Sound like your listening to Dave Shelly and Chainsaw...The National Ba............................ sketball Association.

WORST EVER!!!!!!!!!!! he is terrible! (mean and a bad teacher)

Horrible instructor, He does not explain everything class is very repetitive and you might as well not go on the days w/ no groupwork cause the notes are on the website verbatim. Quite possibly the worst teacher at SDSU AVOID THIS CLASS IF POSSIBLE

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE TEACHER. DOESN'T HELP YOU AT ALL, DO NOT, I REPAEAT, DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE!!!

He is a horrible teacher. I will be taking this class over, because I could not pass, event though I have a 3.7 GPA.His lecture does not help, his homework is impossible to figure out, and his test are even harder! No matter what, take another teacher!

HE REALLY DOES ENJOY STUDENTS FAIL. HE'S MEAN. BEST ADVICE IS READ CHAPTER BEFORE LECTURE THEN YOU'LL SOMEWHAT UNDERSTAND. THEN DO HOMEWORK AND KNOW IT WELL, I MEAN WELL. YOU'LL PROBABLY GET A C DOING THAT. BUT ME, I HAVE TO DO COURSE FORGIVE.

He is incredibly difficult. Sometimes he is rude with students. I don't recommend this teacher to anyone unless you later want to retake this class. His explanations are worthless.

Doesn't clearly explain his methods. Isn't always willing to answer questions. 40% of current class failed the first test 51% failed the second. Somewhat tempermental and rude to others. Group problems and quizzes are too lengthy to solve in time giv

for one his homework is like an exam and the exam is like a midterm that had little to do with the homework. you will be lost even if you read the book and go to class because he brushes over main points. formulas hard to find in book or powerpoints.

Unhelpful, rude, useless even if read chapter SERIOUSLY DO NOT TAKE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE I don't even recommend private tutor. I love accntng but I'm failing. He really shouldn't be teaching. Highest grade in class is B. SDSU SHOULD GET RID OF HIM

Rude, rude, rude. If you register for his class...you have already failed.He rolls his eyes at questions. His exams have only 10 questions. He's tricky. You are only graded on pop quizzes, scary/embarrassing pop group work, and exams.

I HATE THIS PROFESSOR! He is the worst and uncaring teacher at SDSU. Dont listen to those random people who say hes not that bad! DO NOT TAKE HIM AT ALL COSTS! He does NOT curve and he fails half the class.

Teacher sucks! tests arent hard if you do the homework though. Classes are useless, but you have to go for quizzes and group problems. If you take him plan on learning the material by reading the book.

"pop" quizzes consistently every other day.hw does not prep u 4 quizzes.must be an acctant to do group quizzes.does not curve tests.found out he was EVIL & UNCOMPROMISING 2nd day.AND i am almost 100% sure that GRUDNITSKI left those "good&qu

Horrible professor. Answers questions with questions rather than answers. Rude to students, argumentative. Discourteous and unhelpful if you are able to find him during office hours. Exams are more about math tricks than accounting.

Hard! Hard! Hard!

This guy is about as bad as it gets. DO NOT take this class. He doesn't explain things at all; he is in his own world when he explains things. He is a disgrace to the SDSU college of business.

this guy sucks

A powerpoint professor who loves to read verbatim. Does not expound on lecture material or give any of his own input. Extremely unhelpful and rude. Will not answer questions when asked, and will not comprehensively work problems on the board.

He's the worst professor I've had at State. He has his own idea of what accounting is and expects everyone to understand his tricky math problems.

Does not answer questions...even during office hours. WIll NOT accept doctor's notes...even if it is serious...loves to give bad grades...DO NOT TAKE!!!!!

i have a 3.28 gpa and i got an F in his class

THIS IS THE WORST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD. He refuses to answer questions. I have a 3.78 GPA and had to withdraw from his class because I was earning a D by the second exam. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Get help immediately! You will need it!

didn't pass the class, took it 2nd time with diff professor got an A, no joke. AVOID HIM

If I wanted to watch powerpoint presentations for 50 minutes then go home.. wait.. no.. I would never WANT to do that. for the love of God do some teaching! HORRIBLE teacher.. do NOT enroll in his class...

PLZ DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! He is so hard, no joke. I got an A in acctg 201 and this is the hardest ever. Doesn't teach, but expects you to know it all, including his deceptive tricks. Tests are hard. Good luck to anyone that takes him!!!!!!!

No communication skills, very dry, does not help student when you ask a question, makes you feel stupid for asking him a question. tests are unfairly structured, likes you to figure out his test puzzles. the semester is not even over yet and im already rating him as very poor.

Someone hurt this man (his mother?) and damaged him so much that he is a total hater. Do not take this man if you have any other options.

Do what ever you can not to take this guy, he expects you to be a a professional accountant by the end of his lectures. First class i did not pass.

