Hard class, but great Professor. Clear lectures with real world business experience.
He is amazing with lot of experience
Professor Sobel is an exceptional lecturer. He makes sure everyone one understands the course even if he has to go back to explain the whole concept. Although the course was really depending, he made every effort to get us through the course by giving us series of assignments and working them together with us in class.
The professor that explains everything is details and, you are welcome to ask your questions. I really enjoyed learning Managerial Accounting in his class.
Teaching was clear and easy to understand, very impressed with his ability to continuously talk for more than three hours at a stretch. He is very passionate about teaching.
Best Professor I ever had for accounting.
I wish he offers Finance courses too,
Very good at teaching. A bit strict at grading. Answer emails and questions fast.
A respectful gentleman.. Knowledgeable.. He answers your questions comprehensively out of the regular class time by email as soon as possible.. Comprehensible lectures.. clear voice.. Easy to understand his pronunciation for those who speaks English as their second language..
He is the best professor you could ever have for accounting.
Willing to help at any time and very supportive professor.
Amazing class with Corey
I have not yet received my final grade, so you know this is an honest review! Prof. Corey is very knowledgeable and prepared for the subject. He is always ready to help you in class and any time via email. Midterm and exam are tough, and you need to study hard. There is no chance you can cheat with prof. Corey, as it should be!
The best professor. I learned a lot of things even I didnt have any account background. He is always ready to help students and very understandable. Thank you so much professor! Really appreciable ��
Approachable through emails, quick reply and highly considerable. Genuine gradings. Interactive classroom sessions. Highly recommend.
It was my pleasure to take this course and learn many useful information that help me run my business successfully.
It was a really interesting and valuable course for me as it helped me switch my mind from Russian accounting standards to IFRS. The professor explains all the material very clearly, promptly answers students' questions and is always ready to help, a real professional in his field.
Lectures are great, but the exercise problems in Willey Plus and in the exam are way more complicated. I have never taken accounting before and it was truly difficult for me.
The lectures were very clear and I learned so much valuable information in this course. Would definitely take another class with this Professor.
One of the best lecturers I have ever met. Not because of his teaching skills, main reason is his Kindness.
Professor looks the man of rule and strict, but he is a really friendly, thoughtful and helpful Professor with clear voice.
Teaching Style, Professional Knowledge & Discipline is outstanding.
the professor is very helpful and the lectures are great
he is very helpful when students need solutions for queries he always helps. also, he is very friendly as he understands a student's situation in this pandemic situation. amazing professor.
VERY GOOD INSTRUCTOR WITH A LOT OF INFO TO GIVE. HOWEVER, HE IS VERY NICE AND PROFESSIONAL
Great Prof!
Great professor
He is the best professor, as he gives us a lot of homework, but he provides us with time for that. Moreover, he teaches us awesome.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge professor. I would like to see you again in another class
Corey is one of the best professors in Accounting. I learned a lot of things even I didn't have any accounting background. He is always ready to help students and very understandable. He is very approachable and helpful. Thank you so much for all your efforts professor, Corey.
He was very clear on his delivery. I'm not someone from an accounts background, so he made sure that all studnets understood the subject from scratch.
He is the best professor. Accounts become easy for beginners as well because of him. He will make you buy a subscription, but it will be very beneficial to get that. You will never feel that you have wasted your money on it.
he is helpful prof.
The professor is very helpful and is always available to the students.
Prof. Corey is knowledgeable with his lessons. The assignments although a lot it pushed me to learn more about the lessons. I am a graduate in Accounting major back home but didn't passed my CPA board, maybe if he have been my professor I have passed! He is very good professor.
Great professor with good skills and knowledge. Exams are not easy. But got good grades overall. I would to everyone.
The classes were very clear, the professor really shows he likes teaching and he is very well prepared. The self study was difficult as also the exams (time constraining). Assignments take a lot of time so maybe more grades on them would help.
Very concise and comprehensive lecture. He replies to email questions promptly. Weekly homework is a little difficult compared to his lectures. Better to review the textbook and take the time to solve them. Participation (attendance & homework) has only a 5% mark for the assessment. Exam & group work are important and have more than 25% each.
Respected, assist students,very cooperative
Excellent professor. Reinforced and learn new knowledge regarding the accounting environment. Lots of homework during the course but it helped as practice for the mid and final exams. I will definitely recommend him to future students.
Professor was great and there are lot of practice questions to understand the concept.. He is available and ready to answer all questions.. If you study well, you can score good marks.
He is super fast in class. Someone who has no experience in acct, need to do practice after each lesson. He is a nice, respected, and friendly attitude, but he belongs to a professional industry, not an academic place. The class can be easy who has studied very well.
