No Comments
Im getting an A in the class, but only because I read. His tests are based on the vocabulary and sample tests at the end of each chapter. Also the book has a website for addt'l tests that really help too. Don't expect a good grade unless you put effort in
Lecturer are not clearly explained. More on exercises.
He is an ok teacher, you just really have to study hard and the tests are not very clear. But if you do the work, you should do ok.
The material is not difficult, but his method of teaching is very confusing. No short cuts, everything is a long drawn out process. A simple review of what will be on the test would be nice, but impossible even if you ask him. Take someone else.
He is very direct and to the point and will call you on your mistake, point out whats wrong with you, put you on the spot. So..pay attention, read, read, read, take notes from chapters, show up for class and since you get 1 page of notes, you'll be cool.
Wasson is very tough and doesen't care about you individually. Don't take him if you can.
Expert on his subject, better pay attention and read the book if you want to pass.
You have to set an appointment with him outside of class if you have questions about the homework. No one likes asking questions of how he acts when you do. He makes it seem as though he cares more about the paycheck than the students. Avoid if possible
The best advice I can give is - DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS! He is rude, sarcastic, a jerk, etc. It's amazing he gets paid to do nothing.
WORST TEACHER EVER!! he will humiliate you if you ask questions, and HE DOES NOT TEACH A DAMN THING! he will tell you that if you do not uunderstand, to read the book,and you will have to teach yourself. Hardest class and worst teacher ever!!
Not very hard material, it is all pretty logical. He is a nice guy unless you get on his bad side or he has a bad day. He is rude and really seems tired of dealing with younger students.
He's tough but helpful...Nice guy to boot.
You better show some respect whenever Professor Wasson's name is brought up! He teaches accounting. For those students who want to get into Acct, this material is CAKE! Just wait till you transfer to a four-year school.
he's not as bad as some of these ratings. though he is sarcastic and rude sometimes, but full of knowledge sometimes funny. tough teacher/material. knows his stuff. but pay attention or you'll fall behind.
Smart, probably knows his stuph in his own genuie way, but a pompus in a way how he'll make you feel stoopid before he teaches. Other than that, keep up with your reading and tests will be fine. (PS to hear that guy lecture at 7am is really tidous)
If yor major is Accountancy and plan to transfer to a university take him because all the classes here at SDSD are as hard as his.However if your major is not Accountancy I strongly recommend you not to take this MOTHER ****ER. He doesn teach anything.
He is the worst!!! Has no patients what so ever. He lectures for 15 minutes and then sits down at his desk reading a book. Oh...don't dare disturb him because according to him you should already know this material. I recomend Mrs. Hunter or I've hear Mrs. Suter is good.
just bring a pillow!!
Excelent Teacher!! He is hard at first, because he weeds out all the people that normally drop out of community college anyways!. If you are an accounting major take him, or else you will spend three months with Suter learning TCharts and get hammered when you get to a university.
Might seem mean and strict at first, but really is a straight forward teacher. Only lectures about what you really need to know for the tests. But you need to do the reading. Very nice and willing to assist you when you need help. Treats all students lke adults. Also, he doesn't take attendence!
I have had this teacher twice. He does seem to have hard working methods, but once he mellows down he is really good. He explains everything clear and makes sure that you understand it all.
If your majoring in Acct and transferring take him, he teaches the same way at SDSU
Do your homework or die in this class. He is an excellent teacher but has no patience with slackers. You can't fall behind even one class or you're toast. I learned a lot from him and if you wanna' know what acct is like at the big university, take him. He teaches them identically.
he's great people are just stupid.
He is very difficult to understand. He does not like to answer questions. I took the class over again from another professor. Much easier to understand.
His excuse for not answering questions is that he teaches just like at State. Lectures are not helpful.
This guy really, really sucks. When you ask him a question, he says don't ask me look into your book. Maybe the answer to my question is not in the book. very hard, won't take his class if my education depended on it.
he doesn't like to help, he wants us to do everything on our own, he is very very strickt is not flexible. he is very prepotente.
Unless you can teach yourself I'd recommend another teacher. HE SUCKS! I might as well have taking the class online. Lectures are pointless, when you ask a question he says: "What did the book say?" Feels like you should know the subject, I dont know that's why i'm in the class...get off your high horse & teach for a change!!!
Don't recomend to take this teacher at ALL! He doesn't teach and expects you to know all the assignments when you come to class.If you are lost he wont even bother to help you. I had him for fast track, but eventhough he really doesn't care if u passed or failed the class. Only 5 students passed his class out of 29. Waste of ur time and money.
If you are interested in learning something, take him. He teaches like in the university, if you are transfering to a Uni, you learn a lot.
Im sorry-i think he is a good teacher. Im tired of those professors at SWC who hold ur hand through everything. Im not in High School anymore. This guy gets you prepared for REAL college classes. Those of you who are unsatisfied with the way he teaches-you have a rude awakening waiting for you when you transfer! Good Luck.
