i'm taking his online ACC201 class, I wish i read his reviews before i took up that class because he really is no help at all. If you email him, don't ever expect a response. Your learning is entirely based off of what you can comprehend off of wiley plus and if you got any questions too bad, google it

This was the worst online class ever. It was very disorganized and we had textbook website & communication problems. Some of it was not entirely the Prof's fault but still, it was very frustrating. Prof. Tan sounds like a nice guy in person, but there was zero input/guidance from him - DON'T take this course online.

His online class was bad. There was no updates on assignments leaving the class to wonder WTH? About 3 weeks before class ends, we find out he was in China. attempted to cram way too much in the last weeks. At least he was very lenient. Even though there was info we should of asked, most of us did not ask until 2 days before the homework was due

Couldn't understand him, he's got a strong accent and stuff. Class was boring, and he was unorganized yet helpful when you asked how to do HW problems. The class overall though was difficult. It's time consuming (especially doing homework) so if you don't have time, don't take accounting.

He is an okay professor, just really confusing on his lectures sometimes. If you truly love accounting and into then maybe you'll survive in his class. He is smart and sometimes he forget that he's teaching a lot of beginning students. 4 tests and one group project which is stupid, expect homework assignments to be confusing. Go to study sessions!!

Mr. Calvin Tan is one of the best professors I've had so far, he's very funny, nice, and caring. Although the class was difficult because it's during summer it can be manageable if you manage your time wisely, make sure you do all the mymathlab, in class assignments, and projects fully.

This course alone is very difficult and having to be completed online is horrible. The work load is alot even it being an accelerated course. I understand the course is meant to challenge you but make sure to dedicate more than 10 -12 hours a week for this course to read the material, watch the lectures, and complete the work.10/10 dont recommend

This class was definitely difficult, however Professor Tan was very available for help. I took this asynchronously over the summer so the pace was very fast like any other summer class. If math is something you struggle with I would not recommend taking this over the summer because there is a new lesson and homework pretty much every other day.

The class material isn't hard and the work is manageable. It's the exam that kills your grade. The time limit is just inconsiderate! I've managed 6-courses with 2 writing intensive classes, bus. law and precal, bio, worked a FT job, got a 4.0 gpa, and this one summer course I gave the same amt of studying and probably getting an C!!! :0P

Professor Tan was nice, he gave us answers if we need them. However, the amount of workload is insane. I understand this is a summer class but we had homework almost everyday. Not only that, but we also had forum posts. I personally feel like the forum posts are not necessary. Overall, you really need to work for it in order to get a decent grade.

Professor Calvin is very helpful outside of class and the lectures are easy to understand and follow so that if you have any thing you don't understand you can email him about the topics that are covered. Homework assignments and exams are on Wiley Plus. The PowerPoints were easy to understand because it is very organized into different categories.

This course is extremely frustrating & I would not take this course again especially online. There is a lot of work & group work which is impossible to get done. I feel like I am basically teaching myself. Professor Tan does not put in any effort to make this class run smoothly. Uploads videos of other teachers teaching & you figure out ur owngrade

Professor Tan has lot's of homework, but it is to be expected when taking an accounting course. He is very helpful and has lots of prerecorded lectures that he has posted through the Laulima site. If you don't keep up however it is very easy to fall behind.

Professor Tan is one of the best math teachers to take. All the homework is open from the start of the semester, there are weekly forums, and 3 exams. But nothing too difficult it is very manageable, and easy to keep up because of the weekly checklist given. Not to mention gives out a couple of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.

He is one of the most caring instructor who responses to all of your emails, and coordinate with your team project from other courses you take that need guidance or helping you to get involve with an internship opportunity as well.

Prof Tan is simply great. Accounting is really not my thing but he provided SO MANY lecture videos for this online class that it made it bearable to go through such a tedious subject. He is a MUST-TAKE if you are looking for Accounting classes at KCC. His classes fill up super quick! So make sure you try to get his class(es) early!

Maybe this professor would have been better outside of a remote learning environment, because I had to learn most of the class through videos of him reading off slides. I was lucky to have already learned most of the concepts already in high school, because I practically taught myself in this class. The MyLab program you use is also terrible.

Professor was practically absent, aside from the videos he posted. Responded slowly. Cengage was used for majority of the course and grade, but the material that he provided himself (a few quizzes, midterm and final) was such a mess. Wording was unclear, and on the midterm he asked us to do something from a chapter we hadn't learned yet.

It was a little hard for me. If you want to take his class it would be better to take an off-line class. There are three big exams for the mid-term and final. We have to do a group forum thing on laulima, it is due every Tuesday and every week homework from Pearson. It was a little overwhelming for me cuz I took 6 classes. However, He is passionate

We used WileyPlus for a majority of the work in this class. Wiley does help explain things and Professor Tan also has videos and other resources we can use in order to understand things further. Wiley definitely makes you work and accounting can be tedious in general but overall it's fine if you do the work.

We used the textbook publisher's website for most assignments and they were all accessible from Day 1. As long as you kept up, you could work at your own pace. When I knew I would be busy with personal things, I worked ahead so I had a couple weeks "off". I didn't really need to communicate with the professor since everything was already laid out.

I like professor Tan as a person, but to have him as a teacher for my online class was the most terrible experience I ever had studying at KCC! Prepare to study with having no instructor or mentor in the class. We struggled to overcome obstacles by not having answers to our questions from the professor during the whole semester. Always too busy.
