I hated accounting and I think he made it worse. He can be arrogant and most of the time goes way too fast to cover all the material that is supposed to be taught. I've changed my major because I loathed accounting so much!! and him....
I had prof. Bigget in acg101, he is a nightmare (so much homework...). Prof. Bugger's class is much easier, trust me! Prof. Bugger let's you use open book on quizes and tests, and he doesn't give that much homework. Do not take Bigget, you will regret it!
He is a very good professor, you have to work to get a good grade though.
He's awesome... I loved his class
He knowledge of the accounting world is excellent, and if he sees you working, he'll work with you. You have to come to class and do the HW, but if you do the work and come to class, you should understand the concepts. I made sure to take his ACG2 class next spring, and no other professors -- I learned a lot and think he's a great teacher.
He is the best professor I had by far. Very helpful, knows his subject really well and knows how to teach it.
OMG, this teacher has a whole new way to teach. It is awesome. You buy the book, you read the book, he lectures once a week, and then you practically teach yourself accounting. WOW! I literally dropped this class due to the ton of homework he assigned. If you take this class, dont bother taking any others at the same time. He keeps you too busy
I took Prof Bugger for Accounting II. He's relatively better than other accounting professors at edison. He at time comes across as a knows it all. A lot of homework. Challenging quiz and tests. He acts sarcastic sometimes. Bring taco bell, he loves it ..LOL If you put in the time & effort and study, should be able to pass with an A.
I loved Prof. B. I took him for the past 3 years of account I, II & Managerial. His class is all about studying and reading the book is a must!! If you do around 20 hours of account a week you'll pass with no issues.
The thought of Bugger's class makes me shake, but mostly because it's accounting, and accounting is horrible. Bugger himself does a really, really superb job of giving people who aren't accountants the right mindset, and overall I would highly recommend him.
I took Professor Bugger's Accounting 1 class online. It was the worst experience I have ever had with a professor. He never responded to emails. He would unlock tests online and have them due before we even covered the chapters. He also didn't update his exams from the old text books. Teaching myself accounting was incredibly difficult.
This professor is a complete moron. He does not respond to emails (a common complaint about him)he's unbending and he's unreasonable. Instead of teaching, he tricks his students and laughs. Also, he enjoys using intimidating language such as " most of my students don't pass my class"--He's right. Avoid him.
Prof. Bugger is the best he tells you what to study for on the test, he does give alot og homework but he explains the subject very well..... accounting is boring on a whole but the teacher is a most all you have to do is just read the book, go to class and do the exercises.....i hate accounting but i got an A.
I just finished taking prof. Bugger for accounting and I all I would like to say to him is step down and let somebody else who is more qualified and more in touch with the students.
He is very helpful & accommodating to students and very knowledgeable. Gives a lot of credits but you have to do your part as a student. Do the homeworks and read the book.
In this case, I would say to avoid the negative comments. Toward the end of the semester, I had a B-...somehow when I got my final grades, i received an A!! He drops about 5-7 quizzes, there's a project after ch7, online and in-class tests...Wileyplus was awesome! That's where you turn in homework and can also study for tests.
This guy doesn't even know where the quizzes are. He thinks they're in "Assignments" they're not! They're in "Assessments." Another thing about him is that he doesn't subtract seven quizzes from the final, that's a lie/misnomer. Avoid him--he doesn't know where he's at.
I don't know what all the negativity is about. I wouldn't take ACG online, anyways. He is a great professor. Honestly, he is one of the best professors I've had at Edison. He does teach, he gives great test reviews, drops a bunch of quizes, doubles up the project points... Come on!
He is a really great teacher. His teaching is very clear and understandable. He's also a very nice guy and very helpful. I took him for all of my accounting classes and I got an A in all of them. I truly recommend him.
I would not recommend taking his online classes, even blended. It is very hard to communicate with him via email. When he teaches in class, he is very clear in answering questions and even helps students memorize tons of formulae. I don't recommend taking accounting class online. You need to be in class for this kind of course.
Pay attention and ask questions when you have them. Pr. Bugger is an excellent accounting teacher. He willingly takes time out of his schedule to meet with you to discuss your grade, where you need work, and/or better explain accounting. My advice: Take notes, read, study, do the execises, and the extra credit and you should get an A!
