No Comments
Was willing to help as much as possiable
Best teacher I've had at MU!
great prof can learn a lot if you are willing to put time into it....very hard class
Spends more time trying to be funny than actually teaching
Easy if you do the work, if not, good luck.
Informative class. Don't waste your time if you don't want to learn/work!
great at what he does. dont slack in the beginning or it'll be really tough. as long as you keep up and do your work, he'll notice that you try hard and you'll do alright.
Run away,do not take him if it is at all possible!!!
Great guy. Best Prof I've had here at Ville by far. He is always willing to help his students out. The work load is very heavy, and he expects a lot from his students. If you put in the effort to succeed, you will do just fine!
He is a great professor. However, he is very tough. He gives a lot of homework and his tests can be hard. Don't slack off in the beginning or it will be too hard to catch up. Very very helpful! He turned out to be my favorite professor at MU.
Gives you a lot of work. If you slack off you'll never catch up. He is a good prof, but if you don't want to do his mountains of work don't take him.
He is impossible for non finance majors. Seems to be a good guy until u see his grading. Not willing to compromise or help students out. His class is very hard and there are much easier teachers offering the class. Avoid him whenever possible!!!
Anyone who does not do well in this guy's class...good luck in the business world. I'm there, and he has me well prepared. Good teacher. Just do the work and pay attention...that's it.
awsome guy! great advisor too! lots & lots of work but will help u out a lot as well! one of the best profs i have had but do not fall behind bcoz its v hard to catch up work hard & show interest u'll do alright! but if u r a nonbusiness major avoid him!
Extremely hard, but will learn from him. Do NOT take him, very hard. Most students do not pass his class!
He is by far the most helpful teacher i've ever had! he is always willing to lend a hand. Extremely nice guy. A LOT of work but you can survive.
NOT AS FRIENDLY AS YOU THINK!!! HARD VERY HARD EVEN IF YOU DO THE WORK STILL EXTREMLY HARD
Anyone who says he is not helpful is not trying! If Dr. Blazer knows you are trying, he will bend over backwards. But, if you are slacking off he will cut you no slack. If you are not willing to work for a good grade, don't expect it.
This guy is awesome. He calls you to congradulate you for getting A's on his tests how crazy is that. He is not as hard as most people are saying. I did a moderate amount of work and I got an A.
awesome guy! def. wants you to learn, very hard course, even if you do all the work, go to him for help
Great person! So helpful, the class is a LOT OF WORK. But worth it in the end, if you can survive it.
No Comments
very hard material, but you will learn sooooo much, if you want to get your monies worth i recommend him. always willing to help, sincerely wants you to succeed in his class! very nice smart funny guy, great prof!
Not recommended at any cost. Hides behind his tenure and likes to brag about it. A true idiot. Do not take him at any cost. Needs to be replaced with the teaching system. Tenure was created for jerks like this who can't make it in the business world
Honestly cares goes out of his way to help. Good sense of humour. Excellent teacher learned and retained the information. Considered switching my conc from mktg to accounting or finance b/c of him. Apply yourself and you'll suceed even if you are mktg.
Really do not like this man at all. I worked my booty off for him and failed. Actually, 1/3 of my class failed 162 with him. He thinks each of his students should dedicate their lives to his class.
Knew going in this class was hard and it was a lot of work but I learned a lot. If I had the opportunity would choose him again. Really offers a lot of help. but remember...can't help those who can't help themselves...so make the effort and he will too.
AMAZING professor! He's a lot of work but you learn so much. He will go out of his way to help you do well. He is easy to get in contact with. He is interesting in class and time goes by fast. However, you need to do the assigned work otherwise you get behind and it is very hard to get caught up.
Makes it easy to understand
If you show interest in the subject he will do whatever he can to help you. Loves what he does and should get many more hot ratings on this site than he does.
Very straight to the point,hard, and time consuming. He has an attitude!
This class is hard. Know your accounting! He gives you a lot of work but it is helpful. He has good intentions. He's nice. He's open to questions so ask a lot.
Guy is horrible and does not understand the concept of some students having to work to pay for school.hours of homework every night.rediculously hard tests that are impossible to pass.15 outta 42 students are failing his class.horrible teacher and ever worse human being.first day=30peeps,now=11peeps
only take easy classes with this class! you will work your butt off to get a C. you will learn a lot and it will be a good experience. do the extra credit. start the paper early. you will be thrilled to get out, but happy to have had the experience. nice guy.
