Prof Varon is awesome. He covers material thoroughly, and makes sure everyone understands. He gives quizzes which come directly from the homework. If you show up and do the work he assigns, you will have no problem getting an A or B. Great teacher, super nice guy.
Prof Varon is a great teacher. He is patient with the class, gives great examples of applied concepts and covers material in lectures on tests. He is also very pleasant and easy going but you do have to do the work to pass.
he is boring
Just show up and you should get a C. Put some effort into it and it's an easy B. He likes to give good grades and is very helpful. Quizzes from book - goes over them in class. Show up and that's a 100% test grade right there. It's difficult subject matter at times, but he really does make it understandable. Still boring subject though :)
I love Mr. Varon. I wish I could take him for all of my Accounting Major courses. His way of teaching is so realistic. Kudos!
I took 1101 and 1102. His class is extremely easy if you attend. He goes over all the homework questions and puts some of them on the test with different numbers. He uses the ?s at the end of the chapters as class quizzes. Great professor!
He is really nice, but extremely boring!! I ended up making a B, but I was only like two questions on the final away from an A.
He is a really nice man. He would help you anyway he could. BUT, VERY VERY BORING!!! I had to surf the internet almost the whole class just so I could stay awake, so then I would have to go home and teach myself. If you like a professor who is nice, easy, but exremely boring then he is the way to go!
I'm not sure there could be an easier teacher. He explains everything clearly, just fight to stay awake and pay attention in class. I'd recommend attending all classes b/c he may end up giving you a pop quiz (sign your name on a sheet) or answers to the upcoming test. Great accounting teacher!!!
Take this teacher no matter when he teaches. I guarantee you will be happy with it.
GREAT PROFESSOR: VARON ROCKS...Read the book, Attend Classes and you will do great. Varon is very helpful and he explains everything well. Take him and you will do fine.
He is the BEST professor I ever had. He is not boring at all, is just the material can be dull sometimes. I recommend him, you can definetly learn something from him. He wants everyone to pass.
Don't miss out! He is one of my fav. teachers at KSU! He is understanding. If he is teaching other accounting classes I'm definitely taking him. He made intermediate accounting easy for us to understand:>:>:>:>
excellent...if you make less than a "B" in his class you are have to never step foot in his class. he does EVERYTHING to make sure his students "get it" and pass his class. you wont find a better accounting professor at KSU.
Best Professor hands down at Kennesaw State. Students say he is boring?? Well no kidding, Its a university level accounting class. It's not suppose to be fun. This Professor really interacts with his class and values their opinion. Good Job Martin Varon.
EXCELLENT Professor.... HIGHLY recommended... he does whatever it takes for students to get the context of the material... He reviews the tests before he gives them--of course he changes the numbers but they are not too hard. GREAT guy and actually CARES about students passing... Easy grade... Best Accounting Teacher. Take him.
Awesome! If you want to get an A TAKE HIM!!!! Very nice teacher! Don't miss out...
AMAZING!!! Take him if you want to pass. This was my second time taking this class and he was amazing. He knows that the class can be hard so he helps everone. He will curve everyones grades a LOT if you do not do well. I would recommend him for anything he takes!
Very helpful,understanding and gives homework, but it benefits you to help learn the material. Attend class and make an A or B. I made a "B". Highly recmmend this professor.
I loved his class...I really don't know of another prof how could have make this dry material any more interesting. He has to be one of the best at KSU. Come to class, do your homework and you will do fine.
TAKE THIS CLASS!! Varon is awesome. Attendence is not madatory. I literally went to class 5 times, did absolutely no HW and non of the madatory quizzes and made a B!!! He goes over the test answer for answer the class before the test so if you attend those you'll ace the test! AWESOME teacher, and will work with you on any issues.
Professor Varon is a great professor. I learned a lot taking his class this summer. Make sure you attend class because he covers everything you need to know during class lectures....wonderful professor!! I will take him again!
He is an awesome professor. Easy - yes, but he does a great job teaching the material. I actually wish he would buckle down on the cheating on tests (people get tests early from other classes) and take attendance. His stories are funny and teaching style memorable there's no reason to skip. Show up, pay attention, get a B easily.
