Anderson was great. He gives take home tests that you can work on with classmates and he is willing to answer phone calls past one in the morning! Early classes could put you to sleep though.
I love this teacher. He is so helpful and clear and will make sure you pass his class.
Very boring but very easy
This man looks like he's a singer in the cure... he's a nice man but a lousy teacher. he didn't teach!!! my tutor had to teach me everything! my tutor rocks!
a great professor...don't know what the first person was talking about but he made his lecture very clear and he took time out of his day to have out-of-class study groups (and he brought us Krispy Kreme!)
Boring subject, but he tries to make it interesting. Easy tests and homework if you pay attention in class. Always available to help if you need it.
This class was a cakewalk. He gives you take home exams and he's helpful if you ask. He's cool as hell and understands waking up early is a ****.
Great teacher, very helpful, very clear. He makes accounting fun! I would take him for other business classes too.
Very boring subject, but great teacher! Got to love those jepardy questions!
Great Guy! Really cares about students, makes accounting fun and easy! Would take him for other classes.
The rating is somewhat deceptive. You can get an A easily, but he's too easy. It's hard to learn anything because he gives it all to you. By test time, you don't know how to figure out the problems (many of which he doesn't go over) for yourself.But he does stuff to boost your grade.
He's an awesome professor. He is very helpful, straight forward tests, weekly homework, but very informative. He doesn't let you slip through the cracks. Always willing to help you when you ask. Sit in the front, you will get more out of it.
Class was a joke. Anderson is a nice guy but he makes it soooooooo easy that you don't learn anything and it sucks. If you are an Accouting or a Finance major do not take him... Deal is not much better either...
Very friendly professor. Dry teaching style, but loves to teach students. This class is better for non-accounting business majors. Stan Deal (another great prof) would be better for accounting majors. Always available in his office and probably at APU sporting events (he's at all of them)
He's a nice guy, but he is just way too boring. I couldn't help falling asleep during most classes. Weekly h/w isn't fun, he lectures all class on his meticulously put together power-point. Take him if u want, but i'd bring a laptop...or a pillow
Such a nice guy! The material might put you to sleep but he is always willing to help and will do whatever he can to make sure you understand things. Take his class
I took Anderson for Accounting I and loved him. I thought I would again for Org. and Mang. but I was wrong. He is so boring early in he morning. He just goes through powerpoints and 80 pg. packets. I have learned nothing about management and it feels like im in accounting all over again.
EASY A+++, EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE HIM, HE MAKES THE CLASS FUN FOR EVERYONE AND WANTS EVERYONE TO DO WELL AND PASS.
VERY clear. Awesome professor, very fun. Not too hard to get an A if you try a little bit. HIGHLY recommended.
Great Prof! Very willing to give extra attention, he wants all his students to do well! Weekly homework, but never too difficult. Reviews for tests! Great class! I'm taking him again!
GREAT PROF!! highly reccommended!! Really wants to help students understand the concepts! Willing to spend a lot of extra attention on each student! weekly homework, bi-weekly test! But he reviews! Its great!! Take Anderson!!!
Anderson is wonderful professor!! He is so passionate about teaching and his students. He will bend over backwards to meet with you outside of class and to help you as much as he can. I'd definetly recommend him!
GREAT PROFF
Anderson is a horrible professor - he doesn't explain anything. I was an accounting tutor for his students and i basically had to teach them everything becuase he didn't teach anything
great Professor, very clear, helpful, and cares a lot about his students understanding.
Anderson was the coolest and most helpful professor I had last yr.
Deal is so much better
He's a nice guy, but he doesn't explain anything.

Easy A. No homework really. Half the tests are take home, half are in class. He knows what he is talking about and explainst the subject well. He is pretty interesting and does an OK job of keeping my attention
Anderson is such a rad guy. The class was not hard in general. The in class tests were pretty tough, but there were a lot of take home ones which really help the grade. He has the sweetest head of hair you'll ever see also. He really wants everyone to do well so you can get help from him anytime. Anyways take Anderson for sure
Such a great prof!! I wish I could keep taking classes from him my entire time here at APU! He is such a great guy, and genuily interested in the students and wants them to succeed! Take Anderson if at all possible, you won't regret it! He is amazing!!
Paul is awesome. he is great at explaining complicated accounting concepts. doesn't make you work hard. has a great personality. entertaining and rewarding class. don't have anything bad to say about the guy.
Great professor! Take him because you will enjoy the class! Grades easy and always makes sure students understand what is going on. Very convenient office hours because he is in the office M-F all day. Always willing to help and a nice professor. Great at answering questions.
One of APU's best. Well worth taking, excellant teaching style and is willing to give you his attention and help outside of class. Also, does a great job of faith integration in the class. A very uplifting, well-composed professor.
awesome professor! take him. easy to get an A and you really learn!
