Great teacher,good class, pay attention do the work get a good grade. very energetic and a big dolly parton fan. enjoyable class
Excellent Instructor - The Best
Mr. Ober was awesome. Very laid back and easy going. Got right to the point of each chapter and didn't bore you with anything that wasn't important. Very informative and fair. Wish I could have him for every class.
A funny teacher, very helpful a huge dolly parton fan.
Excellent Instructor! Gives average/lots of work/assignments. You will need a lot of time to complete his assignments, but you will learn a lot. If you want to learn then take his class.
Excellent teacher! The Best!
i hate accounting but ober is very helpful and flexible. you have to go to class because you get class attendance points which can really make or brake your grade. it is difficult material but if you have to have this class take it with him
Very Good!
Awesome teacher! If you have the chance I would definately take his class. He makes the subject fun.
Great teacher. Be sure and show up for every class for points and do all your homework. The only downer is homework takes a long time. Energetic about Accounting, but could go without the swearing. Would like to be taking him next semester. Poor Dolly Parton just doesn't know what she is missing. Thanks Mr. O! You rock!
Excellent instructor! Must take!!!!
Mr. Ober was a wonderful Instructor. Show up for every class, ask questions, do the homework, which is very time consuming. I really enjoyed him as an instructor, he is very energetic and excited about accounting, give him your best and he will give you his best.
Mr. Ober you are the greatest!
MR.OBER WAS A GREAT TEACHER! HE IS EASY, ATTEND ALL CLASSES. HE GIVES 10 POINTS JUST FOR COMING TO CLASS! HOMEWORK IS FAIRLY EASY...MUST HAVE BOOK!I AM TAKING HIS FINANICAL ACCOUNTING CLASS...
I loved this class! Mr. Ober was very knowledgeable in this subject and very tolerant of annoying students...We had a few! He responds quickly to e-mails and answers any questions that one might have. You could catch him busy in his office and he was more than happy to offer his assistance. One bad thing: He doesn't teach Managerial Accounting!
I looooved this class! He made it soo easy and made a boring subject fun! As long as you go to class and semi-participate you'll get an A! I wish he taught Managerial Accounting!
must take if you have to take an accounting course!
Great teacher! I wish he taught Managerial Accounting too!
Great teacher for an intro accounting class. Go to class and do your homework and you get an A.
I really liked this teacher. He made it easy to follow and understand things.
I like Mr. Ober is engeretic. He is fun! Wakes the class up. I like him very much.
AWESOME!! Highly recommend..you understand it and if you dont he will be more than happy to show you again...wants everyone to pass and understand..cares about you and your grades...very funny not a dull class at all!!
Best teacher I've had so far. Made accounting fun and easy, when all i've ever heard was how hard accounting classes are. Totally recommend!!
This is the man to take financial acct with. He's fun, he's easy but not too much so. Come to class, participate and do the homework, shouldn't have a problem getting and A.
Mr. Ober what can I say he is an extrodinary teacher whom builds confidence he keeps the class on the edge of their seats with his fun energetic teaching he gives you the opportunity to earn extra points and he knows his subject back and forth keep up the good work Mr. Ober you have gave me confidence
He was awesome. has to be one of the easiest teachers ive had. go to class, do the online homework, and the test are all online and you have unlimited tries at the answers. its pretty much fail proof.
Great teacher! You MUST go to class to understand how to do the homework, but everything is online: homework (which you can do as many times as you need until you get 100%)and tests (some you may be able to take more than once).
Mr. Ober is a very fair teacher. He takes a not so interesting topic (accounting) and makes it fun and interactive. Some like to say he is easy but I think he want to give his students the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and figure it out on their own as much as possible.
This guy knows his stuff!! Got to be one of the most energetic teachers I have ever had. He makes Accounting fun, I look forward to his class! Take him, you won't be disappointed, also he is not too bad on the eyes either!
