Great teacher. He actually takes time to teach. The class is easy for an accounting class, but only because he's a good teacher.

Made everything very easy to learn, and remember.

Hard tests, grades tough too

Very difficult teacher

I like his style of teaching. His notes are very clear and easy to understand. His tests are difficult so make sure you study hard!

If you take AIF, taking it from Rodney is a MUST. GTA's just can't teach as well as him, plus he writes the tests so he knows exactly what will be on it.

Can tell he cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Very difficult tests, but just study the packet, homework, and quizzes. Best acctg teacher I've had.

good teacher

Rodney is a good professor that you'll learn alot from BUT you'll definately have to work hard for it.

great teacher

Rodney is such a great teacher! He is very helpful and funny. He complained about not being rated very high in the "hotness" category during class so I thought I would help out his rating a little. haha

Rodney's a great teacher, you will have to work hard but you will learn a lot.

I thought AIF would be more difficult than ABO, but it isn't. Rodney is a great professor. He tells you exactly what you need to study and is very helpful. Attendance is only slightly mandatory, but it's a good idea to attend every class so you don't get behind.

It took me until after the first test to get used to his teaching style but I grew to like him. Like these other comments say, you will definitely have to work for the grade you want.

Pretty straightforward and easy teacher!

He's helpful! It takes time to get used to his teaching style and tests! Tests are fair game. He tells what you need to study for the tests. you don't need to study a lot from the textbook. His tests mostly come from the notes and packets!

Great teacher. Knows his stuff and tries to throw in a little humor. Overall very effective teacher.

Difficult class if you get behind. Explains things pretty well. Would defiantly recommend this teacher.

Rodney is the man. He's pretty funny if you're into dry humor. His classes go by pretty quickly, and I took the 8 week course. He offers plenty of help--but his tests are very difficult. You have to study, and many times over study, to make sure that you have all of the material--but it's straight from his pre-written notes.

He is a decent Teacher. You do have to learn some things on your own and he expects you to be pretty good at the stuff you've already learned in ABO and AIF. Lectures are short and not much homework. Be prepared for the tests and know what you are doing and you will get a good grade.

He really knows his subject. His notes are easy to follow and he's always willing to help a student if they have questions.

331 is a difficult class but I definitely recommend taking it with Rodney. He makes sure you know what the important material is and doesn't waste your time with busy hw assignments. Most of your grade comes from the 6 exams (plus final) but he shows you how to study for them. He is interested in his students' success and is a great teacher!

Rodney is a great teacher. Probably one of my top 2 at K-State as I'm finishing my junior year. The fact of the matter is for most business majors, Accounting is one of those classes you just have to get the B/C in and move on. But he always is willing to help, you always get out of class early, and his dry sense of humor makes going to class fun.

Rodney Vogt is by far one of my favorite accounting professors at KSU. His style of teaching is very straightforward and he never tests over anything that hasn't been discussed in the lectures. He can be intimidating at first, but he is a very nice person once you get to know him.

As long as you pay attention in class and take advantage of the classwork time you should be fine. I loved his teaching style because instead of just showing you how to do things and lecturing, he devoted a lot of class time to review and working through problems. He is also very straightforward about what will and will not be on the exams.

RODNEY IS THE BEST. If you take his class seriously, then you'll enjoy the material and Rodney as a person. His humor is very very dry, which I loved. You'll get out of class early most days, as he allows you to leave once you get an answer correct to a problem. Took me a little bit to get used to the organization, but I enjoyed his class a lot!!

A lot of people have a bad view of Rodney, and I can understand that. I took his night class which was a 9 week class and I loved it. Rodney has a teaching style where it's impossible to not learn what he's teaching. If you participate in his style of teaching, you will get a good grade. I HIGHLY suggest his 9 week class!

His tests can be tough because there isn't enough time to work slowly on the problems. As a teacher he gives you the tools to learn but doesn't directly show you how to work things. It is effective, but you have to come to class ready to learn. This class isn't a cakewalk, but if you put forth effort an A is achievable. Would take Vogt again.