Very good professor...easy A...go over the test questions before test
Yes, this class is an easy grade, BUT he is still a good teacher. By spelling out what to learn for the exam, he takes the stress out of the tests and makes it easier to concentrate on actually learning and enjoying the material, not just memorizing for a test. I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone who doesn't understand accounting very well.
easy A class, but still end up learning something. he throw alot of jokes, which makes the class more fun. highly recommended, love Martin Varon!!!
Class may be boring if you're not into accounting, but this prof. is the best. The test are not hard, but they do required a lot of work. HE DOES GO OVER THE TEST AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT WILL BE IN IT. TAKE HIM!... fyi this is only valid if you attend to class
It is an absolute pleasure to be in his class. He does very detailed exam reviews, all you have to do is follow that and your exams will be a breeze. You still have to work, but at least you know what will be on the exam. He is also an excellent teacher. You must take him. He is always always positive - that is so incredible and refershing.
Excellent teacher. Very helpful. Go to class and you'll get an A or B. One of the best teachers you'll ever have!!
Great Professor. He goes over concepts under every one understand, which is great for people that haven't done any accounting but gets a boring for those that have. He makes jokes, updates you on football scores, goes over the test and throws out questions that are confusing and really listens to the class.
Stand up Guy!! Great teacher, doesnt make you feel dumb when asking questions. Very flexible. GREAT GUY. I wish he was teaching all my Accounting & Finance classes I need.
Great teacher!! Everyone should take this guy if you have the option. He helps you in every way possible. Curves low grades up...BUT YOU MUST ATTEND ALL CLASSES TO GET THE BENEFITS! I'd take him again in a heartbeat.
Mr. Varon is AWESOME! He is a great teacher! I wish all teachers were like him!!! If you can get a seat in his class you are lucky! :)
He is extremely fair and ACTUALLY wants to make sure that everyone does well which is a rarity among teachers these days. Make sure you go to class especially on days leading up to the tests because this is when he does his review sessions which are extremely helpful.
A complete and utter joke to the teaching profession. If you actually are interested in Accounting or earning a grade I suggest taking someone else. Yes, it is practically impossible not to pass his class seeing as he is the "Michael Scott" of the teaching profession and wants everyone to like him therefore curving everything EXCEPT FOR THE FINAL.
He is a very nice teacher and he always tries his best to help his students. Besides, his joks are funny.Take his class if you get a chance.
Accounting is not the most popular class but I think anybody taking Martin Varon's class could look forward to coming to class. His test reviews are sent from Heaven and his curves brought all my test grades up to 100 or more. I passed his class with flying colors by going to class consistently and studying his review materials I'd reccomend him...
Very detailed teacher, explains everything very clearly! Cares about your grade and want everyone to get a good grade. Take him! Hope he teaches 2200!
Easy class, if you attend class, reviews exams in class before hand! Nice teacher, easy to ask questions, dosent make you feel stupid for asking, very caring! Very thorough! Take if you can get in his class!
Prof Varon was so helpful, he stayed with me and some other classmates for almost 3 hours after class to help us with the Homework. If you have to take accounting 2100 or 2200 take him. I wouldnt take anyone else unless i had too.
This Professor is absolutely amazing!!!! He is always willing to help you personally and he is flexible. 2 tests and a final, the first tests are curved. Prof. Varon makes accounting easy to learn and keeps things fun and fresh. definitely recommend taking him
Sweet professor..will work with you, goes over tests and tells you what will be on them before you take them. If you attend class and do all work, there is no reason why you shouldn't get an A! Highly recommend him! Take Him!
Professor Varon is great. He is so sweet and is always willing to help. You can tell he loves teaching and wants his students to succeed. He gives great study guides, and as long as you go to class and take notes, you'll be fine. Easy class. 4 MC tests. Take him!
Mr. Varon is an amazing professor. He is very helpful, and explains things in great detail. Multiple choice tests which he tells you exactly what will be on it, and he also goes over the tests and gives points back. Great teacher! I highly recommend taking his class!!
He is very personable and approachable. He loves baseball and incorporates it into his lectures. The session before each test he holds a review session for the test and outlines almost word for word the questions on the test. He also emails the notes he creates during each session right after class. I would definitely recommend him.