Amazing teacher. Fun. Energetic. Helpful. Fair. I absolutely love going to his class. I never missed a day. It was easy if you showed up for lecture. It was pretty much fail proof.
took blended course. u must show up for class or u wont understand HW and it takes away from grade if you miss. hw and test are online. grea teacher wants u to learn acct basics
Excellent Instructor!
This was a challenging class. Be sure you do the reading, as some of the homework is not covered in class and is only in the textbook. Every class is mandatory and necessary to learn the material. This is a difficult subject, but Mr. Ober made it fun and interesting. The online assignments helped the learning process.
Highly recommended!
Awesome Teacher!!! He is a blast. I loved his class. Extremely Helpful. Not 2 Much Hmwk Assigned. Only had like 2 major assigments(research papers). Only 1 Quiz and NO TESTS(Yipeee).
Must take!
Mr Ober is great! I highly recommend him as an accounting teacher! HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT and he's not afraid to tell you! I've really enjoyed taking him this semester! He always lets you leave early (you have the option to stay) and you dont have to show up to class on test days! If you have the chance, TAKE HIM!
Mr.Ober is very interesting to listen to, and very spirited and enthusiastic in his presentations. He works with students to help make up tests and gives extra credit. Don't bother him too much with emails, you might get a sting or two if you ask a stupid question. Overall an excellent teacher.
I took his blended financial accounting class. We met once a week. All tests, assignments, and sometimes quizzes are online. We only took one quiz in class and it was easy. I definitely recommend going to class everyday though because if you don't, you will get behind. I left his class with an A. He does offer a ton of bonus too.
Makes financial accounting fun. AWESOME teacher. Join PBL and get the extra credit. Wait til he goes over the chapter to do the homework and show up to class (6.25 points every class). Would LOVE to take this professor again!!
If you want to learn financial accounting then I would take this professor! All homework/assignments all done on-line. Attendance points given for attending class. He explains each chapter very well.
AWESOME PROFESSOR.
Fantastic teacher!I passed his class w/ an A+. Just do your homework which is online and go to class. Also take those extra credit chances. I did and in the end I didn't have to take my finals cause I already have over a 100%. So even if I didn't take it I still had a 96 which is still a passing grade. He's fantastic if you ask me. Always smiling
good teacher
Like Mr Ober He knows the book and the material that his is teaching. Wish he was teaching managerial accounting I would take him.
Awesome teacher! best class I have ever taken. Always looked forward to it. He is so helpful & understanding, can't go wrong with choosing MR. O!
Excellent instructor!
The homework is done online and so are the tests. Mr. Ober is very excited about being an accounting instructor, which makes an otherwise boring subject a little more fun. I'd definitely take his class again, and was disappointed to learn he doesn't teach Managerial Accounting.
Excellent teacher. Very helpful and understanding. Makes the subject very easy to understand, and is very fair to students. Definitely a must take for financial accounting.
I had Prof. Ober for ACCT 2213, which is Financial Accounting. It's a very useful class, and I would highly recommend taking it if you can--especially if he's teaching. He is the best teacher I've ever had, and as long as you show up and pay attention, you can't possibly fail his class. If you do, it's your fault, not his.
Literally the greatest teacher I have ever had. Believe me he should be teaching a course on how to teach to all the other professors. I have so much respect for him. Notes are helpful not useless, homework is just hard enough, tests are fair and practice tests are provided. Do the practice tests and you will do very will.
Took this class online, was very easy at first but did get progressively harder. It helps to read your book to understand the material but everything was online. Didn't have to go to the testing center for tests, which was a plus for me. Gives multiple opportunites for extra credit. Make sure to complete all homework. Easy A!
Mr.Ober is a nice guy.I had him for computer concepts.Very difficult class.Most work online.Don't expect Computer Concepts to be easy.
I really liked the class. You are doing a 6-8 part assignment each week. He gives you opportunities for extra credit. The one thing I didnt like was his attitude via email, he came across as demeaning and rude sometimes.
EASY at first, then the course became more challenging!There is a lot of studying & note taking to pass this online class.The online class is not too hard just study & take notes and you will pass with an A or B+.I would suggest taking accounting online instead of in the class room.The course work/tests are much easier online than in the classroom
Must take if you want to learn Financial Accounting!
