He gets upset if you miss class. Do the H problems will get a B at least.

If he does not like you, you are not getting an 'A'

Very fair and knows what he's talking about.

His Curb is great! He's very strict in class. Don't even think about talking. Absolutely no cell phones, he'll kick you out. Overall an intelligent professor that knows his accounting.

Lectures a bit on factual stories as to why certain things are implemented to make understanding accounting a mess.It is interesting stuff to know but not tested on.He still tells you what you need to know for the test regardless. Good professor overall.

Tests are hard, especially because no calculators allowed. Doesnt return your tests. Uses his own examples in addition to the book, and includes problems on the test that are similar.

On the 1st day I heard there was no calculator, scantron write ins and thought oh no I'm going to fail! But I passed (thanks to his surprise curve he doesn't tell you about). Now I can calculate long division in my head fast!

Dr. Hirsch is one of the knowledgable professors for Acct. The tests are kind of challenging but are not irrelevant to what he covers in class. He is very helpful and friendly too. I took him for both 301A and B, and found him to be of my expectations.

Very clear on what he want students to know. Very helpful, however, the tests are a little bit challanging (but not impossible). Take this prof. if you want to learn something

one of the best teachers in the world. take his class you'll learn a lot.

An excellent professor. Intelligent; knowledgeable, and helpful. Even though the students ask him stupid questions, he never laughs at them. He is the most patient professor I’ve met. He likes to help and encourage student to learn more. He is a great

Great professor in all aspects! Lectures are interesting while clear and direct. Exams are relevant to topics discussed in class. He is always pleasant when I visit him at his office for homework questions.Overall, he's the best Accounting professor had

Good class for Accounting majors. Must attend class pay attention and do homework at least twice. Test are difficult and mistakes or errors not known. No need for calculator on test? Keep up with class examples and homework discussed in class. Don't forget to visit him during office hours!

Good Teacher! Take REALLY good notes and never miss a class. His tests are outlines of his lecture notes. If you take excellent notes and come to class EVERY meeting you will be fine. Don't worry about his no calculator rule. He won't ask any heavy calculations on a test.

If you are a aggresive studying student, Dr.Hirsch will be one teacher you must to take. Students who catch up each single class and study hard before the exam., then they will be getting at least B. Dr. Hirsch will not disappoint the students if they really study. Good luck.

Don't need to ever open textbook or do any homework. Just show up to class and take good notes. Review these notes well for the exams and you will be fine. The tests are very difficult. I got 40's on all of them, yet with his curve, I finished with a B. Take him.

Very good teacher.Curve is very great.Take a good notes, go to his office make sure he recognizes you n show him your efforts then you will be fine.He's really helpful too.A++++

He's very clear on his notes. come to class, take good notes and study & understand these notes before the exam. and you should get at least a B. he has a really big curve. always try to pass students and always helpful. all his exams are based from the notes. take him..

I took him for both class 301A&B. He's an outstanding proffessor. He's very nice and very helpful. To become an A student in his class, you must take a good note, rewrite the note as much as you can,& you must be study hard but in the RIGHT way. The subjects that he teaches are selected and reliable. Tests are challenge and competitive. Take him.

He's a pretty diffcult professor. Explains things in ways you wouldn't really approach it. Great teacher, if You take him for A, you might as well take him for B. From what I've heard, his approach is a bit easier than the other professors. Nice curve, one project (piece of cake), and three very hard tests. Make sure you study your notes.

Dr. Hirsch is a great teacher and a fair grader. For both 301A and 301B, he stayed close to his notes in class and was very helpful during officer hours. His officer hours act as study sessions for students! Make sure you know the notes by heart and go to his study sessions!

ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS UNDERSTAND HOW TO TAKE THIS GUY'S TESTS. HIS TEST ARE 80% BASED ON HIS LECTURE NOTES. SO TAKE VERY GOOD NOTES AND ATTEND EVERY CLASS! TO STUDY FOR HIS TESTS, STUDENTS SHOULD HAMMER ON HIS LECTURE NOTES AND GO TO THE TEXT FOR ANY OTHER INQUIRIES. HE'S ALSO VERY HELPFUL, SO GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH AND USE HIS OH's

Will not allow use of calculator. Felt the finals was more an elementary math class with all the manual calculations! Misses the required elements of an Accounting class - understanding concepts and application; not math skills please. Hope he realizes that he's testing the wrong skill set and allow the use of the calculator in future A/g classes.

He is a good teacher. The subject is not easy so you must study. Study only from his notes to prepare for exams, don't bother to brainstorm w/ the book. His exams are relevant to the notes, but careful with the wordings. Good luck. Highly recommended.

DR. HIRSCH IS VERY KIND, POLITE AND GOOD TEACHER. HIS EXAMS ARE EXACTLY LIKE HIS NOTES EXCEPT NO CALCULATOR ALLOWED. I HAD DIFFICULTY WITHOUT THE CALCULATOR, I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT BUT SOMETIMES WE GET STUCK WITH SIMPLE CALCULATIONS. YOU IF ARE LACKING MATH(DIVISION WITH LONG DIGITS) AVOID HIM.

Decent teacher. Very anal but clear in his lectures. Tests are tough but he curves. Never bought the book, just used his in class examples although I'd recommend to get it just in case. Go to class because he takes roll.

Great Teacher. Always willing to help in his office hours. 301a is the class that separates the Accounting majors from the wannabes. If you can handle this class and do well, then you picked the right major. If not, best of luck elsewhere. A's are definately possible, just put the time in! Study, study, study the notes.

Allows calculator in his Spring06 class. Beware, exams though multiple choice are set to confuse u! Has up to 10 choices for answers! So know your stuff and try not to look at answers. If u are sure, write answer separately on other page of scantron: Q#, answer.

I have taken 301a and 301b with this professor. although he did not allow the calculator, he is a genrous grader. In my opnion he is very professional and very polite. He explains well and above all he understands that the material is very difficult. I have courage and yet I took him for the 301b and he did allow the calculator however, his exams a

I think he is generous teacher and very polite.

THE best accounting teacher @ Fullerton. Highly recommended. It's a tough class but the teacher is extremelyyyyy helpful and polite.

I dont think Dr. Hirsch favors any student. He is a fair and polite teacher. He knows who the hard-working students are. He just gives more attention to them. What teacher doesnt give more attention to students who are trying harder in his class?

His class is just a mind game. You have to pay attention, take good notes, talk to him, participate and laugh at his jokes. It helps to be a girl, but he is overall a decent teacher who gives C's to almost anyone.

Nice guy and easy to talk to. Very helpul professor. Exams are directly from lecture and attendance taken. Test are part multiple choice. Very fair grader! Take him for 301 A & B he is great! Don't missed class and hard-working, you will get A or B, not C.

I took him 2 years ago. He didn't allow calculators because he caught a couple students cheating. Acctg is not an easy subject, esp. Acctg 301A but he tries to make it understandable. Just do your homework & take advantage of his office hours. I think he's easier on grading once he gets to know you & sees that you're making an effort to do well.

Students who had accouting courses years back should try Dr. Hirsch. He spends first couple weeks reviewing introductory accounting materials. Test are difficult(except exam 2) because the sheer amount of materials, but his personal grading method offsets that difficulty. Unparallel dedication to help students during office hours.

Take notes, master the examples he does in class and you will get an A.

