huge amount of work.
Professor maule is a really informative and clear teacher. All of his classes are lectures though but are real helpful. Easy e/c points available making it easy to pass the class with a C. Work online is also very simple. Exams are hard so expect to stay up late for study sessions! But Professor Maule is always happy to help! Definitely recommend.
Be prepared for at least 2 hours of homework every night, if you want the 10% extra credit offered. The online homework is difficult it includes concepts that are not discussed in class. Maule is extremely helpful, however. Overall this class is NOT easy! You will have to put in a lot of work to succeed in this class.
Definitely one of the best instructors I've had in life. His lectures are extremely thorough and detailed and his capacity to help students in terms of resources, advice, and referrals are incredible. I feel very privileged to have his teachings and very grateful to receive his assistance with everything.
Bruce is a very kind hearted teacher with good intentions. He truly wants every one of his students to succeed and will go out of his way to help you. He knows a lot of kids struggle with this topic, but he gives everyone a chance to pass with the extra credit. Great teacher. I highly recommend taking ACCT 100 before 121 and to do the extra credit.
Very straight forward class, we follow the same rutine every exam cycle if you just show up to class and do the work required you are guarantee to get a passing grade no matter how poorly you do in the exams. Final exam extremely hard
Great teacher, he was very helpful and enjoyable to see everyday. He is always positive and is a very giving man. His lectures are not boring. His class was also pretty each. I got more than 100%
Best professor.has everything set up for you online.He makes everything easy for everyone even though accounting isn't for everybody.Always has time to answer your questionsmakes up deadlines forthe assignments according to students availability. "A good teacher is like a candle-it consumes itself to light the way for others."Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Mr. Maule is a great teacher! Even though ACTG 121 is a difficult subject, Mr. Maule does his best to help his students. Power point is helpful because it includes all main material which you need to know. Also, Mr. Maule provides extra information and examples from real life.
This is a very good professor and I recommend to take his classes. I like how he explains material and it is easy to understand even English is not your native English.
Class is no joke. Tons of work, but Professor Maule tries his best to present the material as clearly as possible. Show up everyday and do the 5000 extra credit points and you'll be good.
Prof. Maule uses WileyPlus for the homework assignments. Be prepared to put in the time because the workload is almost overwhelming. DO NOT FALL BEHIND. On the other hand, Prof. Maule takes a subject considered by many to be mundane and makes it entertaining, very informative, and fun (he has a great sense of humor). Good Luck on your journey
The online course uses Wileyplus and it is simply terrible. You will end up spending most of your time trying to find a relative youtube video as the book DOES NOT go into as much detail as the tests!The explanations on Wiley are non-existent so really all you do is answer the homework wrong to see the solution SO DON'T EXPECT TO LEARN ANYTHING
Bruce Maule is a great lecturer who is able to present very dry material in a way that is relevant and often quite humorous. He is also very responsive to suggestions from students. This semester, he changed the format of his quizzes (best one of three), and the full-length exams (instead of 3-hour exams, exams are broken into one-hour sections)
BY far the most challenging accounting class - both Intermediate I and II - that I have ever taken. However, Prof. Maule proved to be the most well prepared, most thorough, and most helpful accounting professor that I have ever known. Intermediate I and II are not easy classes and you will need to work hard just to keep up but I loved it!
Great teacher! I was on the edge of failing but I talked with him and he helped me pass the class. He is really there for his students. I would take him again.
Bruce is the head of the Accounting Dept. at CSM. However, he is down to Earth, approachable & has a disarming sense of humor. In addition, he has an incredible command of the material. During the semester, Bruce asked for students' feedback. He was responsive to our requests regarding exam length & difficulty. Bruce is genuine and enthusiastic.
Mr. Maule is very helpful and considerate of his students. He wants you to succeced and is willing to help you get there. The class is a time commitment, but if you do all the assignments you will be successful. He offers a 10 percent grade increase from extra credit and second attempts on exams. Take this class!
