Varga does teach fast, but hes very motivational. If you attend/practice/read, you will pass. He does look onto favorite students first, but you can easily be one if you volunteer answers here and there (right/wrong). I heard he was hard, but i think previous comments are unfair. This coming from a C TO C+ student. By far, my favorite prof.

Not a terrible professor. He is very knowledgeable, but the fairness of his tests is questionable. His questions are not based on what is in the textbook. I know this because I did every problem in the book and it did not prepare me for what was on the exam. The problems we take up in class don't really prepare us either. It's too bad really.

John Varga is great. He can teach you the old and new ways of accounting with an easy method or hard method, ultimately its up to you to choose. There's no doubt that his tests are difficult, he stands by in providing challenging questions to make you think. There are no favourites I want to make that clear, just people who are willing to learn.

his lectures aren't structured,has an arbitrary schedule to follow which causes him to rush through important concepts and refuse to go over them for the sake of time. The lectures will consist of solely doing journal entries and calculations and then the exams will have 80% of the marks doing financial statements which you havent practiced at all

Had to take this course twice and yet failed. The question papers are same every semester, only the values change. I feel the only good reviews are given by the professor himself. I'd not suggest anyone to take him. It's not challenging to pass it is almost impossible. He won't give marks for the assignments. If you do fine 4, if really good then 6

John is the perfect definition of how worst could be the professor. Stubborn and not answering emails are old stuff let me tell you new. Still I don't know how much is scored in final exam, nothing is on DTL or stu view. The day he completed his last chapter next class it was an exam for 180.he takes exam from his own work not from wille book.

If you really want to see where you truly stand by learning everything by yourself. He is not going to teach anything; he is only going to read those answers. Basically, reading slides and then earning money. Many of my friends had their goti in their mouth but one of our friends didn't survive this course. Consider other options please.!!!!!!!!

Would take again

It's a tough class, but he gave tips on which questions would be on the tests and finals during his class. Working on those questions helped me to pass. I would say at least he did teach something, unlike other professors who don't teach anything but test you or ask you to present it.

He is a racist, If you are person with colour, forget about passing his subjects. He will fail you again and again and again and intentionally will give you 1 out of 30 in assignments even though you did it with a lot of hard work, If you are a white student, without submitting your assignments you will get full marks.

Worst professor ever. If there is an option to take an alternative professor please ho for them. Don't even think of passing his course. He wants students to fail so that he can secure his job. Never hives feedback and don't even try to help students to pass the course.

Had plenty of terrible professor during my lifetime and this one is a high contender for being the worst teacher i`ve ever had. Not only does he not care about his students, but also his jokes are not funny nor appropriate for a class environment. Too many comments that made me and other students uncomfortable, especially towards female students.

No idea how George Brown still has this professor. There is no integrity, no professionalism, and absolutely no understanding of what the Canadian academic culture expects from an instructor.

15-20 questions per chapter, 3-4 chapters per test; good luck internalizing all that on the tests he doesn't properly prepare students for. Sometimes he lacks patience to help someone who genuinely needs help with certain concepts, but he blatantly remarks "you should already know this!" He makes jokes that feel forced and tiring to watch.

So,Being very frank with y'all,this professor is not worth wasting your time on. He won't pass you in one go, the exams are so difficult.He'll usually teach about 15-20 questions per chapter and then put an exam out of the problem questions.The questions are similar to the exam but they still have a lot of differences. Best to do? Find old exams.
