Super funny and sweet. Very helpful guy and definitely makes the class comfortable. There is always group work that is always fun and makes the time go by fast. Amazing class.
Personally I did not enjoy taking this class only because it's quite difficult, but take it with Calvin and the process will be a whole of a lot easier. He does his best in teaching you so make sure you ask questions if you're lost... which you might be haha.
He is a good guy but assigns homework that wont get covered in class until after work is due. The assignments are tricky so pay close attention to questions especially since you will be learning from the book on your own. Will help you after you have exhausted other sources and he requires proof that you have done so. Won't take again.
Although he requires you to do homework before actually learning the subject matter, his teaching methods are interesting and fun. I would highly suggest anyone to take this class. Attendance is also key to passing. I have learned more in this class than I have in most of my classes, and that's mainly due to his teaching methods.
Dr. Fogle was awesome, I would suggest choosing him for your Accounting needs. I was afraid coming back to school after 2 years off, and immediately jumping into Managerial Accounting... but he made it entertaining and was a great professor. Plenty of examples, some lectures, do the homework, show up to class (duh).
Really good professor. Must put some work in order to get an A. Please put some effort and you will get a good grade.
He is very funny and cool. Accounting in general is a difficult class and any teacher will have a bunch of homework but he makes it all fun and is very understanding and helpful. There is no problems in the book but the book helps SO MUCH with the homework. You need to try, it is NOT a blow off class. I recommend him for accounting!!
Dr. Fogle is an awesome professor. This is my third time taking accounting and I'm sure I can make it this time. Accounting is NOT an easy course but he lays a path for success. Just go to class and pay attention, you have to actually think about the material but as long as you put in a little effort, he will help you pass.
Favorite teacher I have ever had at Vista. Would highly recommend taking this class. If you show up and do your (easy) homework, it is a pretty easy class. A lot better than any other accounting professors I have heard about.
Mr. Fogle is a really great instructor. Shows a true concern for students grade and participation. Participate and pass.
Not bad but his teaching style sucks. Too hyperactive for the college level. Calls out people to embarrass them like we're still in grade school. Lectures are lame just takes from the book and doesn't give many examples, then flirts/pics on people while trying to crack jokes. Hated going to his class. It felt too much like high school.
Professor Fogle is by far a great teacher and will keep you awake and attentive. He emphasizes PARTICIPATION! so get ready.
The work itself is not the most difficult nor is it the easiest, which is fine. My main warning is that though this professor likes to appear funny and caring, he is not as understanding as he claims. He will leave you with a grade of a 0 despite a perfectly adequate excuse for not being able to do the work. Also can be at times inappropriate.
Professor is unprofessional & talks too much about his personal life- about his dates for example... Just flat out inappropriate sometimes. Makes sexist jokes but points out that they are thinking that will save him, but he still comes off as rude. Knows his stuff, but he doesn't know how to teach it or is just too lazy to...
Lets you leave class early sometimes but wish he would take the full time so you could learn more. Gives homework before we cover the material which doesn't personally work for me. Is vague when you need help and points you to a classmate for help but the person isn't always right so it isn't helpful. He needs to do his job more.
Not the most serious guy but knows his stuff. Wish he would go over the chapter before assigning homework but that is my biggest complaint. If youu are okay with reading and studying on your own take this class.
Awesome Professor that truly cares. Uses multiple ways to learn. I personally liked the extra videos and audio files so I could go back and review the lectures. He gives homework, but provides multiple ways to pass in my opinion. If you want to learn accounting, professor fogle is a good choice. Best accounting teacher out of the three taken.
The class is awesome with the professor recording videos and providing notes. The professor really shows that he wants you to succeed. I enjoyed the way we did some group work but never for a grade just participation. All the assignments are online and the in-class work really helped with understanding. If you want to learn accounting, yes!
Great class and learned the basics of accounting. This class is computer heavy and the first 4-5 weeks there will be 3-4 hours of homework per week. Although there is a lot of homework, you have unlimited attempts so you can get good grades on each assignment every time.
Although you might want it, Dr. Fogle won't be giving out any D's this semester! He makes the content easy to understand and absorb. So getting an A won't be a problem.
Just needs to keep and eye on the test and HW that is online. You need to study for the final exam and also the midterm. If you were to fail the midterm, your grade will go down really fast.
Very good guy knows his area of teaching offers advice i highly recommend him to anyone going in the field of accounting
Dr. Fogle has 3 basic requirements: come to class, participate, participate, participate, and do your work/homework and you will pass. Very knowledgeable, goes above and beyond to make sure you understand what is being taught. Homework can be heavy but it is do able. You want to learn and get an A, then I highly recommend him. Will take him again
Calvin Fogle is a nice and respectable guy. His lectures are fun and keep you awake, but that is not where your grading and learning come from. A majority of the class is homework that is online. This homework that takes a couple hours to do is very easy to learn and helped me a lot. Make sure to get it done to make a good grade in the class.
Class was fairly easy as long as you attend, read, and pay attention. Grading is straight forward and done asap. Great teacher and worth taking.
He's an awesome teacher. I've learned a lot about accounting that will actually help me in the long run. Homework is online and you can do it whenever. If you come to class he makes it impossible for you fail.
This professor is awesome! Beware you will get 6 hours of homework each week the first month. I hated this and I hated him for it, but then I realized it was the fundamentals. Listen to his audio files, you can ignore the powerpoints but watch the video lessons in each chapter. I passed w/o book and dont have to take the final. His method works.
Is a great teacher, and I would happily take again. Need to do the assignments, but if you do you should be able to pass the tests pretty easily. Works with the students and actively keeps communication up even outside of the classroom with emails and extra notes. Great teacher and really supports the students.
