Great professor. Lectures are interesting even though the book makes it sort of dry. Midterm wasn't bad but the final was much harder (most of the material from the year was on it). Pay attention in lecture as he emphasizes the key points. Need to keep up with the pace throughout the semester as you cover around a chapter a week with homework.

Professor Wasserman is the man. He is there to help everyone! Talk to him, he's an awesome guy. Especially if you want to be an accounting major. Highly recommended for financial accounting, intermediate and auditing.

Financial accounting is not an easy class at Rutgers, but professor Wasserman made it better. The three hour lecture went by fast in his class. He is a great guy and really cares about his students both inside and outside the classroom

Professor Wasserman is the best professor I have ever had. He gives a lot of homework but he gives you a lot of time to complete it. The lectures can get boring but he makes it interesting with his funny comments. If u sit towards the front he will get to know you and your name. Hands down best prof.

You get lots of time to do HW. Financial Acct is a hard class overall, but he makes it enjoyable and really tries to help you. I would def recommend him (:

Exams are hard. Homework is tedious. Get reading and homework down and you will be fine for exams.

As long as you stay on focus in his lectures, complete all the assignments on time, attend those tutor sessions, there is no reason to get anything below a B.

mad easy class. dont have to show up

financial acctg IS a hard class that requires a lot of solid effort so from this standpoint you can't really blame him for those hard tricky exams. I had a hard time following him at lectures so i read the textbook cover to cover and outlined it and did the homework multiple times. the amount of effort put in WILL show on the grade. don't blame.

Prof Wasserman is a great professor who CARES about his students. If you are concerned about your grade, go to his office hours and he will literally sit down with you and break down the grading. Financial accounting is a very difficult class, use the tutors the department provides. STUDY HIS SLIDES for his exams

ECW CPA is the man. Best choice for Financial Accounting. Not an easy class, but his lectures are entertaining enough to keep you somewhat locked in. WileyPlus sucks but is the best method of learning some dry stuff.

If you're taking Accounting, this is the guy to take it with. Homework is a bit much but pace yourself and don't wait for the week of the due date. Teaches very clearly, and has a lot of resources to help you understand the material. What you learn will really stick with you. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it is VERY helpful.

Ecwcpa is the man! He explains very clearly, and keeps you focused. You HAVE to understand the material to do well in his class, highly recommend him. Sit on the front!

Wasserman is by far the best financial accounting professor. Go to class and sit in the front, understand the concepts, and don't save all the homework until last minute. The exams are very manageable if you go over your homework and do the ORION practices problems in Wiley (a hidden gem when it comes to studying for this class). He's also funny

He likes to call on and make examples out of people sitting in the front, I didn't sit in the front but if you usually go to lecture and listen (for the most part) and do Wiley HW (somewhat) ahead of time you should be fine. His exams are all MC but as long as you do average/above average on exams and do all the Wiley, you can def get at least a B

ECWCPA as he calls himself is definitely a tough professor. Hardest of all the financial accounting professors. From a teaching perspective, Wasserman is very thorough and experienced in the material, its just that his tests are insane. The class has a solid curve, so you probably will pass, just study the ORIÓN and the homework.

if you do every single hw problem multiple times, read the slideshow fully and know it super well, and go to one on one tutoring sessions, you will get an A

I had Professor Wasserman for Intro to Financial Accounting and I would definitely take him again. He is a great professor. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you sit in the first few rows he will be more interactive with you. MC exams. Go to class b/c there is always a question on the exam that deals with an example he gave in class.

Professor Wasserman is funny. The exam is heavy but if you work hard on it you may be fine. There is also a class assistance which needed registration. The tutor there is helpful.

It' not an easy class but professor Wasserman is kind of funny. He kept interacting with the front roll so if you don't want to be asked in the class, don't sit in the front. The exams were not easy. You definitely need to study and complete all the assignments by yourself to pass this course.