I took Vogt for 241 and 331. Got an A in 241 and ended up with a B in 331 but put in a TON of study hours for this class. There are several professors that teach 331, but I definitely think Vogt is the best option. In my opinion, 331 is so difficult due to the shear volume of material that they are required to cover. Glad it's over, good luck!

Easily one of the best teachers in the Business School if not the University. If you have no interest in Finance or Accounting or you're a straight A student in an easy major you'll hate his classes. If you show up and pay attention and ask questions you'll be just fine. He does require you to have solid understanding of previous classes.

Rodney is a tough professor, but I have never learned as much in my life. He pushes his students and is very accessible out of class and is happy to help any of his students out. You have to put in a lot of work, but you can tell he wants all of his students to succeed farther than just the course. Great teacher

Financial Statement Analysis is a very interesting class and Rodney makes this a fun and easy class. You are only graded on a few tests and assignments but they are easy if you study and pay attention. Would recommend this class to anyone majoring in finance or accounting.

This is a very tough class and you have to put in a lot of work outside of class to do well. Charland also teaches the course but Rodney is definitely the easier option of the two. You have to practice the recommended problems on the syllabus outside of class if you want to do well.

For reference, I took Rodney's 8-week 241 class. Rodney is an AMAZING teacher. Willing to help you outside of class and is pretty humorous. During class he would have you pull out a piece of paper and quiz you (not graded). I used this as a form of study guide - as most of it was tested. I've never studied more for a class, but worth it in the end

Rodney is by far my favorite teacher I've had during my time at K-State. I took him for both 241 and 331 and you will not find a teacher that is more invested in his students. 331 is extremely difficult but it's clear he cares about every student's success. One of the best in my opinion, I just wish he taught more classes for the accounting dept.

Rodney is a great teacher but his dryness throws non-accounting people off. He explains it in a more simple way than the book. Read the book and do the problems before we do them in class because they are not for a grade and help you learn the material. No real homework and 5 tests. I thought the class was easy if you study. #ILoveRodneyVogt

If you're shocked that I'm giving Rodney I great review, then I'm shocked.

Best teacher I've had at kstate hands down. I want to take 331 just so I can have rodney as a teacher again

One of the nicest professors at K-State. I would recommend taking him for 331 if you took 241 with him. If you did not take 241 under Rodney you might want to try a different professor as it takes a while to get used to his teaching style. Overall, each test requires a lot of studying but the material is not too difficult.

Best professor I've had. THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS UTTER FAILURE AND WE FIX IT. If you're shocked, I'm shocked.

Rodney is AMAZING! He makes you work during class, which means you do less homework and less cramming for exams. He cares about K-State students and teaches the RIGHT way. Study for exams and you'll be fine! I am not an accounting major, but I paid attention in class and did well. Hard to find professors like Rodney Vogt. -ps this was during COVID

Accounting is going to be tough with anyone you take, but Rodney is a good professor to take it with. He provides his own examples for key points for the exam, and is very thorough. If you go to class, you'll better understand his thought process, and the tests will be easy. If you don't, it can be challenging to go from the textbook to his tests.

If you took his 241 class, this class will be fairly straightforward and simple. He's a good professor. I'd watch out for the third exam, it's probably the most difficult.

He's not easy and I get why people don't like this class but if you allow him, he will be one of the best teachers you'll get. Bottom line if you want easy take someone else if you actually want to really understand the concepts being taught take Rodney.

Be ready to study for the tests; they are hard. During lectures he only hits the high points and expects you to read the book and do the practice problems in the WileyPLUS book. He makes sure to give time during class to practice on some of the more difficult concepts. Do not consider Professor Charland for 331; take it with Vogt.

My all time favorite professor. He's very clear in his notes. He will mention over and over again what will be on the exam. His practice problems and homework are very similar to the exams. The exams aren't hard if you attend class and comprehend the material. Overall such a great guy and his dry humor is hilarious.

This class is completely different than any of the others taught by Mr. Vogt. In 445, the tests are open note and the lab assignments are done in class nearly every Thursday. Highly recommend.
