hard teacher. we had 4 tests and i got an A, 2 Bs and a D. he is terrible at teaching. unless u can teach it to yourself , dont take him. he is a big D-bag also. huge loser. doesnt do anything to help you. dont take him unless you absolutley hvae to...good luck

Don't take him unless you have no other choice. His GA can teach better than he can and he'll go off on tangents and stories that have NOTHING to do with accounting. Today he explained to us why the estate and death taxes are bad and should be abolished which then turned into a rant about policticians.

He doesn't really make a lot of sense when teaching. His GA was a much better teacher. He goes off on random rants, and his tests dont have a lot to do with what he talks about. DO NOT TAKE HIM

He talks too fast.

Sitting in his class right now and I'll I can think of is how bad of a teacher he is. I feel like he knows the material but has NO idea on how to teach to people who are just learning the material. I compare him to a grandpa who just rambles on about accounting. Worst part he takes off points if we leave early. Gonna be a long semester!

Worst teacher I've taken at mo state.

This was the worst professor I've experienced at MSU. Rambles through lectures and gets off topic. Uses so many filler words, uh, um, throat clear, that by the time he speaks for 30 minutes you've gotten about 5 minutes of actual information. More confusing than helpful. Homework will NOT help with tests, do the learn-smart modules on Connect.

Do NOT take this professor. I'm a senior now an this is the first time I've felt I should rate a professor and warn other students. Attendance is taken and clicker points are everyday so If you miss a couple days your in the hole. Take anyone but him! I'm retaking ACC 211 because of this guy. Take Anita Brand!!

This is by far the worst accounting professor you can take. He's a nice guy but does not know how to teach. The tests are almost impossible to pass and he takes attendance as well. He will count off if you've missed more than a couple days. Also will count off if you leave class early.

just terrible do not take this class

Worst teacher I have ever encountered in college. Doesn't give out study guides, gets side tracked with stories during lecture, and just rambles all class

Greer is the worst teacher I have had at MSU. He will show you how to do something, show you how he does it and then continues the lessons his way, then you have to take the test using the way in the book. The PowerPoints are useless seeing as he never uses the information on them and he doesn't give out study guides either. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

We spent 40 minutes discussing how to use a clicker.

This is the worst class in the world to have to sit through & attendance is mandatory. However, if you do your homeworkread during the class periods it isn't too terribly inefficient. The tests are tough -- you have to self-teach 100%. Clicker points can add tons of extra credit. It's not hard to get a good grade but it IS hard to learn from him.

By far one of the worst professors I've ever had. Lectured about one thing and when the test came is was a foreign language. You can do bad on the text because there are plenty of points, but he is a terrible teacher with a great heart.

When listening to the professor I often found my self confused. Rambles on for a while about a topic then tells you the textbook is wrong and in the real world it is done a different way. He does not use any of his own material though so he has your study off the textbook. Difficult to know what to study.

Homework may be for a grade, but it will not help you out on exams. Messes up on almost every in class example, then rambles on how the book is wrong and how it really is in the real world. No fun

Not clear at all, I attended every class and took notes. Got a D in the class, and learned nothing. Please find a different teacher! *Also shows his unsolicited hunting pictures in class on a giant projector*

By far the worst professor I have ever had. I tend to not agree with some of the other comments on other teachers, but I have to on this one! He isn't a teacher. You literally have to teach yourself like everyone has said. Is he nice? Yes. Does he have a lot of experience? Yes. Is he the worst when it comes to teaching? ABSOLUTLEY.

Extremely difficult tests that are hard to study for. Pretty sure the average on the last test in my class was a 52% (after the curve.) Do yourself a favor and take a different professor if possible.

I strongly recommend that if you see him as your professor you should drop immediately. By far the worst professor I have ever encountered in the 3 years I have been here. He never gives examples on how formulas should be used. You will have better luck taking this class online. His test are also extremely difficult and you'll never be prepared.

He never clearly talks about everything you need to know during lectures. He skips over majority of content because "we should already know it." Cracks jokes for majority of the time, never stays on topic. Doesn't prepare you for any of the tests whatsoever. DON'T EVER TAKE HIM. You basically have to teach yourself the content.

This professor reads off his slides. If you don't want to go to class, you do not have to. Although, he does use clickers in a class of 250 students. The homework is online and he allows unlimited attempts. The tests are very difficult and do not have any resemblance to the homework or notes. I do not recommend this horrible professor.

