Interesting class, good instruction.

One of the best acc teachers I've had. The class is not easy and you'll have to work and study to do well, but Karan is very thorough and helpful! You'll actually learn stuff. Highly recommended.

class was easily the hardest one ive ever taken,, your most likely an mba student if you take it so make sure you have some time to study,, he is a good teacher but the material is extensive,, study the homework and you will do fine-the exams are the same

Karan knows his cost accounting. He's a good teacher, but he grades hard. No curve...no sympathy. So, take notes, don't miss class

Great Teacher. There is a lot of studying involved but he is very sweet and approachable. Do the homework and you'll be fine.

Great teacher. If you want an A, you must know the homework and classwork backwards and forwards. There are no tricks, you just need to know your stuff and study at least 10hrs for each test. Very straight forward tests. He might curve a little but don't count on it. Grade in class: A (after 2 tests).

Dr Karan is a VERY NICE PERSON and approachable. He is willing to help you with questions you may have. In this graduate course THERE IS ALOT OF WORK and he is critical on presentations. He has take home final exam (2006) and grades on spelling as well. I must warn you tho- there is alot of work in this class.

My favorite accounting teacher at Fullerton. He knows the material very well. His class is well organized and structured. His exams are fairly hard, but if you study you'll do very well just like any college class.

He is a very good teacher. The class is very structured and he really sticks to the schedule. If you dont show up to class you will not do well on the test. The test are very hard. He moves throught the lecture too fast and its hard to follow him sometimes.

His tests are challenging and he sometimes lectures too fast. That being said, you have to do the assigned HW, do extra practice problems, and attend every class meeting. If you don't do any of those three, you will not pass the course. If you do all three, then he is not as hard as many people make him out to be.

Attend every lecture and pay attention. Study lecture notes and practice quiz will get you an A. He's not as hard as ppl say. I didn't do any homework after the first one. All I did is number the steps when he demonstrated so the notes did not look like a complete mess, especially calculation are jumping back and forth.

The best Accounting professor I ever had. Very knowledgeable and very easy to understand. He is always there whenever you need him.

Prof is very knowledgeable of the course and he demonstrates the easy way to understand the topic. He's very organized person. A lot of topics are covered in the course, however, just make sure you do your hw and understand the lecture well. He will go over a lot of exercises which is good. Touch class but payoff at the end!!

The best accounting prof. in CSUF.

Very good at teaching the material. Gives open book/note pop quizzes and collects some of the hw. STUDY for exams b/c he teaches the stuff one way in class & then uses test questions that are much more advanced than what we learned. Curve not stated on syllabus, but obviously used b/c I passed! Not the worst professor I've taken.

Very good professor. A lot of studying and tests are somewhat difficult. Just understand all homework problems and quizzes and you will do great. I definitely recommend him.

A great cost professor. Study and you will do very well. Very nice guy and he is very patient. Go over the hw problems in depth and you will do great.

This is one of the best cost accounting profs at CSUF. His class is HARD - do not underestimate the difficulty of the material. You must study at great length, do the homework, and attend class. While this class is difficult, it will definitely prepare you for upper division courses like ACCT 401. Remember, anything worth doing is not easy.

Cost accounting is hard - period. This guy might seem intimidating at first but if you go to office hours or just ask frank questions in class when you don't understand something, he will make it crystal clear. He doesn't waste class time, a lot of material is covered but it never seems like he's rushing. Remember, no one can pass without studying

He is a good profssor and makes the material understandible. Exams are still difficult.

Very nice professor.he's got the knowledge and knows how to teach too. very clear and makes the subject easy to understand.He is very helpful and won't move on unless the material is understood by everyone.I will take other courses with him,exams are difficult, and need a thourogh understanding of the subject.3 projects,challenging but rewarding.

This is a hard professor to take for Managerial Accounting, but then again the subject matter is not a walk in the park either. He does not do a great job of explaining the concepts in class, but if you go to his office hours he will help you better understand it. There are only 2 midterms and a final exam. If you study and show up you'll pass.

This class is very hard. The material, BUT this is the best professor to take it with.His exams are exactly the same as the HW problems, I got an 87% on the first exam, and around 70% on the second two exams and he gave me a B. Very nice guy, show up to class so he sees you and sees your trying, he curves big time. DO THE HW PROBLEMS!

