To be fair this class does require a lot of work on your own outside of the classroom, however, I dont feel like his lectures help. He purposely gave class activities (which are a participation grade) 3 class classes in a row, so be cautious about missing a class. Its just too much material to cram for so go to the accounting lab for help.

In my opinion passing or skipping this class doesn't matter because of how challenging the material is. The only time coming to class will help you is if there's a class activity other than that going to SI is more helpful. The teacher is ok, he just isn't a great teacher.

Professor Potts is a professor who gives very boring lectures. People stopped showing up to class later into the semester because his lectures were not very informative, and pretty much everyone in the class used the textbook in order to learn the material. The course is already difficult and having Potts makes it even more difficult.

Lectures are extremely boring, homework assignments are difficult, 3 tests for entire course which are very hard and tests are not related to problems on Wiley plus and examples he posts. I had to teach my self all material with a little help from lab. In short, don't take this prof for acct 2102.

This professor is not a good teacher. I got a fairly good grade in the class because I was already good at accounting. The professor gave us a quiz and almost everyone got a 0 on question 4, over 12 students emailed the professor complaining that the content for question 4 wasn't in any of the previous homework and wasn't in the coursework either

He did not communicate. The quizzes were ridiculous. There was no way to truly prepare for this class.

Worst professor I have ever taken. He did NOT teach a single thing, he had another professor's videos uploaded for us to watch. The only thing he did was a "lecture" online that was POINTLESS!! Wiley plus does all the grading (test/hws), so incredibly lazy.. makes me want to be a professor, gets paid to do nothing.

Casey Potts is by far one of the worst professors at GSU. He focuses everything on the 3 midterms throughout the semester but doesn't bother to teach them. Instead, he makes us read through powerpoints that have nothing to do with the actual test, and then gives around 1.5 hours to do a full accounting test,as he seems to think were CPAs. Pathetic.

doesnt give bonus points, tests are way harder than the classwork and homework, and doesnt teach well. avoid taking this class and choose and different professor.

extra credit ONLY IF 70% of the class reviews him. NO LOCKDOWN BROWSER. At GSU you don't have a choice but to use the same service (WileyPlus) as every other Acct professor. WileyPlus gives you the assignments and exams with little to no professor influence. The exam and HW is made by ONLY WileyPlus. Have fun and remember you don't have a choice.

Honestly one of the worst professors I've ever taken. Lectures are just practice questions that get posted online and are mandatory. Freebies attendance quizzes are random. Wiley should be easy to do. The problem is the 3 exams. His lecture is nothing like the exams. I recommend using Wiley to practice since exam and wiley questions are similar.

He does not offer extra credit. He has exams on Saturdays from 1-3. He doesnt allow any formula sheets on exam, he expects you to remember everything. He doesnt care about his students enough!

Has online videos for each chapter that are understandable like ACCT 2101, but even with multiple pages of notes I still tanked the WileyPlus exams. When I reached out for help, my questions weren't really answered and my follow-ups were ignored. Don't make the same mistake I did, try another professor out.

DO NOT TAKE THIS ONLINE. Terrible teacher He sounds very condescending when lecturing and gets mad if we don't know the answer His lectures aren't helpful at all so I end up having to teach myself everything Tests were so hard and he gave us no time to even go back and check our answers so you can't cheat if you wanted to Take it in person Trust me

He is an uncompassionate and unaccommodating teacher. He uses graded in class activities as a way to force students to pay attention to his god awful, drawn out and boring classes. He doesn't follow the syllabus, and is a liar. Don't take his class.

Worst professor for accounting. Does not properly lecture. Gives only the hw as your best form of studying and his PowerPoints are terrible. They are practically a copy of the book and not necessary for the exam. Expects you to watch his videos which are the same thing as his lectures(PowerPoints) and reads them to u in class. All he does.

This is probably the HARDEST class I have ever taken. You are expected to do well on everything since there are very few assignments. He expects you to just know how to do the work without actually teaching and is also extremely boring, If there is another professor available, please take their course instead. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM!

usually a straight A student but he didn't teach, tests were hard, lectures were meaningless, hardest business course at gsu, take literally anyone else

It's hard to understand problems because he doesn't go into detail a lot of the time. Students will ask questions in class, and he'll ask the class to answer rather than answering the question himself. He talks a lot about how to prep for the class and how to succeed in the class, but not enough time on the material. The videos weren't helpful.

Good luck lol. This was one of the worst professors I had and I've been at Georgia State for 3 years.

literally so rude, entitled, and uptight. take a chill pill fr, it is never that serious

has an attitude problem. not lenient at all, doesn't care about the success of his students

Absolutely terrible lectures. He doesn't go over any material, just plays review games that cover the most basic parts of the material. His exams are too difficult compared to the material he covers. Doesn't do much and doesn't really put in any effort to teach. won't be any easier than taking it in person. Take a different, in-person lecturer.

Mr. Potts is not good at explaining material in depth. His lectures in person and online are always so broad and not helpful at all. He just reads off the PowerPoint and never explains it thoroughly.

