Easy A! Lectures may be extremely boring but he's a pretty good teacher. Allows one full page of notes (front and back) for every midterm and for the final, 4 pages of notes. Accounting is a bad subject for me but i actually understood everything in the end

Im sorry this guy has to be one of the most eaisist teacher ever in Accounting he lets you use a full page of note front to back plus I never relly study at all and ended up with a B

Slow but very clear. Easy tests. Open note easy to get an A on every test.

class is easy. if you put in 30 minutes a day studying, you will get an A.

ignore these jerks. he is a great teacher, its not his fault the subject matter is just boring. He prepares you well for the tests, tells you what problems they will be so no surprises. easy A if you put a little effort, no excuses! thanks mr. O!

He's a cool guy with lots of intention to teach. If you are apply for UC Santa Cruz or in general question about SC ask him. He loves to talk about it:)

he's a very good teacher I don't know why this other person dont like him. anyway, his class is really easy and he's not strict about absences or late. He tells you exactly what's on the test with open notes and the test is really easy. easy A in his class!

Great teacher.

amazing teacher teaches really well not much effort reqd for this class ..ur allowed one pg of notes for the exams if ever get a chance take him ..lil bit of hw and not strict on attendance .exremely helpful and one of the nicest ppl ull meet thannks alot mr .osborne ur class was definitely worth taking

Good teacher. He knows what he is talking about. His grading is pretty easy. Just show your effort on each assignment, and you'll get full credit on each of those. He gave us a lot of extra credit too. Highly recomended.

His explanations and exams are straight to the point.

Scott is greeeeeeeeeeat, one of the easiest accounting professors @ De Anza. Tests are streaight forward, and easy since you can use one page of notes front and back. Lots of extra-credit. Highly recommend him for all accounting classes.

knowledable, helpful teacher....u have many chances to bring your grade up...just do your part and you'll get good grades

"Mr. Accounting" Osborne is a wizard in accounting and such a nice guy. He's amazingly good at conveying the big picture and bringing all elements of acct together. If you're going donwn the business/econ/acct road, you'd be crazy to take anyone else.

Scott works hard to ensure clarity and easiness for all his students. He's very friendly and yes I'd agree he's very patient yet energetic when it comes to lecture time.

Scott is knowledgeable, and enjoys teaching. He is very helpful and kind, he is energetic when it comes to lectures and tests. Lots of extra credit. Highly recommended

Excellent , patient and kind. Highly recommend. Explains well and attentive.

I really don't know why he's got such a bad rap? I think he is the first Accounting teacher I have ever had where I actually understand the process of ACCT....granted some of his jokes are corny as hell but so far Scott is one of my favorite teachers at De Anza

i was not interested in accounting, but i could understand the contents and got a A. exams were hella easy because it comes from examples.

Scott is a really laid-back teacher. I had him for both 1A and 1B. He lets the students use a page of notes of the tests, front and back, which totally helps. He asks to be Scott because he says when people call him Mr.Osborne he starts looking around to see if his father is around-LOL- Classic, I love it. Wonderful and explains everything: GO SCOT

he's very nice and helpful. midterms are 2 parts. first day is working out problem(s) and second day is multiple choice. the first day is easy but the multiple choice is a bit hard. not a lot of extra credit but if you study you will definitely get an A.

He rocks Not that he is the clearest or you will get everything from lectures read the book come 2 class not for attendance quizes and group work that really help do some xtra cr you will get an A. I care about my GPA invested some work got A + he drops the lowest test score u can screw up once and still get A some life lessons and jokes too ;)

A great teacher. Drops your lowest test, project, quiz, and homework. Read before and after lecture. take good notes, make the open-test note sheet for the midterms. Do extra credit (ALOT OF WAYS!) attend friday class. He's a really nice guy, answers ur questions. good for beginners in acctg, explains stuff clearly and well! Take for 1A,1B, 1C!

mr osborne ROCKS!! i didnt learn much from his lectures, but his exams are really really easy if you read the text. the only reason one should attend class is to find out what he expects on the test and to get extra credit. its hard to fail his class. he is a cool guy. im still taking the class, but i can already guess what i will get =).

I have to agree, his teaching is not the best or clearest! But every exam (4 of them) comes with study guide, light homework(1-2 Q per chapter), easy class projects, LOTS of extra credit. Take him!

I actually really liked him! He was clear and if you have any doubts, he takes the time to help you. If you do the work, then you get the A. Take him! AND he lets you use a page of notes on the midterms!

