This class is not for the lazy, if you want to pass this class it is best to attend every session. He tests are usually focused on the topics he lectured on power point. Hard Tests, Fair grading, alot of extra credit given.

I thought he was a very helpful & insightful professor. Always encourages students to come to his office hours & ask for help. Do NOT be lazy, most of class is on lecture topics, do the HW, dont eat loud things in class, do well on the case project! Overall I thought he was a very effective teacher - one who ACTUALLY cares about his students.

Professor Tavakolian is great! He really wants his students to succeed! Its the material thats hard so you just really have to study! He offers a lot of extra credit to try and help you earn more points! I think as long as you read and do the homework you'll do great! He will also offer previous tests to help you if you ask! hope this helps!

He was a good teacher. He explained everything well and he tries to have you understand the concept. Really try to curve some of his tests to help the students out and I think almost everyone passed the class. Homework is not mandatory by it'll be helpful to be there. The notes does help.

this professor is awesome. but hes not an easy one to take. if you want to learn the material and learn it well, take his class. if you just want to pass accounting and move on to other aspects of business.. take someone else. i changed my concentration to accounting cause of this class.

Dr. Tavakolian is a really nice guy. At times the subject matter can be overwhelming, but he prepares you for what you need to know. Accounting itself isn't an easy subject, so expect to put forth some effort in studying. Some advice: Do the homework, go to class (attendance counts!), and be sure to speak up in class.

Naser has that mean look and his personality sucks kinda rude. His lectures are cool and make you interested in boring accounting stuffs. 3 out 4 randomly colleted HW, 1 Summary, 1 project, 3 hardcore exams (MC and Problems). He doesn't curve. Overall, it is a hard class and a hard teacher. If you work hard you might get a B or maybe an A-.

He may be mean to you, but I found him very helpful. I personally like a kind of lecture that goes over everything even though it may lack problem-solving. People who like this kind of lecture style should take him, but those who want problem-solving in class shouldn't take him. If you study hard on a regular basis, sure you will get an easy A

He does curve for the final grade: a B+ becomes A- in regular semester or a B becomes an A in summer(well, bc summer is so intense). So it's not as bad as some people said. Personally I think it's a better deal than extra credits given in other classes. There is really no shortcut for any acct 302 classes. So, STUDY! He is a good professor.

His lectures are clear and make you interested in accounting stuffs. 3 out 4 randomly collected HW, 1 summary, 1 financial reporting case, 3 exams (about 12 MCs and 4 Problems). The exam problems are pretty easy as long as you understand all the materials. Remember do all the HW, it helps!

He's a great teacher! Collects randomly 3 out of 4 homework and give extra credits for being neat. There are 2 exams and a final, plus a paper and extra credit assignment. He really knows his materials and give you what the real world wants! Do the homework, attend lectures, and you'll do fine.

I really liked this prof. Always gave extra points for neat work. I would take another class from him. READ THE BOOK! He will up your grade in the end if you have improved.

Go to class and get a easy A. Lots of extra credits.

Very tough. Does use the slides too much. Really does care about students. If you do well it's because you know your stuff.

Just do the hw assignment and understand the logic, u'll get an easy A. For those who doesnt go to class prepared, wait til the last minute to study @ the library and cry about bad grade, AVOID this class AT ALL COST!

Reading and doing the homework before class helps a lot since his lectures reinforce what you learn. He's not the nicest teacher and is sometimes rude to students in class but he can teach the material pretty well. Stay on top of the readings and homework and you should get the material fine. Study hard for the midterms and final.

Lecture comes from the book, but professor tavakolian gives extra tips. Hints: print out slides, go to class, do hw, study each chapter carefully.

If you know how to do the homework with independent thinking and really understand the materials, guess you will PASS the exams, but MOST LIKELY NOT WITH AN A. There are lots of materials on the exams, and the time given is just not enough! Good professor, but too hard and demanding on exams for the time given. Unless school is all you do, take him

Got a D in acct 100 during summer, should have gotten the same grade this semester but the professor boosted my grade to a C- for attending class everyday, sitting in the front everyday, taking notes everyday and doing all the homework. Acct is hard, every teacher is going to be hard, but he tries his best to be on your side. He wants you to pass.

