Talks very fast, doesn't cover enough material in class.
Reading,Studying,&doing your assigned homework is the key to passing his class!!
Must do your homework, read, and come to class! If he tells you that something will be on the exam, you can take his statement to the bank. It is true! Looks like Larry of the Three Stooges except that his hair is gray. Good teacher and he does talk fast.
I agree that he talks too fast. He knows what he's talking about and doesn't ramble around like some professors do. His tests are fair and tells you what kinds of problems to study so you won't be spinning your wheels unnecessarily.
Interesting and knows his stuff. Very fair on grading policies and gives good lectures. Had him for an 8 o'clock and he kept me awake!
TERRIBLE! talks too fast, writes so sloppy u can't read what he has put on the board. tests are hard even if u read the all the chapters twice
He's really good. He does talk fast but he's really funny. He always tells you what's going to be on the tests. There are plenty of opportunities to get a good grade without too much work. Definately recommend!
Speaks a little fast. But very willing to help students.
Does talk fast, but covers what is on the test. Gives mock test that covers what will be on the next test and goes over it. Stays on track is is funny. Well, as funny as you can get while teaching accounting.
Accounting teacher or rapper? Yeah, he talks fast, but you can pull a good grade in his class by being there on quiz day b/c the problems he gives on the quiz are similar problems of those on the test. Multiple choice on the tests are hard though.
He talks fast but the class isn't that bad. The test are ok as long as you know the math but the multiple choice is horrible. But the homework and quizes are so easy and helps your grade alot.
Fast talker, sometimes his examples can make it hard to remember what the key ideas are. If you read and do the homework, tests are easy. Come to class because he gives freebie points randomly if you are in class.
Fast talking Yankee, but seems like a nice guy with good sense of humor. Gives "quiz" points for attendance. Exams are similar to homework. Grades fairly. Posts lecture outline online. Some multiple choice questions are difficult; intro accounting theory - debit vs. credit balance accounts, etc.
He teaches very fast. His test are not that hard if you can grasp what he is teaching at a fast pace.
Goes at his own pace. Cares more about himself adn keeping up with pace than the students. Does not care if students get their General Ledger or Internet Projects back, he does not hand them out just sits them down and gives the entire 150 student class about 15 seconds to find theirs.
Hard teacher to understand at times. Exam was too difficult. Talks too fast.
This class is very hard but passable and I dont think hes a bad teacher. Just talks TOO fast. He gave us so many free points and he really wants you to pass. He gives mock tests which are extremely helpful for problem part of test. If u come to class everyday and take good notes, you should be fine.
Despite the bad rating,I think that Dr. Lukawitz really cares about the students;he hates for you to fail and does everything he can to help you pass;problem is he talks way way way too fast and is too concerned with keeping on course with the syllabus;i did not learn anything at all;he does not answer questions adequately;avoid like the plague!
Awesome professor, very important to go to class and take good notes...left accounting 2010 with no knowledge but walked out of there feeling like i could teach accounting, excellent job period. if you know your stuff which he'll teach you if you're a good student then you'll be fine. very worthwhile.
Took both ACCT classes from him, and loved him every step of the way! Yes, he talks fast, but ... You can interrupt him @ any minute w/ a question. Had a blast in that class, and learned SOOOOO much! Still friends with him today!
Great instructor if you can slow him down if you can't hate it for you, just pray that professor Morgret is teaching it with him.
Lukawitz was the****... teaches a lil fast....but funny as hell... i missed at least 10-15 MWF classes and got a B, its not that hard
He DOES talk really fast, but his class is still passable. The mock tests he gives before the exams are pretty helpful, so definitely study those!
the speed of his teaching leaves alot to be desired. attempts to give way too much information at one time that does not seem to be related to one another. we are going over chapters at the same time that are not at all related. really needs to slow down and realize that the subject is difficult enough without having 4 projects at one time.
HARD B-C CONFUSING. THINK YOU UNDERSTAND BUT WHEN GET HOME FIND YOU KNOW NOTHING. TESTS HARD HARD EVEN WHEN YOU STUDY.ASK QUESTIONS & TAKE NOTES. 2 GROUP PROJECTS SO DON'T WAIT TIL LAST MINUTE. ALSO SOME ONLINE HOMEWORK BUT IT HELPS ALOT.
Talks a bit fast, but teaches alright. Lectures are a little confusing until you do the examples. Online homework (eGrade) helps alot when done before the tests along with the mock tests he emails.
knows what he is talking about and very nice but just can't teach it very well. talks very fast. test are so what hard. egrade hwk sucks a fat one. most people in my class I talked to said they were failing him.