Took the class online and taught myself Accounting I, which was NOT easy. No feedback or communication from him at all. Took him 2 weeks to answer a question I had about an assignment, long after I needed a response to turn it in. Sounds like he's tough but a good teacher in class, but don't take him online! Much harder than it should have been.
He is very helpful and explains things very well. I love his class. If you have a lot of questions in your mind, don't be afraid to ask.
Pr. Bugger is an amazing teacher. He applied practical knowledge to help make the subject relative to students. He knows accounting and cares about his students. The class was intersting and challenging.YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK,if you do he'll work with you and you'll get a good grade.He's an awesome teacher. One of the best I have ever encountered!
AWESOME!!!!
Bugger talks to you like an idiot if you answer a question wrong in class, and then make mistakes constantly while teaching. He hands out extra credit like candy because otherwise everybody would fail (although the students usually suck too) and acts like you're bugging him if you visit his office. Egotistical and sometimes unreasonable, but easy.
Worst teacher ever. First class I ever failed a test in. Our class average was below 70% every test... Tell you something about the teacher? Yep, terrible.
I had no problem getting A's on his tests because I studied hard, if I had any problems he would spend as much time in the class as necessary to clarify until I got it and everyone else in the room got it. He taught us how to get the most from any text book and strives to get you to think critically. Awesome Prof!
never is around to get help by, doesnt return emails DONT TAKE
LOUSY Teacher--Weekly class became blended, blended became--you're on your own! Month of July--no class, no help, no response to emails. Classwork was review of homework assignments--THIS CLASS IS SELF-TAUGHT BY STUDENT USING THE TEXT. Take any other professor but this one--he's too busy with his "life"
He compared students with idiot people in an audotorium.... "if you ask you're an idiot, but you should ask in order to understand" ah?!!!! This professor is very prejudiced against people from other countries.... (like only north americans talked English or could get a CPA credential). His class is boring not only because the topics but also becau
This is an online cours, No feedback from professor, I wonder if he is real. Graded assignments only have a grade no other information as to how grade was calculated. This seems like we are teaching ourselves, not sure why have to pay for this course.
Not really there to check on students progress, not really sure how these online classes work, but my other online class professor has weekly check ins and leaves comments next to grades about our work.
Pretty upfront about what needs to be done, just have it done on time and turn it in. Fair on grading, Didn't know Pages and Word were different and he gave me time to change format and turn it in, instead of being late.
Great professor. Easy to work with and fair.
This was a pretty fair and clear class. As long as you do your work and complete the assignments by the due date, it will not be difficult to receive a high grade!
Class was very easy, read the text, get everying done on time and you will be successful. Professor not very responsive, or lacking feedback. Overall if I had to take again, I would rather a different professor.
Nice guy
For class sls1331. Class was well structured and easy to navigate. I liked the fact the class was opened from day one so we could work at our own pace. The professor didn't respond to e-mail though and the only way I could get in touch with him was by telephone at his office.
This was an On-Line course. Prof. Bugger is willing to work with students having a hard time meeting the assignment deadlines. thank you Prf. Bugger
This was an online course. Professor Bugger made this class very easy to follow. He is there when you need him. There are not that many assignments.
The amount of time given between chapters/assignments was more than sufficent. The class was really informational.
The syllabus outlined the assignments and due dates and opened most of assignments with the exception of the tests at the beginning of the semester. You were able to work at your own pace. The Professor was laid back and flexible with due dates.
Nice class, instructor able, assigments distributed with enough time in between, I will recomended this profesor.
Teacher is extremely unorganized. Often will let messages go on unanswered. Assignments take several weeks to be graded. His syllabus isn't update and filled with errors such as his online content for canvas. You WILL BE LEARNING THIS ON YOUR OWN, if this class is taken online or blended. If you must take him: USE TUTORS! Good luck.
I have had Professor Bugger for two classes now and I plan on taking him again in the fall. He is very helpful if you have any question or problems with both homework and quizes. He makes accounting both fun and enjoyable.
Not helpful, Syllabus is out-dated,you will basically be teaching yourself. Seems he is afraid to give students tools available to help them learn because he is afraid they will cheat.Spends too much time talking about himself.I was disappointed and frustrated the entire semester,wish I had dropped the class and taken someone else
Professor was not patience with student. Belittled students whenever a question was asked. You are better off teaching yourself online, then to attend his class.