Professor Corey's lecture has a lot of real world application, which made the lecture much more easier to understand. Attendance is mandatory and his lectures are really approachable for students that has never taken accounting before. Homework and attendance is mandatory, learning accounting is best by practicing.
The best part about classes are that if he doesnt teach you a topic, he wont test you in exams. Further the assignments and group project were very industry oriented.
Corey Is one of the best professors in UCW. The course is not easy but he give you the tools for understand everything. And if you don't understand, he is always available for response to your questions in class or email.
Sobel is a great accounting professor. He is patient with everyone. He provides good feedback. he does give you a good feedback. However, the midterm and the final exams are heavy (at least for me). 30 questions to complete in 60 min. Ensure that you know all the material. If I can, I would take another class with him.
The best teacher ever.
Prof is helping to solve the issues and support to the student.
He is very considerate and very nice. I understand everything despite being new to this field
He is very professional, Very Practical, and straightforward. quick in response explains the Example from the book 'Survey of Accounting', Recommended for a serious learner.
Professor Corey is very accommodating, supportive and flexible. He shows respect to every student and assist in every situation course related matters.
Amazing lectures, very friendly and supportive. The only negative thing I found was he divided group members in the team project himself. Rest he is fabulous.
Amazing professor. It's a shame he doesn't have a class in Sem 2, definitely would have chosen him. Teaches with clarity. Patiently explains everything. He is almost always available to clear your doubts. Be done with your assigned work on time and you're good.
Corey has been very accommodating and helpful while conducting the clases. He clears the concepts and makes sure the quizzes are related to the content covered in the class.
Professor Corey has a very calm presence. He simplifies the subject matter which makes it interesting and not very overwhelming. Thanks, Prof for all your guidance.
The professor is passionate about his profession and explains perfectly every chapter for everyones understanding accurately. He is always on time, accessible by email all the time and answers everyones questions.
Amazing professor! Mr Corey is very clear and systematic in his teaching.
He is good at teaching however, the quizzes are tough. You must put a lot of work to pass especially on quizzes and Assignments.
The instruction is very detailed and clear. The only one thing that makes the class a little tough to non-accounting background students are online quizzes, which were a bit long with mixed types of questions. It would be not challenging for accounting-majoring students. I would recommend to take this professor.
Arguably one of the best teachers at UCW. He delivers every lesson with clarity. He always keeps everything clear, concise and on-point. The calculation questions on the quizzes are always exactly the same as the homework he gives so If you do all of his homework and check the solutions, you will have no problem getting AT LEAST 80-90% of the test.
He is my favorite Professor so far, good thing that I took him on my 1st sem in UCW. He is good at teaching!
Highly recomended
One of the best professors at UCW! He makes Accounting easily understandable even for students without Accounting backgrounds. His lectures are clear and concise, he is easily reachable even outside class hours & responds to your queries quickly. We have 4 quizzes which are not very hard as long as you study well, 1 individual & 1 group paper.
Professor is amazing! Accounting is the only subject that I afraid for my MBA journey. I am very lucky to meet professor with such talented in teaching, couching and caring. Thanks so much professor!
Amazing Lectures, explains the concepts really well with real-life examples, even if you are not from a finance background, you wouldn't have a problem getting good grades.
Very patient
Clear lectures, very reasonable, clarifies any questions, applies the concepts to business. Grades are straightforward. I've no accounting background but I made an effort to study and did a lot of practice exercises and got an A+ Wiley Plus not required. He shares videos for asynchronous so you don't have to read the book. He's the best.
Prof. Corey is the best prof for me so far specially for those who have zero experience or knowledge in Acctg. You will really learn a lot from him. I will truly recommend him. Hes also a fair grader, very approachable and he is very helpful.
He is one of the best professors in Canada West. He teaches very well and is not strict in grading. I hope to have lessons with him again.
He has great knowledge of Accounting
Amazing professor.. Highly recommend him
The professor is very clear, didactic, and friendly. The course content is heavy for non-accountants, reviewing the book is crucial.
One of the best professors I had. He teaches very well and made accounting a whole lot easier. He is approachable and answers emails promptly. Highly recommended professor.
As you all know accounting is a practical subject, so the professor makes it easy in an online class and what he can do in an offline class. All the concepts are clearly explained and understandable by the student
Professor Sobel makes sure that the students will understand the accounting concepts and techniques delivered in the lecture and go through examples and give homework questions for further practice.He is very punctual and goal oriented. We got good grades. For any clarification you can reach out and Professor will help you to understand it better.
A+++. One of the best teachers. Presented Acct in a beginner-friendly way. Open to questions. Accessible outside class. Organized moodle. Gave homework (optional, not graded) and discussed the answers in class. Quizzes were challenging for a beginner like myself, but we had everything we needed to ace the class, if we studied well.
