Zeller is a very good teacher, but makes you work hard. He hates it when students are not punctual. Tests are somewhat difficult; half is mult choice but the other half is blank page analysis. Can not slack off in his class to do well.

I thought this was a good class..going to class will make it easier to understand when the test comes. Professor seems to care about his students. you have to do work to get a good grade. overall, i thought it was a good class

Very hard.if ur acct major take him and make sure he knows u.Never miss class.Never be late.He fails people regularly - 2 of my roomates failed.he is a good prof and def knows what hes talking about.

yes, Zeller was evil in 202. but in 308 he was totally different, the assignments were easy, and he'd allow us to argue for points on the tests. total blow off class. truly in his element

Awesome!!! None of that stupid in depth equations, just basic Accounting common sense. Exams are not bad at all, and project takes a lot of time, but easy!!!

HIS CLASS WAS VERY EASY. HE MAKES SURE THAT YOU KNOW THE MATERIAL BEFORE GOING ON TO THE NEXT SUBJECT. GIVES PLENTY OF EXAMPLES. TESTS ARE ALSO EASY. IF YOU DON'T DO GOOD ITS BC YOU DON'T GO TO CLASS.

Zeller is a great teacher. If you go to class and take notes, you'll do fine on the tests and get an A in the class!

Dr. Zeller is wonderful, very sarcastic and fun in class. Knows his accounting and is very concerned with students well-being. Striving for students to be value-added. Go to class and pay attention and you'll be ok.

Excellent. Need to go to class to do well. Usually has questions on exams like ones that he does in class. SO pay attention to them.

Great professor! Goes over everything in class, and makes sure that students know how to do all problems that will be on the test. It is extremely important to go to class, but he tries to make it fun (as much fun as accounting can be).

Zeller is a really good teacher. The tests are pretty hard so you have to study. Also you have to attend class for a better chance to score well. There are extra analytical skills developed in-class. Overall Zeller is awesome.

Prof. Zeller breaks everything down for you to understand and make it look so simple. i love his class, could get boring sometimes but overall this is the ONE professor you need to take if you want to learn accounting.

Very good, helps link accounting to how it is used after school. I Dont like accounting but I liked his class

Great Teacher! Just remember to turn your annual report project in on time.

Professor Zeller is wonderful!!! recommend him to anyone. The class is not easy, but you learn so much!:) He makes accounting as interesting as possible.

EXCELLENT PROFESSOR, REALLY HAS A PASSION FOR TEACHING, HE NEVER HAS A BAD DAY, ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM THAT EVERYONE SUCCEEDS, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO TRY AND SHO EFFORT, AND HELL SHOW INTEREST IN YOU, RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO ANYONE

Not too demanding. 2 exams 1 final 1 written project. Good prof; he teaches the material well. A is attainable if you come to class and pay attention. Don't be late and don't get on his bad side; he plays favorites. Being an attractive girl helps apparently

Not a bad class. 3 tests and a long and tedious project that is easy to do well on. Does a good job explaining homework. Big on class participation. Sometimes can be a little full of himself. 1st test was easy but dont be fooled 2nd test was much harder. dont know about the final. i would reccomend

I hate accounting and struggled with 201, and I ended up with A in class. Great teacher and is very helpful, will give great help in office. Go to class! Put forth the time and effort and he will reward you. Can be nitpicky, great sense of humor.

Best professor at Loyola. Hard but fair.

Awesome prof. He is the reason I switched my major to accounting, which I had no interest in beforehand. Somehow he makes something so seemingly boring seem interesting. Willing to help always. Take him for whatever you can

Excellent professor! Gets the class involved and actually does care about each individual. When you get beyond the intro courses such as 201 and 202 he bases his classes on the real world. Once at the higher level he does not baby his students or puts them

Clearly the MORON below me mustve written like 5 messages because he/she was too dumb to understand accounting. I hate when acct majors complain that they cant pass a test with simple journal entries, did you ever consider that you are a moron? Zeller is great, take him, dont listen to the idiot.

Very enthusiastic. He is difficult, but makes the course interesting by applying real life cases. Enjoyed his course.

He curved the first exam due to high percentage of people failing the first exam. After that the avg. grade for the first exam was 34/50

This class is hard. There is no way around it. Zeller is a cool guy and cracks some jokes in class but he does make a lot of mistakes on the board which can be frustrating. The exams can be tough but he does offer some extra credit, and the hw helps your overall grade a ton. Good prof. just super hard subject.

I only semi-agree with other people. His questions are hard on multiple choice, nearly immpossible. But he's willing to help if needed. Understanding yet tough grader.Take him only if you truly know or want to learn accounting.

Most of the people who have reviewed this professor thus far will not be successful accountants. Professor Zeller has devoted his life to instruction and will spend any amount of time with a student to help them along. I missed several classes, went to his office with no excuse, and he helped me through step by step. Just apply yourself and go SLO

Very interested in his getting his point across. Very into his area of study. He may come across as a bit odd, but don't let it fool you. He is a top notch professor. A star in Loyola's Acctg area. Glad I took him.

