VERY hard to understand. boring class.

One of the worst professors i have had. the accent isnt bad but it gets in the way. all he does in class is draw supply and demand graphs, nad doesnt explain how it applies to what we are doing.GO TO DISCUSSIONS AND FORGET THE LECTURE!!

very rude and more of a self-taught class

all he does is draw pointless graphs and nod his head all day long

this professor has a very defensive attitude, and gets irritated easily - he is not clear in his lectures - and cannot admit when he has made a mistake - he told us a comma can be used as a decimal point in columns of figures, and this is just not so! - he does not have the right personality to be teaching - he should stick to being a CPA -

The exams are nothing close to what goes on in class or the OWLS. As stated, heavy accent is a drawback. I got an A in ACCT221 and have no idea what I will get in his class, find a different professor.

Horrible teacher, do not have for 222. Hard to understand and teaches you nothing. Have to learn everything on your own for the exams.

Do not take this class if you can avoid it! He is awful and will put you to sleep in moments. He does not teach the information from the tests and you can;t understand what he will say anyways

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I can honestly say that he is the worst teacher at this school. He does not speak english- and that is not a joke. If you ask him for help he does not help you. Absolutely ridiculous class and exams. Do not take it lightly when I say do NOT take this class, you will cry.

TERRIBLE TEACHER. WORST IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. DO NOT TAKE. He is rude, barely speaks English and doesn't know how to teach. He constantly talks about how easy he makes the problems (they're not) When students ask questions he gets annoyed and raises his voice over them, cutting them off and making them feel like an idiot for not getting it.

I had him for accounting 222 and he's the worst teacher ever. Can't speak or understand english. And on top of that he's mean and overly strict(for example: won't except homework if it's not stapled). DO NOT HAVE HIM IF IT CAN BE AVOIDED!!!!!!

I went to class the first day and was bored out of my skull. Couldn't understand him either. Once class was over, I whipped out my laptop and enrolled with a different teacher.

Terrible professor. Not clear at all, reads directly from power point slides and hates to clear up any points of confusion. Also messed up tons of people's grades. Avoid if you can

Unless you already have a genuine interest in accounting, avoid this guy. He does not provide any original instruction, he simply reads verbatim off PowerPoint slides that he didn't make himself. He does not explain concepts or address questions. You might as well take this class online since you'll be teaching yourself anyways if you have him.

AVOID this class if you can. You will have a very difficult time understanding what he says. He doesn't even know what he is talking about, he just reads off the power points that can be found on connect. Make sure to keep all the material because he is known for messing up grades. In all, i can not stand this professor, he is useless to SOM.

Fairly easy course, however he reads the powerpoints verbatim and does not expand on the material. He is very poor at communicating if a student has individual problems with things like the technical parts of online homework's. Not a bad guy though and he is a very easy grader and there is only a mid term and final which are decently easy.

The only thing you will learn in this class is that he loves production plants. Also, you may think he is a BMW enthusiast, but they are all made up models. The entire lecture consists of him asking you if you have taken other courses previously, and when no one responds he will just say yes. You will learn nothing here except powerpoint slides.

Orhan is one of the worst teachers at UMass, how he even landed a job surprises me, he provides no help to his students, reads off the slides and demoralizes his students. I would never recommend this class to anyone. Take it online or somewhere else if you could.

Orhan is a great guy but honestly can't teach. Lectures are boring and repetitive. Nothing you learn in class is on the exams. Do not take him.

Attendance is mandatory, but the material covered in class does not help with quizzes or exams. Orhan repeatedly asks students who has taken ACCT 222 and is horrified by anyone who hasn't. He banks on the fact that students have already learned the material previously. This course is an elective and I would advise not taking it with him.

not a good teacher!

Not a good teacher whatsoever. Simply reads slideshows at you each and every class verbatim. Anything you learn you will likely have taught yourself. When test grades are low he seems to think its the fault of 50 students and not himself. Don't bother asking questions because you won't get an adequate answer. Decent guy but horrible professor.

I usually don't rate professors, but I had to make an exemption for this. He is a horrible professor, monotone, deep accent (the best thing about him), &does NOT want to genuinely help students get better. He favor students so if you take him get on his good side. He will be a professor for awhile cause of tenure. He should not be a teacher. Avoid.

Great guy, but a horrible professor. Definitely would never take again, and suggest to all Isenberg students/accounting majors to avoid. He has a very thick accent, and is hard to understand at times. Although he does scale final grades and tests, it is still an extremely difficult course when it shouldn't be. Most of the students are self taught.

Worse professor in Isenberg, rude and not helpful at all. Keeps repeating himself; reads directly from the slides. no need to study the slides for the exam, for every chapter the powerpoint is like 100+ slides. You won't understand anything he said in class. JUST READ THE BOOK!!! Avoid taking this class with him if you can!!!!