Mr. Folge is a good Accounting professor. If you come everyday, participate and do the homework, then you don't have to do a final. The homework gave multiple attempts to get the answer right so you can learn from mistakes. If you plan to be an accountant then this may be a bit too easy, if your a general business major then you'll be fine.
I would say he is an amazing teacher. He is always honest. He has been in the field. He know what he is talking about. I would take him again
Great teacher but the material is something your going to have to set time aside for. Homework is easy at times, test are difficult and time consuming unless you know what your doing.
I really enjoyed his class. He was a great professor who knew his stuff. There is a lot of homework, but if you do it you will pass. If you participate, go to class and do your homework you will get an A.
Basically show up to class and do your homework and you will pass. All homework is online, in the beginning it can be overwhelming because of the new material base foundation you have to know, but nothing to be discouraged about. His helpful and keeps class/lectures interesting.
Very easy class, easy to pass and pleasant to attend. Lots of homework the first two to three weeks but then the qty goes down.
He's a cool guy just not the best instructor. He's a bit harsh and not understanding at all. There is a ton of homework at the beginning of the class and then it lightens as the semester goes on. Pay attention to the homework and don't just skip through them. You'll learn more from the videos than him. He's very specific but oblige and you'll pass
The course was well put together in my opinion. Dr Fogle did a good job stating exactly what needed to occur to be successful. I still remember his motto: Come to class, do the homework and participate... That's all he asked. The homework made the assessments easier. Dr. Fogle always went over the hard parts of each chapter. Awesome
Beyond exceptional teacher, and more. A++. Highly recommend.
The class is very good and the is good balance for class work to homework. Dr. Fogle does multiple different things in class to help you learn. There is not one day the same and he makes it fun to learn accounting.
I took Dr Fogle for Summer Online ACCT 2302. It was awesome. His clear grading and step by step lectures guided me to understanding costs and capital investments. Accounting was hard but I like how he was online in the chat encouraging and clarifying the weekly subjects. Grades were posted very quickly. Would highly recommend.
It was my first time taking an online class at NVC. I am very impressed by how smoothly the class work has been. We had discussions, quizzes, and and labs that weren't that hard to do if you read or study each week. I'll say that Dr. Fogle made it easy for me to learn managerial accounting! I would highly recommend taking him online or in-class.
Dr. Fogle really loves the subject of Accounting, he would frequent our discussion posts to clarify or reinforce ideas that we were discussing about in very clear, excellent answers. He wants you to succeed as much as you do. Don't get behind the assignments, his course is how well you can do the homework and study. He is the guide & mentor
Straight forward class. Just do the discussions every week, the homework on MyAcctLab and then the quiz and you will be fine.
If you actually want to learn the subject matter, then Dr. Fogle is the professor for you. He will provide you with everything you need to succeed and he's there if you need any extra help. I took him for an online class and he far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend taking a class with Dr. Fogle.
very confusing in how he teaches, and how i explains things. do not take him for an online class, no matter if he tells you "there will be no tests, or final." it is all a lie. I unfortunately fell for the "take my online class" speech. i repeat, DO NOT DO IT. I don't recommend this teacher at all to be honest.
Makes it easy to learn and makes accounting more interesting. Show up, participate, do the hw, and you'll pass. As well as probably receive and A.
great teacher, really helps a lot and cares about the course!
he is an amazing person. he really care about the class in general. I will take him for my accounting 2. if you are late, not do your homework you will make difficult your grade to go up. I really had a great time in class.
Do your homework, show up and participate!
Dr. Fogle is a knowledgeable professor who shares great stories, filters the information you won't need (if you're in a flex class) and has great enthusiasm.
Dr. Fogle is very hands on when it comes to his in class participation so you should never feel nervous when asking any questions. He also is very passionate when it comes to getting you to understand the material. He's awesome.
This man does alot for you, he cool 2
Dr. Fogle is a really good professor. There are 3 main things you have to do to pass his class. Come to class, participate and do the homework.
Participation matters, Dr. Fogle cares about his students he wants you to pass. If you try in this class you will pass with no problem. Overall excellent professor!
You need to pay attention and actually take notes in this class, and his notes are easy to digest. He genuinely cares about what he is teaching and about if you learn it or not. When you finally understand what is being taught then the class gets easier to understand. He is willing to work with you and help you out if you need it badly. Recommend
Excellent instruction of accounting. Dr Fogle is patient and is willing to help anyone in need of assistance.
Dr. Fogle is by far one of the best professors I've had in my college experience.
He wants everyone to pass. I recommend FLEX and knock it out quickly. He will explain everything and give you real world examples to relate the information. He balances the class with lecture, in class group, activities, and in class homework.
He does refer to the book. Make sure to attend class because it will pay of in the end for the homework and exams.
You will not be given the grade you desire. You will have to work for your grade. Clear explanations on subjects that will be covered in class. Makes the lectures fun and interactive not just taking notes the whole time . Homework is online so make sure to keep up with that and not miss class you will get the grade you want.
Be on time and don't skip if you want an A. Also do your HW and you will definitely get at least a B.
He is super funny and a pretty good teacher. His class starts out super fast pace so get ready. I had a difficult time but i think he is a good professor.
Go to class, do ALL homeworks, participate, and you should be able to get an A if not as easy B.
I don't feel as though Dr. Fogle genuinely knows all of the material he teaches. He didn't go by his syllabus for the semester, and everything ended up being a mess. Also he did offer extra credit opportunities but in the end didn't even add them to our grade meaning we wasted our time. To those considering taking Dr. Fogle is PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
If you dont go to class you wont pass because he takes attendace for a grade yet all the material & examples/work is online (had to buy a code) so basically its an online class. Oh & dont waste your time on the extra credit, he wont give you any points he states on his syllabus .
Terrible. Most definitely doesnt know half the things he teaches. I couldnt count how many times he would tell us something and the class would have to correct him. He mainly talks about himself the majority of the class time. Also, dont count on extra credit because hell allow the opportunity but wont put in the points.
