Easy if you apply yourself
The instruction is very confuse because sometimes he asks you to do problem 1 and 3. if you put problem 2, you answer is wrong. If your answer is wrong, you won't have any credit on that assignment. you have to follow what he asks for. I follow his instructions to finish all the works, I end up with a C grade. watch out! guys. (confusion)
Loved the classi Very straight forward class. Professor Richard Claire is great, he is very quick to respond to emails, questions, and grade assignments.
Professor Claire was Extremely helpful since the beginning i took two classe with him actg 144 and 145. I would definetly take more classes with him
Great course to take if interested in working in the accounting field or not.
Replies to questions clearly and helps a lot with questions and concerns
Knows a lot about the class and explains really well
I have a mac laptop but the coursework is designed for a pc. he was patient during my initial struggles with this disparity and always willing to accept homework and tests sent from my mac in a different format from pc users.
Overall great prof.
Will take his classes in the future.
While the class subject is very exacting (it's accounting, folks), Prof. Claire is very open and available to help with any questions or trouble you may have. Even through the online venue he creates a friendly "environment" conducive to learning.
I have taken a few courses with Prof. Claire, would not hesitate to another (or repeat one).
I loved taking professor Claire's class even though it was difficult. He is a very straight forward instructor and is willing to work with students that are having a hard time be in personal or class related events over all just a great teacher and person. He 100% has my support and I hope to take another class with him.
It's an online class, but Prof. Claire is very approachable. He seems love teaching and cares about his students. I would like to take his other class again.
Prof. Claire is one of my favorite professors. He made the online class understandable and he is easy to be reached to help you out.
Prof. Claire is very encouraging and helpful in responding to questions.
Professor Claire is very knowledgeable and responsive to emails. He is very understanding, and I would take him for any accounting classes I have in the future
Was very clear on classwork objectives, provided quick and specific feedback especially for an online course. Would recommend taking the class.
Professor Claire is absolutely wonderful. He was very communicative with me throughout the semester. He answered all my questions (which was many) and was more than happy to do so. It's easier for me to take online courses since i have kids and Prof. Claire made the course to be very comfortable and easy going. Thanks so much Prof. Claire!!
I really appreciated Prof Claire's willingness to help me succeed in this class. He encouraged me when I needed it most, and that really helped me to get through the course successfully and achieve an A grade.
Best online class ever. The require assignments and exams are straight forward. Professor Claire is caring and always available by email. I would definitely take his class again.
Professor Claire is very friendly and helpful. I took the ACTG 144 Online in the summer 2015. He responded my email very fast and very detailed. He has clear instruction in every lesson as well as the project at the end of the course. His instruction saves me alot of headache and help me finish the project as well.
Professor Claire is great. He is always there for you when you need help. He responds email very fast and with clear instruction. Highly recommended. I really enjoy his class.

Great teacher. I would take his class again. Very easy to follow and very helpful. Beediantee
Very available for assistance with any questions. Quick to respond & capable of clearly presenting the information needed for the course.
I really learned a lot in this course. I found the professor very helpful and receptive to students' needs. I never thought I would like accounting but the material was presented in such a clear and organized manner that I was really able to understand the concept. Sometimes brilliant people cannot teach, but Professor Clair is an exception.
Responds quickly to questions/emails.
The lecture is very good and cleary. If we don't understand he would come back and explain again or even before or after class. He always made clear the way he would give tests and how he would grade it.
Professor Claire fast reply email and answer the questions that I need help. He is always remind and respond to the students, so it makes students very confident to study and get a good grade on the course. I study with him actg 144 and 145 easy to get 2 (A) at the same semester.
Professor Claire is a very helpful and responsible teacher.
A lot of people say the he rambles on a lot, which is true, but the examples he chooses to ramble on about are essential to the curriculum. He talks a lot about his life but he opens your eyes to the possibilities that can pursued through the accounting/business world.
Great class, instructed by a professional with real life experience. Professor Claire wrote his own material which is easy to read and apply to study.
