best accounting teacher
No Comments
best teacher but very hard marker. bossy too.
Hard and bossy. But good lectures.
very nice teacher and his explanation is very good but hard marker.
A very good Professor! He is always available for help. He explaines difficult subjects with the ease and clarity. But sometimes his tests are not easy.
He is the best professor you can expect. Alway ready to help, respect students with his charming smile. Take his class as many as you can even though his tests are not very easy, but you can learn a lot from him. Don't complain if you need more study, it is for sure that you can benefit from preparing for his not easy tests.
he is very nice teacher!
He is outstanding teacher! I really enjoy his class!
He is very good; I wish all teachers were like him.I really miss his classes...
He is a very helpful teacher! He expects you to do your homework! If you don't, you will be picked on in class! Overall, he can teach!
Peter Alpaugh is the best accounting i have had to date he does everything in detail he goes through the text page by page chapter by chapter he covers everything in depth if one fails this clas it is due to poor attendance and laziness in doing the work anything he teaches is going to definitely be on the test and he covers any and everything best
Peter Alpaugh is a huge asset to George Brown College. Incredible teacher - crystal clear and very willing to help - can explain anything in five different ways. Tests are fair, marking is fair. Do your homework - he will call you out in class!!! Wish he could teach me all of my accounting courses.
He is a gem at GBC. He is willing to help anyone who need help. He is the best accounting pro
Great teacher. Posses a very good knowledge in the subject and is easy to talk to.
Professor peter is the best you can get out there. graduated from the university of waterloo, and yet worked for price waterhouse coopers for more than 8 years. All i can tell you is that in order to get an A + in his course u need to study. What ever he says is very imnportant, because it will be on the test... Thanks for ur knowledge professorC(=
Really great teacher, he explains everything very well. He makes it interesting and is very knowledgeable.
He is the best professor. You will never get bored in his class.
excellent teacher take him, take up almost every question from the book. goes in a row so everyone has to answer something every class. over all great prof. but for the tests you have to study..
Based on my 2 year learning experience at George Brown College, he is the best accounting teacher ever. I don't understand why my school does not give him a full time positon
Really Guys? I can't stand him at all and i am suprized to find out that he is highly rated here. booooooo!
Had him every semester since i started at gbc, best accounting prof imo. Very clear explanations and provides adequate help for students.
EXCELLENT TEACHER, BEST ACCOUNITNG PROF. I EVER HAD!!!
Excellent prof. very structured. uses time well. uses textbook a lot but also his own examples
He is brilliant
Best Professor Ever!! Really knowledgable! Have to work hard to earn a good mark.
If you want to learn the real accounting, choose him.This is the best professor I have ever had. Believe me,you wont regret. Of course you have to work hard to earn your mark. If not, he will tell you "try harder" or "try harder".
Best accounting prof i have had. Maybe best prof. Helpful. knowledge. jokes but takes time to answer question in class or after. not easy though - tests are harder than some others.
Took this course last term. Now that i see another prof this term i know how much better this guy is. Everyone said his tests were hard. But he teaches you the stuff. You still need to practice and read to get A, but you can get B just doing the stuff in class.
course is hard but now i see why others rate this prof high. i start to get accounting. assignments easy. tests hard.
He is very hard teacher. He likes to give the questions to explain about IFRS, GAAP… on test, those were such stupid thing because whatever u did, he expected you to answer like a professional accounting way. I'd read all these commons that students gave him 5stars before I took this guy, but it was too wrong. I was so regret to take him!!!
he is hard but good. ok for me
i liked this teacher. he is good for beginer students becuase he explans clear and does many problems in the class. some dont like becuase he asks them questions. it gives you stress
This course is so much better with this prof. Still don't like the book though. And his tests are hard - no multiple choice - even quizzes. But I am doing ok this term.
he is good. friend recommend him.lots of practice in class. but test is hard needs much practice. writing questions too. we did not have that in other class. but still i like him.
Great teacher. hes pretty hard but fair. you need to attend his classes and listen carefully
Peter is one of the best at George Brown. Some people comment how he is rude or too difficult - I guess they must think the real world is butterflies and unicorns. Peter's instruction arguably has the most clarity compared to the other instructors, which is a feat since there are a handful of gems in that department.
