If you do the reading...you will love this man!

Not that hard at all. He makes everything real clear...then again, my dad's a lawyer so anything I'm stuck with I just ask him about.

He's a cool guy. As long as you read and do everything he requires, you'll be alright.

i love this teacher! he's awesome.. the most funniest guy. he's a great teacher. always willing to help students that care.. all you have to do is do the reading and i promise you'll ace his class

Too bad the two people below me are dead wrong.

took him for a summer class... got a B pretty damn easy just memorize the terms... has a lot of interesting stories about law... lets you out of class early sometimes.

nice guy

he is such an EASY teacher... just read the chapters and know the terms, and you will pass with an "A".

Heis allright

Comes across very hard, but is really very fair and very concerned about the student succeeding.

Just read the chapters and you will be ok. If you ask a question, you will get a very clear answer. Lots of details in this class, but the exams are ok. Multi questions+ T/F.

Yes this prof. is hard.But he is very helpful. If you are serious about learning the material then you won't have a problem.He gives extra credit that helps you raise your grade.If you need help and ask for it he will help you, but if you want to just kick back and not put any effort then take anoth

He is a great teacher, if you do the work!If he sees that you never come prepared he will have it in for you come grade time, if you do the work and contribute in class you will get a good grade. I suck at math/acct and got a B in this class. Tests are easy and multiple choice!

Probably the best Law/Business prof on Campus. Strict with and old school approach. Make sure that you do you home work but in embracing LAW combined with Ahrens teaching you will walk out of the class knowning BUSINESS LAW

Study and come prepared to class. Participate in class and do any extra work. He is tough on those who do not do their work. Dr Ahrens is very fair. I say again: Do ALL The Work and Study, Study, Study... Come to class prepared with homework complete. Read the Syllabus (print two copies). Ask questions on things that you do not understand.

I liked his class. hi's very helpful!

I loved Mr. Ahrens. I had him for a summer class in 2004. He is very funny and easy going. If you take good notes, you are sure to pass his class. The quizzes were very easy.

This professor is awesome, do your work and study and you will be good in this class. Bring your Accounting Book and Read the Law terms and you will pass in both classes. B and B

his is one of the best professor I ever had, just stop winning do homework and study. you will get an A+ he s not that hard

I believe pp who say he's hard don't know how to learn in college. He makes us do the work for our own benefit. Trust me, take his class with a serious attitude and u'll learn a lot. Got inspired after taking accgt 1 and now considering to major in accouting. He's so far my best prof at Pierce!

If you have read all of the past review, you'll probably see that those who rated him bad are those who didn't do the work. Yes, he'll go after the slackers in the class because he wants everyone to learn. Just come prepared and you'll like him. I give his class two thumbs up!! ^-^

I agree that he's a good professor. He hates slackers, and he makes you work hard for your grade. He's also good at motivating students. When I got a good grade in the class, it's one of the most gratifying moments in my life , yet when I got a bad grade, I never felt discouraged but just knew that I should try harder next time.Absolutely recommend

If you do not like being scolded for not understanding the material DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! Good teacher but if you do not keep up he will call you out in class. If you do take the class. READ the book and memorize the terms/key points in the chapters before class or else!!!

He is the best teacher I ever Knew!

Makes students feel dumb. make sure u go to class, he takes attendance. You can pass if u read the book. get on his good side cuz he likes to call people out. tests are not that bad if u read the book. a few asignments. i got a C with minimal effort

to be honest with you I have no clue why people wrote such bad comments about him. I'm currently taking the class and he's a great professor. His tests are multiple choice and pretty much straight foreword. he helps you until you get it. You must do all the work to get an A but you should not have a prob doing it. If u r a business major take him

I'm looking for easy professors, just like most of you. I didn't have a chance to look for one for my accounting 1 class, and I'm glad I didn't. Ahren's ratings are wayyy too low. He will not give you an A for effort but you will understand so much from him that you will know the material by heart. No one is better than him. TAKE HIM! He's not hard

Honestly I tried to get out of his class but, no one would add me However Arhens turned out to be a GREAT professor he may scare you the first couple of weeks but he just wants you to take his class seriously. If you need help he will help, just dont ask stupid questions. Also go to class! In the class there are 3 exams, and a few hw assignments

I took Ahrens for Accounting 1 .. I found him to be a caring teacher that makes you do the work so that you ACTUALLY LEARN! If your real lazy and dont plan on buying books hes not the teacher for you! He is helpful giving out very few extra credit and hes ALWAYS there to help clarify anything after class. This teacher is extremely great at wat he d

The key to this class is doing the hmwk before every class and PARTICIPATION. You will regret it if you don't do the hmwk, b/c the whole class time is Q&A based on hmwk (not many lectures at all) Three tricky exams incl. final plus 30 pts for attendance/ partipation. If you participate actively, he will love you! AND you will do well on the exams!