Great teacher. Lectures are well done and easy to follow. Answers any and all questions and very willing to help students. Good class to take for ACTG basics.
He is fair, nice, willing to help you and work with you. Will except late work because he understands that us poor online students have work and need extra time to finish things. He will also contact you via email to not only tell you your grade on the assignment but will also tell you how well you did right then and there too. He's great.
Prof. Claire is not only highly knowledgeable and experienced but he makes a tricky subject interesting by using real-life examples and materials. He would personally reach out to students to make sure that students get the help they need to succeed in the class. Highly recommended.
Professor Claire worked hard on core concept modules which are really helpful to understand the course. He answered all the questions efficiently. Appreciated his works.
Awesome professor! Read his modules and forget the text. HW, which isn't graded & tests which are heavily weighted upon are all based on his modules and lectures. Modules are created by the prof, so read and learn them! Overall 2 quizzes (1 being a take home) and the final. He will go over what will exactly be on the test. Wish he did extra credit.
Great Professor! He makes this class interesting and easy to learn. His lectures, homeworks, and tests are based off his modules. He really cares about his students so he always answers your email, comes in before class if you need help.
Professor Claire is a great professor who knows what he's doing. he makes things clear and easy to understand. His style of teaching is just amazing. I took Accounting 121 with him and I learned a lot from him. I would definitely take him again !
Very knowledgeable and has years of real life experience in the Acct. field. Really cares about his students and their success in class. Don't waste you money on the book. His modules are great and will be all you need to pass. HW is not graded but make sure you do & understand it all before each test. Final grade is based on tests. Great Prof.!
Professor Claire is a responsible and helpful teacher. He spent extra time for those students who needs help and very details on all topics.
Professor Claire is amazing. Just do all the hw and the project and you'll get an A. All you have to do is follow the directions. Directions are very clear and easy to follow (the book is a must). He also accepts late work, just keep him updated about it. Overall Professor Claire is great. Very understanding and caring. I highly recommend him.
Professor Claire, so far he has been one of the most greater teacher Skyline College have to offer. We all should be very very graceful to count with a professor like him. In my personal experience, I have taken three classes 144, 145, 121 and all have been an amazing experience, personal approach, feedback 24/7, and extra time to help you.
Very detailed and clear explanation with material. Quick respond and willing to help out. Definitely will take more of his classes. Highly recommended.
Even this class is online, Prof. Claire has been helpful through email. His projects are more related to real life scenarios. This is useful to those who are already working in the industries.
For those who have idea of Accounting, please take ACTG 100 or 121 before you take this Quickbook class. Otherwise, you may not be benefited from this course. ACTG 144 is useful to those who are going to start a business. If possible, please take ACTG 145 as this course will cover the other half of the Quickbook textbook materials.
I took the ACTG 144 andACTG 145 online classes and enjoyed the class as well as Professor Claire- he is very patient and understanding. I definitely recommend taking this Professor ! The classes are straight forward and assignments are easy enough to understand and learn from but also challenging in the right ways.
Great teacher! Easy to talk to and very understanding of how hard the class is for most students. He gives plenty of reading material, don't bother buying the book. You do have to keep up with homework and make sure to read his material.
Professor Claire is hands down the nicest teacher at Skyline. He cares for his students like no other Professor I've had at Skyline does. He is willing to go above and beyond to help you pass his class. It can be a bit difficult due to the subject of accounting, but Professor Claire does his best to help!
Prof. Claire is very helpful and friendly professor. His modules explain every question in your mind and he makes enough example questions to make you understand the subject. I strongly recommend you to take his class. He also doesn't stress students about grading, he focuses on teaching.
Professor Claire is very responsive, patient, helpful, and friendly. He cares a lot for his students, can't even remember any other teachers doing that. His lectures are so interesting! He gives a lot of reading materials, so you don't even need to buy that expensive book.
Awesome professor. I would take his class again. The material was challenging in a good way, and some modules were very easy. Finish your assignments! If you do, easy A!
