VERY hard. Lots of tests. His way or no way, not at all flexible. Loves talking about himself more than accounting. I have mixed feelings about him.
Very knowlegeable and has good life experience to share. Learned a lot! NOT a class to breeze through. Will stay very late to help anyone. Filters out the casual students the first class.

Very knowledgeable, expert in accouting, carring, spportive, concern about his students. I hope all professors are like him. If you want to learn and not waist time (and money)choose Professor Daniel.
I took his class during the winter section. I dont' like him at all even though i got an A. IF u like to study by yourself take his class. 40 percents of the time he is talking about himself. Hate his attitude. His personality sux. Mean to his students.
HE is ABSOLUTELY a GREAT teacher. People, you guz come to school not to be a book nerd but to learn the world. He talks about how accouting's in the real world. No snowshop project, no homework, scratched problems are given out up front, what do you want
Great teach. You'll either like him or hate him. He has lots of real world experience, which he talks a lot about, some people get annoyed, but if you pay attention everything is important. He is very helpful in answering questions that might seem dumb to others. Class is tough-but very helpful.
If you can follow directions and do your hw, you'll do fine in this class.
First day, very rude and disencouraging. He is a realist, but doesn't give you the incentive to learn. Ok, maybe you don't have to do any work except for taking the test, but if you fail on any of the test, you're finished. Requires class participation sometimes.
Professor Daniel is an excellent teacher, but he's very strict with the kids but not with himself. He rudely shows up late frequently. Not recommended.
Please this professor is too hard. I readed the ratings about him, and it does not match with who he is. By now we did not have exam yet, and the people laught at his jokes, but next week after the first exam I will see how they do not laugh this people anymore. Please take others, he makes harder.
he is very annoy person, with his laugh ,talk too much and waisted a lot of you times. come late daily...keep u for so long no break.. but you will learn a lot from his lecture...
i dont know, I think you should go for other professors, he knows the material, but his exams are way to hard, so probably , if you are not an accounting person, you should choose other professor.

Excellent professor. He is very knowledgeable in the area of accounting and does an excellent job of communicating this to the class. He is thorough and his exams are equally so. He prepares you well and expects hard work from his students. He is in complete control of his class and makes sure that you fully understand the material.
Requires you to participate in class. If you are serious about school and learning accounting, this is the class for you. If you are not serious, you better take someone else. He works hard in his class and expects you to work hard. Highly recommend. I learned a lot in this class.
Professor Daniel is one of the best professors I have had in my studies at SMC. He lets you know on day one that his class is about the business of learning accounting. He covers a vast amount of information that requires you to really study. The class is very structured and he explains the material very well. He makes you believe in yourself.
Very strict and fair. I can honestly say that I am leaving his class knowing more about accounting than I though I could ever know. His class is hard but definitely worth it. Very good professor.
When I entered his class in the beginning around 2005, groups of people started leaving after he explained class rules and schedule. He is a little too aggressive and not sensitive to all students. Hopefully when you take his class he will assign hw because only 3 major tests are for a final grade. Knows acct well but expects participation!
I enjoyed the class and the stories from his real life experience. I feel he is excellent at understanding and answering student questions. He teaches/covers material quickly if you don't ask questions. So you need to have the guts to ask! To get an A as I did you need to read the book and do the homework. If you don't expect a D in the class.
Great professor... if you care about accounting at all. If you're not up on your accounting knowledge, don't waste your time here. Just like Professor Singleton (RIP) cares about his students and goes in-depth in his lectures. It's also nice to have somebody teaching who's successful in the field of accounting. One word: fantastic.
This man is a GREAT professor and really works hard teaching his course. I have no idea what the previous negative comments were about. I am a “B” student and can honestly say that this is the most proud I have ever been of earning a B. Professor Daniel is a very knowledgeable and matter of fact individual. He is very approachable and willing t
Professor Daniel is for you if you want to be thoroughly taught accounting in a highly informative & structured environment. Anyone who has a problem with him probably did not like living by his rules within his class. He is not going to let you just skate through his course, you have to study & work hard. He works hard and expects the same of you.
Excellent Professor. Goes over all of the material and expects you to do the same. Has several exams and goes over all assigned homework in class. Is one of the best professors I have ever had.
He has both academic and real world experience. He is a skilled professor and successful accountant. It is good to have someone in the classroom who brings together these two items. On day one he tells you that he is about the business of accounting and believe him, his course is no joke, you will work hard and learn a lot from being in his class.
I just finished his class and he makes me want to be an accountant. He is very very knowledgeable. Very smart person and brings all his skills to the classroom. Runs his class very strictly and is in complete control. One of the best teaching accounting at Santa Monica College.