He uses both PPT and works problems in class. He adds on different scenarios on most of the classroom exercise. Accounting is a hard subject, but if you listen to his lecture, and practice the things he discuss in class right after, an A is not a problem at all. The bottom line is quality over quantity: study effectively! If you're a practical

I recommend professor Naser-Tavakolian. He's such a wonderful professor who wants students to succeed in the class and the real world. I want to give you an objective review about him based on my experience so you won?t be scared away by commends from students who take no responsibility as a student and slash out their anger of their failures in cl

He's very Smart & talks about current events!People who talk bad about him are not willing to put the effort that he requires.He's not the easiest prof. but you'll learn A LOT from him!Pay attention to his lecture as everything he says can be on the essay question, do your assignments and you will be fine!I'm glad I got to take a class with him! :)

He's pretty old fashioned,just show up to class with the slide shows, and review them prior to class. show up to his office hours. gives great fatherly advice, kinda of a reality check. overall a great professor

I highly recommend you to take his class!!! He alway helps you a lot not only in the course subject, but also your personal life. The most inportant is: he gives you a lot extra credit to improve your final score, and you will get an additional curved when you final score issued. I like him!

This prof is not the easiest out there;however, he will take the time to help u.The summer was intense,but go to class each day,ask questions and he'll notice that.He'll give you an added boost to grade. U really have to work for ur grade.Read the book, do the hw & practice practice problems.ur then golden w test.He's onry at times,then funny burst

I don't know why he received such bad reviews. If you go 2 class, read the book (I used online book) and put in some effort, you will get a decent grade. I had no problem understanding his accent and he's actually quite funny/entertaining. And he really doesn't try 2 trick U on the exams like others have stated. Practice the homework problems ALOT!

Mr. Tavakolian is a very helpful professor. If you work hard and improve, he will boost your final grade, and he is not a hard grader. As long as you try to do the exam problems, he will give you credits. Accounting 302 is a very hard class; the only thing to pass the class is read the book and do the problems as many times as you can.

Professor Tavakolian is a great teacher.Just put in the effort, study hard (because obviously this is a difficult subject)and do the hw assignments(wileyplus helped a lot)- he will acknowledge that and boost your final grade. Go to class, take good notes, and study hard, it really was a difficult subject to grasp.

I took summer session and here's the deal. You need to study a few hours every single day. This isn't an easy class and the professor is pretty chill. He sarcastic and funny, and he knows what he's doing. He boosts grades at the end and always takes effort into consideration. Good guy!

Hard class but he's a pretty helpful teacher. If you do all the homework and study the textbook it's easy to get an A. He wants everyone to pass and if you do the work he will bump your grade. He's a little weird but he can be funny and he's really knowledgable.

Hard class but a very good instructor to take it with. He is demanding, but explains the subject very well. High quality instructor, will teach you what you need to know from this class.

He tells you what you need to do to succeed and will help those that make the effort to do well. and he does bump up grades significantly if he thinks they've earned it

Definitely a hit or miss professor. I failed the first two exams, got a C on the final, and ended up with a B in the class. Do ALL your homework and try not to miss more than one class. As long as you get an A on all your homework, you will easily pass with a C. At the end of the semester, he bumps people's grades depending on attendance and hw.

Yes, he can be strict and his tests can be hard. BUT, like others have said, he will reward those who show up to class and put in effort, even if you struggle. My test scores were horrible, but I still passed because I went to every class and showed him I was serious about doing well by asking for help in his office hours. Not much more to say.

-Straightforward lectures: PowerPoint used -Cares about students -Practices examples from textbook -Assigns homework from textbook -Keeps track of your attendance -Weekly homework: online and handwritten -Exams can get difficult

This professor really does the best he can to make sure you pass, but only if you put the effort into the class and give him reason to care. It's really important to do the homework, attend and participate in class, and especially leave a solid impression. He also curves on tests and gives extra credit, but don't depend on that for a good grade.

I'm surprised this professor has a super low rating-- but then again not everyone learns the same way. I took this class for ACCT 100 and I did fine, mainly because I did extra self-study outside of class. This is the type of class where your efforts is reflected on your grade (like all the other accounting courses). The professor is funny and nice
