Good teacher....very nice, always willing to help if you see him. Material can be difficult, but he does a good job.

I acutually liked him! I though he was a good prof!

I enjoyed his class. He makes the class interesting. Warning: He is tough but if you give good effort, you will do fine. The subject matter was HARD but what is accounting isn't?

Class is supper hard but the teacher is as helpful as can be. Just go to his office and ask for help. Talks very fast and spits big words at you at 100 mph. hes a HUGE beast, looks like a cage fighter. I hear he is a better teacher than most fot the class

He's a decent professor. He expects us to act like college students and do work outside of class. Sure the lectures are boring but I haven't met an accounting teacher yet that can make debits and credits exciting. He may seem rude but talk to him by yourself and don't be afraid of him and he's really not that bad

I REALLY ENJOYED TAKING CHARLIE'S CLASS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS VERY THOUGH. I PUT A GOOD AMOUNT OF WORK INTO THE CLASS AND CAME OUT WITH AN A. HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWS THE MATERIAL IS CHALLENGING AND THEREFORE WILLING TO HELP.

I read the horror stories below and got really worried before this class even started. Don't worry! It's really not that bad. I have friends in other Accounting classes and their professors are much worse. You are expected to do the reading outside of class and do the homework. If you do those, you'll be fine. You're college students, act like one and do the work and you'll have no problem. He gives easy quizzes for points and offers extra credit - something the other Accounting professors don't do!

Good Professor. In accounting you ACTUALLY have to do homework. Just like a math class. Don't believe the bad reviews. If you notice they have already given up half way through the semester... tells you what kind of student they were.

Ok, I know your reading these thinking man he sucks! but really he's not that bad. He gives quizzes that you get to take home and do. And his tests are not that complicated, study the night or so before, redo problems from homework and youll be fine. He also devotes a day to teaching the chapter and a day to do homework, and answering any questions

I think a lot of people give him crap because the class is hard, which isn't his fault. He is really very clear but you have to work for it. Lots of study time, not because he teaches it badly, but because it's hard. He will slow down if the class isn't getting it. The material sucks, not him.

Accounting is hard no matter what teacher you take. But Charlie is a good teacher and will try to work with you in the class. I got high D's low C's and got a high C in the class. If i would have got one B on a test, would have been better. He gives 10 points EC and 50 points in quizes, so not to hard. But still hard class

He is a really good teacher. A little boring but he is really good one on one and in the class room. Very clear and explains everything!

He is probably the best or one of the best accounting teachers here. The class is hard to begin with so it's not going to be easy no matter who you have. He knows what he's doing and if you go in and ask for help he will help you. Make sure you go to ALL of the classes and pay attention because there is a lot of information in this class.

Charlie can be great help if you go to him. This is a challenging class to begin with, you have to actually study and work for the grade. It is not his fault, its the class. Do yourself a favor, there are no better teachers, take him.

one of my best teachers! he explains things well and gives take home quizzes (and bonus points)which really help for those who arent good at tests. i highly recommend taking his class! accounting is a hard class to begin with but with charlie's help you'll be able to pass

Class was really hard, but I think he does a good job of explaining things. You HAVE to do the homework and study of else you will fail the class. He's a nice professor and offers extra credit. I think he does a good job of explaining things.

Charlie Thomas is an excellent teacher. But be careful, there is such thing as a dumb question and he isn't afraid to make you look dumb. He expects you to do the readings and READ the syllabus. The class is pretty easy and getting an A just requires going to class and taking good notes.

Overall he expains the information in a clear and understandable way. In order to get an A you would have to read the book because he doesnt always go over everything in class. if you need help he is more then welcome to give it to you. He also offers extra credit and gives handouts on the chapters that are helpful

Overall, I thought he was a very good teacher. I came into this class hearing the horrors of accounting and how it is the class they use to filter kids out of the business program. However, if you take notes, actually go to class, and study, it should not be a problem. I definately would take him again.

I was really concerned about taking this class with this teacher from all the stories that I heard. It really wasn't that bad. Quizes were take home, and we dropped the lowest score. Tests were hard (curve built in though), and you have to study for them. Overall if you are a good studier and go to class, you should do fine.

I thought Thomas was hard, but after talking with several other people it seems that it doesn't matter what teacher you have, every ACC teacher comes with difficulties. The material is difficult, but if you want the type of instructor that is no-nonsense, take him. He's a nice guy, despite being strict. You will fail if you don't study/attend.

Good, but there's a lot of work on your own as well.