This professor made it very clear that he had no interest in helping students and was just in this for a paycheck.I would ask a question about the class and he would take days to respond and usually with only a few words or a snide comment.A CPA helped me and my partner with the final project and somehow we got different grades for the same project
Professor Bugger is one of the few teachers in Edison that will challenge you. You are expected to know curriculum before coming to class, do not expect an easy A. He is without a doubt a good teacher and expects nothing from the best out of his students. PLEASE READ: most of the assignments are online if you need the assistance.
Syllabus outdated and unreliable, must rely on professor to know coming up assignments and due dates. All quizzes and tests done in connect but no access to review them for the final which was in class. Work hard and read! Professor is fair and a good guy.
Excellent Professor! The material is tough. Professor Bugger makes accounting fun. He provides great examples and has years of accounting experience. Stay on top of the material! Get 100's on every homework! You can take practice tests for every test! Professor Bugger will give you everything you need to succeed. Success demands diligence in acctg!
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! Be prepared to teach yourself. Work load is ridiculous; he "teaches" fast and if you don't get it, you'd better be able to ignore his sarcastic remarks. He doesn't respond to emails, and when he makes a mistake it's still your grade that suffers. AVOID HIM LIKE THE PLAGUE!
Excellent Professor, Very helpful, Pay attention do your homework, quizzes and tests and you'll do fine
Best professor I have ever had. He teaches well and WILL help you if you seek him out.
Professor Bugger is very good teacher. Doing your homework is mandatory to learn accounting and if you are willing to do that work, you will do great in his class. Professor Bugger always said that the class would be very hard, but I found the class pretty easy. Exams were slightly too easy and he offers too much extra credit. Class is like free A.
Fails to teach the class. Relies on the students to learn the material on their own time. Gets distracted easily and has difficulty connecting with students. Class time is usually wasted reviewing old material instead of teaching us the new lessons. Would not recommend to anyone genuinely interested in accounting-- completely ruined it for me.
Awesome Professor! I wish he was teaching Managerial Accounting!
He is the best accounting professor you will ever have a chance to take, don't be stupid, take him if he is available.
Professor Bugger is an awesome Professor! He inspired me to change my major from business management to accounting. The material isn't easy. The people that gave less than stellar reviews of professor Bugger probably failed the class because they failed to be diligent. There are few accounting professors out there that are as good as he is.
Dropped the class in the first week! Sent Leroy Bugger 2 emails asking about the syllabus and the work and waited 2 days he gave no response. Canvas was all chaotic and had another teachers name on this class. I called the number on the syllabus -it was a wrong number. I don't understand why they have "teachers" like this?
Professor Bugger is a great teacher. I must start by saying that if you want to get an easy A then do not take him, now if you really want to learn about accounting then definitely take professor Bugger he has a lot of knowledge and he is willing to help you outside the class if you go to the accounting lab looking for extra help. I had an A.
Bugger is an awesome professor. Just be aware that he might eat you alive at any point, but if you complete your homework in timely fashion I'd say you're pretty safe. He might be the best guy for accounting at FSW. His classes are easy, but sometimes he is too reliant on group work. Thus, try to sit next to someone who seems at least half bright.
Took online. He has online office hours, so only expect a response during those times. Assigned 1 ch of HW (max 10 Qs) and ch quiz (28-30 Qs) each week. 4 chpts to a test. Tests are taken online at home (50 Qs). Final taken at Testing Center. Definitely a time consuming class. Not hard but not easy either. Will need textbook to teach yourself.
Can't believe he gave me a 50% for 3 of my cases for not commenting on other student's work when it wasn't mentioned anywhere. It's ridiculous to take half a grade off for the case. In addition, you do too many tests (4) plus a final exam. Takes long to respond to emails. If you had a problem, you might get help before you see a response from him.
Professor Bugger is very nice, however I feel as though he catered to the kids who showed up unprepared. If you are a good student and have read the chapter before class and attempted the homework then going to class is almost a waste of time. Spent lot of my time In accounting lab on homework. Overall not bad class but needs to change final .
He expects you to teach yourself and constantly brags about how high his fail rate is. He will say something is on a test then skips teaching it and tells us to read it and learn it on our own.
I have to do all by myself . He answer the emails late or not. Homework were very long and difficult, the grades were late so you don't know how are you doing. You do not have support, and he give too much homework that consuming a lot of nights and weekends. The subject is very interesting.
