Makes it easy!
Go to class and get an A
Nice guy, if you ask for one on one help before tests he is very helpful in those .... our class bombed one of the four tests so he dropped the lowest of your 4 tests for us
it's not that he's a bad teacher or anything... he is just SOOOOO BORING... I would suggest you take another teacher, I should've listened to others, please listen to me
Bob is a great professor with a lot of Acct knowledge. Makes the exams almost too easy. Attendance is not mandatory but going to class will give you a good grade. Thanks Prof Kasmir
If you absolutely HATE accounting this is you GUY want to take for ACCT 202. He will absolutely make you fall in love with accounting! He explains everything so clearly in class that I almost never had to open my book. Just go to class and you will be fine. He provides all the notes you need to get an A in the course. Good luck!
This guy is as good as it gets. its like accounting for dummies and the most complex beginner acct becomes your daily bread.
Easy A!
Dude is the man, easy class, don't learn much but you will get an A if you show up and listen.
favorite accounting prof. emphasizes real world acct methods covered in book and makes hard stuff easy. tests are a little abstract, but if you can do homeworks 100% you can manage to get an A on tests. very nice guy and will help you no matter what. very down to earth guy. demphasizes some textual concepts, so you might miss out on those for CPA.
Lately it seems as though only extremists post on this site. They're either a little too smart or dumb. Kasimir is the epitome of an "EXCELLENT COLLEGE PROFESSOR" no multiple choice nor is there extra credit so its not a "give me" class, however he explains the material extremely well.Overall you come to class and LISTEN and STUDY you'll be fine
I just felt like he didn't care. He doesn't grade the homework, the lectures are very routined, the tests were poorly worded and obviously written at the last minute. On the up side, he is a very nice guy, and will be willing to help you with any problems.
Very helpful. I have come to his office hours for help and with his help I'm getting a A-.You need to study and do the home work to get a good grade.The exams are problems not multiple choice. I'm going to take hime for accounting 303. He is very good and cares for the students. I have learned a great deal and thabk him for his dedication.
This class is really boring and to be honest, I never go because attendance isn't mandatory. But he is really nice, and gives you a lot of really helpful exercises that help you learn the material. I have a C+ in the class, but that's because I'm lazy. If you make a good effort, you'll easily get an A. Take Bob if you absolutely need accounting!
He's a great professor, very knowledgeable! Absolutly the best choice for acct classes. He's very helpful, explain everything very clear, and always trys to help you with any acct problems. I really love and enjoy his class!
NOT EASY!!! U HAVE 2 STUDY...however if you pay attention, work hard, do homework, take notes, you'll be ok...thats a lot better than some of the other "cough cough" acct. professors in towson
Very nice and helpful guy. His teaching style is straightforward. As long as you do the problems he assigns and master them, you will be fine on his exams.
Great teacher that really cares about the students. He's hard but knows his stuff and a great teacher.I recommend him highly and plan to take upper level accounting courses with him.
The class is super boring, but the tests are easy. There's one research paper due at the end of the term. You can get away with missing a lot of class and still do well.
Very helpful and caring professor. His lectures are not very exciting but that is the subject matter. He goes over the subject and I'm glad to have taken this class with him. I recommend him if you are willing to work and learn.
Great handouts that help learn the material. Tests are fair. There are 5 exams. Know and do all homework and come to class and you will master this class. The professor is a nice guy and very helpful. Take him.
Kasmir is an excellent teacher. I like how he explains the material. The tests are problem based instead of multiple choice or short answer. He lets you know the types of problems you need to know for the test. If you study everyone should get A's on his tests. Youtube him and you will find a funny clip.