Worst teacher i've ever had. Gives homework and tests on things not even close to what he describes. Pop Quizzes are just as impossible and u do problems in groups that leave u more confused. Makes you feel stupid for askin questions. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, unless u want hell

When I asked a question he said, "If you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't be confused." not very helpful at all. doesn't test on what he teaches. tries to trick you on tests. quizzes are impossible. if you think you did well on a test, you didn't. expect to do poorly.

He was by far the worst teacher I have ever had!! I went to his office-during his office hours-to ask a question and he was incredibly rude and unhelpful. He has NO BUSINESS being a teacher!!! This class is incredibly difficult not for the content but for the way he presents it. Don't take this clas

What a joke this guy is

Not a very good professor. He's just there to collect a paycheck. I did well (A-), but it was because I stopped going to class. He acts like he is so far above the students at SDSU, but someone should remind him he works at SDSU.

ONE WORD HORRIBLE... WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD... HE DOESNT TEACH HE READS POWER POINTS AND ACTS LIKE YOUR STUPID IF U DONT GET IT RIGHT AWAY.. test are very tricky... he doesnt offer help and doesnt care about students

Grud****niski is the biggest cheesedick at state... the guy is an absolute maggot and cannot teach. Do not waste 3 units by taking his class, because he is the worst teacher u will ever come across

I can't stand him. He is an awful teacher. NEVER take him. I'm in two honors programs w/ a 3.6 GPA and I'm not sure if I'm going to pass this class. He is ridiculous. I hope he gets fired because he doesn't know how to teach. Get ready to teach yourself if you take him.

DO NOT DO IT! if you have to wait a semester to declare upper division..do it, its worth the wait, dont take him. As*****. Horrible horrible horrible, mean, all pwrpt, terrible, The WORST!

Horrible Horrible Horrible. Run as fast as you can from this man. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Professor not good. No help for students who have trouble.

The only thing worse than Grudnitski is a ****, this man should be drug into the street and beaten. There is no hope w/ him. Its worth waiting a semester to declare upper div or taking summer school. Reads pp slides verbatim, gets pissed when students ask Q's bec he can't clarify an asset from a liablity. gRUDEnitski!

Grudnitski is the worst professor ever!! He won't help you in class or office hours. he is the biggest jerk in the world. AVOID, AVOID AVOID. Trust me. If you ask a question he'll just look at you and not answer making you feel extremly stupid. hopefully he gets fired because u will have to teach yourself. I learned nothing from him.

Bitter old man who does not like to help out. I consistenly got bad grades on my quizzes, as did everyone else, and he didn't even address them. he'd just go on to the next chapter and confuse the hell out of us once again. during group problems if we didn't understand something he'd get pissed and offer no help whatsoever. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!

This class is difficult and the professor is not nice. He's about as stiff and unhelpful as they come. Unfortunately, he's the only one teaching this class and unfortunately he hasn't retired.

RUN AWAY. This is the worst class that you will probablly ever have in your life. He makes you life a living hell. I felt physically sick in his class. There is no way you can understand what he is saying and if you ask him a question he just answers with another question. Avoid at all costs.

Can't stand him!! He doesn't care about his students or how poorly the whole class is doing. Horrible at explaining things and if you ask him a question he gets angry.

This guy just sucks!

worst professor ever! His lectures make sense and so does the homework but I failed each quiz (weekly) and every midterm (3 of them) He isn't very helpful when you have questions and doesn't really care whether or not you understand or are doing well. He also has NO curve....DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!

WORST TEACHER EVER!!!! He is soo HARD to understand. I have never felt so dumb in my life. I studied for days before the tests, read the book and went to A+ and still barely passed with a C. It was terrible but you have no choice so good luck A+ will save you!!!

go to A plus!!!!

Barely went to the lecture and small section. Failed every test, and still got a C. Dipset all day.

Worst professor ever! Never been happier in my life to squeak by with a C. I was literally jumping up and down because I didn't have to take this class again.

Horrible. Tried my hardest and got a c . If you can avoid taking him then you should

GAH! horrible class. everyone fails and one huge curve at the end. Impossible to do well. Went to all a plus reviews and still got a c! try to avoid if u can!! just a warning

RUN RUN RUN, if you make it out of this class alive everyone else will be freaking out during Acct 321 and youll be like "whats the problem at least its not Grudnitski"

I'm going to take my 2nd test today and I think I am going to fail. His test are so hard. I got a 51/100 on my first test:(((((((((((I feel so sad. I never failed a class in my life:( I might have to take this class again!! Oh bummer!!!

I would NEVER recommend him to anyone taking classes at San Diego State.

This guy was a horrible professor that did not give any redeeming qualities in regards to accounting. Dont bother going to lecture you wont learn anything. Go to A+ and you will do fine.

