You will not learn cost accounting in 4 months. This is hard information. However, the professor tries to make it easy without baby you.You must restudy the information once you finish the class! I understand now why the test are take home. The final is in class but he gives it to you as take home first. If all test were in class you would fail!

Professor Nair is so helpful with learning power point. We have some true idiots in my class who barely know how to even turn their laptop on, hes so calm and professional with helping everyone regardless. A real gem of a human. Love this teacher so much

My favorite teacher of all time; very smart, insightful and helpful. Subject is tough, but he really takes the time to explain each little detail. You have to do the homeworks and practice questions regardless of what teacher you have/ intermediate requires it for greater understanding. Fair grader, extra credit possible. Super nice Professor

Honestly, he is a very knowledgeable professor & knows what he is talking about but he is very tough & unapproachable at times. He would get mad when the class wouldn't understand what he is teaching & I think he is the only professor I have met that gets joy out of failing his students. The material is very tough and all he did was give me anxiety

AMAZING professor !!! We learned so much having him for quickbooks and excel. If you are looking to learn those platforms you must take him. He's extremely caring, helpful and fair. He goes over things multiple times so if you're not the greatest at computers- you'll still do fine. I learned alot more in this class than I expected

Just finished taking intermediate with Nair- wonderful class ! I learned so so much, and I truly appreciate his intelligence and clear teaching style. Lots of time to take both the mid term & final -he doesnt rush you at all. Homework is actually helpful in practicing the material/ hes the right one to take if youre actually planning on the cpa

Highly recommend taking him if youre in business or accounting. He is very passionate about teaching and spirited in the zoom classroom; you will not be bored folks. He comes off tough but Clive is a true sweet pea-also truly smart and hardworking. Speak up during class though, silent non-interactive students can trigger him and he will go off

Prof Nair overall was great. 7AM class was difficult but he didnt fail to always crack jokes, especially about himself. Average amount of homework online. Pay attention in class, youll be grateful during assignments. Take detailed notes. Downfall: Be prepared for 3 hours exams!

Professor Nair made 7am classes not torturous and I felt like I learned a lot from him. He is funny and explains the class content really well. There was a lot of homework and quizzes but you could take them multiple times, so you can land a good grade. If you're willing to pay attention to class and do the work you'll learn and do well.

Prof Nair is super chill, lectures are clear, but there isn't a clear timeline of things. If you prefer to follow a rigid schedule with hard deadlines do not take this class. lots of online work but you have all semester to do it. tests are based on the homework, usually same questions with different numbers. would take him for another class.

It is a practical class with Excel and Quickbooks. Professor Nair did a fantastic job explaining the software's functionality in the real world. Most of the assignments are classwork, so you don't have to spend much time on them. Professor is helpful and a fair grader. Therefore, you will do a great job if you attend every class and pay attention.

Worst professor ever. I was doing so good in this class until he gave a test and he want the student explain what to do on the test like make it make sense. He's very miserable, get upset when you ask him to explain something too you. I'm an A and B+ student and this is my first C ever!

Very rude. Gives bad advice, does not take the people he is teaching seriously. Misses class without announcing. Always late to class (yes, the professor!). Talks like he is always angry. Is very negative, does not encourage the class at all, yells a lot. Works from China. Talks down in a degrading way toward his pupas. Takes advantage of due date

Professor Clive is so amazing he explains everything so well about excel homeworks and quickbooks. The work is somehow intensive but if you listen to him you will be fine. He has a great character and he is also so cool. Make sure you also participate in his lectures. If you pay a lot of attention your work will also pay off.

RUDE, ANGRY MAN. Sorry, regardless of your skill as a professor, if you are needlessly rude to students, immediate deduction. Students are difficult, but you're taking it out on the wrong ones. Class is easy AF if you do the work and pay attention. Ridiculously easy if you've passed principles 1 and 2. Don't be late and don't fall for his ragebait.
