He heavily depends on quizzes, which are not that easy. He is will be helpful if you reach out for him.
One of the best professors, and he is very knowledgeable and understanding about students requirements.
heavy rely on quizzes, use language to those who dont understand that sometimes could be disrespectul such as : the intelligent ones , or "use your head".. environment where you dont feel comfort to make mistakes. Hes helpful when you reach could use tools to explain the subjects , like a board online change the time of classes without consulting
Even if you work 50% with some basics clear, you will get good grades with this professor.
He is one of lectures, who makes a genuine attempt to ensure that the students get what he teaches. Make Accounting subject to its simplest way to explain. Also gives clear guidance on what to do on a weekly basis. But make sure to read the course prior to the class for better understanding.
One of the best teacher.
Awesome lecturer, explains the theories in a simple way and well organized structure. Friendly, so we can clarify the doubts and issues.
Best for Accounting. Try to teach everyone in the class.
He is an excellent professor. I not coming from an accounting background yet can do it. His's quizzes are simple and easy.
One of the best lecturers I have eve had. He makes his lectures interesting by adding real life examples and explains in simple terms. Methodical and organized. Dates are fixed and he gives a heads up. That makes our lives easy to plan. Reasonable grader and open for discussions.
For Learning the subject this professor is good. For marks - tough marker. You have to follow rubrics strictly to get marks. Quiz on class is in computer. He runs to every corner and looks into every ones computer for cheating through out the quiz.
Tough professor , one must have to study to pass this course.
He is best in his field and teaches really great. Believe me, Accounting will not look like accounting with him as he makes it so easy to understand concepts.
This semester, I had the pleasure of being taught by an outstanding accounting professor. His teaching technique was both informative and entertaining.. I found it to be a delightful and rewarding learning experience, and I would strongly suggest this professor to anyone seeking a sound accounting background.
nothing just dont take him
If I have to choose a professor for whole life , he is the one ..
Save yourself
Cool professor. He teaches in-depth concepts, and students with non-accounting backgrounds can easily understand his lectures. His quizzes are accessible but tricky, so one must read the question perfectly. He answers all the emails and is available whenever a student needs him to solve queries. You can take him by closing your eyes.
let me explain, 3 in-class quiz(he constantly move around), 1 individual assignment(in-class assignment) 1 group assignment (he will not permit you to create a WhatsApp group or exchange numbers for discussion). You can choose if you have accounting background or you can do self study.
Surface-level content, simplified lectures due to time constraints. Professor is CPA so is knowlegeable. $105 Wiley book required. 2 open-book case studies, 3 v. tough quizzes. Personal paper notes allowed in quizzes. He's on Teams for guidance. Strict adherence to rubrics for the final report. Prof selects teams. Easy, short discussion posts.
Just dont take him, u'll regret later.
Very very very difficult to pass. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
Difficult to pass. Wont recommend.
Awful, Do not take !!!!!!!
You will regret it. Choose someone else.
His lectures are good, but his assessment and difficulty level is very high.
Difficult professor, difficult classes, difficult tests and difficult grader.
Not good for free riders. If you pay attention in class, the course becomes easy. I had a good experience learning the material and its applicability in the real world. Open book quizzes and in-class assignments. Professor was always flexible with the weekly deadlines.
Save yourself.
As an MBA student you are supposed to be learning accounting or else why would you be doing an MBA? Quizzes are sometimes a bit confusing but, it's an open-book test and is worth 1/3rd of your grade. Individual assignments require time management in class. He is ready to explain until you do understand just that you have to put in some effort.
Not a good professor.
He wants you to be the best in accounts, even if you don't like it. It doesn't work that way. It's difficult to pass.
It hasn't been helpful really to get good grades. Did not show any lenience.
He was good in his first lectures, but then it became difficult to cope with. It's amazing how it goes from good to bad for students.
There is no way one must choose him unless you want to fail.
Won't recommend
Don't go over ratings, just ask about him in the university(by physically meeting former students). I bet everyone will tell you not to take him.
Don't know why he has been chosen as faculty. If you are lucky, he will provide EXTRA CHANCE to you by making Wiley assignments accessible even after final grading. :)
One of the biggest mistake of my life is choosing him. Beware of quizzes
He has a set of principles for not cheating. He only cheats with students by saying friend on the first day and ends up being a typical professor.
You will regret if you take him. Very very very difficult to pass.
Very very Tough grader. Has no idea that not all students are from Accounts background. You won't pass !!! Don't take him.
Very bad experience. If had taken informed decision, i would have avoided.
Take any professor but not this one.
Amazing experience!
Worst professor ever I took. Don't take it.
No prior teaching experience hence you won't understand him. Self study is the key pass this subject if you have already chosen him. WORST.
One of the best professors met at UCW. Helpful and clear guidelines and straightforward in managing free riders. I would recommend him any day.
Passionate faculty at UCW. Always encourage/inspire students to learn and go out of their comfort zone so that we are ready for the real world. Would recommend any one who wants to learn and challenge themselve.
He is best in terms of teaching and give real life examples. Lectures are engaging and participation matters. He is approachable outside class and always ready to help students and resolve queries. If you follow instructions, rubric and put efforts then you can score good. Quizzes and assignments are challenging for some students but interesting.
Not good.
Tough grader and heavy tests in the lecture.
very good!
Generous grader!
He is the best professor. Gives guidance, helpful, approachable even outside class. He is caring and gives you advice how you can improve.Lot of students think he is tough grader, but its not true. He is very generous but only if you put efforts and listen what he says and read carefully. Quizzes can be scored well if you read carefully and focus.
Too good to be true types professor.
very hardd! the quiz also very hard! don't take this prof!
