Loved this class... He made those long 2 and a half hours decently enjoyable.. Loved his stories that connected to what we were learning.. Overall very personable professor and really approachable and helpful
Kurt is an awesome teacher. He has loads of energy and quite a few jokes. He is a funny guy and not your normal accountant. He will entertain but at the same time educate you. He is not an easy A but if you put the effort so will he. Overall great class and I will be going back to him for BUS 1B
Kurt is a great teacher. He has amazing stories and everything leads back to accounting. As long as you go to class and LISTEN you will do fine.
hes a good teacher but you need to stay on him about your grade, because he will have you thinking that there is faith in you passing but youll probably end up failing! if you feel like your not passing this class then drop it IMMEDIATLY because its not worth failing!
Kurt is a great professor I am definitely going back to his class! he's life stories are fun to listen and at the same time you are learning about life and accounting! what can be better? 2hours 30min feels like 1hr !! if just listen and do your hwks you probably get A in this class
I have taken Accounting 1B with Kurt Hull and his class is no walk in the park. He tends to rush over things quickly and expect you to get it right away. When you go to his office hour for further clarification he helps you at first but the more you see him the more he doesn't want to see you. He always tells jokes and stories that are hilarious!
Okay so Hull was amazing. I dont understand why some people thought he was hard. He lets you have a cheat sheet for the test! As for the multiple choice, read your notes, read the book and you'll be FINE. I got As on all his tests. and he is SOO helpful. His stories are awesome. He's truly and amazing teacher. One of the best I've had at Elco.
Very Good Class, Very Good Proffesor, Show up, stay awake and pay attention you will do fine. You will also learn some good life lessons as well.
Great teacher! You can tell he likes what he does. He's personable and very knowledgeable. Material's complex. He does a good job breaking it down so its understandable. He keeps class interesting and fun. Homework and quizzes every week from Connect. The exams are on exactly what's covered in class. No surprises. Cheat sheet is allowed on exams.
Best teacher I have ever had, make such a difficult topic easy to understand and fun. I recommend him, perfect
Adorable, he is the best Bus prof,he makes the material easy. His test are same as practice test. Cheat sheet allowed. NOT boring at all. I had so much fun, liked him a lot.
Professor Hull is a very good professor. He's very helpful. If you want an A in this class, you have to work for it! Nothing in accounting is easy! Take this class! He's amazing!
Very helpful and knowledgable professor. His practice tests are very similar to the tests and he is clear about what you need to know to succeed. Just keep up with the readings and study the practice tests and homework questions and its not too hard a hard class
Great teacher in this course. His practice test are as close as they can be to the actual test. Study the practice test, fill out a great one sheet, and you'll pass the test. He has a lot of experience in the field which he tells stories relating to the current chapter of the class.
I thought Hull was a great teacher. I had done a lot of bookkeeping prior to this class, but this class really helped me understand accounting, reading financial reports, and more high level accounting info. Prof Hull was very, very helpful, explained everything well, and was a great teacher.
Hull is one of the best Professors I've had at Elco. Definitely take him!
By far one of the best profs I've ever had. Very chill guy who def knows his subject. Explains everything in a way that's easy to follow and is always available for help if needed. Tests are easy if you study the material - gives out practice exams that are the exact tests w dif numbers and lets you use 1 sheet of notes for them. 1010. Take him.
Hull is an awesome professor all around. Funny, approachable, knows the material well, and is great at teaching it in a way that you can follow and understand. Goes over every homework problem and does lots of examples in class to give you practice. Never thought I'd like accounting but his class made me switch majors to it. Take him!!
Homework is online and it is based on the lectures from class. For test, study the study guide that he gives in class and the one from online to get an A on Exam. If you study that you will get an A on the Exam. Nice professor and is willing to help if you don't understand something.
Best prof I've ever had. Very approachable, knows his subjectteaches it well, and is there for help if you need it. Tests are straightforward and just like the practice exams he gives you + you can use notes. Will have to do a group projectpresentation at the end of the sem but it's very chill. Great profclass overall - take him!
