If you don't get a high grade in any of his classes, then you must not be doing anything on your part as the student. Listen/take notes during his lectures, study for the tests and write the one paper & you pass.

Dr. Beatty is a professor that pushes his students, but also encourages their success. If a student wants to do great, he makes sure that the tools are there. The material is interesting and thought provoking. His classes have challenged me, but also taught me how to be a more proactive learner. 10/10 recommend. I plan to take a class each semester

He uses a mix of powerpoints and readings that contribute to overall understanding.

This professor is a very easy, fair grader. However, this type of accounting course is gruesome and if you can learn a lot with monotone, long, boring class, THIS IS FOR YOU. If you have him repeat the page number or answer or explanation of any problem, he'll make you feel dumb in front of the class instead of just answering the question.