He speaks quietly and is monotone. Class follows the book pretty strictly. If you understand the book you will do well in the class. Tests are 3 problems that mimic the problems at the end of each chapter. 3 tests and a final. No reason not to get an A in this class. Attendance doesnt hurt your grade but he assigns&collects hw in class
Hands down the best accounting teacher at Towson! If only he taught all the accounting courses. Super easy. Heck, you don't even need to read the textbook that much because he gives excellent note sets. Tests are 2 problems based on the homework problems. Extremely helpful outside class and will help you on anything you need. Highly Recommended
the best accounting teacher i have ever had has an easier grading scale an 80 is a B not B- was very helpful as long as you do the work you can easily get a B or higher the only downfall is his class is very boring but if u listen to what will be on the test you will do great
Awesome professor, his lectures are dull as anything, but his tests are easy- all HW based problems. He makes sure you have the core concept of how to solve a problem and thats it, doesn't add any trick questions. No curve, but if you do the HW's you shouldn't need it.
I take this course in summer and have no time to review since I have 2 finals on the same day. Relatively easy exams as all problems coming from HW. Boring class, he just reads the slides and explains HW in class, I think you may need more to learn for CPA. But if you want to improve your GPA, he is a good choice
Dull lectures but very helpful when it comes to homework. His tests are very easy, only two problems based on the hw u did. If u do the hw problems, there's no way u will fail!
Lectures are dull, as with any accounting course. The best classes to go to are the ones where he goes over the homework; but make sure you do it prior to class or it won't be helpful! If you do the homework and clarify where you made a mistake the exams will be super easy!
Do not take this class once a week. I took it as a night class and easily forgot everything we had done the previous week. Overall, his lectures are so boring, but his exams are only one problem that you have to solve. Good guy
Prof is nice and helpful. Subject is a bit tough, but if you do the hw you'll be fine. Take him
Do not take a once-a-week class with him! I took a 3 hour night class! It just makes accounting even more boring. He is helpful if you ask questions. Take advantage of the practice workbook that comes with the textbook. His exams are not hard but if you are new to acct you will need to study a lot. Going to class with him is not enough
best accounting professor hands down. hes worth taking even if it means a friday class. he doesnt take attendance so most people didn't come on fridays. the homework problems are practically the same as the exam so go to class when he goes over the homework and youll easily get A's on the exams. i'd take him again if i could.
I'll just say it.. the lectures are super dull! However, the class is easy. Attendance not mandatory. Puts the homework solutions on blackboard to help you study. Tests are very similar to homework. Nice guy and very laid back in following the schedule. Definitely take him if you need to take this class, he makes it easy.
Went to office hours and help me make this a success. He is a great teacher and cares about you learning accounting. I will take him for managerial accounting.
Lectures are boring but overall he is a great teacher. Willing to answer questions and very helpful if you need him. Tests every 2 chapters. If you do the homework, you'll do fine in the class. Take him!
Great professor. He teaches you what you need to do good on the test. 5 tests count 14% each with the other 5% being from homework. His tests are easy if you do the homework.
He is EXTREMELY helpful. I always went to his office or emailed him for help w no issues. The course is tricky for me bc im bad at acct but he made it as clear as anyone else did. Lectures are boring but overall I would take him.
Accounting is not an easy subject, no matter the professor, but Kasmir makes the course as easy as possible. Show up, pay attention and you will do fine
Professor Kasmir cancelled so many classes I lost track. With that being said, I recommend printing out the powerpoints for each chapter ahead of time because he goes through them too fast to take notes. Listen to what he says is on exams because I over-studied. His exams are so easy as long as you study exactly what he says is going to be on it.
Comes off as a very boring professor, but accounting is a boring subject to start with. His tests are easy if you study exactly what he tells you. DONT over-study.. it will only hurt you. Attendance not mandatory. Do homework and study powerpoints for the tests and you will be golden. Take him!
Not a true teacher at all. His classes are boring and reads directly from the PowerPoint slides. You need to do the homework or else you fail. He gives you two problems on every test and has his own grading system. If your looking to miss every class except for exams this is the class for you. He is not easy in the slightest must do work on yr own.