Good teacher, teaches alternative methods (simpler than in the book); fun group projects and games;he allows to bring notes on the exams.Exam previews very helpful, easy to get an A. Wish I had taken his other classes.

Easy A!!! must take him if you wanna get an A. Lots of extra credits to push you grade. At the end of the quarter just submit an essay you can get a maximum percentage grade up to 3%. One paged of notes you can bring in mid-term and 2 paged notes for final. He will exactly tell you what will appear in the exams so don't worry.

very easy class to get A, but very hard to get A+ because he will discard all your the extra credits if you almost get A plus . attendance is very important since there will be a little quiz. never be late he will give u extra credit if u come on time (esp friday!) he is the best accting teacher ive ever had so far,very organized, very helpful

Hard to get A+ :( His teaching method is boring (maybe he is too old?) But, he is really nice. An easy class.

i took acct 1a, 1b and i'm taking 1c with him rite now. he is an esay A cos he allows like 2 pages of notes for 3 midterms and a final n the lowest midterm gets dropped. u gives extra credit(max 3%) n gives hints b4 exams. the only prob is that the classes r on fridays n sometimes his hints r totally useless. n there r projects to do in his class

He's a good teacher such an esay class!helpful go to his office hours hw are easy a lot of extra credits

He is great. Take him!

Scott is a great teacher. I learned a lot from his class. He provides great examples and helps you succeed. There are unannounced one day projects and quizzes so make up to go to class everyday. A page of notes for the midterms is allowed and two pages for the final. I took him for 1A & 1B. I wish I took him for 1C as well. Take Scott for 1A-1C!

3 mid terms, Online quizzes and hw, all of which the lowest grade gets dropped. 1 page front and back of notes for tests 2 for final. Long and short group project. He is very clear with what is on the tests and final. Lots of opportunities for extra credit! By far the best teacher I have had at De Anza

he is very easy, and nice.very clear study guide, clear teaching method, clear grading scale. he is a fast grading teacher, everything is clear and easy to follow. great if u r an international student.

This class was very fun. The group & game activities that we did in class help learning the material efficiently. Gov acctg is confusing according to many people that I talked to, so don't be discouraged by previous comments posted here. Do your homework & group activities, read the chapter & u s/b fine. Getting an A is possible. Enjoy!!!

Scott is one of the best professors I've had. He is very clear about the concepts he wants you to learn. His teats are fair. He has online quizes and in-class group pop quizes. He drops the lowest test, quiz, and homework. Doing the extra credit can boost your grade 4%. Take his class!

OSBOURNE IS THE MAN! HE CREDITS FOR EFFORT AND NOT JUST CORRECTNESS. HE OFFER LOTS OF E.C, DROPS THE LOWEST EXAM. HAS A LOT OF CPA AND AUDITING EXPERIENCE. TAKE HIS CLASS FOR 1B FOR SURE. DO HAVE TO ATTEND CLASS BASICALLY EVERYDAY IF YOU WANT TO GET A LOT OF HW AND IN CLASS POINTS. PRETTY EASY TO PULL A B GRADE OR HIGHER

SCOTT IS AWESOME!! He is by far the best teacher I have had at De Anza He is super helpful, lets you use notes on the exam, and if you put in a decent amount of effort and show up to class you can easily get an A in the class. Accounting is hard, so dont expect to put in little to no effort and get a good grade, Scott is extremely fair.

He is a great teacher! Three midterms, drops lowest. Notes for all midterms/final. Does a lot of group work and a few projects. Homework online and gives GENEROUS amount of extra credit. He tells you exactly what will be on midterms. Read the textbook,listen in class and you are all set! Makes 1b not as hard as people say

Scott is a great guy. I am just sad that he didn't allow us to call our group name, "Scott's Secret Lovers." Anyway, here is how you can get an A-- do all homework, show up to class everyday for projects and quizzes (all open note and graded on effort), do all EC, get good midterm grades and then you will have a lot of pts to spare for the final!

I have taken Scott since accounting 1A, -understanding, doesn't make you memorize all the account name, where they go, how you calculate them. lets you use 1 sheet of notes (front and back) and on the final he lets you use 2. 3tests+final, online hw/quizzes and in class projects, but lowest grade gets dropped for each group. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!