Professor Maule is one of the best teachers in my life. His positive attitude and high level of professionalism in accounting and finance science makes students to believe in their success through hard work and intellectual challenges. Also, he is always helpful and never refuses to explain something and will refer you many resources to get info.
Professor Maule is really great professor, he is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help you get a good understanding of the material. But you need to put the effort in. There's a lot of homework and prep for exams but its really worth it
Dr. Bruce Maule was an extraordinary professor he was always willing to help, and if you are willing to learn, he is the best professor at CSM. Great Job Dr. Bruce
He's awesome!!! He's very nice and he has passion on his job. Just find him if u hv any question, n he's willing to explain to u again n again until u really understand. Very easy to get C , needa work a little bit hard to get A coz there is a lot of hw, but there is a lot of extra credit too !
Clear, helpful, and loads of opportunities for extra credit and to improve your grade.
Great professor who wants his students to succeed but does not hand out grades. Very clear grading rubric for the class. If you want an A you have to work hard no way around it. I can guarantee you will learn a lot about accounting if you can make it through.
Mr. Maule is very energetic and helpful ! Gonna take his ACTG 121 class this Fall!
I really like the way he teach. He scheduled everything which was more easy for me to did my Hw and prepared the quiz step by step. No like some teachers, they made the schedule but never follow it. Nice teacher! I may choose accounting for my major because the class boosted my confidence a lot.
I appreciated that he tried to make the course more interesting by making jokes. He also didn't make us buy the latest edition of the textbook so I only paid $1.60 for mine on Amazon. This class was easy provided you did all the homework. There was a lot of homework however.
Wish he taught ACTG131. The class was enjoyable although tough. His grading system is fair and explained clearly. One of my favorite professors.
Great teacher. Easy to understand
Great Professor, had a couple of things come up during the semester where I needed to be excused and he was very understanding! Exceptional taste in music as well! ;)
Bruce does a great job explaining the material; he's very clear and will explain the material until you understand it. He also offers a lot of extra credit so don't miss out on that opportunity, it will give your grade a nice boost. The material is pretty straightforward, you just need to put in the effort to get a good grade. No room for slackers!
Always helpful,crystal clear lectures and clear grading criteria helping you to manage your time.
Great professor!!! Always there to help and makes everything very clear. Grade based on 3 midterms, online homework and online quiz due every week.
Professor Maule is a great guy, and offers help all the time if you have time to stay after class and ask questions, which is nice. However, his lectures do not line up with the methods required to do the online homework at all. I was frequently frustrated that the online homework had NOTHING to do with any lectures. Lots of unnecessary work.
Professor Maule is the epitome of a good professor. He is clear, fair, and always available to help. He responds to emails in a very timely manner and is always ready to help students after class. His lectures are sometimes slow, but hey, no child left behind, right?
Bruce will help you with whatever you need and plays spotify in class. What more could you ask for? Easily the most enthusiastic professor I've ever had. Some how possesses the ability to make something as tedious and monotonous as accounting enjoyable.
Super nice professor, he makes the lectures enjoyable and gives a lot of extra credit. Will help you if you ask.
The "Help Me Solve This" button is a great friend of mine on MyAccountingLab, especially because all his homework is on there, and most of it doesn't match up with his in-class worksheets. Same concept, different techniques. His lectures are long and don't involve any type of student participation. Overall an ok professor. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT!!!!
The class is easy as long as you show up to class and do the homework. Make sure to take the quizzes. Homework and quizzes are online and easy if you take the notes. He is very nice and will answer any question you may have.
Bruce is very straight forward, and speaks clear in lectures. There is online homework, test and quizzes and alot of extra credit. He is a very good teacher! will take him again!
Professor Maule was great. He is very clear with what he wants and he really wants you to succeed.
Great class. Expectations are clear and there is plenty of extra credit if you need it. The lectures are very helpful in understanding how to complete the homework assignments. All exam questions come out of the homework assignments, so as long as you do the homework and the extra credit you are sure to pass.
Just took his Accounting 100 class. He's very good at explaining the material and he'll answer your questions when you have them. He gives extra credit weekly but don't go skipping class because he gives extra credit for you coming in too!