The materials in lectures, exams, and homework/quizzes do not always relate to one another, leaving you stuck to learn a lot of the material on your own. He would rather cover a lot of material in a very little time than to make sure we completely understand. When most of the class does poorly, he doesn't think it's his own fault, but the students'

I hate him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Literally do whatever you can to make sure you never take an accounting class with him as your professor. Difficult to understand, hard tests, homework and group work all the time. Doesn't care if you do poorly sets you up to do bad on tests. Awful class.

Very difficult to understand and hard his teaching methods are like he is too smart to be teaching to students.

Orhan expects too much from his students. He is a nice person, but he explains material very poorly. He does not actually teach, he shows you worksheets and then reads you the answers expecting you to immediately understand the concepts. He wants you to read or complete every chapter, powerpoint, and worksheets all between each class. terrible prof

The whole class revolves around him handing worksheets and expecting you to learn by yourself. I had this professor twice because he is the only one that taught both classes and they are the two worst classes I have taken at Umass. Avoid this professor. He is nice like people have previously said but its doesn't make up for him not teaching at all.

literally I'm sorry he was the worst professor I've ever had. He never explained anything right and expected too much from his students and im sorry the language barrier is something that is really hard to deal with. Legit needed this class for my major and im struggling to even get a C. Would not recommend this professor AT ALL

He is the nicest professor ever, however the course is nearly impossible to keep up with. The homework and in class questions are unrelated to exam material, and he requests that students study for hours a day as if we are not in other classes. Exams are blank sheets of paper where he expects us to create full financial statements, near impossible.

The worst professor ever. Kind of a nice guy, but he barely explains anything and expects you to come to class already knowing 100% of the material. Hard tests that are harshly graded, rarely any partial credit given

Does not know how to teach. The things on exam are absolutely nothing like what he discusses in class and what he provides for us to study. DO NOT TAKE HIM if you don't have to.

Far and away the worst professor I've ever had. Avoid at all costs!! Genuinely sets students up to fail. Exams are so hard and unfair, nothing like the HWs/practice problems. Repeatedly says that students should be studying every day of the semester for his exams? Acts like his is the only class we're taking. Sad because he is kind of nice

Do. Not. Take. This. Class. Honestly, genuinely, consider switching majors rather than taking him. I cannot believe Isenberg allows this professor to continue to teach. I barely scraped a C+ because I asked one of the other professor's for their videos from when they taught during COVID. If you do have to take him, 322 will be easier. I promise.

Orhan is by far the worst teacher I've had in my education career. He doesn't actually teach the lengthy material covered in the class, he just jumps right into showing us problems and expects us to know how to do it. When it comes to exam time get ready to teach yourself how to do these complicated questions and expect a low grade. Awful "teacher"

Doesn't know how to teach. can't explain the material if people ask questions. messes up the solutions and can't even tell you why something is the way it is. awful. avoid if possible. everyone's failing because he can't teach anything for the life of him

Orhan's a nice guy. Is he a good teacher? No. He makes you do problems in class that you haven't learned how to do and THEN explains them, leading to a lot of mistake correcting. His exams are unnecessarily difficult and he ended up curving the grades at the end of the semester.

Prof Orhan really is a nice guy. But this was the worst class I've ever taken. Exams are near impossible. No study guides or anything. Attendance is mandatory but you don't even learn material, you do practice questions and he calls on random people for answers. Please just do yourself a favor and DONT TAKE THIS CLASS

I had a 3.98 GPA before this class. Orhan is nice but a horrible professor.

Orhan is the worst professor I have ever had and its sad bc he's genuinely a nice person. He does not teach or do any problems out, he will tell you to just go home and do practice problems without teaching them and give the answers with no explanations. The exams are hard but you do get a notecard. He also doesnt post exam grades on canvas.

Professor Orhan quite literally does not teach. He expects everyone to read the textbook chapter and teach themselves the material before each lecture and then just works on problems in class. Textbook readings are long and take a lot of time and effort to actually comprehend the material before each lecture.

You have to teach yourself everything. Hope you have a good TA and use tutoring at the library (LOVE U LUKE!) Try to get into the class with the other teacher if not good luck.

Didn't learn anything from the professor himself. Went to tutoring at the LRC every week; they taught me everything. Expects you to teach yourself everything, in lectures he puts examples up but never explains how to solve them. Never taught basics of accounting. You'll have to do so much work outside of the class to learn material for exams.

Orhan was one of my least favorite professors, his exams were relatively easy but I never got my exams back to see what's wrong. He never gives partial credit and really boring lecturer. would not recommend him.

Worst professor I've ever had. Doesn't actually teach anything, just goes over problems in class. Impossible to communicate with, never understands questions when you ask them. Literally had no idea what a 'pdf' was when I asked for in-class study problems to be uploaded to Canvas. Why are we allowing awful professors to stay?