My experience was very positive with Dr. Fogle. His lectures in class were about 15 minutes. He then provided practice problems where he walked us through. There is a lot of homework in the first few weeks but that made the rest of the semester easy. He did good on helping us. Extra credit for tours and speakers. He was one of the better teachers.
Awesome professor, he offers extra credit, take advantage. Lectures are awesome you will not dose off even in a 3 hour course. Just wish he was in the intermediate classes
Great teacher doesn't let class get boring when it's a heavy lecture day. Encourages outside activities for extra credit. He doesn't lie when he warns about a test being hard, so listen when he tells you what to study!!!
class difficult but good teacher
Calvin is a funny and helpful teacher who gives his best to help students succeed.
He taught with a lot of enthusiasm, and because of that, he made it much more enjoyable to learn the concepts.
attendance is a must, note taking is very crucial for quizes and exams. participation and homework are very important, really good lectures and he is super funny and caring professor.
There's a reason his classes fill up. Great guy, great class! He makes accounting interesting. Will definitely take him for managerial accounting.
A lot of information and a little difficult to understand it all but overall Calvin makes it as easy as possible.
DR. Fogle is a nice professor !! he have energy, and makes his class fun! he give you extra credit!! study!! studyyy for his midterm !! take his class promise!!
Took for Flex class. Gives 5 extra credit opportunities- goes to the overall course grade. Makes class fun- activities. Had powerpoints- posted online. No final- show up every day & do every assignment on time ONLY FLEX CLASSES. Really like the overall experience. FAST PACED get ready to work!
Professor Fogle is a great professor for anyone looking into taking accounting for their program. He is able to hold the attention of the class, making the 3-hour-flex course breeze through very quickly. The first 3 weeks will be very demanding in terms of homework. Be prepared to give yourself 3 hours per chapter/hw, but it does get EASIER.
the class was a little too fast for me, a lot of the information is easy to comprehend, show up to class prepared, he does go through chapters quickly, but ask questions, and he will help you! everything is provided for you to pass the class, take advantage!!!!
I took Dr. Fogle for financial accounting as a flex course and of course it is a fast paced course so there is a lot of studying, a lot of reading, and attendance is crucial. no final if you're here every day and do all assignments. If you are thinking of dropping his class don't! He will work with you he wants you to be successful and pass.
I took dr. Fogel because of the many good reviews he has on this site. However, I regret taking him as my professor. I didnt learn anything throughout my 16 week course. He hardly ever lectured and expected us to learn everything on our own. I would not recommend dr. Fogel to anyone!! Save yourself a headache and take another professor!!!
Dont be fooled by the great reviews Dr. Fogle has. This class was absolutely awful. Dr. Fogle doesnt take the time to teach his students. You will have to learn everything on your own time if you actually want to succeed in the class. His quizzes are very difficult because he doesnt teach you anything that is on them.
If you don't learn well from reading a textbook I would not recommend you take this professor. Most of the learning you will do on your own because he doesn't really lecture. The material can be hard to grasp and I never felt comfortable asking for help. I'm normally a straight A student, but I struggled maintaining a low B in the course.
Excellent. Professor Fogle was a great professor for ACCT 2301. I enjoyed the lecturers and practice problems. He took time to go over the material and was quite frank about all the Homework in the first 4 weeks. Once you get in the groove, it goes well but accounting is a tough subject for me. He made it fun and exiting for a boring subject.
I am not an accounting person, but Dr. Fogle did a great job explaining and providing tutoring when I needed. I loved the online lectures so I could go back and review. He was very understanding and provide extra credit. If you want to learn Accounting, Professor Fogle is a cool dude to learn from... BEWARE: He does like participation.
Invest in a textbook!! There are many times that Dr. Fogle would let students use the textbook in class on quizzes (or even tests) and 3/4 of the class had not even bothered to buy one. The criteria for grading is very clear and if follow the guidelines you will be fine.
Great professor. Funny, energetic, and more down to earth than most other professors. Since accounting is required I recommend taking it with Fogle. Accounting in general is hard whether you take Ralph Mendez or Fogle but This professor makes it fun and is really calm. Don't forget to do the homework and you'll be exempt from final.
Show up to class, don't miss any assignments, participate and you will pass.
Dr. Fogle is a great teacher and easy to understand. He did not give us a lot of homework, but it is important that you do your work and turn in assignments. Definitely, take him if you get a chance too.
His assignments are straight forward. Just do the work and you will pass.
He is a great professor, the only way to fail is to not come to class and not study for the exams , my best advice for this class, is to suggest something to him out loud and on the spot because he just might take it into account and change the material to you benefit.
Wonderful professor to have and doesn't make you drown in reading or homework. Your homework will help you in the long run. Fair and honest professor for feedback and grading.
Dr. Fogle is such an easy going professor. Just show up to class and do the assignments and you will get an A. Also he gives pretty close reviews for the midterm. Easy A.
Good professor works well with you if you need help. Attendance is not mandatory but there is a attendance grade. Easy to pass if you do the work.
Hands down one of the coolest professors in the college. Laid back and truly wishes you to succeed. The course content was well designed to learn, and testing was managable.
Professor Fogle also participated as a speaker for the business seminars that we can attend for extra credit. I highly recommend going to these seminars not only for the extra credit but for the great insights he has regarding starting your own business.
Good professor and very willing to help if needed. Not an easy course to begin with, but as long as your work is completed with obvious effort there is no reason you shouldnt pass.
Wonderful professor and very willing to help if needed. Not an easy course to begin with, but as long as your work is completed with obvious effort there is no reason you shouldnt pass.
Wonderful professor and willing to help if needed. Not an easy class in general but put the effort and do the work you should pass with no problems
Prof. Fogle wants you to do well, so try in his class and he will get you to pass.