Professor Maule shows dedication and passion in teaching.
One of my favorite classes and teachers so far throughout my JC journey. Majoring in Business? This class is a must! so many problems for EC and online! You need to put the hours online to pass this class. ACT 100 is not really necessary if you're going to do all the online hw and work. Definitely learned a lot, and it's a great class!
I just took his Accounting 100 class. He's very good at answering any questions you have in class or after class. He explain the material well, easy to understand his lectures and slides. Very friendly and helpful professor!
He's a great teacher, I had him for Accounting 100 and passed the class easily, but Accounting 121 is a lot harder. I wish he lectured less and had us practice the classwork more, since it's easier to apply what we learned immediately rather than waiting until when homework was due. I feel like I somewhat wasted my workbook.
I don't know why he has such a high rating. Tests are 100% of the grade. The whole class is a lecture and its very hard to learn anything from him JUST talking. The class was full and by the end of the semester there was about 5 people in class....
to get an A or B do all the extra credit you can. practice tests are really helpful.
this is very nice professor.
Professor Maule is one of the best professors at CSM. If you don't have any business or accounting background you need to listen to his lectures, read the textbook, and do extra homework. He gives the opportunity to raise your grade up to 10%. There are midterms and a final test. He has great music preferences, so the class is not boring at all!
Prof Maule is the best teacher for accounting. He is really helpful with homework and tests.
Professor Maule is a very open and helpful teacher. This class is not a free A, it was quite a challenge to do get a grade I was happy with. Most of your grade comes from tests that are based on the work you do outside of class. If your are capable of determining what is important and what the professor wants you to know for tests, you should be OK
Up to 10% in extra credit possible. The final is worth 40% of your grade, which seems daunting, but if you put in the work, an A is very much possible. I only read from the textbook once because I found out that I didn't really need to as long as I paid attention in class. Recommend not skipping. He's one of the best teachers I've had at CSM.
This Professor has been quite amazing! I have had him for two consecutive semesters and all the way through he has had great faith in me! For ACTG121, the starting is cake just do the few homework assignments plus the extra credit, and you will build the fundamentals to pass the harder ending to this class which requires allotted time for study! :)
I've had really bad teachers and I've had really good teachers like Prof. Maule. He takes a boring and sometimes difficult to understand topic and finds a way to drill it into your brain. There is a lot of homework but designed in a way that you retain the information. If you do the homework and the (tons) of extra credit this class is an EASY A.
very very nice person,
Such a nice guy, is really there to help you if you need it and he gives out a lot of extra credit. Teaches the material very well. It is work but you do really learn.
Great teacher
He is a great professor
Goes through everything and makes sure every student understands what they're being taught.
Would love to hear more real life examples.
He reminds that those discussion in class were not just made up by the book, but they actually happen in the real world, so its pretty helpful to lessen your tense in the real job.
He is awesome!!
he is awesome!!!!
Truly a great teacher and always willing to help. He is also very reasonable
I am writing this review after completing Bruce Maule's final exam for ACCT 121. Probably the most prepared professor I've had to date at CSM and structures the class for you to succeed. Offers plenty of extra credit which serves as a quiz/ test prep on a weekly basis. Really cares about the student and wants to see everyone perform well.
Extremely understanding, kind, and patient. Wants all students to succeed and has no problem helping you until you understand the problem. Responds to Emails ASAp and is very reliable.
He is super nice and makes funny jokes every once in a while, he likes to play music before class and is always energetic. He wants you to pass the class, and offers so much extra credit. There is no excuse to not pass his class. Tests are super important, if you have an A and take the final and fail, you can drop to a C
He gives you every opportunity to get your grade up through LOADS of extra credit. If you can't pass the class, it's because you didn't try. He always tries to be helpful and asks if anybody has any questions and take advantage of the fact that he stays after class every day to help. He is one of the best teachers at CSM.
Excellent teacher. Very clear, and loves to help to students. One of the best teachers I have ever had!
