pretty good, if you don't do the assignments, you are screwed

No Comments

if you go to class and do the assignments and ask questions during class you will do well. if you don,t understand somethign he is glad to spend extra time before he moves forward.

Take this guy if you are willing to work hard. Do that, and you will get on his good side and be very successful in his class.

Hard class, not porf. Very clear, may be bit too fast, but if you let him know, he will back up.

One of the best teachers at the university. Taught the class well, associated with students well, made the classes interesting. Fast paced at times, but will clarify when necessary.

One hell of a nice guy, loves golfing, the class was just hard. Do the work and the assignments and see him if you need help and you should be alright

Great professor, challenges you on exams so you actually have to study and have to have learned something. If you dont like to do the work and stay current you wont make it.

He is my favorite professor that I've had here. He challenges the students, but I don't feel that he is unfair in his expectations. You will work hard in his classes, but your work does pay off in the end.

He's a nice teacher a little hard with the tests just do all the assignments he assigns and you should be fine. Just dont slack or give up or you are screwed

He is very Professional. Helps you out when you need it. Answers all emails. Just don't call him Sir. Exams are not easy nor hard. Just read the book. The cpu project is easy. No homework, or hand in assignments. He adapts to the class quite well--CURVE.

He is a highly competent prof. His test are hard, but what the hell do you expect? Very helpful for class related material and getting into the real world of Accounting. I've learned a lot about accounting and what I want to do in the future from him

hes the man, most competant prof. going, very nice guy, tests arent the easiest, but c'mon its accounting, do your work youll be fine, id reccomendig picking up the work sheets that go with the book, big help!

He's a really nice guy. He will help you out if you need some clarification. It's a lot of work, you just have to make sure you truly understand the material. Tests are just like the homework.

his lectures are interesting...tests are really hard u must understand the material...must know both, the problems and the terms to be able to do well...sometimes he cureves...he does offer help if u need it over all a good teacher.

he is a really good teacher. hard but good. he is funny and he is very into what he is teaching. he expects you to do the homework before you come to class. he goes over the homework also. and he has no probelm with helping. let him know that you are having problems if you bomb the first test.

Wagaman IS the man. I took him for both and I have learned more in his class than any other by far. His class can be a little demanding because you do have to go to class but your guaranteed to learn because he has a profound knowledge of his profession. These were the only 8:oo classes I ever went to AND stayed awake. I will take all his classes!

From not remembering much from Acct I I did pretty well in his class. He was clear and helpful in explaining things and tests weren't too bad either.

Wagaman is a fair prof. If you go to class and pay attention, you will do fine. He is willing to help you if you have questions, and if you need more help, there is SI and tuitoring.

The messages on this site are VERY FALSE about Wagamam.Morons hate accounting and blame him for their own mistakes.Can't say enough good about him.Extremly fair when it comes to grading, honest, down-to-earth, funny, witty, conducts very well-organized lectures and his exams are perfectly challenging-goes over every problem.Great class all around

Prof Wag is a great guy and a great teacher. Yes, he makes classes more difficult and that is so we learn and aren't handed everything on a platter. He makes us think so we will be able to apply it in the real world. He is very helpful, inside and outside of class. He is always willing to take time to meet. I have him to thank for new great job :)

Prof Wagaman is a great teacher. He really takes the time to make sure you understand the material. He is very willing to help outside of class. The material is hard, so you really need to put in the effort... and it seems others are blaming him when they have trouble.

Prof wagaman is a great accounting professor, he is very helpful and defines things well. if you take the time to study for his class you'll do fine. his tests come from class assignments. I got a C in his class because i didnt work at it, he is not out to fail you, I got an A on a quickbooks project and he deducted as little points as possible.

Prof. Wagaman was the most helpful professor during my time at KU. He was always willing to listen and took the time to go over topics. He expected you to put forth your best effort and grading you accordingly. His expectations are not unrealistic. Accounting is not an easy subject and he does his best to prepare students for the "real world".

A lot of people dislike Prof. Wagaman, but for both of my general accounting courses he was a good professor. He does move fast, but that's expected in a college course. Just do the problems as you go if you think you're going to get lost, or just look over them before the tests, and you'll be just fine.

Teaching Technique is great. I actually got and understood accounting. Test are exactly how he tells you they are going to be. Definitely buy the workbook so you can have the pre-printed sheets for homwework problems. Test problems are similar to homework. Go to class and do the homework and you will do fine. He goes over everything.

He is the best accounting teacher out there. He makes the information very clear, and the tests are straight up. The homework problems look very similar to the test problems. He seems to grade fairly and helps you out if your grade is close to a higher one.

Don't take if you are just trying to get through Accounting, otherwise he is one of the best profs at KU. He really knows his stuff and is up front with what is going to be on the tests. Just show up and take the class seriously and you should be fine

I think Prof. Wagaman is an amazing professor. I definitely struggled with this class, but I made an effort and only missed one class. He's a funny guy, and says some crazy stuff, but in a cute way. He's not bad to look at for an older guy too. I think I want to take him for Managerial next semester. Go to class and like he says "STAY CURRENT"

Very good professor, he really knows his material. If you plan on majoring in accounting take him. He's one of the best accounting professor at explaining the material. His test are similar to the homework questions, but a little harder. I didn't think he was that hard, i got an easy A. But u if don't go to class or do your homework you will fail.

Prof Wagaman is an Awesome teacher and he really knows the subject matter. You have to do the work to succeed and study the material to get the grade you want. He will defiantly help you out. Study at least an hour a day and do the work and that's what he expects. He still remembers me from one class I had with him over two years ago.

