He is very good at what he does . He makes classes enjoyable for evryone .
he is the best.
he is excellent! his knowledge and sense of humor made his class a joy. i highly recommend him
One of the best teachers I ever had. He tells you from the start what to expect. Learned a lot in this class. He is a tough but fair teacher. Collects homework which counts towards the grade like a curve. He is not boring. I would take him again.
Excellent teacher,gives many examples,fully explains everything.Goes over all homework.A lot of work(some difficult)but he's very helpful and fair.I wish he taught more accounting classes.The best professor I have had so far.
test questions dont look like the homework questions that you prepare- difficult exams
he is the best of the best. he got a lot of patience with students and he is very generous with the final grade. each of his homework will give you 3 extra points.
don't take him.
Tsk Tsk Tsk
Great prof. Actually teaches the material, gives homework for extra credit, his tests are very fair and he will answer any of your questions. I wish he taught every single accounting course.
If you have half a brain you will do well in his class.
He gives F grades on your transcript.
Dangerous, Fails people,
Professor Nussbaum is the best the Accounting dept. has. I stongly recommend him. Also his class is not boring. His lessons are clear and he does a lot of examples on the board. If you pay attention in class and do the homework you will be fine. He also collects homework for extra credit. He give two test and the Final.
He is a very good professor. I truly recommend him. He gives you a lot example in order to understand better the material so if you pay attention in class you won't any problem to do his test.
Probably the persons who gave this excellent professor a bad mark is because they dont come to class, don't study for the test and are just plane lasy. People like that never successed in life. Do not let the bad remarks discourge you from taking 201/305 with Professor Nussbaum.
The best accounting professor I've had so far at Queens College. He makes the class interesting. He is a very fair and understanding. I wish he could teach Advance accouting though.
this prof. is a best of prof in Queens college, and very very helpful.... basically 201 course is the hardest cours in Acct major, and this prof. makes it so easy.. and get home work for an extra credits.. if students say that he is hard then they are insane.. and thoes students have no idea.. how good is he.....TAKE HIM HIGHLY RECOMMANDED PROF....
He is a very nice person, but if you in a class with a lot of "SMART GUYS", he will not give hw, so some people did bad on their exams can never have a chance to catch up. He seems paying more attentions to the "SMART Guys" than the rest of the class...
He is a great professor. I like the fact that he gives homework as extra credit. Ignore the comment about "smart guys," that's not true. He's down to earth and makes learning fun becuase he's in the process of learning the same material as well. Definitely take him if you're a night student.
If U cant make it in Nussbaums class youre not gona make it anywhere, 1/2 the class got 100 on both exams, he gives 30 x points for doin hw EASY 2 DO WELL IN THIS CLASS Im at the end of the acct curriculum n in my experience he is one of the best profs in the dept Re the comment on "smart guys"? its called class participation Nussbaum is VERY FAIR!
Very good professor. Has a great sense of humor and understands his material
I stongly recommend him. He is the best. His lessons are very clear, and he examples everything on the board. If you pay attention in class and do the homework you will be fine. He gives extra credit for the homework. He give two tests and the Final
The top accounting professor at Queens College. Extremely helpfull and very fair. If you do the homework you will pass the class. I'm a senior and this is my second class with this professor. I wish I could take him for all my classes. Really made a difference in my accounting career. I honestly can say he is a very special teacher.
Ignore all these comments. This professor is terribly hard. His lectures are very monotonous, long, and boring. It might be a cure for insomnia. The exams are even worse. Take his class if you want to fail!
Great professor
Professor Nussbaum made attending evening classes a pleasure. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and cares about his students. Those who gave him a bad rating obviously did not put ANY effort in their assignments or their studying!!!!!! I only wish there were more professors like him or that he was teaching more classes!!!!!!!!!!
He is very helpful and his exams are easy. You can get an easy A in his class.
Excellent professor. Made class fun yet very informative. A Very knowledgeable teacher. If only he could teach at earlier timing, so I could take him for 305...But hands down, definitely THE best accounting professor at Queens...
Very good professor. TAKE HIS CLASS! No gimmicks, no suprises. He tells you exactly what to study and that's the exam. There is no room for you not to do well in his class unless you absolutley don't understand the materials or you don't study. Don't expect to do well without studing the materials. This is a university college not high school.
