I had him as an online professor. He's confusing and not very helpful. Both midterms and final's are open book however, I just studied the textbook alone and easily finished with an A-. I would recommend the online class only, as he has a very thick accent. Easiest Acct class i've ever taken.

Everyone seems to love him for 311316, but for 315 it was his first time teaching it and it was atrocious. Never been more lost in my life.

David is a straight G. Don't disrespect him.. Definitely one of the most knowledgeable accounting Profs. My peers skip his class so much, but every lecture is worthwhile. Don't be scared off by his accent because it doesn't even matter since his accounting language is on point. Take it from a fourth year accounting major David is a G.

Every class he says "Don't miss class" noting that it will be very difficult to pass if we miss, but I'm finding that when I do go to his class I'm more wasting my time than gaining information. The language barrier is a big thing if you find difficulty in that. Assignments aren't necessarily difficult if you read through powerpoints and the texts.

During my online course with this prof, I maybe heard from him 5-6 times. His online delivery is formatting so he has to do as little as possible: no lectures, only powerpoints. Information needed for the (untimed and open book) quizzes is not always in the powerpoints so use the textbook. The PDF from Pearson works perfectly fine.

Did as little as possible. During Q&A sessions kept repeating that if we have any questions, we should read the textbook. Language barrier goes both ways. He rarely understood what the student questions were. He provided vague comments to the assignment. All assignments, tests, slides were from Connect, no actual lectures or additional content.