Dr Ahrens is a great teacher many of the other reviews you read will be of students who dropped out. He is very hard on people in the begining because he pushes you to learn.Make sure you do all the reading before class do the homework you will do great. He is very helpful if you ask him.

He's funny,overall a nice guy, a lot of people dropped his class but it's one of those classes you had to stick around to see THAT IT GETS BETTER! He joked around a lot and first test was a take home, so Just learn ALL the terms and read the book, you need it! I personally LIked HIM A LOT!!

His class is super easy. All you have to do is attend class, and do the terms. Just from that, you can figure out his tests. Unfortunately, I was sick a lot and missed a ton of class. I still got a C without even trying. If you read the book, you'd get a 100% in the class. No lie. People complain because he embarrasses you if you don't do the work.

Dr. Ahrens is one of the most diligent and professional instructors with whom I've ever had the pleasure of taking a class. He cares deeply about preparing his students for a future career in business and/or law. This is not to say that he is an easygoing person. He does not tolerate laziness at all, but if one reads the text, one will succeed.

This man is a living encyclopedia. If you are social and productive with him you will see how clear and polite is he.

This professor didn't have the most exciting class, but as far as lectures, he made everything very clear to understand. simply read the chapters and know the vocab words and an A or B is easily in your hands

Attend class, be respectful (no cell phones), do the definition and volunteer in class, you'll get at least a B. He's a very kind professor but he does expect you to do the work. It's a very easy class, I took him for accounting also. I loved him!

He sets high expectations for the class, but is fair. If you don't do the work and come prepared, you will be called out--which happened to just about everyone at some point. the exams were straightforward and pretty easy. He can be grumpy, but I actually liked him alot. Goo sense of humor--you just have to understand where he's coming from.

I took Prof Ahrens during Winter Session, which is five weeks. I already know him before I took Acctg 1 because he was also my Prof for Bus Law 5 and he is good! If you don't come prepared and you get called and you don't know the answer that's on you! He does have a good sense of humor and teaches the class well. Got an A for both classes!

He expects you to come to class prepared, knowing the materials ahead of time. Otherwise, he will get angry and be disappointed with the class. Other than that, he will gladly help you when you ask. Don't be afraid, he'll gladly help you if you don't understand. He gives out handouts and study guides to help for his test.

good teacher grades are easy you just need to read. the biggest thing is the book cost alot but its for acc 1 and 2

Be prepared to be a college student! If you think for a second that you can get away with not trying in this class, drop it. This is a good insight for law and future law classes. He wants his students to do well and that's why he's so tough on his students. 4 exams and drops the lowest one with a final at the end. I enjoy his class!

He's nice professor. I love the way his teaching.

Accounting is a pretty tough subject so you really have to pay attention and READ!. He gets upset if no one does the reading or can not answer his questions. He has a great personality and is very helpful and friendly. I aced the class, but I definitely worked my butt off. I would take him again. Very little HW (which help A LOT with the tests)

He will drive you crazy EVERY class, but when the class is over you will be glad you took him.

Accounting is a difficult subject; therefore, reading and doing the work is essential! This professor is very helpful, friendly and kind. You will definitely need to work hard, but he will help you being that he wants you to succeed. Stick with him, do the work, read the material and you will pass! He's a great teacher and very knowledgable.

READ. READ. READ. Always read before the class. Study. All the time. He expects you to read. He'll ask you questions in class regarding the chapter & if you don't read obviously he gets annoyed. I took him for winter. If he sees an improvement in test scores that helps alot! Always ask questions. He gives quizzes & tests. Just read the book!!

Overall good teacher. expects student to do the work he assigns (how terrible). focus on vocabulary and basic concepts for exams and you should do fine. Lectures rely on students reading beforehand, so if the class didn't read he can get pissed off. Just keep up and hope your classmates will too.

This teacher knows what he is talking about, and you will definitely learn something. He randomly calls people in class to answer his questions to make sure you understand. He does get frustrated if you can't answer, but he does care for his students in my opinion. His tests are straightforward and about the problems he goes over during lecture.