Prof. Anderson is one of our best professors. He is very helpful in and out of the classroom and gets to know his students. He is the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back if it'd help you. Very caring, encouraging and you are GUARANTEED to learn. Highly recommended.
Extremely helpful and understanding prof. He makes sure u get it with not a lot of work and not hard to get an A. Above avg. teacher. Best hair in the school and easy to talk to outside of class.
Anderson is great! His Accounting courses are easy, you learn everything you're required to know regarding accounting, and he even spends his classtime teaching everyone about current world-business issues and faith-intregration videos. His love for both his job and his students permeates the classroom. Great classes!
Amazing teacher...cares about his students. If you truly try and give it your all, should have no problem getting an A.
FANTASTIC. Nothing more to say. His teaching is no-BS, crystal clear. I didn't get the book, didn't do the homework and have gotten 100% every test. More than that, this guy has a GREAT heart, and makes class time to introduce you to opportunities on campus and off that he thinks will enrich your life. Very flexible. DO IT!
Prof. Anderson is amazing at making accounting easy! He explains it as if it's the simplest stuff, when I know from my friends in other classes that it's actually pretty hard. He is also the most helpful teacher I have ever met and wants the best for you. As long as you go to class and pay attention, there's no way you won't get an A.
Great Professor. He uses powerpoint to teach his class. you follow along with the lesson so that you learn with the class. its great for visual learners. uses real world situations and examples to explain his lesson.
Anderson is such a great teacher; you MUST take accounting with him. He really helps you to understand the subject, and also integrates what it means to be and live a Christian life into his lectures. Great man.. great class!
Such an awesome teacher.. Really loves his students and is very helpful. Makes you really understand a dry subject like accounting. TAKE THIS TEACHER!!
I'm not even a business or accounting major and I got an A in the class. Anderson teaches it in a way that everyone understands. He's a great professor and actively includes faith integration after every class and shows a movie clip. TAKE HIM!!
I took first year accounting at a JC and hated it, but took 2nd year with Anderson and loved it. He makes it really easy to understand and doesn't bore you with theory. He just tells you how to do it and you do it. Little homework and test are easy if you study a little.
The best accounting professor at APU! The coolest hair and a super chill personality. He genuinely cares about his students and will make an effort to get to know you. Don't take any other acct. professor! Easy if you do the easy work he gives you to do. Don't buy the book! Got an A w/o it! Taking him again in the spring :-D
FREAKING AMAZING! every day i want to touch his hair. he is the best teacher ever for this class. he makes it so much easier than it would be with any other teacher.
Anderson is amazing! he actually made accounting fun and interesting. take him no matter what the cost. you dont even have to buy the text book because he makes a course pack for you. He's super helpful if you get stuck which is rare because of how well he teaches. absolutely awesome.
one word about anderson..... hair! i catch myself paying attention to him more because i'm looking at him; mainly his hair. hes the best business professor i've had so far and i'm going to definitely take him again for accounting 2. he's very repetitive in his lessons so by the end, you'll get it.
A-Dog! I have had him for accounting one and two and he made the topic of accounting actually interesting. He wants you to succeed and is very reasonable with everything. Take him and he will be one of your best teachers. Also DO NOT buy the book its $100+ bucks and we never touched it.
Anderson is amazing! I was dreading taking accounting and after his class I actually considered changing my major! If you pay attention and do the exercises you will get 100%s on all your tests. Do the final peachtree early and get tons of extra credit! Take Him!!!
Anderson is my favorite Business professor thus far. He is very clear and makes class fun. He has lots of office hours and is more than willing to help you out if you need tutoring. I was dreading taking accounting, but it has turned out to be a good class.
Definitely one of my favorite professors at APU. Anderson is a very good teacher...he starts with the basics and makes sure you understand before moving on. His hair is amazing, whether it's real or not, and he shows media clips to introduce each company. Learned a lot. Take his class!
Anderson is the man. Bar none, the best teacher you can take for Principals of Accounting 1 & 2 veryy straight forward and very helpful!
GREAT PROFESSOR! Explains things and makes Accounting easy. At first it's a tad difficult but ask questions and he will help. Very funny and interesting guy! Plays great music before class and funny and inspirational clips after class. Take this Accounting professor before others.
LOVE HIM! Very nice guy, always plays awesome music while students are settling in their seat, great hair, great teacher, and is willing to help at all times. Everyone loves him! TAKE HIS CLASS!
He is the man... ;)
Anderson truly goes the extra mile for his students... and not just because he coaches the Marathon team in addition to his classes. He cares about his students and their success and puts in countless hours helping them reach their goals, even if that is furthered by just getting to know them on a personal level. Seriously, he is first rate.