I had Evan Wasserman for intro to financial accounting this semester and I can honestly say he was the best professor I have had at Rutgers. His exams are really easy and I got an A studying the day of the exam. His in class lectures are very interesting and hes a really good professor. Would recommend taking him for this class over any professor.

ECWCPA is a great instructor who cares about each student in his class. He is a very funny professor and his class as a whole was very interesting. His class is super easy. If he wasn't so funny, I would say you should just skip the class because attendance is not mandatory and the class is so easy you would have to try to fail it.

financial accounting with him was very very easy. Great instructor with very easy exams.

If you think by just going to class and doing your homework you'll be good, then you're underestimating accounting. I put more time in this class than the usual because accounting is no joke. ECW's lectures ARE boring, but there's a lot of practice in Wiley/ORION. Mind you, I knew NOTHING about accounting earlier and I did just fine in ECW's class.

Wassermen really knows his stuff and is a great professor, best one I have had here so far. He knows how to make students retain knowledge did not even have to study for exams.

Wasserman is a fantastic Professor. As long as you go to class, you will easily pass; memorizing his slides and lectures is enough to do well. Hes also really, really funny.

Many students dislike Wasserman, but he's a great guy who truly cares about helping his students. The class is tough, and you have to study a lot for the exams, but the workload is manageable. Do all the extra hw problems and the Orion problems, and you should do well in the class.

Not that bad. He's a decent teacher and makes sure that you learn the material and can be funny at times. However, is a major stickler when it comes to exams. Attendance not required and is fine with laptops.

Although it is a very test heavy course with 70% of your grade on two exams (30 on midterm 40 on final). The test on the midterm was basically the slides he gives you if you understand the slides you will have no problem getting an A on the midterm. I only studied for two days and got an 85 on the midterm it is out of 40 questions

The course is difficult. Three exams and homework throughout the course. Homework was online, and doable and should boost your grade a lot. People tend to struggle with the exams but he gives you study guides telling you the topics you will be tested on. I thought it was really fair and straight foward. Wasserman is a great guy and super helpful.

This is a tough course. As a person with zero accounting background, and feared for the difficulty of this class, I had to work for my A. People say Wasserman is tough, and he is if you don't study. He gives study guides before every exam, and they are VERY helpful. As long as you know the study guide in and out and do the homework, you'll be fine!

Homework can get annoying long. Other than that Like professor Wasserman's class. His jokes are funny. He explained the concepts well. I didn't teach myself anything. His exams are easy

Wasserman is truly underrated and I don't understand the negative reviews here. His exams are all MC and are very representative of the study guides he shares. If you have a background in accounting you should be able to breeze through this course. As long as you know the study guide in and out and can do every hw problem, you will be good on exams

To learn the auditing material, read the textbook. Wasserman only goes through the highlights in class. Funny lectures and real life stories to keep students engaged. Tough exams and case paper. Makes you learn auditing. Lots of HWs. Prepares you well for future careers and the CPA exam.

Took Financial Accounting with Prof Wasserman over the summer. It's a lot of material and he gives tons of homework. He grades fairly and wants to help his students. Definitely study the textbook and ask him your questions. It's crucial to understand accounting concepts.

A lot of the reviews seem harsh. It's not an easy subject and while a lot of the time he was not fully clear in instructions, when it came to the actual material he was a good teacher. Homework is long but they really helped when it came time for exams. It's a class that needs effort, but don't be intimidated, he'll help you if you ask for it

Professor Wasserman is the great professor with strong sense of responsibility! He explains everything in details for sure. I have seen many unfair comments of him before I decide to take his class. After taking his class, I must say those comments are not true. I start feeling interested in accounting. Take him if you want to learn!

Pro's: - Specific and Clear in class -Good Homeworks helps retain information. do them and understand them. -Best Textbook I've ever read, use Wiley -No stupid Questions. spends as much time as necessary teaching you in office hours Con's: -Talks fast, hard to keep up -NEED to go to class to retain info Conclusion: Great Professor. Hard Course.

