Really helpful if you pay attention to and do some previews in advance of Professor Alpaugh's class. You have to be quick and sharp-minded in his class. He explain clear concepts that you need to learn. If you don't understand but you're attentive and ask questions, he'll help you after class. I miss his class and am grateful for all his teaches.

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!

Out of all of my Accounting courses I have taken here at Seneca College, Peter has to be one of my favourite professors. His lectures are enjoyable and easily understandable, making a quite difficult course bearable.

Professor Peter is one of the best professors in Accounting at Seneca College. He explains the lesson very well and he is very approachable. Your grades will really depend on your performance if you study or not. Just be prepared during exams. Everything you are looking for relating to the course is provided by Peter in BB. Amazing Professor! :)

Professor Alpaugh's class was challenging but rewarding. His lectures were clear, and he genuinely cared about students' learning. For study prep, I found ChatGPT and Unstuck ai to be really helpful alongside the textbook.

Seneca saved the best professor for my last term. Peter is a gem in the SAFS faculty. One of the brightest, most passionate about accounting. You will never regret taking his class if you are a genuine accountancy enthusiast. I will never forget him.

Professor Peter Alpaugh was a great professor this semester. His lectures are good and periodically asks if any students have questions regarding the material being covered. However, this professor is very generous in making the assessments and final exam open book and giving his students access to the course textbook and Microsoft Excel.

He is a great professor and a typical accountant. He is a precise and organized man, seem everything under his control. You can learn solid accounting knowledge from him if you are engaged in his class. I recommend you to take his course, you will learn excessive accounting knowledge beyond the textbook.