Anderson is the best accounting teacher ever. He is so helpful and easy. I'd highly recommend him. His hair is awesome.
HE IS THE BEST ACCOUNTING PROF! He never uses the textbook, so dont even bother buying it; the course pack is helpful and easy to understand. Accounting in itself is dry, so despite him always trying to make it interesting, sometimes it's a bit boring. The tests are easy if you attend class and do the hw. Extra credit available too
Anderson is the man. His classes are straight-forward and the tests are pretty easy if you follow with him during class. Super classy dude that makes bomb cookies when the class does well! Take this guy!
Very good professor. He is the best for ones that knows little about accounting but want to explore a career or degree in accounting. He guides you step by step to understand the accounting circle and regulated practices. The class packet is very help and get you familiar and confident with the concept you learn.
Anderson is great!! I had NO previous experience in accounting whatsoever, & he helped take a foreign subject & make it familiar. Also he really cares about making sure the class is on the same page as him. While he lectures, he constantly asks the question "Everybody ok with that?" This just goes to show his sincere concern for his students :)
Anderson is the best teacher I have ever had in any subject throughout both high school and college! He really explains all the material well and wants each and every student to succeed. Plus, he makes accounting apply to the real world so you can see how companies use it on a daily basis. The videos are really interesting too! :)
Great Prof. Study before the tests for a bit and you'll ace them. Not difficult concepts and he teaches them well. Hw=50%, tests=50%. He'll bake cookies every once a while and play movie clips during class to express how he views life or relate it to accounting. TAKE HIM!
EASY. Just do your best to pay attention in class. He gives you answers on homework. He's a little boring, but accounting is always boring.
Don't buy book. Show up and you pretty much get an A. Really great prof makes the class fun.
Wonderful teacher so helpful and makes accounting do able! Don't buy book just pages
As everyone else has said, don't but the textbook. Aside from that Mr. Anderson made me love accounting so much I even considered switching majors. Something I would have never believed. He is knowledgeable, helpful, fun, intricate without being confusing and willing to listen. Great proff
I was intimidated going into this class with no background in accounting, but Professor Anderson made the class so interesting with videos and real world examples. My favorite class this past semester! Don't buy the textbook, just buy the course packet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANDERSON!
Professor Anderson is super chill and funny. He makes class enjoyable and if you are anything like me and just wanted to get intro to Accounting 1 out of the way, I would definitely recommend taking his class. Compared to the other accounting professors, Anderson is the easiest. The notebook we use has the same exact question format as his tests.
I recommend going to him after class or email him and make an appointment if you have any questions...he is VERY happy to help you if you ask for it. Also, if you would like an "A" on your tests, go over the classwork on your own. Rework the problems yourself & practice with classmates-- this helps a lot!
TAKE ANDERSON! He is truly the greatest professor you will ever have. He really makes an effort to get to know all of his students and he also relates the boring subject of accounting the the real world. He even shows videos like every day :) Best class ever!
Tests are super easy, do your homework and review before your test and guarantee you will ace it. Don't study for your test and you will fail. I got a 58% on my first test, i study afterward and pick up my crap and now im getting high 90s on my test. I AM NOT KIDDING YOU.
I love Anderson's class. I learn something new every lecture. As long as you're there for lectures, you'll learn a lot. He's a fairly lenient grader and offered 50 points extra credit on a 200 point assignment if you turned it in early. Instead of teaching out of a textbook he teaches out of a course packet he created which makes it easier.
Professor Anderson is a grat teacher! He definitely makes accounting more interesting by showing little video clips and such. The class work is exactly the same as the test so study that! It starts off hard but it really isn't that bad :) plus he gives a huge extra credit opportunity! (No textbook just the course pack)
Professor Anderson is probably my favorite professor that I have taken at APU, and I am a junior. His teaching style is incredibly helpful. Every class he goes over the material, and you have the exact same material in the course pack. All of the answers are right there. However, you have to study for this class. Just keep practicing, and its an A.
He is a really chill guy and his lectures are really straightforward - he doesn't go on random tangents but keeps it focused. He's nice, lenient and resourceful. One of my favorite teachers at APU!
Anderson is awesome! He may be a little monotoned in speech but he knows what he is talking about and really cares for his students. He is super helpful if you don't fulling understand something. Only need the course pack. Don't need a textbook.
If you're not very interesting in accounting, but you have to take it, take Anderson. There's no homework and only one big project with a huge extra credit opportunity. If you study the night before the tests, you'll get A's on them. Don't buy the textbook, but do buy the workbook to practicestudy.
Simple class, great teacher. Don't buy the textbook, only to workbook. Attendance not take, and you really don't need to go because he basically gives you all the lectures. Great guy, and I will take him again.