He sets you up for success in this class. Loves to joke and really knows his stuff about accounting and the business world in general. Best professor if you get the chance to take this guy do it he is awesome. HW online and gives pre-tests that help a ton with the real test. Answers any questions. Perfect Professor 5.0
I am not a business major when I took this class. It was hard to be honest but the teacher made it easy and the end project will help your grade that is if you do well.
GREAT GUY ! WOULD TAKE AGAIN ! CLEAR AND HELPFUL ! THANKS MR HULL !!!
He makes it very clear what is going to be on the test. He is a funny guy, and his lectures are not boring.
Enjoyed going to every single one of his classes, he never had a boring lecture. He is very clear on what he wants you to know and what will be on tests. He cracks a lot of jokes and is always super helpful if you attend his office hours. Before every test he give you a Mock exam which helps incredibly. Highly recommend taking his class
I took both BUS-1A and 1B with Prof. Hull. Both are actually intense, and you definitely need to spend some time for HWs and Projects to pass these courses. Although they weren't easy courses, I got As for both 1A and1B. If you study reasonably, it is not hard to get A. You can always ask Prof. Hull if you need some help. He is there for you!
He's a good teacher with a hard subject. Accounting isn't fun. Never has been, never will be, but he tries to make it fun. He gives pretty good speeches sometimes. He changed the way I think about some things and you can tell he's pretty smart. Tests are easy if you study.
Professor Hull is a great teacher and knows how to explain the material very well. Managerial Accounting is a tough concept, but if you do the homework and the practice problems in class you should get an A on the exams. He also lets you use a page of notes on the exams, so its not hard to pass them.
Accounting is a not so easy subject. After taking this course with professor Hull I understand accounting. He understands accounting is a not so easy subject and tries his best to make the class as do-able and interesting as possible. Pre-tests are given before all exams. Expect long homework assignments, but these are meant to help you.
One of the best teachers out there hands down. Hilarious. Sacrifices his dignity for the sake of keeping the class awake. Extremely caring and takes the art of teaching seriously. Very clear in lectures. I ended up getting over 100% and I'm not the smartest guy around by a long shot. Pretests very similar to actual tests.
Class was relatively stressful. Going to class matters because the material can be tricky. Had online homework and 4 tests. Hull is an awesome guy and is very reasonable. Stay engaged and do the practice tests!
I took Prof Hull for Bus 1A & 1B, MORE THAN HALF of the class was the same as the 1A Sem. That's a testament to his ability to teach and how respected he is by students. Great lectures, straight forward and funny, and he gives you more than enough work to prepare for tests. Use his office hours and extra study sessions !!!! Would take him again!
nice guy but def. makes things hard. pre test will help but he does change half of everything so that you're left confused. Test are long too.
Professor Hull is one of the coolest teachers on campus. He's always willing to help and has a great sense of humor. He also works with you on Accounting problems in class so you understand it. Homework is online and the pretests are online as well. Make sure you do those and pay attention in class and you'll be golden.
Nice guy. Easy Class. Allowed a piece of cheat sheet every exam. He talked so many fun stuff when he notices the class got boring. He tried so hard to get your attention and tried every way to give you an A. Even made up a "final presentation" which you get full credit by just show up.
He is the best accounting professor I've ever seen, you will learn a lot as long as you pay attention in his lecture and do your homework, now I was transferred, if I have another chance, I WILL take him again and again!!!!!
After transferring I clearly have an advantage over other transfers at my current school now. You learn so much in this class and you may even be inspired to pursue accounting. Professor Hull is accessible through email and office hours for help. He also tells great stories and is extremely wise. Take this class!
Awesome professor!! He is a unique guy & takes his time to remember student's names in the class, which is cool. he also tells interesting stories about his travels and does his best to keep the class interested and listening. Tests are pretty difficult, but he gives you a pretest that helps a lot and a page of notes. Learned a lot in this class!
