Not an easy A, but you sure can earn an easy C or below C if you do not do your job. Pretend you are in the real world already. No one will give you anything for free. You have to earn it!

He should teach a lot more course material if he limits his personal life stories to no more than 15 minutes per lecture. It's true that students who truly does their part in the class will get better than a C. But it's also important for the professor to use the class time wisely so students will learn. And that is the area Mr. Dauber failed.

Definately a nice person however class isn't as nice. There is a lot of info that you MUST memorize. If you have trouble committing info to memory, do not take this class. 2 MC exams. If you mess up on the 1st exam, you pretty much messed up your grade in the class. No textbook, has notes on ereserve & you MUST know it as well as you know your name

He's a nice prof. Kind, funny and energetic all the time. Although sometimes he spends too much time on sharing his personal life exp., but most of time those stories combine w/ materials. It reinforces you to memorize the lecture in class. I recommend him if you feel bored in acct courses. But, it's not easy to get high scores in audit class.

nice professor, he knows how to teach, explains meterails very clear. one bad thing: limited time for exam (midterm:50MC/TF,50 minutes. Final exam 75 MC/TF,75 minutes) It's hard to get a good grade for student whose English is not the first lanugage.

Prof. Dauber is not for everyone. You have to understand that there is one midterm and a final and that's it. You mess up on either one, the chances of you getting an A will be diminished.

Dauber can teach you auditing, however, he is boring at times with his family stories but Auditing is a boring subject at times.