Very helpful professor. He was in the hospital for a week. I emailed him questions and he was able to help me via email while sick. I recommend him for all. He goes over power points that are very helpful for my success in this course.
Very helpful and nice guy
The best accounting professor. He teaches what is important and it is some what interesting for accounting. I recommend him. Just do the homework and stay up to date and you will get a good grade.
I can't stress enough how awesome this guy is. I HATE accounting. Classes are SO boring-he's a relaxed guy-gives you EXACTLY what you need to know. I did no HW, went to a total of 10 classes combined (201-202) and got nothing but A's. Attempt the hardest homework problems before exams because those same type of questions will reappear. Take him!
The tests are not multiple choice. Classes are spent going over PowerPoints and graded homeworks. You do have to study and do the homeworks because its the exact same as the test just different numbers. He grades tests with letters and not numbers.
Please go to his office hours for help. He cares and wants all to be successful.
Very caring professor who wants you to have success.
Test are usually just one or two problems. Class is boring. Collects and grades homework's. Grades with letter grades and not numbers. Caring and understanding.
Monotonous. Boring lectures. Homework once per week. Tests are hard. Only 5 tests that consist each of 2 problems he makes you work in 50 mins.
His grading policy and how he grades tests is unclear, and will take off points from tests that will make no sense until you really reexamine the test. He's not great with the partial credit . As far as accounting goes, he was pretty good, and he tried to make the 8 am class tolerable, but his teaching just needs a little tweaking.
Prof Kasmir is a really nice guy. He can be dry and boring but he teaches you what you need to know. His tests are exactly like the home works which makes them worth doing. Class usually gets let out early also which is nice. Take him.
Very helpful during office hours. Wants all students to do well. He urged me to come to office hours for extra help. He is a knowledgeable and cares for student be successful.
I failed my first test in this course and thought I would never pass another one. The remainder 4 exams I passed with an A! I hardly ever did any of the homeworks and still managed to get a B+ in the class. I will say that understanding the homework is key though because it's the same as the test. Tests are usually 2-3 questions. I would take again
Professor Kasmir comes off as kind of boring but he is actually a real nice guy. Class got canceled frequently and most classes ended early. He collects the homework but doesn't give you a grade for it. If you do the homework you'll be more than prepared for the tests. Tests are only 2 questions. Overall its a fairly easy class.
At the beginning of the course I felt like there was no way I could get through the class. By the end I discovered that doing the homework and reviewing it multiple times almost guaranteed you an A on his tests (as long as you understood the homework material). He canceled class a lot and most of the time it wouldn't last more than 25 minutes!
Kasmir is a wonderful professor! If you're an acct major looking for a solid base, TAKE HIM. Theres only 5 exams, which you will guarantee do well on, as long as you do the homework. He's very helpful and doesn't move on until everyone gets the main idea. Class always let out early! Honestly, the best accounting professor i've had so far :)
So I'm an accounting major. I read the reviews on here for Professor Kasmir and that's why I decided to take the class. He's not inspirational and lectures are not amazing (he follows a PowerPoint all class and then does problem sets), but he is fair. I think the grading on exams are a little harsh sometimes, but it can go either way. Know stuff.
Great professor. I am an accounting major and he mentored me. Without his help I would have gotten a D or F. I came to his office at 7:00 am two days a week for his help. Thank you for your assistance.
Nice guy overall however it's really hard to get an A in this class. The whole class consists of 5 tests each worth 19% and homeworks are only 5%. Tests are only 2 questions!! Although he is nice, I found this class to be really challenging and would not reccomend this professor at all. Save your GPA!
Kasmir's lectures aren't very helpful, but his tests are fairly easy if you know what you're doing. He sometimes lets class out early. He's available during his office hours, but if you're really stumped drop by the Academic Achievement Center in theLibrary (5th floor), and request a tutoring session. They really do help!!!
He was a cool professor lectures were pretty dull. Definitely have to spend time out of class and teach yourself/review the material. The exams were 2 questions, he's not so harsh with grading. If you practice the homework problems on your own then you'll be fine on the exams.
