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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
