I can't recommended him after taking his 3120 class. Oversimplifies simple concepts and the tests only vaguely resemble the many homework problems he assigns. And by vaguely, I mean you can do the assigned problems backwards and forwards, multiple times but good luck on the test problems. Take Stanley or really anyone else.

I thought Professor Brandon was hard until I took a course with Professor Jones. Look, the subject matter is hard. And ending with cash flow statements is really overwhelming. But, if you pay attention, take lots of notes using his course packet, you'll have all you need. Much like Interm. I, CNOW can be really frustrating, but it helps. Do them.

Be prepared to study, but he is an amazing professor that truly wants you to succeed. If you do your part as a student, he will do his as a professor. Study and do what he tells you and you will be successful.

He is a great teacher and is very helpful in explaining and discussing a difficult class. He has 4 tests and a final and some homework throughout the semester. He is always open to meeting with you to explain difficult topics. This class takes a lot of studying and effort to get your desired grade. Definitely recommend taking him!

Professor Jones is a great professor for a class that is incredibly difficult. He wrote the book so he is incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the class. He is always open to questions and will try to help you however possible. Study as much as you can and get ahead right at the start.

Intermediate Accounting 1 is a very hard class but Dr. Jones makes it manageable and fun. I highly recommend taking him because he is one of the coauthors of the textbook and really knows what he is talking about. Overall, he is a great teacher.

Intermediate is no joke, it's one of if not the hardest class in business, especially finance. If you have to take it, I would definitely recommend taking Jefferson. If you use the "email professor" button, he explains the question very well and also answers in a timely manner. The class itself is hard, but Jefferson makes it manageable.

Don't get behind and don't skip class. Find a group to study with well in advance for tests. 5 tests, 4 regular and 1 cumulative final as well as homework grade so exams are important. If you know the homework you'll be good, he is super understanding and wants to help so reach out if you're struggling. Co-wrote the book so he knows it well.

Dr. Jones is possibly one of the best professors I have ever had. Intermediate is extremely hard, and he knows that. However, being a co-author of the textbook, he has immense knowledge of the topics discussed in class and is very helpful when you ask questions. His exams are no joke and this class is the first B I have ever had, so study hard.

This class is the hardest class I've ever had. There is a ridiculous amount of material on each test. The other teacher curves so if you want a guaranteed A or B, don't take this class. If you want to learn the material Dr. Jones is the way to go. You have to study hard and it stinks that there is zero curve ever or extra credit opportunity

The homework and EC is what saved my grade, this was a tough class, but it is very do-able with Prof Jones. 5 exams, 4 regular and the final (not cumulative). Love him!!

My genuine advice for the class content is to spend a LOT of time to understand everything. Memorization will only get you so far other than for basic terminology. If he says something is important, trust him. If you struggle with fast-paced courses, use his lecture recordings to help. Professor Jones is amazing. Reach out; he's your best resource!

Jones is such a great guy! He really wants to see you succeed but starts to be tougher on you for Intermediate II. Attendance isn't mandatory and he posts lectures on panopto but I wouldn't recommend skipping class because it is fast-paced. Tests are difficult but fair for the caliber of the class. Study his course packet and you'll do fine.

Jeff is awesome! Took him in Spring of 2024. Got a 100 on the first test and a 68 on the second, so I met with him and ended with a 95 in the class. He is busy with Intermediate students, so his office hours are often booked; however, he is very helpful when you do meet with him. Taking him for Intermediate and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Professor Jones is very good at what he does and makes sure to explain things thoroughly. The content itself is difficult but if you're willing to put in effort and study, you will do fine. Make sure you go to class otherwise, you will be very confused. Don't worry too much about studying the homework (the packet/panopto is way more helpful).

This is a really hard class no matter what professor you take. His lectures are hard to follow along unless you read ahead. I suggest you read the textbook, go to si sessions, and study hard and you can get an A. He gives a lot of extra credit and sometimes for people who show up to class.

The class is honestly really hard, but he does a good job trying to explain everything. I am a high A's, 4.0 student and will be getting a low B in the class, but that is expected for IM.

Jones is the best ACCT 5110 professor- he does a great job of explaining concepts that have never made sense to me before. Intermediate is RIGOROUS. I made As on all the exams, so this class is possible, but you have to put in the work. I have never studied this hard for a class but it was worth it. EARLY (like a week in advance minimum) AND OFTEN

Dr. Jones is very smart but no matter what anyone tells you, he is not a great teacher and you should definitely take someone else for Intermediate. He wrote the book which is why all these kids think he's the best. They buy into the propaganda. Tests are entirely too difficult. Nice enough guy, but you should try to take someone else. .

He travels every weekend and takes a while to answer questions, office hours are always changing. The lectures are never as good as his videos he gets off topic so easily. He would not let anyone view their final exam because he is apart of gradaution commitee and did not have the time. He is too busy for what he teaches. Ok teacher with a big ego

Start the homework early and practice often is key in this class. You need to watch out for the fourth exam it is harder then the others. However, he is very helpful and has course videos that go with the packet for extra help. Fill out the packet multiple times to prepare for the exams.
