Great teacher. Does really look like a teacher but whatever works I guess.
Great prof. Makes accounting easy to learn.
I hate accounting but the prof is great. The kindest and most helpful prof ever.
he is super hot but the course is really hard, but he makes it worth it!!
Very clear and helpful!
The prof is ok, but the course is fast paced, you dont even have time to review. You have to do lots of work outside class. Exams can be crammed by studying the old ones.
Ok prof
He's cute and unfortunately, accounting is boring, because of both, I fail.
brings humour into a very boring course to begin with. nice guy who is always accessible for help outside of class. the only prof you want to take financial accounting with.
this course is the devil of all accounting courses. study everyday or fail. fortunately, falk makes the class bearable and is very approachable whenever you need help
Very good prof

GOD he's hot! And a great prof too. Too bad the course is so incredibly fast paced and hard.
He is really really hot!
The toughest course in Asper (two mid-terms!), but Jerrod is great! I haven't seen a prof help his students as much a Jerrod; there's always a line waiting to see him. Great guy too. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY, this course is tough!
This guy is amazing!
Great all around prof!!!! which is nice for a change :)
he is cute and dress nice. he explains clearly but less notes. even this course is hard, but he makes it interesting !!!!
Amazing prof! So kind to students, and very very approachable. He cares that you learn the material well and will take the time to help you. He takes a boring subject and makes it interesting.
WORST PROF EVER
He is the hottest guy I have never met. He is the only prof you can choose in the Boring Stupid Accounting course.
Gorgeous prof EVER. Hard to listen to him cuz he`s so pretty.
Very nice professor. Explain things very clearly!
Incredibly helpful, and gorgeous... take as many classes with him as possible. hard to pay attention sometimes because he's so beautiful though...
just had 2 of his lectures, and this guy is really good. he is the best-looking prof I've ever seen in campus, hehe
Very good prof. Was very willing and patient to help with anything you had huge problems with. He's funny and make the course relatable to every day life. Excellent!
He's the best prof you can get for this course and it's the easiest it will get if you choose him since it's a generally hard course. Makes things simple in class and is an all-round nice guy. He's young so it's much easier to establish a rapport with him. If you take 9.110, pick Jarrod Falk.
Great Prof. HOT!!
Great Prof!! God he's so hot. Made every moment of that class enjoyable. Kept you interested at all times. I recommend this prof.
really hot
Great professor! The most accomodating professor if you are the type of student who likes to get extra help. He is always available to you outside of class and in a course as difficult as this one is, it is an extremely important attribute. He spent an hour with me going over ratios! Great guy.
he change my view of accounting, very helpful!!
Great prof, makes it interesting.
I just like his teaching style and his looking of course!
If all prof were like him life would be 100 times better!
Excellent teacher- very helpful and very cute. You can tell he really cares about the students and wants them to do well!!
Falk is a truly awesome guy. He will go out of his way to help you understand something. He makes an extremely difficult course bearable. He is willing to help out with assignments, and is fair in grading. You can tell he places a tremendous amount of effort in teaching WELL.
He's friendly and knows what he's talking about, so hurrah.
Hottest prof in the University. Not a bad teacher either. I haven't missed one class
very cute prof..(:))P it's good that we can see something good in class other than those numbers!!!
Great prof! Explanations are clear. But the exam for this course is very challenging!!! But if you pay very close attention in class and do ALL the homework/readings on a daily basis, you'll do fine.
Good prof but.....God....his tests are extremely hard....
He is a dreamy dream boat. I want his children and I am a man
Very good prof! Highly recommend! But exams are VERY difficult and challenging!
I dont understand the hot comments really i guess i just dont dig mullets. I mean sure business in the front party in the back but....back to what actually matters. He is a really good prof....just dont take this course after lunch too hard to maintain attention. O and since he is a good prof and knows it his tests are very challenging.
falker is one of the best profs out there. easy to listen to and a sharp dresser too..very GQ
regardless of who you take Financial accounting with, you will find the material easy but the exams tough. This is because you really have to spent a lot time learning and practising the all the useless info and techniques that they dish out to you or you will forget them on the exams. Financial Accounting is all amount time the you want to spent
Falk is a very good teacher who is able to get his points across using everyday language. He goes through examples in class and posesses a sense of humour which is a key element of teaching in my book. My only advice is to practice problems over and over until they become second nature. If you want to succeed in accounting hard work MUST be done.