Very good professor. He will only tell you the important stuff and he explains everything clearly. Unfortunately, the person (Leonardi)that teach accounting 202 in the evening-the course after 201 is extremely incompetent. So it will feel like you only took accounting 201 even after you took 202. I don't know what the hell Queens College is doing.
A wonderful professor. Explains everything clearly and the class is interesting. Not only does he make it possible to do well in class, he also teaches in a way that the material stays fresh in your mind semesters later. The only reason I didn't take him for 305 was the time. Thank You professor!
Very fair, competent, and interesting. By the end of the term you'll have a good base of basic accounting knowledge. And he has a great deal of employment experience which he integrates into the class when appropriate.
Take him, he is one of the best professor in QC. You will have to study hard and you will get an A+.
This class is NOT easy. I studied HARD and got a C. His test has stuff tat he has not taught in class. It's also, very tricky. A good thing is tat if u do all ur hw, he adds 10points to the avg of ur test grades. Not available outside of class, since his running from work. Very nice & easy to talk to, but keep in mind tat doesn't help u w/ur GPA.
He is definitly a person easy to talk to, but don't expect to get an easy A; his tests are some kind of triky.....
This guy teaches one thing, then he test another. He teaches great. But his test are like reading an advanced book when only u know are ur abc's.
Previous reviewers probably thought the was joking about what he will ask in the exam but he doesn't joke when it comes to that. I remember looking at one of the questions he said that similar one will be asked but I didn't believe it because it looks scary. But guess what - similar question showed up in the exam. Study what he tells you.
very easy class, hard to not get an A. no need to go to class, just study homework and exercise that he did in the class. Very clear.
he is a fantastic professor. for anyone to post a negative comment about this man is crazy. go to class do the homeworks, study what he tells you and you will pass with a high grade. he is great to get along with. hes funny so the time goes by quickly. and his knows the material. he can probably teach it without a text. he is a must take.
very nice and helpful professor. take his class. it's really good for you
highly recommended!! Helpful & easy easy A
very easy teacher. show up to class and do the homework and get an easy A. He knows his stuff and can explain it well. the test questions is similar to the ones he tells you to study when he reviews for the exam.
Great teacher, probably the best 201 teacher there is in QC!! Very clear, helpful, and his tests are hard but they come str8 from his notes.
tests base on HW questions. Every easy A.
He knows the subject, he explains the material clearly, and he is patient with students. You will learn a lot in his class. Just do the weekly homeworks and you will pass the course.
A great professor and a really nice guy! Come to class, do the work, and show you care and you will get the grade you want!
if you have care about your grade and yuor gpa DONT TAKE HIM. Just Dont Take Him. very hard tests, hard class, a lot of homework and class work and doesnt teach. do yourself a favor and take someone else for acct 102. atleast the college does have other good professors for this class.
GREAT PROFESSOR. YOU WOULD NEVER FIND SOME OTHER PROFFESOR THAT COMES CLOSE TO HIM. VERY RECOMANDED. DO HOMEWORK AND FOLLOW HIS REVIEWS. EASY VERY EASY THANKS TO HIM. THANK YOU PROFESSOR
Good Professor. Intermediate 1 is a tough course but he makes it tolerable. Not easy, but if you do what you have to do, you can get the grade you want.
Must attend class to keep up with the work. Do all homeworks which are assigned every thursday it helps your grade. Very helpful, nice guy!!
He is the man, one of the best professors ever. Must take him
He is a nice professor. His exams are based on the HW, and HW is 30% of your final grade. As long as you do the homework and show the efforts on the homework, you will get full 30%.
Hands Down the best professor at queens college. Makes a hard subject easy and is a fair grader. Gives 3 exams including final and do all the HW because it is a must since it will add as 10 points to your FINAL grade. Tests are some m/c and problems like journal entries for the first 2 exams then the final all problems no m/c. Easy to do well.
Thank you professor for another great semester!! ...Take this man, you will not regret it.
this course is boring and hard but he helps us out by giving us a test only on the hardest chapters and the easier chapters together on other exams. do da HW and u will get pts added to ur exams. If u pay attention and just do the hw u will do fine. I think he is the best acc prof, doesn't require projects, just 3 exams thats all.
The absolute best professor I've ever had in my life. If I was able to, I would have him as my professor for everything I ever learn. Thank you professor Nussbaum.