He is not a good prof. Take someone else and help yourself getting passed.
Teaches well. You must attend classes & take full notes (even when he says no notes needed)- so as to pass the tricky proctored in-class quizzes. The individual assignment is also in-class (not take-home)... Please ask someone who took his class how to be ready for individual assignment; otherwise, you'll fail. He'll try to ensure you pass, though.
Nothing to say! Just ok, not so good!
he teaches passionately, if you dont have a accounting background then the course could be tough. Tough grader but I enjoyed and learnt a lot in his classes.
If you want to lose marks go for it
Very passionate. There are three quizzes, one individual assignment, and one group assignment. He is very helpful (even outside of the class). If you follow his instructions and pay attention in the lecture, scoring is not a problem...
I found him to be a fair one... Provides ample time to complete the tasks... Quizzes are tricky (simple if you are proactively engaged in the class; otherwise, god bless you :p)...
One of the best!!
He never supports students. Instead makes their life miserable.
Passionate and very helpful. Very quick with the response. 3 quizzes, 1 assignment, 1 group assignment and weekly tasks- manageable if you pay attention
Not a good professor. Very bad experience with him. He is very difficult.
Non understanding.
Donot take him!!!!!!
"I had the pleasure of learning under Shantu Parmar in my Accounts class, and I can confidently say that his guidance has been invaluable. He has a clear and structured way of explaining complex accounting concepts, making them easy to understand. His teaching style is interactive, engaging, and always encourages us to ask questions."
A big no for this professor as his guidelines are not clear!! Not at all helpful!! Gives super tricky questions in exams!!
Fantastic experience in terms of learning. Very approachable and helpful even when you connect outside of class time.
It is highly recommended if you are scared of accounting. He makes the concept simple and encourages others to participate and leave their comfort zone: three quizzes, two assignments, and weekly homework.
Teaches basics and makes complex exams and quizzes. You will ruin your academic journey and experience with UCW by choosing him.
Very much stressful and way too much work load. No clear guidelines. Very high expectations. He is very difficult.
Waste of time and money. This professor does not answer your questions, he will return the question and you'll end up clueless. No clear discussions. Did not learn anything from this course and professor.
He's the best! Clear grading criteria and participation are needed, and quizzes are tricky, but with effort, they can be scorable.
Not a good professor. Just avoid taking him.
One of the best instructors. I learned a lot about the course & the tips for life in Canada.
No clear grading criteria. No clear guidelines. Really confusing and hectic. You will lose overall GPA if you take him.
Give it a chance; you will learn ample things from him. He provided quizz which was not tricky but simple just try to focus on wiley and you solve them easily and focus on cases too.
Out of all, the only C I've got. One advice: run away!
Interesting course & the lecturer. If you pay attention, marks are easy to score!
Very good professor. Friendly and problem solver.
Just run if you don't like accounting and mathematics.
If you are ready to put in the effort, professor works with you to achieve expected results. Difficulty rating just because his in-class quizzes are mind-twisting. Not for someone who doesn't understand Indian accent.
I had a fantastic experience with the professor. There were a few quizzes, one individual assignment, one group assignment, and weekly homework on Wiley (easy marks). Just avoid AI/cheating, and you should be fine. I learned a lot in addition to the course with him.
Overloaded heavy lectures, out of mind. He speaks a lot
His classes are fun and Average in teaching. 3 quizes open book in class 1 mid term exam case study. 1 individual and 1 group assignment. No OGL
Not a good professor. You will lose gpa and marks if you choose him.
Overall good professor
He is a nice person, but as a teacher not so much. Despite he let us use our sheets notes for quizzes, it's almost impossible have time to search for anything. I have learn some, but it was really hard and even though you try, the grades are not good.
You can easily score an A+ if you watch recorded videos and pay attention in class, realized that a little late hence B+. Good grader, 3 quizzes, bonus Wiley marks, discussions are mostly memos but he doesn't expect you to write too much. Cheating or AI is frowned upon. Overall, his classes are fun and tries his best to make you understand.
The course is time-consuming, but the instructor helps you navigate through it with easy explanations and is always approachable. 3 mind testing quizzes, in-class individual assignment, 1 group assignment and weekly homework. Tip: watch all his recordings, and focus in class.
I highly recommend him if you want to get a high mark easily. Very easy going with everything. Choise him and have a peace of mind! A cool guy in general.
The best prof ever! I got an A and ddint work hard at all. Easy going guy. Highly recoommend him
He is the best 👌
He is a good grader and you easily score A
You can tell he cares about his students and will go out of his way to help if you just ask. He is so pationatet and gets excited talking. His tests are heavy but you get good marks
very confusing teacher very strict
Being never studied accounting in the past, the course was too much but he helped me navigate the course with lots of learning (including soft skills). 3 quizzes, 2 assignments and easy homework.
OGL are videos. His explanations are extremely confusing. Not good if you're a beginner in Accounting.
Good instructor. Cares about students and very helpful.
Very confusing class and not comprehensible. Heavy lectures and no clear grading criteria.
as an non-accounting student, I was damn nervous at the beginning but glad ended with good marks. With him, I think creating a rapport is important and asking for help if you are struggling. He was approachable.
He is difficult to follow. Definitely not a good teacher. This guy maybe knows his stuff but cannot say them?! His classes are FRUSTRATING.
he is a tough grader, stay away from him
School should stay away from students like you. Go home. Deport.
Great prof, glad canada govt is finally kicking out unqualified students. Too many call them selves mba students but are barely even highschool level, go home please.
Go scam somewhere else
He's a really good teacher. You always have to do something in the OGL, but not necessarily during that specific class time; you can choose when to do the homework. The quizzes are easy, and I think his grades are good.
