Awesome professor, knows what he is talking about and makes sure everyone understands what he is talking about before moving on.
professor bysiek is the man, hands down one of the best professors you can get at st Bonaventure, dude loves accounting and loves teaching it
Was an absolute Grea teacher and person in general. would take this course over and over again no matter how hard the material is.
This professor made the class very easy to learn. There is a lot of material taught in this particular class, but with this professor he made the material fun and easy to learn. He is a very good teacher and an even better guy. I would recommend to anyone that if you have to take this course definitely take it with Bysiek.
Great teacher that really cares for his students. He always tries to interact with his students to get them involved in the coursework which makes the course easier to understand.
Very nice professor, hard to keep up with if you don't know what you're doing. Study and do the homework and you should be fine.
was very clear when explaining how to do a problem. made the lecutues interesting and not boring. knew what he was talking about and made it easy to understand.
Bysiek is great at what he does, and its easy to see. He assigns weekly graded homework. His tests are exactly what he says it's going to have on it. I absolutely loved his class personally.
He is a great teacher that makes a hard course easier to understand and makes the material lifelike and interesting.
I thought Mr. Bysiek was a great professor to have because he made my will to want to continue to study accounting greater. He knows when its time to be serious but he also knows when there is time to have fun.
If you take the class, choose Bysiek
Prof Bysiek is laid back but when it comes to work is serious although is a great teacher and is willing to help anyone who is struggling. Not sure how anyone could struggle with such a great teacher though.
just overall great professor
Very good teacher, will learn the material throughly. Classes sometimes do get confusing but if you ask him for assistance after he'll be sure to give it to you. He's a fun teacher that does a bunch of things outside of the classroom and he makes learning fun. By far the best teacher for my freshman year.
Professor Bysiek is an excellent teacher and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure his students excel. I am glad I got the chance to take accounting 201 with him, as he makes sure everyone, regardless of major, takes something away from the class.
He is very passionate in his teaching, very organized and clear notes. His homework sessions are helpful and a good way to get a perfect score on the grade homework he collects
Professor Bysiek is always willing to help you if you need it. He's very personable and cares about you as a person rather than just a student. He makes accounting seem easy, the best professor to have as an incoming freshman. His class can be tricky especially tests, but if you show up to class, take notes, and do the homework you'll be fine!
Great teacher. Better guy.
Great teacher. Would take again. Grades a bit tough but fair. Really helps prepare you for your tests. Gets you interested in the subject.
St. Bonaventure U. had about 2,270 student (Undergrad 1,770 + Grad 500). Registrar Office allows about 30 - 35 students per 1 prof. and most of these reviews are around finals week, makes sense to give a Prof. Review, studying for other finals is just not urgent Fact: did you know Enron & Adelphia were cooking books about their performance?
He finds a way to make lots of information seem well covered
Acct 202 was much harder than 201, so expect to put more time and effort in (at least it was for me and everyone else I talked to). You'll do fine if you keep up on the readings and attend every class.
He is a really good professor and he definitely knows his stuff!
He is a very good teacher , knows how to control the class. He is very clear with his lectures and teaches you step by step to make sure that you understand what he's teaching. He gives you homework that will be useful during the exams and quizzes.
Professor Bysiek is really into his class which makes the learning process easier. There are multiple extra credit opportunities available and he is always there to help you understand the material
Professor Bysiek is a very good accounting professor who stimulates interest in the class and makes the material easy to understand. He does move quickly though which just means students have to pay attention.
good dude
Hard class regardless, Best possible accounting teacher at Saint Bonaventure.
One of the greatest teachers I have ever had. Always there to help if you need it. Provides you with everything you will need to know for exams and quizzes. The lectures are made out very clear and taught very well.
Best professor I've had at St. Bonaventure. Take his class if you can
He's a great guy and he tries to help you to the best of his abilities.
Great teacher
Bysiek is a great guy and genuinely cares for each of his students. He wants everyone to do as well as they possibly can, and he is willing to help you reach your full potential.
Notes given are very specific, very easy to comprehend. Tests are not bad and overall a great professor
Professor Bysiek is one of the best professors on campus.. However his class is hard. Class isn't hard because it is all lectures and taking notes. The tests will get you though if you don't prepare.
Byseik is a really good teacher. The course is very challenging and I did not use him as a resource enough, but he wants everyone to succeed and if I put in that effort to meet with him, I'm sure I would have done much better than I did. Great guy. Super nice to look at too.
This was a difficult course, but Professor Bysiek definitely knew what he was doing. One of the smartest people I know. He is always available to help.
