awesome guy.read book and get an A..very leninet on grades and not boring at all

AWESEOME...easy grader

dont know what you people are talking about....took him over winter for acct102 ..soooooo easy...1st test a piece of cake and final easy to get a B on...took about 4 quizzes and was able to drop 2...soo easy, gr8 teacher...take him over winter

best accounting class i ever took you guys shouldve taken him in the summer it makes sense if you do the work and READ the chapters

He is smart, sexy and simply irresistable!!!

His expertise makes the class a pleasurable experience. The material can be difficult, but that's why there are office hours. In reference to Jewish favoritism, remember where you've left your sense of humor and then revisit this website.

I don't need any extra credit!I actually meant what I said!

From all the bad things I've heard, I expected the class and the professor to suck. That has not been the case. Good professor, and the class is not that hard.

Good prof. At 1st I was scared, but rumors can be deceiving. He trys to make class fund, and is always opened for any questions. He allows a sheet of notes during the in class examination. You will learn if you're willing to.

Should do a 60-40 split counting the take home test more. Give some input people.

Expected a horrible teacher. Unfortunately he proved me wrong. Keep up the good job. One thing though. You go to improve your dancing skills when on the dancefloor at the Mirage. hahaha.

dont listen to all these babies who want everything spoon fed to them. SLAVIN IS AN AWESOME TEACHER who knows how to teach or he wouldnt be at Hofstra for the past 20 something years. Hope to see the good dr. at trop one of these days, later.

He is a very fair teacher. He needs to make his in class examples more like his test questions. Dr. Slavin is too smart for his own good he expects students to have the same understanding of the material in 15 weeks as he has.Push him to go over the exams

nice guy

probably the funniest teacher on campus-really cares and gives you many chances to succeed

i think this teacher is pretty fair, specially when it comes to helping the students. he will try to help you pass this class.tests are hard though, but we had take homes to make up for the in class.

Awesome guy, great sense of humor and very fair in grading...One of the best Acct. professors I had

Had him in the summer and he was great. I am tying to get into his advanced class in the fall but it is already closed out and its very unfair.

He's a good professor and knows his stuff down cold, but he misses alot of Material which he covers on the Exams, Exams are very hard, but he's good, this is a hard class to take in the summer, but he taught it well

Love the way he informs you about the topic in an entertaining manner.If you like accounting,you will never be bored.

Best Accounting Teacher at Hofstra! Made Acounting so easy. I did decent in ACCT 101 but once I took his class it all made sense and I got an A! I suggest you take him!!

The guy really cares. Gives you a difficult takehome midterm but the class does real well,91 average.If you put the effort, he will reward you.

Prof. Slavin enjoys his subject and it shows in the enthusiasm he brings to lectures. The subject is hard and the material is extensive, but he is always available to answer questions. Tests are very hard; CPA-type exam questions should be covered in class.

He teaches very hard but dont worry just do better then other people to get a good grade. If your like me and you averaged a 25 yes 25 dont worry and dont drop, just talk to him and will be good enough for at least a C probably a C+. Just show very minimal effort and you will be fine.

Real nice guy. Very smart. Has a hard time getting his students to understand. Good thing is, he knows this, so he's very helpful if you don't get it and getting a 50 on a test doesn't matter b/c you can re-do them, get a 70 and still get an A in his class.

Pro.Slavin happens to be a great professor.You have to put in the effort for this class but he is willing and able to help you all the way through, but you have to be an adult and approach your issues.Accounting was never my subject,and I got a lot out of this class. His personality made the class interesting, and go by quickly.I highly recommend

he's a great professor

tough but very fair,gives take homes and advance peeks of questions on the exams

nice guy that makes class entertaining by making lots of jokes. his class is hard but its accounting so what do u expect. just do the work & put some effort into the class and youll be fine. he is pretty clear & puts the exact questions from the study questions on the test to help u out. i liked him & am taking him again for 123.

I thought I was going to get a C for the course and actually got a B. This guy actually loves students and loves to teach.

great great professor. he really cares about his students. explains very clearly, definately take him

its accounting, clearly a tough subject. he teaches it very well, as long as you attend class, he will help you out. i hate acct, i got a B+...gotta love random curves. nice guy

Easy going professor! Simplified many of the topics with funny anecdotes. Awesome and fair grader. Take the class, he goes the extra mile to help his students out.

This man actually loves to teach and cares about students.

I had him for Acct 123, 124, and 125. The exams are tough, but he tries his hardest to make it easy. He also tries really hard to get people to pass, but you have to meet him half way by putting some effort in. Attendance is really necessary, and friends are definitely an asset in studying for his exams; the Slideshows online also help.

I failed the first test because of personal problems. I went to see him and he got me through where I ended up with a B. Just show him you care and he will help you. He is a very sensitive professor.

Dr Slavin had an interesting way to go about teaching. His sense of humor and crazy antics made the class enjoyable. He really taught you in depth, gave you the questions for the test, and prepared you well for the departmental final. Although he depended alot on his TA, he cared about his students success. Did alot of group work and demos.