The BEST Professor I have ever met!!!!Explains everything in details, you can ask any questions, understandable, caring, hilarious, makes everything for you to pass an any test and final. SIMPLY THE BEST !!!!
Professor Claire is one of the best professor at Skyline that cares for his students. Three test in total (2 test + final). Homework is not graded, but if don't do the homework, don't expect to pass the class. He will do anything to help his student as long as you show effort. My English is not good, but he tries his best to make me understand.
Professor Claire is the BEST Professor! He is really kind, caring and knowledgeable. He tries his best to help students pass his class and makes sure that everyone can understand the course material. I did well in his class because his patience and encouragement gave me the confidence to do better. I highly recommend taking Professor Claire's class
This is a past overdue review. He is the best professor, I took both quickbooks classes & finished them both before the deadlines. the classes are at your own pace, but don't let that keep you behind. He will help you when you ask, so ASK if you need help. Take his classes, you won't be disappointed.
He is an amazing teacher. He responds in a timely manner, gives very good feedback, and if you put in the required work and effort you can get a good grade in the class. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to pursue a career in accounting or anything in the business field.
great professor, writes back asap, and keeps you posted about your progress in the online class.
Best professor in Skyline College!
He was always helpful and quick to respond to any question I had! I would take a course from him again anytime!! :-)
Material in details. Organized class.
Prof. Claire is very zealous and kind in giving his knowledge and clear instructions to students so we can follow his instructions easily. If we follow his instructions every step of the way, we will be successful in understanding the course and are able to use our knowledge for the benefits of our future endeavor.
Excellent class from an engaged and caring Professor. Professor Claire took the time to answer emails pretty much immediately. The instructions were clear and easy to understand so learning was not difficult or complicated. Thank you very much Professor and for anybody thinking of taking the class, you will walk away with a great online experience
Good Teacher
It is an easy online class, but get the skill for preparing your career. What we need to do is to follow the instructions on the textbook and practice how to use quickbook. And it is always good to know how to use the software that need to be often used at work. Highly recommended to the study who want to be successful in business.
I would highly recommend this Prof, Very helpful, and very considerate to his student. He actually reply pretty fast and really good on communicating! One of the best teachers i Had!
Professor Claires Actg 144 Online class was awesome. As an instructor, Professor Claire took the time to follow up on emails and was very understanding if you needed extra time to finish an assignment. Definitely recommend him as an instructor.
He is a wonderful professor and very thorough on assignments. I would gladly have him, again, as one of my professors.
I took Professor Claires Actg 144 Online class. He is very responsive to email requests, very prompt and very helpful. I highly recommend his classes.
The professor is very helpful, and you will learn a lot from this class. I highly recommend to take his class!
I was very impressed with Professor Claire. Unlike other experiences I've had with online classes, Professor Claire pre-empted many problems by being very detailed, specific and thorough in his descriptions of what needed to be done, when it needed to be completed and how exactly to turn it in - very fair grader too! TAKE HIS CLASSES!!!
Prof. Claire responds promptly to emails. He's lenient with deadlines because he understands that most of us are working students. I encourage you to take his class.
Prof. Claire is an AMAZING professor! He's extremely caring and understanding. He responds quickly to emails, has clear and easy-to-follow instructions, and is always willing to help students. Truly cares about his students' success! Would definitely take his class again.
Prof Claire is by far the BEST Skyline has! since I've attempted this course a couple of times I always ended up dropping the class. He is extremely caring, encouraging, and helpful. Without a doubt take him, I highly recommend his class! 2 big midterms and final which he greatly prepares you for. I swear the best, wish I knew of him before!
Great teacher. Really cares about his student. Give extra help and second chances.
Took the evening class at skyline. Originally a 4 hour class, but he lets us out early. Do NOT leave at the break, you'll miss alot of material. Homework is not mandatory, but it's helps to do them. Open note final.
As long as you follow his explanation through homework's review, It will be easy for the test. Try not to miss class, although attendance is not mandatory.