Such an amazing professor! His lectures are great and he offers extra credit. I took this class at school but the tests were on Pearson. I think the tests were harder online, it would be nice to take it on paper.
DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!! This professor is not just a nice guy, but he stacks you with a load of homework online that is due in a week! I'm not exaggerating. he then expects you to take an exam from the online where you do your homework as well "pearson" which is like 90% of your grade, avoid the reviews. you'll thank me later.
A great teacher, he gives out lots of homework, but the homework counts as extra credit towards your grade. Really easy to talk to and always eager to help. Homework help online really helped me understand the criteria.
Professor Maule is amazing! I learned a lot. Highly recommend him.
Professor Maule is a solid choice. While he's not the best professor I've ever had, he's fun and easy to understand. He might move a little slow sometimes, but there's something to be said about being thorough!
One of the best teachers I've ever had at CSM! Offers extra 10% of EC throughout the whole semester, no way you can fail this class unless you don't try at all. He makes sure you're able to pass the course
Bruce is a great professor, he always makes his lectures are thorough so it can be a little repetitive. He gives out a ton of extra credit, and the homework isn't too bad since you get unlimited attempts on questions!
An easy class if you take the time to do classwork and homework... He is so organized and is always willing to help you out. Totally recommend any of his classes!
He gives more homework than any professor I've ever taken in any subject. Yes, he gives lots of extra credit, but all the test questions were from the extra credit assignments. So, it's not really extra credit if you want to pass. I suspect he has to do it this way otherwise he'd far exceed the 18 hours of class work per week suggested by the CCCO.
I took the online version of Accounting Ethics at Skyline College (ACTG 169). Professor Maule is extremely responsive to messages and grades assignments quickly. He is also very flexible and understanding of distance learning students as most online students choose to take online classes because of the difficulty in attending classes on campus.
I took the online version of Accounting Ethics at College of San Mateo (ACTG169). Professor Maule is extremely responsive to messages and grades assignments quickly. He is also very flexible and understanding of distance learning students as most online students choose to take online classes because of the difficulty in attending classes on campus.
Professor Maule is awesome! I took the online class of Accounting Ethics in the College of San Mateo for my CPA licensure requirement. Class requirements are well communicated so you know exactly what you need to do before the semester beings. Class material is interesting and informative. Professor Maule is extremely friendly and responsive.
He is very helpful for those of you who want to learn more about accounting. I took his online accounting ethics class and it was fun! His class was up to date and he uses many outside web based important and fun materials. I learned so much and he always provided me very positive encouragement so that I could complete his class lot earlier.
Prof. Maule said many times "I want you to have a great experience in this course" and he meant it. No textbook is used for this class, instead, online resources like AICPA courses, Roger CPA, were used. He sent scholarship program and job opportunities to us. He is very responsive and I even got an opportunity to have dinner together with him!
This teacher is very present, even though i took an online class! He emails you very quick and takes each request serious. Great instructor!
Perfect online structure. The homework does require much time, but he is beyond fair in making sure students can get it done and is always reaching out to students to let them know he is available should we have any questions. Finally, he responds quickly to emails, which is great for online students.
Professor Maule is the best pick for a financial accounting professor. 4th time taking ACTG 121 and I finally made it out with an A. His classes are lecture heavy, attendance is mandatory. Do ALL of the HW assignments, including EC, and I guarantee you will have an A. Lot's of work but they are all exam Q's. EC is up to a 10% grade bump.
If you can do all of those extra credit, online assignments, and take quizzes regularly, you will definitely get an easy A.
Great guy!
Very professional professor!
I took the online accounting Ethics with Professor Maule I was extremely happy with all efforts and help he provided throughout the course, He is extremely responsive to e-mail messages as well as providing all possible solution. He makes online learning experience valuable.
Great guy who genuinely cares about his students.
Solid accounting professor. Dry humor. Only downside is that the online homework (Pearson) is formatted quite differently than the physical homework, and the online homework portal is finicky with entering and grading positive and negative numbers. But you'll be fine if you read the text, keep up with the work, be patient, and think critically.
If you want to be a good student and really learn something, Bruce is a good choice.