How do I start? Financial Accounting is an awfully tough course, but with Jerrod, everything is better. He is such a nice man, and is patient and always answers students' questions. He is also very good looking, which may infact be a distraction...at least it was for me. Good luck Jerrod, and thanks for being an awesome prof!
He is a great prof that cares about how well students understand the material and thats hard to find
Neutral rating, just reads the notes given, goes too slow through written notes, & too fast through the examples to grasp what's going on right away. Not a sharp dresser, cheap suits with fake jacket pockets, cheap fabric and not at all tailored. Wouldn't say he's bad at teaching, 9.110 in general has a lot of material & is therefore a bit tough.
Jerred, was one of the best professors I had at Asper. He is very clear, organized and helpful if you see him. He is very friendly and understands students problems. He will help you identify your weaknesses with honesty and respect. He helped me understand what I was even good at, I didnt do well in exams, but today thanks to Falk I still understa
-- he's a good prof. i would recommend him. his explanations are clear and i like how he uses real-life situations in his examples. but despite being a good prof., corp fi is a dreadful class that i think the faculty makes it hard just to torture commerce students!!!!!!!!!! geez, as if commerce isn't hard enough! :P
Excellent prof. Notes are very clear and easy to understand. He knows what he is talking about and is very organized. He does as much as possible to ensure that everyone understands material. Course is tough but i recommend this prof to everyone.
Really good notes. His style of teaching is really easy to learn from.
Too busy to help students through many questions when seeing him in person. Arrogant! Doesn't give you any clues on exams for prep help. Must study and practice for this class there is a lot to know. Wish Falk could of done more examples in class rather than doing so much powerpoint slides. Not sure why everyone thinks he's so hot.. not even!
He is the one that makes the exams extremely hard. if you can, take it with someone else. y are people overrating him? i've talked with so many other students, they say the same. he's making acc more harder than it is. I konw people who have taken this class and corp fin at U of W.. they say it's easier.
If you can choose his course, please do so.
Prof is okay. Unfortunately he just reads off the notes from the powerpoint without elaborating on the concepts. Not enough practice examples are done. Would have been better if this was a full course not a half course. At least more information can be absorbed in eight months rather than four months.
Corp Finance is hard, you must keep up with assigned work. Prof goes very fast and there is little time for real explanation. There is too much info for this to be a 3 credit hour course, it should be a 6 credit hour course like it is at U of W.
Cheeky. He likes to make fun of you and make you feel small. No sympathy or help. Don't take Corp Fi with him. Ruthless marker. Arrogant.
Makes the course so much harder than it has to be. Took accounting and corp fi with him and did not understand a thing! Just assumes if he tells you something once you have automatically learned it and never has to discuss it again
What can i say,Acc is not easy. Took for summer and he was the only one teaching. made so many mistakes on our midterms that he regraded it all. never take any class with thim if he is the only one teaching during that time. there is no internal control over exams except for him. since there is no other prof to look over the exam, th exam is unfair
I took intro to accounting with him and wasn't impressed. He's one of those profs who spends more time perfecting the part in his hair than preparation for lectures. He just reads from the lec notes and rarely elaborates. In addition, the comments about his physical appearance are vastly overstated. Avoid his section if possible
ACC1100 is not easy, especially if you took it in first term of U1 like me. Falk was good at explaining the concepts, albeit at times the examples were far too simple compared to the exam. Willing to help during office hours. Do the questions and old exams, and know the notes well. The exam will be hard, but with some work, you will get an A+.
