The professor started this summer (2011) at FGCU. By far the most incomprehensible professor i've ever had. His accent is so incredibly strong, that it's impossible to understand what he is saying. Thankfully I was able to self teach the course using the book and exam study guide. Don't consider this professor unless you plan to self teach.

Good professor, knows a lot about the subject, and really cares about the students in the class as long as you show interest. He does have a really strong accent which makes it hard to understand but if you keep asking questions he will keep answering them. Uses the course packet, makes study uides, and goes over everything pretty thoroughly.

He is a good professor that cares about students who try but at the beginning he was a little difficult to understand. He's excited about the material and wants to help but never just gives answers away. Accounting is my major and I enjoyed him, but others didn't love it. He uses a study guide packet that is helpful and his tests aren't too bad!

Every bad review stated below is 100% true. I've given professors from difficult classes 5 star reviews, but this guy just plain doesn't get it. HORRIBLE communicator, very unorganized with his lecture notes and reviews, does not respond well to emails. If you need this class, TAKE IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Professor Acheampong seems to get much worse reviews than I think he deserves. While his accent and teaching style can make it hard to follow along, if you show that you are committed to learning the material, he will work with you. That being said, if you are looking for an easy pass, this is not the class for you. There is a lot of work to do.

Prof Acheampong is a great professor, great guy and really cares about his students. I learned to appreciate his enthusiasm for accounting early in the morning. He does go fast and theres lots of work, but the class is tough he does his best to help by doing saturday review sessions and gives study guides. He gives you the tools to pass, just do it

Professor Acheampong is definitely intimidating, but once you get used to his sense of humor and style of teaching, his class isn't so bad. If you miss class, you're likely to struggle because he moves so fast through the lectures you'd be missing a lot. His homework is the hardest part about this class, but you get unlimited 'check my work'.

I was unable to understand about 85% of what Professor Acheampong was saying due to his strong accent. He goes fast and ridicules you publicly when asking questions.

I somehow passed. He seems like he is a great person but is unable to teach a course. The work is extremely difficult and takes several hours to complete. He provided little to no help when students asked questions. He also cut off availability several days before the final exam. He also expects students to prioritize his work over other courses.