Constant communication with the class. Well organized and structured. All requirements are listed. Time line well documented. Expects you to participate and be actively involved. Requirements are thorough, forcing you to keep up and be actively involved. Very positive learning experience. Be prepared to work hard and learn a lot. Highly Recommend!!
He is very concerned about his students. He gives you his all and expects for you to give it your all. Anyone who has a problem with him needs to first look at yourself. Sure, he is not easy, but guess what, life is not easy and any professor who lets you off easy in their class is cheating you. He demands the best of you and is a GREAT professor.
Awesome Professor. Professor Daniel is both strict and concerned about his students. He is highly intelligent and very skilled in both accounting and business. He brings a lot of knowledge to the classroom. I am very impressed with him and feel lucky to have been a student within his class.
I am going to have to agree with all the positive posts (and there are far more of the positive than negative). I have never seen a professor who answers as many questions as he. He lets you ask questions during class and stays after class answering questions. If you cannot learn with him then you should not be in college. Excellent way of teaching
Wow! My friend just showed me this site and I am happy to say that Professor Daniel is one of the best professors I have ever had. His syllabus is detailed - eight pages. He covers a lot of material and is always helpful and fully available to students. I know that he works really hard for his students and truly cares about them being successful.
Amazing teacher. If you need help he's there for you, stays after class and answers all your questions. He will not stop till you get your answer. His grading is fair and he tries to bring the exam the next class. His class isn't easy but at least at the end of the semester you know that your learned some material and you're ready for the next level. If you take him be prepared to do a lot of work. His class is fun and you will enjoy it very much.
Though I had an accounting backgroung, Professor Daniel made to understand Accounting more than ever before. He is the best in Accounting.
I'm still not sure if I like him or would recommend him. Scare tactics, degrading, humiliation, arrogance and just plain anal.This guy is unbelievable.He shows up late to class yet will scold you if you are late.Its his way or no way.Tests are hard, with seating arrangements..he thinks everyone will cheat.HOWEVER, lectures are awesome.Class is a mu
One of the best professors I've had. He's not the easiest, but certainly is real and knows the material extremely well. Gives real world examples, provides 'out-of-the-box' ways of looking at things, and the class is fun. Take Prof. Daniel if you want to actually to use your brain and learn a thing or two. Not recommended for the feeble minded.
Take this professor!! He always is available to assist students. Professor Daniel would meet with us prior to class and go over again and again points that a number of us were confused over. I am an international student and he made us understand accounting. Great professor who I recommend if you are serious about learning accounting.
I now have an accounting job because of Professor Daniel. He is a good man who works for and believes in his students. He got me excited about accounting and then when I asked him he wrote me a letter of recommendation. I did very well in each of the upper level accounting courses (SMC & USC) because of the foundation he gave me. Great Professor!!
Great teacher. Prof. Daniel is a true professional and works very hard in the classroom. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Highly recommended for serious students of accounting.
Simply the best professor I can imagine. He is very thorough and expects the best of you. He makes you want to work toward being successful. I feel lucky to be part of his class. You will work very hard and so does he. Great class!!
Best Professor I ever had. He is a profesional. I wish he was teaching more than Acct 1&2. He makes a dry subject like accounting very entertaining. He interacts great with the students and uses great referances to help understand a point. He is paitent and smart. He is very thourough so if you take acct2 with him, make sure you had him in acct1!
I am in his class this semester and really like it. Professor Daniel makes you believe in yourself. He covers the material very well and you are honestly going to work hard in his class. He likes teaching and it shows. He takes no shortcuts and SMC is really lucky to have someone of his work approach.
Professor Daniel is the best instructor I?ve ever had. His class is a LOT of work and you will learn a LOT. His lectures are very very good and gives you a lot of information. You must attend each class and keep up with the heavy work load. His lectures are totally awesome. Very professionally run class. I have learned a LOT.
am finishing his class this semester and will 100% take him in the fall for accounting 2. very smart person who totally knows about accounting. he covers all twelve chapters in accounting 1 and does not skip any chapters. he does a very good job of preparing you for accounting 2. truly cares about what is best for his students.
I love this Professor. He's real smart person who can see through accounting principles.
Professor Daniel truly cares about his students. Very motivating--always encourages students not to be intimidated by the material. Stays after class as long as you need him to. Provides plenty of relevant, real world examples. Prepare to work hard and laugh at his jokes! Class goes by fast.
I made it through. I have never worked so hard and learned so much in a class. Honestly, I am getting a B and have never been so proud of a B. Have friends taking same class with other professors who have higher grade who when we study together they do not know nearly as much as I do. Am looking forward to taking his Accounting 2 in the Fall.
