easiest class ever. he gives so much extra credit for each test. you can easily go from an 85 to a 102. if you haven't taken accounting before, i would def. take him.
He is a great teacher. Very helpful both in and outside the classroom.
Great professor. Easy class. An A is easily possible if you study for tests. Nice guy in and out of class
He is one of the few professors who is passionate about his subject, extremely intelligent and a great teacher. He makes even the most difficult information more understandable. I definitely reccomend him to anyone!
great teacher, very helpful, gives a decent amount of extra credit work, must study for tests but they arent too difficult, however tests are harder than they should be since he doesnt get to make up his own.
Great guy, nice, easy to understand, clear as can be. Makes material more than bearable. Tests arent so bad. Helpful. Take this guy. NO ONE ELSE. Oehlers is the man. Funny too..at times.
Very patient, clear explanation, clear goals - highly recommend him!
nice guy. his way of teaching is pretty boring. you'll probably have to teach it to yourself before the test
Stinks.
Oehlers explains things well in class. Yet he doesn't spend enough time reviewing for the exam. Take someone else.
Not a good teacher. He is not the guy you want to be taking. Very ignorant and will not help you. Go with someone else or your doomed.
nice guy. Somewhat confusing, but approachable. Take him if you really understand it.
this guy is nice to everyone! he even helps out during tests! he gives extra credit here and there...he is just by far the best ACCOUNTING professor. because he IS the easiest. i didn't understand acc until him!!
He really has a hard time of explaning each problem. In addition he leaves the class in confusion. Totally go with someone else.
Oehlers is a great teacher. I recommend him 100%. He gives out papers that you can study from for the test. He is nice to everyone and he will definitely help you out. His tests aren't hard. TAKE HIM!!
Dr. Oehlers is a nice guy don't get me wrong. He has the potential to be a good professor but I just can't catch on with him. Try Dorris-Crenny instead.
Oehlers doesn't like to give extra points. Only way to survive this class is partial credit. Exams are department so they are always the same. He is nice but you must bust you butt to succeed.
Professor Oehlers loves tieing things in with the book. I'd say he's a nice guy but his teaching ability is questionable.
Do not take this guy unless you want to fail. Avoid period.
His study sheets help for the test's. He will help you but you better be prepared to work harder then you ever have in your life. If you think you can pass with him go for it. Work hard or don't take Oehlers.
Horrible. Drop before you fail.
BEST PROFESSOR HERE
very uncaring and ignorant. I will never take him again!
I don't know what those other people are talking about but Professor Oehlers makes this class so easy and he is the easiest grader. Easy A or B.
Many people have difficulty trying to keep up with his teaching style. His methods of explaining are questionable to. Yet he doesn't know how to relate the material to the tests.
Great professor. Always willing to help. Went to his office and he helped me with internships. The class is laid out well. There are a bunch of quizzes now, along with the exams.
Great professor, tells you exactly what is on the tests and grades fairly. If you go to the office he will help you with any work you have.
Not a very good teacher. Can be nice but he will stab you in the back. Exams are impossible unless you know every little thing from the homework. Try another professor.
The crappy ratings come from students who expect an easy A. You cant expect to do well unless you do the homework and ask questions! the tests come from the accounting dept, not from him. So they will be hard, but if you ask, he will spend hours with you preparing. The students who did the work liked him and got A's and B's.
Great Professor, nice man. Make any effort, go to class, an easy A.
Awful teacher like the whole department.
Great prof. Helpful, understanding. Gave me a great reccomendation and convinced me to become an acc major. two thumbs up!
had him for acc 202 AND 420...HES THE MAN...tests are exactly what u do in class, just go to class and ull get an A. Its the subject thats not easy but pehlers is the best prof in the department by far
Really terriable teacher. Not helpful in office and hard to follow in class. Try to take this course with another professor.
Not a very good teacher. Rambles on about nothing. Try to go with Reagan Gary.
He is the best acct professor i have ever had...corny jokes..but he helps you out if you ask....including on the tests..you dont have to go to class unless there is a test or quiz and he is one of the nicest profs ive had i cant believe he got a bad rating
Lectures from study sheets. His teaching is very pointless and leaves the class in confusion.
Best teacher ever! No attendance policy, and lets you hand in assignments whenever you get around to them. Easy class to get an A, and learn a littl bit too. He is totally laid back if you need a relaxing course.