I would never take Casey Potts again! Tests are on a Saturday, which was crazy... You have to remember every single formula for each chapter which is horrible! He did not have any sympathy for anything when I emailed him about different problems with the class. Choose a different professor!

Only 2 exams and 1 final that is cumulative. This class is so hard but if you do well on the weekly Wiley plus homework assignments, it is possible to pass this class. Lectures did nothing, the practice problems are what helped. Also, the study guide and practice problems that he posts are the exact same ones from the exam, USE THEM bc they help!!

Professor had a tendency to set tests that were unreasonably challenging, making it nearly impossible to pass. The level of difficulty seemed disproportionate to the content covered in class, leaving students feeling overwhelmed and unprepared. I would strongly caution students against enrolling in courses taught by this professor

Honestly, one of the worst professors I have had. Lectures just confused students and he would not answer any of my questions clearly. The exams were hard but not unreasonable, you can pass if you study extensively. Also, he was very unwilling to accommodate me in terms of testing and scheduling after letting him know I had a personal emergency.

Avoid and get a grant to take an accounting class through another GA State campus. Exams are on Saturdays which is actually crazier the the course itself. Accounting is hard but getting a professor who just wants to go through the motions and not really teach is brutal. Avoid this professor and accounting as a whole on ATL campus.

his lectures are not helpful. He does not teach in depth. Everything is like go learn at home by yourself. Talks in circles and wants you to get what he saying.

Very bad with technology. Doesn't teach good. He just lectures and goes off on meaningless tangents every topic. If you take this course don't expect to come out of lecture understanding anything. You're better off self-teaching yourself the material online.

He takes off 50 points for late work, but he waits the last minute to put in grades, he waited one day before grades were due to post them. How are you wait one day before grades are due to posted them but take 50 points off for late work. His exams are Saturday, and his final is in person on Saturday which sucks. He doesn't response to emails.

This professor is something else. He is okay, but a horrible professor. The class was divided into the following categories: 1. Pulls up attendance code 2. Goes off-topic about something and teaches for a bit 3. Top Hat for the rest of class Your best bet to excel in this class is to self-study and complete the Adaptive Practice (AP) questions.

AVOID THIS MAN AT ALL COST. worse professor ive had in my entire life . keeps talking about how math is not important but the tests are all math , you get little to no time for the exams . seriously the worse professor ever . if you have no other choice , get ready to teach yourself the material . if you can , take this class elsewhere.

A great guy but not a good professor to handle over 300+ students. Class is only 1 hour long and should be longer for the amount of content and depth it provides. Expect to do the work yourself and learn the material. Use Wiley PLUS!!! It isn't easy, but it can be done. Don't expect help from him as he will send you to the accounting lab.

Alright, I'm not going to beat around the bush, I'm going to keep it a buck 50. On Buddha, this is worst class I've taken at GSU. Terrible experience, migraine inducing. The tests are hard, even with the curves. Trying to get an +A in the class is like asking a fish to climb a tree. LOTS of work. Casey is a nice guy, but doesn't teach.

Ignore the good reviews. Class is a 0/10. Do not take it unless you have to, and if you have to, be prepared. Tests are nothing like the reviews or study guides. Lectures are unimportant, he doesn't teach AT ALL. Casey is a nice guy, horrible class. To anyone reading, AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COST IF YOU CAN, take this as your primary warning

Potts may be nice, but he is an awful professor. Gets mad at students for asking normal questions, terrible with tech and LOVES talking about himself. There are classes where he goes through his entire career history with no teaching or learning. Rarely opens the "mandatory" attendance and gets mad at students for asking about it. DO NOT TAKE

If you are thinking of taking this professor, I recommend waiting or taking someone else. You will be teaching yourself all of managerial accounting, which is harder than financial accounting. Especially in the Summer! Listen to your peers and the reviews on here! This professor lacked structure and organization in his course. Complete disservice.

Lectures and office hours are useless. TAs are great. If I had to redo this course again, I would go to the accounting lab like it was an extra class. Take with another professor if you are able to do so. That being said, I failed every exam, maxed out on all the extra credit, and got a B.

Casey Potts seems like a nice guy, but he's one of the worst professors I've had. He often goes on unrelated tangents, struggles with technology—which delays grading—and his assignment deadlines are inconsistent, making it easy to miss work. His lectures are unhelpful, so be prepared to teach yourself everything if you have to take his class.

Professor Potts respectfully should not be a professor. I can count a handful of times he actually taught anything instead of yapping the entire class session about unnecessary/unrelated topics. The only good thing I can say about him as a professor is that he is funny/entertaining. Just take Hollingsworth if she's available.

if youre not religious, pick a religion and pray. the only thing i learnt in caseys lectures were his crazy conspiracy theories and how elon musk and big pharma are trying to screw over the middle class. my mental health is at an all time low and i no longer look both ways while crossing the street.

Respectfully, he should not be a professor. Classes were run terribly, and he even admitted multiple times that he doesn't prepare anything for class. This often leads to unrelated tangents, that have nothing to do with the material in the course. He left early, and I learned more from the sub in one week than I did from Potts the whole semester.