I'll post my comments AGAIN!! Do not take this man!!! Save your parents hard earned money. Take an online course or one at Southwest. He gets "kick backs" from Wiley and that is why he does ALEKS. He knows the subject but cannot teach it. I had more info on my last rating but evidently someone was offended.
Talks way to fast!!!
AWEFUL!! i'm an 'a' student and had to withdrawl. spent 25-30 hours a week in tutoring. terrible teacher. doesn't teach. expects you to know everything. STAY AWAY!!!
talks waayy too fast! Expects you to know about accounting beforehand! he knows the information, the way he teachs is not effective. take course at southwest!
Too much work!!
I liked him. He gave quizes and gave us half the answers. If you do the homework you will pass.
Fast talker, but knows what he is talking about. He gives you a lot of work, but it is not too hard of a class. I got a 68 on my second test in the class and after test errors/extra credit, my score was an 86 lol. Overall, I came in this class with NO accounting knowledge, and it ended up being a good experience for me, especially with morgret
HORRIBLE TEACHER! HE RUSHES EVERYTHING AND DOESNT CARE IF STUDENTS UNDERSTAND OR NOT! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL!!
He knows what he's talking about, but he goes way to fast. It's hard to take notes, and listen to him at the same time. His mock test are the tests, he just changes the numbers. The final is just about impossible, tho.
No Comments
Goes a little fast, may seem like hes on caffeine constantly, but he is really passionate about the subject, and it can be an enjoyable class. Departmental final weighs heavily, but he also has it to where you may not do anything in his class, make an A on the final, and get a C in the class.
Don't even worry about going to class, he's going to email you the notes anyway.
Talks way to fast, and doesn't explain normal accounting procedures. Normal accountants say he uses inaccurate methods to find answers.
VERY HARD! Talks WAY to fast.. Impossible to finish the test.. if you take him then good luck getting the C- to pass.. BEWARE of the final
He's not good! The tests don't make any sense whatsoever, because he would come up with questions from out of nowhere. I've studied, but to no avail. The homework online is not hard, but not easy. The only pluses are that he would let you use notes for quizzes & give you bonus points for the exams. You'll be lucky if you get a C in that class.
He goes over the notes way too fast!! He is a good professor, but not as good teacher. Its basically up to you how well you do in his class, dont expect any help.
He's a really nice guy... but he goes WAAAAY too fast for a beginning accounting class!! His tests are really bad because if you miss one number on the equations.. then your whole test is wrong..
He is toooo MUCH!! I would not take him ever again! I will now go to SOUTHWEST! He talks fast and quizes are eazy but they dont count for anything at all!!!
He is not an extremely hard teacher by any means. The tests are made by a committee for all sections of the course, and he does a good job of preparing you for the tests. His lectures are beneficial and contain the majority of the information needed for the tests. I would recommend taking him.
He is a very good teacher. Makes everything pretty clear and usually goes over several homework problems that you later have to do online. Everything including tests and projects are made up by the department so he has no control but prepares you really well for them. I rarely went to class and made an A. I would recommend taking him. He's ver
This guy is great! He's hilarious, and a great teacher. Just don't go to class expecting an easy grade. Pay attention, do your homework, and study / go to study sessions, and you'll be fine. He makes you learn, so be prepared.
GREAT TEACHER NICEEST GUY> ONLY PROBLEM IS HE IS A FSU FAN>
This class was easy, but really a waste of time. He knew that it was a serious class too which was nice.
If you don't know acct well do not take this proff.
He is extremely familiar with the material, but sometimes forgets that others aren't. Although he was alwyas willing to help.. It isn't an easy A.. or B, but if you go to the STUDY SESSIONS and DO THE STUDY GUIDES, you will do fine.
HIS METHOD OF TEACHING DOES NOT WORK. HE EXPECTS NEW STUDENTS TO KNOW ALL ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES BEFORE HAND. I TOOK THE BEGINNING ACCOUNTING CLASS AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED LISTENING ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HELP. YOUR BASICALLY PAYING MONEY TO READ THE BOOK AND TAKE DEPARTMENTAL TESTS BECAUSE THIS GUY CANNOT TEACH.
Good class, but to learn you have to actually go to class! Take notes, read the book. He welcomes questions, too.
He is a great teacher who applies accounting to everyday transactions that you can understand. Anyone enrolled in Acct will HAVE TO READ THE BOOK in order to understand the concepts fully. Would highly recommend him. Wish he was teaching Acct II in the Fall.