A nice guy that is willing to help you. I feel though he doesnt prepare you enough for the tests. I wish there was more review what the Multiple choice questions would be like on the test. He tells what written problems will be on the test. Doesnt take attendance. Jokes..well lets just say he was born with no talent when it comes to humor Good man!
the best teacher i had at West Chester!! He is very helpful, and makes his classes interesting.. def take him!!
This guy is terriable. He never spends enough time reviewing, and he is hard to follow. Tests are alright but his teaching is very poor.
PO was my advisor for my time at WCU. Great teacher, great guy. If the class isn't easy for you, you aren't putting enough time in.
This guy is completely inreliable. Everytime you show up this office he's never there. His exams are impossible yet another failure in the accounting department.
Difficult to follow and comprehend. Will often ramble on about pointless things. Do not take this teacher.
He is a good teacher to take, he is very straight forward goes over each topic, but does not prepare you enough for multiple choice on test, has a good persoality and corney jokes, overall good professor
Looks exactly like Peter from the Family Guy and similar with the jokes. But this guy cannot teach at all. Avoid if possible
cool guy
Oehlers sucks and he needs to be demoted from Chair of the dept. He is so unreliable and so unorganized. I want to die when I am forced to go to his office.
He's a cool guy! He teaches in a relaxed way and gives tests based on what he teaches..if yoy know what you're doing, it's an A in his class. Doesn't try to trick you or anything. Attendance isnt mandatory either. Pretty chilled out professor!
Great guy. if you show some enthusiasm you will get on his good side. Tries to prepare you for life more than teach the material, which I didnt mind at all. Tests are easy except for the multiple choice.
Peter's a good guy and looks like Peter Griffin, but he is beyond boring. It was impossible for me to get though a class without zoning out. 3 tests and and a bunch of quizzes throughout the year
Great guy. Bad teacher. He uses powerpoints the entire class and hes really boring, so it makes it really easy not to pay attention and become lost. If you are lost, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! He's more than happy to help and recognizes that you're putting in effort which tends to help your grade. He used the book 4 times all semester-not worth buying
Prof. Oehlers is awesome. He may come off as boring but he knows what he is teaching. The workbook that is required is extremely helpful. He tells you exactly what problems will be on the test. If you need to take this course I highly recommend him!
Pete is the man, and knows exactly what he is teaching. Tests and quizzes are easy cause he tells you exactly what is gonna be on them. He will help you with any questions
Very great professor. Really willing to help if you don't understand the concepts. A very nice guy and tells you what is going to be on the test so there are no surprise. I would recommend you take him for this class.
At first seems boring, but he's such a nice guy! And super duper helpful! Makes everything as clear as possible.
I really liked him. Very calm class, and his exams were fair. Wish he taught more classes. I would take him again.
Such a nice professor. He tries making the material relatable (It's boring lol). Exams were sort-of easy? The final project is crazy time-consuming but he is available for office hours.
Oehlers was a great professor TAKE HIM. You know exactly what is going to be on the exams ( the multiple choice are hard but are worth about 10% of the grade). He knows his class is boring and "tries" to make it interesting. He puts up the notes online. Oehlers is the right professor to take
The SUA is one of the most insanely time-consuming projects you will complete as an accounting major. However, if you build a relationship with Dr. Oehlers and go to his office hours for help, he is MORE than willing to help make the process so much easier. He is funny, so kind, and truly cares about his students. Great professor at WCU.
Oehlers is a great teacher, although the material is painfully boring. The most difficult part about this class is the projects. The SUA will take you over 60 hours minimum to complete, so it takes up more time than the actual class material. Other than that, he's a great guy who is more than willing to help his students if they need help.
My favorite accounting professor at WCU. The SUA is time consuming but he makes it easy. There's two exams and they're pretty straight forward. Try and build a relationship with Oehlers, he genuinely cares and always goes the extra mile for students.
The class itself is very boring, lectures from power points. But, he is a really caring teaching who wants his students to succeed. Two huge projects that take up a lot of out of class time, but if you go to his office hours he is more than willing to help. Great guy!
My god this class is boring, but Oehlers tries his best to keep us engaged. Lectures are dad-joke heavy, it's really endearing. He cares a lot about students, even coming to me personally during class to ask about my internship search. The SUA is the most difficult thing you will ever complete. Do NOT procrastinate like I did. I've been thru hell.