I try to take him for EVERY business class. You learn your stuff! All of these people that are bad mouthing him and saying he's****.. they just didnt do any work! Its college! you have to work to LEARN and understand! he will work with you and help you. but if you dont try, its your own fault! If you just want an easy A, Id suggest Lobdell instead
The best. He's really hard butvery fair. He'll do anything to help you if you simply try and make a good effort. If you don't want to learn and waste your money, take the class somewhere else.
Great Professor. Works with the students in an attempt to have everyone do well. If you want to know the material, take Blazer. If you just want to pass the class....take someone else. I spent more time on his homework than any other class. But, now I know the material.
This class was the most difficult class I had taken at MU. He expects a lot from his students and does not consider students who work, have families, or who have a full course load. His tests are HARD and can be several pages long. If you want to learn a lot and have the time take him, if not opt for another professor.
Dr. Blazer can be very intimidating at first, however, if you show interest and concern, he will be the most helpful prof you'll ever have. He lets you know exactly what he expects of you which is a huge plus. The work load is heavy, but worth it. If you try to keep up and aren't afraid to ask for help, the class is definitely not impossible.
I took Freshman Seminar. The amount of mindless, worthless work I did in the course was amazing for only one credit. Hard grader too, doesn't give out As very willingly.
the best prof ...knows the subject...makes u work hard..but its worth it..youll leave the class knowin a lot.Very helpful. Will try his best for you if you study and are willing to work..
Awesome teacher... but for some reason i now hate blue... wonder why :)
Dr. Blazer is intimidating at first. Right away he lets you know what he expects of you for the class. But after you get past that he is the most helpful professor. He treats you like a friend not like a student that is below him. He will do anything to help you understand. If you are struggling but try hard he will take that into account.
WORST DEPARTMENT CHAIR EVER! have gone to see him 5 times in the past week and he's always to busy to sign a paper for me! if you can't take 5 seconds out of your day to sign a paper, then you shouldn't be the head of the business department! i'm pretty understanding, but he's not even apologetic about the situation, in fact, he's extremely rude!
By far my favorite professor at MU. He will teach you more than any other prof at MU and genuinely wants you to succeed. About half the poeple will drop his class, because they do not try. If you go to class, pay attention, and take good notes you will have no problem getting an A or B, and his door is always open during office hours to help!
Great teacher.. very helpful and funny! makes class enjoyable!
GREATEST DEPARTMENT CHAIR EVER. I have probably had 50 contacts with hime in 3 months. HE HELPED ME GRADUATE A SEMESTER EARLY. E-mail is the best way to get ahold of him. He will do anything for you. He is busy and teaches in the graduate and undergratuate program. He works very hard and is very dedicated and serious about his job.GREAT PERSON
Lots of work - go to office hours - but he prepares you for the real world. As a professional now, I can tell you that all those Excel exercises in Managerial Finance are worth it - you'll look like a hero when your boss comes to you for help.
One of the best prof's at Millersville! Manages to make accounting interesting. Class is difficult but it prepares you for the real world and you actually learn something. You scratch his back and he will scratch yours! ha! Would take again anytime!
Eric Blazer is a rare sort of professor - He's realistic, honest, difficult - but not a jerk about any of it. He'll help you with anything, work with you when needed, but still expects a lot of effort. One of few professors I've come across that expects much, but has no interest in ruining your semester. Two thumbs up, this guy gets it.
Dr.Blazer has a great personalitiy. He teaches the class really FAST-brace yourself. He was always too busy to help me outside of class and his tests are like reading another language. I went to every class and did every assignment and he still gave me a D. I have to retake the class...
Good teacher, sometimes not well prepared, confusing grading system
DO NOT TAKE HIM UNLESS U WANT A SEMESTER FROM HELL.. i attended every class, did hw but be still failed me. tHE KIND OF TEACHER THAT ACTS NICE IN UR FACE BUT WHEN U TURN UR BACK TALKS BAD BOUT U TO THE OTHER STUDENTS.. Heartless.
I had to take him for Cost acct bc I didnt have a choice. OF course his favorites love him and think he's a great prof, yea rite.think twice before you take him. Hws dont help at all, everything on the exam is stuff completely diff than hw.Has to ask help from students during class alot. What a waste of time and money.
Great professor. Expects a lot from students. Don't take him if you don't want to work, but the amount of knowledge you take from his class is huge.