Great Professor! Would totally take him again if I had to. To bad I didn't take him for accounting 2301
Dr. Calvin Fogle provides plenty of valuable resources to complete the given tasks. Sure it can be considered a lot of reading and overwhelming information, but if you prioritize correctly it can be done, and fast. I took the Flex class and it flew by, but be prepared to study. Great personality, provides plenty of feedback and very responsive.
Dr Fogle, is willing to help you with anything he only wants to see you succeed. He is very quick to respond to emails and any questions you may have.
Dr. Fogle is the man. He's very personable by applying real world experiences to help understand the material. At one point, he made me feel I could actually do accounting in the future, but I quickly changed my mind, once I realized the complexity of being an accounting. He's an awesome professor and I would recommend him to anyone.
He doesnt really teach you, you teach yourself. Hes super picky on his work. Gets off task a lot and just talks about himself. I would not recommend him.
Dr. Fogle was an inspiring teacher who cares that his students understand the material. Dont be late to the final and no late work policy.
Dr. Fogle is a great professor who makes it a point that every student gets what they need out of him to be successful in the course, within reason. His lectures reinforce the material, so go to class even though its not mandatory. I took a Maymester course, so there was a lot of assignments, but it was still reasonable. Would recommend to anyone.
Dr. Fogle is incredibly helpful and available outside of class. He makes it clear that his main focus is to help you pass. He takes difficult material and makes everything seem so simple. Fogle is willing to go the extra mile if you show you're making an effort. Definitely attend class, even if attendance isn't mandatory.
Dr. Fogle is a very energetic yet personable professor. He breaks down his lectures to make them more easily understood and involved so you truly know what's going on. He offers outside hours for extra help and tutors that stay all day. Although attendance isn't mandatory, it is highly recommended since he gives out important information.
I took the maymester and while it was very fast paced and labor intensive due to the short 2 1/2 weeks of class it was not very difficult to catch on if you put in the required work, if you dont take the class serious i could see how one could struggle. The lectures were good , doing the homework was the most helpful thing in the course
Dr. Fogle is very knowledgeable and approachable. Took his class during Maymester and it has been very challenging keeping up with the material. You start grasping to one concept when we are already on to the next. Be prepared to do 2-3 hrs of homework every night and take long timed quizzes online. Overall, Fogle wants us to succeed. Hang tight.
This class was a lot of work but Dr Fogle did his best to reason with us and if you follow the assignment plan its not that bad.
Calvin makes taking an unenjoyable class bearable. Very active with the students, working hard to create a comfortable work environment for everyone. Is always in a great mood and helps a 3 hr class feel like 1 hr. Recommend Him 100% bc he truly cares for each of his students and their future success.
He does his best to make an extremely boring class as engaging as possible. Sometimes he did not cover everything we were tested on, but that is to be expected in a maymester course. I can't see how this course could have been executed any better within this time.
Dr. Fogle is a very great professor, he cares a lot about his students doing very well in his class and always willing to help. I took the maymester for this course and even though it was 2 1/2 weeks he made the best out of it. He always gives feedback on how you should prepare yourself for the course for the next day. Overall one of the best prof!
Great teacher, made class enjoyable!
Dr. Fogle is a wonderful professor. He makes his class a blend of lecture and homework time. I took the maymester course and he did an amazing job of squeezing a whole semester's worth of content into 3 weeks. There's a lot of homework but it's doable. Show up to class even though it is not mandatory!!
Take him. The first three weeks are time consuming and require a lot of studying but after that it is so easy. He goes out of his way to help when needed and has numerous resources for his online class! BEST professor!
Honestly, if you show up to his class and actually do the homework you should pass, its not a blow of class because you do have to understand the material but tbh it wasn't as bad as I thought it was.
Assignments were east and frequent. the Midterm was the main reason i do not have an A
Calvin is a professor who cares and attempts to really connect with the students. Having taken him for both of my accounting classes I would reccomend him to anyone needing the course.
You will do well in this course as long as you care about your grade, your final grade reflects the effort you put on it. it's not as hard as you think but not as easy either. Great teacher, cares about your learning and wants his students to succeed.
he makes the class very interesting and engaging, but he will make you work for your grade, however he gives a lot of opportunities.
He is a great teacher that you will learn something from whether you want to or not. With real-world applications, life experiences, and a passion for teaching Dr. Folgle is someone that you should not take for an easy grade but gain knowledge in a challenging field.
First half of the semester is a breeze but once midterms come along get ready for all of the projects. You really have to understand the material to get an A in this class. He does his best to help you understand the material and gives great examples during lectures.
He is a good professor. What makes his class hard is the projects at the end of the semester. Just work with your classmates and show up and you'll be fine.
Tests are hard as well as projects. But if you attend class and take time out of your day to review the material you will be in good shape. His lectures are great and he definitely cares about his students. He will make sure that you understand the material and will help you get the highest grade that you could possible get.
Very well structured class. Is straight up about what it takes to pass his class. Give multiple opportunities for extra credit in the for of attending events outside/ inside of campus. Do not take work lighlty, because he will not offe rmakeup grades. There is a lot of work but that is expecting in a flex course.
Very good class. He really wants you to learn the material. All homework, quizzes and tests are online. There's about three projects turned in online.
Do not take the midterm lightly, prepare yourself as much as possible if you want to succeed in the class.
He showed respect and care for all of his students. Make sure you participate in his class even though it's not mandatory, you will definitely learn more! Ask questions when you are confused on some points, he will gladly assist you.
Professor Fogle cares for his students and wants the class to succeed so he will help you in any way he can. I highly recommend this professor, he will make accounting so much easier to understand, and is a fair grader.
