He explained this throughly so the class would understand. Very helpful!

He was very thorough and willing to help out whenever needed!

Great teacher to get you prepaired for 202, but stay on top of your work!

Nice guy. Helped me out a lot. ACC is difficult for me, but I did well.

Very adapt. Veteran. Don't get behind, course snowballs. Can get boring. CPA.

He is very helpful and clear in what he teaches. He looks like Al Gore!

He acts like a robot and has a problem with following along with the book.

Go to class!! Easy to fall behind, hard to catch up. Sexy in an amish sorta way

Great guy, very nice and very interesting. Dont miss a class and pay attention

If you attend class, you'll do fine

Good teacher, if you go to class, and don't fall behind. Very understandable!

Keep up, and he'll be great. Miss out on something, and you're in trouble.

Good Teacher but strict on the rules do not miss a test

Welcome to the real world. Teaches as the subject is practised.

If you plan on taking 202 take neurath for 201, he will prepare you!!

good teacher, tough grader, accounting machine, worth taking just go to class

Good guy but hard grader. VERY helpful. Prepares you for 202.

Very nice guy, tough grader though. Do yourself a favor and go to class

accounting is tough, but this guy is good. very real world

great accounting teacher, I loved him

Great guy, even better if you meet him at a party outside of class...

Thinks he's a tough guy, but fair and does good getting the material across. I'd take him if I were an ACC major, but if you just need the class, take someone else.

A teacher you can actually learn from. Take the class!

I liked his class. He's a good, helpful teacher. Hard material!!! Good teacher. I missed one class (second day of ch. 8) and didn't feel like I was done... but we'll see after finals:0) If you want a challenge and a good class, take this one.

I loved him. He was so nice adn helpful, goto class!

Jimmy Neu. is the best damn instructor that I have ever had. Although this class is extremely challenging, as long as you want to pass the class you will. He won't leave you hanging and is a very nice and caring person towards all of his students.

Nuerath is extremely sharp, and effective. He is actually a practicing CPA, and a prof on the side.

Very awesome professor. Presents the information very clearly and makes sure that everyone understands. Take accounting with him if you can!

Awesome Professor! Makes sure everyone understands the material before going on. Make sure to attend every class and go to the SI sessions! Not hard to come away with an A if you put an effort towards learning the material. Take him for sure!

One of the best Acc teachers. He wants to help at all costs. Make sure you attend class though.

Very helpful and explains everything as many times as needed. Just make sure you dont skip alot.

James is one of the best teachers around. This material is very difficult, but I would not want another prof. teaching it to me! Take James if you really want to learn the material for upcoming accounting classes!

Prof. Neurath is a great proffesor. He expects alot from his students but it'll pay off come exam time. He really helps you prepare for further accounting courses.

awesome teacher..very helpful and motivating..he tries hard with all his students and make sure they do well. if u wanna really learn accounts then take him..excellent teacher..

The best teacher I have had thus far. His 201 course really prepares you for ACC 202. If you actually want to learn, take this class.

Took it last semester! Prof. Neurath was the best! He definitely focuses on teaching those who want to learn. Expects a lot out of students in order to prepare them for business careers. Learned more in his class than any other! I loved it!

James is a great teacher. He knows his stuff and will spend as much time as is needed on any topic. Homework is not graded, but you still should do it. Great guy though. If you fail it is your own fault. He offers a lot of extra help.

He's a great prof and very helpful. The exams and quizzes are challenging. The only other points to earn is participation. So make sure you do it all the time. It plays a big factor in determining your final grade.

Very knowledgeable and helpful, but the material is just flat out hard. He does move kinda fast but if you do the homework, go to SI and actually try, it's easy to pass. Tests and quizes are hard, I got Cs mostly with studying almost every night.

Good professor, hard tests. He is very knowledgable about the course, but the exmas are very hard. The key to a decent grade... GO TO CLASS. Participation is crucial!!

He is a very helpful teacher and willing to spend as much time on a topic possible. Test and Quizzes are hard. Just go to class, do the homework and you should pass.

One of the hardest classes I've ever had. I had to attend every single lecture. He is very good, smart professor but his exams are a nightmare. Very difficult class to pass unless you had accounting in high school.

ACC 201 was new to me. He keeps it very structured so you always know what is going on. He's very serious that's why his tests seem hard, but he really cares and never wants students to feel dumb. I would definately recommend him!

very helpful teacher and very easy to understand... i hate ACC and he made it relatively easy to learn... i think he's one of the better ACC teachers at central

I wish he was teaching 202 next semester I have had a great experience in his class understanding some difficult concepts. I took Acc in high school so it was all review for the first 5 weeks. I would recommend you take him.

