He is very good professor. His tests are multiple choices. He gives the test every chapter. Though he teaches a lot of theories, it is important for our foundation. He is CUTE.
He is a nice professor. Nice and clear lectures. However, he's tests are tough, cover everything in the chapter, both concept and calculations. They are all Multiple Choice. Overall, you can learn a lot of things in his class. Recomment for hard working accounting major students.
You need to study on your own to pass the class. You have to read your text book. Not everything on his exams are taken up in class. Not your ideal professor, who should be approachable and makes learning easy, interesting and fun for students.
Make sure u read every chapter and u can do math.
Good Professor! Exams are hard, need to know everything from each chapter. if u want to learn, take him, he's NOT an easy A. need to work hard.
Good Prof. to take if your major is acc.He is tough but you learn. He is a very serious Prof. no time to joke. For the ladies he is cute and sexy!!!!Just remember "the difference between an A & B, B & C, C & D is your knowledge on Receivables"
He is brilliant,excellent Prof.Don't let this personality scare you.he is quite funny & kool if you really get his sarcastic remarks. Teaches "the material NOT the test," meaning if you do the work in class & read the text you'll do well, that's what got me my "A" Look out for his Baruch advise..
He can really teach, he demonstrates very well. There's hw but he doesn't collect, only go over during class. Make sure you get the text and study every chapter.
He's a good professor but tests are hard. Lecture are clear and helpful. if u want to learn, take him! however, u have to read the book and know everything from the book!!
He is an ok prof just don't walk pass him, chew gum or let your cell phone go off in class because he takes off points for that.
He is a tough but helpful professor. everything he explains is so clear and sticks to the mind. over run, you will appreciate his efforts.
HE IS A PROFESSOR WHO LAY DOWN HIS RULES VERY EARLY, AND BECAUSE OF THAT MANY PEOPLE THINKS HE IS VERY HARD. I BELIEVE THAT HE IS A VERY KNOWLEDGIBLE PROFESSOR, WHO KNOW HOW TO TEACH.
TOUGH, TOUGH, TOUGH, - AFTER HIS CLASS, I CHANGED MY MAJOR. OH YES, HE IS CUTE !!
He is a great prof. his explanation is very clear. there are many profs in bmcc don't know how to teach. we need more profs like him, knows how to teach. I learn a lot from his class. if ur major is acc, take him.
He is the worst professor i ever have. He teaches nothing in the class and makes the exam very very difficult. Even you study hard and do each will not find question from the text book, you find any similar questions or problems when you take his quiz. In the final, you won't get any hint from him. He will tell you from chapter 1 to 10 and that it
He is the best professor in BMCC. I wish all professors like that. He is so helpful and cares for his students. Thanks so much Prof. Wolfson. You are the MAN.
He's one of those prof. that makes a difference in your learning experience. Even though strict he's very helpful and teaches well in a way that you'll be glad you had him as your professor...he's kinda good lookin. Accounting majors, highly recommend him!!
The best professor in BMCC, we need more professors like Wolfson.
He's very good but that doesn't mean he's an EASY professor. He explains EVERYTHING to you i mean EVERYTHING! At times he would tell you to buy stocks in your bank. LOL. He's also pretty hot for his age. Picture him as an uglier Richard Gere. Oh yea, if your cell phone goes off in class or if you walk behind him when you're late,he takes off points
I'm now in Baruch. Comparetively, I think he can beat half of the profs in Baruch. He definitely better than most of the profs in BMCC. He gives you clear lectures, he pushes you to study hard and he cares about students. By the way, he is a very attractive man.
From the first moment he steps in the class room is just tension because thats what he projects. He is a really really hard profesor not easy at all but if you want to learn go ahead, or if you want to screw up thats your man...
I had Prof Wolfson for both Intermed Accounting and Cost accounting, He is a tough professor, but he makes you learn. He does know what he is teaching. He is a helpful professor. If you are an accounting major, and you want to learn you stuff, take him, If you just want an easy A, don't take him. Gives test after every chapter, it does help
if you are an accounting major, he is the best prof try to get to his class, because other prof. are not as good as he is, he is a profesional. He is strict, gives great material, you do learn in his class. But if you are not accounting major, do not take him because you will say that he is too hard and you do not need this class anyways.
