AVOID! He's easy, but you won't know what's going on in class and he doesn't prepare you well for exams. It's a reads-from-the-book teacher.

Avoid at all costs: drop the class, take a night class, etc!!! He's easy, BUT he doesn't teach anything, you'll have to learn it all on your own. His classes consist only of reading handwritten transparencies that are copied the book!

Expects students to know the CICA handbook by heart. When you ask why, he says that it's because the handbook says so. He's terrible at explaining and his notes are copied word for word from the book. Pointless to attend class with him, you might as well teach yourself.

Good teacher in general, goes over good review problems & real life examples in class. At least one or two of his examples will show up in an exam. The Handbooks are an integral part of accounting. If you haven't figured that out yet and the reasons why teachers go over them by now, maybe you should get out of the program.

Very passionate about auditing. Uses his personal notes in class that are available at copy center. Notes are very useful as book is boring. Gives real life examples, summer class exam questions are all cases. Assign. is guaranteed 8/10 and frequently asks for class participation to liven things up (but not part of grade). Would take him again!

Horrible teacher. Use his notes, which are not clear at all. Have to buy his handwritten notes in copy center, seems for me he does not know how to use computer or he is very lazy. No explanation in class, just read from his notes. Audit is not easy topic, he makes it even harder. Avoid.

Among the few CU teachers who actually CARE about students' success.Lots of real life examples which help u grasp theoretical concepts.if u WANT to learn he's the most willing to help u succeed u just have to ask!Listen in class, what he says is key &will most likely be on exam.The more u participate the better u'll do.VERY FAIR grader!

Great lecturer. The textbook seemed like jibberish until he explained each chapter in class. If you pay attention, he gives clear hints on what will be on the exams. He does weigh down your grade by grading very harshly on the assignments (worth 20%) but if you put in the effort, you can easily get your B- or higher.

Very harsh grader!! He does not explain at all. The only thing he does in class is to read from his book which is practically a copy paste of the textbook ($28)that we have to by in addition to the textbook.He adds extra 15 questions per chapter in addition to whts on outline...That's fine but it was terrible in 6 week summer.

Tough grader yes but he teaches one alot about the current tax system which is difficult. Uses real situations including current matters to explain tax rules

Once you meet with prof Shulman u get to see why he graded exam the way he did. He is a hard grader but he demands that his students work hard to achieve the maximum levels. He is a pretty good communicator but incorrectly assumes students know the subject before class

I don't understand why JMSB still hires the professor like Stanley Schulman. He just read slides using half classtime and then class is over. He's not patient to answer questions. Even you sit in 1st row of the class, he cannot hear your questions. Learn nothing through his class(showed twice), but learned all from Tutor Michael and seft study.

The entire lecture was him reading printed slides (that were made by the textbook publisher) on a projector. Made the lectures incredibly useless to attend. He was also quite rude when students wanted to see their grades and learn from their mistakes. Do not recommend taking unless he is the only option left. Get a tutor instead.

This teacher gives real life simulations of the audit world in the class. Better than any textbook. One sees auditing completely different. Somewhat easy to understand.

After each section taught he goes through one or two illustrations to explain the previously discussed slides. These illustrations easier to understand than the textbook problems. Going to class and doing assigned problems a must