Mr. Varon is great! A teacher who really cares. He made returning to school a joy. Go to class, take notes, you will do fine. DO NOT miss the class before a test.
Great professor. Very detailed. Do not miss class before test. Follow the book. That's all!
Mr. Varon is a very kind man and really wants his students to do well. He loves baseball and will incorporate it into his lectures. Be sure to never miss the class before a test. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to do the online work. I would highly recommend Mr. Varon's class and hope to have him again in accounting 2200. He is the best!
TAKE HIM! Super easy. Makes you understand. Attendance is not mandatory. Curved all the tests.
He is an AMAZING teacher and wants his students to do well. I would highly recommend him !!!
Really nice guy, pretty easy class. Don't procrastinate on the homework if you can. Tests aren't usually as intense as the homework. Overall, I definitely suggest this class.
Awesome teacher. Wants you to learn and also make a good grade. Calls himself "curve city," and he is. If you do the online homework enough he will give you full credit at the end. Curves tests. However he didn't curve the final. "Previews" what will be on the test. Don't have to go to class at all. Awesome guy, good teacher.
Excellent Professor! I recommend him anytime! Wish he taught more classes. I would take them all with him if I could. Super helpful and curves grades. The material is a bit difficult so the curve is helpful. Homework is on Connect, gives you study guide for exams.
Professor Varon is a great teacher with extensive knowledge of the subject. Some of the comments suggest that he is too easy and you do not learn anything in his class. I completely disagree. I made an A in his class and have a very good understanding of financial accounting now. His baseball jokes get a bit old though.
I took him for ACCT 2100 and BLAW 2200 and received an A in both. The only draw back to taking him twice is the redundancy of the jokes. Very clear, concise and to the point. If he is done early he will let you leave early. He curves tests, but you have to go to class the day after the test in order to get the curve.
You will be lucky if you get him as a professor. He is THE MAN
Its true. Good luck getting in his classes. I tried to get him for 'Managerial' 2300. Nope. Class filled up over night. Oh well. He's great, fair, and positive about everything. He's like the Accounting Whisperer. Get him.
Absolutely take this professor. He taught the material clearly and concisely. Did not keep us in class longer than was necessary so we were able to leave early every class. He's funny and very approachable. Would love to take him for another accounting class.
Fantastic professor. So helpful, kind, and clear. I would go to his class just to visit. Please take him! I got so much from his class.
Best professor EVER!!! Literally gives you the test questions for each test, except using different numbers. Emails all notes taken in class. And he curves! Easy A if you do the hw and go to the test reviews!!!
I hated accounting before I took this class! But he makes everything very clear and prepares you super well for the tests. I recommend attending all his lectures.
Mr.VARON is the most helpful and kind professor in KSU. He is easy and would do anything to see his students get good grades. All his tests and assignments are online except for the finals. TAKE HIM if you can. He's your man. I'm taking him for accounting as well. I respect this man from the bottom of my heart.
Awesome teacher! Very kind and helpful. Students would miss due dates for hw and he would extend the hw time. All test and hw are online but final is in-class. E-mails all notes taken in class to students the day of class!
He is easily the most helpful professor at KSU. He takes his time with lectures, will answer all your questions before and after class. Genuinely cares about ALL his students and is willing to work with you if you don't understand. Doesn't require the book. Generally teaches late classes. I highly recommend him!!
Defensively I recommend him. He is the Most helpful professor at KSU. (Awesome teacher)
He is a great professor! super easy if you go to class. BUT, the only way to do well in his class is to attend EVERY class and take notes. There is no other way.
GREAT guy. super nice, understanding. attendance isn't mandatory but I go. Probably one of the best professors I have ever had. easy A. I would recommend to anyone. He's the real mvp.
Easiest class ever, but his syllabus is unclear. He has assignments due in class that aren't documented in the syllabus, so watch for that. He's a little disorganized.
he is the best
Dr. Varon is a good professor, I would say the only problem with this class is that he didn't seem very organized. I think it was his first time teaching 3100, but he took the quizzes from Hermanson's class for our's. Our first test was MC, but the next two are essay, with some work problems. He goes over everything for the test. Don't skip review!