Great professor, really cares about his students' success. Will always give extra help if needed. Easy to pass - lots of practice, lots of extra credit offered. Highly recommend
I think it was a very good class, the professor was very helpful and clear at the moment of explaining different topics.
Great online class for those who are taking to fulfill the accounting ethics educational requirements for CPA application. Professor Maule provides interesting and thoughtful materials, gives great feedback and always offers to help. You can start the lectures and homework early and finish the course before the semester ends! Highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing professor for a relatively difficult class! Accounting is not very easy, but professor Maule somehow made things crystal clear for me! As long as you show up, pay attention, keep your phone in your bag, and do your homework, youll go far. Unlimited hw attempts and quizzes are just hw problems, no reason to not have an A online.
This was an online course so there was some self-teaching but what I loved the most was the ability to set my own pace. I had all semester to finish the course but completed it in about 6 weeks. Great course! I highly recommend it.
This was a great course that is offered online. You can set your own pace which was awesome. I finished in about 6 weeks and was able to clear my calendar for other classes. I do recommend buying a used book on financial management to help with some of the problems if you don't buy access to the online book.
This was a self-paced class to learn 10-key so it was pretty straightforward. I finished it in less than 3 weeks. Prof Maule opens up the class in Canvas weeks before class starts allowing you to start before the semester starts. Great class and easy if you do all the assignments.
I've heard great things about Professor Maule and had the pleasure of taking his online ACTG 169 class this last Spring. He provides clear instructions regarding his assignments and grades fairly. He is encouraging to his students and does his best to help those who might be struggling. I definitely recommend Professor Maule.
I have taken both ACTG 100 and ACTG 121. There are no surprises in both classes. Just do all the paper and online assignments and you will get an A+. He is an excellent teacher. He makes this difficult class very easy to understand. He gives amazing lectures and practical examples. He is very helpful and have a great sense of humor.
Bottom line: Accounting runs the world. To be a successful person in America Accounting 100 has to be taken - by students in every major. Best to take it with a professor as good as Mr. Maule.
Bruce is the great teacher always ready to help. If you don't understand something, don't hesitate-he'll be happy to explain it. Lots of homework and extra credit work. If you do all on time, there is no way you'll get a bad grade.
best professor!! he will teach you until you understand the material, he cares a lot about his students so don't hesitate to ask him questions. he also repeats things a lot so they stick with you and you won't forget! i recommend!
The Professor is so good that you don't need to show up to class to get a A+. You can study by just doing homework.
I have taken many courses with this Professor. High quality each and every time Good and prompt support when requested This course was skill development and required time and practice
I just loved his class. The only trick to get an A in this class is to just finish and study homework very carefully. That's it... Every question on quiz and test is from homework. If you are new in this Accounting world and need some expert advice, please do visit him once.
I took Bruce for intermediate accounting 1 and 2. Hes an excellent lecturer and makes complex material understandable. He has a good sense of humor and you will learn a lot. But the homework is time consuming
There are very few teachers left that can inspire a student the way that Bruce can. His genuine passion for the learning process is a unique and treasured asset that no online course can ever replicate. Bruce listens. He knows his students. If you want to learn, take Financial Accounting. If you want your life to be changed, take it with Bruce.
Professor Maule helped me a lot during the past semester and was very responsive answering my questions related to accounting classes. He advised me on what classes would be most suitable for my situation in becoming CPA. He also provides valuable feedback on the essays. His emails are always motivating. Thanks so much Bruce!
Easy grader as long as you hit the word count. The texts are easy to read and enjoyable even if you aren't an accounting major. He often will give you 110% if you put in enough effort, it's a predictable class with the only assignments being a paper per week if that's what you're into.
Professor Maule is a great person and a great teacher as well. Don't get me wrong his class his hard, if you do not do the homework and extra credit you will not do well in his class. But he is always willing to help and gives lots of Extra Credit to help with assignments. His extra credit will give you a 10% boost on your grade.