Great professor will make sure you understand the topic thoroughly before he moves on in his lecture.

I'm honestly really shocked by his bad ratings. I'm taking him this semester for Intro to Financial Accounting. He's very extroverted which makes class really fun. I think he's good at explaining concepts and the textbook he uses is also really helpful. I think he's a good prof but people hate accounting and therefore don't like him lol

Attendance isn't mandatory, but you should go because he really explains the concepts. He also provides slides with his own annotations. The grading scale for the accounting department is messed up, but he tries his best. For the exams, just make sure that you really understand the concepts

Prof Wasserman really is one of a kind! His exams can be a bit difficult, but if you study you'll totally be fine. He is super funny and engaging and he explains the concepts extremely well. You can tell he is passionate about accounting and wants students to succeed. Most of your grade is exams, but if you study it's a manageable class. Take him!!

I am not sure what everyone's issue is, but I took this class last sem for 2 weeks and dropped because I didn't understand a thing. After retaking this Summer I have been doing great. He may be a little bit odd with his teaching methods, but using anecdotes and including the class in his examples makes it really interesting. I would recommend him.

For fin accounting he's a great professor. Grading is straightforward, just homework and a few exams. The tests are pretty easy given the material you learn in the class -- all multiple choice. As long as you study well before tests you'll do great.

Don't listen to negative reviews. He makes a very boring topic not boring. His lectures are very informative. His homework is fairly deep but it is work that you would be doing anyway to review for exams. If you can do the homework without having to look too much at your notes you will get A. Definitely take him for intro to financial accounting.

Challenging upper-level course as expected. The professor is knowledgeable and passionate about the subject.

His lectures are funny, but he mostly just reads from the slides. Homework is pretty intensive, but helps prepare you for exams. Exams are all MC and fairly straightforward if you know the material well. Posts all class recordings, but expects good attendance. Overall, he is very fair and the class is easy if you pay attention.

I took Intro to Financial Accounting and I thought he was a great! His notes come straight from the textbook and are easy to follow along with. Super funny and easy to ask him questions. Get to know him and he will approach you during lectures to answer some things or just talk! Make sure to do the homework on time because some problems are long!

Professor Wasserman keeps the class engaging with his interactive teaching style. The homework is challenging but helpful for exam prep. Unstuck AI and the free textbook were great study tools. Overall, a solid intro accounting course.

Professor Wasserman is an extremely fair teacher who bases his exams completely off the homework's. If you understand the homework's and study the concepts being utilized in the homework's you will be able to receive an A in this class. His lectures are very engaging so it is worth it to show face for class. I 100% recommend this professor.

Attendance being optional is awesome. There is a weird group audit paper, but it's really easy, just make sure you cover all topics in it. The exams were challenging but sort of like the hw but slightly harder. Class is difficult, but if you keep up with the chapters you'll be fine. DONT FALL BEHIND LIKE ME trust

Take him for financial accounting. Show up to lecture and he will explain things very clearly. Is a great professor in comparison to other financial accounting professors, and honestly one of my favorite I've had so far at RBS. Exams are easy and are similar to the homework.

All of these bad reviewers just didn't go to the lectures. Professor Wasserman's class is very easy, but is difficult if you don't participate or show up to class. His lectures are exactly what's on the exams, so as long as you go you'll do fine. Only abt 30 students in my around 100 student class show up to the lectures, so why people do bad.

His rating is so low because people do not show up to class (~30%). The reason why: no clue. I was pretty worried about the difficulty of financial accounting going into the class so I made sure to go to every lecture, and I was surprised how easy his exams were: it is EXACTLY like the homework and the problems that he goes over in class.

Absolutely hilarious and very experienced, so definitely go to lectures. Plus he might include information only from lectures in his exams. His teaching style definitely isn't optimal, so I suggest you review some lecture material as the course progresses. Definitely participate and ask him questions about his work experience.
