I came into the Auditing class not knowing what to expect. Prof. Schochet was just awesome! His lectures are crystal clear and to the point, and are very CPA exam foucsed. Very patient with student questions. His exams are tough, but very fair. Would highly recommend taking his course is you want a solid understanding of auditing!
When i registered for this class i had no idea who this Professor was, that is because he is new and i was on edge! Well people, he is AMAZING! The lectures are very clear, he knows his stuff! He is NOT one of those professors that read the book to you, he has the book in his head lol. My point is, taking him will prepare you to take the CPA!
Great prof, very clear lectures, easy going. Would HIGHLY recommend this course. Prof. Schochet is way ahead of his league. I've taken many courses in Brooklyn College and none of the others came close to the quality of this professor. If you want to know auditing well, take his course! Wish I had more courses with Prof. Schochet.
Clear and concise lectures that prove he's extremely knowledgeable in his field and has the ability to articulate material in a professional but simplified manner.
Very unique style of teaching. Professor Schochet is clearly brilliant, sharp, and whitty. He has an uncanny ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise way. I learned a lot in the course and would highly recommend.
Very good professor over all. He gives detailed explanations during his lectures with real live samples.
I went into Auditing not knowing much about it, but after listening to Prof. Sholom's lectures I learned more about auditing. It also inspired me to try and pursue a career in Auditing in the future.
The course is very difficul, but this proffessor will make it easier for you. He is very knowledgable, so can explain the material in many different ways for student to understand and give various examples. My advise: take him and you won't regret!
Don't have time to write a long review right now (busy with other finals!), but let me just say that you won't regret taking Audintg with Prof. Schochet. He's a no nonsense and straightforward prof who packs complex Auditing concepts into shortish, but super clear lectures. Wish there was more like him in BC! Anyway, best of luck.
He is one of the better professors in Brooklyn College, based off my opinion. Course isn't hard unless you are absent alot. He gives you more than enough opportunities to pass, you just have to do the assignments.
This professor is the BEST! I was supposed to have Professor Langer, but they switched the professor sometime mid-summer. I wasn't sure what to expect, but am SO glad he was teaching the course. Hands down the best accounting professor in Brooklyn College. Takes the time to explain all the material in a very clear in entertaining way!! Recommend!
He teaches you everything you need to know in class. The only problem is the homework...
Prof. Schochet is the man! Clear, no nonsense, straight to the point lectures. Takes time to explain things until perfectly clear. Homework comes from the book. Tests only on the things covered in class, no surprises. If you are interested in accounting and looking to learn from a great prof, take him. One of the best in BC, highly recommended!
My advise: If you are interested in a solid understanding of accounting, take this prof. If you want someone to give you a free pass, take someone else. Prof. Schohcet's lectures are brilliantly structured - you don't want to miss a minute of it. I learned so much about business and accounting from him. Take the course with him if you can!!
Two exams. Homework via Connect. There is quite a bit of homework but the lectures definitely prepare you for it. (You don't want to miss lectures, especially for this type of course.) All in all a most wonderful instructor - interesting, clear, and brilliant. Brooklyn College is lucky to have Prof. Schochet on its staff. Highly recommend.
very prepared. presents material well. would definitely take him again.
I took the course based on others' feedback below and I don't regret it. Everything is accurate. Great lectures, gives amazing insight to each topic, great animated personality. I hope to take him again next semester.
Professor Sholom Schochet is one of the best professor I have ever had. Trust me his lectures are so clear and will help you in future. If you want to learn, this is the class. He gives three exam. 2 midterms and they are 25% each and a final exam which is 30%. 15 % is the homework and attendance. He knows how to respect his students. loved him.
Advanced accounting is a hard course. I was registered for someone else and they ended up switching professors, and I am so glad they did. This is the first time I rate someone on RateMyProfessor but he sure deserves good rating because he's the best professor at Brooklyn College! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I wish i had taken Professor Sholom class the first time i signed up for ACCT2001. I am happy i took his class and i would take any accounting class that he is lecturing.
Great professor. His lectures are well structured and presented, gives exactly what you need to know for the exam, homework via Connect sometimes doesn't reflect the whole chapter though. Does curve. Hopefully I can his Audit class.