He is an excellent teacher. You do have to do your hw, but he doesnt give a ton. If you keep up on your work and participate in class, you will do great. I never knew anything about accounting but after this class i like it (kind of lol)

Excellent teacher best in the department take him if you really want to understand whats going on. Wish he taught all ac****ing classes.

very very helpful. participation is the key in this class. the tests are impossible- don't try to program stuff in your calculator cause he doesn't let you use them! quizes are easy, hw isn't graded, and like i said before participation is counted

Good teacher, he knows what he's talking about but he doesn't go over everything that is on the tests so you need to read the book. Tests are hard.

Hated the class but if you have to take it, take Neurath. He is a good teacher but exams are pretty difficult. Go to class and do homework and you'll do fine. This will probably take much more effort than all of your other classes you've had.

Great guy. Great class. Brilliant, show up to every class prepared and ready to go, study, then study some more and you'll be good. All it takes is time. One of the best in the dept.

He's a hard teacher, but despite being challenging, he is very helpful and will explain the material until it is understood. He cares a lot about his student's success and gives a heads up on things. Don't miss his class and you should be fine.

I don't know what everyone on here is talking about, but this class is god-awful. I don't know a single person who likes it (nor is doing well). He can be a complete a**hole and tell you that you're stupid, his tests are very hard, but he is always available to help you.

Good Teacher. His class is not watered down and it's a no-bull**** attitude. Help is avaiable to everyone if willing to take it. The class is taught with a professional feel which makes it easier to relate in real life. Test are only has hard as you make them to be,that is study and you'll do well

He's very serious about the class & runs it with a very professional attitude. You have to do the work to understand what's going on. Ask questions in class, read the chapters before tests. Take ACC101 before this class & it's much easier!

Great teacher. The thing that stands out to me the most is that he has good character. He is not as concerned about the knowledge as challenging us to be better students and people. This is the class I have the learned the most in. I didn't even like accounting before this class and now I am conside

This class sucks. Having said that, he does the best he can to make it interesting. It's still accounting, he can only do so much. He does do a good job explaining things and will do whatever he can to help students.

I think he's a great teacher. if you are willing to do some homework, you can easily pull off a B in this class. only 2 exams and 5 quizes then the final. Go to class everyday, ask questions and you are guarenteed 20%.

He's the best teacher i've had in ages; He spells out whats expected in the beginning... it's your choice to do the work or not. He's very encouraging and always offers to help. Its obvious that he loves teaching -thats always the best characteristic of a good teacher -i think he's amazing!!!

This guy is a good teacher and knows his stuff. The material is tough and he requires actual effort. He is more then helpful and will gladly answer any questions. Only bad parts are no study guide, no curve, no blackboard, no extra credit, no curve, and there is a cumulative final exam.

Great professor who knows the material and actually practices what he teaches. Being ethical is one of his passions. He wants everyone to do well. Ask questions and he will answer. USE THE BOOK AND YOU WILL DO FINE! He does use it for everything. Great guy, wish I could have him for every class.

Awesome Prof who can actually teach the material. Definitely need the book and will need to read it and do the hw.Class participation is a must.Tests are not too diffucult if you read the chapters, do hw and pay attention and asking ?'s when confused. Wish I could have him for all my bus classes.

This is one of the best prof's at CMU. he makes sure everyone understands the problems. and yea he gives out homework daily but its not due, however it really helps if u do it. tests are hard but if u do the homework and go to class its no problem. oh yea u also get points for showing up and answering question in class. Great teacher, take him.

Well considering he gave me a D+ , thats what I gave him. He is really a smart guy, but the class is so hard. I worked pretty had for the D+..maybe what I learned from him will pay off...while i'm retaking accounting!

Great teacher, but the class is extremely hard, uses the book every day, sometimes concepts are unclear but he'll help to clear them up: my suggestion is to group up with people and get the work done together

this class was not that bad if u just go to class everyday an study before exams an quizs youll pass

By no means a easy teacher. However, very fair and extremely helpful if you are willing to do the work. If you try you have a good chance and earning a good grade...he is not just another lecture hall prof that will give you an easy A....that is not what college is about anyways...you are there to learn

Beginning of the semester is difficult but don't get discouraged. He is extremely helpful and nice as can be as long as you are willing to work. He explains everything with real life examples and if accounting means anything to you you will leave the class happy that you took him as your professor.

If you show up to class and pay attention, this class should be pretty easy. Just make sure you study a lot for each test.

You will learn a lot in class, however almost half the class is failing. The majority of your grade is based off of 3 exams which have 15 questions on each max. He never emails anyone back and does not use blackboard. If you care about your grade, do not take him.

This guy is EXTREMELY helpful; answers all of my questions and clearly and concisely. As long as you aren't a total dipshit, you will do well in his class. Just pay attention and ask lots of questions!

Do not listen to the negative ratings for this professor. He is extremely helpful and will go out of his way to help students. Accounting classes in general are not easy, and this prof does a great job at helping students understand the material. His exams are fair and are somewhat difficult, but you will find that difficulty in all ACC classes.

