If you go to class, pay attention, and can follow what he is doing you will do good on the tests with only minimal studying. There are some tax returns projects but no actual tax returns are done during class so you have to figure it out on your own. Final exam was a tax return done on software - I had no idea what I was doing.

Dr. Wadhwa is fair. Good prof. A bit difficult to understand accent, but said if we don't, ask to repeat-it won't hurt his feelings. Took both individual (A) & corporate (C) from him. To me, individual easier; corporate a bit more complicated. He's key on breaking down difficult concepts for class. "Fair" best describes this prof, but has limits.

I made the mistake of being skeptical about his review for the first test. Do not make the same mistake. Make sure you go to class and take notes. Being there for the test review is a must. Tests are just like what he teaches in class. Learn to do every problem on the review and you'll do great.

If you failed this class this semester you did not put any effort at all. There were 3 exams & 2 tax returns. His sample tests/reviews that he gives before the exam is basically exactly like the actual exam, except he changes the numbers. He is not as bad as others write on here. Pay attention, do the problems & reviews & you'll be fine. Easy class

I took him for Individual Income Tax and Corporation Tax. Wonderful professor, he read from chapter and then work a problem related to what he just went over. Exams are similar to review,just know the rules that apply to certain problems. Whatever you do,don't blow off the first exam (thank me later)

If you actually want to learn something in this class, then I would stay clear of this professor. However, if you're just looking for an easy A then this is the professor you want. There was a total of 4 grades in the class, a midterm, 2 tax returns, and a final. Tests are exactly like the reviews and he gave the answers to the 1st return.

Dr. Wadhwa shows up to class prepared to teach and expects students to be prepared too. He's available (phone, email, office hours). He has a lot of real-life stories--funny and helpful. He encourages not being afraid to make mistakes. Not easy A, but very do-able A. Struggling? Talk to him ASAP, he works with you. Definitely Recommend.

Great professor always willing to help students out if struggling. He gives his number for students to personally contact him and takes time out to ensure success in his class for students. He's always on time and ready to teach the class there were around 10 writing assisgnments, 1 research paper and 1 exam. It is a a very manageable A.

He is very knowledgeable professor, He will teach you how to do Tax Research case by case and he will guide you where to find the resources. He is always available to help you for you to sucess.

Professor is very disorganized. He will give you research assignments and doesn't explain clearly what his expectations are. He will leave you to google everything and have you find out information on our own. Take off points heavily if you don't include information word by word or how he would like it. Basically not clear with instructions.

He's really bad. His teaching is not understandable, there are 3 tests and 2 projects. His reviews are helpful, but he is extremely bad at explaining. You will not understand what he's trying to explain. Super super bad professor! Please pick someone else and be successful!

Easy class, pay attention, ask questions. STUDY HIS TESTS REVIEW. Let him know that you want to succeed and he will help you. He is old and deft, nice person. 3 tests, 2 easy tax projects. Some small extra credit. He hardly reply to emails.

I took this professor and he was not helpful at all. It didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. He would always make mistakes and the students would have to correct him. Worst teacher I've had. His tests were just like the reviews so that's helpful.

Course grades were only three tax returns and three tests but he does everything possible to prepare you for them. If you follow his reviews for tests and study exactly as he lectures (he does post recordings to go back and watch again) you will do fine. Also held multiple extra study sessions for his courses even on weekends. Highly recommend.

I took this course online. Attendance was mandatory. There were supposed to be 3 tax returns and we were only give 1 and three tests. Lectures seem to be all over the place as well as the reviews for the tests. Profesor is super unresponsive to emails or texts, only way to get ahold of him is by calling. Would not recommend this profesor at all.

I liked this professor however there are very few things that are graded in this class. 3 exams and 2 tax returns and that is it. He did give our class 5 pts extra credit. He does a review right before the exams and goes over the exact questions that he is going to put on the exams.

The professor's teaching style may take some getting used to, but if you engage with it, you'll do well. His test reviews are incredibly helpful - study them thoroughly and you'll be set. Unstuck Study AI was a lifesaver for me too!
