Very nice, ask lots of questions and you will do well in class
He's fair. Ask as many questions as you can because he's a little difficult to understand sometimes.

He is not very clear,but he is very helpful. When you have a problem about the work, he would work with you,until you understand. He have to see that you are interesting in your school work. He is very fair.
Very hard to understand. At time very arrogant and can be upsetting. Be prepare to learn and your own. His test are very hard. He gives a review test to study from which has about 400 questions and he may pick three or four questions.
Worst teacher I ever had!! very unorganized, had to hound him on order to get any grades back from him . Rude and does not help his students. Be prepared to work on your own.
You will teach yourself, not organized at all. He will not give you your grades, you have to annoy him with e-mail for him to post assignments. Hard to understand and very arrogant. Good Luck
Have to teach yourself in this class. You will never see any grades. He is very arrogant and rude, and also difficult to understand.
He is very hard and his accent is very deep. He moves very fast and doesn't like to be held back by students who can't keep up. If you want to work hard and really understant financial accounting then you should take him.
Not very helpful and understanding.
All I can say is learn how to speak english. Very hard to understand. Whoever hires these professors that can not speak well is off their rocker.
this class sucked. i took it online b/c i heard he was hard to understand, well that was even worse. i had more work to do for this online class than all my other classes combined. worst teacher ever. never take, should be fired
Must teach yourself and he gives the hardest tests I have ever had. He is not usually nice, but can be funny at times. Very hard to understand.
I thought about take this class online, but I heard that it was so much work. Decided to take the regular class. BIG MISTAKE! I would have been better off taking the online class. the only difference between this class & the online one is that you have to go to his lectures. All work is done online.

Very deep accent. Lectured straight from the book, even using the power point slides from the books website. Every week you had to read the chapter, take the books online quiz and email it to him before he even taught the chapter. Midterm and Final was extremely long and difficult.
You practically have to teach yourself the work...class moves very fast. Must be able to keep up.
He is probably on of the easiest and funniest professors i have ever taken. The midterm and the final questions are taken right from the home work and quizes. Do your home work and study your quizes and you are guaranteed an A. He was available for help during and after office hours.
Take at your own risk. Bad , I have never had a professor so bad. I think he hates teaching. Very bad accent. Avoid at all cost. Please
He is the worst professor Ive ever had. Totally unorganized, picks favorites, extremly slow with getting grades back, very arrogant, strong accent so hes hard to understand, grades hard, never responds to emials or students questions and belittles students. I recommend not taking him.
if you do you work and study it will be a breeze. dont be scared to ask questions the more you ask he'll like you more n then he will be more than welcome help you if you show interest.
Terrible. Good Luck.
He's not clear at all when explaining anything. He expects you to understand everything just as well as he does when he explains thing. He belittles students when they answer wrong, even the ones that know what they're doing. The worst part is the way he makes us do our homework on Excel. No other accounting teacher does that.
Excellent Professor. As long as you show effort in and out of class with homework and participation and the project you will do fine. Answer questions and know what your talking about. Managerial concepts from Man AcC will be mandatory. "what is POHAR?" is his favorite phrase.
By far the worst teacher i have ever had in my 3 years of college! Take him only if you want to fail.
This is my first review ever.Thats how bad this guy is. He is the worst professor I have ever had .He doesn't help his students at all, just gives sarcastic responses and treats people like they are incompetent. Such a hostile environment makes you not want to respond or do any of the HW bc you get bashed if its wrong. Terrible at what he does.
great class. great content very relevant in the real world
AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COST.I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS THE WORDT PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER CAME ACROSS IN ALL MY LIFE. HE IS VERY SMART AND KNOW THE MATERIAL BUT JUST DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH IT. THIS IS NOT AN EASY EASY A ITS MORE LIKE AND EASY D, OR F
A breeze....accounting is not for clowns, come to clas prepared and it will be a easy. Don't read, don't do the homework and you will fail.
Not the most clear professor, definitely the worst accounting professor at the school. Talks down and demeans students. However getting a B is relatively simple if you do the work.
Do not take this professor. I have never gotten a grade below a B in any of my college courses (and I've taken hard classes), but I got a C- in this class! The tests are NOTHING like anything in the textbook and both the midterm and final are worth 30% each of your grade! Definitely avoid this professor at all costs!
This guy has no clue how to teach the class. He belittles students, and tells you you're wrong even if you get the answer right. Puts everyone on the spot as well. On top of that he doesn't teach you anything. Easily the worst professor I've ever had...Don't take!!!
terrible teacher. i got an A only because i worked my ass off. can't understand him during class. class is long and boring. homework is easy. tests are horrible. if you ask him a question he will just dance around it and never help you.
He also has some of the sexiest sideburns I've ever seen.. :)
WORST PROFESSOR EVER! Does not help students and makes them feel stupid when they answer a question. Doesn't teach well or provide any examples to help understand material. Basically have to teach yourself when doing homework. Not sure how he even has a job as a professor. DO NOT TAKE!