Great teacher, was failing class and he worked with me 1 on 1, I finished with a B-. Really wants to see you succeed
Great professor with great explanations. Overall great guy.
gives good lectures and is very specific. explains everything very clearly so you understand it better. is there for help if you need any. gives good feedback.
Very clear, very helpful teacher.
He is a great professor, spoke clearly and was very interactive in class, and open to explaining materials again if we weren't sure. Would recommend.
Does really good in class lectures and he makes it easy for you to take notes and does lots of examples on the board to help you understand. There is 1 graded homework assignment due a week based off what you've learned graded on accuracy and then 1 final project at the end of the semester.
I loved Bysiek's course. I took him for both Acct 201 & 202 and will miss him and his teaching methods. He makes taking notes & following along with exercises extremely easy. I would absolutely take him again!
The best professor
Professor Bysiek was great and I highly recommend that everyone takes his class if they have the opportunity to.
Great teacher , great notes, very helpful and gives some extra credit
Do your work and pay attention, you should have no trouble passing the class.
Best Professor at St. Bonaventure University
Always helpful. Do your work, pay attention and you will pass the class
Lectures are very clear and well structured. Grades are returned quickly. Very understanding for athletes and is willing to help you at anytime.
Unbelievable professor. Was very understanding of my athletic schedule. Tests are difficult, but fair. Provides very clear and easy to understand notes. Actually creates the notes from scratch with you so you can follow along and know exactly what he wants. One of the best instructors I have ever taken in my 3 years of college.
Amazing accounting professor, gives clear instructions and is always willing to help, very understanding, as long as you are willing to put in the work you will do fine
Great professor! Makes learning accounting easy and fun. Very helpful and easy to talk to when you need help.
Professor Bysiek is an excellent accountant, and he shares his knowledge well in a classroom setting. He is also active on campus and easy to find if you ever need his help!
Bysiek is by Far the most appreciated professor on this campus made me a better student. He is fair and also makes sure to give a helping hand to those that need but also seek it. Great with his students and great with building overall moral in the classroom. Would definitely get him as a teacher in any class.
Great guy, great teacher, he wants you to learn and understand the material.
Great teacher, better guy.
He is a great teacher and even a better guy. I definitely recommend him for 201 and 202
He is very easy to talk to. Goes out of his way to make sure your doing well in the class.
Bysiek is easily the best Accounting professor. He lectures with clarity and everything taught in class is what appears on exams. You have to work hard to earn your grade, nothing is handed to you. I wish I could take all of my business courses with Bysiek however I am transferring after this semester. Great professor and overall great person.
Prof Bysiek is a great guy! He is active in our campus and local communities, and is always willing to schedule a time to sit down and help students individually. He is very clear while explaining material but if for some reason he is not, he will most definitely re-explain something to ensure the class understands. Bysiek vs Coate? Bysiek!!
The professor was the only reason I was as successful as I was in this course. He was nice, very good at breaking down complicated material and always willing to help.
Definitely the best professor I've had at Bona's so far. He makes sure everyone understands the material, and he keeps the students engaged in the class. Plus, he's very down to earth and offers a lot of extra credit for those who need it. Lowkey love accounting now because of him.
Good teacher
This semester, I originally wasn't registered for Professor Bysiek's class, but I was able to get in when a free spot opened up and I'm glad I did. He's a great person and a great teacher. The material was tough for me and I really had to work hard to get some of my grades. I'm glad I had him though and I'll miss him after I transfer this semester.
good teacher, great dad, better guy.
Very clear about what you need to know for each exam and will help you when ever you need help.
Great Professor, always willing to help his students. Passionate about his work.
The GOAT. Professor Bysiek is easily one of the best professors at SBU and one of the best teachers I have had in my life. I'm not an accounting major but he was able to spark my interested in the subject. I'm bummed that this will most likely be the last course I take with him but I look forward to seeing him on the bball courts.
Bysiek explains each topic clearly and goes through examples with us until the whole class understands what to do.
Tough test
He is the best accounting professor
Do the readings and homework, participate in class, and you'll get an easy A
Was a very knowledgeable teacher that will help you in any way that he can as long as you put forth effort.
Definitely one of the better professors at Bonas. Very helpful and outgoing in helping students.
Great professor, highly recommended
Very clear when giving notes. Makes sure everyone understands the material before moving onto the next topic. Class builds on itself so if you miss class it takes some work to get caught back up.
Very fair professor and delivers material quite well. Go to class, take notes, and do your assignments and there is no way you can fail. Everything you need to learn is given to you during class.