If you really want to learn take Professor Daniel. One day he stayed after class for about an hour explaining material to several of my friends and I. He went over the same explanations several different ways, until we got it. I am so very impressed with him as both a professor and human being. He fully represents all that SMC should be.
Whether you like him or not to me is immaterial. You go to class to get a real concept of acct and he does that with excellence. He demystify acct II for me. He makes what seems really hard understandable. BTW he's a nice guy and I don't know where he gets his energy. He is one of the best prof that I've had the honor of being taught by.
Daniel is completely clear about the schedule of the class. Participation is a factor in your grade. He encourages asking questions. If you do what he says, you will learn the material. My only criticism is that sometimes curious students will ask questions that take us off the path of the material, some are entertaining.
He is the best and most concerned professor that I have ever had On the first day in his class you realize that this is a real college class He does not play and is about the business of teaching accounting Professor Daniel lectures and explains with great detail all of the concepts within the textbook Excellent class
One of the best professors ever. Learned a lot from him in acctg and life. Very Clear. Need to read the book Completely LINE BY LINE for the tests. 3 Tests and a Final. You will know what you will be tested on. Good lecturs. Very passionate and motivates the students alot. lots of experience and ENERGY. GREAT LECTURES. Very Disciplined. Great Human
Clear about Schedule - Yes. Disciplined - Yes. This is a Summer class and from day one the professor tells us that it moves fast. The class meets for almost four hours each day and is a six week course. I am friends with the person who left the two negative comments below and they are mad that they are failing the course. This is a GREAT professor.
He covers the material thoroughly and holds you accountable for studying and doing the homework. I also know the one person who left the two below negative comments. They are angry because of their lack of performance within the class. How sad to use negative comments again a great professor. I feel very fortunate to have him as my professor.
This is by no means an easy class. Be prepared to put in a lot of time, but also to learn a great deal. That's why I took him from acc 1+2. Detailed syllabus, 3 test w/ mc/free response and final, attendance is very important, as well as participation, and the book is a must. One of the best professors I have ever had and I didn't even get an A.
Very detailed eight (8) page syllabus provided on first day of class. He goes over each item on the syllabus and you should read it and listen to what he is saying. He provides a lot of good information. He is very detailed and professional. Took him for both 1 & 2. Covers each chapter fully and is just an overall excellent professor. The BEST.
Excellent Professor!! Professor Daniel is the best professor that I have had in my entire college experience. His class is well organized and all of the information is thoroughly covered. You will work hard, as does he. He explains the course material with crystal clarity. This class is definitely the best of my entire college track.
I'm a graduate student from CSUN taking more accounting classes for the CPA exam. This professor is the best I've had bar none! Explains everything in detail and relates to real world experiences. Learned a great deal!! Just make sure you attend the classes and do the HW and you'll do just fine. Highly Recommend!
I am a former active duty United States Marine and Professor Daniel controls his class in both a manner and professionalism that impresses me. He does not put up with any foolishness and is about getting the job done. This is a real college class run by a real college professor. If you want to both learn and grow as a person, take Professor Daniel.
Likes his class just not his tests. If ur one of those ppl that just don't do will on tests just take another professor.
Professor Daniel is a GREAT accounting instructor at SMC. He is not easy. He is the type of professor that students need if you want to learn in an environment that is highly educational and professional. I am so fortunate that SMC has him teaching and that I am a student of his. I have learned so much and he makes me believe in myself. GREAT Job!!
Excellent professor who controls his class with authority and great accounting knowledge. I just finished his summer class and for four hours each day, Professor Daniel maintains a level of professionalism and intensity that is second to none. This is by far the best class that I have had during my entire college experience.
Professor Daniel manages this class with both knowledge and authority. I am taking him this semester and his Accounting course is awesome. I am working harder than I ever have in my life and am learning so much. He runs this class very well and is about the business of learning accounting. If you are into drama, this is not the class for you.
Top notch professor. He works hard and you will have to do the same. He does not put up with any drama. If you come with that, he will shut you down quickly. This professor is about teaching accounting and he runs his class and lets you know on day one that he does not need any help with that. He treats his class like a real college class.
Amazing professor and class. He is clearly the smartest professor I have ever had. His care and concern for his students success is evident. He is really a great person and creates a perfect learning environment within his class. He is very on point with the running of his class and you will learn a lot. He is what all professors should be.
After two years of being unemployed, it is within this class that I feel like I am somebody once again. Professor Daniel demands a lot out of you and expects you to rise to the occasion without excuse. He has truly changed my life by treating me with respect and teaching his class with a level of thoroughness that is second to none. #1 Professor!!
Professor Daniel is a great professor. His understanding of accounting and his way of teaching it makes him the best. I am working so hard and am learning so much. He controls his class and you will work hard and learn more than you ever thought possible. This is what all college level courses should be. This professor in a single word is ?great.?