Great Prof

Hard course but he is extremely fair and will help you.

This is a very difficult class; you have to put a lot of effort towards it. Expect test questions that are not from the text book or covered in class. However, Dr. Slavin is willing to help you out as much as possible and he's very entertaining in class. He curves, but don't rely on it. Also, expect to pay for the study guide, it's worth it.

He's decent.

Great guy,very informative.

Whats not to like about professor slavin. Hes the chair of accounting! he makes a great lecture outline. hes funny. hes a cpa. he actually teachs something. and he has all of his hair! a+

GREAT MAN! and his youngest son is quite a looker as well.

great guy and i think he's hilarious.. its a tough course no matter what so you gotta study a lot.. he will help you out if you show effort

ACC is a hard topic weather you like it or not and Dr.Slavin has to teach it. If your an ACC major and ur taking 124 required course then ull understand later why he teaches the way he does. What other teacher do you know who can teach accounting and throw funny jokes..not that easy. Take home exams are cake, anyone who badmouths him just didnt go

Took a 10 day course in January and he was great.

One of the easiest courses I ever took. Lots of takehome exams.

Had a problem with the first exam and went to see him for extra help. He is very supportive-real nice person.

Great teacher,loved him.

Great teacher. Changed my major to accounting because of his class.

Slavin is a tough prof. Lots of HW and the tests are pretty challenging, class average was around a 65... but he curves and if you do all the HW and go to every class you'll do fine. he's a funny chap, I liked him.

Reminds me of my dad.Tries to scare us into doing well.

Great Professor,but demanding. Already passed one part of the CPA exam because of his course.

Got a B+. He gives you a lot of points where the class average is in the 90s. Very funny and knowledgeable. Look forward to taking him for advanced accounting.

Received my highest grade in accounting, great professor.

His exams are very tough, and you do have to study a lot on your own (as other raters have written). He does curve, but even with that, you need to put in A LOT of effort.

Very dedicated teacher and look forward to taking him in the fall.

Great teacher,lots of extra credit,drops the lowest 2 quiz grades. Just read your notes and the easy review problems that he covers in class and you will be fine.

Great teacher. Just read your notes and the review problems. A very funny man.

Very easy course. I have not even read the textbook and running a B+ by just reading my notes.

Great Prof-running an A just by the class notes.

At first I thought he was a complete idiot but then I realized that's just his sense of humor. Ended up really enjoying the class and doing pretty well. Would recommend if you want to learn but you must do the work

Great instructor. Got an A in a 4 week summer course. Lots of credit for homework which he lets you redo for a higher grade.Will probably change my major to accounting.

Wonderful man, very caring.

Very very funny man. Loves to teach.

Slavin loves teaching and he loves to make terrible jokes. I enjoyed the class and would recommend him to anyone who needs to take Accounting. Tests are basically the review sheets he hands out with different numbers. Pretty easy class for the most part

He has many jokes. Lovely professor .

Dr. Slavin is one of the funniest professors I've had, but also one of the toughest.

Very devoted teacher, can tell from his notes. Corny jokes make the tough course interesting and enjoyable. Various analogies make the hard material easy to understand. Always ready to explain one single question in a million ways until you get it. You will realize how valuable his class is when you prepare for your CPA exam.

Nice, Fair & understanding

The knowledge I learned from his class is very useful in the following three semester. He is a very responsible and helpful professor for every student.

Engaging classes, he knows what he says and he knows it well. Ready to help if needed. He keeps the attention at a high level even though the topic may be boring. High grader if you participate in class.

Accounting is a drab and boring subject so I really appreciate his approach by lightening things up even if his jokes are corny. He's helpful if you reach out & is overall a really nice guy.

Accounting is not my forte' and I had to take this class being in the business school but from everything I have read here Dr. Slavin is the MAN. Group projects are like a 90 avg and if you screw up he gives 2nd chances plus extra credit. For a boring subject he's funny & I could think of a million worst teachers to spend the time listening to.

He's the best!

One of the best professors at Hofstra (if not the best)! You actually use what you learn in his class. He is very supportive, clear, energetic, fair and amusing. I stayed with him for ACCT 101 and 102.

Good teacher, sometimes boring, make sure you go to class and pay attention and you should be fine. Easy grader

Great Professor! Very good at explaining the material. If someone does not understand something, he would be more than happy to stop and explain it again using multiple examples for better understanding. I would definitely recommend taking his class to everybody.

Always comes in prepared, with helpful handouts. Energetic and passionate about teaching. Funny too, constantly keeping the class engaged, caring for the students. Recommend

Wants you to learn so he keeps things interesting. You need to read before class and study for the tests. Smart prof. w/ great sense of humor.

Dr. Slavin keeps you attentive in his lectures by making fun references to the topic. Homeworks are done online based off of lectures. The class can become a bit confusing however. All in all, Dr. Slavin is a nice professor teaching an okay class. If you pay attention you will do well and enjoy his class, if not... you'll find yourself confused.