I have taken this professor 3 times. Math in general is not my strong suit, but he has made it so much easier on me. He is always available, always helpful, and formats his notes perfectly so you can understand it. 10/10
If you keep up with homework and notes you will do fine. You can always ask him for help if it is something you dont understand and he will help you.
Probably one of the best professors I have ever had. He is caring and wants to see his students succeed. If you put in the work to get a good grade, he will put in the work to make sure you succeed. He makes sure everyone understands the material, he does not rush through it. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Definitely a good choice. Pay attention and you'll get an A
Definitely worth taking. He is a great professor and is able to connect what he is teaching you to real world jobs, which is beneficial to many. He has great engagement with the students and is very knowledgeable in the accounting world.
Amazing teacher, would recommend to everyone for any class.
He's an amazing proffesor. Just be ready to read and do well on your work. Also attend any homework sessions, they work in your favor.
Bysiek offers tons of extra credit opportunities and has been the best professor i have had while at Bonaventure. i have had him for 3 classes, and i highly recommended him to anyone for any class. Fair grader, great professor, and will go out of his way to make sure you learn.
Bysiek has now expanded his teaching to Finance 301 and I couldn't have been happier. He truly is a fantastic professor and has a genuine ability to really connect with his student. The man is beyond personable and will have you name memorized by the end of the first day. If you have the chance to take him don't miss out.
Great Teacher!
Great professor. Makes you work for the grade you receive.
He's been my favorite teacher thus far.
Toughest class I've taken with him but he taught it very well. Tests were difficult!
Professor Bysiek is a very nice professor. You can learn something about the finance, also he will expand some knowledge in class, such as word of the day. You can earn some extra credit from his class. Moreover, he is very patient, if you have some questions, he will explain many times to make sure you can understand. I highly recommend this class
He is a great professor and really cares about teaching the course in depth. You have to put in work, but if you put in the work and the time you should do fine in the class. I would highly recommend taking a class with him.
Mr. Bysiek was always available when ever needed. He is the type of teacher that wants you to do good and pass but you have to show interest in the subject and show that you want to learn. He gave out homework but only certain ones were graded and he told you which ones. The tests were somewhat difficult but fair. Made class fun and but effective.
My favorite professor at St. Bonaventure. Very organized and well-planned lectures, gives plenty of extra-credit oppurtunities, and actually cares about his students. I highly recommend taking him if you can.
Honestly, Pro. Bysiek is one of my favorite professors. He is kind and friendly to everyone. His class in interesting and perfect. I love the way he teaches, especially taking note in his part. He makes the note clear and logical,which make you easier to understand. If I have a chance, I would like to take his class again.
Ed Bysiek is a excellent professor. You will likely pass if you truly pay attention, go to class, and put everything you got into your work. There is a lot to learn in this class and he makes the process seamless and interesting.
Prof. Bysiek is one of if not the best professor at this school. Had him for both finance and accounting. Would highly recommend any business major student take a class with him.
Professor was nice and efficient. Easy to learn the material.
He is definitely one of the top professors of the school. He has a big heart and drive to see his students succeed both academically and personally. If you tell him about an interview you landed, he'll follow up on it to see how you did. If you did well in a sporting event, he'll notice. Everyone should take one of his classes before graduating!!!
Good professor, who cares about his students and the material. Work for your grade
Good professor tough tests but its a good course if you work at it
A very smart professor who will help you when ever you do not understand something. He is very clear about every assignment and about what will be on each exam. There was one test that was significantly harder than the other but this was the first time he taught this class so I think that next class the test won't be as hard as this semesters.
Great dude all around
Not a fan of the way this course was taught. He taught it as he did his intro level accounting classes which I think made it more difficult, considering it isn't accounting. Simple concepts were taught, difficult problem solving was expected. Learned a lot, for sure Took a lot of energy,
If you are interested in Finance and want to learn as much possible I recommend taking Bysiek. Hes straight forward with all work and gives you all the tools necessary to prepare you for his exams
Professor Bysiek is an all around great professor regardless of the subject being taught.
Great notes, gained a good understanding of material. Enjoyed the class and got a lot out of it. Friendly and fair professor.
Professor Bysiek is an all around great professor!
He's a good dude, really gets to know all his students which is cool. Kind of goes fast with the notes but if you work hard he will notice and pass you
Professor Bysiek knows what he is doing. Take advantage of the notes that he gives you. If you do the homework and participate in class, you should get an A+ on the course.
Bysiek taught Corporate Finance for the first time this semester and was great. The speed in which he goes through material is perfect. He makes sure that everyone understands what is going on and also uses real world applications to help students further understand the material. I think if you take FIN-301, you should take it with him.
