I was really disappointed at this class. He has a lack of respect of helping kids. I emailed him almost 10 times asking for advice/extra help and got not one answer. He sends only 2 emails a class, one at the beginning and one at the end. Basically, if you want to learn accounting with no help from an actual accountant take this class.

I would not recommend this guy to anyone who cares about their accounting gpa. Getting an F is an average grade in the section I took. Hw's are nothing like the exam questions. He gave no study guide for the exams and is reluctant to post hw solutions. The good reviews on here are probably him talking himself up! STAY AWAY!!!

He assigns lots of homework so be ready to spend hours doing it. I got almost a 100% on every assignment I did. But that was not even enough to pass the class. Homeworks is 40% of your grade while the midterm and final make up 60%. So all those countless hours you spent doing homework mean nothing if you do poorly on the exam. Also, he's rude.

Took the 6 week course for summer. He doesn't communicate well with students by any means. Homework was okay. The test are pretty challenging. He gives no lead on what its about or what it'll be on. I ended the course with a C- I needed 10 points for C. I was told there will be a curve then I get my grade back with no change. Very misleading prof

I took this 6 week class over the summer and it was a complete disaster. You can't use formula sheets, books or notes on exams. Homework takes up way too much time to complete. This is by far the worst professor at FAU!! Do yourself a favor and take another professor. I use to love Accounting but this class made me change my mind!

Took his 6 week lecture capture class in summer. Did not teach the class very well wasn't specific about material he taught. The book never really helped either. Tests are hard af and not allowed to use notes or textbook.

The most rude individual, don't bother asking him questions, take a different professor trust me

Hes a jerk. Kept blaming it on the students saying your scores on your exams reflect your knowledge yet the majority of us do not know what hes talking about. We felt confident and worked hard on the homework and worked hard but come test day most people struggled and took horrible grades. He said the majority did well, lies. Dont take him.

Worst online class! He would give some lectures 2 days before exams, and gave no direction on what to study. It seemed as if he could care less about teaching. Never gave examples or showed how to do anything. just explained a few things from the book. Basically taught myself.

Very rude. Will not help you with any issues. No notes

He is absolutely the worst. Frequently comes off as condescending and arrogant when students don't immediately understand complex concepts that he views as simple from his perspective. Terrible communication skills. I would give this man a zero if the website allowed me to.

All the comments about this professor being condescending are correct. Asking a question is like pulling teeth. The professor responds with rude clap backs about how YOU should know this already. Horrible horrible horrible. Avoid if you can, because truly not worth listening to his negative comments. It makes you hate an already hard class.

the fact that this man never answers an email, he reads off the slides, doesnt give a test review of the any of the chapters, he assigns a 10 question homework that doesnt cover all the material in the chapter. He doesnt provide extra practice. . HIS AWFUL DONT TAKE HIM

There are no formulas and the textbook is not allowed on exams. Do not take this class with Bruckner! Very unrealistic expectations.

Please Avoid This Man, Hard Content & Disrespectful. Caused me so much breakdowns in taking this class & have to retake it. 3 exams for 60% & other stuff is 40% its hard asf to get a C w/ that grading. If u love ur mental health & wellbeing don't take him unless u have to, he will not curve or willing to meet u half away even when u are trying.

While this course is already difficult, this professor makes it much harder to pass on on top of its difficult curriculum. Students are expected to memorize 2-4 full chapters per exam with no help as this professor does not care about his students and their grades. Lots of homework that takes hours to complete does not correlate to exams.

He does not care!!! There are no notes, no open book, no cheat sheets for exams and his lectures are exhausting. If you ask him to go over something once more he doesn't care he will just say your loss and keep moving. He doesn't want to help his students succeed.

Worst professor I've ever experienced in my 4 year college journey by far. Plz hire someone else. He doesn't have 1 care in the world for any of his students and will be a sarcastic snob to you if 'bothered' by email. Speechless by his attitude and methods.

so much hw that has nothing to do with the exams. exams are closed everything, youre not even allowed to have a formula sheet which makes the tests even more difficult. this professor has a huge ego and laughs at students who dont understand immediately. i aced accounting 1 but had a very difficult time in this class cause the prof doesnt care.

Horrid professor, avoid at all costs. Does not care to help students. 0 curves, 0 extra credit, 0 make-ups. By far worst class in college, not because of principles of accounting, but because of how he teaches, is as a professor, & as acts with his students 

I took this class online and accounting is already pretty difficult but this prof makes it so much worse. The homework doesnt correlate with the tests what so ever and theres no extra credit. He doesnt help his students at all, is rude when you email and ask questions, and just overall doesnt seem like he wants his students to succeed.

did not like him

WARNING DON'T EVEN IF A FAMILY MEMBER IS DYING YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE UP YOUR WORK.

Even with tutoring, and watching his lectures I couldn't pass. He was definitely one of my hardest classes in college so far.

worst professor at FAU

If you want an easy class this is not it. If you do not watch the lecture you will fail! Homework takes at least 2 hours to complete. Would not recommend it. Doesn't like excuses. I bet if your dog died on the day of the exam, he would not care.