He is the worst to take ever in history.. i do not know why he even teaches he doesnt know what he is talking about half the time. He is extremely RUDE! Just please do not take him. i was fortunate enough to drop his class because i had the time too. DO NOT TAKE THIS LOSER!
Took this course online because I always do great with those. This prof is the WORST! Does NOT get back to you, does NOT answer e-mails/questions, midterm & final are IMPOSSIBLE to do good on. He belittles students & makes them feel worthless. Don't give this guy the pleasure of taking your money, take someone else TRUST ME! Cant say I didnt warn u
He was to me a great inspiration and guided me to be more research oriented on current issues
He's honestly not as bad as everyone is saying.. he does not speak english well but he is understandable. if you do the homework youll be fine. he takes his quiz questions from the review section and his mid-term and final are the questions from the quizzes for the most part.
This is the worst teacher in history. Doesn't teach you anything and rips students apart. Took him in the summer and skipped half his classes b/c he was awful. Ended up getting a B when Nyaboga (very good) took over. Bottem line, don't even bother with this guy.
The Worst
acct. is a rough course no matter what..but when trying to teach urself the information as well as taking 4 other classes its pretty crazy..his lectures r useless u cant understand him..easier to read the book-teach urself-study for quizzes&do the HW..1 quiz & 1 HW per week, 1 midterm, 1 final, 3 PE papers (1 pg each)..show him that ur working hard
I learned nothing in this class and got a B+. This class was useless but hes the only one who teaches Cost Accounting so you have to take him. Good Luck!!
Did not learn a thing. Does not teach or answer questions. Go to class, do all hw and quizzes, pe and paper and you will pass. Only 1 teaching cost..no choice but to take him. big time curve
absolutely useless teacher, if u want to learn anything. dosent wanna answer any questions. just do quizzes and homework, u'll pass, but wont learna nything at all. one of the worst i ever had
WORST professor of all time. U will end up teachin urself so make friends in the class & do the work together. Do all the online quizzes and homeworks & u should be able to manage a B+ regardless of how bad u do on the quiz and final (u will do poorly). He belittles students so ask questions at ur own risk. You have been warned.
bigest timewest ever in my life.
worst prof i have ever had.
Took online - BB assignments for each chapter - if he doesnt agree with you - not a good grade, doesnt make much sense to be completely honest. BUT if you read your chapters, this was a summer class - he had NO quizes, just Midterm and Final which were based completly on Homework assignments in myaccountinglab.com. no very helpful at all.
He's a difficult professor in that he's not clear with his comments and often disagrees with your hw responses (if they are wrong) in a condescending manner. You'll basically teach yourself the material, submit hw on blackboard and take exams and practice tests on myaccountinglab. Unfortunately he serves better as a course proctor than professor.
Work hard and you'll get an A... real world accounting takes effort and so does the class...
I wish I could say you can avoid him but you cannot as he is the only professor teaching this course. There is little to no point in attending the lectures since he doesn't cover half of what is on his powerpoints to a full extent. All you need to do is study every chapter to the point where you cannot forget a thing and you will do fine.
Huge waste of time. Doesn't make any sense and his lectures reflect nothing of the tests/quizzes. Don't bother.
I've had this professor twice. I really like him, but he is hard. If you read the book and do the homework you will be fine. The people that are saying bad things are the lazy people, I am sure. Weekly quizzes. Midterm and final. Easy if you study. Everything is straight from the book.
Took his accounting class online after failing the class taught by a different teacher not online. Accounting is a lot easier if you teach it to yourself and the textbook he uses is really helpful, ended up getting an A. Definitely one of those classes that is better to be taken online.
If you do the homework, you should be fine on the midterm and final exam. All the answers are in the textbook, there is no excuse for not getting an A.
I like Muroki Mwaura. The expectations of the class do change from time to time, but honestly it's usually to benefit the class as a whole. He certainly isn't in the business to screw anyone over. It's a lot of individual work and takes time, but that's the nature of accounting. He also accepts and clearly answers questions. Cool guy.
He's the worst teacher I've ever had. You can barely understand him. He sits there an tells the class how its all your fault if you don't know the material. All of the work is online and he has absolutely no grasp of it, He is extremely unsympathetic as well. He gives way too much homework and doesn't go over it.
does anyone know a good tutor that can actually go over this class for me? its hard when he spends 90% of the class time talking about how he expects us to do poorly and how its our fault if we do bad. no one is ever allowed to ask questions because he 1. doesn't answer and 2. makes fun of you. over all worst prof. ive ever had.
You can not really understand when he talks. He has an accent and likes to talk quickly. When you ask questions, he doesn't answer them and expects you to know it. Was not helpful to the students that were extremely confused. I would not take again. He gave a quiz every week, a midterm, a final, two term papers, and online homework.
He messed up our midterm big time and instead of taking responsibility, he scheduled another one with only 5 classes left with a test every week, 2 papers, and a final still due. 99% of the students take him because they register late, I would still say not to take him even if he's the only section left. he will make you hate your major and life.
This professor is the worst professor I have ever had. I am warning you DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I've never met somebody with such little patience and harshness. IF you ask a question he will berate you as if its the dumbest thing he has heard in his life. Not to mentions the quizes and exams. He constantly creates an answer key that is incorrect.