Just had my final lecture from Prof. Schochet. Gosh, this guy is amazing! Full of animation and life. Is clearly excited about the materials he's teaching. Everything is so thought out and clear. Very knowledgeable of the most advanced accounting concepts. I would say he's the best prof in Brooklyn College. Wish I had him for my other courses..
Really gives the student independence to work and expects you to be responsible in terms of getting your hw done on your own.
Great course, awesome prof, terrific lectures. There's lots of hw but you'll walk away knowing the materials SOLID. Just take the course seriously and you'll do fine. Proffesor Schochet is very respectful of the students and clearly cares. Brooklyn College is lucky to have him on staff!
He is amazing! One of the best professors I ever had. Accounting is not an easy class. However, professor Schochet made it as clear and interesting as it was possible. He is also very helpful and inspiring. All the information he gives is very useful. He is very well-prepared and knows his subject perfect! I would HIGHLY reccomend! Amazing class!!!
Just great
Great professor! Must go to the lectures, he explains the subject really well and makes it easy to understand the concepts. Exams are fair, if you go to class and do the homework questions he assigns - you will do really well.
In order for me to expedite my graduation date, I opted to take accounting during winter session. While the class was challenging and the time crunch doubled the intensity of information over time, Professor Schochet made the class enjoyable and palatable. His tests are fair and he is eager to help. He truly sets his students up for success.
This class is intense. I took it in the winter session because I had no choice but to and I literally ate, slept and dreamed accounting. The teacher is very lenient and very helpful . The homework was doable and the exams are fine if you do the homework. I would have never passed without professor schochet. Take him you wont regret it.
He's hands down the best professor I have ever come across.
Prof Schochet is great. He explains the material very clearly. Tests are a bit on the difficult side, but if you study properly you'll be fine. The only downside was homework- there was a bit much of it...
The professor was clear and taught what students need in real life experience. It could not have gotten any better
good professor, always willing to help students with any questions about material , teach the class very good and clear. You will get a lot of knowledge from his class and it will help you on CPA exam. Exams are fair and exams are from Homework, Review sheet and material which covered in the class. If you study very hard you will get an A grade.
Great professor! His lectures are clear and understandable. I really recommend to take his classes, it is not hard to pass it.
Professor Schochet is truly a Brooklyn College gem. His lectures are a bit long and he will talk the entire time, but they are very clear and he stops to answer student questions. Homework is plenty but useful for tests. He is very inspirational and not bad to look at for 2 hours!!! I would take him 100 times. He made a hard subject understandable.
Awesome class - Midterm was given before test!!
Took Schochet for Intermediate Accounting, his lectures are very clear, breaks down the material from the textbook in a fun way. There was one midterm and one final with about 10 homeworks in total. Both midterm and final were on Connect and based on the homeworks and lecture notes. Would take him again if I have a chance
Great teaching style, he sticks to the point. If you do the Homework and show up in class there should be no problem to get an A.
The professor was on time, gave examples that relate to real life and motivated us to change our minds towards accounting. I would take this class again and again.
He is an awesome professor, enjoyed his class and learned a lot. He makes the course really interesting and fun.
Amazing professor with ability to express and explain the difficult audit concepts so easy that after listening and making some short notes you understand it pretty deeply. His classes are fun! Never boring and very informative. As far as midterm and final is concerned, you'll have them online and will have a chance to get an extra credit, as well.
one of the best professors i have ever had. I don't think I would want anyone else. He teaches you EVERYTHING you need to know, finished class 3 weeks early, take home test, and no due dates on homeworks. You can't get any better than that. It is an accounting course though so it is challenging by nature but the professor is amazing
He really knows his stuff and is very passionate about accounting. His lectures were very enthusiastic and I probably would not have understood the subject matter as well without him. He explains the broad concepts with some examples but you are on your own with the homework. He is lenient about due dates and truly wants his students to succeed.
right to the point. he used Mc-graw Hill Connect for this course which was terrific. Learned a lot. Can not wait to take another course with him.
This is a great Professor. You will definitely learn a lot in his class.
Professor Schochet is a wonderful accountant and professor. He knows his material well and lectures his materials. There wasnt heavy notetaking as his lectures were very verbal based. I would take him again if he was teaching an upper accounting course!