Professor Hull is the best professor I have ever had! I definitely looked forward coming to class. Tests can be difficult - however, if you study, you will pass. Don't hesitate to ask any questions. He is really inspirational and gives really great words of wisdom. I always left class in a better mood. Take his class, you will not regret it!
Pro Hull is one of the best business professor at El co. His lectures are clear and enjoyable. I really like his passion and energy. He cares a lot about his students and knows what he is doing. Most homework, quizzes are online, but that it's worth spending for. It will make your life easier to do accounting assignment online.
Professor Hull is the best Business teacher ever!!! Just do your work do your hw and you will get an A. Also you would have the best semester ever because Professor is not boring.
tough, he will have the worst grade in your record ever. tests are tricky and hard no extra credits ever. homework id tough
Expect a lot of Homework. Everthing is online. Not curve for class. The grade is based on your score points only. No extra credits ever. Makes things harder. Tests are tricky . Kind of different from the pre-tests. Make you down as you feel frustrated to pass the class. You must work super hard to pass the class. Quizzes and tests are stress...
Teaches class with passion, great instructor. Just do the hw,reading, and assignments and you will do good on the exams. He gives 4 exams, which are not tough just study for it and you will get an A. He has a kind heart and very intellectual about the business world. He is very funny too, will keep you awake.
Be careful! Do not be foolish by these opinions. He will make you work so hard and may be you will end the semester by grade C. Skip him if you want an A.
you have to spend so much of your time studying for the exams. it was extremely stressful and time-consuming. The lectures are ok, kinda boring. mostly everything (homework, quizzes, exams) are digital based
was a very tough class, but you end up respecting him at the end of the year. homework can be time consuming sometimes, but if you do the work you learn a ton. all the homework and tests are online, and he drops your lowest test score at the end of the year (he doesn't tell you though).
Professor Hull highly recommended. Pluses are notes for exams, Canvas online system very helpful, important to view videos and example hints for homework. There is lots of homework due weekly, more so than other classes, best to start right after class! Group project grade booster, great information on investing. Take him best option for 1A!
An investor, actor, martial artist, traveler, accountant, sideways walker, and professor all for the price of one class! I took Hull for both Bus1A&B in 2017. Cool professor but tough class. Make sure to practice the problems, form study groups, reread the chapter, make the most of SI/office hours and you'll pass. Practicing will help a lot!
Clear requirements of how to succeed his class. Come to lectures, do homework and practices tests and you will succeed in this class. If you don't understand attend Professor Hull's office hours. Super nice guy, well travelled and interesting lectures. Willing to help you with whatever. I took him for 1A and I am taking him again for 1B. Solid
Majority of your grade is based on the tests. He gives a clear explanation of all the material & encourages the class to participate in examples. This class can be very easy if you're willing to learn & stay on top of the homework. I plan on taking him again.
Prof Hull is great! Gives you a full cheat sheet for every test. Decent amount of online homework. But his class is not boring with his sense of humor. All you have to do is actually pay attention in class and take real notes with pen and paper... not just sit there in front of your laptop. Also he has some good stories!
He is an exceptional instructor, his lectures are not boring. He makes you work hard for your grade but you will prepare for when you transfer. Skip class won't pass, ask questions, exams are little hard but if you review the practice exam you will be fine.
Pretty tough class. Pay attention. Gets a bit boring.
This class is not easy. Get ready to spend 3-5 hours on your laptop trying to complete all of the weekly assignments. These assignments consist of 30-60 "reading" questions in which you have to answer all of them correctly in order to move on, the hw 6-10 problems that have a-d sometimes a-f, and quiz. Pro. is nice but he tells too many stories.
This is a hybrid class, which transferred to online due to COVID-19, but still have zoom lectures. Professor Hull is very thorough when going over the materials. He gives time to understand the material. He is a VERY nice guy who is attentive to his students! Well trained professional who can actually teach from afar with no issues. So glad I took!
the best prof I've had! his class is DIFFICULT but he is great at lectures, never boring, and very funny! took is BUS1A/B classes and don't regret it. DONT SKIP CLASS! took 8-week hybrid classes for both and it goes really fast! the tests really determine your grade but the hw helps edge you out of a bad grade if youre not doing so well.