Hands down my favorite professor. He is super kind and caring and goes above and beyond to help his students do well. I did not need another accounting credit, but decided to take his class as an elective because I had taken him before and really liked him. If you have the opportunity, take any class you can with Professor Varon!
Professor Varon is a funny dude. He's a happy go lucky guy and I can tell he loves his job. Easy A and tests are basically given to you at the review sessions. Will definitely take him again!
Great professor! hands down! TAKE HIM!
Varon is the MAN! I'm clueless when it comes to accounting so I was terrified when I took this class. 3 test. (2 exams, one final). Curves tests quite a bit to the extent where your grade will increase by a letter grade or two. Test review before test date saves lives!!! Goes over every question. If you're just looking to pass, take this man!
Professor Varon is the best professor I've had in a while. I failed the first test because, as a hospitality major I don't understand accounting, he drops your lowest test grade if you can make 15 points higher than the failing grade. He wants his students to pass and succeed. It's a shame he isn't teaching 2200
Hands Down, literally the best professor I have ever had throughout my college career! TAKE THIS GUY FOR ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS LAW. All you have to do is just read and take notes. Attending class is vital because he teaches the book in order of the homework. The absolute best.
I went into this class thinking I liked Accounting - I was mistaken, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't take this class again. Prof. Varon's study guides are extremely helpful but lectures can be confusing at times. He TRIES hard to be entertaining. Homework is required and through connect. Reading the book was VERY HELPFUL for me.
Excellent teacher. Go to class and listen to the lecture and you will do well. He goes through everything and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. His lectures are MUCH better than the book. Explains all concepts in detail and goes through problems in class. Tests are thorough but fair. He genuinely wants you to do well.
The professor is knowledgeable, thorough, and boring. He is caring and will help you. He is in desperate need of some powerpoint lectures both for interest and ease on his part. I'm sure he could get a student to do it for him. If you get confused in the class the book is identical, but the lectures substitute perfectly well.
Excellent teacher. Go to class and you will do well. Read the chapter before class, then take notes. Explains concepts better than the book does. Thorough but fair tester.
Professor Varon is a good guy and knows his stuff. He moves quick in his lectures, but this is not a tough class. The material is difficult, but you just have to follow along in class and read the book. He goes over the test the class before just using different numbers. Would definitely take Varon if he's available.
Professor Vernon is an friendly guy. Class is overly easy which is why a lot of people take him. I definitely don't recommend if you care more about what you will take from the class than just receiving an A. He pulled some questions from 2100 and 2200 for our test. He doesn't provide you with what you need to know for a future career or the CPA.
Very sweet old man. I made a B in his class and I didn't do any of the home work. I would recommend taking notes in Excel because that's what he uses in class. He goes over every test the day before. He just makes learning accounting super easy.
He is one of my favorite professors in my three years at KSU. He cares about how his students do in the class and really enjoys teaching. He goes over the tests in detail before the actual test so if you show up, you should be more than fine for the exams. Final IS cummulative, but more focused on the last few chapters. Very friendly man.
I enjoyed his class, but do NOT be so quick to call him an easy A. He is also hard to understand at times, plus he provided very little online material. Half of the class got below a 70 on the tests. However, he gave us a big curve which gave most people a B in the class. He is very laid back and easy to talk to though. Easy B but not easy A
Professor Varon really cares about his students. This is a tough course and he makes it easy to understand. If I had the chance to take him again, I would in a heart beat.
Great guy. A little boring. Need to read the book.
Very cool and nice teacher. Makes sure you understand and helps you when you need it. Also gives reviews before test. Very very very awesome. He's really genuine, actually wants you to learn and understand. Subject is confusing but he'll make sure you'll understand it. Would take him again hands down.
Professor Varon is an incredibly sweet guy, and is a wonderful professor BUT this class is definitely not an easy A if you don't specialize in accounting. Lots of work on Connect website (around 2-3 assignments a week) and tests are difficult. He does drop your lowest test grade if you make 15 points higher on your other test. GO TO CLASS AND READ
Great professor. If you're an accounting major I suggest going to class everyday, but if you're not just go on the days with test reviews. You don't need the book but you do need the access code because of the homework.
