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.

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

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!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