He is a teacher that you have to come to class to do well in the class, but if you do that and pay attention in class and reviews all will be good.easy B or A.
This class is pretty hard. He is very knowledgeable but sometimes gets off subject or goes too fast for those who are unfamiliar with the material. You definitely have to go class to get a good grade, but it is incredibly boring. He's not a bad teacher, but he's not amazing either.
He TALKS so much for the entire class time. In order to pass you must go to class because he takes attendance by giving quizzes for a grade. You really have to teach yourself or go to tutoring if you want to understand because this man thinks its super easy and you should already know it. If you take him, go to class and study A LOT.
Lukawitz is pretty great. Accounting, to me at least, is not a very exciting subject, but he is very energetic and enthusiastic about his profession; he also likes to rag on Ole Miss graduates. It was a tough course but I showed up to all the classes and got a decent grade. Word of advice, print off the power points before class to follow along.
Excellent Professor! Highly recommend if you want to UNDERSTAND the material. Key to passing: YOU MUST READ FIRST THREE CHPTS AND UNDERSTAND THEM. Otherwise you will fall behind! You cannot use the powerpoints ONLY, if you don't already understnd acct. Buy the book, do homework & quizzes.In this case, it is not the instr. Acct can be difficult!
Teacher was great. Very clear. Go to class. Only students that don't do well are the ones that don't go to all the classes. Accounting is boring but this professor makes it fun. He kept me awake the whole time. Even shared some laughs. I highly recommend going to all classes and not falling behind.
I absolutely loved this class! And it had everything to do with the professor. He explains the material so well and tells you over and over what you will need to know. I could not have asked for a better professor for this course. I just really wish that he was teaching ACCT 2020 this fall!!
Great teacher. Just go to class and stay on top of your work.
He will answer the same questions multiple time until you understand. I love his teaching style, but his exams are too long!!!! I dropped out of his cost accounting class b/c I can't take both Cost & Intermediate at the same time. However, I would still take him if he teach Cost again.
Accounting 2010 and 2020 classes share the same syllabus,the professors hardly matters any more.Just make sure you make an "A" on the first exam,and do all the classwork,homework, and come to every class.If you can do that you will probably make an "A" in this class easily.Do not waste time studying your own,go to the SI tutoring sessions.
This guy will put you to sleep in his class. Take the MWF classes cause his TTH classes are way to long. If you do all your work and try you can get an A or B. Dont buy the book. You do not use it enough to spend $130
I was upset at first cause I signed for Spiceland, but our professor got changed to this guy.He was very boring and made the same lame jokes, however he did give a curve on your final grade.I calculated my final grade and I made a 84, but my final grade was an A, so we are talking about a 6-8 point curve on your final grade.Just do all the e-z work
The case style of the class is very engaging. Don't be a bump on a log, discuss things with him, and get to know him - it will help. Coming to class outside of case days is pointless and I NEVER used the reference book. The course is a good change of pace from other upper lvl acct classes. If you want to talk to him go see him, doesn't answer email
Do not take him for this course ONLY!!! Has not taught intermediate in over 20 years, tends to ramble and get off track, and most importantly this is a lot of material to learn in 5 weeks. Would not advise to take this course in summer school at all!!!!
This class is really hard. I took it online so I basically had to teach my self. There's online homework in connect, a quiz and a project. And 3 exams. The material is hard BUT HIS GRADING SCALE MAKES IT EASY TO PASS! I didn't get above a 70 on any of my exams but I did well on everything else and I got a B in the course
I've had Lukawitz for four classes, including my advanced accounting class this semester, and he is BY FAR my favorite accounting teacher! Of course he isn't easy, but he wants you to actually learn the material. You can email him any time and he'll answer or go by his office. He really helps his students. Wonderful teacher.
Great Professor! Talks kind of fast so you have to keep up. Very funny and uses examples to help you get a better understanding of the material.
good teacher
Great lecturer. Makes accounting come alive. Very helpful. Always in a good mood and eager to help. This is the most positive accounting professor I've come across. Makes me proud to study accounting.
If you attend class on lecture days, he will give you everything you need to complete the cases. Also, when you pick a group, pick it early! The first few groups have the easier cases to present. We didn't use a book.
Class is all about group presentations, but in a good way. He brings a depth to accounting not expected from the class. He is always ready to help. Once I stopped him in hall and he acted like I was the only thing on his mind as he helped me understand something. Later I found out I made him late to an appointment and he never complained.