This is the worst professor I've ever taken. Don't even try to send him an e-mail because he will send you a nasty reply back. There is no extra credit, no curve. I watched ALL of his lectures where he just clicks through PowerPoints quickly and doesn't explain. He's mean to students who ask questions. His exams are hard & proctored.

Most challenging class ever, professor is knowledgeable about the material but does not seem to care whether his students pass or not, does not reply to his emails, and gives an outrageous amount of homework. Avoid this class and prof if you can.

Please take anyone but this professor. Hardest class at FAU. He makes everything so difficult when it shouldn't be.

Take any other professor for accounting if possible. His class and exams are very difficult and no matter how hard I studied I couldn't score above a D. He insults students and will accuse you of cheating with zero proof. Stay away.

He clearly doesn't want students to succeed and insults us. He makes the class harder than it needs to be. What kind of 64 year old man makes fun of young and ambitious students. FAU needs to replace him with someone more reasonable. Somebody needs to put him in a retirement home so he could be free of his misery. AVIOD AT ALL COSTS

i took this during summer 2nd half, thank god i wasn't working or i def would not have time to do hw bc system glitched and all hw was due at 1pm but he refused to change it back to midnight. most challenging class ever, but he made it harder than it needs to be, tells u to ask Qs but will say that u shouldve learned this in Acct 1 if u ask the Q

This is the worst professor I have ever taken, I was sick for the first test which ended up messing up my gpa, he never let me retake it and insisted that it was my fault that i got sick, and that there was no acception. He doesn't care about his students, and he's extremely selfish. Trust me when I say this you are better off with somebody else.

He is straight-up rude and gives attitude. I do not understand why someone would take on a job to work with young adults if they cannot handle them. It is more than clear that he does not care about his students. He wants us to fail.

I usually abstain from writing negative reviews about professors (especially this early in the semester) but I'm going to make an exception for this one. He does not care about his students. He's rude when you ask him questions and don't even get me started on the exams. Although he's very knowledgeable, I would avoid him at all costs.

His teaching is very hard to follow, and the tests are even harder to do well on, I feel very under prepared when I study for multiple hours and still barely get a passing grade. He also waits last minute to post homework on canvas, so be on top of your schedule.

DO NOT TAKE HIM ONLINE!! All we got were hour long recorded lectures that we are supposed to watch. Even though its an online class, he has meetings weekly. It was two homework assignments every week that are easy enough, yet the tests were super hard.

no words. don't take him.

Horrible professor, I got failed by 1% , needed a 70 to pass and I had a 69. There is no curves, no extra credit, and no making up any assignments or exams even in the most extreme scenarios.

Just dont take him.

This professor does not care about you one bit. stay away. He does not allow you to meet with him, the only way to talk to him is if you call his phone. Does not answer his email 80% of the time. If you do happen to get in contact with him he does not care to hear what you have to say and he will try to end the conversation as fast as possible

Dont Just dont

The test are worth almost your whole grade. The test are extremely hard to pass. If you fail one test and miss a homework youre gonna have a hard time. Homework weekly and also smartbook assignments that are 60ish concepts long that take two hours to complete that are also weekly. Would not recommend, he doesnt give any extra credit or curves.

He has no regard for the student and belittles their integrity. He fails you if you make a mistake and is extremely rude, dismissive, and demeaning.

Homeworks can be long to do. All the homeworks give you 200/500 while the remaining come from exams. Exams felt difficult and there was no real understanding. Be super on top of everything as there is no make-up or extra credit. TA's try to help as they are the only communication you'll get in this class.

Absolute worst professor. He is beyond condescending and has the nastiest attitude, not sure how he is still a teacher. I bet he is writing the 5 star reviews to get his rating up, I would leave a rating of -5 if i could.

If you don't listen to any other rating, please listen to mine. Save your peace and pick another professor. This man has zero leniency and is heartless, said a FUNERAL wasn't a good excuse for missing an exam, called me on his personal cellphone to scream at me, and is overall a miserable teacher who thrives off his students failing.

Do NOT take him! Accuses every student of cheating and gives them a 0 on tests with no explanation of why he thinks they cheated. Is proud of a class average on tests being low Cs. Is nasty and disrespectful to students. Does not care if you pass or not and will fail you in a heartbeat. I don't know why he's still allowed to "teach".

I gave him a chance because some reviews said he isn't all he's made out to be. Save yourself headaches and stay away. People wanted to do badly on exams because he accused the ones who did good of cheating and threatened them saying he'd kick them out of the school. (This is coming from someone who was never accused of cheating, thank god.)

this professor has to be the worst at FAU. do not take him, he is difficult and truly could care less about his students.

My least favorite professor at FAU. Will not reason with any students for anything. Overall not a caring professor.

Did not enjoy taking his accounting 1 or 2 class. Exams are ridiculously hard, the class average for his exams are Ds and Cs (and he is somehow happy with that). He doesn't respect his students.

Do not take him he will accuse u of cheating whether it's for taking the exam in too little time or if he feels u got too high of a score. He does everything in his power to make sure that u do NOT pass the class. The head of accounting has been emailed as well as the school but FAU doesn't care to do anything about it.