Great! Wonderful! Teaches all the concepts very well and with great analogies

Very competent and compassionate prof. always available. n

He is a great professor, and a very nice person. Teaches very well. All of a sudden accounting is not boring in his class. I am very glad I am in his class.

Dr. Slavin is an excellent professor. Having taking accounting in undergraduate studies and not doing very well, Dr. Slavin's classes have changed my perception of accounting, and drastically improved my performance. With his use of real-life examples it helps to bring everything together. His teaching method adds more value than grades alone.

He is most likely the best professor at Hofstra University. He always makes things clear as long as your paying attention. 10/10 would take this professor again.

GREAT PROFESSOR. Literally just do all his hws & get an 80 & above on all the tests (3) and you'll get an A. Great test reviews. Lots of hw chances to still get 100% on them. He'll discourage you in the beginning saying you'll fail if you don't get 90&above in the exams but thats a lie. I got an 82, 80 & 87 on the exams and passed with an A.

Professor Slavin was a good professor for ACCT 101 and I'll be taking him for ACCT 102 in the spring. He requires you to put effort in for the grade. Exams not so hard because some of the multiple choice are given in advance. 2 exams, final, and some homework that is very easy. I recommend him to anyone who needs to take this course.

Put in the work and your guaranteed the grade you want. Must study independently to understand what goes on in class and exams! Great prof. for Accounting majors interested in the concepts. Also if you like cringey humor definitely a solid pick.

Professor Slavin is simply amazing. My only regret is that he doesnt reach the intermediate Accounting courses. I took his class for Accounting 101 & 102 and I can honestly say it was a pleasure having him as a professor. My advice to potential students is to do the homework, pay attention in class, participate, practice and study for your exams.

Professor Slavin is a great professor and even though this semester was taught virtually he was always available to go over anything I didn't get in the lectures his homework option is good and helps a lot with the material in the class I also met my best friend in this class and we'd always study together.

Slavin is a good professor. There were 2 exams, 1 group project and several quizzes. He made us use clickers whicmakes the class so much more interesting because it engages class participation and you will learn from it. Study for the exams, you will be fine. Group project was the best part because I learned a lot about corporate annual report.

TAKE THIS MAN! He is so funny with his old head jokes and is very understanding of any problems that you have. Honestly if you need to take ACC take it with Slavin!

My experience in Professor Slavin's class was indeed rewarding. It will seem fit to point out that, what I appreciated about this course were the teaching methods, the vast and easy access to resources provided by the professor, and the exercises given - which were properly structured and gave great insights to the topics being taught.

Great professor, is always there to help you out when you need help and he's quite a funny guy, just make sure you pay attention to the lectures in his class and you will do great make sure you study outside the class as well ��

Good lectures, pretty fun guy. Nice guy. Easy tests gave me an A

Nathans excellent command over the accounting subject and humor makes him exceptional professor. He explains thing until you understand, thank you once again Nathan for your wonderful teachings and I wish you good luck with your research work. No doubt, I recommend Nathan as best professor for accounting classes. (203 Acct & Financial Reporting).

Dr. Slavin provides his students in advance with questions that pertain verbatim to the examinations. His lectures are not particularly engaging and are improvised. His free-form teaching style did not suit my particular learning style but to each their own. I vehemently urge you to read the book religiously, as it will be your saving grace.

Slavin is really strong in the subject of accounting. His syllabus can be a little confusing to read with abbreviations. Can be up to three assignments per unit so the homework is time-consuming. Gives test questions ahead of time to study before tests which is very helpful to do well.

Amazing Professor. Course was well structured, clear instructions were given before the project and exam. He explains difficult terms in simple language with a kind of humour and answers students questions patiently with details. A professional, funny and nice man! 100% recommended!

Great Professor. There is a lot of homework but you have a lot of time to get it done. He gives outline of test and if you study based on that the tests are easy

First test is a free 100 which is worth 25% of your grade. Lectures can be extremely boring but if you take good enough notes and study you will do good.

One of the best professors I have had he is a nice guy, very funny, and down to earth. His class isn't too hard if you do your work and read the textbook he tells you how to succeed in the class and is very much right about it. He is very quick to respond to emails. The homework isn't hard at all I recommend taking this teacher very much.

Class isn't hard at all the other thing is the way he writes notes is very confusing you don't have to try too hard to succeed in this class you are guaranteed at C every quiz because you gives you the questions before hand you will need to use the text book though. He is a very nice guy and it very down to earth I would 100 percent want him again.

Professor Slavin is a mixed bag - he's funny and engaging, but the class can be a bit tricky. The workload is manageable with the right approach. I found using Unstuck AI alongside the textbook and professor's resources really helpful for staying on top of the material.

All you need is his lecture notes to do well. Very caring professor.

Great professor and very caring.

There's a lot of homework and it's worth about 20% of your final grade. The first exam is easy, but after that you really need to study. As long as you listen in class and do what the professor says, you should be fine.