..Good & patient teacher, treats & speaks to you like an adult. Goes through each lesson step-by-step. Will drop your lowest test score (out of 4)& provides an extra credit exam at the end! The course may seem challenging; however, he has his way of "understanding" you if you're struggling.
I like you as a person. However, i think you teaching methods could improve. See ya around Bud.

Can you believe this guy, his biggest excuse for being a bad teacher is he teaches the same way at SWC as he teaches at SDSU. Hello we are not in SDSU you ****in idiot.
Not a bad teacher. You feel like youre really starting to understand accounting when he lectures, but when it comes to the tests, you leave feeling stupid. His tests are hard. You really have to study and read the book!!!
I DO NOT recommend this teacher at all! He was so boring and tried to crack jokes that so lame! He was very unclear in his lessons and he did not make the subject at all interesting! Not to mention he flew through all the chapters! Made u read 2 chapters a week! I dropped his class
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! HAS KNOWLEDGE OF MATERIAL. ARTICULATE, CLEAR EXPLANATIONS OF ACCT PROCEDURES. BE PREPARED WHEN U COME TO CLASS: READ. MANY OF US RECEIVED A'S & B'S IN CLASS. 4 TESTS, DROP LOWEST 1. HMWK FOR PRACTICE ONLY. FINAL TEST-COUNTED AS XTRA CREDIT. HIS SYSTEM IS GENIUS! TAKE ADVANTAGE & LEARN FROM THE BEST!
Why do people expect him to pull rabbits out of his a**.This ain't the circus.Comedy show is that way>> People shouldn't blame the teacher for their own lack of discipline. Once u read the book everything makes sense: lectures, problems, practice hmwk etc. You'll realize, what a great teacher: an EXPERT in acct. Make effort=> guaranteed A in class.
This guy’s biggest excuse for being a horrible teacher is he teaches the same way as he does in SDSU. Hey idiot we are not in SDSU and even if we were we will definitely not take your boring class.
THIS GUY IS HORRIBLE! Worst Professor I've had at SWC. His teaching method [if you want to call it that] is bad. He doesn't even teach. I dont understand why there is even a class hour. If I wanted to teach myself Accouting I would have taken an Online class. Expects you to know the material. HELLO IT'S CALLED ACCT 101! INTRODUCTION CLASS! DUH!!!!!
Mr. Dick is defenitly a person with great knowledge but, he is only in class to answer question he thinks that student should teach themself, so if you are looking for a TEACHER who will teach you he is not the correct person. I my grades are always A and B and i got a D on his class. I DO NOT recommend his class.
This teacher can be mean and unhelpful when it comes to questions. He answers them making you feel stupid for asking that question. He's a teacher who knows his stuff. You'll get through the lectures feeling like you are finally starting to understand, but then when it comes time to take the tests,you'll leave feelin stupid and with a failing grade
Please, give this teacher a break. The ones that are complaining are just wasting their time in college. If you do not like Wasson, you will not like anyone. He is a great proffesor, if only students cared at all.
Hard teacher, he will make you feel stupid, but maybe cause you are....He wont waste time w/typicall SWC students who go to classexpecting it to be easy. If you show you studied and are trying hard, he is most helpful. If you are planning to transfer he is like REAL University professors should be.
There is a reason this guy is named Dick. He has a cocky attitude and refuses to teach. I am a student at a university and he is not anything like the "real" university professors i have come into contact with. He makes a huge deal about the disruption that late students make when in fact it is his complaining about it that is the real distraction
He will in fact make you feel incompetent if you ask a question to which answer is in the book, but I think he doesn't to this on purpose to embarrass you.. I think its just how he is... some people are just like that.. Just read the book, and do the suggested assignments and you should do alright..
I took this class in fast track for 101&102. If you are seroius about continuing to university, he is the one you need to take. He wont baby you (which is what many in CommColl want)and if you read and do the suggested assignmts, you will pass. He might not seem approachable but if you do ask him he will help, rmbr stupid ? stupid answer!

He's smart, and he knows accounting like the back of his hand. Yes, he might make a student feel dumb every now and then, but that's because he expects a certain level of competency. Read the book and read the syllabus. Overall, he explained things rather clearly and logically. I will probably take another class with him.
This guy is a joke he cannot tech if his life depends on it. He is very rude and does not like answering questions. He is just there to collect a pay check which he does not deserve.
This professor knows how to teach!!.If you are ready to leve high School and go to a university you should take him. Otherwise if you want an easy A, he is not for you. He will answer all your questions, he expects his students to read the book and to really be into the class. Excellent teacher. Look for his ratings for SDSU.
This professor is great!!!! For all those who writes that he's not - here is a little clarification, just in case you forgot - if you work hard, being respectfull and try to do your best - you'll get along with nearly anybody, including Mr. Wasson. For people calling him names - you should be ashamed.. its not him who looks bad, its you.