This teacher is the best and easy A gives u plenty extra credit and you can use notes on test and final which helps alot

BEST TEACHER THAT I HAVE HAD SO FAR, MAKES ME LOVE ACCOUNTING 3 TESTS, NO ONLINE QUIZZES, ONLINE HW, IN CLASS GROUP QUIZZES, ONE DAY PROJECTS (SINGLE/GROUP)LET'S YOU USE ONE PAGE (2 SIDES) ON NOTES ON TESTS, FINAL (LET'S U USE 2 PAGES), OFFERS MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXTRA CREDIT. 1 SHORT TERM PROJECT AND 1 LONG TERM GROUP PROJECT: NOT HARD TO DO

You have to do ur work thats all. Very nice teacher, easy B

For Accounting 1B, Scott is a really easy professor. He allows notes on the exams which is really helpful. Although, his teaching method is mediocre at best so I ended up learning some of the materials myself. Highly recommended for 1B, easy as long as you attend the class and do the work.

If you're looking for an easy A professor but not really learning and understanding the material well, take him.

he's a GREAT guy! believe me. He's passion and always willing to help students. One class for homework correction so u sure will understand the material. He repeats important thing for exam and long term projects many times so if u did miss a class, you could still get the information on the next day of class.

He is my favorite professor in College.H e helps students a lot and trust me that you will learn what you want. Of course, Super easy A teahcer

He is such a nice teacher and easy. Here is to earn an easy A. Prepare allowed note before exam. Final exam allowes you to use 2 notes. Do the full extra credit maybe 5 to 6% (Some you don't need if uou got good midterms grades.) Do the projects and long term project. then you get an A.

Professor Osborne is one of the best professors I have taken at De Anza! Everyone who says they didn't learn anything probably didn't care to. He allows a page of notes because in the real accounting world, you always have a reference. If you do your work and study, you'll get an A! Looking forward to 1B and 1C with Osborne!

excellent teacher! Scott is very nice and helpful. I took his 3 quarters of his acct classes. Mid terms and finals were easy as he gave you study guides. Also curved the finals. Whenever you need help, he would be glad to help you. Highly recommand.

Take him....he lets me fall in love with accounting. Study hard ,easy A.

Mr. Osborne is a very nice and helpful teacher. He posts all the lectures online and offers many extra credit opportunities. The homework is online and there are 3 midterms (with the lowest score dropped) plus a final. If you study and take good notes you should have no problem getting an A.

To pass accounting you really need to apply the stuff you learn in class that means you need to do the homework!! that's what helped me understand the concepts. Homework every week, 3 tests (lowest dropped), 1 page of notes on the tests. Occasional in class quizzes (but you can work w/ a partner) Great teacher. I'm taking his 1B class now! :)

Scott is a wonderful professor and person. He is extremely organized and prepares every student very well for his exams. His class consists of weekly online HW, 2 long-term projects,3 exams, and a final. He offers numerous extra credit opportunities and 1 pg of notes for each test; 2 pg on final. One of best instructors at De Anza. Take him.

Scott is a great professor and person. He posts all notes and class online. Class consists of weekly online HW (unlimited attempts), two projects, 3 exams (1 pg notes per exam), and a final (2 pg notes). Scott is very helpful and prepares students for all exams. Offers numerous extra credit opportunities. One of the best professors at De Anza.

Took Scott for acct 1A and 1B. This class is super easy. 3 midterms, drops the lowest. HW is online but you have unlimited attempts. Quizzes occasionally and one day projects (easy). Accounting isn't hard but it's like math where you have to apply what you learned in class to your homework then you'll understand. Scott is an awesome professor! :D

Took Scott for all 1A, 1B, and 1C. Honestly the easiest accounting teacher at De Anza. Do the Extra credit adjunct skills program. That will help you on midterms! Do the Hw, Try your best to show up for quizzes and one day projects and you should pass this class easily.

Scott is an extremely helpful and caring for his students. He is very organized and posts all lecture notes online. Weekly HW on cengage with unlimited trials. 3 midterms (drops lowest) and 1 final. Tells you the type of problems that will make up 86% of each test. Offers 4% extra credit if you enroll in ADJUNCT program. Take him

3 midterms & he drops the lowest, 1 final, and a group project which he lets you work on it on Friday lab days. He offers lots of extra credit. 4% extra credit if you take adjunct which are helpful on midterms. Showing up is not mandatory especially bc he posts all his lectures on Catalyst or his website! TAKE HIM!

Although he has guides for tests, i really recommend taking the adjunct class if it is available because he gives the student instructors a study guide that will basically be the same as the midterm and or final. You still have to put in alot of work to get a passing grade and as long as you ask for help pay attention do the HW you'll pass

Osborne is really helpful and clear. He offers a lot of extra credit and point scoring opportunities, which is great. He is to the point and teaches what we really need to know.

online acct 1C- Weekly hw & quizes ,which are very manageable. Reading is mandatory if you want a respectable grade. There is 1 online multi choice midterm (which is easy) & 1 campus final which was tricky (counts for big chunk of your grade), but you get to have notes. He was very responsive to email and his assignments are clear and organized.