Great Professor. Homework and tests are very demanding and require significant effort. I learned more in this class than all other finance classes combined. Makes excellent use of Excel and helps Financial Modeling skills.
Very hard. The course material requires a lot of time from you .If you are a working adult make sure you have at least 15 hours a week reserved just for this class.The questions on the tests are like a riddle. This course made me hate accounting so i changed my major.
Great Guy who loves his job, and loves to analyze financial statement. This is a true college class which requires for a student to actually pay attention. Be prepared to Read, Write, Do homework and study. For the love of God, Welcome to college you nay-sayers Can't wait till you get to the real world. Thanks Blazer for trying to bridge the gap.
25% Grade- Homework problems you can rework unti you get right and easy prequizzes with bonus opportunities. Tests are exactly the same as the practice tests with 10% curve. 3 tough papers. Obsessed with his job- very helpful. The class does take some time, but it is easy to get an A (he also drops your worst grade in 9 different assignments).
Worth every penny I spent on the class.
Great teacher! Willing to help and want you to succeed. Tests are the same practice tests. This is the real college class. You will learn more than you expect. Thank you for all your work, Dr. Blazer. If you are a hard worker, strongly recommend to take class with him.
Great personality! Want to equip you the knowledges you need for your next or related courses while you are in your world. Tests are exactly practice tests. Do all assignments and visit him as needed, you will doing fine. Recommended! Fun class and get what you worked for.
Dr. Blazer is very helpful anytime he is in his office. A very understanding professor. Extremely heavy workload. Be prepared to work on problems for hours but in the end you will learn something. He is truly interested in your success and will help in any way possible.
Great guy and very helpful but the course was the most difficult course I have ever had. Homework takes an hour per assignment. When he says you will need to spend 4-6 hours outside of class, he isn't kidding. The report is a killer but once you finish this course, you can accomplish anything. Do not take it unless you have to! -S-
Very demanding, but a great lecturer and an entertaining class. This guy can explain time value of money so you understand it forever. Come prepared and don't fall behind. I'm an accounting major & I take this prof every chance I get.
Great guy...he does want you to succeed but needs to see effort. So put the effort in with Dr. Blazer! You will learn a lot from him. He may screw up from time to time, but can't argue with a CPA and finance PhD.
One of the hardest graders I have ever encountered. About half of my class got a D or below as their final grade. Expects a lot out of you and not a lot of points if you mess up on an assignment or two, you will be in bad shape in the class. Seems to be a nice guy but will talk about you behind your back.
Not much to stay, hard class and hard grader, lots of work. Didn't know my name and I went to class. Attendance wasn't mandatory.
lots of work. hard class
This is teacher is such a hard grader. More than half of class failed. didn't teach anything useful. The book is your everything if you are a business.
Dr Blazer wants you to do well, but you need to do the work. Don't go to him with excuses about why you couldn't get things done. If you are putting in the effort he will go out of his way to make certain you understand.
LOTS OF WORK WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE NO COMPLAINTS BOUT THAT BUT THE CONNECT WORK ONLINE OMG. THE HMWK IS FINE BUT THOSE QUIZES ARE TOUGH AND EXAMS. IT DOESNTS GIV YOU ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH THE QUIZ,TEST OR EXAM. THE FACOTRY TOURS ARE INTERESTING. GOING TO HIS CLASS TO IS IRRELEVENT. NO USE. GOTA READ THE BOOK AND DO YOUR OWN THING
Great professor.Lots of works and you will learn a lot.You need to read the textbook before coming to the class. His office hours will help you to master homework as well as the coming tests. His class is not an easy "A" class. However, you work hard, you will get your expected grade. Recommend to take his classes.
great prof.! really helps. he has a thing called "mastery points" which is work that is not mandatory, but i suggest doing them bc they really help, and they are worth more than other pts. class is entertaining. participate a lot. there is connect hw, which lets you check answers before submitting. excel assignments have vids to follow
not really student friendly. doesn't have much interest in helping the student. class is interesting but i recommend another professor
Dr. Blazer is one of the most helpful professors I have had at MU. This class was an online class. It was very challenging, but very well structured. He was very quick at grading, answering questions, and clarifying the class expectations. If you are interested in really learning finance and getting ready for the CPA exam: TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Really have to pay attention, I would not take this prof again
Very difficult, and tricky, not your run of the mill class. Avoid
confusing, difficult, and stressful course. Idk why ppl say he's helpful at all. I told him I was having trouble w the quizzes/exams and he goes "yeah they're rough". Going to class is completely useless, the work doesn't even pertain to what you're graded on. I would say avoid but unfortunately he is the only prof who teaches buad 162. awful!