BAD TEACHER ....IM FAILING THIS CLASS...VERY HARD TESTS....60% OF THE CLASS IS FAILING THIS SEM...HARD PROF
i'm sorry, but QC seriously need to get rid of some of these professors. this guy in particular is a joke. he mumbles through every lecture, takes impossibly long pauses in mid-sentence, and basically reads directly from the textbook. if you decide to take this course, make sure he's not the one teaching or you will regret it. total waste of time.
HARDDDDD
THIS PROFESSOR CHANGED SINCE I HAD HIM A YEAR AGO....HE CHANGED HIS GRADING SYSTEM...HE STARTED GIVING LESS AND LESS A'S....THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF SMART STUDENTS FAILING...INCLUDING ME :(
He is no help. Can't teach, never gives back graded. You have no clue how you are doing. The text book is no help but he reads from that word for word. He doesn't understand the material either. IF YU WANT AN F take him. Very easy to get an F in his class.
I am a second degree student at QC and I must say this is the worst professor I have ever had. He read str8 from the book and didnt give the midterm back.He literally had nothing prepared for class, he simply opened the book and read from it. You decide whether you want to teach yourself or not. First degree gpa-3.8 acct gpa-3.4 rada grade- c-
HE is the best prof ever!!
Hey Dude!... If you did not get good grade this not his fault.. This is accounting 201 means the hardest accounting class...just study...He is one of the best lecturer at Queens College..jUST STUDY ,
this prof. is the best prof. in the accounting department! if you fail his class something is wrong with you! he tells you where the question will came out from. he gives extra 30 points if you do the homework. and extra credit paper!
anyone who is giving bad reviews are people who are failing or who apparently never taken other acct profs at QC. He is the best, if you study at all, should be a easy class. Come on. This is accounting your talking about. Materials are always hard. But he makes it fun and moderately easy. TRUST ME. There are only few GOOD profs like him at QC.
This is one of the best Profs in QC. DO the HWs and you will do fine.
Very good and funny professor.Two exams and homework is must because you got extra points on final grade. Very pleasent and easy going class. Highely recomended!!!!
Thanx Prof Nussbaum.
best professor!!!
Awesome guy!! He loves his students!!
He is a wonderful professor!!! He respects every student, but he requires every student respect him too. If you attend all his lectures, understand his lectures and study the materials, you should do fine in his class..
Pretty good professor. Explains material well, especially for a hard subject. If u don't show up for class u will not do well. three tests total. Gives extra points 4 ur homework so you can get a good grade - this is a BIG PLUS. Definitely recommend him for 305 and for 201
Highly recomend this prof. Took this class fall'09. This course req that you really keep up w/ reading & hwk. Prof explains material very well,provides own outline of mat,wks problems in class, reviews prior to exam, gives you "points" toward grade for hwk handed in.
The best professor for 305. Highly recomended. Worry free class. Professor can explain his subject very well. Notes are given so you don't need to spend time to copy the notes in class. Doing exercise in class is extremely helpful to understand. You wouldn't be sorry for taking his class.
One of the Best Professor here at Queens College. I highly recommend for those in business/accounting majors. His exams are exactly like the ones we go over in class. Take him and you won't regret it!
Best professor at QC. Highly recommended. 2 exams and a final. He tells us exactly what will be on the exam. HW is extremely helpful. It will help you towards your final grade. He should be teaching all of the accounting classes.
Best Accounting professor in QC. I hope he teaches 300 level courses. lectures, reviews and the hws do help for the exams. EXTRA CRS :)
he is the best accounting prof. i ever have. highly recomment to take him. he is awesome.
I owe my knowledge of my current profeesion to Stephen Nussbaum. Best Professor there is in the entire school, does not get better than him anywhere.
Best Professor for 201. Not an easy A because acct 201 is kinda hard, but with the 30+ point extra credit, its VERY possible. The exams were SIMILAR to his reviews, but with some curveballs, which aren't that hard if you understand the info. 3 tests non-cumulative and easy project. Do ALL the homeworks and but some effort and you'll do fine.
excellent accounting professor; probably better than all the other ones at QC; knows how to teach and explain the subject very thoroughly; there are 30 extra points added on to your tests if you do all the H.W.'s which should help boost your grade up alot; wants his students to do well and really cares unlike other professors; TAKE HIM
He is really helpful, gives alot of extra credit, and his reviews are great. Must take!