I took this class as a summer visiting student from Columbia w/ no previous accounting knowledge. Prof. Schochet was superb! He is an extremely clear lecturer and makes accounting interesting! His notes on the board can get messy, but if you pay attention and refer to the textbook, you should be fine. HWs and 2 exams via Connect + a final project.
Great Professor. I really liked this class. Good lectures, all homework and test are online which is a big +. Homework is for each chapter, some takes time to finish , but it helps to understand the material. Gives detailed review for tests. Definitely would take this professor again.
Really nice guy! Online homeworks and exams. Try not to wait until the end to do the homework. Good class overall!
Everything here is true about him from hw, final, midterm, and project. I can agree that what his write in the board is a bit messy and confusion but if you read the textbook which is a summary on what his wrote on the board then the hw and exam are 90% easy. BTW I took him during summer, I expect same thing but much easy during the fall session.
Professor Sholom Schochet is an inspirational interesting teacher. I took his class during the summer time , with no previous accounting knowledge. Professor Schochet makes the class light and easy to understand, he tells amazing stories about the financial world and teaches some fun tricks. Enjoy and good luck.
I am learning tons about fighting fraud in this course. It is totally online and Prof. Schochet assigns weekly quizzes and assignments. It's cool to be taughts by a CFE. The material is straightforward and there are no actual lectures. A great course - once you roll up your sleeves and do the work. Would highly recommend!
great
The man is awesome. Great personality, clearest lectures EVER, cares about the students success would HIGHLY recommend. His courses fill up fast so don't make the mistake of registering late...
Very good, he does the course interesting, he is smarter. He has a good knowledge about accounting and the ability to explain
I learned a lot in this course.
easy A. had homework on connect. (2 tries & counts the highest), midterm and final both on connect. gives us a review sheet that is exactly like the online exam except different numbers.
One of the best and unique professors i have ever had. I don't think I would want anyone else. He teaches you everything you need to know. You can't get any better than that. Accounting course is challenging by nature but the professor is wonderful. I really love his class and his amazing personality. Take him you will not regret. Trust me
35 % Midterm & 40% Final both online, 20% HW, 5% annual project. We used the textbook in class and can help for online exams.
Take his class, you won't regret it. I switched from another prof's class to his (though it was hard on my schedule) because of the reviews I read here and I am SO happy I did! Take my word: There is no one like him in Brooklyn College. Or anywhere in fact. If you are serious about understanding accounting concepts CLEARLY, he's your guy. Awesome!
my first online course but was excellent. Lots of assignments but I learned lots about fraud detection and the prof graded assignments very quickly and was always available by email (he usually answered within a few hours, and sometimes a few minutes!) Would recommend the course for self motivated students but be warned, there are no lectures. gluk
if you majoring in accounting or its just mandatory, take it with him. You wont regret it!!! I learned so much from him. He's very clear, dedicated, and is passionate on what he does. He made accounting seem so easy to understand. I only took one class at this school on epermit and i dont regret it. He cares and he's always available after class
I am currently taking him for winter intersession and it feels like it is a regular pace. I am not feeling any rushing because HE IS JUST THAT AMAZING ! You would be 10x smarter in the real world if you take him because whatever he says WILL stick with you forever ! Everything is online so easy A+ .Review sheets his exams. IDENTICAL QUESTIONS!
Currently retaking Accounting 2001 because i receive a terrible grade and have to make it up. Anyway Prof. Sholom is amazing. His lectures are offers excellent insight, doesn't confuse you and very straight forward. It's never a dull moment. If given the opportunity, i would have him again. I'll definitely recommend students to take him
He is such an amazing professor! Everything is through connect and there are no due dates for the HW assignments. As long as you get them done by the end of the semester you will be fine! The tests are just like the review sheet with different numbers. Give in some time and effort and you are guaranteed an A. Thank You Prof!
Most interesting course. Explains all about the ins and outs of fraud. The course is clearly outlined and you just need to take care of the assignments. invest effort and you'll do well. PRof. Schochet always responds to messages quickly and takes the time to explain things well. He's a prof who actually cares (rare to find these days). Best ever!
very understandable professor, I'm taking him again for another accounting course.
Phenomenal professor, insightful lectures, enjoyable learning experience! Highly organized and engaging, but the main emphasis is on his amazing ability to break down & effectively communicate key concepts to students. Extremely articulate and always ties in relevant information beyond course material. Truly a brilliant gem, highly recommended!!!