The most helpful accounting professor at Skyline. Professor Claire really cares about our learning process and gives us feedback as soon as possible. If you wanna receive at least an B in Financial accounting, then you should consider taking his class. His lecture is very helpful and closely relative to the real tests.
Prof. Claire goes above and beyond for his students. He is always clear as to what is on each test (2 exams 1 final). Hw problems, which he reviews each class, are similar to the test. He's a professor who really makes an effort to make sure a student understands the material. Would definitely take him if he taught Managerial Accounting.
Professor Claire is a well-spoken teacher who makes sure that the student is well aware of the different problems and topics in each specific lecture. I took him for a night class and it is highly recommended that you stay for the entire class time and not cut out when the break is given. Claire will always make sure the student is taken care of.
It's great that he opens up all the assignments for you to submit at any given time. He still has an ultimate deadline for each of them but at least you have ample time to finish the course before you have vacation plans. This course might be challenging to those that are not tech savvy but the professor has provided great guidance.
Professor Claire was very easy to contact, let his students know in advance when he would not be available and gave positive, motivating feedback. Great online teacher. Sad the on-campus class with him was re-scheduled to another teacher.
This course is very practical, ready to use for real job. The instructions from the professor and the textbook are straightforward to understand and follow.
Fairly easy in terms of GRADING. Helpful and understanding in terms of problems in assignments and working of QuickBooks.
Easy class, nice teacher, easy to do handle the assignments and get a high grade.
I took an online Excel class (ACTG144). Class was pretty straight forward and easy to understand. Easy to communicate (responds back to student questions quickly). Leaves comments on most of the assignments, even to the perfectly scored ones which is really good.
He gives you access to all the assignments before the end of the semester/course, which helps because you can get his class out of the way and focus on other classes that might be just as important to study on.
PLEASE take your accounting classes with him! Go to class, do some of your homework and be prepared for the open-book test. EASY A I have ever had. Claire was also a very fun guys, while keep his professionalism at the same time. He'll answer any questions you may have, with clear instructions marked on the board. Can't show enough my appreciation.
I took Professor Claire again after taking his ACTG144, Excel I. Just like Excel I, his Excel II class (ACTG145) was great. He provides feedback to almost all assignment submissions. As long as you read the text and understand it, the assignments are very straight forward. I highly recommend taking him for both Excel I and Excel II.
Quick feedback and response for grades and any problems. You get to practice a lot of material which helps in understanding and learning the subject. Although there were a few errors in the 2 tests and some assignments, they were easy enough to be corrected and he graded them generously. All in all, a great class.
Really great professor. I took him for 144 and 145. Doesn't mark you down for late work and if you actually show you're trying he is extremely fair. He helped me out when I was confused or had messed up and always gives you an opportunity to correct for full credit. He wants to see his students succeed! Highly recommend Prof. Claire.
Professor Claire is an awesome professor. If you do not know any thing about accounting, take with him. He has his own clear modules which I loved it. He did not give you any home work for grade but if you do not do the homework, the exams are pretty much hard. He understands if you do not get it. He answers emails and help you any time.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He doesn't assign graded homework, but he does expect you to do the homework to better understand the sections and he will also take the time to sit down and help. You can genuinely tell he wants all of his students to succeed and understand the material! Highly recommend this course!!
Great Professor. When you email him for help, he responds right away. Textbook he uses was clear and useful. Must take his class.
Professor Claire is the type of teacher that will help you and respond to you right away via email if you have a question or any concerns. He gives thorough feedback. It was my first time learning quickbooks and the book was great at explaining. The tests help you as well. Definitely take Claire for quickbooks.
Richard Claire is an awesome teacher! He has plenty of experience in the accounting field, and is constantly using real life examples throughout class. He cares a lot about his students, and wants us all to succeed in and after his classes. I would definitely recommend taking his class for financial and managerial accounting!