This professor is very negative he knows his stuff but he is very boring and so hard to talk to, he basically just ignores you take him if you willing to study hard but otherwise he makes you hate Accounting
He's ok. He reminds me of Judge Judy sometimes with his attitude and rudeness but if you dont take it too seriously it's actually kind of funny. If you're majoring in accounting you should definitely take him. Would take him again in a heartbeat and would have taken the next level of accounting with him but he didnt teach it.
hard tests. Has no interest in all but a few students. Ignores and avoids. Final is cummulative! and no clues given. superiority complex. Really hard to like the class. Must READ BOOK AND MEMORIZE. He covers all material but is BOORING!!
This professor is very straight to the point, and doesn't want to hear any BS. He teaches well though
This professor know the subject
This guy is the absolute worst. He did not give us a syllabus and insisted on exams after every individual chapter. Many times exams occured up to three weeks and two chapters later. All exams were tricky and basically wordy (as is he). He is unapproachable and basically unfriendly. Stay away from this guy........
What do u guys expect from an accounting professor???You expect him to be nice and easy???Try to go to Baruch College, accounting professor s wont even talk to you.They wont even explain the material and hold you accountable for it.While Prof. Wolfson might be tough, he explains every single tiny thing in class. Dont expect to be entertained either
his class is Ok but boring
Just do it!
He is best accounting professor I ever had! I took Intermeidate 1 and Cost Accounting with him and i can catch up with his classes and get an "A". And when I have any questions, he always explains them to me very clearly. So my advise is, if you want to learn, take his class. He is the best!
I wish everyone was like he.
Very tought professor, but you will definitely learn in his class. He may be tough but he is very fair.
Professor Wolfson is a prettty good professor. I have to give him one thing. For as boring as Acc can be, he makes it at least a little bit interesting. I would would recommend him. Also, do not walk behind him when he's teaching or let your cell go off. He will flip out; and don't EVER pop gum.
fair professor, good teaching, like to get respect from students as he gives. make accounting interesting. lenient guy. PS i don't know why other students think he is sexy. he actually looks like george W bush. really
can't not understand why he runs away so quickly after class.
He looks more like bill clinton, actually.
I found him to be a very poor teacher. He didn't answer your questions because he expected you to know the answers already. He's strict when it came to classroom decorum, which can be understandable, but he took it to extremes. Unless your a Math whiz or are a genius don't take this class. If you allow him to get to you he can dishearten you tow
He's tuff and very strick. You cannot walk behind him or in front of him if you're late to class. Walk way around. You should be really excellent in order to get a good grade....
Great professor, his explanations are clear and easy to follow, his exams are fair and he's hot! Just don't be late, walk in front or behind him, chew gum and turn off your phone.
I think he is a test-oriented professor, who trys to train students to do well on the multiple choice tests. I hope he can give more accounting cases from the real business world, which should benefit students the most. By the way, foreign students might find him is difficult, so THINK IT OVER before you take his class!
Does not assign or collect homework. That may sound like a plus, but how do you know if you are not getting things like you should? No nonsense professor. This semester's book was absolutely horrific, so attending class is a must so you don't fall behind. Overall I'd recommend him if you are serious about accounting as a career choice.
Can't walk in front of class room and no cracking gum. Otherwise, he is a good prof.
Overall good Prof.
He is good, just does not like rude students. He has consideration. I am foreign students, but I understand what he says and got A+.
He is crazy, if you paid for your own tuition, do not take him!
if you didn't get a good grade, because you didn't study good enough. he is fair.
great professor, teaches well, explains things so clear you almost don't need to study for exams, took him for summer session 2
Awesome professor, lays down the foundation clearly for you to do well. Gives example in class and help you if don't understand. Head of the Accounting department and really knows his stuff, if you want to learn take him but you have to work for your grade
This man simply bores you as no one else...
loved him
I took him during the Summer Session. Great professor, quick, and efficient. There were a lot of extra points in the exams but you had earn them. My advice is to listen and take in what he is teaching. Practice everyday - this is a no BS class and if you slack around you'll be lost. Otherwise, I highly suggest him if you are in it for the long run.
Here it is point blank. Prof is crystal clear and explains the material plainly and in simple terms. The man reviews material RIGHT BEFORE the test. He drops your lowest grade and makes sure you understand. Take him if you are serious about getting a good grade. Read the text and pay attention. Highly recommended!
Although you aren't interested in the subject, you'll still got entertained!
Easy A. All you have to do is read the text, do the exercises and show up to class. If you can't do that then you're not ready for college.
Thanks Prof.W for making complicated accounting so interesting!
Come, Come, Come...
He is really nice prof. one of the best accounting profs in BMCC. He really makes you understand. He knows his stuff. and he is very cool guy. for his exam you have to study.The grades best on the point that u earned.Dude u are in college! If u want get an A without studying? u are in the wrong place.