One of the greatest professors! attend the class, do your homework (with no due date, but by the end of the course), review according to the printouts he gives before the midterm and the final - A guaranteed!
I can vouch for all the reviews below. Professor Schochet is totally down to earth and approachable. Solid lectures and fair grading policies. Great personality and humor. He is a real gem who cares for the students' success. I hope to take him for the advanced accounting courses as well. Brooklyn College is lucky to have him. Highly recommended!
one of the best professors at brooklyn college. He thoroughly explains the lessons and keeps them interesting. You will not only learn accounting but hell also provide you with relative outside information. homework is all online and very easy but you need to take notes in class in order to do well on the midterm and final. take him!!!
I felt in love with professor Schochet. He is so handsome and interesting that you can listen his lectures all day long, nonstop. He gives you a lot of outsource information and applies to the material that you learn. His eyes make students to attend every single class that he teaches. Definitely recommend to take his classes
TAKE HIM!!!He is the BEST!!!!
Amazing Professor. Interesting lectures
Take him if you see him. He actually knows what he is doing. For once, a professor who knows his material. He is clear and loud in lectures, he's so understandable he relates the topics to some in real life situations so we know. Accounting lectures in general is boring no matter what, but he surely knows how to teach us. Easy grade. TAKE HIM!!!!
Excellent Professor. You'll Learn A Lot In His Class. Excellent Teaching Style And Knows How To Grab A Students Attention. Highly Recommended.
Great professor, lectures keep you interested and you'll actually retain the material. One of my favorite classes this semester.
Great lectures. Very intuitive and applicable to real world scenarios. Connect is mandatory though you wont pass without purchasing it.
The class is virtually online, you just come to class for lecture. If you never come to class you won't know what the hell is going on. He's also super nice and doesn't want you to do bad.
I never leave feedback for teachers but Professor Schochet is a gem so I'll make an exception :) He is passionate about accounting and wants each student to succeed. It is rare to find such an amazing and natural teacher like him. HW is via Connect but it is a breeze after listening to his crisp and clear lectures. Trust me, take him if you can!!!!
Brooklyn College is lucky to have Prof Sholom. He respects the students, is humble, witty and genuine and does everything possible for the students to succeed. Lectures are excellent: clear, interesting and he connects topics to fascinating real life business examples. It is hard to come by a prof like him. As others wrote he really is a rare gem.
Professor Sholom is really nice and understanding, He makes the class really interesting by discussing real life business examples. He's really interesting, and cares about his students. he's enjoyable and witty too at times, He did a few fun tricks that involved magic, He was a great professor from day one.
Professor. Schochet is one of the professors thatdoes his. Job right. He knows exactly what to cover and what to skip. He gives great detail in his lectures That nobody really has any questions in class. He does his humble teaching and cares about teaching right. He is always ready to teach his class. Do his homeworks and show up. You will be glad.
GREAT PROFESSOR! I JUST TOOK HIM FOR THE SUMMER TERM AND I WAS BLESSED TO FIND A PROFESSOR LIKE HIM FOR ACCOUNTINGS. THE CLASS ISN'T EASY OR HARD, YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS AND READ THE BOOK TO UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. HW'S ARE ONLINE SO ARE ALL THE EXAMS. GOT A 93 ON THE MIDTERM HOPING TO GET AN A!!
Great professor, i took the hybrid, in-class - online summer class. He goes off on seemingly unrelated rambles that don't have much to do with the class, but those rambles consist of other invaluable information. Tests are not difficult as long as you do the homework and follow the review sheet carefully. Excellent professor
Best Professor for Accounting at Brooklyn College. His lectures are the best! When he speaks students listen. I took this class in the summer and was amazed at how quickly the time went by and how much I learned in a short period of time. He gives reviews for exams which are awesome! Take him you will be happy you did. He makes learning fun!
The best professor I ever had! Lectures very interesting and understandable. Highly recommend to take his class.
Professor Schochet is the BEST Accounting Professor at Brooklyn college among 6 other Accounting Professors which I had during my education. I had him for two classes: 2001 and 3011. He explains concepts very well. He doesn't read the lectures, they are not boring but very exciting and inspirational. I wish I had him for every Accounting course.