Bysiek is a passionate professor, but it is definitely a difficult
Prof. Bysiek demonstrated a strong grasp of the course information. I had a great time while taking this course! 10/10 would recommend. Always helpful, on time and if he isn't answering his email he's probably hitting threes in your face at the Richter Center. This man can teach AND ball.
Prof. Bysiek did an excellent job teaching course material. The notes were organized and easy to follow and understand. He was always available when needed extra help, and I would recommend taking any course that he teaches. His tests are always fair and reflect the class material.
Professor Bysiek was one of the best instructors I've had at Bonaventure. He uses several teaching methods to stimulate learning and his in-class technology use is very beneficial to the class. The exams are not hard and they reflect exactly what is taught for the course. There are not a lot of grades so the workload is very manageable.
Hard working, dedicated and easily one of the most professional teacher at Bonaventure amongst many of the academic schools. If you pay attention in class and do the homeworks, there is very little outside work you have to put in.
Professor Bysiek made it easy to understand the complex topic of Accounting. He is extremely flexible with office hours and makes sure he does everything he can to help you improve.
Bysiek is a great teacher. He gives awesome notes, tests are hard but as long as you study you'll be fine.
Fantastic teacher, even better guy.
Great professor that you will really lean from if you put in the time. Always willing to help and really wants you to get something out of the course. Very interested in the class himself so it's easier for you to be interested. Awesome at structuring the notes so it's easy to go back to.
Professor Bysiek is a good instructor. He uses real world examples for students to better understand the material. Notes are well organized. Tests are hard but fine if you study.
Bysiek is an overall great teacher. Really wants to make students learn and full understand the material. I would take him for any class as his notes are always spot on and he tells you exactly what is on the test. Great Guy!
Professor Bysiek is literally one of the best teachers ive ever had. He really cares for you to do well and will go out of his way to make sure you do. Material isnt easy but he makes it interesting and relevant. 10/10
THE CLASS WAS EASY AS LONG AS YOU STUDY
Absolutely amazing professor, would recommend to anyone. Really does care for the students and makes class interesting and challenging, but in a good way.
Professor Bysiek will always be my favorite professor at Bonaventure. The knowledge gained beyond the scope of the course is incomparable to any other courses I have taken.
Great professor, you wont regret having him or going to class. Keeps dry material interesting, but when he says that the course picks up pace, LISTEN!!!
Great teacher. Gives you everything you need to know for the tests, but you really have to study to get a good grade. Details are very important. Lots of math in this course as well
I've had Bysiek for Accounting and now Finance courses and he has been equally great in both. His clear and concise notes make studying very easy and he makes sure everyone really understands what his is talking about. Makes boring material interesting to learn about and applicable to your life. Wish he taught more courses!
If you need help he will help you.
Great guy, great professor. Makes sure everyone understands material.
Tests can be difficult, but the notes are very clear and easy to understand and study. Plenty of example problems done in class and even more assigned for outside of class.
Is an excellent professor to have for those taking their first finance class. He does a good job of breaking down new concepts and making them understandable. Also will provide plenty of examples and problems for students, so if you are willing to put in the work it easy to do well.
Professor Bysiek had great knowledge of the course material and always left opportunities for students to ask questions. The lectures were never rushed, and Professor Bysiek usually included examples from the textbook to walk through with the class in order for all the students to understand the material. Professor Bysiek was very engaging
The best that the business department has to offer. You learn a lot and he is a great professor to have.
I enjoyed this class. Professor made it interesting.
Absolutely great guy and professor
Very well spoken, he makes finance exciting and interesting, Finance Bracket Study Tourney was the bomb! He bumps into things and drops things a lot, but shakes it of and recovers really well. haha.
Great teacher, better guy
I highly enjoyed having Professor Bysiek for finance and I would strongly recommend any of the classes he teaches. Everything in the class was communicated well regarding everything from the notes to the lectures. The information is clearly given and it helps make it easier to learn in this class.
If you do the work and study the material he assigns you will do fine in the class. Simply go over problems to better your understanding. If you have questions he will be there to help.
Put in the time and you'll get a good grade. He's also nice to look at.
he is a great professor, take him any chance you get.
Really solid teacher. Knows the information and is clear with all lectures. Fair grader and gives the students a lot of opportunities to learn.
good class, good lectures,
All around great teacher. One of my favorite teachers I have ever had.
This class was challenging, but if you put the time in then you will get an A. Bysiek really puts the effort in to get you to understand and makes it fun. Be ready for his end of the year tournament, you can get a lot of extra credit.
