His class is pretty easy and he will try and act like he is a bad A on the first day but he is pretty lenient. My problem is he doesn't teach anything honestly most people like him because of that and if you aren't an accounting major he's a great person to take it from. If you are interested in accounting take someone else.

It was an ok class. The thing that I did not like the most about it was that the text book was awful in explaining the concepts. Also, a lot of the grade you get depends on how well your group works. There are two group projects that take up the majority of your grade. I liked how he applied the concepts to real life.

I enjoyed his classes (ACCTG 3600&5140). Huge plus is that he really cares about his students. He stayed late on Halloween to help a bunch of us with an accounting project. He wants you to understand concepts not details. Tests can sometimes touch stuff not covered in class. 3600 big group projects is difficult but rewarding.

His grading criteria needs a lot of work and his teaching style just doesn't work for what he tests on. Often the quizzes are much more in depth than what he or the textbook taught. The final project also has ridiculous expectations for even a decent grade (80+ hours of work is required, and is expensive to print). Not a good professor overall.

Group project is a joke worth 35% of grade, get thrown into a group w/people who may/may not care and U work your A$$ off to get a letter grade with ZERO FEEDBACK given. The practice of profs just throwing you into groups to do projects is them being lazy. Instructor is smart but he really couldn't care less. Had A- prior to the project submission

He comes across very scary but is extremely nice and willing to answer questions. The group project ruined my life, but the TAs were very helpful. Lectures were very precise and he never wasted time with busy work or unnecessary information. This class reassured me that I want to go into accounting.

Lewis has been my favorite professor at the U so far. Clear knowledge of accounting, and really dives deep past the numbers into what they really mean. Attendance is not mandatory but I would highly recommend going. It might be hard, but you'll learn a lot of useful business insight and knowledge from Lewis. No HW, but large group project.

This was an online course where each of his lecture videos were about an hour to hour and a half. He grades only on 5 things: 3 quizes and 2 project. The final project is weighing at 70% of the entire course. Its also hard to get ahold of him through email

My advice for International Accounting is to make friends with TAs, that saved my butt. You are graded against your other classmates, so the TAs compare your work with the other students in your class. I found out from a former student that it helps to know them. He gives pop quizzes sometimes, which the TAs grade as well.

Very long and dry lectures, only touches on basic concepts (doesn't actually teach material), graded by only a few things (exams, projects). You will hate this professor if you don't have a natural affinity to solving number problems.

The absolute best accounting teacher I have had so far. Im already enrolled in his ACCTG 5000 class next semester because I am that impressed. I had to retake 2600 several times, so I have had MULTIPLE accounting teachers, but after the semester with him I finally get it.

he takes forever to grade. it has been 2 months since our 1st presentation vid was submitted but we still don't know what score did we get for the 1st one. There are only 9 groups in this class which means it shouldn't take that long to grade

Professor Lewis had really good lectures, but some things covered on quizzes didn't seem to be explained in enough detail. Overall, if you study, watch and follow his instructions and stay on top of the huge group project, you will do just fine.

Group project, translation case. Not hard at all, just focus on the details. Online format left students without real support by this professor. 60+ page chapters, textbook is outdated. TA's graded everything but the final. Lewis gave dull pre-recorded lectures. Head of accounting, but worst of all professors at DESB. Overstated confidence. BORING.

The class and the your final grade heavily revolves around two projects, the second one being very big. If you are taking this class, you and your group members better take the projects seriously and stay consistent because if not, you can fail the class. If you don't make contributions for your group, you can also fail the class.

Professor Lewis really cares about his students. I do not like accounting and struggled in his class, but enjoyed him as a professor.

Honestly one of the better professors I have had so far at the U. He's able to take complex topics and make them more manageable which will give you a great understanding of the basics, but that's not really what's required for the quizzes. You will have to do extra work to get a great grade, but his lectures are enough to do a decent job.
