He is an excellent professor.He knows his stuff and how to teach it. Though a Summer Accounting class can be challenging he tried his best to make the students undersatnd the material. His teaching style is very organized and methodical. You should be ready to work and will indeed get a good grade.

He is dull, boring and has absolutely no personality whatsoever. He teaches straight out of the book, chapter by chapter. He also does not allow retakes on quizes or test, so if you are not the kind of person who picks up concepts quickly, don't bother with this guy. He will just say, "Did you even read the book?"

I just want to say that accounting is difficult no matter what professor you have. You have to attend class, read and put in more study time than you would for any other class.

He is very easy to understand. A great prof. who explains things clearly and in a way you can understand. But he expects you to read the book and study outside of class. ACCT is a super hard course. So if you expect high school your in the wrong class. He definately won't baby you, but if you listen you'll really learn a lot about accounting!

He is EXTREMELY knowledgable. Gives good examples and relates concepts in ways I can understand. But interediate is a LOT of work, and he expects detailed and precise work. I feel like I'm learning a lot, but I had an A in 201 and 202. I'm barely getting a B in 207. Only for CPA people. Too much work for my AA.

Very challenging course, yet the teacher is the reason I believe accounting is for me. Made it very clear how difficult the class would be from day one, but his syllabus provides the exact blueprint that should be followed to not only pass but to actually learn accounting. Repetition is essential - re-read, and even go over the problem sets twice.