The material can be dry and tough, but I thought he was organized and explained it clearly. The take home quizzes are a great way to make some easy points if you've read the book and gone to class. He goes over homework problem by problem in class which is really helpful with studying for the tests. This is definitely a class you can't miss!

Great Professor for ACCT 131 & 132! Clearly states what you need to learn in order to get a good grade but that requires the student to actually study & prepare. Easy quizes, class not mandatory but recomended, some extra credit is avaliable. Book problems are key to your success, the ones he assigns are extremely similar to the ones on the test.

I have no idea what people are talking about saying hard class or worst teacher. In my opinion he is the best teacher I've had here so far, he is very clear and explains things VERY well. His tests are hard, but if you study the study guides he gives you and read a bit before the tests, you'll do fine. He is a great guy/teacher take him if you c

His notes are really unclear and scrambled but I hardly studied for tests and I'm going to get a B in the class. The homework isn't too bad but lectures are super boring... he also offers 10 points of extra credit for going to workshops thru UCLA. Not that bad.

Charles Thomas (II) is a really good teacher if you can keep up with him during class. Make sure you read the chapters and do the homework and you'll be fine. He offers 10 points of EC for attending workshops, and takes random attendance. If you go in for office hours, he'll remember your name for the rest of the year. I highly recommend him.

I really thought he was a good teacher. Told you exactly was was expected and was clear on everything. Tests weren't bad. I'm hoping for an A.

CET is a really good teacher. the class isn't exactly fun but he really knows the subject cuz he was an accountant. He's very helpful if u ask and tells you exactly what to study for all the exams.

This guy is a great professor and really knows his stuff. Go to class and you'll be fine.

This professor is walking proof that all you need is an overhead projector and a marker to properly teach. As long as you go to class and pay attention to what he writes down, you should be fine. The aplia assignments are helpful in studying for tests and boosting your grade. Starting accounting with a professor like this is the best way to go.

He just uses a projector but he does teach you everything you need to know for the test and responds to questions well. He speaks in a very monotone voice which can make it hard to pay attention sometimes. His tests are not hard but not easy need to study a good amount. Easy to talk to though after class and happy to clarify

Nice Guy. Boring course. Not much more too it than that. Lectures get dull, but it's accounting lol

Had him for 131 and 132 and did not regret it. Does his best to make sure you pass as he always explains what will be on the test. Yes he's a little monotone, but most teachers for this section are. Most of his test questions come from the homework, just study and you will do fine. Nice guy to talk to for office hours

Best instructor I have had in college, possibly ever. Very thorough and great at what he does. Also gives extra credit for attendance. Take this class with Thomas! A bit monotonous, but he gets his point across.

Not the best teacher, not the easiest material, go to his office hours and he will review just about anything you need, the most helpful guy that does care about his students. With attendance extra credit along with the workshops he offers for extra credit this is the professor to take for acc 131

Pretty average teacher. Does a good job of explaining concepts but his voice will instantly put you to sleep and you will dream about accounting in class. Doesn't take attendance and everything you need is in the book. If you do well on the online homework every week and don't screw up the tests too badly you should do well in his class.

Charlie Thomas was a very good teacher. His class is a little tough but if you are willing to put in the work it is a good class. In class you will take lots of note but if you ever don't understand them he will gladly answer your question and make sure you understand. He was super helpful. The tests are a bit challenging but doable with studying.

Good teacher, tough class. Don't try to take notes on a computer, you won't be able to keep up. Gotta have the textbook for online assignments. There are a couple extra credit opportunities (easy workshops at Visor) throughout.

Hes a pretty cool dude. He is willing to help you out of class and always answers his emails. Theres three tests and a final which equal out to be 83% of the grade. He gives about ten point ec of attendance quizes and then if you go to workshops you can get another 10 point of ec. The class is not to hard if you attend and can follow along.

Make sure you buy the physical copy for this class. He goes over a lot of questions in class so bring it with you. Lectures are a bit long, lots of notes but very important to go to. Go to his office hours if you have questions, he is happy to help students.

Hardest class I've ever taken and I'll be a senior. NEVER skip class and take good notes. You can't cram the night before the tests. Do the extra credit workshops. Don't get behind and just pass the class. If you don't like accounting, you don't want to have to retake this class. It's brutal enough the first time.

Accounting is really difficult, but Charlie does his best to make sure everyone understands the material. He was a great teacher and I would recommend taking him since it's such a difficult class. You need the book for clarification and he sometimes uses examples from the book, so bring it to class.

Good class. Makes accounting easier and clear to understand. Class is boring, but that is what accounting is. As long as you go to the class you should pass. Gives a good amount of extra credit on tests.