This professor is always on point and in full control of his class. To watch him teach accounting is unlike anything I have seen before. He is smart, caring and strong, all at the same time. With the semester ending and I have worked very hard for my A, I wish I was bold enough to ask him out. He is a professor and man that I am very impressed with
The BEST professor I have ever had the pleasure of being taught by. This is a tough class. Professor Daniel does not put up with any drama or foolishness. If you want to have your way, I strongly suggest that you take someone else. He teaches accounting and is fully in charge of his class. You will work hard and learn a lot from a very smart man.
Professor Daniel is very detailed in his lectures and provides real world insight and examples that add clarity. He makes accounting understandable. He does this in a highly structured and highly positive environment that clearly benefits the class as a whole. His class is not easy and if you are really serious about learning, definitely take him.
This professor stays after class and answers questions until everyone fully understands. This is not an easy course but he will break down the information to a point that you can understand. I have seen Professor Daniel explain a concept two or three different ways in order to clarify for students. He is by all accounts a great professor.
He Teaches - I was telling my parents about how I liked Professor Daniel class and that is what they both said - He Teaches. LOL. I guess, in an old school way, that means he does what professors should do and help us as students learn what it means to really go to college. This is a though class. Will learn a lot. Highly recommend. He is awesome.
Professor Daniel is about the business of getting the job done. He is for NO drama. Take someone else if you are a student who will try to get over on a professor. He will stand up for what is right and not put up with your drama. It is good to see someone stand up to students who are always trying to get over. You will learn a lot. Great class!!
Yes, he is always late, and he is hard, but I loved him! I like discipline and teachers who are straight to the point. I participated every single class, got D on the first exam, F on the second, B on the third, and ? on the final. My final grade is C, and I am happy. I just wish I read the textbook and were doing homework at the beginning.RECOMEND
Professor Daniel is an excellent professor and this college is the better for having him teach us. I am a working adult student and his class is both professionally run and highly educational. He thoroughly teaches accounting and fully maintains control and order of his class. I learned a great amount. He is what being a professor is all about.
Very good professor and class. You will work hard. He covers the material fully. Clearly focuses the class on learning. Does not put up with any drama. Fourteen page syllabus totally lays out his ordered style and class. Clear expectations and goals are set first day and followed. Learned so much. Great accountant and professor. Highly recommend.
excellent professor who really knows accounting. his class is very organized and structured. disciplined and focused is how I would describe his class. you will leave this class knowing much more than you started out with. he puts up with no drama. i really like that because we focus on accounting, not drama. he runs his class. awesome professor.
I just finished taking an exam in his course and I feel on top of the world. This is the most thorough exam I have ever taken and Professor Daniel has fully taught and prepared us very well. He thoroughly explains the accounting material with a great level of knowledge and clarity. You work hard but it is so worth it. Truly an excellent professor.
Professor Daniel is absolutely a great professor. He is an excellent teacher and does explain things very well and brings the best out of his students. He is well prepared and you must be also. His class is very structured and organized and you will work very hard and will learn a great deal of information. I am glad that I took this class.
I believe all students should be required to take Professor Daniel for Accounting (1 or 2).
The semester is ending and I must say that this has been a very serious class. Professor Daniel puts up with no drama and he is the clear leader of his class. You will learn a lot beginning day one. This class is no joke. Heavy work load. If you want things done your way, look elsewhere. If you want to be a student and learn a lot, take this class.
To say Professor Daniel is awesome is not enough. His class is so professionally run. No drama or any other kind of foolishness from day one. He runs his class like a college class should be run. If you are a student who wants to run a class, that will not happen here. His class = hard work and lots of learning. I am so thankful for this professor.
Professor Daniel is very dedicated to teaching and that is shown in both his teaching methods and communication with students. He is a very good teacher and insists that you learn the material. You will work hard and be well prepared. This semester has made me the most excited about attending SMC - thanks to Professor Daniel.
This professor is very organized. I have attended other schools and am blessed to have landed here taking Professor Daniel. I felt that each of his class meetings were of value and made me a better student and person. I wanted to attend every one of his class meetings and made sure that I did not miss any. I saw the value in his class.
This is an exceptionally great professor and class. Throughout the semester we stayed on pace and continued to learn, learn and learn. Professor Daniel is focused and the knowledge delivered within this course is simply amazing. I highly recommend this professor. It is a heavy work load course and well worth the time out of my life to attend.
He is a very good teacher, he has structure in his teaching and is making the learning after your needs. Accounting is overall a very hard course to take but Prof. Daniels is making it easier. He really knows his stuff and that is for your advantage. I strongly recommend him if you want a good base in Accounting!