Excellent Instructor for accounting!
Excellent instructor! Must take for Financial Accounting. All assignments on-line!
Taking his course in Financial Accounting was life changing! One of the most interesting and caring professors at TCC - Metro Campus. Love him!
He is one of the best teachers for Computer Concepts and Financial Accounting. He makes all the concepts so easy and understandable. I loved his class. Exams and quizzes are very fair, if you go to the class everyday.
Great professor!
Took Mr. Ober's online Financial Acct class. He was very clear and responded quickly to emails, but like most online courses it's pretty much self-taught with the book and website. All HW and Tests were done online (nothing on campus), textbook mandatory. His grading system is more than fair. Pretty easy to make an A.
It is pretty much a self-paced, self-taught class. It wasn't too hard to make an A, but there is lots of homework and studying involved. I took the class online and didn't have much trouble with the assignments/tests. Everything is done online.
everything was laid out that was due every week. If you did the weekly assignments then you basicly guarantee yourself an A, and he expects everyone to complete the course with such a grade! He also offers tons of extra credit that is really simple. deff take this class!
Great professor. I highly recommend. All work & test were online (no proctored tests). He responds quickly to all emails. Homework was minimal. Overall easy class....I wish he taught Managerial Accounting too.
I took Mr. Obers class, and I loved it. He was very clear and tried to make the class fun. He does give extra credit if you join PBL. He is one of the very best. Really wish he taught managerial accounting. I would take any class he taught.
LOTS of busy work! easy to get an A though since the class is work 2,000 points. Emails are kind of rude, but it seems no one else in my class did any work. Extra credit is available for joining Phi Beta Lambda but as long as you do your work, you really wont need it. Oh, but there are no breaks in the 16 wk class, even with holidays
took 16wk online course on Pearsonlab. Thought maybe I'm stupid so I got help from two high level Accountants in the field for 20 years both agreed VERY HARD and doesn't match what's currently practiced in the field. Ober insulted me when I asked him for help. All extra credit is on campus so if you work fulltime forget it, no xtra credit for u!
Lots of work but not hard. 100% online. Easy to get a good grade as long as you do the work and apply yourself. Great professor, I have taken him twice for different classes. Would highly recommend.
Mr. Ober is an excellent teacher. His lectures are very high energy and upbeat. In class he provides you with the core information that you need to complete your homework and tests which are in the pearson accounting lab. He is very quick to respond to e-mails and is helpful to students who are interested in his class. You must take Mr. Ober.
Class is all online and as long as you do the work you make a good grade. This is my second class with Prof Ober and although he is still not the friendliest guy, he was better this time than last time!
The best instructor ever!
Mr. Ober's blackboard site was disorganized, many parts didnt work at all such as the discussion board (which is pretty important for an online class). He only communicated a few times with the class and during those seemed annoyed to be bothered. I've taken many online courses and he was by far the least involved teacher to date,disappointing.
One of the best accounting instructors at TCC.
One of the best accounting instructors at the Metro Campus.
I took this 8 week course in the summer. His expectations are very clear. There are about 16 chapters, 200 questions per chapter, and 4 exams. If you do all the assignments you'll have so many points you could probably skip the last exam and still pass.
I'm not the best with numbers, but it is still pretty easy to get an A in the course. Three assignments due a week. There are couple of quizzes and three exams during the semester, all of which can be taken from home. He is quick and friendly in his email responses. Overall I had a great semester.
A very good on-line instructor!
Quite possibly the easiest (online) class Ive ever taken. If you need this for a business degree, take him! He isnt the most communicative professor, short, direct messages/emails, does take awhile to answer but he's not as bad as he first seems. This was my 2nd course with Ober. I could knock out the weeks worth of assignments under 2 hours.
Great instructor! Course is all laid out on-line. Had this instructor for other courses too. Highly recommend.
Excellent Professor! On-Line class is all laid out and easy to understand. Since it's an on-line class there is somewhat a group of assignments that may take a while to complete. Content is very good material.