Professor Oehlers offers very good career advice, and he's very easy with grading. He understands that college is stressful. Having said that, his class is boring and doesn't focus as much on accounting. He also didn't show up to his office hours one time because he was talking with a firm visiting campus.
He is the nicest professor you'll meet at WCU. Go to his office hours and he'll help you with anything. Tests and homework are easy. The SUA and Quickbooks are the toughest part of the class. Work on it throughout the semester and you'll be fine. If you start a week before you are screwed
I thought I didn't like this guy, but he grew on me. He's really sweet and is very helpful in your student and work career life. The overall class wasn't bad. There are two major projects that take a lot of time, but are truly manageable. The exams have some tough multiple choice, but not as challenging essays. I also read the text book.
Who doesnt love owhlers? He is definately one of the most caring professors out there. Yes his course is boring but there is only so much you can do to make that material exciting and he tries. Grades so easy its impossible to fail.
One of the best professors I've had at WCU. If you don't know what you're doing with the SUA or Quickbooks, literally just go to his office hours and he will help you with ZERO judgement. He's here to help you and make sure you PASS.
This class was so boring, but as an Accounting major you will have to take ACC320 with Dr. Oehlers. The only upside is that he's a lenient grader so it's not hard to do well. Start on the SUA project early because it will suck up so much of your time outside of class. Overall, not a very good experience, but he's a super nice guy who cares.
If you're struggling just go to his office hours and he will help with whatever you need help with for however long you need. While attendance is mandatory he does end class early sometimes. If you're an accounting major he has very helpful information on how to further your career. Just don't do his projects last minute or you might fail.
Super lenient grader. Class is project heavy but Oehlers will help whenever you need it.
Oehlers is the best, his lectures are terribly boring but he is a lenient grader. The cornerstone of this class is the SUA which is at least 15 hours of work, quickbooks is 1-3 hours. Study guides are very vague. Find a group to work with, teamwork is what helps you pass this class with an A.
You have to pay 140 dollars get a 100% on a project. You also have to pay 70 dollars for ANOTHER mandatory project and pushes you to get the textbook "if you want an A", which is MORE MONEY. His class is uninteresting and impossible to know what is going to be on the exam. He tries to rope as many people into going to Beta Alpha Psi DO NOT GO.
I actually don't know what this class is about and we're entering week 7 now. Oehlers is a nice guy, but an awful teacher. Go to every single class because he gives 0 notice or advice on homework or assignments. You also have to buy the class textbook, then another textbook (Both over $80) for the SUA project.
Oehler is such a great guy. Most of the class is based on projects that are easy, just time consuming, so don't wait until the last minute. Find a group in the class to do all of the projects with and you'll be fine. If you need help, go to his office hours and he is more than willing to help. Tests are kind of hard but only worth 40% all together.
Great professor. Be ready to do a lot of homework and projects, but is easy if you have good time management. Can easily reach him out of class and is understanding for makeup homework and past due assignments.
Would 100% take Prof. Oehlers again, amazing professor. Very caring & always willing to help. He makes sure you understand the assignments & will pull real life examples to help understand concepts better. Take him if you can!!!
Really nice guy but okay professor. Lectures are super boring. Big project you have to do throughout the entire semester. Get a group to work on it with, I wouldn't have been able to finish without them, DONT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!! Midterm and final, one group presentation, and homework every few weeks. Class sucks but overall not bad
Great guy, meh professor, class is dry but manageable. 2 tests, some graded homeworks, 1 paper, 1 group project. Everything is light except tests, make sure to understand essay questions cause u will get some multiple choice wrong no matter what. SUA is time consuming, make friends to check with, do the 3 comp. assignments early for extra credit.
Oehlers is a really nice guy, but besides that, this might be the worst class I've taken so far at West Chester. His lectures are very boring and there is so much material to study for the tests. There is a semester long project that requires a $70 purchase from the bookstore, a group project, and a final exam. Due dates are always unclear.
Oehlers is genuinely one of the nicest dudes you will ever meet. Lectures can be dry, but reading the textbook its not 100% on him, AIS is just boring. This class is an insane amount of work though. He's very helpful but the SUA takes like 50-80 hours to complete. He says what will be on the test, but its vague and covers a lot of material sadly.
Great guy, but the way he sets up his assignments doesn't really help you learn. This class is like taking algebra without ever taking math. I highly recommend you seeing him for the SUA assignment, and he does provide extra credit opportunities and gives good advice. Very easy grader! Studying I recommend just reading the text books not the slides