The quality and professionalism of this professor and class is outstanding. Professor Daniel knows how to demand and get the best out of his students. This is a very heavy workload class, well structured and let me tell you, he is about teaching and you learning and definitely does not put up with any drama. I learned so much and am so thankful.
Yes - this professor is the real deal. He is about accounting and a well run class. My friends and I from the beginning knew that this class was going to be demanding. We had to focus on accounting and understand that professor Daniel is about accounting and no drama. If you have or want drama, its not gonna go anywhere with him. Highly recommend.
As an international student this is the best professor that I have had at SMC. Professor Daniel held me to the same standard as all other students and would not allow me to settle for less. This is what being a teacher is all about and I am glad to have taken him here at SMC. Lots of hard work and great learning. Good teacher and professor.
The teacher is very good. He is very well educated. He wants students to learn the actual material and not just pass the class. The teacher goes through the material thoroughly and in great detail. He both organizes and manages the class in a way that is best for students learning and growth. The teacher is recommended if you really want to learn.
He is good professor but his due dates are ridiculous. Discussions are by Wednesday, homework is by Saturday and quiz is by Sunday. Here is the main thing, the midterm is on Saturday between 7-pm only and this Saturday is Easter. He doesn't care if people have their own life and someones can not make at this day and time.
I really like how this online class is very well laid out and organized. The professor gives us all of the dates and times for everything at the start of the semester. As a working adult going back to school this really helps. It is a very heavy workload class but that is why I go to a serious college. I am learning so much from Professor Daniel.
You can tell that Professor Daniel puts a lot of work and time into this class. He provides just so much information regarding every single chapter. He is continually updating the class through announcements. He grades your work quickly. He responds to questions like now. This is a great class and professor. Major work. Major thanks. Major kudos!!
If you are expecting a traditional easy online class then you have better keep moving. This professor lays out the class structure and expectations from day one. You will work hard and learn a lot. He puts up with no craziness. There is so much knowledge and information he provides and I was able to both learn and understand accounting. Awesome!!
He caught my friend cheating. Yes, in an online class. My friend cheats in online classes and it’s not fair. Professor Daniel caught him with what he told my friend were audit techniques and laid it out piece by piece. Is a serious class. This professor puts up with no drama and you will not get your way. Work hard and do not cheat - he is looking.
He explains the information thoroughly until you understand it. He knows his stuff and also brings in additional real life business examples to help us understand. He is very focused on our fully understanding the class information. Heavy workload. He makes sure that everyone understands. You will learn a lot. Very smart professor who is very good.
Very well organized course. Lots of good information. The professor always keeps the class up to date with course wide announcements. Seems as if he is always in the class. Definitely a very positive benefit for students. Lots of work that is demanding and very heavy work load. If you want to really learn from a great professor this is the class.
I took the summer session so it was very fast paced. The reading was heavy and the homework was time consuming. But at the end of it all I learned accounting in 6 weeks. Great professor who is all about business.
This has been a good use of my summer. He is very clear on expectations and due dates for the course. He does not allow for lateness or excuses. Expectations are that of a full college course. There is a lot of info in this course and he grades things promptly, listing without delay. I have learned a lot. Good experience and very skilled professor.
TAKE. THIS. CLASS.
I just finished this class for the summer and for nearly four hours each day Professor Daniel keep us focused and on point. He is very organized and extremely educated. The demands and expectations of this course were very high and this was only exceeded by the professors teaching of accounting. Great learning environment for hard working students.
This has been the best online course that I have taken. The professor provides prompt and accurate information, along with detailed lecture information. Professor Daniel does not put up with any drama and for those of us who really want to learn, I am so glad for that. We are pushed to focus on the heavy work load and not drama. Well done professor
This class is a lot of work. It is no joke and if you are expecting it to be easy because it is online think again. Professor Daniel brings it strong and you can tell that he is a no nonsense kind of person. Very smart professor who is focused on the class and not drama. Learned a lot and appreciated both the order and serious style of the course.
Very hard class. It really helps doing the homework, book exerciser and any extras you can find. You need to read thoroughly. He does go over the homework and that helps a lot. Test are hard, some of the questions are worded completely different from the book, a bit tricky
Truly a phenomenal professor. Being a working adult going back to school, I am so thankful for Professor Daniel being very strict, highly organized and showing a genuine caring for his students. This class is a lot of hard work. Very heavy work load and no drama. Professor Daniel both pushes and pulls you to the next level of learning.
He is a very strict teacher. Do not expect this to be an easy class just because it is online. I failed this class because I was not able to take the final due to an emergency and he still did not let me make it up. He will not let you make up any assignments no matter what.