He is Ausome! I took the class with him in Summer. Here is a storategy to get a A. Ready the testbook carefully to understand definitions of accountings and how to do the transactions completely. It is easy to get a A. The Multiple choice of his test is not difficult if you memorize them completely!Good Luck!
The college should allow profs. to eat foods while students taking tests. Also, the college should allow students to bring pillows in classroom for avoiding boredom.
best accounting professor ever
He is a really good prof. I took his class during the summer and i learned a lot. I mean a lot!!! especially for me as an accounting student. For those of u who said he is bad, It's because u guy dont have interest in accounting and just complain.
If you want to learn accounting, especially an accounting major, you need Prof. Wolfson. What you learn from Wolfson stays with you forever.
intersting teaching style
This professor is amazing. I had a really bad Prof. in 122. He made me feel as I was an accounting major. He is really good and teach from what is important. Very recommended in ACC 122 and 222.
Best prof. ever.I took two classes with him. He cares about students'needs, his teaching style is very interesting, sometimes he is very cool, sometimes very funny.He is always available for student.And his exams are not hard, if you liscen in class. Take him, when semester end, you will happy with your grade and never wanna leave him.
Great Professor knows his stuff, very clear at explaining makes the class a bit challenging but it's for your own good. would differently take again for another accounting class.
Absolutely wonderful professor. All lectures were clear and concise and the text was utilized very well. His teaching style is old school, but he makes sure you absorb the material.
His tests are MC, not that easy.2 midterms and a cumulative final. I dont think he curves. He explains the material, but his overall teaching style is mainly just lecturing and writing examples on the board. No power points. No blackboard. He always looks bored. Not ethusiastic. Basically you could take him or leave him, not great but not horrible.
He's a knowledgeable person and very experienced in what he teaches. What I will say is that if you're looking for a free ride might as well go for somebody else because he really challenges you. He does add some test bank questions here and there so do them in case all else fails. Good luck on his 2-3 tests plus a cumulative final.
Great Professor, always gives students ample room to pass his class. And makes the subject simple
Easy, helpful, wants student to succeed.
If you're an accounting major take him from start to finish if possible. He gives you all the of relevant information needed. He will also keep you informed of the latest accounting trends. He gives a lot of test but they will help you understand and increase your chance to get a good grade. Just don't be late to his class.
Gruff professor, but fair, funny and informative. If you pay attention you'll be fine. He answers questions no matter how many times it's asked, and will make sure you understand. He's a good professor. Old-school! If you're not sure how you'll do in an accounting class - Take Professor Wolfson. He's hands on, you will learn a great deal from him.
Knowledgeable and very professional even though very simple in conversations. Wants students to succeed. Explains material in easy language for you to understand. Recommend to take him
Great Guy! He was instrumental in me deciding to pursue Accounting as a career...I am a CPA now. I think he's a good guy esp if you are an Accounting major.
he is the best acct professor in BMCC, I can understand why he is the head of the acct dept. He is difficult but I love it! he is clear, I wish all my prof were like him. I am in love with the way he teach and his class! :)
What can I say, Prof. Wolfson is one of the best professors I have taken for accounting. I registered for his classes for three semesters back to back. He is very knowledgeable and teaches with clarity. He is strict, but very good. He will test you for every chapter. If Accounting is your major you should him from the beginning. Two thumbs up!
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR HE MAKES ACCOUNTING SEEM SO EASY
"Everything is a No!" He says this when the class says NO regarding something hes already reviewed. The great part is he will review it with again. If the class is still struggling with the information he will give you an open book test the last 20 minutes of the exam. He might be to easy so make sure you read the book and challenge yourself!
I obtained my bachelor degree in accounting and I may say he was my best professor ever.
Best professor ever! He made accounting easy to understand. He also has a sense of humor which made class enjoyable. At the end of each chapter he gives a multiple choice quiz which are fairly easy.
Took him at Baruch. Not easy, wish we had one of our own professors teaching over the summer for financial acc 2. Doesn't let you see you own old exams, which is absurd.
not a good prof, don't care about students
Although he may come off as very tough he makes sure he doesn't move on until everything is crystal clear, constantly asking if anyone has questions. He gives tests after each chapter if you study the chapters the tests are fairly easy. I would recommend him I learned a lot.
He is good!!! But if you are not ready to do your homework, it will get tough.
He is really good Professor hi explanation is clear .he is helpfull
This is 1 of the hardest prof at Bmcc BUT he is the BEST prof at bmcc. He explains the material in a way that you will understand, you leave this class with a lot of knowledge! loved him!
he is really really good.