I loved this class. He teaches in a very straightforward way and will help you out with the material or homework if you need it. Before each test he does a "preview" which is him going over the test with a few slight changes. Definitely go to class as the material can be confusing, but if you do you'll do very well. I highly recommend him.
Marty was the bomb. It is a relatively hard course, but he spells it all out. I love his humor and his teaching style.
Professor Varon was great! 3100 was harder, so be prepared to study. I finished with a C, but I blame it on my hectic work schedule. Make sure to keep up/complete the assignments in Connect and I found the emailed the class notes from the professor to be helpful to prepare for tests/exams. I wish he was teaching Intermediate II!
Accounting isn't the easiest class in the school, but Martin Varon is the best teacher you can have. I'm so glad I took him. I put in the time of studying, and he put in his time of teaching immaculately! He explains everything perfect to the T! He is must take teacher!
What a great professor! Can be a tad scattered but is willing to slow down/ give individual help. Provides review days for all tests and will drop an abnormally low test score. He's very understanding of students with "real lives." Attendance is important but not mandatory. Very caring and hilarious. I will most definitely be taking him for 2200.
Awesome professor, he gives out 3 tests during the semester and gives you a study guide for each that is just like the exam and drops the lowest grade. I made a B because I didn't even attempt my budget project but if I did I would have made an A!
Great professor; nice, funny man. Quick and easy homework from the online book every week or so, a few easy tests. Good to go to his lectures because he really makes the book and chapters understandable.
THIS MAN IS AN ANGEL! Literally the best professor I've had in college. He knows that sometimes students have things come up and works with you! If you can't make an exam, he will reschedule for you to take it at another time. He basically goes over every exam the day before, so there are no surprises at all! If you have the choice to take him DO!
Professor V is the best professor ever! He is a more than fair professor who truly cares for his students. There are 3 exams and he goes over most of the problems the day before the exam. If you show up and take notes, you'll get an A. If you have the chance to take him, DO IT!
If you are looking to take an accounting class, take Professor Varon. While not all the assignments are easy, the professor himself will actively be looking over you grade. If you ever need help, he is more than willing to provide it. Before every exam he has reviews where he basically goes over the whole test. Rare case of caring and great prof!
You don't have to show up to 1 class and you can make an A. He is the easiest professor I've had by far, and he knows what he talks about. He basically has a conversation with the class for an hour each class period, and the midterm and final are online (open book and you take it at your house). He's easy and a great guy, take him.
Best professor I've taken. Easy A. If you don't take him you should be ashamed of yourself.
Just do the work on Connect and show up on days specified if needed, easy A. He loves telling stories by the way
Hard class, Tests are difficult if you don't take excellent notes. Don't miss class or you'll be lost. Homework takes hours each week. Avoid at all costs.
I took Professor Varon last semester for Acct 2100 and he was awesome! 2 tests and a final exam. The 2 days before a test, he goes over each test question to make sure you are prepared. He's SO helpful when you are having difficulty understanding material. He is very knowledgeable on the subject. You will learn lots. DEF take this class!!
Wasn't a big fan at first, he's really sweet but the course schedule was all over the place and he lectures using excel so it can be confusing when you review the notes. Quizzes and homework are due in connect and before a test he does an exact review of what you'll see on the exam.
He is by far my favorite professor at KSU. Not only because his tests are so easy, but also because he is very entertaining when you go to class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but on the day before the tests (there are a lot of tests btw) you should because he goes over what will be on the tests in such detail that there's no way you can do bad.
Best teacher KSU has staffed! If all teachers were like him, this would be a university people would be proud to go to. Funny, easy grader, and helps you prepare for tests a whole lot. Very great teacher and easy class.
Varon was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes accounting easy to understand and is always willing to help. He is hilarious and his tests are easy. Very knowledgeable. Do connect and really pay attention to his reviews. hint hint for test time. I recommend him to everyone I meet!
The best professor I've ever had. He is a genuinely nice guy who cares about seeing his students succeed. He prepares you very well for all exams, so just come to class, take notes, and interact with him. 10/10 would recommend.