Great prof for ACC1100. DONT listen to the other ppl saying hes not helpful. He was always willing to help me outside of class and go over TONS of questions and concepts. He never once made me feel small or stupid. He actually raised my confidence with school and gives good advice.Highly suggest taking him for ACC1100. The looks are just a bonus!!
WOW BRUTAL MIDTERMS AND FINALS! But he is a GREAT GUY whi cares for his students!!! Highy qualifed
best prof i've had
Really good professor. It helps that he works through examples that would benefit you in studying. Honestly, midterms and finals are NOT that hard.. just start studying in advance and you'll easily do well. Oh and hes SUPERR HOT!!!
All around a great Prof! He teaches the material very clearly and if you have a problem he is more than happy to meet with you to explain the concept again. Professor Falk is also a very nice guy and if you are interested in a future in Finance, he is happy to discuss the field. I would definitely recommend Falk for Corp Fi!
the best prof ever. Knowledgeable. the course is hard, however, you will learn lots from him. jokes are good. overall, he is A++ prof. YOU MUST TAKE ACCT WITH HIM, OR YOU WILL NOT DO GOOD FOR YOUR MAJOR.
Great prof !! One of the best in Asper.
Cool guy, hard course. Prepare to work. He makes the course slightly more bearable.
Outstanding prof! This is one of the hardest courses I've ever taken at the U of M but taking it with him was really worthwhile. Prepare to work hard!
Not a bad guy, however, if you can manage take this course at the U of W. Sonja Carney (Admin f the course) has designed it in such a way such that students have about a 1 in 1000 chance of getting an A+. How you ask? Well, according to this imbacilic new rule you must get 100% on the quizzes or you get 0% ! So if you got 9/10 you got ZERO!
He is definitely one of the good accounting profs. His notes are organized and he's friendly if you ask for help. Make sure you go to class, do your assigned readings and questions and then there will be no surprises on the exams. Be prepared to work really hard.
Has the tendency to make exams harder than they should be/were as compared to other profs. Clear speaker but not great on explaining material. Be prepared to do plenty of studying on your own or in groups.
Had him for ACC1100 and thought he was mediocre at best. He taught FIN2200 the same semester I took it and he made his portion of the exam MUCH more difficult than it needed to be. Definitely made questions that were out to get us. Pazzaglia's questions were challenging but were at least fair. Ended up with a decent enough grade, no thanks to Falk.
This guy sucks! He makes thing way harder than it needs to be and his exams are unbelievably hard. Avoid him if at all costs
This is my favourite prof at the University, I had him for Accounting as well. His lectures made everything make more sense. Ya the exams are hard, but that's because Finance is really hard. If you aren't prepared to work really hard, you shouldn't be taking this class, but if you are this prof will be a great help!
Very energetic guy. He definitely loves what he does. Makes the course more enjoyable. However, he is a very tough marker and likes to try and 'get you' on questions.
A difficult course that doesn't need to be made anymore difficult with his ridiculous exams. Intentionally tries to "trick" students (which doesn't challenge learning, it is just a gimmick) for who knows what reason. He also moves too quickly through a lot of the material. If you can, take the course with someone else.
So bunk..... maybe its the course, maybe its the prof. Classes everything seems to make sense, come exam time, be ready to get crushed. If you dont put in hours and hours of time to this class, your're doing it 2+ times.
Great Prof. One of the best I have had at Asper. Exams are hard, but if you study hard and put the time in all the resources are there for you to get a good grade.
He's probably the hottest prof at u of m.. very good looking indeed. His teaching is alright but whenever he makes the exam the class average drops by 10% or more. Make sure to do the assigned reading and homework and go to ever class.
Great prof. Exams were pretty easy and nearly the same as the old exams but they'll find a way to change it ever so slightly to trick you so watch out. As for Falk, he's probably the best intro acc prof out of the bunch. He explains the questions really well. Oh and he's a really charming guy!
Great prof! Always willing to take time to answer questions. It is a hard course though so don't expect the easiness rating to be high. He is always willing to joke around and can hold your attention.