Bysiek is able to teach the material in an interesting way. However if you don't go to class the likelihood of a student understanding the material is slim. There is daily homework but only some of them are graded
Great Professor. Wish he taught more classes so I could take him more often. Really knows what he's doing and has great notes and lectures. 11/10 would recommend to a friend.
Great professor, learned a lot about the world of Finance and how the market works. Strongly recommend this professor to anyone who needs to take this class.
GREAT TEACHER. AMAZING.
Good professor and forms a good relationship with all the students. Always looking to help students out as much as he can.
Professor Bysiek was very accommodating outside of the classroom when you need extra clarification on work that was taught during class. This class was exam heavy, making up most of the final grade.
Good professor and made lectures interesting. Class not overly difficult but does require effort. overall good course experience.
Great professor. Tells you everything you need to know for test. Always able to reach him. Responds to emails fast.
Great Professor. Is always available for help and responds to emails very quickly. Keeps class material interesting and understandable. Gives study guides before tests that tell you what material is going to be covered as well as has extra credit/review activities before exams.
Great Professor Loved having him for all three classes
Great teacher, very easy to understand and take notes. Class can get difficult but he is extremely helpful if you ask him to help you.
You have to participate to get attendance credit but a fairly easy course otherwise
A great professor who truly cares how you do in class. Is willing to help at any time.
Great professor, tests are hard if you do not put the required time and effort in to studying for them. Really wants students to do well in the class.
He makes jeopardy games for the class to review with and compete against each other. This has been the best and most competitive class I have taken by far. He makes the class competitive and you learn so much from it. He is very approachable and makes sure that all his students are prepared for his exams to the best of their abilities.
Professor Bysiek is an outstanding teacher and a great guy. His class is difficult but I looked forward to each class and learning more about accounting. You'll have no problem if you show up to class, and show you care. Im looking forward to taking more classes with Prof. Bysiek.
Made accounting fun
Professor Bysiek is a phenomenal Professor and person and had great command of course material and the class. Always made class interesting and fun to learn and made sure everyone knew what they were doin in the class. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend taking his class.
Amazing class
Always makes sure you understand the material and will go out of his way to help you. By far the most caring professor at bonas
Bysiek is a good teacher, he is really nice and funny. The material is alright it does take a lot of practice and memorization.
Very, very, good professor. For some, accounting is a snore... but this teacher makes it interesting and more importantly, understandable.
Absolutely love this class and would recommend it to anyone!
Professor Bysiek was very clear about the description of the course and what needed to be learned. He also helped students outside of class if needed, and made class knowledgeable and fun.
I took an accounting class in high school and it was miserable. This class was so enjoyable and I looked forward to going to class. Such a good, caring, and effective teacher.
Very good professor, I would recommend him to anyone taking ACCT 201. Lectures are very informative and notes are very clear cut. Homework once maybe twice a week, and it helps to do it. Gives extra credit and also does a few group projects. Class wasnt too hard but studying definitely help. Exams are straight from the notes nothing unexpected.
I struggled throughout the semester with accounting but professor Bysiek helped me understand the concept much better. Always their if you needed help on specific questions about the materials.
Bysiek was very clear and gave grate notes. another thing that I like about him is that he is always willing to meet outside of class to help in any way possible.
Professor Bysiek was by far my favorite professor this year and arguably my favorite teacher that I have had in my school career. I took accounting in high school and I absolutely dreaded it. After taking Bysieks class, I am now heavily considering switching my major to accounting. I would recommend taking any of his classes.
You must pay attention and participate in his classes to do well
If you go to class, pay attention, and participate it will shave hours off the time you have to study. Bysiek keeps class fun and relevant to the real world. Don't skip the final tournament!
Great teacher I would recommend taking this class with professor bysiek to everyone.
Awesome professor. Class is hard, but manageable if you put in a good amount of time and effort. Very easy to reach outside of class and really cares about the success and well-being of his students. Makes class fun and interesting the majority of the time. Would highly recommend this professor to other students.
Great teacher.
Professor Bysiek assigns homework after every class, but only some of it is graded. Doing the homework will definitely help with your success in the course. His notes are very organized and always in the same format, making it easy to follow and learn. He was a great professor that I would consider taking another course with him in the future.
wonderful teacher, cares about his students, very good instructor, very respected teacher
All around great professor
Amazing professor. You can tell he loves what he does. Explains the course material really well and truly wants you to do well in this course. I wish he taught past Accounting 201! Best professor I have had so far.
Great professor for a great introductory course that provides the basic fundamentals for financial accounting.
For future students, dont procrastinate when you have exams or you wont do as well as you would like to. Also do no skip class or else you will be lost.
