Very good teacher. Enjoys his topic and teaching in general. Brings in outside guests--sometimes past students to add some "reality" to the classroom environment. Open book easy tests. A little light on the material, but ours was the first ACC 201 class he taught. Fair grader--gives partial credit. TAKE HIM, he is very good!!!

I took this class hopping to learn something to apply it in my work. There were 10 assignments total, which I didn't even had any materials to pull information from, so I had to do it base in my work experience. Always got perfect score, NO FEEDBACK. If you are interested in an easy A without learning anything; he is the teacher. Waste of my money!

I was a previous student of Professor Raiford. I absolutely loved his class, I thought the person that gave him a awful rating on 5/16/16 is absolutely absurd that he/she didn't learn. You have the option of reading the book too to compliment your learning, the negative rating is so disingenuous. Professor Raiford has motivated me so much!

I spread the coursework across 4 weeks or so, and spent about 1-2 hours on the work every week. Kevin is quick to provide feedback and grading. If you're looking for a simple, summer class, this is it.

THE easiest class you will take at CSN. ANY of his classes you take are easy and even easier online. No book required. All assignments are posted online, very easy. If you take his class participation and attendance is a must but participation is easy to do when he calls on everyone anyway. Cool teacher with real life experience. Id take him again.