We just finished the semester and this has been the most engaging professor that I have had. Professor Daniel is continually responsive to us students and the class design is clear and extensive. He knows his stuff and the work load is both very heavy and challenging. Lots of good information and learning. You will work very hard. Very good class.
We cover a lot of info each day and the professor is very skilled in his knowledge of accounting. We stay the entire class period and the assignments and exams are lots of very hard work. You will work very hard & learn. Professor Daniel explains the info in a way that is both skilled and understandable. I am working harder than ever and loving it.
This course is really great. Professor Daniel is always providing feedback and has us working throughout the week. Unlike any online class that I have ever taken. Truly a very positive experience. The course is well organized and you can tell that the professor really knows what he is doing. Lots of very hard work so be ready. Recommend!!!
He was not scheduled to be our original professor but I am sooooo glad that he is teaching this class. We just finished a major exam and I have never worked so hard and learned so much. Lots of hard work. This Professor Daniel is just sooooo amazing. He is matter of fact, very smart, very much in charge of his class and totally awesome at teaching.
we have just finished another major exam and you can tell that he really cares for the class. he pushes us to do our very best and does demand that we work very hard. each class the professor really teaches and goes over everything. i am so glad that he is teaching us what we need to know about accounting. is an excellent class and professor.
Take this class if you're serious about accounting. He helps you have a good base in accounting so you can go in your future classes headstrong!
Professor Daniel is really passionate about accounting! He's been working in the field and has a lot of experience and good stories! His lectures are organized and on point. Homework every week and then he goes over it in class which is great!! Really enjoyed taking his class even though its been hard! He cares for his students a lot!
Prof Daniel is great! He has lots of experience in accounting and he'll make the subject so interesting that you'll want to become an accountant yourself! Tests are tough, but by reading and doing homework, it's completely possible! Makes you feel prepared and ready for other acct. classes. Definitely thankful for Prof Daniel!
Professor Daniel is an amazing person, he treats every student with respect and courtesy. He makes complicated concepts easy to understand( keep it simple)lol Do yourself a favor and DO HOMEWORK!! Don't miss class because his lectures simplify the textbook. I left with a better overall understanding of accounting and decision making. TY Professor
I must say that this Accounting 2 course with Professor Daniel is by far the most coherent and carefully planned out online class I have taken at SMC. His class is making me step up my academic game. This is a good course, I am working hard and really learning. It is a very heavy workload course with lots of information to help with our learning.
This is a well designed online course. Professor Daniel is always online and is constantly giving us reminders and feedback. This course is a lot of work and there are constant assignments and due dates. A lot of good information and learning items provided. Once again, a lot of work. I have learned much. This is a very good course and professor.

Not enough time given for exams. 35 minutes long for 10 questions. Seriously?
I have been in multiple online classes and professor Daniel has organized and runs this class at a professional level that is great. He is always updating the class with information. There is a lot of work and you must be prepared to work and learn. The semester is ending and this has been a very heavy work load and very rewarding class.
I was pleasantly surprised with the grade I received. This is a tough class that requires a lot of (warranted) work. I found the tests to be very difficult, but I put a lot of work into the discussions, homework, and my reading. Do the work, read, and review. This class required a lot of attention, but I am happy with the outcome.
Its all good. This class is the one. I just finished the final a couple days ago and my grade is all good. Hard work and organized class made it worth my time. Good professor. Much content and very much work. Lots of notes. Assignments due every week keeps you on point. Major good throughout this class. If you want to learn, this class is the one.
The class is very organized. You know what to expect each week and what's due on the same day every week. Weekly timed quizzes . Final exam- 50 questions with 3 hr time limit. There is no extra credit available and professor won't give you any exceptions. I was surprised with my grade but worked hard to get it.
I will not take his class if you are not pursuing CPA or if you are taking it only for general study. The quiz is very tough. Yes, there are 10 questions, but all the questions are math and problems, which take more times to finish. And we only have 35 mins to finish each quiz. I won't take his class unless you want to challenge yourself in Acct.
I am in Professor Daniel online class and it pushes me to do better because it is a great learning experience and yes, I must actually study and learn the material. He provides lots of information and expects students to get with the program. He lays out the class in a detailed class syllabus and sticks to it. I am working very hard and loving it.
I am glad that I took this class. It is well prepared and has lots of info and assignments. I had to work very hard to do all of the assignments. This professor has laid out the course in a clear syllabus with ongoing assignments each week. I was made to stay up with this course and learned much about both accounting and myself. Great professor!!
took online class and received a B. You have to read 1 hour to 1.5 hours every day to keep up. I like that the class is well put together. However, when it comes to contacting professor he does not reply fast and he seems to write in a manner that puts students down, maybe its due to online class but thats the vibe I got. I would still take again.
