I took Linwood over the summer and being his first semester at UNCC he was AWESOME! His class was straight forward, if you go to class you will do good. He goes over similar homework problems in class so you are given the opportunity to really learn the material with practice. He truly does care that his students learn and succeed.

He's the most caring teacher I've ever had at UNCC. He emails non-stop and even provides his own personal phone number in case you can't reach him. He emails atleast once a day to remind you of homework, quizzes, exams, etc. The conceptual questions on his exams are a little hard and you definitely have to study for his exams. Great teacher overall

His teaching style is a little off however he has seemed to be the best acct professor at UNCC. Attendance isn't mandatory and I personally did not like his teaching style. I don't go to class instead teach myself out of the book and then go to SI sessions. I have a 96 in the class because he curves all of his tests by almost 10 points!!!!

His teaching style isn't realistic for accounting. You will learn more about his life than accounting. In class he typically just list (without explaining) lettered answers to extra practice problems that you don't get credit for. I stopped going to class & did much better teaching myself out of the text book. Pros- test curves, and no attendance.

By far the worst professor at UNCC I've ever taken. He is new here so maybe that was the problem. His teaching style is awful and the tests are nothing like the lectures or the homework. He sits and talks about his life instead of going in depth about his lectures. I am a straight A student, never skipped one of his classes, and I made a C. AVOID.

He's a good professor and all but he speeds through the material and gets off track often. If you take him you will have to either read the book or learn the material on your own. He just reads straight from the powerpoint and hardly ever explains things, other than when he goes over the homework in class.

Not a bad professor. you kind of have to teach yourself everything because he just reads off of powerpoints and does hw problems over. Exams are too difficult.

ACCT 2122 is an annoying course. The professors don't get much leeway to teach the class how they want, so they have to do what the department says. This results in boring power points every class and clicker questions. Teach the material to yourself. I'm Sure Kearney is a great professor, this class is just extremely structured.

Kearney is a very nice and caring man. However, he's not the best teacher. I think that his class lacks in-class examples and problems that you can do together. He pretty much just reads the slides and tells you the answers to the problems, but doesn't really do a good job teaching you how to find the answer yourself.

He was always there when I needed help, and he told me to not give up. Accounting as a whole is a difficult subject, and it's not necessarily his fault for it. This summer session he made attendance 5% of our grade, so if you went every day then that's 5 points added to your final grade. My advise- seek help, GO TO TUTORING, and teach yourself!

One of the best professors I have had! He is very understanding and greatly cares about his students doing well in this class! He provides a lot of helpful material for this course. The exams are hard, but he provides study guides and video lectures that make the exams easier if you study them.

Lectures were sometimes boring as it was all based on powerpoint slides. But, he did go over the homework in class before it was due. Extra credit was easily obtained for a final project in this class and he was always available for office hours. Tests are on paper but all based on the homework and quizzes taken.

Genuinely the best professor I have had in my college career so far. Breaks down every single homework question, posts all lectures and study guides online, etc. My best advice is to just make flashcards based on the study guides he posts. His tests always match up with the study guide so as long as you're familiar with the concepts you'll be fine.

lectures can be boring, attendance is taken for credit, homework answers are posted online so you should get a 100% class can be hard if u dont like acct, what helped me is making a practice test of the EOC questions from the book and quizzes. also when he goes over a problem in class and says "good question" it will more than likely be on the test

Kearney is such a good professor, he always makes sure to allow questions if you're confused. Mostly a lecture class. There is a homework and quiz for each unit, but the homework is explained by him in class so you should always get 100. Quizzes are open notes and they are very useful for the tests. I enjoyed his class and would take it again.

He is a really great professor and I highly recommend taking his class. His class is as difficult as you make it, but he gives you all the tools to succeed and learn. Overall, I enjoyed his class while also learning a lot. I am looking forward to taking Professor Kearney again over the summer for ACCT 2122.

One of my favorite professors at UNCC, I took accounting 2121 with him and then 2122 the first summer session. He is very nice and welcoming to all students. He puts the time in to make sure all of his students understand the material. He has a way with teaching that makes you want to come to class and engage in class as well. 10/10

Nice guy but he basically only reads off slides. Study guides were given but he would make changes to it like 1 day before the actual exam. Not the most accessible outside of class, when going to get help during office hours wasn't very helpful he laughed at questions that you got wrong on the exam.

he encourages us to ask for help and reach out to him. He obviously loves and cares for his students, and makes it clear that he values us. To me, his tests were hard but as long as you keep up with the homework and quizzes you will be fine. showing up is not mandatory but super helpful if you do.

Professor Kearney is a genuine and caring professor who wants his students to succeed and will go to great lengths to make sure he runs his class with integrity. He helped me fix a misaligned scantron on the final exam, and is happy to individually assist students. Lectures are a bit redundant, though, and cover little new ground.

Kearney is a great professor. Encourages questions and always puts the students first. Offers lots of extra credit, gives bonus points on every test and overall a nice guy. Gives answers to hw and quizzes in class. He runs through the slides pretty quickly, so I'd download them and take notes on the slides as he speaks, that helped me a lot.

Had a great time with this Professor. Accounting II can be pretty difficult at times, but this Professor does a great job at telling you what to expect/study for on his exams. He is also great at communicating with his students which is something that most professors are not great at these days. Would definitely take again.

The best accounting professor at UNC Charlotte! He really cares about his students and is willing to do anything for his students to succeed in his class. When I took him, there were couple of really fun projects and tests that weren't that hard as long as you studied and attended all the lectures. On some tests, he would curve very generously.

Cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. Material is all online in the textbook, but he goes over every single homework and quiz prior to the due date, so that each student is able to fully grasp each concept. Very understanding, difficult subject but he will work with you if you need extra help!

I personally do not like Kearney's teaching style. I felt like he would have benefitted from a smaller class size, but he would just talk through problems and not write anything out. However, he posts every single HW problem solution + video explanation. Felt more like a self taught class w supplemental lecture. Nice man but I retained nothing.

This is the worst professor I have had at UNCC. He goes so fast that you can not understand or take notes; he does not actually lecture, he just goes over the homework or in-class assignment. If you want to understand accounting, do not take this professor.

Native English speaker, genuinely cares about the class and well being of everyone. Goes over broad strokes, but requires some reading outside of class to not waste precious lecture time. Gives good life advice as well. Very down to earth person. Very difficult to fail this class if you show up and read at least a little bit of the textbook.