He is the best accounting teacher I have ever known in George Brown College. I took three accounting course from him, and he was never late and almost made full use of the class time--very responsible and knowledgeable professor.
Wow! People tell me at least something good in this guy that makes it worth tolerating his attitude. From my experience his teaching technique doesn't even pay off 10% for what you have to put up with him. I had an “A” in acct prior his class and he made me hate the subject in just 3 classes. Well, that's a skill! I wonder why he even teaches…?!
i liked this professor. if you do your homework you will do well. and his class is not boring. he makes everyone answer questions.
Great class for beginners. Peter is very clear and quite entertaining. He is very intimidating at first but as long as you come to class and do your work, this class is actually very enjoyable. Accounting definitely is not boring in his class.
He is disorganized and it's distracting the way he never stops moving. Rude to students. There were sign language interpreters in the class and he was very rude to them. says things that contradict the text book. rambles. I am an A+ student but I couldn't learn from him. Fortunately the text book is good
At first Peter seems very intimidating, but eventually you will get used to his teachings and pattern that will be shown on the tests. Very knowledgeable, and engages the students which can be annoying but makes you learn. Must have professor.
this guy is good. we had a good class almost everyone attends almost every day. some test questions are hard but no surprises. lots of chance for good marks from quiz and assignments too.
The best teacher I have ever met..... :-D If you really want to study accounting
Peter is an exceptional prof. If you're looking to be spoon fed or make excuses for yourself, you won't like hime. If you're interested in becoming a real accountant with a deep understanding and aren't afraid of working hard, you have to study under Peter.
I switched to degree now and you can tell in our class the people who had Peter and learned Accounting concepts and details and the people who didn't. He is good. But not easy.
almost everyone comes to class and we actually kinda like the class even though it is accounting and we did a lot of work. book is hard to read but everything is explained in class when we take up problems.
His teaching is very well structured and clear explained. If you want to be a good accountant in future. Take his course. But he is hard grader and callous. I supposed to get A+ just like all my other courses. But only get A. I tried my best.
Peter is a good teacher,BUT he is very tough... He gives us extra assignments to do. After all, he could be rude to students.
One of the best professor! It;s a difficult course, but he explains everything as clear as possible. His class has bonus mark, and lecture notes as powerpoint on blackboard for you to review, compared to other professors, those two are already huge advantages. But he is a tough marker, which challenges you to be better and better.
He is a great prof! all you have to do is listen. He may seem intense at first but he calms down when he gets to know your name.
Best Prof!!!!
He is a hard marker. He make tests too difficult, if you didn't study, you can't pass. He is bossy and he has his own strick way to teach. If you don't do the homework every class, you will be in so much trouble. He asks lots of questions to student in the every single class. His lecture is very good but you gotta study very hard.
Peter is an awesome professor, he makes sure that you understand the subject by asking everyone to answer the homework. He is a tough grader and very strict to something but you can deal with that.
peter is a good prof but hard. You will learn a lot if you concentrate and participate in his every class. He will ask a lot of questions to help you understand and assign homework for practicing which I love him the most. His test is hard but he will give you the area that you have to focus on. Anyway, he is the best prof I have ever met in GBC.
attendance is not mandatory, however this is accounting that we are talking about. you should attend because he gives some questions that are modified from the textbook for a better understanding. he also will give you some solutions to questions printed out which is good practice. make sure you read/do your homework, passing with flying colours!
Peter is a very good prof, but it is hard to get high marks. You can learn a lot in the class. You must finish homework and answer in class. Also he will print out some of the more difficult answers and send them out every class. btw, the quiz is easy but test is very difficult
he is an amazing prof. i have taken him in the last and he doesn't give you anything on a test that you haven't covered. do your homework because he lets you know when the semester starts that there will be pop quizzes. this forces you to read the textbook and get a better mark in the end. worth taking this professor!
He is the best teacher ever, if you want to learn accounting take him for sure. But be prepare to study hard ,do homeworks and for sure attend all the classes if you want to have a good mark.