Took him for both ACCT201 and ACCT305. My favorite prof in QC. 3 exams, TONS of extra credit, and tells you exactly what to study. He is funny, smart, nice, and teaches very well. Definitely take him!
I've taken him for Acct. 201 and 305. He is truly one of the best professors I've ever had. Very clear and helpful.TAKE HIM.
Awesome professor! really helpful just make sure you attend the class do the homework and attend the review session.
Great professor, very helpful. He post all lecture materials on blackboard. You get extra credit for doing the homework assignments. Also, he does curve exam grades.
not an easy class but then again it is cost accounting...prof nussbaum makes the concepts crystal clear to understand and I loved his organization in as to how he played out the topics...3 exams..final....exams are problem based which is exactly the same as the ones done class..recommend doing the problems over and over again
good proff. gives out HW with xtra points. make sure u dont miss them. u cant fail if u do all of them. 1st xam: MCQ, 2nd xam: take home problem solv 3rd: in class problm solving. xams r kind of hard as usual. 1 project paper. not wasnt easy course for me, but proff was good enough.
Intense course but if you do the hws which is extra credit you will be fine ...go over alot of problem which should make the test alot easier. I wish he taught all accouting courses. He the best!!!
His teaching is clear and easy to understand, but his tests are completely different from what he teaches and from what he reviews which is frustrating. The material is difficult but if he put what he reviews on his exams, then students would definitely do better. Homework is essential as he gives extra points for those. 2 exams and final.
He's not a bad teacher, but he worries more about time/syllabus then his students trying to understand the lessons. He seems to get irritated when people ask questions, which slows him down. Again, he's not a bad teacher. He just needs a little more patience, especially with the older students or students that work a 9-5
Professor Nussbaum is just amazing. His class is not easy but if you come every day and put your effort into it then you can get a good grade easily. The best thing about him is that he goes out of his way just to help his students.
His teaching is straight-forward and clear and his tests are exactly what he goes over in class. The HW is extra credit and there's no attendance but if you want to do well on tests you should to come to class. There's also a short project which take some time but isn't too hard. Overall a very positive experience.
Nussbaum is the best for 201. Hw's are all extra credit, and if you do them all, it's 10 points boost on your final grade. If you look over the homeworks, the tests will be a breeze since they are pretty much the same except for different numbers. Easy course, and a good guy. Just put some effort into it, and you will leave happy.
Three exams and excel project and homework for extra credit. Great lecture and all the material covered in class matters. Doing exercises during the class period related to the exam. Show up to the class and do the exercises in class and homework and you good to go. Great professor for 201.
wow I think this is one of my favorite professor I ever had. He's personable, he teaches well, and he cares for his student. If you work hard, you can earn good grades. I wish he would really teach higher level accounting courses, or else i would take everything else with him. So recommended! You will not regret taking him!
best prof of qc
Prof. Nussbaum is great. Explains material very well. He gives 2 tests plus Final exam and 1 Excel project. If you do HW it definitely helps you with your grade plus prepares you for the exams. He also helps you with the project. Of course you have to put some effort to get an A but do what's required and you're good.
He is one of the best professor in qc. He explains everything very well and exam are almost same as the hw. If you do the hw's and understand them, you should at least get 80 on the exams.2 midterms and one final, all straight forward. He makes the class very easy and add extra points toward your test score for doing homework.
Professor Nussbaum is the best accounting professor QC has to offer! You'll leave his class with a good foundation of accounting. He prepares you well for each exam that you can't fail his class. Gives lots of hw but it's beneficial to do them. One excel project but he helps you with it. I wish he taught higher accounting courses.
Unlike others,I think this professor is the worse professor in ACCT department. ACCT201 is a hard class that combine 101 and 102. He just read the textbook in the class, this is his second job and he does not know how to teach. His test is like homework, but he does not post homework solution to BB. And if you miss excel project,you'll get INC.
Any 201 class u take will be difficult. Prof Nussbaum knows his stuff,however he is very boring to listen to. Theres 3 tests, all the questions r very similar to HW questions. HWs are graded out of 3 points. If u get 3s on all Hws and have an 80avg on tests youll get an A. Also theres a excel project which is 15% of grade but he allows corrections
