Mr. Hammond seems to be a very nice man who has been very successful in business, but he really is unclear when explaining the material. The tests are extremely hard...buy a study guide from him!!!! There are several assignments to help bring up your grade which is a plus. I ended up with a B.

Must have masters in accounting to pass this class. This guy literaly flies through his powerpoints and says if you don't know how to do it, you better learn before the test (2 days prior he says this). Oh I can't wait for the rest of the semester. BEWARE!

flies through the notes without explaining them much, and gets upset and angry with you if you ask him for help or say that you don't understand something

Class is not passable unless you buy the study guide. Once you get the guide its easy. The excel project is also impossible.

Terrible teacher, not helpful, and mean. Tests were long, confused, and complicated. But you have no choice because he is the only one teaching this course ACC311. WSJ assignments made up almost 1/3 of the test grade. They are tidious work, and time consuming. Don't take him.

Hammond, is a very tricky guy, he does not explain well at all. When I went to try to talk to him about the subject matter, he isn't very helpful after class either. its as if he just tries to take off as many points as possible. only teacher at sms, that I really don't want to see again.

I agree with comment that he is tricky and does not help after class. I do the homework and read the book, but his failure to respond to emails makes it difficult to complete an assignment if you have a question. He won't explain why a problem is wrong he says "I don't care what's fair" and "I'm not going to change". Not exactly helpful to learning

He tests over what games he uses in class examples. And if you ask a question about test, he gives you wrong answer. Be careful

He is terrible. He will bite your head off if you ask a question and he does not teach. He simply reads you the power point slides. He has a bad attitude all around. I would avoid him.

Awful teacher. Examples do not pertain to the subject. Was a 3.5 student before I failed his class. Takes attendance before class even starts, and if you're going to be late you may as well not go. Be prepared to teach yourself. Probably won't ever get higher than a C, even if you work your butt off.

This guy is awful. All he does is read the powerpoints that come with the book. He is rude all of the time and is just a very mean guy. Not helpful at all! About 50% of the lecture had to drop the class. His tests are very hard and require tons of preperation if you are not an accounting major. Seriously, dont take him!

WORST teacher I have ever had. He is a rude arrogant jerk. He uses examples that are not correct and don't apply and he repeats them often. He is rude to all of his students, and makes everyone feel dumb when they ask a question. Don't expect to learn anything from him. You have to teach yourself to hope to have a good grade. AVOID HIM!

Tests are extremely difficult because his reviews are worthless. Just posts a sheet that says know this topic which may or may not be on the test...the homework and quizzes are easy however. oh and dont ever be late or look at your phone. he deducts 10 pts when the class only has 880. good luck...

Dont take him, Test are impossible. Plays with puppets, didn't learn anything, had to drop the class... take this class over summer much easier!!!

If you're not an ACC major, expect this class material to be very difficult. He uses stuffed animals as examples to help "clarify" his material. He gives clicker questions at the very start of class, so don't be late..ever.. Buy the course notebook, for this will be your only guidance in his class. This class will suck so be prepared.Not a blow off

Do not take this instructor unless you plan on teaching yourself everything. Homework & quizzes are nothing like the test (which you never get to see after you've taken them)

Not helpful at all. Arrogant. Crazy assignments which take up time and you learn nothing from. Not willing to work with you on anything. NOTHING. When you ask a question he gives back a snooty reply and does not answer you. Which causes another email and it seems to irritate him worse. Take someone else!!

While Professor Hammond seems to be a nice person outside of teaching, that does not help with his courses. On top of the accounting material being difficult to being with, his lectures do not clarify anything and often confuse more. He offers no point redemptions if a student is struggling and is abrasive if approached for help outside of class.

Teacher will email you condescending responses to any question. I have made B's on all tests, completed all hw, and attended most every class, and I will fight to make a C. Teacher will deduct points for phones, computers, email issues, and if he has a problem with you. If you have a B and he does not like you, expect 1 to 2 letter grades lower!

Accounting runs through my veins and this was literally the worst online class experience I've ever had, it was stressful. I have never questioned changing my major. This teacher barely gives any guidance. The homework and the study guides for the tests are a joke. I would definitely suggest not taking him and if you do then don't take him online.

Lectures are scattered, he switches between topics while adding in life stories that don't have anything to do with the lesson. Homework takes hours and doesn't follow along w/ class notes given. Tough grader and doesn't state the grading criteria well. With emails and office meetings, we repeats himself saying to see the syllabus that doesn't help

Probably the worst professor I have ever learned from. Hammond is rude, intimidating to question, and is honestly pretty threatening. Good luck taking the pain away from lecture by Twitter. He threatened to kick me out of his class. If you can avoid this man then by God do so. Terrible professor and he should not work with students.

I'm sure Mr. Hammond is a nice man outside of class. Lectures are all over the place. It's hard to take notes. Hammond also does random quizzes that include writing your name on a piece of paper. Homework points help. Tests are very hard. Final is brutal. He gives you a list of the topics covered over the semester for a guide.

Probably one of the worst professors I have ever taken. Spends more than half the class period writing out base data that you can barely read and makes it very hard to follow the concept that he's going over. Lectures are incredibly boring and hard to follow. Tests are very hard and although he provides a study guide it doesn't seem to help at all.

Took this class online as a summer block class with the anticipation that it would require quite a bit of work. Hammond's class is disorganized and high intensity. His recorded lectures don't correspond with the textbook and what is on the homework, leaving you confused by how vague they are. His study guides for tests are a joke.

I thought when I got a 113% in financial accounting that I could handle this, but I was wrong. These tests are something out of a nightmare and his "test review" is him just telling you how many questions there will be. He doesn't grade anything in a good amount of time for you to learn what you're doing wrong. This was a complete and utter joke.