Tough but fair and funny. He will trick you on the test if you dont READ the question slowly a couple times. Practice his examples and you will get an A. good Curving. Taking for 301B currently and dont know how I did yet, but back him either way. his 301B tests a lot harder than A, but the material is as well. dont be scared, just go to class!

i took both Acct 301A and B with Hirsch. He is a really nice guy who at least tries to be funny. His class is somewhat boring but you must go because he takes attendance. His tests are mainly based off class lectures so take good notes. The book won't help much alone, go to class to understand his examples. Study class examples and youll be fine

If you are taking his class make sure to take good notes in class. Notes are the key to passing this class. Do all examples in class over and over until you understand how he explained in class. Assigns homework related to examples, hw a little helpful. Can be boring and confusing, but make sure to listen.. Easy because you don't have to read.

he's a nice professor, his tests are very challenging as they'r supposed to be. im glad i took his classes, seem like the hardest so far..goodluck

Go to class and take a good note is the most important in his class. 100% test questions are the material that cover in class. Master the note. Be careful his tests are trick!!!!!!!!

Alright CSUF students. Here's my opinion. From the view of an average student, not the nerd! Hirsh Acct301B requires some work and effort. He's really nice, and has office hours available. Go early, specially during exams; get his solutions manual, do some HW, review your exams, form a study group, ask questions in class; = guaranteed B

All the test material come from his lectures. He tends to make mistakes when putting material on the board, so be careful. It's important to redo all of the lecture notes. I studied extremely hard for his tests and still got a "B". Tough class

don't do the homework...just study everything he went over in the lecture!!

He likes to move table, chairs and lecture stand around. It's really annoying..since it makes loud noise.

He's not bad at all. You have to discipline yourself to go over his examples repeatedly and study them! Go to his office hours when possible. when he sees you trying, he'll help you out more and it will help your grade! I did poorly on the first 2 exams and I'm sure I did average on the final and ended up with a B for the class!

Tough class but prof, Hirsch is a great teacher. Real nice guy and always willing to go over problems again if you ask. All the test problems are from class lectures so you have to show up!

I always like him even though i didn't do well in both 301A & B. He knows A LOT in accounting field and knows how to teach. And today, I just found out that HE IS SUPER COOL because he is a professional in photography! He even developed his own films. He has a Rolleiflex medium format camera, so that tells everything how good and professional he is

Professor Hirsch was really helpful professor. I was failing his 301A class, but he encouraged me to stay and study his lecture note hard without giving up till final. I saw many students studied hard his final with hope. I am soo happy to pass this class.

Great professor!!! He knows extremely well in acct, knows how to teach. Friendly/ approachable. For those who wrote bad things about him need to re-think if you've studied??! Don't blame on him for the work that you didn't do.

Be fair, people. He is a GREAT prof. Exams are not easy, but please ask yourself if you really study or not! Acct is something that you have to understand the material throughly and know how the system works! I didn't do well in class, but I never complain. Cos I know I didn't study enough. I admired him being a photographer becos he never shows of

Excellent professor. For those complaining, how much did you study? did you go to office hours for help? This is an extremely difficult subject and Hirsch covers almost everything you need for the CPA exam. He is extremely helpful if you just make an effort!

Subject matters are hard but the instructor is very helpful if you show your effort of learning and ask questions in his office hours. Take good notes and clearly understand every number in your notes. Average grade is usualy lower than expected but he curves. Learn a lot from his classes 301 A&B

Hirsch is smart and knows his subject well. The difficulty was figuring out his notes at home. It was hard to see how he presented material in class as he bounces around a lot. Tests are a repeat of in class examples. Lastly his handwriting is horrible so sit in the front.

Projessor Hirsch is the best professor i ever had! I had him in both ACCT 301A and 301B! He's smart and he knows his materials well; plus he loves teaching and having students come in his office hr. He curves the grades very generously! If you have a D range score, BUT IF you SHOW your effort, then your likely to pass! Drop in his office hr often!

Go to his office hours, and you will do fine.

Professor Hirsch is one of the most understanding accounting professors I've had. He tries really hard to help students learn the material. He takes information from the book and makes it his own way so students will understand. I prefer it like that. Take really good notes or you won't know what's on the exams.

The best way to learn for his class is to meet with classmates and go over his notes. He will help you pass the class if you are committed enough.

Best professor I had.
