Such a great learning experience ! Definitely would recommend. Really enjoyed the class. Good professor.
Homework is fair and helps you prepare for the exams. Funny, uses comic relief to make accounting, an otherwise difficult and boring topic, interesting. Extremely willing to help and responds quickly. Relates concepts to real world examples and current events. Participation is important. Overall good professor.
Professor Chris is no doubt your best option for this class at MU. Topic is very boring (I hate accounting) but he makes it much more bearable. Very down to earth and tries to bring humor to an overall dry topic.
Great teacher, homework helps with exams, good slideshows, offers extra credit opportunities
This class is one of those classes that you get to learn the material in an interesting ,manor. He uses real life examples and is not afraid to go off topic, in a good way.
Very engaging, takes a boring lecture and turns it into a good time. You learn stuff too.
He's a very easy going professor handling a tough subject. He gives lots of opportunities for extra credit, so it's not too hard to pick up your grade if you're having a hard time.
Great professor. Takes accounting and makes it a subject that becomes enjoyable. Very humorous and keeps he class light.
Makes the subject matter more interesting. Good sense of humor. Wants his students to succeed by giving extra credit and preparing for the exams and is willing to explain any problem into more detail
Professor Chris does his best to make this very dull topic (accounting) more interesting. He is always willing to help his students and often offers extra credit options, which are important with this difficult subject matter. Definitely recommend taking his class
Chris does a good job with explaining the math intensive topics and not making things boring.
Chris is awesome. He makes accounting fun, which is shocking. Always answers questions and is willing to help his students. He even gave his cell phone # out and encouraged the class to text him with any issues. Highly recommend, especially since I have struggled with accounting in my undergrad and grad at Monmouth.
Chris is my favorite Accounting professor at Monmouth, hands down. He will help if he knows you are struggling. Accounting is a tough course, no question about it and Chris does whatever he can to make it as bearable as possible. Plus- he's funny, which always helps.
The subject matter is ridiculously hard. Accounting is my worst subject. But he does the best to make it more interesting for the students. Will help students who are not understanding the material.
I enjoy going to class and learning from him. He is very open to helping students. I am able to text him any time if I am struggling with homework or when studying for an exam.
easily one of the hardest classes i have even taken. thank goodness this is my last semester. i will never take another accounting class again. good way to end the mba with this teacher.
Really helps you prepare for the exams, which is great as they can be a bit intensive. Plenty of extra credit opportunities too. Class is fun, always good for a humorous odd conversation and keeping things light .
Makes accounting bearable and easier to understand than usual. Offers extra credit and is reasonable with extra help and questions. Extremely fast responses and willing to help. Homework really helps for tests, take this professor for accounting.
Professor Chris makes accounting fun and easy to understand. Class is not boring like most accounting classes. You will learn a lot in this class.
This class is always fun. More practical knowledge than textbook theory, which helps understanding better.
Good teacher, makes the material fun to learn and keeps the class engaged.
Chris is a very good guy who understands he is dealing with difficult concepts. He seems to genuinely care about his students doing well in his class. Hes one of my favorite accounting professors at Monmouth.
Great teacher. Understands some people do not understand the material as well, so takes the time to go over examples till everyone is comfortable. Would recommend him to everyone.
Keeps class funny and interesting. Everything you learn is very straightforward and if you have any questions he is always willing to answer them.
Makes accounting fun, when it could otherwise not be exciting.
Good guy, wants his students to do well. Likes to move fast, which is good because most of us are good with the material, but if you are not he will slow it down for you. Class is a core group, working together to all learn the material.
He is Nice
Accounting isn't the easiest subject, but he works hard to help you understand it. He's really funny, and class is never boring. He also skips all the fluff and gives you the main information you need to know.
Professor is very knowledgeable and willing to take time to email you quick and help to best of capability.
He is super funny, but he as a specific teaching style. You either get it or you dont, but he is super chill! Gives lots of extra credit, but again, if you arent good with self teaching or available on weekends for reviews where he gives answers, you may struggle. Love him as a person, though!
Professor Raykowski is awesome. Hes hilarious which makes his class enjoyable which is hard because its a 3 hour Accouting course. Allows plenty of extra credit opportunity, gives plenty of time and info for tests, come to class, and pay attention and you will do fine
Great professor, really makes our three-hour accounting class worth it.
He is a phenomenal professor. He helped all the students throughout the course to understand all the concepts and exercises. You should definitely take it.
You get out early every night.
You will never stay longer than 2 hours in this class. Not strict at all and relays the information in a way that is incredibly easy to understand. Tests are easy too, if you study. I had no prior knowledge of accounting, other than hearing it was impossible, and I actually learned something and enjoyed this class.
He is one of the best professors you can take for accounting. Accounting is hard but he makes it sounds so simple and understandable. Totally enjoying this class. In order to pass this class you have to practice. Once you get how everything works its an easy A.
Amazing professor. Totally would take him again.
