real easy he is a good guy
Great teacher, because he's not really a teacher. Former accountant who takes the time to make sure you know what you're doing. Cool guy all around.
He is more then fair
Best teacher I've ever had; Student interested and very helpful.
This is one of the most educational professors I have ever been instructed by. The class moves only at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. Mr. Culp has a genuine interest in his students and actually pushes his students to succeed by sacrificing his own time.
Really cares about you learning the material and very fair.
Just a great teacher. Very interested in knowing that you understand the material. Probably my greatest professor to date! Why can't all professors be like Culp!!!!
No Comments
He was my one and only NORMAL teacher when I had him. Always had a smile on his face, and actually made class kindda fun!
The best teacher I have had at Ball State. He has real life experience at Price Waterhouse Coopers, currently working there. He should win an award. Amazing professor
he is the best teacher for accounting 201, you will acutually like this class and get a good grade...very good teacher, plus he is funny and makes class enjoyable
he is a great teacher. he is willing to help whenever you need it. he explains stuff that will be on the test.
Great teacher; has real life experience and really cares about the students, this is the 3rd time ive takn this class and he his the only one that makes it clear cut. Best teacher ever!! A+++
dick culp is THE ABSOLUTE MAN. best teacher ive ever had in my life. makes things interesting, and fun (and yes it is accounting we are talkinga bout). genuinely cares about every student. i feel like im friends with this guy. kinda makes me want to find out what higher level acc. class he is teaching and take it as an elective!?!??! fantastic
Great Teacher!!!
The best teacher I have ever had.Dont hesitate to take a course with this professor!
I will really miss this class. He has two passions in life: 1. Accounting and 2. Teaching it. Don't take advantage of the class just because you saw he's an awesome prof. You do need to study and understand the material. That is what gets you an A.
Great guy-cares about teaching and about his students.
this guys is the man, and he loves what he is doing. u got to study but thats accounting
One of the best professors I've ever had, easy class that could be boring but I love his teaching style and he is really into what he is doing. very refreshing
the best prof i've had in my college career; cares about his students and how they are doing; goes out of his way to help; awesome teaching style; keeps you entertained and at the sametime you learn; enjoys what he does, awesome prof!!!
Nice guy and great at teaching in the classroom, but he doesn't respond to questions by email and does not concern himself when students have technical problems with the homework.
great prof.
He is one of the best teachers at BSU. He helps his students because he really cares about how they do. He is a great teacher that I still say hello to in the halls of WB. If you have to take ACCT 201 take him. Sadly he doesnt teach 202.
I am not one for business classes or any kind of math. He really helped alot. Turn in the homework, it's just completion but you still get points if you write jumble. And ask him if you have a question on a test. HE'LL GIVE YOU THE ENTIRE ANSWER!!!
Amazing teacher!!Absolutely amazing! He has so much faith and confidence in his students. He truly cares about his students and makes class fun and interesting.
Great Class! The professor was very easy and entertaining...was dreading accounting at 8 am..he made it very much enjoyable
Culp is so CASH MONEY!! I dred taking business courses and had to take this for hospitality, and he's one of the best profs I've ever had in college!!
Awesome teacher!!
Great class!! Made it really easy to show up at 8 a.m. Easily approachable and made the material easy to grasp!!
Awesome guy. This class is good for anyone. He's the man
He was VERY helpful, and he made the class fun. He actually wants his students to do well, which is hard to come by anymore.
Richard Culp is a bad ass, and is a excllent teacher. He makes ACC 201 do-able, and helps you alot with your HW. His class isn't cake, while at the same time it isn't extreemly hard. He isn't afraid to say the ocassional**** or damn,and gives life lessons on marriage lol.
Most helpful teacher i have ever had
Best prof. I have ever had! If you attend class you WILL pass
Best Acc teacher at BSU
Explains the material perfectly and is more than willing to help is you dont understand it. Very down the Earth and funny. Great prof for a confusing intro class like Accounting 201...
LOVED THIS CLASS! He is a great professor and I wished he taught Accounting 202. I had class at 930 and I never thought about skipping because he made class so entertaining! Would recommend anyone try to get in his class! He is very willing to help you outside of class if it is needed.