So far he is the best professor I ever had. I am taking his Accounting Fundamentals I and I LOVE IT! He makes everything very to understand. He also tries to remember everyone's names, which is really nice of him! ^^ All you need to do is be in class and try to practice the exercises he gives and you will get good grades!
Peter is a cool guy. Although he seems to be very strict first, after some time you get used to his behaviour and even get fun! :D I really loved the way he teaches and how he makes everything clear. My advice: do all your homework and don't skip his classes. If you want to get A - be ready to work extra.
Nothing to say, except PERFECT. Best Professor I have ever had! You need to do homeworks if you want to pass the class!
He's a tough professor
He is such a great professor, very dedicated to students. If you read book and do homework, you will pass his class very easily
Picks on his students and belittles them any chance he gets. Had him twice a week, one 8 am and another at 12 pm, noticeably friendlier during the afternoon than the morning. As far as teaching goes he's adequate, first half of his class would be a bit of review from last class then homework problems from the last lecture, second half new lecture.
The best teacher I've ever had! I had Acct II and Financial Acct I with him. I really loved the way he teaches. If you really want to learn, he is the right one. Although it seems to be very strict first, after a while you get used to. Very well organized, he gives all the material. You need to do homework & don't skip classes if you want to pass!
an excellent professor I have seen
Great Prof but expects a lot of homework. Tests are like homework but always some tricks. Explains well but expects you to participate. Kinda strict and bossy too. but organized.
All you have to do is attend classes. He is an amazing professor. Questions are similar to what he takes up in classes. I had failed he course once due to not attending classes. Do hw it helps as constant practices the second time around i got an A. Love him. He is very knowledgeable. Does surprise quizes but predictable timeline usually wnch ends
One of the best Professors. He really cares about his students and helps his students succeed.
He is superb. The way he teaches is brilliant. But if you are not good at accounting then it's your call. If you wanna really learn financial accounting then choose him.
He teaches the concept well but very irrelevant to the real world. However, you can easily get an A as long as you show up and do homework.
The best teacher I've had in accounting. He knows how to teach, explain with real examples. He knows how to engage students in his classes and is fair to the students who work and go all classes. I took accounting II and Financial accounting I with him. I can say that if I have learned some accounting it is thanks to him.
This prof is awesome and knowledgeable. If you attend class every day, focus on him and do ur homework so you can learn everything. Believe me and choose him!!!
provides you with great examples. I always have trouble with teachers who have accents but he Speaks clearly and with no accent. Classes are fun.
Had him for 2 courses. He is an amz prof. He really cares about students and gives good feedbacks. Classes are fun. Expect you to do homeworks and answer questions in class. He also gives lots of real life examples.
Professor is such the best teacher this semeter I've taken. He gave out the problems and solved that to guide students. He also answered clearly any questions. He's a little bit strict but reasonable, he's also funny too. He taught and gave some stories that did not make the class boring. He is the best recommendation for you guys.
Awsome
There is no doubt Peter has full knowledge of his subject. He wants you to learn; however, these certain time has led us to a new environment and we are still adapting. He had never delivered an online class as he explained and there were some times many students got confused. Nonetheless, I enjoyed being his student and learned appreciably.
He explain very good and makes the course very easy.
Professor Peter was an overall good professor. Textbook is important and easy to self-teach content with. Tutorials are mandatory but incredibly helpful and worthwhile. Dry sense of humour that I found enjoyable.
Professor Alpaugh is the best accounting professor you could ever find. He is passionate in teaching, and he makes the accounting concepts super easy to understand. He is very organized, cares about his students a lot. He would try to remember everyone in the class and have everyone engage during the lectures. Highly recommend taking his classes!
Professor Alpaugh is one of the best accounting professor I've ever had. As long as you put your effort in his lectures and practice the exercises (which all should do in accounting), you will understand everything and get good grades. I highly recommend taking his courses!
The best professor I've ever had.I will miss this course.
I would recommend his classes!
high level of professionalism. He has a lot of experience, and we are lucky to have such a professor. He is very organized and tries to remember every student's name. He is knowledgeable and does not even have to consult a book. Note: you should make an effort as Student so don't expect to be pass if you don't make any effort