DO NOT TAKE AT STATE, we need to show the school that the way they have set up this class/chosen this professor is destroying kids, average test scores are in the 50s, and until state starts to lose money off of them, they aren't going to change it. Start the revolution don't take this ridiculous LOWER division class.

Worst professor you will ever have. Take at a junior college. But if you must take it here, go to A+ Review. Wanted to be an accountant before this class and he ruined it for me. Impossible tests and pointless weekly quizzes and clicker questions. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

like everyone said, take it at community college. lecture is pretty useless except for clicker points, hw helps your grade a little so make sure you do it, and quizzes are HARD. i've never felt the need to go to A+ for any other class, but i went to it for all three exams AND got extra tutoring, i'm pretty sure i wouldn't have passed otherwise.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! but if you are bestowed with the misfortune of having his lecture, just don't go. Or go. Doesn't matter at all. Clicker points hardly count for anything anyways. GO TO A+ to survive!

One word...sucks. Its like he thinks you already know the subject and is just reminding you. His examples are without explanation and if you happen to be in his AM class....good luck staying awake. Consider yourself EXTREMELY motivated if you go to even half the lectures. I wish I would have taken this class at a community college.

This class made me and all my friends change majors.

Professor's lecture section presents a lot of information, but said information is presented far too quickly to be of much use on its own. I had to refer to the textbook after every class to be able to understand anything presented in the class. Also the test times are brutal to say the least. My section had our tests at 8 o'clock on Saturdays.

Garys class is pretty boring. He reads directly from the ppt, which is directly from the book.. I could just read the information on my own but attendance is required because we get points for "PE" questions. It's a hard class, so hope you get a good TA cause he's the only professor for it... He does have a quirkiness about him that can be funny.

After spending at least 3-5 hours a week studying for this class, doing practice problems, doing homework, and praying to the curve I still didn't pass. Since I didn't do too well on the exams I attended office hours many times and he was condescending and not helpful. This class is much more difficult that it needs to be. Grading is subjective.

This professor is the worst professor I've ever encountered. He is unhelpful, uninteresting, and completely ridiculous in his grading. If you can DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE WITH HIM. Biggest mistake yet.

absolute worst professor ever. take at community college. avoid at all costs. i learned absolutely nothing. i learned everything (which wasn't much) from the book.

Just to clarify, this class has no curve, but a C is anywhere between a 60%-79%. Professor and TAs are unhelpful and don't actually teach anything.

dont worry, youll pass and get a C, but good luck getting anything else. Set up of class is backwards. small section should be teaching, large section should be testing but of course they do it opposite and it screws you over. A+ is the only hope

Avoid him at all costs! Worst class/spent all my $ at A+ and still only got a C! Go to the community college and take accounting if you can!

literally the worst class i have taken at state. the T.A.'s aren't allowed to help us at session breakout, and no explanation or clarity was ever given.

He was the worst teacher I have ever had throughout my education. He goes through the large lecture slides so fast, does a horrible job explaining them, and is really unhelpful. His tests are extremely difficult, he WILL take points off for every small detail I had a great T.A. for my small class, he taught me everything I learned. STAY AWAY.

Not only is he completely terrible at teaching, he is inconsiderate and unsympathetic toward the students he teaches. He could care less about how we are doing, which is shown in that he doesn't actually teach. It is not surprising that this is the most failed class here. I've never had a worse teacher before and the situation is disappointing.

Horrible. Confusing lecture every week and small section where you take a group and individual quiz. No teaching is going on and everything is graded, participation points and hw included. No other option for accounting so you just have to pray that you can pass.

This subject is a hard subject to begin with and Grudnitski does NOT help make it easier whatsoever. The only reason I got a B was from private tutoring, A+ Review, and lot's of practice! My TA was pretty useless as well. Take it elsewhere!!!

Very difficult class!!! Gary's lectures are very dry yet fast paced. Go to A+ review if you want any chance at passing, they saved my grade. Go to lecture cause there are clicker points and there are quizes everyweek in the lab section. Be prepared to teach yourself!

Class sucks but is mandatory. put in effort and you'll pass with a C, don't expect much more

Quizzes are impossible and the tests are hard too. Lecture is boring and somehow I got a B. Good luck.

Worst professor hands down I have has at SDSU. Does not care at all about his students and is not helpful at all if you ask questions. TA's are pretty useless too. Didn't learn anything in this class. Failed every test and still passed the class...... AVOID THIS PROFESSOR

Big lecture, boring, not clear and he is not helpful at all. TA's don't do a very good job at explaining either. TESTS AND QUIZZES harrrdddd! Passed the class getting 78% 37% and 42% on midterms and the final. Do all the homework, it helps your grade! GOODLUCK!