The reviews for Professor Maule were great and I was looking forward to his class but once I started classes, I WAS SHOCKED! He is a terrible teacher honestly, he doesn't explain anything well at all and does not like helping! WAY too much homework, I spent over 100 hours the entire semester doing homework and hardly learned anything! dnt recommend
my third online class with prof maule. format is same in every class, which helps. courses are well designed, easy to understand, easy to complete. Prof maule responds quickly to email, and he cares about students.
I needed this class to get my CPA license. Course was entirely online, which is what I wanted. I could work ahead and finish the early, which I did in five weeks. Much to my surprise, I actually learned something and found the course worthwhile. If you need accounting ethics take this class.
I really learned a lot in this class. I did not know anything about investing and some topics were hard to understand, but most of the stuff was easy. Write your papers, meet the minimum word count, and you will get an A.
Professor Maule will do everything he can to help you understand and pass his classes. He replies quickly to emails. I have taken him for a few different accounting courses. They were hard. But as long as you take your time and practice, you will get through it.
Classes with Professor Maule were very easy to attend. His love and knowledge of accounting are definitely reflected in the way he teaches. He often cracks jokes and is very cheery and always smiling. One of the best professors I have had. He is also always willing to help and is always available when needed. Id take another of his classes again.
Mr. Maule was a very engaged teacher. He provided great feedback and always answered questions in a timely and thorough manner.
Professor Maule was really helpful with feedback in the essays that were given in this course. It was a great course with very interesting material and I am glad that I took it.
He explains the chapters well but a lottttt of homework and every chapter has a quiz. participation is very important to him and makes us do many problems right after explaining just one type of problem, so it was difficult and annoying because we felt that we had to study them first before being put on the spot and presenting in front of the class
Took mr maule for 100 and 121. Im glad I did. He cares about students, and he is a really good teacher. Lectures clear and helpful. Working with other students in breakout rooms made the class time better, and I got to know other students even though we were zooming online.
If you want an easy pass class, this is the class and professor you should be choosing! Prof. Maule is really nice to students and has been really helpful throughout the difficult semester. His grading is based on My Accounting Lab (MAL) so just do all the homework assigned, do as best as you can on the exams you'll get a good grade.
Great class design overall. I really enjoyed the class material. You will learn a lot from this class, and no exams!!!
Prof Maule gives you the best material available for us to learn within the goals of the class, excellent professor!
When I look for any accounting/ financial class, I take his class. I am sure they will be interesting and good for my education.
This may sound unbelievable to any who are taking ACC100 solely as a requirement, but this class with Mr Maule was FUN! I looked forward to class every time. Mr Maule is very interested in students succeeding. He really enjoys what he does, is interactive, makes passing the class a breeze and is a really funny guy.
Prof. Maule was great. will definitely take more classes with him.
I had a great experience in Mr. Maule's Accounting Ethics class. He is such a supportive and uplifting professor. The materials he selected for this class covers many essential perspectives of the real accounting world. This class not only improved my knowledge but also prepared me for getting into the work field. I learned and had a lot of fun!
Excellent! Love the class and the videos were very interesting. Professor Bruce was always reachable and his feedback were positive and encourage me to do be better on every assignment.
The course was very straightforward. Prof. Maule was very communicative and supportive.
Prof. Maule is a very caring professor. He encourages his students to do well even before the class actual has started. He gives clear instructions and inspires his students to do well and keep going every week. Prof. Maule encourages his students to ask questions. He cares for his students so much that he asked us for feedback to improve his class
I really enjoy Prof. Maule's class so much that I signed up for another class with him. I appreciate his effort in responding promptly to every email I sent for questions. He also encourages his students to keep going and even suggest that we can finish the class early by working ahead of his course schedule. Prof. Maule respects his students.
Very chill class and professor overall. If you read the instructions and do the work you will get a good grade.
Prof. Maule was great! This was an online course; as long as you do the work you should get a good grade. Mr. Maule was very accessible. I was able to email him just about any time, including on weekends, with questions and he would get back to me within an hour or two. He also gave very detailed instructions so there's no guessing.