Great prof... made class fun...Best prof i have ever had.... makes class fun
very awesome and helpful!
If you have to take an accounting class, get this guy to teach it. The man is awesome. He explains things pretty clearly and he's funny, which will keep you awake in class. Somehow, the man manages to make accounting interesting. Take his class!!
This professor is soooooo cool that his class is always funny!it's easy to get an A if you do his homework and full attendence.
Culp is the MAN. I had no idea what accounting would be like and he almost made me want to become an accounting major. Makes class so fun and overall he's such a cool guy. Life lessons on marriage, and in life are included haha. Take this class, and forget about the rest.
He is great! He is soo helpful and loves what he does! Class is great! Not to difficult and if it is he will help you with whatever you need!
He is AWESOME !!! I hate any kind of math and I loved this class !!!! Easy pass if you go to class and do the homework!!! GREAT Guy !!!!!
He is awesome. Really helpful and funny, I failed accounting once with a different teacher and then took it with Culp and got an A. This guy rocks
If you are looking for an A, Culp's class will be the best choice... Just take this class.
Quite a fabulous man, love his class, easy and helpful!
He spends a lot of time working with you when you need help and interacts well with the class.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He teaches the material really well. He is an accountant not a teacher by trade and teaches the material in a different manner. This guy is awesome. He is pretty funny as well. This guy is the easiest acc 201 teacher you can get!!!
Culp is the best professor I have ever had and will ever have. He is the nicest man and is so helpful outside of class. Somehow, he made accounting fun and I looked foward to going to his class.
best professor!
Great guy, very helpful, Im enjoying his class!
very good teacher and probably the best i've had at ball state. he knows what;s going on since he was an accountant prior to this class. take his class!
One of the best professors at Ball State hands down! LIFO & FIFO BABY!!!
Hands down THE BEST PROFESSOR AT BALL STATE!!! After taking this class I changed my major. Thank you Mr. Culp! P.S. Mr. Culp should get a pay raise every semester lol
Best prof I ever had. Explains everything well so you understand. He tells you exactly what to study for tests. No surprises. One homework assignment per chapter.
Great teacher!!!! Really excited about accounting. Pretty easy tests and homework, just pay attention to his powerpoints they mean everything.
Culp is the best accounting professor at ball state!
Best professor I have ever had in my life. Made the class so easy but I learned the most I ever have in a college class. 150% you need to take him for ACC 201.
Super easy class. one of my favorite professors ever.
He is really nice and great! I learn a lot from his class!
He is a good professor that makes accounting much easier to understand.
Best professor I've ever had. Extremely helpful and always willing to work with students, explains material very clearly and makes lectures interesting. Uses connect for homework, so you will need the book. Just be friendly to him and show interest and he'll practically hand you an A. Definitely would suggest him. Just a great professor.
What a great guy! He is very helpful and explains everything great! He also makes the lecture fun! All his homework is online. During the review class before the test he tells you exactly the format of the test so that you exactly what to expect with no tricks!!
Dr Culp is my favorite professor I've had since I've been at BSU. He is great at what he does and not only wants all his students to succeed, but also makes sure that every one does. He won't go on until he makes sure everyone is clear about the subject. If you have a question he is more than happy to answer it for you. Great accounting prof!
Mr. Culp is the best professor I have had yet at Ball State! He will help you with everything and if you go to classes you will no doubt get an A on the tests. Highly suggest this teacher!
This is a fantastic teacher he really loves what he teachers about. He is a fantastic teacher he tries his very best to make sure that everyone understands the subject. Their is homework but it is essentially just a completion grade. He is just a fantastic guy overall loved him and his teaching style!
Great teacher! Absolutely loves what he is teaching. Material is a little hard to understand at first, but before every test he does a review day and makes everything really easy!There is homework, but graded only on completion. Makes sure that all his students succeed. Truly cares! Recommend him!
My experience with the online course is that you are completely self-taught. Little lecture or teaching is involved, which is disappointing. Read the chapters thoroughly and do all HW and you will do well.