I PRAYED FOR THIS CLASS. GOT AN EASY A+. Class not hard just show up and take the online tests and do the HW. Idk why I don't got this kinda teacher at my own Uni. TAKE HIM IF YOU TRYNA LEARN AND PASS.
Enthusiastic professor, he makes accounting exciting. Come to class, it's beneficial. All homework and both exams are online. If you do the work, you'll get a good grade. The homework can be time consuming, but that's accounting. Great class, take him - you won't be disappointed. Has a sense of humor and kind.
Professor Schochet is the BEST professor at Brooklyn college. He explains concepts very well. He has a sense of humor and is very kind. Excellent Professor. You'll Learn A Lot In His Class. Excellent Teaching Style And Knows How To Grab A Students Attention. Highly Recommended.
Hes a great Professor, gives excellent review material
Hes the best professor EVER. His lectures are so fun and easy to understand. He loves accounting and loves to teach so this is his dream job, which you can tell by how good he is. He tries his best to make class fun. Midterm is online and all of the homework is done online. You can find lots of help online even if youre struggling with keeping up
I took his course based on the overwhelmingly amazing ratings here and was not disappointed!! Prof. Scochet is a master explainer, extremely patient, and actually RESPECTS his students. He is a rare find in colleges these days. BC is lucky to have him. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN! You will learn tons and will actually walk out of the course MUCH smarter...
Thanks to Professor, I enjoyed this class.
I learned a lot from the Fraud Analysis course. Was completely online and had 18 quizzes, 18 assignments, 2 exams, and one final project. A lot of work, but well worth it. Now I know all about fraud. :) The prof put together a great course! Take the course
Basically if you do the homeworks that he gives online and carefully review the review sheet he gives out before the midterm and final there's no reason you shouldn't get an A. No other exams besides midterm and final and both are online.
He is very inspirational and highly organized. Love his class.
There is nothing not to love about this prof. Clear lectures, easy going, charismatic. He is a rare find and I would suggest taking his courses if you can (though, his classes get filled up fast)...
Very knowledgeable professor. Midterm, final, and online homework only. Attendance is not mandatory after the first few weeks. EASY A. Both tests are online as well. Homework is difficult at times but everything could be found online.
Very knowledgeable professor. Midterm and finals are all online. Hw and serials problems are as well. Recommend those whos taking accounting class to take him! A+
Enthusiastic professor, he makes accounting exciting. Come to class, it's beneficial. All homework and both exams are online. If you do the work, you'll get a good grade. The homework can be time consuming, but that's accounting. Great class, take him - you won't be disappointed. Has a sense of humor and kind
Professor Sholom was amazing! I highly recommend him. His lectures are very helpful so go to class. He makes accounting seem so easy and fun, and he is very encouraging. He's also very enthusiastic and you can tell that he loves teaching. Easy grader in my opinion; exams are all online, do your connect homework, and one online project.
Great professor, I wish there were more professors like him!
I was blessed to have this professor like wow
one word..... AMAZING
Professor Schochet is a legend. I would take take him again in a heartbeat. My biggest fear was taking an accounting course as part of my business degree requirements since math is not my strong point. I now enjoy accounting so much b/c of this professor that I switched my major to accounting! Bless him
If only there were most teachers like him... I looked forward to each class as his lectures are so clear and enjoyable. Actually cares about the students. Hard not to perform well in this class if you are serious about your studies. Defiently take him!
I'm a brand new business student. I'm taking his class now. I alway sit in the front. he's an amazing professor and I learn so much in this class. if you study, you'll definitely learn a lot in his class.
I took Professor Schochet this semester for Introduction to Accounting, and I must say that he was one of the best professors I have ever had at Brooklyn College. His class is really easy and all homeworks are online as well as exams. If you do everything you will pass with an A. I would definitely recommend him to other Accounting students
Professor Schochet is simply put amazing at teaching. His lectures are enjoyable and he makes the content relevant to the real world and today's age. All the homeworks and exams are online and he provides practice for the exam (he is that caring and benevolent). There really is no reason why anyone should fail this class.