Didn't like or enjoy this class or this professor.
Great professor, very insightful and very helpful
By far the best professor at St. Bonaventure. He makes sure you understand what is going on in the class
Great guy and I wish I could take his class again.
Professor Bysiek is the best professor I have had here at Saint Bonaventure. He truly cares about the student's success and will not move on to a new topic unless every student has a clear understanding. His exams are be pretty long, but with a good amount of preparation you should do well in his course
The lectures are extremely clear and he is very enthusiastic. He will give you a thorough study guide for the exams and if you follow those exactly you will do well. A lot of extra credit opportunities but he makes you really work for your grade. You cannot just memorize and call it good.
Very good professor. The course at times can be difficult, but the tests are fair. If you put the work in, you will do fine.
Bysiek was by far my favorite professor out of all 4 semesters that I have been at Bona. He's very helpful and understandable in class and makes sure everyone understands the material before moving to the next topic. The class was never boring. Gives study guides for each test and they are exactly like the study guide. Just a great guy overall.
Wonderful Professor would 100% take him again, really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed.
Take Bysiek for every class you can!
Ed Bysiek is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very organized and clear speaking and easy to follow.
Professor Bysiek was a fantastic teacher, he kept you involved and interested inside the classroom and all assignments and tests were straight forward.
Excellent teacher if your interested in business! Very effective teaching methods, also taught me to never buy a timeshare.
Ed Bysiek amazing professor, you'll learn a lot . very interesting, inspirational story, and role model to many.
Prof. Bysiek gives you the notes for each class. Make sure you pay attention, and read each chapter assigned on the book. He's a great professor.
was a terrific teacher, if you put the work in, you will get rewarded for it. His lectures are quite interesting, and he takes the time to care about each student
Professor Bysiek has been my favorite professor in the Business school so far! Extremely dedicated to his students and wants to see them do the best they can!
Great professor. Gives good notes. Everything on the exams come from the notes provided in class.
Great professor. Best I have ever had
Awesome professor. Definitely one of my favourites ever.
Ed is a great teacher and is very approachable, loves to help his students out.
I have learned the most out of any class in Professor Bysiek's class. He cares about you as a person and student, and would 10/10 recommend him to any student.
One of the best professors at St. Bonaventure. He makes his class fun and interesting and applies it to real life as much as possible. Also, he cares for his students and will be there to help whenever you need it. I'll miss his class!
Always available outside of the class. Highly recommended
It was incredible to learn from him. He is a great man inside and out of the classroom and is always willing to talk to you about real-life events. With his experience in his own firm, he is able to tie in actual examples and demonstrate how our knowledge is used in the workplace. I would take every class with him if I could.
I am not a business major, so this was a very challenging class for me. However, Professor Bysiek kept this in mind during his lectures and made sure to define every term that he introduced even though many of them were obvious to everyone else. I really appreciated this, and his willingness to reexplain entire concepts from square 1 for me.
He makes sure you understand what is going on and he gives you opportunities to maintain a good grade such as extra credit and he is fun.
Easily one of the best professors I have ever had. Cares so much about the students, will help anyone with anything if they need him! Makes the class super easy to understand
Very good professor, always made class entertaining there was never a dull moment. Gives great notes so if your one that struggles taking notes I highly recommend professor Bysiek.
Professor Bysiek is always available to meet with students whenever it is needed. He will explain everything from square one if you need it. He by far gives the best notes overall and it very organized. He always gives a study guide before the exams and a massive study guide for the tournament and final exam.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Is extremely clear with his lectures. Makes the course engaging and lots of opportunities for help. Gives great review practice for exams including the final. All around a great professor to take!

Professor Bysiek! My favorite professor of all time! He is always available for help and makes himself available to make sure you do amazing!
Professor Bysiek is an amazing man with a great heart. Lectures for the whole class but it is interactive and interesting. He cracks jokes and keeps you attentive at all times.
A really professional professor that wants you to as well as possible.
Great professor! Great guy!
Not only is Ed Bysiek a great professor, but he's an even greater guy. He knows what he's teaching in and out, and cares a lot. It's not an easy A, but paying attention and participating in class is not hard, so if you put in the time it shows.
Mr. Bysiek is just a great guy with a ton of knowledge. His lectures are interesting and insightful. He expects a lot but gives a lot in return.
One of the best professors I have had. Gives you all the material you need to do well as long as you put time in. Would highly reccomend taking him had him for both 201 and 202
Mr. Bysiek is one of the best Professors I've ever had. I had him for both accounting 201 and 202 and as long as you participate in class and do the work, he puts you in a great position to succeed. He truly wants to see you succeed and will do all he can in order to put yourself in the best possible position to do so.