Scott is the BEST accounting teacher! His tests are just like the online homework! Copy down homework problems/answers on the one sheet of notes he allows on each test - AND YOU WILL RECEIVE AN A!

Nice prof.

Great professor! Overall his class is pretty easy if you show up, take notes and do homework. All his exams are based on the homework and he basically tells you what would be on all the 3 midterms and final. He also allows 1 sheet of notes front and back.

I took Professor Osborne's Accounting 1A class last quarter and I would take it again 1oo times over. He lets you use a study sheet for all three exams and the final! He does talk a lot and I understand why some students find his lectures to be boring but he's repetitive which is very helpful come exams and quizzes. He's strict on homework and getting help from Adjunct skills (if you need it) but overall, super easy and straightforward. For any accounting class, you MUST read and PRACTICE. He just makes things a bit easier by showing you instead of letting you think for yourselves.

Professor Osborne is the best!!!! Lots of extra credits in his class!!!!!

He's not a terrible professor, but his lectures are boring. It's an easy A, gives a lot of extra credit. Definitely an easy grader on tests unlike Mello brothers. Recommend taking Osborne for 1B, but not 1A since I don't think you'll understand every fundamentals. Overall a great caring person!

I took Scott for accounting 1A, 1B, and 1C. He is the best! Cengage homework Is easy, but actually helps you learn. A very forgiving grader, many in class quizzes but as long as you put in effort you get full credit. Two group projects that are very straight forward. Clear criteria and you get a page of notes on all midterms and final!

I love Osborne! 3 Midterms, 1 final, and 1 group project, but 1 midterm is dropped. Cengage hw is easy. He's is willing to help you the best he can if you go to his office hours. I recommend the Adjunct program, b/c the prac. tests were almost exactly like the actuals and you get 4% extra to your grade (ex. 89%-->93%). VERY nice teacher. TAKE HIM!

His explanations are easy to understand and clear! However lectures are boring. Exams were very easy. Gives lots of extra credit!

Scott is a good Professor! You will need to familiarize yourself w/chapter work, then he lectures on the chapter and you complete an online quiz/homework from there. Do your work and get a good grade. It's almost solely lecture (review) and there's a lot of independent learning (hybrid class). He gives extra credit and is also very responsive.

Great Professor! I've chosen to come back to re-review this solid choice as an experienced student. Prof. Osborne is thorough and passionate, he teaches so accounting stays with you. Great online program coupled with supporting review lectures. Weekly chapter HW & quiz, fun projects and extra credit opportunities. He wants you to understand Acct.

If you have to take accounting, take him! Absolutely loved him for 1B and 1C also. He made accounting so fun and he's really nice with grading. 1 page allowed for all three midterms and 2 pages allowed for final. There's two group projects at the end but they're doable (find a good group). If he is teaching, take him! Loved his class :)

Took him for ACCT 1A-1C. You can use notes, talk to classmates, and book for the quizzes and he reveals answers at the end that you can just copy and turn in. 3 midterms 1 final. 1 page of notes for midterms and 2 pages for the final. You have to do the homework though otherwise it will tank your grade.

I'm so glad that I took Accounting 1b and 1c with this professor! He made accounting seem fun and easy. I love that he outlined what going to be on his exams and we got to use a page of note on each exam and 2 pages of notes on the final! If you're looking for an easy accounting teacher. Take him!

I really like Scott as a professor, he replies quickly to emails and he's very thorough in his lectures however they can be boring since the classes are two hours long. Homework is decent compared to other accounting professors, and he gives you a lot of guidance when it comes to preparing for the tests.

I took Scott for both 1A & 1B, his lectures are straight-forward and easy to understand. As long as you follow along, do the homework, and participate you'll be able to pass with no problem. I wish I could take him for 1C, but his class filled up before I could. But definitely take him, he's a great accounting professor and knows what he's doing!

I took ACCT 1A 1B 1C with Prof. Scott. He is simply the best accounting professor at De Anza. Even though he is very easy, I still learn a lot from him. He gives 3% worth of extra credit. He answers emails fast. I would definitely take him again.

Totally online class was taken but Scott provided immediate and detailed feedback if any questions arose. a few assignments every week. the online modules are garbage but aren't hard. take another professor if you can or take him in person if he's available.

