I Work Hard, I Learned a lot, not as bad as you might think.

Excellent Teacher. Thoroughly enjoyed this class. He knows his stuff and is happy to answer any questions

Yeah he makes you feel like an a** when he calls on you and you don't know what the anwser is but he knows his stuff.

very hard class, he's very knowledgeable and expects the exact same out of you no matter how many other classes you have or how much you have to work

All these students that are trashing Sidaway as a jerk or unfairly hard are either lazy or dense. Yes, Sidaway's classes are difficult. It's a difficult subject for most, but Sidaway does a better job as a professor than 99% of those I've had.

People who don't like him are lazy. He gives a large work load, but if you do it all than you will completely know the material and should get at least a 3.0

he was very hard... I studied alot... but didnt do good... he said the first day of class, I am not here to teach you, I'm here to answer your questions

Not an easy class at all, so don't take him expecting one. You will have to know your stuff, and he expects you to. Requires homework but it helps you learn the material.

Extremely intense & demanding. Dumps a ton of work on you initially, and conducts "virtual classroom" for the first couple of weeks. Expect 20-30 hrs of work/wk, no time to dedicate toward other classes. Knows his stuff, but too much for us i

Very intense, but you can learn a lot. Fellow knows his stuff and has no issues in explaing things until you understand. Very very informative and useful class. Try to take with an easier class.

lots of work. randomly calls on people and forces answers whether you know it or not. i kept up on the work (14 hours a week)and got a 3.6.

Requires a lot of work - you will have to study to do well. Most work is submitted online, only two assignments handed in hard copy, and two in-class exams. Prof is more than willing to help if you talk to him outside of class though.

Wow, this guy is honestly a horrible experience. I mean on a 1000 point scale, you can BS like 300 points online, but then there are 2 behemoth exams worth 500 points that can destroy you. He is very smart but way too demanding, expects you to be a CPA.

Sidaway is a very good teacher. He will not force feed students information but requires them to learn themselves. Spends classes going over homework and answering questions. I learned alot in this class

Very knowledgable and always willing to help. He's not a prof for lazy people who need to be spoon fed. Do the work and ask questions, and you'll do fine. Be careful not to overload your schedule. This class will keep you busy, but it will be worth it.

Very good teacher who requires students to learn the material. Do your homework and pay attention in class you should be fine. He will answer any question in class or through email

top-caliber person from many aspects, skilled communicator, very competent. His 200 class is meant to be tough to weed out the underachievers (the people saying that he sucks). Much homework, hard tests, but very fair grading. i got 3.8

The people who complain about this class are a bunch of whining slackers. Sidaway is tough, but you walk away actually learning and retaining something from this class. Don't take him if you are lazy and are uninterested in learning.

I Graduated 10 years ago. Looking back at the class where I learned the most, it was definitely Sidaway. I liked going through it, HATED the final. It consisted of getting the financials for a random company and pricing each stock to within $1 of the book value for each. Only 7 of 20+ finished the class. Definitely a good experience if you’re willing to study up.

He is the best professor I have ever had. He is a great auditor and motivates his students to be just as great. I definetly inspired me to be more open towards auditing profession and that is why I made it my career. I would definetly recommend him to any student. People the cry about him are the people that are not tough enough to withstand his strenght and ambitions to teach. If you take his course prepare to absorb a lot of material and learn what it takes to survive as an auditor and prepare to work

Good guy, but you have to work really hard to do well. Really worth it and you learn a lot if you put in the effort.

Hard class overall. You have to work but a great teacher. I learned alot from him. His teaching style is not typical. You learn, then ask questions. Plan on spending 6+ hours a week out of class to do well. Would take prof. again.

A lot of hard work and studing is important to do well in his class. If you do that then his class should not be that bad.

"SIDAWAY", as he refers to himself, is a good teacher, BUT the exams are very hard and he makes sure you know everything forward and backward. Only 12 out of about 60 people were left at the end of the class... you know, us hard workers with nothing better to do but STUDY.

Sidaway..a.Good teacher as amatter of fact he made you want to learn. It's just those exams..Hmwk is easy, you do need the book and please go to class. But he did let us out early all the time. Acc/finanace majors should take him for sure

he is an excellent 1st acctg teacher. kind of difficult, but it is worth it. i would take his class again - he's really helpful! he is pretty clear in lectures, and the structure of the class is quite conducive to learning accounting - homework due and quizzes are all posted on-line, creating fast approaching assignment deadlines. recommended.

I really loved him as a professor, he's awesome. Very nice and helpful, test are hard and a different format from his teaching and the book but he curves so it's allright. He teaches you really well and tries to help you understand concepts, not just memorize. Really good, i would love to take him agian.

Hard class, but if you're going to major in Accounting you're going to want to take him. As difficult as the class is, if you do the work you will walk away (1) smarter for having taken his class, and (2) with a solid foundation to build on for all future Accounting classes. Stick with him and he'll find a way to get the material through to you.