Fogle is a great teacher and will teach you a lot if you ask him for help. He sees when students are engaged and really cares if you all do well. Just beware, he DOES NOT accept late assignments of any kind, but he has pushed back homework assignments when he feels that he can teach you more.
Really good professor. He does give a lot of homework and a few projects, but as long as you are studying and you focus he will help you whenever you need it. Offers a lot of extra credit and is very easy to get in contact with. Just try your best and communicate with him and you'll pass.
HE IS THE WORST. I do not recommend anyone to take him. He cancels calls way too much, and when he does teach he ends class early because he feels like it. He definitely picks favorites. Dont let these good reviews fool you. He hardly teaches and barely helps anyone study for the tests. I have an 90 because I am having to teach myself a lot.
Not a good professor whatsoever. He is really disorganized, and moves wayyyy to fast on the chapters. He expects you to put his class first above others. He makes deals with the class the be exempt from the final but then doesnt fall through with the deal. He changes his mind a lot. I do not recomment him. In his class you have to teach yourself.
Calvin is a very good professor. However, you will have to work for you grade. He requires you to actually read the book and do assignments but you do learn. I enjoy his style of teaching but I know many students dont. You do get the option of being except from the final if you go to class every time and do every assignment
Dr. Fogle is a very good professor although he does provide a lot of homework and projects. He doesn't give extensions on assignments but that's what reality is. I recommend to take him if you are up for a challenge in learning. I have taken him for accounting 2301 as well.
Overall this class was a wonderful experience for me, I can honestly say that the lessons I learn in this class will help me succeed in my future career as an accountant. However, I must warn anyone who's considering taking this class, YOU will work yourself to the bone in order to pass this class, there's a ton of HW and the test's are no joke.
For this course you will be awaited to write and do homework on over about 8 chapters. As his student you must be prepared to study the chapter appurtenant to the next lesson before the day of class , as you will heed that new material is discussed every week. The professor is really good at expounding the facets of managerial accounting.
If you are lazy hes not the professor for you but if youre willing to put in work you will learn a lot.
Dr. Fogle is a great professor and this is my second time taking him for an accounting class. He really tries to get his students motivated and will offer a good amount of extra credit to help save your grade.
Very engaged about the class and makes sure you completely understand the material. Not bothered to make sure you understand the material before proceeding.
The class is not difficult unless you just completely blow it off. Showing up to class and participating will be benifit you.
Dr. Fogle is a great professor. He made this class fun and interactive. When you show up, be ready to learn. You defiantly need to make sure to show up to class every day. He gives you a good amount of extra credit to help you with your grade. If I could, I would take him again.
He is very active with his lectures, there is plenty of opportunity to pass. He has this deal for being exempt on the Final Exam, you must show up everyday (do not miss one day at all) and to get a D+ on all assignments. He is very encouraging and genuinely cares about the students learning, while also being able to pass the class.
Took this class online, one of the hardest classes I have ever taken, and I usually take 18 hours per semester, this class was difficult, I appreciate the professor, he was awesome, but the class was very hard, definitely recommend looking for another class to take.
The class was very interesting and Dr. Fogle provides weekly lectures most of the time. He provided extra credit and additional clarification when I asked. Accounting us definitely not my strong area but he made it enjoyable. Its challenging but I learned. He is cool.... but does not bend on extensions.
HE is pretty good but you also have to work for it
Took during maymester, passed with a A. He teaches very well, I would take him again.
Do NOT take this class if you're taking him for an online class. It is the most unorganized class I've EVER taken. Seriously. I'm not sure what he's like if take the class in-person, but it's probably not any better than online. This class is the biggest headache I've ever taken in my life. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Homework overload
I would definitely retake Professor Fogle's ACCT1301 again. He provided all the material in the textbook, and gave students a real opportunity to read and go. back to understand the material. He responds to you very fast and helps you when you are confused about a topic.
I appreciated this class as it challenged me but was not overwhelming with work. Dr. Fogle did online lectures and provided test previews for the Midterm. The work is a lot but it was not overly difficult if you follow his work assignments. I didn't like the Smart book but after week 2 I figured out to make the class smooth. i would take him again.
Good class. Professor was down to earth and worked well. Online lectures and practice was the way. Just take the first few chapters serious as it was challenging on the first test. All in all, good dude for an accounting course. I would take him again.
Great professional teacher
Dr. Calvin is definitely a fun professor! I really enjoyed his class and his method of teaching. If you learn best with repetition, youll love this class.
Great professor! Actually knows how to teach, gives plenty of extra credit opportunities, and is always willing to help out any student. He is also very nice and a great socializer.
so, i took a hybrid class, my class met every friday but he signs crazy amount of homework in the beginning. He gives extra credit that can go towards over all average. He does a good job on explaining some of the material. If you plan of taking him make friends so you can help each other on assignments and also it would help with quiz and final
Very by the book for the first one-third of the semester, however as time goes on the class becomes easier, only if you did the Pre-work and SmartBook though. The Professor is fair but firm with his Extra Credit and helpful but steadfast on the Assignments he gives and the Turnin Date for each one.
calvin is a really good teacher, make sure you show up he gives more creadit for sbhowing up!!!!!! make sure you do the work.
He was a great teacher and funny to talk to. Online made the class difficult, only take it if you're disciplined enough to be self taught.
Personally, if I'd known how bad this teacher was, I never would have taken his class. If you're looking to take this once a week, be prepared to study a lot on your own, his announcements are ridiculously long with only one example per chapter. He gives out extra credit, but 2 quizzes have 45 questions and no review is given beforehand.
Calvin is a great guy who supports you 100 percent in your studies to make you a better person.
I took this as a winter mester course and it was by far easier than ACCT 2301. And with Dr Fogles help he made it way easier. 10/10
Im not sure managerial accounting lends itself to the wintermester course format, but thats not dr. Fogles fault. I really like having a clear understanding at the beginning of what quantity of work a course will require, dr Fogle released assignments in lots of little chunks that seemed to be heavier after the halfway point.