He. Is. So. Gorgeous. Oh, and he's quite a good prof, as well. The exams aren't SO bad, but you definitely have to make this class a priority. If you do, you should be fine. Especially if you take this class with him - Falk's explataions are perfectly clear. Mmhh.
One of the few professors that I will remember the name of 5 - 10 years from now. He is very helpful with students and he explains the material well. He is also always in a lively mood especially in discussions, lightens up the room, and makes you listen more. Really good prof.
Such a great prof! Made everything so easy to understand. You can tell he enjoys teaching, and will do as much as he can to help you understand the material. Made accounting easier to learn and fun to learn.
WOW he's an amazing prof!!! His notes makes reading the textbook completely useless and in class he's very dynamic and a great dresser ;)
Awesome Prof! I had falk for both corp fi and financial accounting and did great in both! finance requires A LOT of work, but if you put in the effort you will get the grade. overall great prof and I will definitely try to take a course with falk again!
Great prof. Really good-looking too. Didn't like the course, but his enthusiasm made me pay attention in class! With him doing the examples in class, I was able to understand the material better. Get this prof cuz he is one of the best!
Took him for financial accounting in summer session, he was a very helpful proff and always spoke with great enthusiasm i definately recommend him. As for the class its easy until the midterm then after it gets harder. Had 1 midterm (40%) 1 final (60%) DO THE BEST YOU CAN ON THE MIDTERM! final is a killer, one advantage is falk gives bonus marks
Excellent prof. One of the best in Asper, wish he taught more courses.
Took him for Fin. Acc. in the summer. He expects you to read the chapters before the lectures and labs. He explains concepts very clearly. Everything up to midterm was easy, final exam was difficult. I wouldn't say he's an amazing professor, but compared to other profs in Asper, he's well-versed and knowledgeable. He's got some funny stories too.
I'd pay the tuition to attend one of his classes again just to check out his attire. Aside from being a beauty, the man's intelligent and a great lecturer. His exams are difficult but that's just Corp Fi. Keep yourself caught up and you'll do fine. A+ prof!
He makes it seem easy... Too easy for that matter. Exams are way too hard. Every curve-ball concept gets tested, and you get very little time to stop and work answers out. If you don't know the material cold you won't finish the whole thing. Pay attention and do your homework.
Ask questions, want to get involved, and you'll do well! He's funny and very entertaining.
Above average prof, midterm and final exam are ridiculous in comparison to the in class examples. He teaches the fundamentals and tests combinations of random topics. This course should be re-evaluated to improve the 50-50 pass fail.
He is a really good prof and I really enjoyed him. He goes over basic and general idea of concepts in class, so make sure when studying for exams to go over all notes, txtbook examples, homework and old exams. The midterm and final exams are more difficult questions but if you go over all resources you have, you should be ok for the exams.
Pretty difficult course, you go through a lot of content pretty quickly. But, I would definitely recommend taking it with him.
Excellent prof! Very friendly and wants to help you. Clear, concise and fun in class. Do your work though, he expects you to understand the material well.
Very entertaining and makes class interesting but only touches on basic concepts. TONS of outside of class work to be done. Exams are ridiculous compared to other classes. Expects you to know the topics inside and out. Only attending classes will not provide you with enough information to pass the course.
Falk is very clear and gives good lectures, he really knows what he is talking about.
I really enjoyed this class and this professor explanations are clear and keeps you interested in the concepts you learn. There is one quiz, midterm, two group assignments and a final. The group assignments are quick and easy. The exams are challenging but fair. If you study all notes and all recommended textbook questions, you will do good.
I was terrified to take this class but Jerrod is an incredible instructor! The assignments are great practice. Also, his video conferences are super helpful so make sure you attend those. The sample exams have questions with the same concepts as those on the exams. I regret taking this online only because I would have really enjoyed his lectures.
Energetic and fun lecture. Hard grader though
Falk is the man, the best Finance professor at U of M. His course is extremely challenging, but that is due to the material. His tests are hard, if you expect to get above a B+ then you really need to work VERY hard for it. I took it online, I do not recommend anyone else do this.