All around class. Focuses on practical business applications. I learned more practical business knowledge from this course than any other business course. Good guy, encourages open ideas and discussion. Great class, interactive environment. Highly recommend him.

...and 202. Here's the thing, if you want your hand held or someone to put your pacifier back, well, Zellar isn't for you. He is demanding, doesn't spoon-feed and yes can get ahead of himself in class but, you will know what it feels like to actually be faced with an accounting problem. I've read some of the comments on here and I think to myself "

Zeller tries harder than any other accounting professor to make a pretty dry topic interesting. Every class he uses real world examples. This class isn't easy, but you will learn something, and it's not nearly as boring as most accounting classes! I would take him again, if I was forced into another accounting class!

Good prof. Alot of sports analogies but very helpful and friendly

People who write negative comments about this professor are wrong - nothing comes easy in life, college is for people who are willing to work hard! Mr. Zeller makes the topic really interesting & enthusiastic just read and understand the material he goes over in class, paperless tests!

Those who don't like Zeller are ppl who get annoyed when they have to follow specific instructions bc he penalizes if you don't, or people who just want probs/info fed with no theory. Zeller is BIG on theory and logic behind acct. He clearly loves teaching and is dedicated to presenting material in a way. If you work hard you will get along great.

Yes, he is knowledgeable and yes, he does care about teaching. BUT, you must follow his method if you want to do well in the class.

Cool guy, but frustrating class. While tests mostly based on the homework and practice exams, still finds a way to make them extremely difficult.

Great teacher ! You need to do the work,there is no free lunch in Zellers class. Many people tha't dont like Zeller are too lazy to do the work. Zeller is the best accounting teacher I ever had !

Prepare to work hard. Do not memorize material. He places the study guide before exams for you to practice, lock down the methods and practice. This class will widen your scope on managerial accounting, and is very interesting. Get a group asap, meet once or twice a week to do the assigned homework, it really helps. Overall, amazing professor.

Ok, so you should always read ahead by at least 1 chapter, and do all the homework and thinkthrough the material so when you read it, read slowly and carefully. Have a small dedicated group to attack the material and do the practice exam and still leave sometime to rethink the material. If you do this you will get above B, possibly A. I had B+

You are going to have to work harder than most accounting courses, but you will learn a lot. Dont freak out when you fail an exam, you can recover it later. Got an A- when I thought I had a C+ so I want to say he curves the whole class.

dr. z. was extremely helpful. he really cares about students and wants to help them. one of the best professors i've had so far at loyola.

Took Prof Z last year and I liked his style of teaching. His passion for both the subject matter and for his imparting of knowledge was palpable. Do your homework and see him if you need help. Great guy. I recommend him.

Don't understand why people complain about this class. Using Excel in class is a very efficient and effective way to present the logic. Professor Zeller has done a great job. He even offers exam correction points for students. Moreover, the exam is not difficult if you spend some time to understand it and do your homework.

Zeller is a nice guy, his lectures can be dry but the information is important. He does not really talk about anything that he would not test you on. He gives clear hints on what might show up on an exam. The class is only exams and online homework, so if you do not do well on exams you will not do well in the class. Uses Excel heavily.

Accounting is a subject you either get or don't get. Thomas Zeller is the type to take the time to explain things for those of us who aren't in the major. With COVID-19 the course was online for the summer, but he made it worth the time and money. Always made time for questions, tests were just like the homework, and homework was always reviewed.

I have learned so much valuable information in my classes with Prof. Zeller. Instead of just reading from a textbook, Prof. Zeller's teaching style is hands-on and engaging. He is clear and straightforward. His classes are challenging, but not overwhelming. Do not leave your homework for the last minute and you will succeed with his guidance.

Professor Zeller doesn't come off as approachable at first but if you go to office hours he will help you understand anything that's not clear so don't be afraid to go talk to him! He's a genuinely nice guy, plus if he sees that you care about your grade, he is way nicer. He just wants his students to be successful

Despite what I see in previous reviews, he has definitely changed the structure of his class and improved upon it tremendously. He tells us what to focus on for hw and goes through many examples in class which makes the exam easier as well. I thoroughly enjoy his class as an accounting major.

Tests were so hard, but you are able to check your work once on worked out problems which helped a lot. I learned a lot from him in class and he brought real world examples daily. HW load was fine, MC test problems always stumped me though.

Grab a coffee before class. Lectures are very conceptual but very helpful to learn the content of this class. If you listen and participate in class with his examples, the homework and tests are a breeze. Makes it one of the easiest classes in the accounting department if you put the work in while in class, if not you will struggle.

He's a nice professor, and the class isn't too bad but to do well in class you have to show up to class. The exams are difficult, but it lets you check your work once. DO NOT FALL ASLEEP IN HIS CLASS.

Great professor. Seems tough, but is super good at what he does. Teaches well, lectures good. Classes are lecture heavy so try not to miss. Weekly homework assignments and 3 tests (can check work once per problem which is super helpful). Ties it into the real world so it doesn't seem pointless. Definitely recommend.