The course itself is pretty hard & confusing but professor blazer made it easy to follow. He explains the material thoroughly. He is VERY helpful if you actually try. He gets back to all your emails real quick and is willing to help out inside & outside of class. HW & quiz every week. Alot of opportunity for points to pass. Recommended!!
Dr. Blazer is a stand up guy. The class was very challenging, but his point system will leave you with an A if you apply yourself and take advantage of it. He provides guided examples and if you ever have a problem you can email him and present your case. The book was pretty helpful.
Prof made it hard to follow the class with just power points and online quizzes. The material is just handed to you.
This guy is the worse. He doesn't teach at all and when you follow the instructions on how he wants the exams it isn't good enough. I would avoid him and save your money, take Guo or even Leinberger at least you will learn something and not be worrying if you are doing it right.
Dr Blazer is a tough prof. but he is very fair and helpful. The work is challenging but he is will answer questions and help in any way. As long as you keep up with the work and ask questions without falling behind, the tests are not too difficult. Definitely take finance with Dr. Blazer. Very understanding, fair grader, and willing to help
Funny guy, sarcastic and will joke around with students. Knows his stuff and actually cares about you understanding; has a lot of versatile assignments in different mediums, online homework can be redone until the deadline, good grading system - keep up in class and enjoy! I looked forward to his class.
This professor is the man, and I have never met him in person. I took his managerial accounting winter class. He cares that you learn and understand the material. I took mana. acct. in the fall 2013 at another uni and the professor was horrible and therefore I needed to retake the course at millersville. I got a D first and now I have a B.
This was my first Winter Online class. Dr. Blazer did a great job teaching this class. The assignments are through Connect, Excel, and Articles. He has helpful videos for problems. If you are looking for an easy, yet beneficial class I highly recommend this. As long as you put the effort in you won't get below a C-. He is always there to help you.
Dr. Blazer is a great man. He assigns a lot of work and it is often difficult, but he will never deny you help. He has guided examples and responds to emails very promptly. The book was helpful at times, so if you can get it cheap I recommend it. He is funny and wise; a great professor that I am grateful to have had and now call a friend.
Dr Blazer's class is a challenging and rewarding experience. Don't take this class if you aren't willing to put you're all. He weeds out the weak. Any negative review is from people who couldn't take the heat. Take advantage of all the material he provides and you'll do fine.
Well considering how bad the accounting department is I wasn't expecting much. His tests are nearly impossible I think you have a better shot at just guessing on the multiple choice. and the open ended questions are straight up impossible and if you mess one thing up you lose 20 points. Didn't like him at all. Accounting at the ville is awful
Blazer's online finance class is great. He helps you whenever you have a question right away, and if you do all the work, you'll be fine. There's no excuse for not passing at least. Just do the work and put forth effort.
Hard to understand, lot of information, avoid there are other teachers to take
Uses a mastery points grading system so you can do well in the course without passing the exams. He is very helpful and will make you a video to show how you how to do a homework if you email him. Overall, Blazer is good professor. Accounting is hard but Blazer structures the course in a way that you will do well.
Wonderful man and great professor. Prepare to spend hours studying, but the reward is you really learn from this guy. He is a true accounting and finance wizard.
Amazing teacher. He is really committed to helping you learn. His classes are not easy but you will walk away from them with an abundance of knowledge.
Dr. Blazer is one of the most helpful professors on campus and I have the upmost respect for him. His classes are tough but you will learn. Well worth it.
Blazer is a good professor and uses a mastery points system that allows you to do poorly on the tests and still do well; however, he favors accounting majors and even rounded up their grades at the end of the course but does not do the same for management and marketing majors.
Overall the class is challenging. He is willing to help you when needed and wants you to do well. Attendance is not mandatory but it definitely helps if you attend class. His tests are difficult if you are not in class or review before hand.
not really into helping you succeed.
Great guy, tough class. He sounds mean at first but he's cool. Don't procrastinate. Do all the homework and quizes and you might not have to take the final. Course was hard but he explained everything really well. Do all the homework and quiz and you'll be fine. Don't buy hard textbook, you'll never use it if you do the "pre class" videos.