I love him. He is sweet and cares about students. I would recommend him. He goes over test before the test day. You dont wanna miss test review. small extra credit. He uses Connect. Do connect and go to class for review, you will get easy A. However, he does not tell you about assignment dates.
Difficult class for me, but he's a great professor. It was obvious how much he cares about his students. Wish i could take him again.
Excellent professor very understanding and genuinely wants to see his students succeeded. He goes over the material very thoroughly, and his review sessions are incredibly beneficial. Overall great teacher would recommend taking him.
I had professor Varon for 2 accounting classes. He cares about his students, but sometimes he's not great at explaining the material. However, he will go over practice test questions before each test and it really helps. He notices when you attend class and understand it all, but perhaps just don't test well (like me). Definitely a solid choice.
Awesome
Professor Varon is awesome. Only thing I have to say is he can be a tad bit unorganized and you do not know your grade throughout the class since he does not enter grades, but the online assignments are easy and his tests are not bad at all. He is very nice and really cares about his students. Easy class if you go every week and pay attention
I have no words for Prof. Varon. I mean the easiest class of my life. I wouldn't advise that you only show up to review day because you'll probably miss important information. His classes are fun if you participate. Emphasis on, "EASIEST CLASS." do the review and BAM! 90-100 on the test. He's the sweetest man ever.
Professor Varon was great. He included many stories in his lectures to keep them interesting. All his tests were open book and first few tests were very easy. 3 easy writing assignments and weekly bookwork but can finish quickly.
Varon is honestly one of the best at KSU. He is more than generous with the help that he gives his students. 3 tests and connect hw. He goes over every question from the test during the review and makes sure you understand. The test is the exact same. He gives a final assign. on connect to makeup for missed work. 10/10 GREAT MAN! TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Professor Varon is amazing!!! I would definition take his class again. He makes accounting easy and he knows how to explain the material really well. He doesnt care to fail his students, he just wants to make sure we understand the material. Overall, a very solid choice. He makes me proud to be an accounting major!
Professor Varon is my favorite instructor. He uses class time wisely to teach what is important to learn, both for tests and the real world. He has a lot of experience that he shares during the lectures. He is also very caring and personable. He has an interest in his students understanding and succeeding in accounting.
Hes a great person. Please do take him, I promise you will not regret it.
AWESOME!!!! Very nice guy and well respected. Connect is big for this class, but his review sessions for the tests are what set him apart. Enjoyed his class even though I missed a couple classes
I LOVED professor Varon. He is so nice, knows the subject very well, and prepares everyone for the test. There are 4 exams, all open book! He is very interesting to listen to and probably my favorite professor! TAKE HIM!
He is the best professor that I ever have. Just come to class and take notes. 3 tests and 1 final and quizzes on connect. He always reviews before the test. Since it's a summer course therefore it will go very fast, so maybe he will review the test couple days or when he thinks it's the best time to do it. He is the best TAKE HIM.
YES! Take his class. By far my favorite professor. Pay attention and take good notes. Tests are open notes and he usually gives a good heads up about what exactly will be on the test!
Varon is the man. He is a must take. No matter the time slot you want to take his class.
All the tests were open notes. He is a very nice guy and likes to tell stories about his past a lot. Do the little bit of homework he assigns and show up for the tests and you should get an A.
Took him 2017. He is one of the nicest and chillest professors ever. Super nice and makes accounting so much easier. He is also super understanding. I don't remember attendance being mandatory, but please just go. Make this man happy. He deserves it. You'll see why. Also, don't be too afraid of test days. Why? That's classified... but trust me.
Hes a a great guy and wants his students to do well but his online class this semester was tough. the course itself is hard to learn and i personally didnt find his lectures helpful. he does hold study sessions and gives extra credit but I only learned the material through the textbook
I am sure he's a great professor when it comes to in person courses, but his online course is overwhelming and a literal maze. Had to withdraw because there's no way I'll be able to basically teach myself accounting. Not saying he's a bad professor though, just don't take him for an online class. Very unorganized.