Accounting is hard but he makes it fun and understandable. Totally would take him again.
He is a great professor and makes accounting a lot easier. Homework is very fair and lectures are helpful. He addresses a lot of what is on the test and allows for a lot of extra credit and extra help. I would definitely take this course again.
Very tough grader, but will definitely work with you. Offers lots of extra credit opportunities so take advantage of them. The class is only difficult due to Accounting being a difficult subject in general. I recommend taking him for this course to help understand the subject better.
Gives everyone a fair chance to do well in the class. Make sure to study because it is a lot of material and just showing up to class wont cut it.
great teacher, does not want you to fail, very fair, easy A if you pay attention in class
really cares about you as a student, does not vive a lot of hw, prepares you well for tests and quizzes before hand
easy class to take if you pay attention not a lot of hw tests are fairly easy

Professor has a lot of knowledge on the material as he is actually in the profession, he takes time to understand your needs and does his best to help you succeed. The material is difficult but with his resources and the SI's help you can definitely succeed in the course. Make sure you take notes and pay attention
Professor has a lot of knowledge and tries to make the subject more interesting for students. As long as you pay attention and complete homework and assignments you will be fine. Super nice guy. Always willing to help students, especially with reviewing the course material

Actually cares about students and wants to see them succeed. Always willing to help if you ask. Makes sure everyone understands the material which is good because this course could be difficult
really cares about the students, throws in humor to his lectures and is an easy going professor. Pay attention and you'll do well.
Professor Raykowski is great! He really CARES about his students and gives alot of extra credit!! he wants students to pass! would absolutely take again
Chris does a great job relating to his students, understanding their confusions and quickly remedying the problem. He is personable, and when it comes to accounting is very knowledgable and passionate and in turn gets us to care about something generally known as "boring." Definitely the type of teacher you want for this course.
One of the best professors that I have taken at Monmouth. He genuinely cares about his students and offers many chances to boost your grade and adds his humor to the class. Before exams he offers a review session on the weekend with the class & makes it easier to help students where they need it. Definitely would take him again!
I loved Professor Raykowski. He was so funny and loved to keep the class entertained. He gives so much extra credit. The course itself is hard but he does a great job teaching it.
Professor Raykowski makes jokes throughout the class and makes it fun. He always asks if everyone understands the topics before he moves on. Participation will help you in this class because he'll provide E.C. a lot of the time. As long as you put in the effort and come to class prepared, you shouldn't have a problem doing well in this course.
This professor manages to make a hard subject teachable to people who are not accounting majors. We are in a three hour and have never stayed the whole time which is good. Do the homework it will help you understand what is going on in class. I would take him again because he is funny and when you do not understand something he makes time for you.
One of the best professors I have taken at Monmouth. Really funny guy who is great at teaching students and at simplifying concepts that may seem complicated at first. If you put forth effort in doing the homework and study, you can get whatever grade you deserve.
The topic itself is difficult but Professor Raykowski explains it really well and gives people plenty of opportunities to get clarification. He lets you text or email him for help on homework for his class and gives a ton of EC class to people who answer questions in class. Hes understanding and really funny. Classes never go the full 3 hours.
Professor Raykowski is a very knowledgable man. He teaches with passion and does well at giving examples so the class will understand more complex topics. It is important to attend class because his lectures are very helpful. He offers a lot of extra credit if you are willing to put in effort. Very sarcastic, very funny.
Very nice guy. Best prof for accounting, tests are hard but he gives his phone number to make him easily accessible to students.
Great guy and even better teacher. Helps you out when needed, definitely would recommend taking advantage of SI sessions and extra credit.
Professor Raykowski is one of my favorite professors so far because he is so accessible if you need help with your work. Although we go through the slides very fast, he gives you his info if you need help at home and replies almost instantly.
I can't imagine you getting a better professor for accounting. Take this class. Just do what he tells you to do, read the chapters before class, pay attention, and PLEASE go to his review sessions, he will go over things directly from the exams. He keeps class entertaining and was almost always let out an hour+ early. (3 hour class)
Raykowski is solid. He is there because he cares about the students and wants to see them succeed. Pretty funny guy compared to most professors as well...
Professor Raykowski was an amazing Accounting professor. He made the subject of accounting bearable with his witty jokes and humor. He tends to fly through the material, but doesn't mind reiterating concepts. I don't recommend taking an accounting hybrid as I did, but the professor was great overall.
he was a very chill teacher the class itself is hard but i highly recommend him as a teacher
Gives lots of extra credit opportunities, if you do the basic studying for test you should be good.
Good professor, gives you a lot of extra credit opportunity in each class. Is easy to talk to and tries to make the information easy to understand with a lot of examples. Homework is due every week online but gives you unlimited attempts on it. If you read the chapters each week and study you should be ok.
He's the most chill professor i've had so far in college. As long as you read the textbook before class and exams you will pass. He offers a ton of extra credit opportunities and even offers to meet on the weekends to have an additional class before his exams. Definitely take him!