Short windows for online tests, hard grading, tests on material not covered, ridiculous amount of busy work.

You have read the reviews, be warned. He simply does NOT care about the class. If you email him be ready to re-read the syllabus pasted in the email, which will never answer your question specifically. Test's are very hard, and the study guide given does not have anything to do with whats on the test. Be prepared to spend hours on HW.

This is a very high intensity course, harder than my level 400-500 classes. There is ALOT of work to do. Once you do the online work, it is gone and you cannot repeat and prep for the test. The study guide has no relevance and the Tests are extremely hard, and are most of your grade. I got A's in my accounting classes and barely got a C. Run away.

This class is difficult and the professor is useless. There are 10+ lectures for every chapter that consist of him rambling and going off on tangents. He complicates everything and makes it harder than it is. Homework takes forever and half of it is irrelevant. Tests are hard because its impossible to prepare. Reading the book wont help.

Horrible class to take online!! I took it as a summer class and you have an average of 5-10 assignments due every week. The homework isnt hard as long as you stay on top of it, but the tests are terrible. The study guide is so broad youre better off to make your own outline & notes to study, because his guide will earn you an F on the test.

Took online class. Although he is specific about what to expect from the class, he is WAY too specific. I felt like I was learning HOW to take ACC 211 rather than actually learning ACC 211. Tough class with difficult material. If you have trouble with ACC, don't take it online. Take it seated in class AND with a different prof, will do you better!

RUN!!The amount of reading and notes he expects you to do is unreal, Id spend DAYS a week in this class alone going over slides/book material. Test are comprehensive, with no formula sheet, which makes them very difficult because he makes tests math HEAVY. He is unwilling to provide tips and help for studying and tells you to try harder if u ask.

This was only one of the worst classes Ive ever taken. I learned absolutely nothing from this class. I read all the material, watched all presentations, and studied everything. I still did horrible on every test. If you care about your grades and actually learning the material, do not take this class with him. Choose a different professor.

Might be the worst class I have had to deal with thus far. Easily 5-10 homework assignments each week, and most take at least an hour. If you have the option to take it online, don't.

This guy is terrible. He has dumb requirements for his class (eg: can't use a calculator with memory, which is pretty hard to find now a days. I ended up buying the one he recommended for 50 bucks and will never use it again) He uses respondus and will fail you if someone else makes a noise in the background. All around terrible teacher and person.

Not a fan of this professor as he's not friendly/helpful. Wants to you watch lectures & read chs. Lectures are long. Threatens academic sanctions for various things. Won't respond to emails if you need help. This class is all math word problems essentially. Very strict rules on calcs/lockdown browser. Be prepared to memorize tons of equations.

Probably one of the worst professors I've had at Mo State. He is overall just not very good at teaching the material but he has also been incredibly rude when I reach out to him about anything in my gradebook that is messed up because I obviously want to know if I am failing or passing. Just avoid him if possible.

I hope you can take a 50 question acc exam in under 50 minutes. The exams are harder than the homework, and to understand the homework you have to watch step by step cengage videos. Overall it's a hard class unless you want to spend all your time studying and reading the textbook.

STAY AWAY!*** Hammond is horrible this was the first B I got at MSU trust me and avoid him at all costs. Exams are junk and I thought the class would be easy after I got an A in ACC 201. This class took more time out of my day than my 400 level Econ class. He makes a 200 level class feel like a 700 level grad school class. STAY AWAY!***

Dr Hammond is proof of what is wrong with academia today! The guy has zero real world knowledge and has a chip on his shoulder to show for it. His online lectures are not helpful at all, as he just goes off on tangents. The book will be of little to no value helping you prepare for exams. I filled out every study guide and barely got a D.

Worst professor I have ever had at MSU! The lectures did not teach me anything about the class and were really a waste of time. He would require you to do extra assignments on a chapter before the previous chapter's homework is due. His blackboard is extremely unorganized and very confusing. Avoid this professor at all costs it is not worth it.

Biggest gripe is that the time per test question is usually around 1min 15sec max to figure out a lengthy math problem. Lots of test questions are lengthy and extensive.

Be prepared to read off of lectures and teach yourself. The test are 1 hour long and around 50 questions. Basically clicking answers so you at least have a chance of getting some right.

Gives you very little time to take the test with about 1.5 minutes per question. Super long questions on test and nothing like homework. Lots of homework and very disorganized course setup. You can understand the material and still not do well since you're rushed. Be prepared to sit down and watch his extensive lectures and extra bs homework

It is obvious that he has a tenure. He doesn't care about his students performance. I email him asking questions and he is very rude and says I need to find it on blackboard, which is very confusing and has to much on it. Tests are impossible, you have 50 questions and an hour to finish, the questions take to long to figure out with the time limit.

Clearly longs for the good old days where professors could rule with an iron fist and control their students every in-class move. His teaching style is not conducive to an online class, and tests are borderline absurd in their difficulty. It's like he actively wants his students to fail in order to prove what a tough guy he is. Avoid his classes!!

If you are looking to take ACC211 at Missouri State Univerity do not take it with professor Hammond. We met in the classroom only 7 times out of 16 weeks in which each week we were scheduled to meet twice. Majority of your grade will come from tests in which you will NEVER have enough time to finish the test without guessing on multiple questions

Professor Hammond's lectures were so incredibly unhelpful that I gave up on going to them. I came out of each class more confused than I entered and everything that I did learn was self-taught. His tests are not at all like the practice sets that he gives, he's always skipping paragraphs/sections in the class notes with no explanation.

This professor is the worst professor Ive had while at Missouri State, please stay away from him at all cost. His lectures are confusing and they dont help you at all, so be prepared to teach everything yourself. He gives you only 60 minutes to complete his tests and his final is damn near impossible to pass. Hes just a hard old school professor.
