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.

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.

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

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