Really good class with clear expectations laid out the first day. There are assignments that are due almost each day and the professor makes it clear that you must do all the work. He provides lots of information and a clear detailed schedule. Lots of very hard work and one truly learns accounting with Professor Daniel. Great learning experience!!
As a working student with a family, I love both the professionalism and no drama of this professor. There are multiple assignments due each week and just like at my job, professor Daniel sticks with the due dates. This is a very heavy work load course where the professor provides a lot of study info. I have learned a lot. GREAT college level class.
Things that I have done in other online courses and gotten away with do not work in this class. Professor Daniel is on it and he takes this class serious. I have had to work harder and more honestly than I ever have had to do so in an online class. He is serious about this class and the class is laid out on point and he sticks to the laid out plan.
A ton of reading for this course. Discussions had a min word count of 350 characters. It was basically his way or the highway. Final was scheduled in advance and you could only take it on that day at the specified time. You have been warned!
Amazing class and professor. I really appreciate his level of structure and order. There are multiple assignments due each week. This helps me to stay up on the work. He grades my discussion answers in a timely manner and gets them back to me. This class is a lot of work and I do see where I am learning. The professor has put together an A++ class.
I like this class. Professor Daniel is very detailed oriented and matter of fact and has all pieces of this class together. It is a very heavy work load and I am having to stay up with all of the work and due dates. He is always sending out updates and has responded to me promptly. I really like the quick feedback and professionalism of this class.
This class is really good with this professor. I am currently in Professor Daniel class and find that his style of laying things out with high expectations and amazing order and structure works very well. I work a lot on this class and have learned so much. I cannot fall behind or it will be all over. I keep up and do as he says to really learn.
Professor Daniel's online class is very structured and it definitely makes you have to work hard and keep up the assignments. However, I think his structure limits the flexibility of other online classes. Especially, since the final exam has to be taken on a FRIDAY NIGHT in a 2 hour window. That said, I do respect his organization.
Just finished Professor Daniel's course last night and this is the most organized online class that I have ever been in. As an adult student paying for my education, I like that Professor Daniel values my time by giving me a truly high quality class. I had to work very hard to meet the high standards of this class and will FOREVER value this class.
You spend one week on a chapter, with one assignment due every weekday. The last 3 or 4 weeks you have to complete two chapters a week, with two assignments due every weekday. There is no Mid Term and the Final is cumulative, but he does give you a week to prepare for the final. Exam questions are much more difficult than the homework questions.
Online classes are supposed to be more flexible to allow working adults the ability to further their education while continuing with their lives. I do not feel that this professor understands this--eg. Quizzes are open on Friday and due on Friday. This is not flexible for working adults who may also have children. I would pick another professor.
Online classes are supposed to be quality with standards and as a student who is a working adult with children and family responsibility, I am very thankful for this professor and class where everything has been highly organized, informed and structured from day one. This is an 8 week summer class and he set and sticks with dates. Excellent class!!
This is a great online class for me as a single parent who works full-time. Very structured with rules laid out and followed. I am so tired of spoiled students who cannot follow directions and are mad they cannot bully this professor to change things to what they want. Shocking that you actually have to work for a good grade (insert sarcasm emoji).
Great online class to really learn college level Accounting in. It has been a semester of hard work and I am glad to say that I made it through. The very organized and strict structure of this class keep me focused and allowed me to do better than I otherwise would have. This class with Professor Charles Daniel has made me a much better student.
Keeping it real, the dates are the dates. This class has a lot of information and required work and the professor sticks with the extensive plan that he provides on the first day of class. The syllabus is long and everything in there he means. I liked being in this class with a very strong professor, no drama, professional and dates were the dates.
Ask us to write 350 words of a post for each chapter AND 350 to replay to other students. Locks every week's he and quiz and u only have 1 day to finish the quiz. I took online classes is because I work full time and don't have time just sit there and wait for him to unlock it. other teachers give me like 3-5 or even a whole week to finish. avoid!!
While the class itself is already a challenge, Professor Charles makes it a point to make it even harder. He will not respond to any emails/questions you have in a timely manner, he refuses to conduct office hours via zoom and his lectures and the required software don't correlate so studying for the exam is virtually impossible.
Professor Daniel has been very clear and responsive to me throughout the class. Compared to my other classes this one does take more focus and work. The class expectations are clearly laid out and the work must be done. Each week there are multiple assignments and exam. I have worked so hard this semester and do feel good about what I have learned.
I took this professor due to the high rating & I am regretting it. I got an A in ACCTG 1 but not in this class :( He has mandatory 350 word initial discussion posts and 350 word discussion post replies each week. If you havent done 350 word posts before, its A LOT of words to come up with when the subject is accounting. So crazy!