I am very grateful to the professor. I remembered and learned new things. I had difficulty following the subject quickly. However, the professor was very patient. Again thank you very much for being very professional in your teaching. Best regards, Elena Maldonado
Very Good Professor.
Prof. Corey is very reasonable when it comes to grades. Participation and review are required. Prof. Corey will ask to watch the chapter's video for advanced learning. Overall Prof.Corey is an excellent professor you can learn accounting even though you don't have a background in this course.
Professor is really nice and kind. would recommend for anyone to select the lecturer without any hesitation
He is really good
Great prof easy to get a hold of and gives feedback in a timely manner.
He is responsive to queries, and lectures may look easy. Still, you need to read to understand the assignment because his lectures are not always on the weekly online assignments, fair grader, 4 quizzes online but taken in class with time pressure, 1 individual case, and 1 group case and presentation for the final term.
Professor is the best! The best knowledge sharing and unique techniques in lectures made me realize the concepts. in fact, I am now very interested in accounting and finance, and I might even change my career path after I got my degree.
Professor Corey is great Accounting professional. He has huge knowledge on Accounting & Finance domain. I really enjoyed his lectures. Most important aspect of his class is, he goes with the basics & explain concepts in understandable accounting language. I would recommend professor for Accounting & Finance subjects. Thanks, CA Sanjay Sapkal
If you read the course material, you will not have any problem in passing the exams.
He is one of the best professors at UCW. Enjoyed his lectures, with very few grading criteria. 4 Quizzes, 1 Individual & Group Case with Presentation. Easygoing and always gives feedback and responds after class. I would definitely take him again.
Prof. Is good at teaching but a tough grader. Even the homework quiz are tough and you will get once chance to clear it. Also, the quiz in the classes are really tough and sometimes out of syllabus. There is no easy way to pass his class. You need to study.
He is very friendly and his level of instruction is very high
Corey is the most organized teacher thus far! He stays on top of his email communication and class assignments. Students got to study and prepare for the projects and weekly quizzes, but achieving a decent grade was still very feasible. The professor has excellent presentation skills, and the way he talks in class is very clear and smooth.
His explanations are clear, he is engaged with his classes, and he helps you out if you have questions. Weekly homework is complicated, bi-weekly quizzes are complicated and against the clock. One of the best professors at UCW.
Prof. Corey explains the subject very well. But, the assignments and quizzes are very hard. The problems are so complicated than what he discussed. During quizzes, we have very little to compute and we can't go back to questions to review. We're so pressured. Also final groups are randomly selected. He also doesn't provide feedback on the quizzes.
I had a great experience. I really enjoyed this course and would recommend Professor Sobel to anyone considering taking this course. I am not from an accounting background which made it challenging, however if you attend all lectures and put in the work you will do well!
He is wonderful. Lectures and course materials are very related to the quiz or assignments. Don't have any unusual topics in course materials, only the related topics that makes the course very easy going. He is very supportive and understanding.
Nice prof. Very supportive. Teaches the basic concepts very well.
The professor is an excellent educator who delivers organized and informative lectures. To achieve a good grade, be prepared to study both in class and at home. I enjoy his classes and hope to see him again in the future on other occasions. PS: Accounting can be challenging, so be prepared to study. Without a background, you may feel some pressure
Excellent Professor in the university.
Professor Corey Sobel is generally a good man. He gives good grades; you need to do well. Three in-class quizzes, one group assignment, one individual assignment, weekly Wiley quiz, and weekly ed puzzle video. You can have good marks if you put a little weight on the accounting background. He is a good professor and I want to take him again.
he is good professor.if ur from accounts background u will understand easily.wiley assignments are bit tough but worth it for class quiz. no cheating in his class. he is very good prof.
The professor teaches with clear, organized lectures. Non-accounting students may find it challenging initially, but with dedicated in-class and at-home study, success is attainable. Though Wiley assignments can be tough, they're beneficial for quizzes. Overall, he's an excellent, engaging professor who offers clear explanations and support.
prefect
He is an amazing professor, even if you are not from an accounting background, you will still understand everything.
He is the best in teaching, recording a weekly video to help his students, which help in the weekly assignments. The individual assignment is made at home, no test but 3 quizzes take in class with excel and formulas. Take him!
Professor Sobel is knowledgable and teaches the concepts well and he is a fair grader. Everything is being tracked and will be graded accordingly. This is not an easy-going class. Be very careful of tests because if you know the concepts. The time limit of the test is very less for someone who hasn't practiced the problems.
