It's easy to pass this class if you are willing to go to every single class because there are daily quizzes (which make up 26% of the course grade). There were only two exams and no final. But, the tests were pretty tough. You have to know what's going on in the class to pass the tests. Pay attention to the in-class problems and READ THE TEXTBOOK!

If you're taking him for Managerial Acct you need to do WELL on your quizzes. They're the difference between pass and fail. It's a hard class but getting an A is achievable if you study and get full credit on all homework, attendance, and reading quizzes, which isn't that hard. It's mainly just being disciplined and not missing them.

Although he is a hard ass, Dulin is a good teacher. He uses the "been there done that" mentality a lot, but he knows what he is talking about and helps you out with the special quiz and quiz bonuses. If you read the book and study the book powerpoints for the tests, you'll be fine. Also, he uses test banks for the quizzes and tests.

Prof. Dulin is really invested in his classes and is always available to meet after class. Attendance is not mandatory but there are pop quizzes at the end of each lecture always related to what he taught that day. He also goes over each homework in class so it's hard to miss points there. Exams are easier than practice exams. Easy to get an A.

He cares and knows a lot about accounting, but he is almost too knowledgable for his own good. If you do not read the textbook before class you will be lost as he zooms through our in class assignments. On the first day of class he said "You learn accounting by teaching yourself" which is exactly what I was forced to do in this class.

Dulin is a great professor and I really liked the class. He assigns work every week and grades attendance. He has the usually 4 exam semester. I made the mistake of thinking I could not study before the exams and it came back to bite me. He brings in companies from the industry almost every week and is helpful if you need help outside of class.

I really like Dulin. Short homeworks, extra credit assignments, and in class work boost your grade. Take the practice tests and you will be fine on exams. Most people have an A or B. He truly wants you to succeed after his class, so he can be tough, but if you work hard and don't show up late you will be perfectly fine.

Professor Dulin really does care about accounting but his method of teaching it is tough. We do about 20 practice problems every class and his only way of teaching is doing it himself on a monitor. Its hard to keep up with his steps because its usually our first time seeing that problem. I taught myself, definitely not the best teacher I've had.

Dulin has a passion for accounting and seems to care, however, his lectures are extremely difficult to keep up with. Highly suggest starting 405 tutoring sessions at the beginning of the semester.

Professor Dulin is a very effective teacher and good at his job, but the material is tough if you don't love accounting. I didn't study hard for the first test and failed, but was well above the average on test 2 & test 3 and ended up doing fine in the class. The only way to really be successful is to study for the exams at least a week in advance.

Professor Dulin was often rude to students, talking bad about them once they left the class or showed up late. He made the tests very difficult in comparison to the class.

Dulin is a great person, but his lectures are not extremely helpful. If you treat the readings and homework as opportunities to practice and learn, you should do fine.
