He is very rigid in his approach and can be intimidating, but if you truly want to learn, there is no other teacher in the dept that comes close to being as good.

Best teacher I've ever had for accounting!

Okay, accounting is not an exciting subject, so the class is a little slow. But if you pay attention, you really get a lot from this guy and it's hard to get less than a B. The course is so easy, definitely take it with him.

Very good, Knows his stuff, boreing yeah, homework lots

He is a great prof and tells you exactly what he wants. It is difficult to change his mind on anything (i.e. late assignment) Bascially slackers hate him, everyone else atleast sees he teaches well and what you see is what you get no surprises.

If you go to class and pay attention, yes they are extremely boring, you will learn everything you need to know for the tests, which make them quite easy.

Looks like Mr. Roger's less cool brother. Comatose boring, but you will learn enough in this class to carry you through ACCT 212. Lots of homework, tests on covered material. Make an effort you will do well.

Very Smart Prof. Knows what he is teaching. If you are acct major or if you want to learn accounting go for him else I dont recommend.

useful info but has no idea how badly i could beat him.

Class was extremely boring, but if you can pay attention and do the homework you will know everything for the tests. There won't be any suprises.

If you do the homework and look over the reading it will be an easy A. Lecutres get a little long and boring but not a hard class.

Bergin is a good professor. He's not the most fun fellow ever, but this is accounting, not social hour. He knows his stuff and explains it over and over again in handy slides. The homework isn't hard and the tests aren't bad. He's a good accounting teacher, you'll learn a lot if you apply yourself.

Not that bad, do the homework and you should do fine in the class. A bit boring, but hey, it's accounting class.

A good teacher, take him and you'll learn a lot about the basics of accounting.

Hes the best professor that there is in WSU accounting department. Knows his stuff like ****. follow his rules and regulations and keep up with the class , theres no way u wont get an A . 60% of our class got As 35% Bs, there was one C and one D.

He is very good at teaching accounting. He writes his own notes and makes a worksheet book for you for only $14 instead of the $150 every other accounting class has to pay. The tests are easy if you check over your notes first. Nice guy with a somewhat dry sense of humor.

At least an hour of homework every night

very good prof. very clear and helpful with questions. takes time to fully understand subject.

He comes off as a tough teacher the first couple of weeks, but he lightens up. Homework every night though, but it's not hard. Open book and notes tests EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST ONE! My class thought the first one was too because he said it was, but we found out when we got there it wasn't. Just keep up with the work, and you'll get a good grade.

a lot of hw but he is very felxible in terms of points..to get an 90/100 in hw all you need is 70% of the hw points, so its easy..tests can be challanging if you dont do any hw or go to class, but not bad if you apply yourself

He is not that bad of a professor. Knows his material and slides are very helpful. All homework can me done easily by looking at slides. Has monotone voice but uses plenty of real examples to help you understand the material. Had a harsh attitude towards students. Would recommend for accounting majors.

There is a lot of homework for this class, but it's easy if you follow his directions. Seems kind of pompous the first few weeks, but lightens up after a while. 3 tests that aren't bad at all.

If you want to learn more things in accouting and excel then don't miss this opportunity...though too much work but if u do it you will learn a lot of stuffs...i think he is the best professor in the accounting department...The only thing is he wants everything to be perfect.

In this class you can expecet about 2 hours of homework to do each time you attend. There are so many assignments but if you do them and do them well they can raise your grade a lot, but if you mess up it can be trouble cuz you will have to go back and fix what was wrong. You learn a lot in this class. He is very picky about how things are done.

Bergin is a decent professor, his class can be difficult if you don't want to try, and if that is the case then get out. He is a smart man just gets a little mono toned.

Overall I would rate him as an easy professor. He can get pretty monotone and boring, but he goes over everything and the homework is occasionally time consuming, but easy overall. You use a big packet instead of a book so that save you atleast $100. Overall, its an easy A.

I took Bergin for Acct 211, 212, 220, and 312 and yes by choice! He really is not that bad. Has everything laid out so you know exactly what to expect. Homework is due almost every class but the only way to learn is to do. I will admit 312 was pretty difficult but not impossible to get an A. If you want to learn take Bergin he knows Acct!!!

Book isn't required, just a big packet with all of his slideshows and homework. Pretty easy teacher. Goes over homework before all the tests. Just pay attention and go over the slideshows before tests. "The answer to all lifes' questions are in the slides" as he would say.

The only reason why people don't like professor Bergin is because he assigns so much homework. How else will you learn accounting if you don't practice the applications. If you don't want to learn, then don't be in any of his classes!

He is a very responsible and nice teacher, I learned a lot from his class. He is hard, but he teaches very clear and good. You really learn things from his class.

Pay attention, go to class easy A.

Great Professor. All you need to do in this class is show up, listen, and do the homework. Just do the homework and look at the lecture slides if you do not get the homework. "the answer to all life's questions are in the slides" as Bergin would say. The book for this class is a giant packet with powerpoint notes and homework for only $15.

Great professor. I will be getting an A in this class but that is because I sit in the front. His teaching style is different because you are presented with all the notes and have to learn from them as he reads the notes with his monotonic voice. You should at least get a B in this class if you show up, do the homework, and listen.

Very intimidating and boring teacher, you will get out of it what you put into it. Don't fall behind - he collects homework daily but assigns 2-6 problems and collects one. It's difficult and frustrating if you cannot figure it out on your own. Basically teaching yourself the class.

Study and know the notes from the presentations and you will do fine. I recommend printing them off and following along in class.

Overall a pretty good professor. I know many students can't stand him but if you do your work, and pay attention in class its good. He comes off as arrogant but can actually be pretty funny sometimes. Really knows his stuff, you just need to have the guts to ask him. Also, answer questions asap, he will stand there and wait until someone does.

As long as you go to class and pay attenion you should be fine. He curves the test and by the end of class he does make sure you know how to do accounting. Trust me put in the time now with a little bit harder teacher so you can have the reward later when you know everything and students who didn't take him don't know anything.

Bergin is a good teacher but terrible at lecturing. If you show up to his class and pay attention, do the homework, you will do decent on the tests and therefore good overall in the class. I enjoyed having Bergin for this class. Good guy!!

If you show up every day and manage to stay awake during his class and also do all the homework you will get at least a B.