He gave us a 86 question review packet for the final and only 3 similar questions were on it. Not worth the stress, do not take him. I'm so happy I'm done with him forever.
During the semester he gave out quizzes every week, one midterm, and one final. He does not answer questions without belittling the student, His "review sheets" are worthless because the tests are never similar, He reads off of a powerpoint that he didnt make, His class is death by powerpoint, and hes hard to understand. Avoid him at all costs.
This class was such a big disappointment. He reads off power points teaching you nothing, belittles students, and gives study guides that are not like the exam. I haven't come across this style of teaching at WPU. It was a waste of my time and money.
took prof. in person b4 for another accounting class and hated it! the course was difficult but he was a good professor, i didnt do as i should have (i passed but barely). took him for this course online, it was A LOT of assignments, and 50% if submitted a minute pass deadline, i put in the work and got an A. you get what you put in! he's fair!!
He's not that bad anymore. Totally toned down. Gives great reviews for the weekly quiz if the class begs for it. Online homework. Be a good class and he might make your mid term and final online. really funny during the lecture though.
An extreme improvement and willing to work with the class as he understands it's tough. Midterm and Final were both online and gave a whole day to submit it. There is online homework per chapter but unlimited tries and feeback. Roughly five in-class quizzes although the syllabus will say weekly. Show him respect as a class!!! Very funny professor.
Professor is fair and willing to work with students. Both midterm and final were online, I believe if the class as a whole show interest and participate you'll be okay. Also, multiple attempts for homework to increase grades, as long as they are completed by due date. He will take highest grade on hw attempts.
Cost accounting is super hard. That being said, he was really helpful to our class. All the hw was done online on connect but you get to rework your problems if you get them wrong so you can get full credit. Mid-term and final online too. If you show the guy some respect, he will work with you. He knows cost is hard, ask for help and he'll give it!
You only take him when he is the only professor available, however he is an awful teacher who belittles students and cannot explain concepts to save his life. Homework is online, in class quizzes are impossible, online midterm took ages to learn how to do and get a good grade. You will regret taking him for sure, you wont learn anything.
The guys excellent!!!
Online Midterm and Final. Homework is online. He made the course easier from recent years.
He belittles students beyond belief. When he teaches, he interrupts you while you are trying to answer and says you are wrong. Will say "blah blah blah" while he is teaching. Only take him if you are in desperate need of a professor. Quizzes in class and take home are an upside. Homework and exams are online.
This professor was awesome! Definitely taking him again. Reads from a powerpoint but also explains the material. Is always funny which is a good thing because it is accounting. Homework, midterm and final are online. I recommend this professor.
This professor doesn't even try to teach. He reads off of the slides (I say "read" but i mean mumble), asks questions that no one knows the answer to and get visibly upset when you don't know it. There is online homework due every week and they're tedious. I would not recommend him at all, unless you're prepared to teach yourself.
Listen Do yourself a favor and save your GPA it doesn't matter if u know account or if you don't you will learn nothing and then when you try to ask any question he goes around the bush SAVE YOUR GPA You're better off learning accounts from a YouTube
This is the worst professor at WPU. Know nothing about accounting and does not show any passion. He just reads content without providing any explanations and how topics are related. Ignores students requests when they need something repeated. Very unorganized with homework and will not read your emails. STAY FAR AWAY FROM DR. MWAURA
Thr professor is very unorganized. He is also very disrespectful because accounting is a new subject to a lot of students. Cannot explain concepts appropriately and ignores you when something needs to be explained in more detail. The class is a waste of time and money. Worst communication and is often vague. NEVER TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.
Dr. Mwauras Class will put your GPA in jeopardy. The assignments are arduous and nothing is explained in class. He likes to give bad grades and watch students fail. He does not set clear guidelines and makes a lot of mistakes. He is not fastidious and should not teach. His attitude is uncouth towards his students and will not listen.
i rather listen to country music then listen to his lectures.
This is BY FAR the WORST professor in the Accounting Department, and likely at the school. For my class NOTHING was online besides the homework. The only people that did well is because they cheated, so if you have any integrity whatsoever you'll do terrible. I am a consistent deans list student and did everything I could but still got a bad grade.
He quizzes every week. He is horrible he doesn't explain anything clearly and is very sarcastic. Worst class of my college career anyone who says he's a good professor wants to see you fail in life.
Doesn't teach properly and just reads off of slides so be prepared to teach yourself. Homework is assigned every week online and he gives quizzes every week. He doesn't respond to emails and is hard to reach out of class.
He is terrible responding to emails, there was things due that you are not really aware of which is very odd to me. The assignments on McGraw are manageable but you are just very unsure of what your final grade will be. I would prob not recommend taking him there are better professors out there.
Dr. Mwaura is a cataclysmic professor because he cannot teach. He hoes not know how to communicate with students and assignments are ambiguous. He does not exemplify any traits of a teacher/professor. Responds to students in a condescending manner. He rushes through topics and refuses to meet students' needs. The class is an impediment to your GPA.