I think for all accounting classes, you have to pay another 100 CAD$ to access an outside platform - mandatory, and all the txt and most of the assignments are from there. He is accessible but keeps his distance ... speaks very clearly... but I almost failing ... But I do recommend
Great professor. Highly recommended.
Excellent professor. He is the best. I will surely take him again. Explain concepts very clearly. Gives very good feedback.
He is one of the best professor in UCW.
Less flexible
Highly Recommended. He is one of the good professor in UCW. Very professional and friendly in class hours. He will respond to our mails. His teaching is very clear.
I enjoyed his classes a lot and his Edpuzzle lectures were very explanatory. Wiley was the hardest part of this class, we would have 15-17 questions with subsections. overall he is a good lecturer.
He is a gem, very very amazing!! Best experience ever. I still miss his classes even after the course is done. Take him and make your course meaningful.
Excellent teaching. I am not from an accounting background yet I got good grades. He explains things very clearly. Very responsive to emails. No mid or final exams. Very supportive. In-class pen and paper quizzes are pre-informed and if he includes any new style question, he would explain it before the quiz starts. Go for him. One of the Best
Excellent teaching, no OGL, very light workload. Very supportive and approachable. No exams. Grading from 3 in-class closed book pen and paper quizzes (he supports well), 1 individual assignment, 1 group assignment, weekly ed puzzle activity, weekly wiley quizzes. With a non-accounting background, still you will score high. Highly recommended.
If you want to work hard, take him. You will learn and earn good grades. It's not for the faint-hearted. Weekly take-home quizzes, one individual assignment, one group assignment, No PPTs, one midterm exam and one final exam each on the laptop.
you get good grades only when you work on it
I studied Mr. Corey Sobel for the ACCT621 class in UCW. He was amazing, with many examples leading to more understanding about what we are studying. One of the best teacher I've ever studied. Much respect !
Most awful teacher ever, gives in class assignments every week. Made the most hard excel to us in the first week. No care for students. Is also very rude. Please dont take him
Really enjoyed his class! Not super easy, but actually learned valuable life info. Never liked Accounting before until I took his class.
Great lectures and great Professor. Some concepts are a challenge but I would definitely take him! Study the examples from class big help for exams
If U are someone not studying much and want to pass without studying don't go for him. Cz he would make sure U studied for pen paper exam (3ppe) .Otherwise he is a good teacher.
One of the best profs you can take for accounting
Best professor anyone can think of. Highly recommended. Take him without thinking twice and thank me later.
Best Professor at UCW.
Highly recommended professor who explains concepts clearly. Edpuzzle lectures were very helpful. Wiley platform was challenging, but Unstuckstudy proved to be a useful study tool alongside the textbook.
Amazing teacher
Best professor I had with ACCT background, good class, got refreshed and learned even more from him. A must take in ACCT.
Corey is a great professor. He taught my BFIN 249 class online. It was fun, enjoyable and he makes everything super clear. He has straight forward assignments and his lectures are very easy to follow. Great teacher and very helpful if you do by chance get hung up or stuck on something. Positive attitude, patient and caring. Would highly recommend!
Very hard to pass. Big regret of my MBA. You will get low grade.
Need to study to do well if no acct backround, but he is best prof for acct. Take him if have the chance
Tough grader, if you are not good at math, dont take him, he will fail you.
If you work hard you will get 100 in exam as well as in assignments. The professor teaches very well about every single topic in accounting. Only your hardwork will payoff in his course. Quizes are in class pen paper based which are pretty hard but manageable.
He's a very good professor. Teaches in a very understandable, clear manner. I'm not from an accounting background, but still got an A. But you've got to put some effort and do your homework too. If you work well, he gives good grades. Don't expect to do nothing, put no effort, and score well. That's not gonna happen with any professor.
Amazing professor. The course was easier for me due to my accounting background, but even my friends without that background earned A grades because they put some effort to learn. Effort matters—don't expect good grades without doing the work. He explains clearly and grades fairly. No professor rewards doing nothing.
Tough course, if you are not good at math you will not do well.
Not easiest course but he is very very good Prof!
Best accounting class I've ever taken
Average class, materials ok.
He is best accounting professor in the university
Average lectures, average grading. Was ok but not great.
Course was challenging and so so, not easy to get high marks.
If your taking Accounting this is your guy. He is the best professor here teaching it. So organized, clear assignment schedule, and his lectures are structured and easy to follow. He actually teaches you what you need to know - which is almost rare among professors.
It is very very tough grader.
He is best professor at the University. Thought I would pass and he helped me many times through the semester
Professor taught in a way that made it easy for students to understand. I don't like numbers, but I actually enjoyed his lectures and learned lots from this class. Would take him again