Communication/diligence is key especially if you're taking this class online. Send him emails as soon as you have questions if the lesson videos don't help. If you're not prepared to put in the work don't take this class because there's A LOT of work. I would recommend taking it on site instead of online. Make sure you have time to go to tutoring.
Unfortunate Dr. Fogle does not respond to emails promptly. It's not easy getting a hold of him so a lot of the time you're on your own. I wish I had the same amount of time (a day) to complete the exams as I do the daily assignments and more. It's a lot of effort and work to get through this class!
great teacher
This class was heavy loaded with work because it was a three week class.I strongly believe that if it was another professor besides Fogle, the class would have been extremely stressful. Mr. Fogle will structure the class for you to pass it all you have to do is try and passing is guaranteed.
Dr. Fogle's lectures do not match the HW or tests. HW and tests have alot of inputs that are timed. The best way to complete these assignments is with a group at the bus tutoring cntr. If you can not find a group and you are at home, have a family member take pics and repeat them to you or if you have two screens or HDMI to a TV will help alot!
I took 2302 flex online. Most online homework is unlimited "check my work," his are 1 time only. Midterm was less than 3 wks into the class! Really long exams that you can hardly finish in the time limit. Gave a huge project - 12 pages of instructions. Poorly recorded lectures, very muffled. Was really sick during COVID-19 and gave no compassion.
Large workload, however it is very clear Mr. Fogle cares about his students
Professor gives great feedback and gives extra credit. Wants his students to pass.
I took Dr. Fogle for Spring 2020 and I thought he was an amazing professor, great communication, and care for his students. Assignments, discussions, and quizzes were manageable. Highly recommended. If I have the chance I would take him again for another business class.
He's very good, and caring. I took his online stats class this spring, and the workload is a lot but just be sure you have time for it. I really wish he would make the deadlines on sundays by midnight, but most were by thursdays or saturdays. Most online classes give you till sunday by midnight. Overall, it's simple enough to follow and to pass.
Took Stats online with him. It was not a bad experience. Solid teacher who is willing to help if you ask for it. Can't go wrong!
Dr. Fogle is willing to help if needed. He provides feedback and allows various opportunities for extra credit over the semester. The workload is manageable and is usually due by the end of the weekend. As long as you put in some effort you should have no problem getting a good grade.
Before taking this class I was a bit worried how it would work online. However, the course was quite fair. The layout was easy to understand and the lectures and/or power points were easy to understand. Also, Professor Fogle was available when you needed him and will help you out. He definitely understands and cares for all of his students.
Overall great professor who is very clear in directions during notes and while completing assignments.
Good professor, genuinely cares for the success of his students. Lectures everyday, but tells you what to write for your notes. Projects can be a bit challenging, especially if you don't look at them in advance. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you don't want to take the final, come to class everyday. Accounting is a tough subject, not an easy A.
Dr. Fogle is a great professor and truly cares about the success of his students and his course material. He is well organized and you will always know what is expected from you, he does assign a lot of homework but its spread out where it is not overwhelming. If you complete the assignments this class is a joy.
Engaging lectures, easy grader, I flunked the midterm after the Rona messed everything up. He is pretty cool though
Dr. Fogle is great! He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed in his classes. In my experience, he's really good about providing a prompt response if you reach out to him for help or have questions. My advice would be to not put off his projects until the last minute.
The subject is just hard, If you are not a math or formula person. But Professor Fogle was ready for any question and always offered extra help. I am visual so I had to order a copy of the book even though he provided a pdf. Loved the youtube lectures, really helps.
Professor Fogle is a consistent teacher.
Great Professor.
I really enjoy Dr. Fogle as a professor! He definitely gives students plenty of extra credit opportunities, which is great. Accounting 1 with him was great, but accounting 2 was a little more rough.
I took him online and he was very responsive on emails and questions. He gives extra credit and does not grade heavy. He is understanding and works with you if you make the effort. It is a tough class so stay on task on you should be fine.
Professor Fogle is an amazing person with a great personality. He really cares for his students and is willing to go an extra mile to help us. He also offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. However, he doesn't accept late work so be careful.
This class was well organized and I really enjoyed the professor, their is a lot of HW assignments that are based of Smartbooks. But you really learn alot.
Bus Stats is tough. I wish this was a course given in a classroom instead of online because the textbook was confusing in my opinion. You'll need a graphing calculator. There are improvements that can be made to help the class become more comprehensible but I'll contact the professor directly to offer suggestions. He's open and willing to improve.
Great teacher. Clear instructions given for assignments, and clear grading criteria. Definitely would take again.
Very clear on grading. And there are a lot of assignments however it is an online class. I do wish it had been available for in class. Only recommendation is powerpoint to the professor could help a lot with his explanations. You will read the book a lot and need a graphing calculator.
Good professor, which grading was a little more lenient but understand why it's not.
Assignments and grading criteria were clear and well laid out in advance. There are weekly discussions and quizzes, multiple projects, and exams. You will read the book and need a graphing calculator, but overrall Professor Fogle is well organized and cares about his student's success.
This is a great class to take. You learn a lot of usful information. Teacher grades very fair. Teacher is very good at communication with you!
This was a very hard class. A lot of math involved. Teacher was great at communication. Grades were very fair. Teacher gives your options to earn extra credit!
He is super nice and inspirational. I took him for managerial accounting. He always explained things super well. Accounting was super hard, but I learned a lot with him.
This is a great class to take if you are looking for an easy online course. You learn a lot of information while not being overworked. Teacher grades extremely fair and he is good at communicating with you. Professor Fogle is an excellent choice as a professor.