All these people who say he doesnt like to answer questions are just mad that they are incapable of learning. I didnt attend class for like 2 weeks straight, never got any comment from him and still made the highest grade in the class. If you dont prepare, you will go down. Tests were easy. Study online practice tests.
He gets easier as the class gets emptier.
He was an excellent instructor. He has high standars, which is great if you have them for yourself. I studied and worked hard, my grades showed it.
No teacher has ever made me understand a subject like he did, no homework but studying is necessary for the test
I thought he was very helpful. You need to do your homework assignments to get a better understanding even though he doesn't pick them up. The final is more like extra credit which helped me get an A. Definately do the project it's so easy. Test are easy if you know the material. I definately recommend him and will be taking hime for acct 102.
You must attend the class in order for you to understand the material. Attendance isn't mandatory and it's obvious that the people who miss class don't do as well as the ones who are there.. in a nutshell.. if you're there, you'll get it.
is not a good teacher. doesn't explain and is really rude.
worst teacher ive ever had!!! he's boring as hell!! and he expects you to know everything. He might as well let the book do his job! dont take him! you'll fall asleep.
you do the work for him everything is just your responsability
This guy is the worst teacher i have ever had since i have been attending school.. the book is the teacher and he just expects you to know all the material, he makes every question you have sound like a dumb one.
Gosh! his job is so easy! he doesn't do anything at all. The book is your bff in this class! he wont explain anything and he expects you to know and understand EVERYTHING on the book! oh and be careful if u ask something because he WILL make u seem like an idiot for asking that question!! nothing seems to be good for him!!! PLS TAKE SOMEBODY ELSE!!
He's a pretty good teacher.easygoing. Definetley knows what he's talking about. When i read the reviews i thought i was screwed, but hes not bad at all. Attendence is up to you. The homework is due at the end of the 3 chpt read. HW is harder than test...and thats not too bad. Explains everything well and if you ask an obvious question he'll tell yo
Seriously Mr. Wasson is a great teacher. I really think that he is getting a bad wrap on here. In his class you take charge of you own education. He gives you the tools and its up to you what you do with them. He is not going to hold your hand; but he is very helpful in office hours and is willing to help if you meet him halfway.
GREAT TEACHER! His class is very informative, he's beyond knowledgeable with the material, and he's incredibly helpful. If you read the material before class you'll be fine. This class requires a lot of studying (I honestly studied 4 hours every weekdays) and motivation otherwise you're screwed. Grow up, THIS IS COLLEGE PEOPLE :)
i wouldnt say this professor is bad, but he is not good either! he expects you to learn from the book by yourself, you do all the reading at home and in class you ask questions. so if you understand by just reading you can take his class, if you need lessons and good explanation take it with another teacher.
Seriously he is not a bad teacher. You just need to study and read! A got an A and im not a nerd, i really like accounting. I like his classes, just be early!!! The final exam is extra credit. Out of 4 exams and he drops one.
He is a very helpful professor. I honestly think he'll help you if you show you care for the class. Doesn't care about attedance, but missing classes will make exams twice as difficult. He uses software for all homework, the software comes with digital copy of book so you don't really need to buy a book. He will make you read a lot. Make sure to read the chapter before class.
I took Prof. Wasson for both Acc. 101 and 102 and he's great. He doesn't lecture, take attendance, or give a lot of hmwk. He will expect you to come prepared, on time, and to ask questions on anything not understood. 3 exams, drops your lowest one. The final is for extra pts. Overall, cool, just keep up and be prepared before class.
He actually teaches the course material rather than teach how to pass the class.
Great teacher, actually makes you act like a college student by doing your part so make sure you read atleast 5-10pgs into the chp. prior to class because he doesnt really go over ALL material unless you ask. VERY helpful though when asking ?'s. Tests only 25 questions long. easy A IF you read & do your cheat sheet.
knowledgeable/ helpful/ treats you like an adult/ unconventional teaching method/ expects you to read (a lot)/ easy homework but time consuming/ multiple choice test/ 1 page of notes allowed on test. Bottom line: I recommend him
Extremely easy course. He allows a page of notes on the exams. Don't just write down definitions, include practice problems. Four tests, drops lowest. 200 points possible in class: three 50 point exams and online homework 50 points. Final is optional and 15 points extra credit. First test is the easiest of them all. So be sure to get a 50 on it. A+
Best accounting professor ever! Not a lot of homework and allows 1 page of notes on exams. 4 exams total, drops lowest, and an extra credit final. Highly recommend this professor.
Wasson is a great knowledgeable professor. He expects you to come to class already read the chapter. Quizzes and hw are online and make sure to score high on those as they boost your grade. Four test and one lowest is dropped. In class he answers any questions students have and after that you solve problems from the textbook.
Very knowledgable professor. Prepares you for university. His teaching style sort of threw me off in the beginning, but honestly that's how it works at SDSU. Not a lot of homework and allows 1 page of notes on exams. 4 exams total, drops lowest, and an extra credit final. Highly recommend this professor!
The book is you teacher, worst test scores due to who unhelpful lectures.