Top Professor in BC! Cares for his students and wants to see them all succeed. Teaches with passion and is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
I have taken this course in the summer 1 session in 2019. There were a lot of homework assignments and quizzes. Also, there was a midterm and final exam. There was also a term paper. Get started on all of those things right away. There are some chapters from the textbook that are long. This course is very interesting. The professor is awesome.
During the summer semester there were 4 tests plus a term paper. All to do in a short 4 week semester. He's respectful and knowledgeable but makes you work very hard.
Took this Fraud Accounting course during the summer. Many quizzes, assignments and a final prioject - that's the downside. The upside is no coming to class - all online - very interesting material, a prof who's always accessible for questionns and guidance and a clear curriculum. Would recommend for serious and disciplined students.
I took this course to complete the required credit for my CPA license. I also took it because I heard nice feedback from friends. Excellent choice - I learned fraud concepts I never knew about (Benford's Law!) and wrote a report about current fraud in the corporate world. The course in online with many assignments - be prepared to work hard. enjoy
Great course, very informative and interesting. Got educated in the ways of fraud prevention and detection and financial statement analysis. Assignment and quiz on every chapter plus midterm and final. Fair grader - highly recommend.
Hes AMAZING. His examples really help you understand the topic, and sometimes he might go a little fast so don't zone out. Hes got a lot of energy, so you won't be bored most of the time and he also talks about super interesting real world situations. Take good notes. Everything is online, hw, midterm, and final, everything is due end of semeste
If you pay attention in class, you won't need to read the textbook. There are homework assignments and projects due all at the end of the semester so you can pace it out. Exams are online but don't expect google to help you cuz it won't. He gives practice exams that are almost identical to the form of the actual exam so better do them.
I took this course to get my CPA license and I am glad I did. The course is fully online and there are MANY assignments, but the course is very doable with enough dedication. The professor answered all my questions and emails within a short time and is very knowledgeable and respectful. BC is lucky to have him. Take him if there is space!
I really enjoyed this class. Took this for winter session and it was really interesting. You learn a lot and there are many assignments that are related to each chapter. And there is a midterm, final, term paper and quizzes for each chapter. Prof communicates very well.
Best Accounting Professor at Brooklyn College!! Take him if you need it!!!!
Loved his lectures so much. Shame COVID hit and closed campus. Prof. Schochet was so generous and understanding with his grading and gave a "COVID Credit". I am forever grateful! Bless you, professor!
I will definitely take his class! I learned the most from his class!
Very good professor. Clear lectures and simple homework. When class transitioned to remote work, there were pre-recorded lectures and our final grade had 5 extra points added to it as "covid credit"
Online class. No due dates, everything due at end of semester. All work is done on Connect. Each chapter has a smartbook assignment and homework assignment. Other work is midterm, final, annual report assignment and ethics assignment. Not a hard class.
Awesome Professor. Very straightforward. He made all assignments and quizzes and term paper all due at the end of the semester. I would really recommend pacing yourself with the works instead of leaving it all last minute. Easy A for this class!
You have to teach yourself. EVERYTHING is on Connect, due at the end of the semester. Graded by 9 Smartbook assignments, 9 hws, 2 essays, 1 project, & 2 exams. I got a 64 on my final, but after completion of all other assignments, I ended up with an A- (adds 5 pts on overall grade for "COVID credit") meaning he's not test heavy. Would've gotten a B
Great Intro Accounting course! I took the online version. He gave lots of resources to succeed - but the course requires motivation as all is done online at your own pace. Prof is very generous and issued a covid credit due to circumstances. Would highly recommend for serious students. If you need hand holding, take his in-person class. Recommend!!
Great prof, clear lectures, flexible, accessible, passionate. Would strongly suggest learning with him as you will actually LEARN a lot. Prof Schochet is a rare gem in Brooklyn College. The only downside it that it is hard to register for his courses as they fill up too quickly (high demand). So work fast...
This class is fully online. We have to purchase a code on Connect and that is where we do all our homeworks, projects, classworks, and exams.
The course I took was fully online (covid). There was quite a bit of hw, a midterm and final. But, prof was always available and answered all my emials quickly and clearly. He provides tons of resources and lecture videos. Very fair grading and sympathetic to student's situation with flexible deadlines. Would recommend in a heartbeat. gluck
Took the intro class during the Winter and it was very difficult because we basically had to teach ourselves everything. However, the professor is very understanding. We had smartbook assignments which were very long and repetitive but it ended up being extra credit if we did it. I ended up with a 105 in the class. Very fair class!