He's really caring. His lectures can be slow sometimes, but theyre good. A lot of people don't show up for class, but I always enjoyed listening to his lectures. There are only 4 tests and he allows you a full cheat sheet. Connect assignments are due every week or so, but you are able to complete them in advance if you want. also 2 easy papers.
I think Professor Varon is probably great in person, but not online. He is out of touch with technology. Lots of miscommunication about when things are due and how to do them. Grades were not updated regularly. He seems very sweet and caring, but I would not recommend him for online. 2 quizzes (open book), 2 exams and final with lockdown.
I really enjoyed Professor Varon. Having this class online was a little overwhelming at times because he is a little out of touch w/ technology. He uploaded lecture videos for every chapter. If you watch his videos, take notes, & do your hw on Connect, you will be fine. He is not a hard professor AT ALL.
The BEST professor I have ever taken. Knowledgeable and relates to real-world examples. He reminds me of a little old grandfather. Very caring. I would bring dinner to class every day and he would be concerned if it did not bring my dinner and would let me leave to go to the sandwich shop. If he's available, take him! You will not regret it!
Prof Varon is one of the most kind, caring professors. He wants his students to succeed and will do everything he can to help you. He breaks down the info and makes to course as doable as possible. He loves talking to his students before/after class and getting to know everyone. You won't regret taking him!!
He is a walking inspiration. He is so great I dont know how he does it. This class demand a little more planing than 2100, but he is out of the way helpful with anything u need to succeed in the class. To me it was about to make sure I understood everything the class needed me to do. Get that straight since the beginning. He is very motivational.
He was a cool professor. I didnt go to classes except twice. 4 Exams, Final, 3 easy writing assignments only 150 words required, connect HW. This class is so easy and he is a good professor. After you take the final you get your final grade posted on owl exp. the next day. I cant stress enough how easy this class is!
The EASIEST class you will ever take. I took him online had 4 exams, 3 easy writing assignments, and connect homework. Do your work and you'll get an A point blank period. Literally take this professor if you can!!!!
Not a lot of work and participation isnt mandatory which is great. Over the tests are open note but are mainly made up of his own questions which involve you to understand the topic to answer.
His lectures are interesting and he incorporated many real-life examples. Really knowledgeable about laws. Homeworks are long, but you can find information in the Smartbook text. Tests are open notes, though are long. 3 easy papers. He checks up on his students. I took his class during COVID time, so attendance isn't mandatory.
He is honestly the best professor I have ever had. I took him for BLAW2200 and now for ACCT3100. I recommend him to anyone needing to take any of the classes he teaches. He has experience working in the field and tells funny stories/jokes. Has exam reviews before each exam with practice questions.
A good choice for ACCT 3200. He is funny and likes to really connect with his students. Will repeat any of the material if anybody has questions. Your grade includes 4 tests (open book), SB and homework for each chapter, a tax memo and a tax return project. Really nice guy who likes to crack jokes.
Midterm, final, and group project are each worth 30% of grade, with participation being worth 10. Most of our class skipped regularly. His lectures were interesting and he was hilarious and knowledgeable but the late class time 8-9:15p definitely didn't help with attendance. Class is definitely worth taking as an acct major.
Professor Varon is quite literally the best professor I have ever had. He makes class fun, tells hilarious jokes, and is probably the only professor to ever make me excited for classes. If you don't take him, you're crazy. Thanks, Professor Varon - you rock!
4 open note tests, 3 EASY writing assignments, 14 Smartbook assignments, and a final exam. His lectures are very well organized we did 3 chapters in 3 weeks (one chapter every week) and then had a test. He's a really nice and understanding professor and knows everything about law. Highly recommend.
Do yourself a favor and take this class! Prof Varon is just the sweetest guy. His lectures are easy to follow and has a ton real life case stories and the're always super interesting. He even gives case examples that are recent and that happened in our area. All lectures have pre written notes that are super detailed and every test is open book!!!
All I have to say is that he is the best professor that I have ever had. This class is so easy because he makes it easy. EVERYTHING is open book/note. You do not have to come to class to get through this class, but I went everyday because he was so funny and I enjoyed his stories!