So rude to students has no compassion for them. Class material is so unclear i've spent too much time on this class alone.

I warn everyone who has to unfortunately have Bruckner. He makes it very clear he knows his poor rating. And for a good reason, I say. He is very disrespectful. I had a conversation with him and was insulted by his use of words that I am "embarrassing myself". Ridiculously long homework assignments that take 2-3 hours. Proceed with caution!!!!!

I can not stress this enough any good review on here is either him or his brown-nosing TAs you can tell because most of the reviews are just his first day of class lecture verbatim. I plan on filing a complaint with the school as this professor is beyond unprofessional. Do the homework and smartbooks but they won't help on the exams.

Spare yourself the headache and take another professor. We just finished our final and because this professor has a history of creating questions well outside the material covered I wrote some down to compare with homework. Out of the 40 questions only 15 were covered in the material all the others are ones he inserts. I'm filing complaints.

Bruckner honestly does not care about his students. The exams are tough and you need to do well on them to pass the class. His lectures weren't very good. I would recommend you find a different professor. Also all the cheating accusations are crazy.

one of the worst proffesors around will never respond to an email to save his life also if you do to good on his exams he thinks that your cheating

If evil was a person, it would be Mitchell Bruckner. Let me hold your hand when I say this: even if he's the last teacher left, do NOT take his class. He called MY phone, accusing me of cheating, and as I spoke to him, he said, "I'm not one of your little friends."

I personally had a wisdom teeth removal appointment on the day of an exam, and instead of offering any flexibility, he told me I had to take the test immediately after my procedure or receive a zero-no retake, no accommodations. This professor clearly has no interest in seeing his students succeed. He seems to take pride in students failing!!

He accuses people of cheating all the time, especially if you do well. If you don't do well on one test, however, your grade is basically done. He does not care about anything or any circumstance. Even if you are sick, did not cheat, does not provide more than his posted lectures, assignments due in the middle of the day, etc. good luck never again

All of the good reviews are definitely fake, there is no way anyone could like this guy. Guaranteed he writes all of his own positive reviews. Has a nasty attitude, does not care for his students, absolutely should not be teaching, 0/5. FAU needs to do better.

just no pls don't

Professor is so arrogant and expects way too much for a basic accounting class. The practice problems given in the lectures are much simpler than the ones on the test. He tries to make the tests as confusing as possible and you can tell by how the problems are written. Do anything you can to not have this teacher. FAU needs to find someone else.

This professor was the worst professor I have had at FAU he does not post his exams on the calendar only the syllabus and if you miss an exam you are not able to make up this exam by AT ALL. He also does not honor any bit of late work even for the most extreme excuses. Do not take him at all costs!

This is the worst professor i've had in my history of schooling. The man seems like he has absolutely 0 interest in teaching and any anger he hold gets taken out on students. He does NOT honor late work even with valid excuses and he will even accuse you of cheating if you do too well on his exams. Take an in person just to avoid him at all costs!!

I took his Hybrid Accounting 1 class, and the online lectures were super difficult to follow. I started coming in person every day just to try and understand, but I still felt confused most of the time. He tries his best as a professor and cares for his students, but his teaching style is hard to follow, and his tests are very difficult.

Literally evil incarnate. This man does not care. He is not accessible at all until he wants to accuse you of cheating out of nowhere. His tests are extremely difficult for no reason. 3 Exams, all worth 100 points, 20 homework assignments each worth 10. The homework was okay, but the exams are nothing like the homework. Don't take this class.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF TAKE ANYONE ELSE. He tests on the smallest detail of the book that no one cares about and is irrelevant to any future endeavors. Test heavy and just a no.

Does not give good feedback at all and could have better lectures that clearly explain example exam questions.

I saw his reviews somehow gotten worse during the add drop week and immediately dropped this class LMAO.

I had to take this professor because there wasnt any other options and I had a bad experience. I still passed the class, but he DOES NOT accept late work. I missed one assignment due date and he would not let me make it up when it only happened once. This dropped my grade and I tried emailing him and he did not even respond.

Professor Bruckner's class isn't that hard pay attention you will do great on exams. But if you miss something and even if it's related to family deaths he won't let you make it up.

does not respond to any emails or help. if you miss anything even a small homework with a valid excuse he won't let it slide. took 3 emails over the course of 2 weeks to get a response (which was a no). would not recommend taking at all.

WORST TEACHER! Avoid at all costs unless you want to find yourself yanking your hair wondering what terrible thing you did in life to get such a miserable teacher like him. Youtube gives better lessons than he does. You would think he gets paid more for failing students by the way he lectures. I would rate him 5 tomatoes absolutely HORRIBLE

Would rather eat a porcupine than take his class again. Only take if you want this to be your 13th reason

Online class with proctored exams. I earned A's on all work/exams but was accused of cheating for looking away and using paper instead of the online scratch tool. The professor was rude and dismissive, admitted there was no cheating, yet failed me solely for using paper because I “broke the rules”. Poor/flawed communication and rigid teaching.

just pick someone else