I took this class for spring 2021 as a fully online course. This class was very simple. It required little effort. There is lots of homework, around 5 hours a week, but you get 3 chances on making sure the answer is correct. Discussion posts feel very repetitive. Overall this class is perfect if you're looking for an effortless A.
This class with Dr. Daniel pushed me to work toward my dream of learning accounting and transferring to a university and majoring in accounting. Of all the online classes that I have taken, this one was the most structured and focused. That helped me to stay focused. Dr. Daniel laid out the course in a way that helped me, so this is a great class.
He wont answer questions and prefers telling you to drop the class than clarify anything you dont understand. He spends more time defending why he wont teach you than actually teaching you. Only take this class if you want to teach yourself accounting. Really unclear what hes getting paid to do.
Just finished this course and Dr. Daniel is on it when it comes to knowing and teaching accounting. He is always responsive and you have to study because he teaches this course like a real college level course and that is what it is supposed to be. I thank him for that and say if you want a really great put together class, this is the one for you.
This class has everything laid out from the first day of class. There are no surprises regarding the hard work and expectations. I like that Dr. Daniel gives you a detailed task calendar on the first day that maps out the assignments and time due. And yes, he sticks with the time due. No excuses and no drama. Is good to be in a college level class.
Before you continue with this class or want to drop it without W, make sure to read his syllabus carefully. Try not to rely on your first weeks grade to decide whether or not you want to continue this course. He doesnt provide any extra credit either. If you have a tight working schedule or need Acct 2 to transfer I will skip his section.
This class has worked me hard like I was at the gym and like at the gym I am leaving this class feeling much better than before I started. Also like at the gym, you get the most out of it when you are willing to work hard. Dr. Daniel has put together a great class and really demands the best out of you. I am so pumped over how much I have learned.
I'm taking two online accounting classes using the same textbook (Wild & Shaw - 25th ed.) and the biggest difference is that Daniel's course has a quiz or hw due every day. In my other class, some of those homeworks are considered extra credit and the homeworks are due only every 2 weeks. Daniels' format offers you very little flexibility.
Took this class in fall 2022 and I found it to be very well organized with a professor that is responsive and high caliber. Dr. Daniel makes you rise to college level expectations and pushes you to do well by studying, studying, studying. It is a lot of work that pays off in the end by you really knowing the accounting information. I give it a like
this is an online course but all assignments are done on mcgraw hill. a lot of work so make sure to make time for each one.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR'S CLASS if you care about having any type of free time. The online McGraw Hill assignments took me up to 30 hours EACH for 5-point assignments. He doesn't teach you at all and gives out an insane amount of homework. PLEASE TAKE ANOTHER PROFESSOR, SAVE YOURSELF.
I just finished this class and earned an A. I have learned so much. It is a lot of work and that helped push me to do better than I would normally do. The class is structured and the due dates are the due dates. Everything is very well laid out. If you want to really learn accounting this is the class for you. I am very glad that I took this class.
Dr. Daniel's class has a strictly structured schedule that makes independent study easy to follow along. Chance to fall behind in this class because of the heavy workload. I worked hard to earn my grade for ACCTG1, and will be taking his ACCTG 2 course next!
Professor Daniel runs a structured class, but be prepared for a heavy workload. While helpful resources like the textbook and unstuck ai can aid study, the class requires significant time commitment. Attend class and stay on top of assignments to succeed.
This Accounting class by Dr. Daniel is one of the hardest, but it is also one of the most thorough college classes that I have taken. He does not cut corners. Every topic is covered in detail, which requires a lot of work and pays off in the end. His teaching style is straightforward and no-nonsense. I very strongly recommend for serious students.
50+ problem smartbooks, assignments daily monday-friday with no late policy, no checking in, and good luck reaching him. extremely structured and organized, but very fast paced with a maximal workload
Dr. Daniel runs a rigorous online accounting course. The workload is very heavy, especially if you fall behind. It is not a “watch videos and pass” class. That said, the course is well structured, and the professor presents concepts clearly and thoroughly. If you're willing to put in serious effort, you'll come out much stronger in accounting.
This is not an easy online class. The workload is heavy and you must stay on top of everything. That said, the professor is excellent. Lectures are clear, expectations are spelled out, and nothing feels unfair. If you put in the time and actually do the work, you will learn a lot. Great professor. This class demands a lot effort, but it's worth it.
Be prepared to work hard as this is a demanding online accounting course with no shortcuts. I had to stay disciplined and organized to keep up with the material. Dr. Daniel course itself is very structured, which helped me know what was expected. I worked much harder in this class than most others, but I also learned much more than I usually do.