Dr Greer is nice but hes just not a very good teacher. In class he either reads off the PowerPoint slides, goes over the homework problems, or tells a story for 20 minutes until he realizes class is almost done. Then he crams for the last 10 minutes. His study guides are useless and his tests are full of difficult questions and gotchas.

Hes not good. Simple as that. His tests make up 60% of the class points and theyre very hard. Would not recommend.

This class is very boring, and not helpful at all. Nobody is lying on here. He is a great guy but he can't teach for anything. His tests are annoying and have topics you never even covered. Homework multiple times a week. Would recommend trying to take another professor. Struggling to get a B.

Olen Greer is a good guy but lacks teaching ability. The point system for the course is beneficial for the student, but tests are relatively difficult. Greer has boring lectures that ultimately are not that helpful. Managerial Accounting is already difficult, and he does not make it any easier.

One of the worst teachers I've had at MSU, doesn't make any effort to help students, homework is impossible, tests are crazy hard. I got an A- in ACC201 and I might fail Olen's class

He's an okay guy as a person but would never take him again. His tests are hard and you don't get a formula/cheat sheet. He makes his lectures mandatory which wouldn't be bad for tests, but he gets off on tangents every class period and takes 30 min to talk about what needed 5 minutes. Rambles about athletics for 10 min. every class.

Nice guy. You have to go to class to get participation points. Does not let you use a note card with formulas on the test compared to other accounting teachers. Curves every test BUT THE FINAL. This class literally made me change my major from business to psychology.

Olen is the worst business professor I have had at MSU. He does not add anything to the classroom and might as well have his GAs do the teaching. He goes off on rants that don't add anything to the lecture and tries to be funny with terrible dad jokes. You will have to work for every point of your grade and teach yourself the material.

Take ACC 211 with another professor if you want to learn. He makes class so difficult and always tries to crack silly jokes that aren't funny. Worst professor I have ever had. He does not teach during class, he just reads off his power points. Basically it is a teach it yourself class in my opinion.

Every class is summed up with him going on a pointless rant or story, his teaching style is miserable, and power points are extremely hard to understand. Just showed up for participation points, and would teach the material to myself outside of class. Worked EXTREMELY hard for a C. Do not take this class.

Olen is a great man on a personal level but is an awful instructor that needs immediate removal from all academic instruction. Always gets off topic during lectures, purposely makes exams extremely hard and forces students to memorize unnecessary concepts. Fought for my life to earn a B, if you care about your stress levels and GPA, AVOID!

Greer is hands down the worst teacher I have ever had. Nothing that he says in class makes sense or is even relevant half the time. Managerial accounting is difficult enough and he makes it even hard. he is the only teacher of this course that does not allow you to use a formula note card on the test. Also his lectures are 200+ people so good luck.

This man is the sole reason that I switched majors away from accounting. He should not be allowed to teach such an important course to such a large amount of students. He is flat out awful.

His teaching methods are not helpful. Each exam covers 3 or more chapters in which we have to memorize equations because theyre not provided on the exams. He doesnt give study material or practice exams to help. The class is way too big to function (almost 300 students). We are required to go to unnecessary campus events. Horrible teacher!

Terrible. Do. Not. Take. Trust me on this one.... Unless you are the best accountant to walk through Glass Hall; it is extremely hard to do well. He, curves the tests significantly but that is because for example, the "mean score" on Exam 4, uncurved, was a 54%.

Professor Greer is a great guy, yet his tests are extremely difficult and his lectures do not add anything to this course. I had to teach myself the material and read and re-read chapters to understand material. Also, NO FORMULA SHEETS ON TESTS! Completely unrealistic expectations, be cautious taking this professor.

Terrible professor, do not waste your time taking this course.

Great person, but the classes are truly pointless. Wish I could have gotten more out of this class than I did. Do not even know where to begin for studying for his final...

This is a damn hard class. It's definitely not impossible to pass though. His tests are insanely hard, definitely require at least two days of studying. He does, however, curve them all except the final about 12-17%. If you show up to class for the clicker and do all of the homework You can more than likely get a B in this class.

If you have to take this class get a different professor.

He was a really nice guy, but wasnt the best at getting his message across. Homework would sometimes take hours trying to figure it out. The class averages on tests were 55% so he curved them, and then wouldnt curve the final. He made this class much more difficult and made it more about memorization than Application.

Super nice and kind man, just a garbage professor

One of the hardest classes I've ever taken. Homework takes me hours to figure out and tests are even harder. The homework means NOTHING in this class. Tests is what a majority of the points are. I'm failing the class and he has been no help whatsoever. I've emailed him 3 times and have gotten nothing. Don't take this teacher!