Great professor!! I learned from him the most out of any professor. He is incredibly structured and forgiving and the homework is following examples from the book which really helps with comprehension. He gives you a long term accounting project via excel and it really opened my eyes on real world accounting. Please take him for 1A he's the best.

Professor Scott is very nice and a bit strict on attendance. You may easily pass the tests if you follow by his instruction and participate in exercises and assignments. Practice makes you perfect! He feedbacked and replied your email very quickly. Definitely recommended him!

Take him! Hes really nice and replies to emails really fast. All homework, quizzes, 1 midterm, and final is on Cengage. We have a few group projects that are also doable. A master budget project that you do have to work alone, but he gives us the entire quarter to work on because it does take up time to finish so try to work in the beginning!

learned a lot from him. lots of projects and groups. seems like an overload at first but it goes by quick and smoothly

The best option for Accounting classes. I took him for both 1A and 1C, and they are amazing. No scheduled zoom meetings, clear instructions for assignments, and fair grading. Replies emails really fast. Take him you won't regret it!

Don't be phased by the 3.7 rating. He deserves a 4-5 for sure. You'll see the projects and think they're gonna be hard, but let me tell you this: they're not. He gives you everything you need to know. The textbook is enough to ace the tests. His weird media lectures are pretty useless. I did well without watching them. Just look at his notes.

He's very strict on due dates, you will have no exceptions to turn in homework/quizzes late because he literally gives you a whole week to do homework not to mention you can do it ahead of time. The projects he gives are relatively easy, I didn't bother using the textbook he gave. Everything on cengage so that was cake. Easy A class.

Prof. Osborne is SUCH AN AWESOME PROFESSOR EVER HAD! The assignments and projects can be overwhelming at first, but it will be fine because he has an organized schedule of the due dates, There are three projects, 2 group and 1 individual. Very easy and if you need help, you can email the professor and he replies very fast w/ great explanations.

Time spent mostly on Cengage. Weekly textbook reading, homework, and a timed quiz that has to be taken on a certain day. Take notes and use homework/graded quizzes for study material. Current event group project, optional budget group project, and large budget project. A little hard to navigate info on Canvas but Prof is available for questions.

Amazing professor! I learned so many things even though it was all online. Everything was on Cengage basically ( weekly quizzes, midterm, and final). There were like 3 assignments on canvas which was pretty difficult but the professor can help you with it! Definitely not an easy A class but definitely recommend him but you can ACTUALLY learn a lot!

Prof. Osborne's class is asynchronous, so all of his lecture videos are pre-recorded. You can finish all of the homework ahead of time. Group work, current event, extra credit and final project is done on Canvas. Weekly chapter HWs & Quizzes (30mins, 10 MC Qs). And 1 Midterm (1.5hrs, 50 MC Qs), and Final (1.5hrs, 50 MC Qs) are all on WebAssign.

Course is very unorganized, but very manageable. Course has homework, exams, and final on Cengage, and discussions and projects through Canvas. Weekly quiz and homework set based on textbook, 1 midterm, and 1 final. Exams/final very similar to textbook/quizzes. Course has many mini projects and 2 big projects, all very doable. Would recommend.

Loved Prof. Osborne! He is super kind and caring and his lectures are super helpful! He has group projects but really helps your through them! I'm def taking him again for Acct 1C!

Took for both ACCT 1A and ACCT 1C, very good professor. Canvas can be a little confusing, just make sure to read everything and you'll understand it. Homework, Quizzes, and Exams on Cengage, discussions and projects on Canvas. Everything is doable and very straightforward. Exams are extremely similar to quizzes. Good professor, would recommend.

I learned so much from Professor Osborne. He provides incredibly helpful videos for cementing the concepts, stepping you through the process. If you aren't able to do in class and need online, this is your Professor. Heavy on the group projects but it's doable. Would definitely take him again.

Took him for both 1A and 1C. The class format is clear with weekly homework, quizzes, a couple of group assignments, and one long-term project. the assignments are clearly explained, and instructions are easy to follow. Highly recommend taking his class.

Took Managerial Accounting, easy class. Just watch lectures and do the hw. 1 assignment per week and 1 quiz. A few easy group projects and solo projects. Lectures are the most boring thing I've ever listened to, not dynamic or comprehensive, basically just reading the textbook out loud. Have to be self-reliant to understand the material.

Took ACCT 1A. Lectures and reading were very heavy. It's a good class, but Canvas instructions are super confusing it's way too much info to digest on the first week. You have a long-term project you must keep up with, plus rotating groups where many members don't participate or help, which can be frustrating. FYI, you cannot fall behind though.