Professor Bruce I really enjoy the class ACTG169. The instructions in canvas are good and I do not need to ask questions regarding the course. It is a great class.
I really enjoyed taking Professor Bruce Maule's class. While this is a more do-it-at-your-own pace type of class, Professor Bruce has chosen excellent readings about investing and money management which will definitely teach you how to improve your life.
I enjoyed Professor Maule's class. The curriculum and assigned readings on investing and money management build a solid foundation and understanding of the field of investing.
Mr. Maule was a great teacher and I have zero complaints. His assignments were well picked and taught me so much about personal investing. His encouraging and thoughtful feedback gave me the strength to power through his course. 10/10
Really well thought out and organized professor. I took 3 of his classes this semester, he is constantly communicating and keeping you involved in the class even when moved online. A really nice personal note when you do well and he rewards effort and creativity but grades honestly and will call you out for not doing your best work. He cares a lot.
I have studied ACTG118 personal investing under professor Maule's guidance, and he is such an amazing teacher who helped me to understand the concepts and guide me towards achieving my goals. I really appreciate him for all the efforts he took for me as a student.
This course was a continuous stream of practical and easy to follow information about money and investing.
Professot Maule is very passionate about what he teaches so he expects all of his students to do the same and complete all assignments for the semester in order to get a passing grade. The assignments were not hard at all but you do have to put some time into them. The material was great and I learned a lot.
Professor Maule is great, he guides you and tells you what exactly to do in order to get better.
This class was awesome and entertaining, not to mention the continued support from Prof. Maule. Each case study, a mix of readings and short videos, was truly applicable to real life and a great opportunity to revisit audit and accounting concepts studied elsewhere. I would say this class is 110% applicable to any accounting/audit/finance job!
Very supportive instructor
Professor Maule is a hilarious and proactive instructor. I took him this spring and the class was interesting with his corky jokes and long lectures. He explained every topic in detail and we moved quite quickly to the next chapter but he was always available if we had questions or needed help. I recommend him.
He was honestly one of the best teachers! He cares about his students and wants each and every one of his students to get A's! He is super good at responding to emails and always available for office hours. All the in-class practice is the same problems in the hw, and then all the Q's in the hw are on the quizzes, midterm, final (just diff numbers)
Lot's of writing. He's very communicative. Great professor!
Great course! Great course material! Great professor!
The teacher is easy and encouraging. It definitely helps to know your teacher is there to help you, not to get you.
The course requires a fair amount of work but I found it to be very interesting on real life cases which made the assignments easy to complete. Professor Maule is very friendly and accessible and always easy to reach if I had any questions. Would definitely recommend this class to everyone.
A great teacher explains clearly is always available and willing to help is patient always asks if there are any questions
Great class - just needed this for the CPA exam or I would have gone back to school to take more classes with him. Just be prepared to watch/read a lot of material and then write very very detailed essays. The minimum is pretty average but I would say in order to really get As you should be writing more than the minimum
Though only online class, professor offers feedback. Encourages us to ask questions. Willing to assist student. Gives a clear explanation of his grading.
ACTG 169 Online - Accounting Ethics. 8 week course with 8 essays - one essay a week. Each essay can be done over the course of the week or all in one day. It will require a little bit of reading and some short video watching, but the course was overall great. The late turn-in policy is generous and the grading process itself is lenient.
I worked on real-life cases, which made it enjoyable. Writing an essay every week was hard, but the professor always encouraged students with warm words. That is how I got through this course.
Bruce is a great professor, who always leaves a feedback after grading. He remembers his students and motivates them to always give their best. Along with encouraging students for excellent job opportunity.
Great teacher and interactive coursework. Thank you for your mentorship and feedback.
Great professor, I would take his class again. Explained very detail no way to get lost. Be on track and will get great grades.
There are two classes that I believe SHOULD be mandatory for all young students -- PERSONAL FINANCIAL PLANNING and PERSONAL INVESTING. Why? Look up Saving for Retirement in Today's Economy on YouTube and you may have the same reaction that I had. Of all the classes you EVER take - these two will be THE most important. Guaranteed.