This teacher has helped me so much throughout the course, very relatable and great at teaching
One of the best professors that I have taken at Monmouth.
Professor Chris does his best to make this very dull topic (accounting) more interesting. He is always willing to help his students and often offers extra credit options.
This teacher has helped me so much throughout the course, very relatable and great guy.
Professor Raykowski has easily by far been one of the best Professors I've had. He is an extremely personal guy, who loves to crack jokes to keep the class's attention in such a slow topic. It is a new way of teaching for me, that I really liked. I hope to have him again!
best professor ever. hardest context, he makes easy though
He's the most chill professor I've had, so awesome

BEST TEACHER AT MONMOUTH
DEFINITLY TAKE HIM
I love Professor Raykowski.
Best Professor EVER
Truly an amazing person
Professor Raykowski is very a good dude. He really tries to make sure you understand things and offers a ton of extra credit. Take him
This professor was very upbeat and kept the class entertaining for a 3 hour class. Was good at teaching the material.
Great guy good professor, definitely recommend his class!
Guy is an awesome dude, always makes the class laugh and helps out people who are struggling with the course.
Professor Raykowski truly cares about his students and this class. He makes the environment welcoming and fun throwing out the occassional joke. He goes out of his way to make sure the class is understanding the material being given and will explain further if there is confusion.
Great and very understanding professor. Very chill and funny.
Wish I was able to take his class in person. Unfortunately I had to take a 3 hour lecture on zoom. He did his best under the circumstances. He is a very understanding grader. A very nice and genuine teacher. Accounting is no walk in the park so make sure you do the readings and participate as much as possible. Love the Extra Credit. Great Teacher!
Professor Raykowski is great accounting skills and experience. He is very valuable in teaching this subject. He can be very fun and efficient. I would point out that online classes make accounting much more difficult to understand and to remain focused at all times. I think assignments should be better distributed throughout the semester.
Work load throughout the course was fine, until the last three weeks he crammed in multiple exams and several quizzes. He should definitely work on time management. He tends to overestimate students' abilities when it comes to accounting, which is fine I guess. Other than that, the class was OK.
not a good remote professor by any means . doesnt teach at all. he calls skimming slides a presentation. doesnt use the full class time to actually teach the lesson. he still hasnt made an actual syllabus and keeps changing his criteria. he has no calendar and didnt space out our last two tests. hes LAZY and doesnt know how to run a class.
not good in a remote setting and very disorganized. the last weeks of the class he crammed a lot of tests. doesnt care if students dont understand. makes the computer grade for him. at the end of the semester is the only time he really takes to get to know students. Needs work
Super cool guy who is easy going. I wish I had him in person instead of remote because I feel I would have participated more and would not have been as bored. He is very knowledgeable about accounting and is helpful if you have any questions. I'd say he is very organized.
Prof. Raykowski is a good professor, he knows what he is talking about but especially for an accounting class teaching it online is very hard. If you pay attention during class you will do fine, the exams are timed so there really isn't a lot of time to waste if you don't know anything.
Raykowski is a very good professor. He tries to make everything as easy as he can.
Sometimes course is difficult but the professor knows what hes talking about and is willing to help outside of class. Last couple of weeks were hectic but overall he knows accounting and how to teach the course well.
Overall solid professor, definitely knows what he is talking about and connects with students very well. Best professor for this class and he is able to effectively make this tough subject easier to learn. Solid amount of work but nothing that is over the top. Wish it was in person, but still a good class.
Very good professor. Also very quick though.
Professor Raykowski is very knowledgeable in accounting and business in general. This course was difficult,especially if you have no background knowledge in accounting. There was so much information to learn in one semester and were taught by slides at a fast pace. He is understanding and gave extra credit and was accessible outside the classroom.
Very chill teacher but I wish his teaching was more interactive and hands on because he kind of just read off slideshows the whole year and it got boring esp being there for 3 hours. Only 2 really hard tests and just homework every week which really helped you learn it. and make sure you participate during class it matters
Great Professor! Really caring about his students with ample opportunity to get good grades!
Professor really knows the subject and is clearly passionate about it. If you participate, they're very personable and engaging. Lectures are heavy and can be hard to follow at times—it's a lot of info all at once. The class is very lecture-based, so it's easy not to understand if you're not focused. All homework is online.
He was a good professor and you could tell that he love what he does, but it's very textbook heavy and if you really want to understand what's going on you have to read the text book. Also he isn't the best at explaining so if you are a very visual person and need step by step he might not be for you.
He is a good guy and means well but does not know how to teach the subject. He thinks that all the students understand the subject just as well as he does. He teaches everything off of PowerPoints slides and goes way too fast. However, it is not impossible to get a good grade
He's a very good guy, a very good professor, however the course had way too much homework. Homework would take a lot of your time however it was the only thing that would help you understand the class. He's always willing to help however he would zoom past the material, it made it difficult to understand but if you ask him for help he explains it