Best Accounting Professor
He is great! Explains what is needed for the class in detail. Reviews for the test. Test is on EVERY CHAPTER on the book! so basically you will get a TEST on everything! You will learn a lot.
He the best professor ever. Owing to his quality classes and exams I leared a lot on the accounting. Without him, it must have been very difficult to understand the material. I do appreciate his class and almost sad not to see him again.
He is a very detailed professor.He keeps the whole concept clear. Every exam total counts above 100, it's easy to get good grade. he also gives open book exam. If your major is accounting, you should take him
Awesome teacher gives good examples asks lots of questions makes sure Everyone understands the material.
Wolfson is the head of Accounting department. He's a very fair guy. He tells you what's going to be on test and goes over it extensively before tests. I wouldn't say his tests are hard but if you don't put the time in you will struggle in his courses. Can be somewhat intimidating in class environment but very helpful during office hours.
This professor is great! He is clear from the beginning with the fact that the course is not easy and you'll have to work hard to get an A! Make sure to study a lot and make use of the book, since his test are based on the material. Even though he doesn't take attendance, make sure to go to every lecture or you will miss important information.
One of the best professors! He knows what he is doing and is very organized. If you don't get something, its good to ask because he doesn't mind explaining it over and over just to make sure you understand.
This is a very smart Prof who actually teaches in front of a class. Intermediate accounting 11 is not an easy class, but his examples are straight forward and he is always open to questions. The hardest part for me was his final exam, which was based on everything he thought in the semester.
if you actually care about learning the subject don't even hesitate! the best accounting prof at BMCC. Lectures are very clear, and there is nothing he won't go over again, just ask him. If you are an ACC major and want a good base of the subject this is definitely a prof for u. Try not to miss the class as u are going to miss a lot of info.
Hates cellphones in the class - shut it off. Bring your textbook to class everyday you will use it EVERYDAY. You'll have a test per chapter. Very well organized, straight to the point, easy to understand lessons. No extra credit whatsoever. Overall grade is based on all the chapter test plus the final. A class for those who actually want to learn.
My favorite professor at BMCC. His lectures are amazing, he takes the time to explain everything so clearly. There is a quizz after each chapter. Do your work, go to class, ask questions and you'll get the grade you deserve. If you want to learn, take him!!!!!!
Best professor ever, he's lecture are amazing, He takes his time explaining everything. Just come to class, do your work and you will fine. Definitely take him again!.
Prof Wolfson is a knowledgeable person. If you want to learn & pursue a career in Accounting, take him. Quizzes on every chapter with extra credits and a long final without extra credit. Take notes, read the book, understand the materials & practice. If you don't understand, the class will be harder. He gives opportunities to do good in class.
One of the best accounting professors there is. He makes a difficult class seem so easy. Guarantee you that if you take him, you will learn a lot of things instead of just trying to pass his class.
He is one of the best professors at BMCC. He is very strict, but you will understand the class very well. his exams aren't easy, and you will work hard for this class.
Prof Wolfson is a genius in accounting. He is actually one of the best professors I have ever met in BMCC. I am recommending this Professor to everyone who want to take Acc 122 especially if your major is accounting. Just come to class all the time and never miss any of his lectures
Professor Wolfson is amazing. He is not afraid to answer any questions and the way he presents the concepts makes you understand accounting very easily. Just show up for class, take notes and you'll be ready for the exams - which, by the way, he gives every 2 chapters or so. Really good professor, really cares about what he does.
Hes a really great ���� Professor and yes I do recommend him.
Great professor. Throws a little bit of anecdotes/ jokes into his lectures, which are never boring. Be prepared to read and go over chapters outside of class to really understand how to do things he goes over in class. Grading is simple, strictly testing, and the amount of points u can earn usually go over 100 for each exam.
Professor Wolfson gives exam for each chapter and give out extra credit which gives student a lot of chances to get a better grade in the class. Nice professor, I would recommend to take him!
Professor Wolfson is a good professor, and the exams are mostly based on class notes. He does not like cellphones in class and the textbook is used in every class. He makes you work for your grade and don't even think about skipping his class because you will not pass!!!. Be prepare to work hard in order to get your desired grade.
The class and material itself is HARD. Don't know how I made it out alive. He's nice, helpful, and knows how to teach.
Prof. Wolfson is an excellent professor!! He cares about his students, knows the material in its dept, and makes sure everybody knows the material before proceeding to the next chapter. I would definitely recommend to take him for every class he teaches. You won't regret it!!