Excellent Professor. Keep in mind, you will have to pay attention, read, and do some studying to keep up with the course work. If you miss lectures - you are bound to get behind if you don't read the chapters and keep up with the class. Easy to fall behind, extra credit is available from time to time.
Graded strongly on papers for managerial accounting. He provides how long the essay must be, but not good examples or grading rubrics as to what is expected, considering they are not traditional essays. Shooting in the dark as to what he expected. Yes, my grades were high, but I have no idea what I was doing. Also, provided no detailed feedback.
He is good at explaining everything in detail and won't hesitate to help a student out. However, I wouldn't recommend taking him online, as he is more helpful in person.
I have taken 3 classes with Mr. Fogle at Northwest Vista, he is a great guy, very caring, and also manages his classes to be VERY laidback. If being laidback is not your style for an academic setting I would not recommend.
I have now taken a class by Dr. Fogle twice: ACCT2301 on campus & ACCT 2303 online. In class, lectures are great. Online, you receive minimal lectures. You are provided the assignments but minimal direction. There's opportunity for extra credit & auto-passing the final but you must put in 300%. Lots of math. Don't recommend if your life is chaos.
The coursework and lessons were straightforward, but sometimes the assignments would not be posted until halfway through the week. Beyond that, he was always willing to help through email correspondence. Overall a good class though.
He was a cool teacher at first and his lectures were easy to understand. Then COVID-19 and we switched to online. DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR ONLINE CLASS! He was so unorganized, the due date was all over the place. At first, we had to look at two different platforms if we had homework due. He said we wouldn't have any papers and we ended up doing a 4pages
Calvin Fogle is really great professor, I would totally recommend taking his class. I wouldn't say he gives out a ton of work but enough to keep you busy. Everything is pretty easy if you pay attention to readings and examples. He is also good with communication feedback and always available to his students needs.
Great class, clear lesson plans that you can take at your own pace! I just wish some of the grading criteria was a bit more explanatory, I felt like some details were hard for me to decipher.
I highly recommend taking Professor Fogle's class!! There is a lot of work for this class regardless of the teacher you get because its a difficult course. It is time consuming, but if you stay on top of things and complete the work, you will get the grade you want! I was scared to take this class, but Professor Fogle is very helpful.
Good teacher, he is very detailed in his lectures and readings. Quizzes are simple and not too complicated. Very good class that helps you learn, but isn't stressful.
This class was easy, and so is the work load. The only reason I got a C was because I missed one of the projects that weighed heavily on my grade. I actually missed another assignment and still passed. Just do things ahead of time and you should be fine. The assignments and quizzes aren't long. As a Professor he's very nice and helpful. 8/10
No extensions. Okay with communication. Projects worth a lot.
A lot of video uploads to explain your knowledge on the course topics instead of papers. I loved that!
This class is very organized from the very first day. As long as you complete assignments and keep track of due dates you will be able to make a good grade. Procrastination isnt a good idea in this class as there is no late assignments. 10/10 would recommend this class.
The first few weeks of class we had assignments due every other day this is during Covid. His online class is disorganized, the chapters are out of order. Some key concepts there are only power points. I would not take his class again. The home work was heavy 20 to 30 stats questions very time consuming.
He changed the structure of the class to be entirely online on the very first day of the semester. I registered for accounting in-person because I knew it could be tough to learn, and he completely changed the course so we never met face-to-face. I struggled so much because of this and it was so difficult to reach him outside of class!!
Absolutely one of the worst professors I've ever had. He disappeared from the online class for about a month, with no response to any student's emails. I felt like I was self teaching myself! There was no syllabus referencing what was being covered for the week. Never knew what chapter of the book we were on, this made things difficult.
Not many lectures. Self teach 90%+. On schedule though and you can work at your own pace. Final is 30% of overall grade. Offered up to 7% EC towards overall grade. He is easy to contact and helps fast, but note the class is almost all online. Satisfying to get grades back from projects/tests though. Stay organized and study and you'll get an A
Must turn in assignments in order to pass. Accounting wasnt my favorite so they class was 10x harder. Take good notes. This professor is very understanding and is free whenever you need him.
The class was fully online and had an excessive amount of homework. If you dont have hours to set aside just to do homework without any help, dont take this class. Accounting is not my favorite subject so I knew I wouldnt love this course, but it was worse than I expected.
He is very understanding about everything that you have questions about. Very great at explaining the material aswell.
Dr. Fogle was great! He always made himself available even for us taking him online. He offered extra credit, zooms and quick to respond. My only regret was not taking him online for for a 16 week session. I definitely recommend taking him
A great professors! I enjoy his lectures and the opportunities that he provides for his students. I would definitely take one of his classes again!
A great professor. His lectures were very informative and he gives his students many opportunities to succeed. Will definitely take a class of his again!
This class was a lot. Seems he is better with the easier courses, but this is not an easy course imo. There was something due everyday or every other day, you'd think it was a flex course. Not much help when I reached out. The text is a mess and is very unclear. I had to look up videos for everything because I understood nothing with just the text.
Do not take this course. Unusually large amount of homework. Terrible at communicating with students.
I had a strong interest in accounting and received an A in my financial accounting class with a different teacher. Took Fogles managerial accounting class and literary made me lose all interest in the subject. He is a terrible teacher, gives too much homework. I am not sure where they found this guy but he shouldnt be teaching.
Very disorganized, very excessive amount of homework.
I enjoyed Dr. Fogle's Flex class. I was not interested in accounting bit He was good in teaching the class assignments. It was a fast pace in 8 weeks but the lectures and extra credit was awesome. Just stay on top of the homework and you will pass. I took hom for Business Principles too and he teaches each differently but I enjoyed both.
Very straight forward with work and very encouraging throughout the semester. Gave good instructions and overall an made class so much easier.