Professor Richard Claire is a magnificent professor. He helped me immediately each moment that I needed. All time he gave me great support for my online class of ACTG 145 in Skyline College and I would like recommend taking his class for accounting
When I read Professor Claire's CV, I was intimidated by his educational background, the positions he's held in his career & his years of experience in the finance field & thought he would be a difficult teacher. But as I started emailing him with questions, I found him to be a very down to earth professor who cares about the success of his students
Professor Claire is the nicest professor I have met so far. Every time I have questions for my homework, he will respond me ASAP and patiently. Also he is easy to communicate with. He is professional in his field and give us very clear and detailed instructions.
I took an intro to Quickbooks course with Prof. Claire and was impressed with his supportive and understanding approach to teaching. He's really willing to work with students, making adjustments for scheduling problems, and offers helpful suggestions when you run into problems. He is especially responsive to emails, so great for online courses.
Great class to take if you want to get familiar with Quickbooks. If the chapter had a technical issue the professor was aware and provided a solution even ahead of time. Instructions including rubrics and requested documents for credit are very clear plus there is instructive feedback.
The Professor is great at communication. He is very supportive if you put in the effort. Grading is very clear. I took ACGT 144 and ACGT 145 together to reduce the cost of books.
The Professor is great at communication. The final project is significant. So, do not wait to get started. I took both ACGT 144 and ACGT 145 together to reduce the cost of books. Would recommend both the Professor and course(s).
Professor Claire always gives me prompt replies, he is really nice,professional and most importantly , he cares his students.
Professor Claire is an amazing Professor, and he is so flexible when it comes to accommodating the needs of students. He gives great feedback and he provides great help for students in a course that is so demanding. I highly recommend him for any student that is interested in taking financial accounting! 10/10
Great Professor! Took his online class. The modules he makes are specific and easy to understand, with examples. As long as you put in the work and do the practice problems, you'll be fine. Also don't hesitate to ask questions.
This course was a breeze. I have taken many online courses and this was one of the simpler ones. The book was easy to follow, the course work was clear. As long as you did the assignments, at your pace I might add, you will ace the class. I am taking the next course which is 145 and looking forward to it.
It's nice that you can turn in HW late. Also, if you made a mistake on the homework, you can fix it after you submitted it, and then you could resubmit it again. He's responsive to emails so I didn't worry if I was confused about something.
Professor Claire is a good professor to take because he wants his students to learn the material. He is also very flexible with turning in class homework so as long as your reading and following instructions a good grade is obtainable.
Professor Claire is a great professor! He always cares about students, provides positive feedback, and gives several chances to resubmit assignments. The last project of 145 was a little complicated, but it is really worth doing it because the professor created the project using his real experience. I enjoyed his 2 online classes and learn a lot!!
Professor Claire class is very straight forward. If you ever have any questions he responds within a timely manner.
You do rely on yourself to study the material, so you will need your text. Follow the directions, which I thought were clear as can be, and you will definitely pass. You get the chance to learn about QuickBooks and how companies use it. Professor Claire gives feedback and responds to emails! I highly recommend the course and Professor Claire!
This is very usefull course in Skyline college, I learned a lot of Quickbooks skill in this class, if you are looking for a accounting job in your future, PLEASE TAKE THIS COURSE!!!
Professor Claire's Quickbooks course is well put together, he gives easy to follow instructions for the homework assignments and projects.

Prof. Claire is really helpful! I have so many question and emailed him a lot and he answered all of my emails with clear instructions thats why course projects maybe difficult but i understood them very clear at the end. I would definitely recommend to take his classes!
One of the most caring professors I've had! He went above and beyond to help his class via office hours and even open study sessions outside of class. 3 tests- and he repeats most mult choice/essay qs from the practice tests. You really need to work for your grade, so you need to do HW, attend Zooms, and ask questions if you're confused- he helps!
I really enjoyed having Professor Claire. He provides clear and detailed instructions for all assignments. He also provides good feedback on submitted assignments which is helpful because it lets you know how you are doing and what's expected.