Blazer gives plenty of options to pass the class, so you can bomb tests (averages are 40%) and still walk away with a c or b. Always ready to help, just shoot him an email and hell make a personal video for you. He really wants everyone to succeed.
Dr. Blazer is very tough but he wants you to do well. He is very passionate about his teaching and is there to help, you just have to do the work.
Dr. Blazer cares a lot about whether or not you succeed. If you need help, email him, he usually responds very quickly. If you can, take it online. The class is based off of mastery points, and if you do poorly on an exam, you can still pass his class. Do all of the work to get yourself as many points as you can.
Dr. Blazer is an amazing professor. He wants you to do well in his class. Always willing to help. If you don't understand a problem you can email and he will reply back with a personal video just for you as a guide to solve the problem. Would definitely take again!!
Dr. Blazer comes off rather staunch but as the semester goes on he really does a lot for the students. He uses a system based off of 1000 possible points so every point matters. I did all homework, quizzes, and excel assignments and passed the course with a C while boasting a 52% exam average... submit assignments on time and you WILL pass.
By far my least favorite professor at MU. Gives a cocky and arrogant vibe like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Learned a lot in his class and he makes sure you know the material though. Will help if you ASK. Don't get me wrong he is a smart man that knows his stuff. I just wouldn't take him again.
If you take Blazer be prepared for a lot of work. But that's one thing I liked about him. You can fail a test, like bad, and still pass the class at the end of the semester with an A. He gives a lot of opportunities to get easy A's one homework and quizzes. His tests are hard but he gives you practice tests that help a lot.
Such a hard class!! OMG! Barely going to pass... If there is another professor for this class I would highly recommend, but if not, good luck! Buddy up with someone for help because you will need it!
Definitely a hard class content wise, but even if you fail every test you can still pass by doing all the assignments. My test average was a 27 percent and I still got a C+ in the class. Gives great feedback and has videos for almost every topic.
Dr. Blazer as a professor is great. He is caring and really gives a plethora of material to learn from. As for this online class.... Extremely difficult and time consuming. He warns students ahead of time - listen to him!! Be prepared to spend 8+ hours a day on hw. This class is for the person who literally has nothing else to do in their life.
I would stay away because there are other options
Hard class, with lots of work outside and in the classroom. 2 weekly homework assignments, as well as 1 weekly excel spreadsheet. He is hilarious, and gives you the grade you deserve, grading scale is homework heavy, so definitely do the homework. They are very time consuming but very worth doing. Awesome teacher, I love blazer.
Be prepared for a lot of work. The class is good to take if you have nothing else to do. If you're working 40+ hours a week; he won't care he'll tell you to drop the course because you won't pass the class. He doesn't understand that sometimes life isn't that simple. He says if you can't devote at least 8 hrs a day to his course, drop it.
Very caring professor and wants you to succeed. But way too much work for one class, especially a 300 lvl. You really need to devote your time to it and it's hard to do when you have other responsibilities. So if you're a college student with no other responsibilities then he is a great professor, avoid if you other responsibilities.
A lot of work to do but he will work with you if you put in the effort.
Anyone who has the opportunity to have Blazer should consider themselves extremely fortunate. He is one of the best professors I have ever had and may ever have. He genuinely cares about his students and making sure they learn the material. The course is extremely difficult and his exams are ruthless, but lots of homework accounts for much of grade
He takes his job seriously, and expects you to take learning seriously. He is very fair and does a great job explaining tough concepts. He is available for questions and very smart - you will get what you give. He lets you do more work to raise your grade, so if you get 60s & 70s on everything but do it ALL you can still get an A. Very cool system
Dr. Blazer is one of the hardest and least-caring professors I ever had. His finance class is online and for a 5 week course the material that you have to cover in that short amount of time is very very hard. Do NOT take him unless you absolutely have to. He does not give extensions and does not have sympathy for emergencies. I do not recommend.
Blazer is one of the best professors Ive had at MU! Lots of work and studying involved but if you put in the work, you will get a good grade! Review previous exams and actually work through the problems and youll be fine!
Prof Blazer is an amazing professor. I took buad 341 with him over the summer and it was a lot of work but worth it. He will always answer your emails and helps you with any problems during the semester. Expect to spend 8 hours a day on his class work.
Dr Blazer wasnt the best at teaching an online class. He didnt have any lectures/videos to help learn the material. Instead he just assigned a lot of Connect homework and you have to figure it out. Hardest class I have ever taken. If you have to take BUAD161, ask questions and keep asking until you TRULY understand what is being taught. Good luck.