Fantastic professor! I do not particularly enjoy accounting, and I was a bit intimidated by this course, but Mr. Ober was incredibly helpful and made learning the subject matter a breeze. He was very willing to help - if you ever needed anything explained, visiting him during his office hours was very beneficial.
TAKE HIM! There is a ton of assignments but you can do all the homework for a week in 2 hours and it's all online! You can even summit the homework once to get the answers and then retake it for full credit! So many points you can skip a test and still receive an A+!! Super easy! Plug the test/quizzes into google for the answers!
Professor Ober is an amazing professor. He is so helpful and gives great lectures. He takes the time out to learn all of her students names and is really funny. Accounting is not an easy course but he definitely made it a lot easier. He gives clear lectures and is always willing to answer questions. He really makes sure that you understand.
Seems like he's an okay professor if you have him in class. I'm taking an online computer class from him and anytime I email him he gets irritated. I think I've emailed him 2 or 3 times and I'm 3 months into the course. If you aren't taking many classes it might be okay, but 18 long assignments a week is not my cup of tea.
Excellent Instructor for both Financial Accounting and Computer Concepts. Best in a classroom setting! Good lectures and covers examples of problems for the on-line content part of the class
He's hilarious and a good teacher. Lots of online work.
He is very helpful and nice. You have lecture one day, and lab the other. His test are kinda difficult though. If you are interested in the technology, then you will do good. I was not interested at all, but I made a B.
All your assignments are online and i gotta admit the best part about him was the fact that he was always willing to reopen an assignment so you can try again. or take the timer off of a test so you wont be pressured. Other than those things he is not that great at all. His lectures are not thorough so you may not understand. It truly sucked.
I have taken this class multiple times, but I never got the C- I needed to pass. Ober has been the most honest, fair, and hilarious professor I've ever had. because of him, I went from failing mostly everything in this class, to getting an A on the first exam. Honestly he is the best professor I've ever had.
This class can be easy, if it's the only class you're taking. Computer concepts & applications is a lot of tedious online homework, sometimes his lectures weren't informative. I don't think he knew how to convey exactly what needed to be done on certain assignments, overall tests, homework were online. Use the link on TCC for Microsoft programs.
Professor Ober is an excellent instructor for someone that is new to Accounting. His lectures are informative and entertaining. He is always willing to provide extra help for students having trouble with the material. Professor Ober does everything he can to make the material understandable. I would recommend this professor to anyone.
LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM. Most enjoyable class. This is a class you do not have to stress about and will enjoy going to. If you have the opportunity to take him do it.
My only complaint was that this class was so boring it seemed like the lectures went on for forever and homework was long (but simple) assignments but it wasn't hard whatsoever! Very easy class and probably interesting if you're into computers. The homework was super easy it was just time consuming Overall easy class nice professor
I took him for an Online Intro to Business class. Seriously, the easiest class ever!!! You want an A, take him!!! I spent maybe 2-3 hours max a week with this class. Everything is open book... I'm glad I took this class!
Easy A. Everything is open book and easy to understand. There was a lot of assignments, but it was quick to get through.
Is teaching too many classes to care about students asking for help. He acts like he's put out if he has to make an effort.
Great on-line professor!
pretty good online professor, made all assignments available at the beginning of the semester if you want to work ahead, clear outlines of due dates. I would take him again. If you just do your work you'll do good. offers extra credit if you go to business meeting thing however he never put my extra credit in, still made an A
Class is very hard for computers. LOTS of assignments, quizzes, projects and tests. Not grade at communicating and his replies come off rude & belittling. Extra credit for showing up to a club he heads. Prepare to spend 6-7 hours a day doing classwork, including weekends.
As long as you do the assignments you will get a good grade. He give ample time to complete everything so if you get behind you will have a change to catch up.
Super easy class!. All assignments are available online the day class starts so you can get ahead of schedule. The textbook practically gives you the answers. He does take attendance but you're not graded for it, it will make it a lot easier if you go though. He gives you multiple opportunities to do assignments if you don't like your grade.
