Great professor! Dynamic and engaging. I suck at actg and had to take 211 twice. I got an A in his class. Difficult tests but you will pass if you do the work. He does not fail anyone.

While he did make Accounting easy to understand, he was very unorganized. When he tried to do an example in class he usually made up the numbers on the spot and made mistakes so we couldn't follow it. Or the examples didn't match the solutions because they are similar with random numbers changed. But a good class to take for non-accounting majors

gives many sample problems, but they're time consuming. He's very helpful, but he talks really fast and goes at a face pace. His explanations may be confusing. Really understanding and stays on task. However, he may be unorganized, but approachable.

Very very helpful teacher. Gives lots of examples in class, tells you exactly what is going to be on the test and sticks to it. No surprises. He drops your lowest quiz score. A little unorganized during class but overall a great guy.

This teacher seems to care too much about students learning rather than just giving them a free pass. His approach does have flaws, but it's been effective for me. He goes over many problems in class. Seems always willing to help. Sets very clear expectations for exams and provides many practice examples.

He genuinely cares about the class and the students. A great professor, however if you don't do your homework or zone out in class it would be easy to get lost, however that is true with any accounting course...

A great accounting teacher. yes, attendance is mandatory but i went to every class and didnt have to really study besides doing that. Go to class, do the homework (which doesnt take long) and there really isnt much studying needed to be done. He has a lot of energy and is very engaging. Makes class time worth it.HIghly recommended

He is a great teacher. He sincerely wants you to do good in the class. His approach does have flaws but he has been in the field and knows what is important and wants his students to know it as well. Great teacher.

He was a great teacher and was very helpful if you did not understand the material. He wants everyone to succeed.

All time favorite prof. Great guy, really puts in the time to help you understand the material. Very approachable. Tests are exactly what he say so if you put in the time there is no reason you shouldn't do good. Definitely recommend him!

Great guy, great personality, he makes accounting as interesting as it can be however he can be pretty un organized at times.

Favorite professor ever! Very helpful,down to earth, wants you to succeed.

Great Professor! Very entertaining in class and a real genuine guy. He gives you everything you need to succeed. Just use his in class exercises and do not focus completely on his practice Tests he posts. the tests will often consist of problems drawn directly from the In class problems.

One of the best teachers at UO. Accounting still sucks but he makes it at least interesting.

He's a great professor, he made accounting not that completed easier to understand

you get what you put in. he gives you everything you need to do well and it's up to you whether or not to use it! i thought he was a great professor, makes mistakes in class which was a tad frustrating but if you make a small mistake on a test he takes off only that point, even if that one mistake caused other mistakes. i think he's fair and helpfu

Pay attention and go to class and you will get an A :)

He's a really nice guy, very approachable and wants to help, but I just couldn't really learn under his style. He makes a lot of mistakes and I personally got more confused listening to his lectures than reading the book. His tests are also very tricky and long, which I didn't like because I was rushing throughout them and made dumb mistakes.

Best teacher ever! He is really smart, patient, and funny.

Great guy, pretty good teacher. He is very funny and approachable and clearly a family man, but pretty disorganized. I loved that he brought handouts to class and he pretty much tells you exactly what will be on the exams. Not great with blackboard and makes small mistakes frequently. Nonetheless, I'd still recommend him.

He brings handouts to all the classes which makes taking helpful notes really easy. Tells you what to study for tests, and posts a lot of practice exams on blackboard. Homework is based on completion for the most part. If you go to class and pay attention you should do pretty well in the class.

Joel is one of the best professors I've had so far. He is very straight forward with his expectations of the class but that just motivates students to work hard. He teaches by doing a ton of example problems in class. I never even touched the book! He moves pretty fast though, so be prepared to go to office hours. Very approachable. Love him!

He realizes he makes mistakes and then he fixes them anyway. It is a good idea to read the book along with attending lectures to fully understand the topics in this course.

Good teacher. Teaches through examples in class. If you practice the examples he gives you over and over you will do well on exams! I didn't once use the actg. book... definitely don't need it. Would highly recommend taking actg 213 with Joel.

Joel is an amazing teacher, but his style is definitely unique. Come prepared to think quickly and learn through examples, not to blindly copy down PowerPoint slides. He's fun, fair, and very honest/frank about everything, which can be hilarious.

Prof. Sneed teaches everything himself through lectures and examples and he then he tests you on that information; which is great. My only critique is that he can be a little all over the place at times. Take GOOD notes and practice, practice, practice and you will do well.

Great guy, although a little bit unorganized. Everything you need to know for the tests he teaches you through lecture and doing examples. Take Good notes and practice all the time, way more than you think is needed even, and you will be surprised at how well you will do. That is how straight forward his class was.

