Professor Akin is awesome. The tests do take up a good chunk of your grade, but he prepares you very well for them. Very little fluff in this class, he gets straight to the point and tells you what you need to know. Chapter quizzes are due every sunday online.

You are given three assignments a week. He does not offer extensions on late homework assignments so be sure to submit your assignments before the due date.

It was a pleasure being in Professor Akinribade's class. Quizzes, homework, and classwork were preset and easily accessible. Accounting is a notes-heavy course and he was kind enough to create and share notes with the students. He was also very understanding and willing to offer make-up when needed.

Dr. Akin is by far the best accounting professor SOB has to offer. Accounting is a boring subject for most, but Dr. Akin did an amazing job teaching the subject in the most straight-forward, no-nonsense way possible. He takes attendance so come to class and be attentive in class, if you lock in while in class, studying for the exams is a breeze.

He is a good teacher and the best in the accounting department.

Overall the class itself is pretty difficult and lecture heavy but Dr. Akin makes it more understandable by going through example problems and connecting the material with real life scenarios. It is important to take lots of notes and study or else you won't do that well on the exams.

This is my second time taking Dr. Akin's course. From my experience, he is a very test-heavy professor. He gives good lectures but tends to slack at the end of the semester. His multiple-choice tests are harder than the regular tests. He doesn't curve, give extra credit, or do online tests (even if other accounting professors do).

This professor is an acquired taste. His class is lecture-heavy, so attendance is crucial. Procrastinators should expect over 4 hours of homework on Sundays.