Take him. Open-note tests and smartbooks. The papers only require at least 150 words. Easy grader. Attendance isn't mandatory. He's really nice and I would definitely take him for more classes if I could.
Best professor I've had; open book/note tests too
Very easy A. I only went to class twice and got an A. Grade consists of Smartbook assignments, three 150 word writing assignments, and 5 exams including the cumulative final. Everything was open note, open book. Although you dont really need to attend class, he does tell good stories if you do come and want to listen.
Great professor, attendance is optional and all work is open note/open book.
This Accounting class is one of the easiest classes that I have taken at KSU!
Goes over exams question by question before each test, so you know what to expect, and has great lectures!
He has pretty great lectures, and tests are open book which was nice. However, on the major assignments he gives almost no directions and takes off points for not reading his mind. The class was good but projects were very stressful because of lack of direction.
100% would take again. Easiest class ever he is very lenient with extensions and is not a harsh grader. Everything is online with no lockdown.
Class code should be ACCT4800 but he took the class over for Dana so this is a general review. He's very kind, very funny, and basically makes difficult concepts in class a cakewalk.
Prof. Varon is a great guy! Teaches many classes. I took tax last semester and fraud and B Val this semester. BVal is a little tricky though. Midterm and final (30% each), group project (30%), and participation (10%). Final was difficult! Definitely need the textbook- free online pdf available!
Good lecturer (fun stories) and totally open book tests. The final is harder but the other tests cushion it. Two big assignments (6% each) not long but a little difficult and do not have very clear instructions but professor is very approachable if you have questions. Will also go over the assignments in class when assigned but watch the details.
Easy A and the professor is so sweet. All exams are online and open note. Only three homeworks and all are super easy. Great class overall.
Martin is literally the GOAT no questions asked. Great lectures covers all material that will be on exams and quizzes in class. Super funny able to keep you engaged. I would pick him up for any class you possibly can.
No words can explain how much I loved this professor. Just take his class.
Professor Varon's class was nice. It was all open book and notes, but there wasn't really any study guidance for the tests and the final exam study guide was pretty vague. The memo project was fine but the FORM 1040 Return project was quite lengthy and we didn't go over the schedules very much. It isn't a hard class, just be prepared to read a lot!
Professor put no effort into teaching the class. Online and 98% of the assignments were through smartbook. Almost no communication from the professor. Tests were proctored using terrible Proctorio. Tests were closed note and book (unlike his in-person class, which is unfair). He had 2 projects throughout the semester and one you had to pay for!
did not answer emails, worst professor ive ever had at KSU
Easy A class with a super sweet professor. All exams are open-note and there's minimal work. Unstuck study was a game-changer for preparing. Definitely recommend taking this class if you can.
I loved this class. I absolutely adored this professor, I would highly recommend taking this course with them. A lot of textbook work; however, it really helps on tests. 10/10 recommend
Super easy class, and the Professor is such a sweet man, but I haven't learned a thing. Everything is open book open note and can be easily found online. The class is so laid back. The professor has a lot of funny stories he applies to lessons. Also has exam reviews where we go over every single question on there! Easy, but haven't learned much.
Super easy class to take during Summer! 2 exams, a group presentation, and attendance grade. He will go over each question on the exam beforehand and it is open book, open Internet. Attendance is you show up this one day for the guest speaker and you get full marks. Group project may seem like a lot, but he is very willing to help. Great guy!
Very cool guy, funny, makes tax interesting as possible. Def would take again. Also very understanding and accomodating. He ties in other accounting classes to this which makes it interesting and easier to understand
Honestly Mr. Varon is very caring and wants you to do well. While attendance isn't mandatory, it's what got me through the class. He will repeat himself a bit but he gives hints for the tests and walks through problems in class.
This is my third time taking Marty, he's the best! As a graduating senior, he's definitely one of the highlights of my college career. Like all his classes, everything is open book, open notes, open internet. All exams and quizzes are online, but the final is in person. Easy A! Can't ask for a sweeter and kinder professor
Very easy going! He literally tells what the questions will be for every test! You can make this an online class, but I would recommend attending the lectures. He is funny and breaks down these difficult concepts. He is understanding and begs us to ask questions. He expects effort and will be more gracious if you show it.