Professor Neurath is a great professor, but his exams are very tough. He gives strong examples in class and is very helpful in helping you learn the material. He gives you points for asking questions and highly encourages it. Exams and quizzes are impossible to study for though.

Hes a good teacher if you want to be an accountant. He teaches you more than you really need to know if you are any other student. His exams are hard, and he doesn't use black board so you dont know your grade unless you ask. Accounting in general sucks, and he drills it in you. Take at own risk!

Professor Neurath is a great teacher. If you go to class, pay attention, and do the homework then you will be fine. There are no surprises on the exams - everything has been talked about in class.

The class was hard but honestly he was great teacher and used real examples through the semester. If you go to his visit hours he helps you even more including the project. I ended up with a C (I have 2.7current gpa). Great guy to talk to as well. Exams were hard but just study.

I actually loved Neurath. His class is hard and he tells you on the first day that many people will fail. That made me work harder though. He knew everyone's name and is a really nice guy when you get to know him. Go to SI sessions! They help a lot. He let me turn in a project late to his office hours and works with you if you ask for help

My best professor at CMU this semester. Definitely read the book starting day 1, ask questions if you're confused(get points for this), and do the homework. Difficult subject, but definitely a great teacher to have for it! BOOK IS A MUST! I highly recommended this professor!

The guy was a great prof in my opinion. He was crystal clear on everything and was easily accessible. If you go to class and study you should be good but his exams are pretty hard. He is also a really fair professor. My only complaint is that he does not curve at all and it seems like most other ACC profs do.

This class is SO hard. He teaches as if you already know the material and then moves on to the next thing. He doesn't post anything on blackboard and doesn't even give you an email to contact him. The exams are hard and you need to study a lot to do well. I am going to end up retaking this class because had trouble in it. He can be loved or hated.

The class is certainly not easy, but Professor Neurath is very enthusiastic about the subject. His exams are quite difficult and require a lot of studying, as does the class in general. He gives many examples but moves very quickly through the material.

He's a good professor. He's very clear and is always willing to take questions. Simply by preparing for class and paying attention you should be able to get at least a B.

Professor Neurath was really helpful and kind the whole semester - he seems like he really wants his students to do well. The material is tough but he does a great job of explaining everything. He takes attendanceparticipation points which help your grade in the end. He doesn't activate his Blackboard at all, so keep track of your own grade.

I wouldn't expect anything different for an undergraduate accounting class. Focused on teaching us the material that matters and removing material that wouldn't benefit us. Assigns homework but doesn't grade it. The homework is really helpful and practical. He will get touchy if he notices his class isn't doing it, though.

He isn't as hard as people on here are making him out to be. Attendance and participation are factored into your grade. Bring textbook to class! Gives you participation points for asking questions. Exams and quizzes were fair. Go to the SI sessions if you need extra help. He made it very easy to pass if you put in the effort.

Overall easy class. Do the homework and participate and you should be fine. Tests are multiple choice and short answer.

He gives clear expectations and if you just listen to him and ask questions he'll make sure you pass with an A. He's a really cool guy

In James' class expect to show up and take notes everyday. All the test questions are from the lecture and notes. Not too many notes to take though. He's very understandable and goes at a reasonable pace. Would definitely take him for accounting classes. He won't teach you anything you don't need to know for future courses.

He knows what he is talking about. You aren't necessarily required to come to class but he takes attendance and if you do not come you will feel like you fall very far behind. He has office hours and encourages you come if help is needed. He enjoys the subject. Would recommend taking this course with him.

This class has its own study sessions, I ADVISE YOU GO. I HAVE GONE TO EVERY STUDY SESSION AND IM BARELY ABOVE A 75 percent. if you feel like working hard, take this class. Neurath is a pretty cool dude but the class is hard as crap. If you have to take this for your major, then good luck

Neurath is able to breathe some life into a very cut-and-dry subject. Lectures, though certainly not riveting, are mixed in with a touch of his personality and that goes a long way sometimes. Quizzes and exams are tough but fair. He is a very nice man and was accessible outside class. Do your reading!!

He is a good teacher as long as you pay attention and follow along. You have to show up to class and you have to participate in order to get a good grade in the class. He really does know what he is talking about and he is a very nice guy. Try hard in the class and you will do fine.

This is one of those accounting classes that you have to study your butt off and the class averages on tests are 65%. But, Neurath is a very nice guy and has a lot of experiences from his current job that he can use to relate the material to real life. I really respect him and enjoyed learning about tax, even though my GPA will be taking a hit.

The class (ACC 201) is straight forward, assuming you come every day. The content builds on itself. If you miss a class you have to make sure you do over the notes but he will do problems in the near future and if you can do those you will pass with b+ or higher.

Wasn't always clear, quizzes were somewhat challenging, grades based on participation. He answered questions pretty well. Not a bad professor. Ended up curving the grade. If there's an SI, go to the sessions.