You really need to read the chapters and DO THE HOMEWORK. Believe him when he says STAY CURRENT. I took him for SummerI and you really had to stay on top of things. I thought he was a great teacher in making sure you understood everything. I reviewed the homework and study guide to prepare for tests and received A's.

One of the best professors in KU. If you want to be good at acc better take him. He gives good amount of information maintaining a good quality of education. Definitely I recommend this professor to students who have some ambitions, very good professor.

Wags is the man. He likes people who like good music. I was wearing a Josh Ritter shirt and he gave me a high-five. Coolest prof in all the land. Yes his tests are hard, yes i got a A, but having Wags as a prof is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Oh, and one time I golfed with Wags, fun as heck.

Nice guy, a bit crazy, but knows what hes teaching. Very important to attend class or you will fail. Test are very hard and gives a lot of homework that he grades.

This guy is, by far, the best and overall easiest prof to take - esp for non-majors. i had previously failed financial acctg and i don't like the subject.. but he made it seem like i was quite able to do the coursework. he helps you out if you need it.. enjoys being friendly with the students... i definitely reccomend him!!!

Professor Wagaman is an all-around great guy. He knows his stuff. Terrific sense of humor and vast knowledge of college basketball too.

Knows accounting very well. read the chapter, do the assigned problems. tests come DIRECTLY from the homework problems and quizzes. work and you WILL pass.

This class is very hard in my opinion. You must put a lot of time into the material or you won't do good. It's as simple as that. He does his best to try and make something difficult to teach as clear as he can. Keep doing the homework problems over before the test, it helps!

Good professor. Class and material is tough. I suggest going to class EVERYDAY, tests are tough but material is based off of the homework problems, practice them time and time again. Be prepared to work hard in this course. I worked extremely hard and managed to get a B my first time. Many people failed the second time around so slackers beware.

Most students struggled in his class because it was open book/notes and they did not study. This is TAX accounting... the USA has the most complex tax code in the world so you must read each chapter twice and study the homework problems. students didnt study and blamed wagaman for failing. tough tests but he's a fair grader. worked and I got an A

There are so many unfair comments about this professor. He is a great teacher! You can learn a lot in his class. He has a great personality and charming smile. I had fun in his class. The bottom line: If you want an easy A without much work, you should avoid him. You should take him if you truly want to learn about accounting.

Wag is a great guy, the course was not too bad he is very clear with examples took it during the summer so like any other summer course its rushed but he tried hard to make sure we understood. the test are hard but he does explain things well so i made it out with a B. Cool guy

Incredibly intelligent and able put things in plain terms, but PAY ATTENTION in lecture. He is one of the hardest acc profs but he cares a LOT. DO THE HOMEWORK. It's not mandatory, but helps you learn and all tests problems were like the HW. People say they failed but they took notes the entire time, didn't listen well in class and didn't retain it

All around good guy. Had him for Tax I and Tax II. Tests are not a walk in the park, and he changed from open note to closed note between semesters which caused a lot of stress. Very energetic guy. Wants (and expects) the best from his students. If he goes to open note, and you prepare well, you can succeed.

Prof. Wagaman is notoriously tough no doubt about it. Those who major in accounting have him for Tax and Senior Sem. Tax is very demanding and requires a lot of hours into studying the material. Senior Sem is more laid back and as he himself puts it, an easy B. He rarely gives extra credit and requires attendance even though it does not count.

Good professor, more than willing to help. Does not let students get by merely memorizing the material, you have to learn it in order to do well which greatly helps in the long run. Tests are difficult but if you put in the time and effort you will get a lot out of the class with a decent grade.

Prof. Wagaman is a really great teacher. Accoutning is a really hard course but he is very clear and tries to make sure everyone understands the material. He is a tough guy at times but he is really nice. Would recommend!!

You have to work hard to do well in the class. He does curve the exams depending on how the class did. There are three exams and a final. The first exam is really easy and i thought the second one was the hardest. Make sure you study the homework from the book because the questions on the exams look like them more. Don't skip class and goodluck.

A very nice and funny/sarcastic professor but has pretty tough tests that are very detail oriented. Very helpful if asked for help and is always open to help but also goes at a fast speed for material learned. Homeworks are easy but expects you to retain material quickly too

Prof. W. is a phenomenal teacher. He makes it very clear about what's important. Do your HW and prepare for class. Those who do poorly in his class don't do the HW. If you simply do the HW you can ask him questions when he works out problems in class. He encourages active participation and is passionate. His class is hard because accounting is hard

DO THE HOMEWORK. Do the homework twice. The material, by nature, is tough, dry, and opaque; however, he manages to make it clear. DO THE HOMEWORK. The tests are difficult, but are open notes; if you did the homework, you'll do well on the tests.

Like others have said, DO THE HOMEWORK. Tax is tough, but its not unbearable. Wagaman's a good guy, he curves the exams and is forgiving of bad scores if he sees you're actually putting in effort. If you pay attention in class and take good notes, the exam questions will look very familiar.

Solid accounting professor. You will either love him or hate him, depending on your personality, as he comes across very strong on the topics in class. However, this is only because he really is passionate about what he teaches, and it makes learning the material that much easier. The exams are difficult, but most of it is open notes.

He's very knowledgeable and puts his heart into teaching. He's definitely passionate about what he teaches. His classes are difficult, but he's very helpful if you go to him over his office hours. It's true, his tests are brutal, but I think he's trying to prepare his students for the CPA exam, which, I believe, is much more brutal!

Best accounting teacher I ever had. The class was brutally hard, but he kept lectures interesting and engaging. Tests are HARD but he's good with giving partial credit when you get part of a problem correct and plenty of extra credit opportunities.

Awesome!! always makes time to eat and make his sandwiches !