Mr. Ober really cares that his students understand his material. He is very elementary sometimes, but he just wants to break down everything so you understand! Do all your homework and you will ace your tests. Everything is open book and he really cares.
Do the work and you get the credit. Simple class, just keep up with the homework it is not technically due until the end of the class, but he has a scedule made for you. I took the 8 week class and it was very manageable.
Teacher is great and gives good feedback! The class is very simple and not hard at all, just do the work and follow directions and its an easy A! I did this course online and it is just an easy computer class.
The class itself is very simple you just have to put the time in to complete the assignments. To start the class schedule is kind of hard to follow but wants you get used to the format of the class it becomes pretty easy. Quick to reply to emails but not very much communication is done after the initial start of class. Lots of textbook reading.
Class is easy just keep up with online assignments, teacher is just a little weird at times and he likes you to repeat back everything to him while he lectures. You could make a drinking game for the amount of times he says to a degree and his lectures are very boring and pointless because everything we do is online.
The class is easy but the lectures are pointless and boring. He has an odd method of teaching, he wants you to repeat everything he says. He'll tell you to look at him or say "is that understood" 100 times a class. He means well but can be pretty offensive or misogynistic on accident. If you can't refrain from speaking out, I wouldn't take him.
SO AWESOME! He really cares about his students and will work with whatever schedule you have going on. He's super funny and his classes are very enjoyable and you will learn a lot ! Study and make an A!
Great, clear instructor. Knew what was expected. Would take her again.
Pretty meh about class/professor. If you've worked in an office for even a few years, most of the concepts are second nature. Wish you could see what was incorrect on quizzes right away, instead of waiting until after the deadline to go back and review. Read ALL of the chapter, not just highlighted areas. Quiz will be on more than LearnSmart
An excellent Accounting Instructor! Go to class every week and complete the assignments! And you will do fine.
The most entertaining professors at TCC for Computer Concepts. My class was at 9:30 AM and he had no problem waking me up with his energy and enthusiasm. He makes everything interesting and has very colorful examples. His impersonations are great.
Good Teacher. Seems to relate to students well. Nice Guy. Is Realistic.
This class was online and has A LOT of homework. Assignments can take a large time period to complete. Professor Ober is very kind and fairly responsive. His deadlines were at the end of the semester and so you worked at your own pace on MOST things. Tests were all open book due to it being online and therefore easy A. I would recommend this course
I took Professor Ober for his online 8 week course in computer concepts. He was an amazing professor and easy to reach if needed. Stay organized if you take his class since he assigns a lot of homework.
He is very easy to get ahold of if needed. I took this class completely online and it was fairly easy. There were some times that the content was a little hard to understand since you had to use a premade PowerPoint for notes. If there is something you don't get, don't be afraid to ask him or look up some videos for verbal explanations.
I personally did not like this class. It was so hard to reach him outside of class. He never replied to none of my emails the entire semester. This class was difficult to complete when using a Mac computer. It is an easy A but he do give quite a bit of homework. He's pretty cool about due dates and things being "late". He wants everyone to pass.
Professor Ober is really nice! He is funny and laid back. I appreciated how he explained things in a way that was easy to understand. The class is really easy if you show up and do the work. He responds to e-mails in a timely manner. He genuinely wants everyone to pass. I would highly recommend him!
Professor Ober is amazing! He ultimately just wants his students to pass while actually learn something from the class. The program used for this course helped me really learn and enjoy the class. He is very laid back. I would STRONGLY recommend taking his class if you want to see if you like accounting!!
Professor Ober's CSCI class taught me a lot. The class was online and completely open from day 1 so we were able to complete early if we desired. Curriculum and syllabus was easy to follow and I was able to complete the 8 week class in 6 weeks. I especially like the "show me, guide me, let me try" style of the lessons. Great experience overall.
Professor Ober made this class a breeze! He had prompt email responses and was understanding of COVID-19 or illness. Highly recommend!
