Dr. J is an excellant accountant and teacher. Reading is a MUST in his class. It would be advantageous to read each chapter at least 3 times. His lectures are very precise. Take good notes and read constantly.

Tough teacher but makes you learn. Expects much from students, and students will tend to rise to his level of expectations. One of the best for accounting majors.

This professor is not for non-accounting majors. He is a good teacher and requires students to do their part. You have to learn you cannot just fly by the seat of your pants.

He was very nice, and helpful. I did well because I did my homework and read the chapter over and over. He is one of the best !

Im not an accounting major, have not interest in accounting, yet I got an 'A' in his class. Something about his teaching style, and the way he broke everything down really worked well for me, although all mt friends failed, or just barely scraped by. Not for everyone ;)

This teacher is bery tough, but he makes you learn the material which is great because most teachers you can fly by and not have to learn anything. If you want to learn I advice take him, but if you want to me lazy take someone else who is easier.

He is NOT an easy professor but he is a very good accountant and he knows what he is doing, sometimes he talks a mile a minute, but the book is very helpful and so is the hw if you do it you have to work hard to do well, but i really feel like i learned a lot from this class

He has a PhD but that is it. He has no experience in accounting outside the classroom. There is plenty of other respectable professors out there including McNabb and Cook.

He is a great professor- he turns 3 credit classes into 4 or 5 credits. Has a PhD but no expreience in the real world.

Good teacher. What people fail to realize is that teachers are there to present you with the work demonstrate it to you. BUT your the one thats suppose to suck in the information,get help, ask questions. Hes not gone take his brain out and give it to you. This teacher was good. You just cant be lazy. If the work is hard get a tutor like i did.

This class is definitely not for slackers. He gives a lot of homework problems, but they are helpful if you study them for the exams. Willing to help you outside of class if you have any questions. You can get an A in this class, but you will probably have to work for it.

hard class to take. he assigns a lot of homework which you need to do to get a good grade in his class. if you need help he is willing to give it to you, but he never seems to be in his office during his hours. i would recommend to take him, even though most people say not to take him.

The people who are giving bad ratings are just lazy! Yeah, if you don't pay attention in class or do the HW you will fail no doubt about it. Even if you work hard you may not receive an A, but I know through personal experience that he is willing to help students who ask. If your not going to work hard, don't take this class. He knows his stuff

Tough class, not a bad teacher. However, I can see why some hate him! haha. Tough exams, keep up on the homework, avoid him if possible but you'll live if you get him. Just tell him you play bluegrass guitar and you're in! haha.

One of the easiest classes I've had. Textbook needed for homework problems but, if you pay attention in class, really only needed as a refresher. I didn't even read any of the chapters after 1. Quizzes are short but unannounced so attendance is a must. Tests are easy as long as you can remember account names, a few vocab terms, and like 5 formulas.

Do your work and you'll be fine :) He's very passionate about what he does. Very enthusiatic :) I would recommend!

Very nice man, very passionate about what he teaches. Do the homework and participate in class and you will get a good grade. You get out of it what you put in to it.

I think most people are being pretty harsh.I took his class my first semester of freshman year. He expects you to read the book and do homework, as any teacher would.He lectures what he wants to lecture, but if you have questions he makes sure they are answered.His door was ALWAYS open if I needed to go see him and tests aren't bad if you study.

I don't know what everyone is complaining about...Yeah accounting is a tough class in general. You have to read the book, and you have to study. Get over it. That's how you LEARN. He is a good teacher who will help you if you ask. But if you're not willing to put in the effort then don't even bother taking an accounting class at all.

Long homework, and hard tests. He expects you read the book in depth, and is picky about answers on exams. But overall a good guy if you put in the effort you'll do fine.

I just graduated in accounting and I am very glad I had this prof throughout. He has high expectations, but he prepared me for the CPA exam better than any other professor. I would recommend him for all accounting majors. If you fail his class, try harder, or find a different major... expect a struggle in his class and put forth extra effort.

People hate this guy because he actually challenges you. His tests are difficult but it makes you learn the material. Homework is graded only on participation. READ the chapters. He is actually a really great guy that gets a bad rap because he is hard. He will help with anything. Participate in lectures and follow in the book and notes he hands out

Favorite proffesor at Ferris! Dr. Jakubowski is the best. He is very passionate about what he teaches and loves to watch his students catch on to the material. He really prepares you for the CPA exam. The more you learn now, the less you have to learn later. 310/312 are the "weed out" classes for Accounting majors. READ and REREAD the chapters!!!!!

Jakubowski has very high standards. He expects you to put a lot of time into work outside of class, but welcome to the world of accounting. Accountants regularly work long hours, so get used to it. Very keen to detail, also an incredibly important skill for accountants to have. In his syllabus he warns you not to slack.

Jakubowski is tough. Read, read, and reread the chapters. The tests are very difficult, and you will have to put a significant amount of time into each chapter. He is more than willing to see you after class if you're struggling. Ultimately, his class will prepare you for the difficulty of the questions on the CPA exam, so get used to it.

He is very interested in accounting! The first day he will tell you the most important thing you can do in the class is read and do not take this lightly because the more you read the easier it is and you will understand classroom discussions.

These are the weeder classes, so they're going to be hard. Just read the textbook and work at the homework. He does a really good job at giving partial credit for the essay problems, so put as much down as you can. You'll understand the material better if you participate in class.

It's tough teaching accounting but this guy does a good job trying to make basic accounting principles as clear as possible. His lectures are a bit sarcastic (in a humorous way) and he is very animated. It's clear that he has a passion for the subject matter. Bottom line: do the work. Read the material, do the homework and you will pass the class.

Professor Jakubowski is the best professor I've ever had. I noticed A LOT of kids in my class didn't read the chapters and didn't have homework to turn in... Yes, there is a lot of reading. BUT Professor Jakubowski also does a great job explaining the reading in class, and he gives out handouts he makes on the chapter. He is a great professor!!!!!!

Steve Jakublowski is old school. I didn't agree with his teaching methods at first, but I found him to be very helpful and resourceful. There's a lot of effort to put forth in the class, which I believe he arranges in such a way so that each student will critically consider accounting.