Professor Bysiek is a great professor. I never wondered what he expected of us because he always made it 100% clear. He takes Accounting very seriously, but in a way that isn't daunting or boring. He made every class interesting. He's more than happy to re-explain anything if you ask. "It's a beautiful thing" as he would say.
Honestly, the best professor Ive ever had. If I have the chance to take another course with him, I would definitely do it without thinking twice.
I havent had many teachers in my school career that loved teaching students as much as he does. He genuinely cares about the material, and this is very evident during class. Whenever I have a teacher who is passionate, I want to come to class and I want to find the same passion for the material that they do. His enthusiasm will rub off on you.
I had Professor Bysiek for Accounting 202. This class was hard and a lot of work, but I definitely enjoyed it. If you want a teacher who is passionate about this field and will really make you work take professor Bysiek!
wish I could continue taking professor for more classes in the future.
Makes the material easy to understand and provides you with many opportunities to retain the information. He is caring and understanding when you cannot make a class.
Very fun class. You learn a lot. Can be difficult if you don't pay attention.
Great teacher, would highly recommend taking his class
amazing teacher, he makes this super boring class way better and it shows how much he really cared about the class and his students. he was always willing to help me outside of class.
One of the best professors I've had. I'd take his class all over again if i could. You rock Prof Bysiek!!!
Hes very accessible outside of class and has office hours for you to . Theres some graded assignments but you can go to him or the si session if you need to . He is my favorite professor at Bonaventure
Professor Bysiek is a very good professor and I would take him again if I could. I learned so much from his class and would recommend him to everyone.
He teaches really good
Live that guy!
Without a doubt the best professor I have ever had. I would highly recommend you take any of his courses. Do not expect To be able to Get an easy grade, he will make you work for it, but it is definitely worth it. Gives a great lecture and is very knowledgeable.
I really enjoyed the class and would definitely recommend taking any class that he teaches.

Was the best and most caring teacher that actually strived for our success as a class.
Mr. Bysiek is a great professor probably the best at St bonaventure in my opinion. You have to be in class to learn the material and always do the homework and go to the review sessions if you need the help. Overall great professor

Really enjoyed having Bysiek as my teacher. I feel as if I've learned a lot and am ready for ACCT 202. You will get a good grade on the quizzes and tests as long as you do the homework, pay attention in class, and follow the study guides. You also have chances to earn extra credit, especially during the tournament on the last day of class.
Tough grader, lots of notes, teaches very fast
Is always nice and friendly. His notes are very clear and understandable
Really refreshing to have a professor that cares about his students and wants them to do well. He give tons of practice problems in class and will always help you with any questions you have. His exams were comparable to the exams I take in my science courses in term of difficulty, but the challenge makes it more enjoyable. Thanks Prof Bysiek :)
Bysiek was a great professor to have for accounting. I personally do not like accounting but he made it interesting and worth paying attention to. He knows what he's talking about and definitely takes the time to make sure you do as well. By learning each student's name by the second class just shows how much he cares. Would highly recommend him!
great teacher overall
Professor Bysiek is one of the best professors that I've had at Bonas. I don't have a business background (I'm a non-major) and he made accounting class a great experience. Lecture was supplemented with a lot of practice problems in class, so we were able to understand the material right away and do problems that would prepare us for the exams.
Very great professor, difficult class if you do not study.
Mr. Bysiek is a great professor, lectures and exams are well structured. The course follows a fast pace so definitely be on top of reading and homework assignments (not only the graded ones). If you do this you will feel very comfortable with the material. Competition is great, the final tournament is a unique experience even though I got destroyed
Mr. Bysiek is by far the best professor I have had, he knows how to teach for the purpose of having students understand the material & is always willing to help outside of class. Tests are difficult but an easy A if you spend a good amount of time studying
Financial accounting is tough but Bysiek really focuses on the success of every student. If you put in the effort to do the homework and reading he assigns you will get a good grade. He plays no tricks and gives you examples for each solution, key points to focus on for exams, and extra credit earned through knowledge of the course. perf professor.
He's a great professor that gives so much helpful information to understand each chapter throughout the course. He pushes and helps student succeed. A great professor to have.
Professor Bysiek was very well versed in his knowledge of accounting, and that made for a very beneficial learning experience. As someone who is not used to the field of accounting or business, Professor Bysiek made the transition into learning such different material manageable and fun. His lectures are straightforward and effective.
Professor Bysiek is a great teacher who made this class very enjoyable.