Very good teacher, easy class. Test are very straightforward and he grades easy.
Really good guy. Unfortunately, his class is pretty boring. He collects hw assignments and 5 tests.
He averages five tests to come up with a grade and then says the department exam and homework can boost your final grade if need be. However, he is never clear as to how that works, and this vague grading policy can result in a grade a half-letter lower than expected. That being said, if you're just looking to pass ACCT 202, this is easy enough.
Professor Kasmir is a very nice guy,he goes over the material well and will answer any questions you have if you are confused. If you understand the HW, you will pass the tests which consist of 2 questions (you take one after ever 2 chapters). Don't hesitate to ask questions! Sometimes he has review a class before the exam, take advantage of this!
Was required to take acct202 for my minor. I'm not good with numbers, but Prof Kasmir tries to make things easy for you. Should've failed the course, but he passed me with a 70. Just show up and try in the class.
Kasmir seems like a really sweet guy, and I do think he cares about his students. But he is a god awful professor. He used Pearson PowerPoints and spoke straight from them, and when asked to explain, he didn't make sense. You'll have to read the chapter and figure it out for yourself.
Professor Kasmir was an excellent professor. The PowerPoint reviews were excellent and helped me with the chapter readings and problems. In addition, PriKasmir helped me during his office hours. I strongly recommend him, but beware lots of homework problems.
Very helpful. If you have questions not answered in class see him during office hours. He helped my through accounting 341.
If you like to study on your own, Take him. He goes over a powerpoint one class then hw next class. Night class always gets out hour or two hours early. He curves his exams by 15 points, but they're hard. You must know how to apply the material. First exam was written, rest of MCQ. He is easy to reach outside of the class. Attendance is req.
He isn't very good at explaining things. He goes over powerpoints and his voice is very soft so its hard to hear him sometimes. You are better off reading the chapter a few times and you will understand better than his lectures. At least he curves...
Very good Professor. Teaches Accounting 341 like a he lives the course
Very hard and fair. Learned a lot Great teacher Go to his office hours for help. Great teacher
he has a soft voice and is monotone and if youre not focused in class youre going to be lost. if he says something you dont understand just raise your hand, hes willing to answer.
Very easy class, literally goes over all the homework problems. There is a lot of homework but he gives you a dozen attempts and there are videos explaining how to do them all. He is very helpful with any questions you may have. Tests are a little difficult so you need to study.
goes over all homework problems during class, and the homework itself is really easy because it gives you vids on how to complete each problem. a few tests, easy A's with the help of my friend google. i honestly just join class and do whatever during it.
I dont even have words for this professor He is nice, but kindness only goes SO far. This man cannot teach! He knows his stuff, but doesn't deliver it to us well. He made us take 2 exams as the final exam: one is the department exam and the other was exam 4. WHY WAS IT WORTH 40% of our overall exam grade?! No formula sheet or nothing. Gobsmacked.
Have an absolutely phenomenal understanding of accounting and you can teach yourself everything? take this class. However, every class was 30 minutes of him reading the McGraw hill PowerPoint or him going over the hw that was already due at the start of class. There is no teaching in this class. The hw also does not match the test
If you don't have a solid understanding of accounting do not count on this professor to be of any help. He just reads off the slides and barely explains things when you ask questions. He also made the 2 final exams worth 80% of your overall grade, and also has different grading criteria for everyone.
You will basically be teaching yourself. He goes over HW answers, but you don't really learn from it. I failed 2/5 tests, the rest being Bs and Cs. I did all my homework on time and got 100% so he bumped my C to a B. I got lucky with that one, but beware if you aren't fluent in ACCT. He's not much help as a teacher.
every class we go over homework problems, and he just reads off powerpoint slides the whole time. def need to study A LOT outside of class, 5 exams all multiple choice but not easy. exams were curved, no open note exam. drags class on with PP slides the whole time and is very hard to pay attention. very nice person though and go to office hours
Go to his office hours. He gave me great guidance and help.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! He speaks like there is something stuck in his throat. He does not care about the students. I failed my first exam and he made a joke about it. You will not learn anything and you may have to teach yourself the whole semester. Awful.