Joel is a great guy and is honest. His tests are very straight forward. People who use the excuse about him being messy need to grow up. His class is easy if you try just like any class. Don't be upset with results you don't get from effort you don't give.

Professor Sneed genuinely cares about his students. His lectures can be fast paced, but he is more than willing to answer questions. He is extremely accessible to students and I highly recommend using his office hours.

Read the text in advance like he actually assigns and you'll be fine. He goes through his lectures with you with pen and paper so he messes up sometimes but don't worry about that. He is just trying to vibe with you and relate.

Joel knows a lot and goes a little fast in lectures. He gives practice exams before every test and if you do those and know how to do them you will get a B or better in the class. Like all accounting classes, your grade really depends on the effort you put in.

He is a funny and helpful instructor. Love his classes.

The best accounting professor I have had at the university. He is easy to understand and actually cares about the material and the students. It's not the easiest class ever, but he makes it clear what students need to do in order to be successful.

Very nice and easy to understand

Professor Sneed is one of my favorite professors that I've had this year. He's really helpful and tends to give to a lot of worksheets to help you actually practice what you've learned. My class generally had a somewhat higher average on the midterms and I scored above average on the tests. Definitely take Professor Sneed if you can!

He utilized the online Connect program which was extremely helpful. HW done online, except first 3 also handed in. He knows what he's talking about. Prepares you for exams and reviews every quiz and exam after. You learn a lot and he cares about his students being successful! I'll take classes from him anytime I can.

I really enjoyed Joel's teaching style. He works through problems in class which keeps me engaged. He's energetic and caring and while the class is very challenging he try's to make things understandable and applied.

Joel is very accommodating, midway through the term he wanted everyone to give him feedback on what he could do to improve. He's also very helpful in office hours. It's a difficult class, but he's very lenient with giving partial credit on everything, and I learned a ton in his class.

A great introduction to the intermediate sequence. A lot of studying is required, but Joel really wants to do best by his students and welcomes any and all questions we have, especially before exams.

I really enjoyed taking his class! I took his class online, and the class structure was perfectly organized and easy to follow along with. He was always very approachable and helpful with accommodating with my test-taking schedule. He offered me solid career advice, and is one of my favorite professors because he helped me excel in a hard class.

Joel Sneed was a great professor. He always did so many example problems in class which is something I wish more professors would do. It's clear that he cares about his students success. He was always happy to help when I would go in for office hours and wanted to make sure you fully understood the material. His tests were challenging but fair.

He's willing to help if you go to his office hours. Course is fairly difficult since it's a gatekeeper for the accounting major.

Great teacher. Joel really cares about his student's success and you can see that demonstrated in his videos posted online. Definitely recommend seeing him during office hours as you're guaranteed a helpful response to all inquires--as he can be slow on email responses. This is a hard class, but that's expected due to its necessity to the major.

At first, I think his teaching style is confusing to a lot of people. But, give it some time. If you pay attention and come to class, you will come to realize that Professor Sneed is very helpful on exams and homework. The work that you do in class is very similar to exams. Also, he is very helpful in office hours. Would highly recommend his class

Prof Sneed is a good professor, and teaches a good class. The material is hard, so if you miss a lecture, you can easily fall behind. Really funny guy in class, and always available for office hours and lending a hand. Tough class, so make sure you don't miss the lectures.

Joel was a great professor. Class is pretty hard, and you can't really miss lectures. Mr. sneed is a really nice guy outside of class. Not too much homework at all, and attendance is not counted. Big tests though

Joel gets a lot of hate, which is not always valid. He definitely goes very fast and the lecture is basically just practice problems, but he does care and wants you to learn. If you go to lecture and work hard the class is very manageable. I liked him, I would 100% take another accounting class if he was teaching it.

One of toughest classes at UO, and I reccomend taking this class immediately following 211. Definately a class where you can't miss a lecture or you will fall behind, so dont miss class, despite attendance not being mandatory. There is a curb at the end of the class, and most of the grade is test scores.

Pretty hard class but curves on the test are nice. Helpful in office hours, but you definately dont want to miss a lecture in this class, even though attendance doesn't count towards the grade.

I love Joel, as a person, friend, mentor, he truly is one of a kind. Yes, during his lectures he will get problems wrong and go on the occasional tangent. But he always comes with high energy and a willingness to teach. He is always open for criticism or to explain topics. Show up, go talk to him, you will do just fine. Seriously great guy.

I took Joel's class, and overall, it was a good experience. While he can sometimes be slow to reply to emails and a bit disorganized, he always makes time to meet with students in person and assist them with personal issues one-on-one. I liked Mr. Sneed; he was very flexible about scheduling exams on days that worked better for me.