Great professor, my favorite at ball state to this point. Homework was online and just for completion, he explains well in class. His tests are easy because he tells what is on them. Final is student created with his input as well. Good guy who is passionate about what he teaches. Highly recommended
Great professor, my favorite at ball state so far. Homework was online and just graded by completion. Quizzes and tests were easy because of his reviews the previous class. Final was based on what us students and he compromised on. Great guy who is passionate about what he teaches. Highly recommended.
Kind of a boring lecturer but says everything you need to know. Homework is graded for completion. The tests have been easy with minor studying. He'll tell you exactly what to expect.
Professor Culp keeps class interesting and is obviously passionate. Homework is for completion. He puts things in simple terms and gives great tips for making the work easier. Best professor I've had!
Best Prof I've had at BSU
Wouldn't recommend taking the online class. Culp will meet with you on campus and give tutorials, which are the best. He goes over test questions and explains things the book doesn't cover. Don't bother taking online, take Culp in class. He's hilarious and you'll get an easy A if you do.
Very passionate about accounting, hilarious, very generous grading and he's always helpful with student questions. Take him to get a good grade in Accounting 201. One of the best professors I've had at BSU
Prof. Culp explains the material in a way that makes it simple! His personality made me want to get up and go to class at 9:30 & my respect for him drove me to do well. He cares about his students more than any professor I've had at BSU & knows what he is talking about! Clear cut expectations, homework is for completion, class usually ends early!
Mr. Culp was hands down the best professor that I have ever had at Ball State. I definitely recommend him for this class, he was seriously amazing. The lectures weren't too bad and we got out early a lot of the time. He also writes his own tests, so the material on them is actually what you learned in class, not what the book tests say.
I had problems focusing&understanding the material, but he really helped me through the semester. He was there for me every step of the way. Always happy to explain things after class&always positive. I've never felt more recognized by a prof - I wasn't just another student. Great guy, enthusiastic&he really cares. Went from F to B+ .
Mr. Culp was by far the best teacher that I have ever had thus far in my educational career. He made accounting interesting and fun, and if he taught any other classes I would absolutely take them with him. He is by far the best teacher that I have had at Ball State.
He's a really likable guy who tells a lot of good stories. He's passionate about his subject and seems to really like getting to know his students and seeing them learn. He's great at simplifying hard concepts and it makes the class super easy and more interesting than you expect. Definitely take this guy for a class if you have the chance.
Mr. Culp was my favorite teacher I have had at Ball State to date. He inspired me to pursue a degree in accounting. I never missed a class and I learned so much from him. He does a great job including his own experience in his lectures and his homework assignments are actually very informative.
THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD. He is the reason I chose to be an accounting major. Class is easy, and the class before the exam he tells you exactly what you need to know to prepare for it.
His class isn't that hard as long as you show up and pay attention to the classes. Some people might not like his stories but I do.
I never read the book. I just showed up to class and did the homework. To ace the tests, go over your homework carefully. Then, it'll be an easy A.
He provides good slides for notes, but there's a lot of vocab as well. Overall, it's a pretty decent course-load. But he uses McGraw Hill Connect, which makes the homework and stuff easy to follow.
Professor Culp is easily the best professor you'll find in the accounting department. Before every exam he has a review session where he'll tell you everything that will be on it. Homework is light and he'll give you full credit as long as you complete it. He has a lot of real world experience and his stories are the best part of the course.
I do not reccomend you take this class online at all. It is difficult and you have to teach yourself everything. Unless you want a bad grade, I suggest you take his in person classes. He provides notes and slides, but it does not help with doing the actual test.
Mr. Culp cares a lot about his students and is very understanding. He shares many stories about real life experiences relating to accounting. His tests are a bit difficult but he goes over them before and if you study your homework well you should do fine.
Professor Culp is the BEST! He is very caring and very helpful. He tells you what you need to know for the tests and you get to pick the questions for the final. He makes the class interesting and fun. I have never had a better college professor!