Try to get a good group. 2 presentations and 10 mini-projects.
This class is not hard, but it requires a lot of work. Expect to do case studies the whole semester and group projects. No book required, and he is a super enthusiastic professor. I enjoyed his teaching just not the case studies!
Good instructor - had him in person and online. Responds to questions promptly. Good videos to explain material. Exams are not just multiple choice from database - each has separate problem set to test concepts and he does allow groups to work together on them. Do the discussions posts - good way to earn extra points. One of the best at UM.
Class is all lecturestudent presentation. Do all critiques and write-ups to max scores - why give away points? Be prepared to put time IN on group presentations - students can be tougher graders than prof. No textbook. Choice of mid term or final - essay format, can be done as group. Expects good work & rewards it. Good class. Would take again.
STEER CLEAR. Only take this class as your last option. HW takes over 4 hours to complete and is HARD. The first deadline was not until the end of October. Exams are impossible. He offers little to no feedback and does not seem to care. I've made straight As and Bs the past 4 years but not this semester thanks to the C I'm getting in this class.
Exams can be difficult(done in groups), if you didn't do the homework, or read your emails. He sent many examples to follow in emails to complete the exams. If you make anything less than a B in the class it's because you didn't try. You got to drop the final exam if you did well on the first 2 exams. I like how the class was structured.
Professor Lukawitz is a very good teacher. There is no textbook, only lectures/powerpoints and the option to take the final if you didn't like your mid-term grade. That said, you are completely doomed if you get some bad apples in your group, as your grade will be affected based on their performance as well. Take the class with a smart friend.
Great Professor, does not give any curves or weighted grades so it is pretty easy to keep up with everything. He does give some chances for a few points of extra credit, but not enough to change your grade very much. Very helpful, emails class notes to everybody after lectures
Honestly one of the worst college classes I have ever taken. Grades cases ridiculously hard with mediocre and picky reasons to why he gives you 70s on each case. Doesn't give full credit on anything, even evaluations. If you don't give the answer he wants or you don't laugh at his sometimes mean jokes, youR grades will reflect it. GOOD LUCK
Completely unorganized for his online course. Everything on the syllabus had the wrong dates and wrong location for tests/quizzes. Things would be listed as ecourseware but would be in mybusinesscourse or elsewhere. Group exam, so good luck getting people to do this on an online course so you will probably end up doing it yourself.
Homework and cases every week. 2 group presentations throughout the semester and 1 final. I wouldn't recommend taking this class unless you enjoy group projects and have the extra time to do all of the work required.
Based on the reviews, he has evolved, in a good way. I took the class online, but he did upload all his in class lectures. I would at least watch the ones going over the projects and mock exams; they helped! You can use notes on the exams, and most all the work had some bonus points available, and he post the correct answers after the due date.
great guy and wants you to succeed. His lectures were hard to pay attention to because he went off into tangents at times, but he tells you what you need to know at the end.
Gives a lot of work, not a bad person but could make the test easier if he wanted too but he choses not too. The majority of the classes is stressed for the whole semester wondering if they are going to pass so you don't actually get to enjoy learning. You probably won't retain any information since he gives so much work. 26 chapters to be exact
This guy makes me want to be a professor. Very good teacher, tests proctored but open notes.
Good professor. Funny and makes lectures not too boring. Light homework and quizzes. Exams are moderately hard but open notes usually. Attendance is mandatory, but is weighed very lightly in the grand total of points. You will do fine if you put in the effort.
Have taken Luka many times..I'd say 7910 is probably the most difficult class he teaches. He is chill. Relatively easy other than the material being rough. Tons of fluff grades to help out if you don't do too hot on the (only 2) exams. Offers chance to take cumulative final to replace first test. do well from start, you'll be fine. No attendance.
Dr. Lukawitz is really nice and a pretty good lecturer. However his class is incredibly disorganized, especially on Canvas. It was difficult to keep track of what assignments were due and he manually enters every grade that you do, even the online assignments. His tests are proctored as well, but they're open note.
Test were all online, class was lecture slides and the occasional group assignment. He explains and walks you through anything you want. Would def recommend taking hime
If you're taking him online beware!!!! its very disorganized (like super) there's 3 exams that are proctored. the assignments on canvas that he post are confusing because they're all over the place. the class itself is not hard just have to do the homework and quizzes but make sure you know when its due because canvas doesn't tell you.
Most unorganized class I have ever been in. You pretty much gotta figure it out on your own. Due dates are not even right nor does he care to fix it.