Professor Fogle is a wonderful professor! His online class is very simple, you just have to read the modules! Everything you need is in the written models and PowerPoints. He always sent the class motivating messages to keep us going, its really thoughtful!
Great professor. He always respond to your emails in a timely manner.
I wish there were more assignments and that the formulas involved were more explicitly stated. I wish that the answers in the models had explanations attached with a rundown of how this affects the company for better or worse. I wish I could have taken better notes. Mainly I wish I had more time and better ways to practice and prepare.
Dr. Fogle's online business class was great. Although there was homework due every other day, it was quick and easy assignments. As long as you put forth effort you'll be just fine in this class. Only complaint is he doesn't take late work, which was a bummer considering sometimes life happens even if the problems are small.
Professor Fogle is easy to reach and talk to. His assignments are a work load but if you stay on track throughout the semester and do the homework, you should be fine.
He is really attentive to his students. Always responded quickly and was available for help. Great professor!
I took an online course. Professor Fogle seems to genuinely care about the material that he is presenting. He is willing to help to ensure that you are successful in his course. I can honestly say that if you do not pass, it is solely due to a personal lack of trying.
I have takin Professor Calvin Fogle before for Accounting. Accounting was a really hard class to understand, but he provide lecture videos that really helped me understand the class better. I was excepting that for BUSI 1301 but no lecture videos were shown. So it was bit more of struggle with the reading he provided. But he gets you to learn.
Took this managerial accounting class as a flex course. The assignments are not that hard, his projects are what really matter and can drastically effect your grade. As long as you put effort though into the projects and do the minimum he is asking you will receive a pretty good grade. He is not a tough grader.
Great professor! Always responds to messages when you have a question about assignments great class !
great teacher. clear instructions. he made this class easy for me. thank you professor Fogle
Was overall a good class. Don't miss any assignments because there are no redeos. You're given plenty of time to do quizzes and assignment and finals.
I took Dr. Fogle's business principles class as an 8 week summer course. He released all the work by the 4th day of class minus the final and 100% self paced. I did have questions on about three assignments and he was quick to respond even on weekends. I would 100% take a class he leads in the future.
Professor Fogle made this class enjoyable to dive right in. His assignments are very to the point, doesnt ask for anything crazy and he is open to students suggestions. If you dont do your assignments, like any class youre bound to fail, but he wants to see your effort. He responds and grades quickly. I 100% would recommend his class to anyone.
Great professor
This a tough class with time intensive projects. I found the project work to be challenging and can see that it will be helpful in the business world. Only feedback is some of the instructions were not 100% for an online class but when asked he always clarified - so if needed you should just ask.
Personally I thought the class was laid out well. Just being on top of assignments and making sure due dates are met. I only struggled because of improper time management and I actually took a two week vacation in the middle of it, but all in all great professor, easy to understand and overall great class
I accidentally used the wrong question for a midterm and the professor gave me a zero. Bringing my 80 to a 55 and the professor was not empathetic towards helping me fix my grade and told me to just drop the class.
I took professor Fogle for accounting & statistics 2305. The 2305 class was not organized from the beginning. There was no clear course outline or assignments. Lots of work between the 2 classes. Homework Monday - Sunday and multiple assignments due per day. Assignments would be added mid week and due next day. I would not recommend this professor.
This was the most disorganized class I have ever taken. There was no clear direction on the assignments. It was inconsistent and when I would set up a call or zoom, he would not show up. The whole semester felt like a 16 week flex class and offered zero flexibility for an online course.
Please do not take this class if you need to take Business Statistics. The class was messy and did not help students. He was not flexible and did not do much to help only at the very end... Midway through the semester he changed the curriculum style without notice... I should have dropped this class and not wasted time.
Very informative, easy to understand, knowledge in his field, cares how well you do in class.
Took his Business principles class for a flex term. He was a great professor, very clear about what he expected from you, and always responded fast to my questions. I would say his class is easy to pass as long as you read and do whats expected. Id recommend him as a professor!
I have taken this professor for both Busi-1301 and Busi-2305. Day and Night comparison to the two. 1301 was minimal interaction with him and at your own pace (it was a flex 1 course) and I received an A. 2305!! A 3 PART MID-TERM WHICH INCLUDED EXCEL SPREADSHEETS AND A 5-7 PAGE REPORT AND 30 QUESTION TEST (PROCTORED). Highly do not recommend.
Dr. Fogle is very thorough and passionate about the curriculum. I enjoyed his enthusiasm. His teaching method is lively, which tremendously helps me keep interest. He is available when you reach out, prompt responses, and fair.
I am so grateful for Professor Fogle, he's one of the very few people that understand how intricate online classes can be and has a wonderful system that can easily be navigated. Good notes are the most important part of this course. Everything that is covered during the week gets covered in the assessments, there is no second-guessing yourself TG.
Professor Fogle is an easy going person, nice, and respectful. He is strict with his class but at the same time very comprehensive if you have any issue with the topic that you are learning, and he will take his time to help you. Be ready to read the material and complete the project assignments because those will give you a lot of points.
If you are looking for an online class with FLEXIBILITY find another professor!The amount of homework is insane he publishes homework due throughout the week and only gives you a few days to complete it.WHO WANTS WORK DUE SATURDAY.His midterm is extremely stressful 4-page essay and excel sheet and don't think about emailing because he won't answer.
unless you already know statistics find another professor this class was a mess. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
no...
I took his face-to-face class. He is easy on grading. He did not take attandence as a part of grade, but make sure you come to class. It will be easy B+ or above.
This class is cool. Dr. Fogle gives you everything you need to succeed. Weekly modules, practice problems, and helpful videos. He communicates clearly. No late work is accepted, so time management is important. But if you stay on track, all is good. Extra Credit! Overall, a tough but rewarding class with a professor who really knows his stuff.