I took a class in the winter semester, only 20 days. The course is difficult but if you do homework and tests after each chapter then you will succeed. You can get extra credits for good studies.
DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU'RE A FULL-TIME STUDENT HE GIVES TOO MUCH HOMEWORK. All of his homework are on connect and you will need at least 6/7 hours a daily to do his homework. Don't let these positive reviews fool you his work is tedious.
Stay away from him !!!!! Lots of homework, projects and 2 exams. The amount of work he gives you is ridiculous
1) The amount of homework on connect, 2) The 2 exams are easy only because of Chegg/Quizlets, 3) Extra credit is super long over 300 questions + the projects +the homework. Overall, you will have to work very hard in order to receive an A+. Don't let these positive reviews on here fool you his class is very hard.
Take another professor he gives too much homework & he is very sarcastic
This prof makes you work for it. Ample work and practice. However, I ended up appreciating accounting in a way I would never have otherwise. Provided amazing lectures and resources. He was always available to me and my questions. Definitely recommend the course!
I recommend this prof and course. I learnt a lot and it was enjoyable. Many resources were provided and prof schochet was always available and eager to help and answer all my quetions. Lots of homework - but with generous policies (flexible deadlines, check your work, two attempts). Highly recommend!
This class was amazing! I am glad that have an opportunity to take this class and rich my knowledge. This class gave me a basic accounting understanding. Professor provides a different source where each student finds his own best way to learn and this way of teaching is very helpful and effective. I recommend professors for future students!
Lots of work but well designed course. I enjoyed it immensely and the prof is always very helpful. Recommended
HOMEWORK FOR DAYS!!!!!! GET READY TO WORK YOUR BUTT OFF
He is okay just so much work for one online class. I would advise you to pick an easier professor that doesn't give this much homework and projects.
This was an asynchronous class however there was no recorded lecture. He gave us links to other professor's lecture on youtube instead. If this class was synchronous I might take but stay away from asynchronous. I am not lying. He actually does not give recorded lectures and income tax is a really hard course. Take at your own risk
His replies to his emails are always something along the lines of the answer is in the textbook or on bb. Like if we could find the answer in the textbook or we had the time to reread the entire textbook then we wouldn't be asking you for help. There is also no recorded lectures . Avoid at all cost. Take him if you plan on failing the class
I no idea how bad professor have good rating. He not good professor. He no teach. I teach myself. I hate he give a lot homework. To much. This not only class I take. I wish I no take him. Bad professor. I wish you no take also. No take him...
Great guy. Lots of homework but I actually walked away learning a ton. He's respectful and answered all my questions. Highly recommended.
Brooklyn College has a gem of a professor. Prof. Sholom curated an awesome course with enough resources to learn without getting overwhelmed. I appreciated his flexibility with due date and the opportunity for extra credit. I hope to take another course with him in the spring.
He teaches tough accounting classes, but makes sure to prepare us well. Wasn't a fan of his zoom classes based on his muting policies, but other than that, he was amazing. Always accessible outside of class and acted as a guidance counselor/mentor of sorts. Really really knows his stuff.
He does not provide any slides that connects gives to him. He doesn't have any lectures and lots of homework. Be prepared to learn the material yourself. Hardest A that I gotten. At the very least he could of given us powerpoint slides if he really didn't want to teach. His replies in emails are very unhelpful. Don't bother emailing him. AVOID
The lectures, although not mandatory, are both informative and exciting. I wouldn't recommend taking this for a summer/winter class as there is a lot of material to cover. Although I took this class in the winter, I still got an excellent grade. The professor is a great guy, and there is a lot to learn from this class.
The course and most of the material were very hard to understand, at least for me. There is A LOT of homework, two projects, and work online with Connect. The online work can get time-consuming, don't wait until the last minute - pace yourself! If you don't have good time management, you should probably avoid this course.
This professor is a gem! Due to the effect of COVID-19 in the 2021 Spring semester, he gave his students extra credit on the final grade. His exam is easy, you just need to read the materials and finish HWs, projects. You will easily pass his exams and get an "A" on your mark.