Professor Hull is great. I took him for Bus 1A & now Bus 1B. He is REALLY good at the hybrid/online courses. His lectures are interactive or he shows how to do the work. A real good find for El Camino. He is way better than some at the school, especially once we went online. Good attitude, great help, positive feedback. SB and HW are key to exams.
Professor Hull is honestly amazing and his assignments are not that hard if you read the textbook. There are only two tests, but if you review the hw assignments you should be fine. I didn't think it was a hard class and I definitely look forward to taking him again for BUS 1B this fall. Also, he gives extra credit and it boosts your grade by 2%
This professor is terrible. Trust me I seen the reviews so I gave him a try and I instantly regret it. He doesnt know how to work canvas so its even harder. He wants all work to be turned in before the due date literally will deduct points if you turn it in 2 days before. But hey .. take him and youll see dont take my word for it. Best to all.
Beware! don't take him! He can care less about the students speacially during Covid-19 times. He gives an awful lot of work and replys with smart remarks very unprofessional. Take a buisness class from a professor that actually has a business !
Not what I expected. Hate to say it but I will never take him again.
I took professor Hull's Business 1A class over fall 2020 (Covid-19 was present). I thought that this class was quite a bit of work, especially for not hearing from the professor a lot. Pay attention to everything, or you won't pass. Uses an external tool. Not a class you can procrastinate in. He was never really present for the accelerated class.
Im taking this class during the fall semester and its just been a hectic ride. The professor does not provide detailed lectures and mixes up work with honors and regular students.. its just very confusing. I was hoping he would understand what hes doing but thats not the case.
My friend recommended me to this professor before COVID-19. Im very disappointed on why I listened to her, yes he is terrible.
If taken during covid-19 learning, be prepared to read the chapters on your own. I took the accelerated version of the class, and boy was there a lot of reading for each chapter! there were no zoom meetings but each week we would get a video update from professor and he responded to emails quickly. tests were not too hard and based off homework.
Not sure what all the negative comments are about. I took Hull for Bus1A & 1B & I really appreciated that all of his lectures, assignments, etc. were posted prior to start of the semester. You knew exactly what to expect for the entire course & could pace yourself. His class was organized & straight forward, nothing came out of left field.
I don't know what these bad reviews are talking about, Hull is honestly a great professor. He is very worldly and it is clear through his lectures how he connects things to everyday life. He's a very understanding guy and is there for office hours if you don't understand. I'm taking him again for 1B and I am ready for it! Definitely take him!
I took him for Fall and I dont see how he has good reviews.. Im trying to get my MBA and Kurt Hull just ruined that path for me. His lectures dont make sense and when I reached out he took a while to respond .. unprofessional in my opinion. Dont take him if you are majoring in business!
Prof. Hull did a great job in our online class, not sure what the bad reviews are about. You'd have to purposefully try to fail, in order to get an F in the class.
Amazing professor, super funny, and very wise. He takes his time to teach everyone how to work out problems and is very communicative. His class was relatively easy. You will pass as long as you do the hw and quizzes. Tests can be hard but he helps your prepare for them and its everything you have been doing. Also drops the lowest test
I had him for 1A and took him again for 1B. We had started off in person but switched completely online due to coivd, but considering most of his coursework required online access already the transition was easy and felt the same as in person. Hes the best BUS professor at Elco. Super funny and advises on real life stuff a total no BS person.
His discussions were always thought provoking, he posed questions on top of questions and interacted with every student despite this being an online course. Absolutely great Professor.
This class is manageable but get ready to teach yourself. The teacher does not teach you at all how to do any of the work problems. He reiterates the reading and it does not help you when it comes to solving any of the applicable problems. "group project" unless they don't respond, then you have to do the entire project to still get credit.
Easy class. The professor responds fast to emails and is very helpful. Took this for the last 8 weeks semester. It is very easy and manageable but definitely doesn't recommend procrastinating.