Anderson is the easiest accounting teacher at APU. He gives many extra credit opportunities and gives you everything you need to do well on the tests. The tests are not long and if you review the material for 30 minutes before, you can get an A very easily.
If you want to learn, do not take this class. I memorized the workbook slides for tests about an hour to two hours before. The tests are really short, only a couple pages, which I finished around 20 minutes. If you want an easy A and to be able to skip class at least once every week then I would say to take this class, otherwisee stay away from it.
If you aren't an accounting major and have no interest in getting really deep into basic accounting topics, take Anderson! There is no homework, about 7 tests, in which he leaves the classroom half the time, one big project, and a final. He also gives extra credit! Take Anderson for ACCT 120 and 121 !!!
Prof. Anderson is so nice, but is sometimes unclear when explaining some of the accounting events in the chapter. There is no homework, but about 6 tests. He will often show "How It's Made" videos. If you need help, he is there for you. The course packet is what his tests and lectures are based on. Take him!
Easy class
Easy class, Easy A. Loved Professor Anderson! Don't buy the textbook all you need is the workbook. Shows a lot of How its Made videos & is a pretty chill professor. Some class sessions can be boring but I enjoyed his class for both 120 & 121; No homework in this class as well
Easy A but still a good teacher.
Very easy if you attend his classes and pay attention. The tests are the same as the class work. You can learn a lot from his.
Professor Anderson explained everything well and I really enjoyed taking his Accounting 1 class, but just be careful because after taking his class and then moved on to Accounting 2, it was really hard so really pay attention and try not to just pass!
You don't need the textbook, but you do need the coursepack. He is really easy (just tests which is the same format of the coursepack and one hw assignment); he is passionate about accounting and his students; he made me want to change my major to accounting. He makes it interesting. My favorite professor of all time.
I never used the textbook, but I used the coursepack every day in class. Never any required homework. Tests every three weeks or so. Easy material, but I felt like I did not learn a lot about what real accounting is like. We covered the same thing for many weeks and progressed very slow. Really nice guy.
Dr. Anderson is very nice, but utterly ineffective. The amount I learned in 2 months in his class could have been covered in 1 week. Half of the time in his class is spent watching "How It's Made" videos with little to no connection to course material. The knowledge he does impart is overly simplified and thus hard to transfer to your career.
If you aren't an accounting major and just looking to get through your accounting classes, Dr. Anderson is a must take. He does not over complicate accounting, and does not give out of class homework. Study for 1-2 hours before each test and you'll do great. Overall: A fun class that gets you another "A" to pad that GPA!
the best professor ever! no homework. only 5 tests super easy
Paul Anderson is so great! I had him last semester and now I'm taking his 121 class! There's only a few tests, and he works really hard to make sure that you understand the content. If you sleep in or whatever, the day-to-day lectures aren't super important, but I would recommend going just so you don't fall behind. No homework!
Take his class.
Super chill prof. Makes accounting simple and doable. Lectures are a bit dry but that's accounting. I hear it's hard to have a different prof for acct 2 so make sure you get him for both classes. Great guy take him.
Really easy class, attendance not required, although make sure you study for tests because that is normally the only grade you'll receive. Homework is pretty rare.
Every class we go through the interactive textbook from where we left off. He does a good job re-explaining things when they don't make sense and we get zero homework. There are tests every couple chapters and no final. Most test questions come straight from the textbook or the jeopardy game he has on canvas.
Professor Anderson is the nicest person I have ever met. He is so nice and I really enjoyed his class. Acct 120 and 121 is supppppper easy, its impossible not to get an A from him. the only down side is that his classes are usually offered as mon, wed,fri:////
we always turned in class work that was done through the lectures, so if you miss that day you miss the points for class work. we didn't have any homework and he gave you packets that were very similar to tests. tests were m/c and pretty easy. if you come to class and turn in work you will be good. He's a great guy and definitely recommend him
Prof. Anderson was so sweet and was willing to answer all questions whenever anyone asked. He got straight into lecturing one class started, and never ended class early. The only drawback of this class was the fact that we had to spend money on the book and also spend money on the "workbook" which was just his slides that could've been printed out.
Was nervous taking the course as I never had exposure to acct. though the class was pretty cool. 6 exams made up our grade & were based off our class lectures. He took away points if you did a wrong # or entry but wouldn't dock any more if you still executed the concept correctly. Recommend printing out the slides & taking really good notes. No hw
Epic dude, very cool professor with awseome hair.
Professor Anderson makes accounting really approachable. The class is mostly lecture-based, but he's great at explaining the concepts. The tests are fair and focus on the key material. I found unstuck AI super helpful for practice questions and exam prep. Overall, a solid course with a chill prof.