Any course with the professor Schochet is the best. I enjoy learning from his lectures
Love his course. A friend recommended taking accounting with Prof Schochet. He did not disappoint! Recommended!
I delayed taking accounting for as long as possible due to fear of the topic but Prof. Schochet put me at ease. Accounting is not at all what I thought. Everything was explained to clearly and enjoyably - I have now chaged my major to accounting (no joke!). I am grateful to Prof. Schochet which is why I took the time to share this. good luck to all
This professor is one of the best I have had, if you take his online class he has everything there and you basically just follow a different chapter a week. I emailed him that one of the online quizzes for me failed and he emailed me back within 10 mins fixing the problem for me
Highly recommend. Good guy who cares about student success and understanding of situations. Glad I too the course. Learned a lot!
Was nervous about accounting as math is not my thing. I learned in the course that accounting is more about organization than math. Prof. Schohet was caring and understanding of my circumstances when my grandma passed. He extended the deadline of some assignments. Nice guy and approachable. You will learn a lot. Recommend!
I learned that accounting is about organization, not math. I learned that accounting is not what most people think it is. Turns out, accounting is quite pleasant, light, and logical! I did not need to chase down pennies. :) Thanks to Professor Schochet, I have gained an appreciation to an area I had initially dismissed as irrelevant. Recommended!!
Had this professor during the 2023 semester not gonna lie there's a lot of writing but thats part of learning. Maybe 1-2 topics a week which isn't bad but still he is very nice. He replies to email fast and yeah just watch the online lectures do the work and you will get n easy A
Excellent course, caring professor, and clear assignments. I did not have high expectations coming into this accounting course (numbers are not my thing) but was pleasantly surprised that accounting can be interesting and useful. Certainly not as difficult as I assumed... Recommended!
Wonderful teacher, would take again
Hear about Prof. Schochet from friends who took his accounting courses. He did not disappoint. He speaks so clearly and it is a pleasure to listen to his lectures. He cares about the students. I am thinking of switching my major to accounting. It really is a fascinating topic! I have nothing but praise for this teacher.
Professor Schochet makes accounting surprisingly engaging. With his guidance, I gained a new appreciation for the subject. The workload is hefty, but using resources like Unstuck AI helped me stay on top of it.
It's a shame this site only allows 5 stars. On a scale from 1-5, this professor is hands down a cool 11. Super stuff!
Professor Schochet is an engaging and effective lecturer who makes his classes both interesting and easy to follow. His grading criteria were straightforward, consisting of 5 case studies, 3 research papers, and 2 exams. If you want to truly understand auditing, this is the professor to learn from.
Love this guy. Very understanding. He said the case studies have to be 3 pages but I wasn't able to stretch out the answers enough and wrote 2 pages and he still gave me 100. That doesn't mean you don't try, he's still looking for effort. Take him. This is the first time I got a full 100% on a course. Will be taking more of his classes. Easy exams.
Absolutely recommend. No joke, I switched my major to accounting right after this class. Never thought accounting could be this cool! Prof. Schochet picked such solid resources, and he's super fast at replying to emails. Honestly wish every prof at BC was like him.
Professor Schochet is wonderful and you will not regret taking him! He was always communicative and very organized with this course. The course was graded by chapter assignments, an annual report, and an ethics writing assignment. I would highly recommend this professor because he is quite on top of his responsibilities.
Easy A, especially the online async class
Great Professor, this is my second accounting class and Professor Schochet made the course very easy and understanding.
By far the fastest responder to emails out of all the professors and teachers i ever had in my lifetime.He responds to emails so quickly in my case he responded under 2 hours.He quickly fixes any problems or issues you might have he is also very passionate about what he teaches and teaches in a precise and informative matter best professor
He is a breath of fresh air. Clear assignments, great content, responsive and caring. I highly recommend this professor and course. I had a personal issue during the course and Professor Schochet responded with sentitivity, understanding, and grace - I am forever grateful!
Professor Schochet is one of the best professors I've had. His lectures are clear and engaging, he's super responsive and supportive, and I found his grading to be fair. There's a good amount of work, but it actually helps you learn. I'd definitely take another class with him!
The class and the proffesor was very chill, but I feel like I did not fully get the grade I deserved. I did not get a higher grade than I anticipated because I apparently did not turn in something that I'm positive did do.