Class consist of two weekly assignments that are time consuming, however they prepare you for the tests. Tests make up majority of grade. You stay with the same group for all group projects. Prerecorded lectures are timestamped and easy to follow. Professor is reasonable and rounds final grades. Also offers weekly study sessions highly recommended.
I definitely learned in this class. It's an easy pass as long as you keep up with the homework assignments and tests.
Overall this guy really makes something as dull as accounting worth learning. He has a great personality that's easy to connect with and he is thoroughly educated on everything in accounting. Absolutely recommend.
Must study to Pass. Test weight alot no extra credit or late work. Be organized and on top of due dates. Every point count so yes do the assignment NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.
Very helpful professor! I took his class two times. Really enjoyed it. Allowed a cheat sheet on tests and let you take practice exams as many times as you want.
Great professor! Online practice exams were very similar to the actual one. For the exams you were allowed a cheat sheet front and back. He also dropped the lowest test score.
This was a tough class but it was also only 8 weeks and online. We completed 2-3 chapters weekly and had to complete homework, quizzes and tests on the smart books website. The website was very helpful with studying
Best professor. He actually cares about what he is teaching and makes a mundane subject better. Provides his own templates and has plenty of practice during class to really solidify the info and takes the time to explain anything you don't understand. Also has plenty of life experience on the topics which makes for a memorable teaching style. 10/10
Great Professor! Took his class two semester for Bus150 & Bus151. I would recommend you to take him, really made me understand accounting more than I expected. As long as you are attending the class and you are keeping up with the assignments and paying attention, you'll do fine. Doesn't give extra credit but grading is not harsh.
Don't bother taking the class online, he will change it to in-person without telling you or bothering to email you. Only after you have paid for an online class, he will mess up your schedule without a care in the world. Find another teacher if you want to keep your sanity.
I got ptsd from this class
Professor Hull is hands down one of the best professors I've had. Extremely experienced, knowledgable, and passionate when it comes to business, I intend on taking his class again. His lectures are paced professionally and naturally, and not to mention, he's a pretty funny guy altogether. Hard to find a negative about him in my honest opinion.
If you want to learn about accounting, he is the guy. If you just want credit, then skip. I was the just wanted a credit person but converted to actually want to learn about accounting. I learned about accounting so much. HE WILL TAKE ATTENDANCE, HE WILL PICK ON YOU. But picking on me from no where motivated me study more and master accounting.
60% of your grade is based on exams. Exams are proctored. There are no extra credit options. Homework and exams are off of McGraw Hill so homework is pretty time consuming.
Mr Hull is dry but an excellent teacher. I took the condensed online course Accounting 150. Tough. I like him SO much better than the professor I have now. He gets back to you quickly, his emails aren't curt, he adds context to his lectures and when meeting on zoom, has an actual sense of humor! Stay organized, keep up and you'll do fine.
This may be the worst class and teacher I have ever gotten/taken. Kurt does nothing to help the students learn and gives no extra credit or make up work. the tests are proctered and make up your whole grade basically. Also about 10 hours of hmwrk each week. Don't know how someone could like this guy, AVOID THIS TEACHER AT ALL COSTS!
Prof. Hull's teaching style is straightforward. Expectations are always clear. Lectures are never under-stimulating thanks to his ability to charismatically sprinkle in personal anecdotes that are relevant to the course material. Show up, read the material, do the homework, take the practice exams, and surely you will pass having learned something!
He's a straightforward teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you want to pass with a good grade, I would say it is. He takes attendance every class and locks doors after a few minutes. He's won't give you answers so use the tutor provided in class. Everything is done through McGraw. No extra credit. No retakes. He will call on you in class.
This teacher gave extremely clear lectures, clear instructions, and perfect pacing to prepare me for the midterm exam and final exam. If you do all the homework, you will be prepared, and you will be glad he gave you so much homework, because you will be prepared. I like him a lot better than my current accounting teacher. I miss Professor Hull.