DO NOT TAKE PROFESSOR KASMIR. Please just do not, I took him as he has quite high ratings, but I can't believe how he got this high ratings. Anyone can just read off the powerpoint slides, so what's the point in being a professor then? Just an absurd waste of money, I am glad another professor took over his class and saved my grade.
Professor Kasmir is a very low-toned individual. He is not very good at teaching accounting. I struggled in his class just like many others. If you have the option to take another professor, please do so because Professor Kasmir is one of the worst professors I have had during my college experience.
Do not take him. His ratings are lies. Im in his 201 class and seems like everyone in the class has no idea what is going on. Im sure most people failed exams because of his poor skills. He doesn't make sense a-lot and just goes over slides and homework. This is a waste of money simply. I wont be surprised if most people fail this class.
If you are struggling, try and talk to him and he will be very caring if you actually take the time to speak to him in person. However, this class is extremely hard. He reads off slides the entire class, so it's kind of impossible to pay attention. If you have the opportunity to take a different accounting professor, I strongly advise you to do so.
If you are taking accounting, DO NOT TAKE professor Kasmir. He makes the class boring and very confusing. I am surprised he is a professor. He doesn't have any teaching skills whatsoever. He has his students taking TWO tests on the same day! He is very boring and all he does is go over lecture slides and homework that do not help.
Before this semester I looked here for ratings. COMPLETELY a LIE. He is hands down the worst professor IVE HAD in my college career. DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN. TRUST ME. Seems like he been doing this for years. His grading is terrible. EVERYONE IN THE CLASS DOES NOT KNOW WHATS GOING ON. READS OFF SLIDES, doesn't teach well. DONT TAKE HIM.
DO NOT TAKE! This class is one of the worst classes I have ever taken in my college career. He is very boring and all he does is go over slides. Does not help at all. And test are 75% of your grade. I did not pass this class and a lot of people in that class didn't pass. If you can take another Acct class Do IT. Anything is better than this class.
This is a horrible class. Do NOT Take this class. Professor Kasmir is not a good teacher and seems like he is just there for a check. His grading criteria literally makes people fail. His lectures are not good and you will fall asleep in his class. (That's how boring he is) Do not take at all.
Just don't take him. He frequently lets you out of class 20-40 mins early after reading off of the ppt slides. He will waste class time by going over the hw that was due before class. He gives 3 tests and a department assessment. I did not learn anything from him and he tanked my GPA.
He is a nice guy, but not a great professor. 4 exams worth 65% of your grade. 1 exam has only 10 questions so for every question you get wrong that's about 1.6 points off your entire grade. He doesn't really teach, so you have to review by yourself a lot. Not the absolute worst, but not great either.
Truly one of the worst professors I've had in my academic career. He doesn't teach, but rather reads the slides and reviews the homework. You will mostly have to teach yourself the material, using the SmartBook and homework to make sure you understand the concepts. His exams are awful, and he usually has to curve them by 10 points or more.
I was skeptical of taking this prof because of the reviews, but if you actually pay attention in class and understand the material then you'll be fine! He takes a whole class to go over the hw but he actually explains how to do it and is open to questions. he was vague about what was on exams but if you how to do the hw then you'll be good!
Professor Kasmir is easily accessible outside of class time. Responds to emails quickly. Encourages meeting with him during his office hours if you need help. Lots of homework each worth 100 pts but goes over the homework questions in class. PPTs accessible on Bb. Three exams worth 100 pts. Final & accounting assessment worth 65% of course grade.
Professor Kasmir's class can be challenging, but using resources like Unstuck ai alongside the textbook can help you stay on top of the material. Attend lectures and office hours to get the most out of this class.