Professor Blazer didn't care for his students, and after numerous attempts on concerns for grades., he didn't budge on providing assistance to students who really needed it. If you can, take someone else. Good Luck
Professor Blazer takes his job a little too seriously. He assigns an excessive amount of homework every week but doesn't actually show you how to do it. His lecture videos are over 8 years old, so not exactly sure what he's being paid for. Also don't expect much help from him. When I asked for help he basically just told me to figure it.
Stay away from his online class offering. There are no lectures that he's recorded for his classes. He has tutorials on specific problems recorded and referenced on YouTube, but the videos range from 2 - 5 years ago. Everything is self-taught from text, essentially a correspondence course. Unfair expectation of student output vs. professor input.
Dr. Blazer is a great professor. Managerial Finance is a tough course that just requires organization. Stay on top of the content. Communication with Dr. Blazer is amazing and he seems to get back to you almost immediately no matter the time or day of the week. Take advantage of this. Dr. Blazer always welcomes you in his office for help.
One of the worst professors I've had thus far. Expect all of your free time to go to his course if you expect to do well. Do not take this course if you have a job or full schedule, especially online. The average exam grades are always extremely poor and require a curve, and the homework assignments you will not get much direction from him either.
Awfully harsh and draining professor. Save yourself time & energy by steering clear. Example of his grading: He creates custom questions that are not in your favor. One example: Four independent T/F in one question. You get two correct & two incorrect = 0/4. Incorrect answers negate the correct answers, even though they're independent statements.
Took this online and accelerated. Didn't have much interaction with Blazer because I didn't need to. Asked him a question once and his answer was not helpful at all. Luckily didn't need him much because the text book and homework teach you everything. Lots of homework but not difficult. Tests and similar to to homework problems.
Eric Blazer is an absolutely awful professor. Literally should be fired. Gives 5,000,000 hours of homework every week with no lectures on how to do anything. The most difficult grader I have ever experienced. He does not care whatsoever that you put effort into anything, if it is not absolutely perfect he gives you a terrible grade. Stay away
Absolutely insane amount of work that is repetitive. Exams are impossible for the time he gives. Offers extra credit, but it is hardly worth anything and each one takes over 2 hours alone.
Absolutely horrible. Would not recommend to anyone unless you want to hate your life every day of the semester.
i dont know where he is getting the grades he is too harsh we are not learning we are just there to submit whatever needed.
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! get ready do 8+ hrs of work for him a week, if not more. get ready to teach yourself. and get ready to hate your life. super harsh grader, if it's not the way he likes it it's wrong. quizzes and test are harshly graded. 10pt quizzes but 9 problems are 0.25pts and 1 question being 7.5pts. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
The absolute worst professor I've ever encountered at this university. The amount of work he assigns is absurd and no one I've known who had him has regarded him as a good professor. He'll forget what he's even talking about while teaching and can barely understand the concepts he's supposed to be teaching. He should have his tenure removed asap!
Grades incredibly harsh. Two 5,000-word papers on top of discussion posts and reading 2 books. Only reason I gave him a two is because he is polite and responds to emails in a timely manner. Unless you do everything exactly how he does it/wants it done, don't expect a good grade.
Prof Blazer's class is challenging, but engaging if you put in the effort. Unstuck AI and the free textbook were super helpful for staying on top of the material. Expect to dedicate 8+ hrs/day, but it's worth it for a solid grade.
Worst professor I've ever had. Uses chatGPT to create his class lectures but doesn't check that the information is actually correct. Arrogant toward students. Not helpful at all. Makes you purchase the textbook for the homework but he doesn't teach it the same way. Class averages on exams were so bad that he had to give 40% curves on most of them.
Dr Blazer is a nice guy, but I would avoid his classes at all costs. His exams are extremely difficult and often have a 35% curve, and the test average is still a C or D. He uses ChatGPT to create his handouts and doesn't check to make sure that the info is correct, often saying things that contradict the notes.
By far the hardest yet most rewarding course I've ever taken. Expect to invest very serious time if you want to succeed, but Dr. Blazer will do the same. I gained knowledge that will truly benefit my life and my career. Exams are ruthless... but so are the CPA exams. They are also generously curved. Challenging but very rewarding course overall.
He does not care about students actually passing the class and learning the material. He only cares about academic integrity. He assigns way too much homework, so taking this class is essentially a part-time job.