Professor Wolfson is one my favorite Professors. He gives clear lectures and teaches alot but makes sure everyone understands. He also gives extra credit so everyone has a chance. If you show up and do the work, you will pass.
Worst professor everrr...
This professors behavior stinks. I never seen any rude professor like him at Bmcc. He should understand that he is only head of Accounting department and not the president of Bmcc.
Amaizing Professor !!! quiz every 2 chapters ,prepare to read , hard material but Professor making sure everyone is understanding him. would take him again !
no homework at all, but quiz every 2 week, Extremely careful on the test, he walk around, and changing your sit, no phone at all on the quiz, even when we get our grade of the quiz, ZERO if he see your phone on the quiz, and when checking answer on the quiz, (easy that he doesn't want to create another quiz when his test was exposed). its sucks
I would rather have a C from professor Wolfson then an A from some other accounting professors. He teaches, the grade comes after.
Accounting 430 is hard but Professor Josh is an excellent Professor he knows this course so well and he knows how to teach. Exam after each chapter so you have a chance to do well just study hard and everything is going to be hard.
Professor Wolfson is an AMAZING professor. He'll be using the chalkboard the entire time so pay attention and attend class. He'll drop your lowest grade and we were only graded on quizes. He has a lot of knowledge and when he says study, you should. You're told when you have the test and studying the day before is how you pass. Just no phones.
I took this class during the summer and it was a waste of time. Prof grades you based on 3 exams. No HMW, no Attendance etc. Acc is difficult so you gotta work hard. even though I worked very hard I didn't do well n the second exam and that was enough to bring my grade down. Prof didn't give me a chance to bring my grade up with the final exam...
He knows how to teach, doesn't use slides, explains material very clearly. However, he looks unapproachable (even intimidating sometimes) and bored with students. Never stays in class during the break, comes in a little late and leaves as soon as the class is over.
Prof. knows how to teach. I took him summer. accounting is hard even though i studied hard I almost failed. decided to receive an incomplete and take again.I like my new class because my grade is based on not only midterm and final but online HMW, Excel etc. Prof wolfs grades only based on exams and after a bad midterm you can't really help urself
NOTE: This review is a couple months late. Professor Wolfson's lectures are straight to the point. He knows a lot about accounting; his explanations are top-notch. There is no homework, only exams. His exams were easy for the most part. Lastly, Prof. Wolfson adapted very well to distance learning. I can't recommend him enough.
He is the BEST Accounting professor I have ever took. He is knowledgeable. All he taught is useful. You don't need a lot of time to read books. You only need to really understand what he teach during the lecture. Half the work with double results. He really want his students can learn. He is not a EASY A professor. But I like his lecture very much.
Doesn't know how to teach. Save your GPA
I took this guy during the summer semester thinking that he is going to teach me a lot and I ended up with an F. MY GPA fell hard and my transcript looks like sht now. I took the same class the following semester and I got an A. What this class did to me was totally unnecessary. You have better options than this prof. trust me
He's a great professor, he explains the material thoroughly, just pay attention study on your own and you'll do fine. And ask questions.
A great professor, He is one of the best Accounting professors, Always makes sure you understand everything.
If you pay attention in class and read the textbook you wont have that hard of a time. Professor Wolfson does his lectures on chalkboard and nothing else. He is engaging and uses real life examples to explain accounting. Sometimes it can get difficult but you just need to read over the textbook and everything with click into place.
Professor Wolfson is amazing professor! If you want to understand accounting, take him.
The test are easy if you pay attention in class. Do not yawn in his class either, he doesn't like that. He's a very straightforward person. Just make sure to take notes in class. and he will literally tell you what will be on the test.
Professor Wolfson is one of the best accounting professors. Be prepared for an exam after each chapter. He knows how to teach and clearly explains complicated concepts. Be attentive and take good notes because they are the key to doing well in exams. In addition, he always gives extra credit on each exam. You will like him if you desire to learn.
This professor is the worst at BMCC. He doesn't know how to teach. Very difficult exams. Save your GPA and avoid his class.
its kinda funny I started my major as accounting but josh would talk about random topics of economic and social life and made me interested in finance. im in my final stretch in BMCC I believe I came this point in particular in josh he allowed me to retake exams and I was tarty but gave me opportunitys.i learned and made up from following semesters
This is a professor who cares about the subject matter and his students. We used the textbook every class. Class is informative but please do yourself a favor and keep up with the reading it is really hard to catch up if you fall behind in my experience. I liked him for intro to accounting would take him again.