Professor Bysiek is a great teacher with tremendous knowledge of Accounting. The course is test heavy and a student should spend ample time studying for each one. The course is fast paced and lecture heavy. Overall a great course with a great professor teaching it.
I really enjoyed accounting 201 with Professor Bysiek. His lectures and notes he gave were clear and understandable. We did an ample amount of practice problems in class to prepare for each quiz and test. As long as you study the notes, do the assigned readings and problems and study for the exams, you should be good. Overall a GREAT professor.
this professor gives a lot of homework but it is all very useful for the class and I found it helped me learn the material so much better. This class is also very lecture heavy so be prepared to take a lot of notes. Overall this professor really knew what he was talking about and i would definitely take a course taught by him again.
great teacher, understanding and passionate about his class. he should slow down as does go a little fast
Dr. Bysiek was great! He taught a lot in class, and made sure everyone understood the material through lots of practice problems. He set high standards for his students, but also truly cared that we were doing well in his class. He gave lots of opportunities for us to do well.
The class is lecture-based, but his notes are forward, thorough, and easy to follow; they are immensely helpful for the test. He gives a lot of practice problems, but they are extremely helpful in preparing for tests. The best thing about Bysiek's class is that he gives you very comprehensive study guides for every exam and check figures for them.
I would highly recommend this professor to every business student. Definitely the best professor I have had so far.
I loved having Professor Bysiek in Accounting 2-01. He made the class fun and enjoyable, while also teaching at a high level. I have never respected an instructor as much as I do Professor Bysiek. I recommend this class/instructor to any future students.
Professor Bysiek will go down as one of the best professors Ive ever had! Hes extremely helpful and caring of his students, and he is a great person, too! The notes are extremely clear and straightforward, and there are a lot of practice problems done in class to better understand the material. Take him if you can!
I loved being in Dr. Bysiek's accounting class.
Amazing teacher
He is one of the greatest professors of all time.

Professor Bysiek is an excellent professor and genuinely wants his students to learn. Hes very passionate about accounting and his teaching styles really help you understand easily and process the information well. As long as you put in effort, go to class and seek help when needed, you will do well.
Good Guy, good class
Ed Bysiek is one of the best professors in the school, while his style of teaching is lecture-based, he is still super informative and as a class, you do a bunch of examples and you really feel you learn something for this class.
Very good teacher. Work hard in this class.
I don't like accounting at all but Professor Ed Bysiek made it a lot of fun and is a great teacher!
Willing to help out student that are in need of help. very inspirational and motivates you to become a better student
Willing to help you out with your work and make sure you understand the concept of accounting. He docent want to see anyone fail, he wants to see everyone pass.
Wonderful professor, engages everyone every class. Gives a good amount of work and you must stay up on the work to receive a good grade.
Professor. Bysiek is a great teacher. He's able to explain complicated concepts with ease and balances taking notes with practice problems took keep the class engaged. This makes learning accounting more easy and fun.
Prof Bysiek is a top-notch teacher who cares about his students more than anyone I've had before. His class isn't that difficult if you try on the homework and pay attention in class. Two quizzes throughout the semester, and three exams. He gives out study guides that are helpful for the exams. If you're going to take accounting take Bysiek.
Amazing professor very willing to help and make the course as easy as possible, definitely worth the slightly heavy work load. Really calm and cool professor made my transition into freshman classes easier
Take Bysiek any chancy you get. Lectures are so good that you barely have to study.
He is my favorite professor so far, and I don't think anybody will top him. He is a class act. Nice, respectful, helpful, and smart, he is able to help make anything understandable even if you are confused.
Fast pace
Very well spoken and respectable person. He taught me in a way that made accounting actually easy and explains things in a way no other professor can. Highly recommend getting a class with him by any means necessary.
fantastic. explains things thoroughly so you know how to do it. teaches a bit slower but that is good because there is almost no chance of falling behind. friendly and knows what he's doing. 100% take again.
Prof. Bysiek is very nice. However, governmental accounting is tricky, and his class is no exception. You have to put effort into doing well, as his quizzes and exams are hard. Lots of homework helps your grade. I felt he made the class a little hard for the level it is taken at, but overall, he was a decent class and a nice professor.
This accounting class with Professor Bysiek is fantastic. The lectures are engaging, and he breaks down complex topics with ease. Attendance is mandatory, but it's worth it - I found unstuckstudy ai and the textbook to be great supplementary study resources alongside Bysiek's teaching. Overall, a challenging but rewarding course.
He is clear-spoken and will review things if you need him to. The class was pretty easy but he made it even easier by providing a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Great professor, class was easy going and actually learned something by the end of it.