He's a great guy. A true grandpa. Cares a great deal about whether his students are succeeding or not. Tries to keep things lively and funny. Sometimes he'll go on tangents about his life and how it (mostly) relates. I liked the stories, and it didn't detract from the material at all. If you need accounting, take him.
Culp is the best possible professor I could've asked for. He's funny, and does funny things to help you remember lessons. He cares about his students success and tries to make relationships with them. He knew none of wanted to be there at 8am, so he made the most of it! you won't regret taking his class!
Great teacher and seems like a great guy. Tells funny stories that usually relate to class. Mrs. Culp is such an enigma I have to meet her. Explains concepts fast enough to get through, yet slow enough for the whole class to grasp. Ask questions and you will be answered. Homework is through connect, which is nice. Offered 10 extra credit points.
This professor is wants to relate you, and even though it is accounting, he understands that accounting can be boring, so he tries to make as enjoyable as possible, one the best professor I've ever had.
Show up to class and take detailed notes. Dont be afraid to ask for extra examples in class; he doesnt always thoroughly explain things the first time. He always tells you exactly what is going to be on tests. Just practice problems in the book and do the homework and you will be fine. He wants everyone to pass.
Culp makes the math understandable (it's basic math, so don't sweat it) and the lectures interesting. He uses the textbook in class, so have a paper copy or bring your laptop. He will indicate what topics you need to study before each exam, and rarely has surprise questions. Extra credit is available if you go to accounting club meetings.
Do not take an online class with him. He tries to scare you into taking the course in person, however, that is not an option for some. The material and tests are not difficult, but he does not have a full grasp of online technologies, and will not make his documents Mac compatible.
He's very easy going, but make sure you go to class. If you go and just pay attention you should be alright. Do all of the hw and make sure to write down everything he does on review day and do examples of those to study and that will help you get a good grade on the exams. If you ask him questions during tests he'll lead you to the answers
Professor Culp provides little feedback on tests and homework even when you ask for help. In the online class, you basically teach yourself everything. He does not know how to use tech very well and takes a while to respond to emails. I had to work super hard to even get a B.
Professor Culp tries to make accounting fun and he likes to have some participation in class. He cares about his students and he will help you whenever needed. Ask questions if you have them because he loves to answer them!!
Even having this class as an 8am I did not dread going to it. Prof Culp makes accounting much more interesting and fun, he is always willing to help out his students, take advantage of this during tests ask him questions hell lead you to the answer or closer than you were before. Make sure you attend his class he takes attendance everyday.
Great professor. Really fun to take his class.
100% take Culp's class in person. He's really nice and only teaches you what you need to learn for the tests. Our final involved us picking the topics the questions would be over, and he would go over (precisely) what would be on each exam. Really nice guy overall, just tends to talk a bit too much about his own life/experiences as an accountant.
Culp is an great professor and I highly recommend taking his class. The workload mostly consists of easy online assignments. He lets you know exactly what is going to be on the exams. He also offers extra credit for attending the accounting club meetings. He makes class interesting and actually made me decide to change my major to accounting!
I struggled in the beginning but did my best and always showed up, but struggling early gave me a challenge to catch up, i ended with a few point from passing but without asking, he gave me the points needed to pass, hes a good man, definitely take his class
Really funny and just a good person and an even better professor. He deserves the very best students and thanks us for staying in his class and not dropping out. He wants us to succeed at a higher level and I am going to hate not having him for ACC 202.
Professor Culp was the best professor that I have ever had. Hes very sweet and he is 100% worth having an early morning class for. His lectures are amazing and he always tells us stories about his life and his accounting experience before coming to Ball State.
Mr. Culp was a very caring and funny professor. He told stories every class which kept it entertaining. Tests are like what you do in class. Requires purchase of textbook. Homework is through textbook and due every week. I would recommend taking him for accounting he explains things easily.
Mr. Culp was an awesome teacher and I really wish I could take a class with him again. He brought accounting to life and I had fun in his class, which was an 8am so it is impressive that I enjoyed this class.
Prof Culp is a great professor. I would highly recommend taking him. The class has homework every week and a few tests. Easy A or B if you show up and actually try. Ask him questions during the exam and he will help you get on the right track for the answer.