Probably one of my favorite professors I've had so far. Lectures can be very boring, but if you are ever lost, he provides great assistance during his office hours. He is also a very fair grader, and a decent amount of effort is expected to be put in for the class. Attendance will sometimes get you extra credit too.

Charlie was a very good teacher, yes at times he could be very boring but he gives you studyguides before each test which if you follow point by point you will do well on. Accounting is hard but he is one of the nicest teachers you will ever meet and is very helpful in his office hours as well.

He's a good professor, very knowledgeable. However, he and the material are very dry. The tests can be difficult especially because he does not give very detailed study materials. Homework is easy and will boost your grade. He gives some extra credit and will give a slight curve to test scores. Make sure you read the book. ACC can be confusing.

Charlie is one of my favorite professors at ISU, but he's not for everyone. His class is very fast paced, which I really liked b/c it kept me alert and focused, no time to doze off. Really knows his stuff too. UTILIZE HIS OFFICE HOURS, I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH. He is extremely good at 1 on 1 teaching. Better at teaching 131 than 132, IMO.

You either love or hate him. There's tons of note taking in class so definitely don't miss it. He does many examples that are identical to the exam and hw which helps a lot. If you want to do well, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. You'll learn to appreciate him more. Although I am an ACC major, he is by far the best professor at ISU. Excellent teacher.

Pretty good teacher, if a little dry. Use textbook a lot, buy online version or physical copy, not both. Homework is easy and he drops 2 worst. Tests aren't too bad, mostly multiple choice. Takes attendance quizzes every now and then, free credit as long as you go to class.

Accounting is a hard class but he does a great job of explaining all the concepts and genuinely caring for his students' success. He will tell you what the test is going to focus on majorly so you can study efficiently. Attendance quizzes are given occasionally where you just have to write your name down.

Overall his lectures were okay but he would go through a lot of material very quickly. One thing i recommend is to start studying days in advance before exams and do the optional homework for every chapter.

Charlie was an overall great guy and professor. I had him for both 131 and 132. Lectures can be dry, but it is a must that you go to class. He goes over several problems in the book that will benefit you a lot for the exams. Hes very personable and will always be glad to help you during his office hours. You definitely should consider taking this.

Very good professor. The class has difficult concepts and he has long lectures, but he uses the lectures to explain those concepts very thoroughly. I never used the textbook for anything other than homework problems because he explained things so well. One of the best teachers I've had. Pay attention in class, and the worst grade you'll get is a B.

Thomas is a great teacher but be aware that he doesn't post the notes online and will occasionally give attendance quizzes at the end of class. He goes over textbook problems in class a well so I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you get the loose leaf version of the book so that you can bring the book to class and follow along with him.

Charles Thomas is an amazing professor. I really struggled with the material, I did all the homework, did extra credit and went to tutoring once a week. He was encouraging and helpful, I spent a lot of time going to his office hours to review what we learned in class. I am not happy with my grade, but I could not have asked for a better professor.

Lectures were boring, but I learned so much! He really knows what he is talking about and really cares. He also gives extra credit for just showing up to class and has extra credit on each exam. In total I think I had about 20ish points of extra credit which were amazing. It might seem kinda hard, but I also used Edspira on Youtube for extra help.

Professor Thomas is such a great professor! Hes extremely helpful in office hours!!! His class is incredibly easy and you should get an A with minimal effort!

Charlie is a legendary professor. If you want to actually learn accounting, take this course

Charles isn't necessarily the most entertaining professor, but he really will make sure you know your stuff. If you're struggling, go to his office hours. He really cares about his students if they put in an effort... There isn't much homework at all, just one quick weekly assignment on cengage. The tests are very easy as long as you study.

I LOVED Charlie Thomas. 100% recommend to everyone. The class is just him talking the whole time, but he is explaining everything and taking notes by hand rather than reading off a slide. He does a lot of example problems in class and gives out a bunch of extra credit, like 45 points. Sometimes just for being in class.

He is a good guy and a decent professor. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does attendance quizzes randomly. Examples done in class don't really match the test, so you need to do outside work to pass with a good grade. If you take good notes, get extra help you will pass. But if you're going just to go and not take good notes you'll fail

Professor Thomas' ACC131 class is challenging, but with the right approach it can be manageable. The exams are tough, so staying on top of the material and using resources like Unstuck study for study prep is key. Overall, it's a worthwhile class if you're willing to put in the work.

Amazing. The way he teaches directly corporates to homework and exams. Grade based off of 4 exams and weekly homework assignments. He's so helpful and really wants you to succeed. Remembers his students. Loved him.
