Great teacher. Makes a boring subject interesting. Likes to get the class involved instead of lecturing you to death. Be sure to go to class-he'll test on stuff that isn't in the book, but he talked about. Do the homework, you'll find the same problems on the test. Overall, an effective teacher and I would suggest anyone to take him.

Highly recommend as a teacher. Lots of assignments but will actually teach the subject very well and can actually make you laugh while doing so. Exams were not as difficult as expected but still definitely study as he provides lots of practice assignments. Hope to take him again in the future!

Professor Babin is my favorite professor. There is no other person that has taken such a serious interest in my education. If you have to take any class, take Babin. The courses he teaches are intentionally difficult. He is not a tough grader, but he teaches tough classes. Don't take his tax class if your schedule is completely loaded. It's hard.

Professor Babin is an amazing professor, these exams are TEXTBOOK HEAVY SO JUST READ AND TAKE NOTES. If you aren't an accounting major and don't care abt accounting, then this class will be hard but u have to learn if u want a good grade. Show up to class, he remembers you. There's a lot of homework but it's really helpful for practice. VERY CARING

Prof. Babin is very knowledgeable in the accounting field. His lectures are pretty informative and he teaches with a down to earth attitude. However, this class is VERY reliant on paying attention and there are homework assignments due almost everyday. The exams usually weigh a lot, but if you can manage, then it can be a fun class.

Accounting is not an easy class but this professor made me look forward to going! He is loving, a light to everyone around him, cares so much for you to pass but will not do the work for you and explains things greatly. You will pass this class if you do your work. I wish he taught every subject, definitely a one of a kind professor!!!

He does give a bit of homework, but that's because he cares. he wants us to practice and genuinely better understand accounting. He is who made me want to switch from finance to accounting, actually made it so fun, and encouraged me a lot. I actually enjoyed this class and it was fun for me after I got the hang of it. Def wants his students to pass

LOTS OF HOMEWORK, and the homework only counts for a small percentage of your grade. The exams are the most important thing, and if you're taking this course online, they are proctored. This professor is responsive, and I probably would take him again.

One of the most homework heavy classes ive ever had, around 7 assignments a week. each one takes around 15-30 minutes. Exams are worth most of the points, if you fail one badly youll be making it up for the whole semester. Professor is very helpful and kind, while theres lots of work and studying, he does an amazing job at preparing you for it all.

yes the class has a lot of homework and readings, but its worth it. he matches the effort that you put in and provides many opportunities for extra credit and help along the way. if you show that you care and put in the work, he is the best resource and teacher you can ask for this course.

Your grade relies entirely on the tests. The homework and extra credit only give you 1 point. If you fail a test, you'll be working the entire semester to bring your grade back up. He also states in the beginning that you may need to take this course twice in order to pass, which I believe reflects poorly on any professor.

Oh, where do I even begin? He is the greatest professor I have ever had! Super fun and engaging lectures with lots of opportunities to practice the concepts and boost your grade. Lots of bonus point opportunities. Overall, a great professor who truly cares for each student and their academic performance. Nothing else to say except God bless Babin.

Mr. Babin is okay and explains accounting clearly, but the course is very difficult . Most assignments are worth only 0.11, 0.99, 1, or 3 points, extra credit is limited, and online proctored exams are stressful—logging back in takes time while the timer keeps running, and all work must be done on the computer screen without notes or scratch paper.

Professor Babin is my favorite professor at UofM! He cares so much about his students even though the subject he teaches is difficult. He offers alot of extra credit and really brings light to a difficult course. Also, this is known to be a hard subject regardless of the professor. If you study and pay attention to the lectures you will do great!:)