Course homepage clear and helpful, Announcements on Canvas tell you everything you need to know. Submit your assignments on time for an easy Pass grade.
Pretty straight forward typing class. He was really responsive and always engaged with students. Would take another class!
He's very helpful and the course is clear and concise. Just follow the announcements and you'll have no problem passing. He has everything ready ahead of time, so if you like, you can also work ahead of time. Super simple. Highly recommend taking any of his courses
Overall Professor Maule had given us what we needed for the classes and all you have to do is just keep up with the work. You even get a chance to start early so you can get the class out of the way which was amazing.
Professor Maule, i a good teacher easy to talk with. Especially on the homework very detailed, everything is on the syllabus. He also remind you before the due date, as long as you finish you homework your good. You can finish the class early as well if you want too.
Online class. You get everything you need on the course homepage and by emails. Prof Maul sends lots and lots of emails. Read the emails, follow the instructions, and you will pass.
My third class with Professor Maule. They all have the same format, which makes it easy after the first one.
Professor Bruce is very passionate about his job and his video lecture is the best, accurate, and clear. If you do your best, you can pass the class. He responded to the email very quickly. I appreciate all the work he did. I think he is one of the best professors.
Professor Maule makes the class convenient for all students
Took ACTG 169 to meet requirement to become CPA. To my surprise, I learned some things and enjoyed the class. Some work, but worth it. Liked eight week format.
Awesome Professor! One of the most thorough Professors I have ever had. Very easy class, very interesting videos as well. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
Professor Maule is responsive, motivating and always helpful. His class content is solid and his expectations are very clear. It was a great class to take for CPA requirements.
This professor took time to the read the essays and was very encouraging. The course material he put together was very interesting and educational.
This course was super interesting and the professor was very easy to work with. It had the perfect amount of work. The assignments were not difficult and there was not too many assignments to do. They are spread out through the semester quite well.
Bruce Maule is wonderful! I highly recommend you to take any of his classes. I took his Auditing class online and it was a really great experience. He is very helpful, encouraging, and wants all his students to succeed!
I took an online class, but Professor Maule sent an email giving feedback after every essay. The class consisted of 10 essays so it was pretty helpful. The work itself atleast to me was interesting for the most part.
I highly recommend you to take any of his classes, he is pretty responsive and encouraging.
I liked that I could start early and finish early. For an online class instructions were clear. Follow instructions on course homepage, read the emails from prof maule, and you will pass.
Easy to talk to his classes are very accesible no book needed everything is very well explained you can work ahead of time he gives very positive feedback he's quick to get back to you
Great teacher very easy to talk to very positive responses the course outline is very clear no surprises you can work ahead
Lots of reading, an essay every week, but it was worth it. Learned a lot. Good professor.
Bruce Maule is an awesome instructor. The class was very informative and I have learned so much! The books he chose were reasonable on amazon both under 15 or 20 dollars. The information is valuable and will helpful to anyone who is interested in personal investing. I highly recommend this class to everyone regardless of your major!
This professor is great and the content is very useful. This class will teach you a lot about personal investing and many life lessons about money. This is a definite must take class for anyone who wants to be more educated about personal investing.
This is a good class where students can learn a lot of valuable knowledge about how to achieve financial goals. Professor Maule is a good professor, and he can provide a lot of help to students in studying.
Great professor, nice and patient.
Gives you the opportunity to finish class early
Loved this professor I took his Accounting 121 class online during the spring semester of my freshmen year back in 2021. He is very chill and cares about his students deeply. He also goes out of his way to encourage you to do well by emailing you directly. I strongly recommend taking this professor :)
There is a fair amount of reading and writing but his assignments are clearly laid out so you can do them ahead of schedule or fit into your schedule. I worked full-time and I like that since I can fit it into my busy working schedule. I also like the fact that it was an online class.
I attended this course in Spring 2019. I loved this class! You read a couple finance books and discuss them weekly. I highly recommend this course. This influenced me to have a Vanguard account and pursue the path of FI (Financial independence).