I am now pursuing a B.S. in accounting. I highly recommend taking his classes. He makes everything easy to understand and you can tell he loves what he does. Be prepared and you will succeed. Read, do hw, ask ?s. This is an intro class. He is preparing you for what is to come. Of course it is going to be hard but trust me, it is only the beginning.
More of a self taught type of class. He lectures from the text/PowerPoint and gives real life examples. Chapter homework and quizzes due just about every week. Overall the professor would like to see everyone pass, but the exams are extremely difficult. Be sure to study all chapters for listed for the module exams.
he's a no nonsense kind of guy but still really cares. he's a cpa so he's very knowledgeable about accounting. midterm and final are in class but the rest of the work is online. there's an overwhelming amount of stuff u need to know and he cant focus on it all. expect to teach urself a bit. it's a tough class if u dont put in the effort.
This is one of those classes where you'll have to work a decent amount of time to get a good grade. I think any average person is capable of getting an A in this course, it just really depends on how serious you are about succeeding. That being said, Professor Bugger is a CPA and is the man to teach you accounting if you need to take it.
This professor did not respond quickly, if at all to my emails and questions on the course. He doesn't grade your work till much later so you wont know how you are truly doing. There were discussions through the course that were not graded till 2 days before the final. Doesn't comment on your work or give feedback. worst course ive taken online.
People fail to understand that accounting is not an easy subject and will be difficult for most people no matter who the professor is. Professor Bugger is a great teacher and cares about his students.
Be prepared to work for your grade. He's rough around the edges, but a wonderful professor. He expects you to already read the chapter he'll be teaching in class that day. The textbook is absolutely necessary. Take advantage of his office hours if you have questions. Overall, he's a nice guy and he cares for his students.
A class worth taking, so make sure you really want to get an AS on Business or Accounting, because if not, then drop out. He was hard because he is an actual teacher that won't hold your hands to pass a class. The key to pass his class is to do all the work online, get as much %100 possible on hw, 80% at most on quizzes and 78% on tests. Be ready.
Took a 3 hour night class with him and he only let us leave early once. He walks around to students desks while working on exercises and makes them feel dumb in front of the class if they aren't doing a problem right. Always would talk down to us and make us feel like we weren't intelligent. Never can be wrong.
I give him 3/10 at best, that's because there were times he was very responsive and helpful, but overall he was very lazy with grading and at times he was non-responsive for well over a week to the point I had to ask my advisor with help on my mid-term, other students experienced the same! HW assignments weren't graded until the last week.
If you're not required to take this class, drop it! It's the worst one I've ever had at FSW. The professor is an extremely tough grader, lacks communication, and doesn't provide any way for you to better understand the chapters. I was shocked to start receiving C's on quizzes after spending hours and hours studying.
The class is extremely difficult. I recommend you to take it on campus if at all possible. Professor isn't super helpful if you run into problems. Two proctored exams (midterm and final) are very difficult, no notes, or calculators allowed (except the calculator provided on screen). All tests/quizzes are timed and you are likely to run out of time.
He does not make this class easy, but you definitely learn the material. I think he explains things very well and sometimes he actually makes class fun. Really a great professor for a terrible class nobody wants to take. He's a great guy.
This is the hardest class EVER oh my God! if you don't need this class DO NOT take it. Professor Bugger isn't that bad, I don't take it online and definitely don't recommend anyone take it online. A lot of negative comments directed at the professor are false, the class is just REALLY HARD. Try to get 100% on the homeworks!! it will help.
SO. Freaking. Hard. I am a straight A student and I could barely pass this class. So much work. Expect 2-3 hours a night of just THIS homework. Quizzes are terrible. 3 difficult essays due at the end of the semester. If you do not need this class DON'T TAKE IT.
FSW needs more acocunting professors for this course (ACG 2021). Professor Bugger was one of the worst ones I have every had. I understand accounting is difficult, but he does not allow extra credit and is very rude. He also grades late- VERY LATE. I got dropped from a semester because he didn't turn my final grade in and I got penalized.
I was forced into Professor Bugger's class after my original accounting teacher quit. I had a high A in the class, and after completing a month with Professor Bugger, as well as the final, my grade went down two letter grades, after studying for hours. Do yourself a favor and avoid this teacher at all costs, what a horrible person, with no mercy.