OMG This has got to be the hardest class I have ever taken!! If you're in 510 and you think that's no walk in the park, beware of 511. Though I think, Prof. Karan is the only prof you should take this course with. Very approachable and certainly knows the subject matter. His smile is very encouraging too!

I got a B in ACCT511. But, I liked his class so much, I signed up for ACCT521 as one of my electives and got an A from Karan finally! He is perhaps 1 of the top 2 professors in the MBA program IMO. If you're not afraid of hard work and real class discussion, take Karan's classes. He doesn't blow smoke up your butt like most CSUF professors do.

One of the best accounting professors I've had. Teaches hard topics clearly and there are no surprises on the exams. Highly recommend this professor

Took him over summer, be prepared to work! You have to learn everything and stay on top of the class. He covers material quickly and thoroughly, while focusing on book examples(provides answers). His explanations are clear and easily comprehendable. 2 MTs, 3 Case Study Papers, Final cumulative. The man knows his stuff and expects you to know it too

Very organized, very clear. The workload is a lot but necessary to learn the subject well. Very nice professor. Will take him as long as he teaches.

Extremely large amount of work especially if taken over the summer. 2 three page essays due every class period, in class midterm, group paper and presentation, individual paper and presentation, and take home final paper. Yeah lots of stuff. But extremely good professor and a class meant to challenge the thought process of the student.

Honestly, the material is straight up hard. I would say the material is the hardest in 300 lvl acct class. But prof Karan is a very nice person who is willing to help you. His lecture is very organize, and the key to success is to pay attention! Quizzes and hw will boost your grade. 2 exams (15 mcq, 5 problems) and 1 final (50 mcq) take it with him

There is a lot of material to cover in this class. He mostly goes over math problems in class, and he expects you to cover concept by yourself. He explains the material very well in detail. Class is 2 mid 1 final hw/quiz open book. The first midterm so far was 20 mc half concept half math (60% grade). 3 math problems with partial credit.40% grade

Great Professor; has a genuine interest in student's learning and has a clear teaching style. 2 midterms, 1 cumulative final, and 3 case studies. Do the homework every week and do it once again before the test. Pay attention to the lecture. There are no tricks on the exam. You MUST understand the concept.

VERY CHALLENGING! The case studies took me days.His test a fair but difficult. You can't just know the material, you have to master it in order to do well.He is fair and very clear but moves quickly. Learn the material prior to class and attempt all homework or you will for sure be lost in class.Loved the class, learned so much.

Professor Karan is a very nice person and he explained the materials really well. Cost accounting is probably the hardest class in 300 level, and the textbook makes students very confusing; it's not the professor's fault. His exams are hard, but he usually curved the exams.

He is a very smart professor and knows material very well. The textbook is very confusing and I barely used it. He explains better than textbook. So, it is very important to go to every class because his lecture is very clear and helpful. Highly recommend this teacher.

Nice man and a good teacher. While this is a VERY TOUGH class, he is always willing to help. Do as many problems in the book as possible; he posts the answers. Tests and cases are tough and time-consuming. You won't finish if you don't know what you're doing. If you work full-time, I recommend you take this class by itself during your term.

Took this class during summer and got a B. Midterms and final were based on both multiple choice and written problems. Open book quizzes were all problem based (no multiple choice). Lectures focused on practicing how to do the problems. Never used a ppt during class. Do the homework! It was infinitely helpful for the test. Highly recommend him.

This class is a nightmare. Be prepared to study all day everyday! The professor basically goes through homework problems every lecture. I found it hard to follow at times and he didnt always explain where numbers came from. 2 midterms and a final. All short answer. Very difficult. You need to know the material well to at least get a C in the class.

Cost is a hard class! None the less, Karan teaches the way accounting classes should be taught: teaching a lot of problems in class and at home to practice. Take great notes, because I promise that he really does teach everything in class (I.e. reading can be less important but it always! helps). Think of the class as a bunch of templates. #advice

Toughest class I've ever taken! studied immensely and learned the material really well only to receive a C. insane amounts of homework. People did horrible on the tests because he doesn't give study guides and the tests were pulled out of a test bank so unrelated to class work. He is a good teacher but he goes over way too much material

Nice person. If you ask for help, it's there. The class is kinda clear. exams are not that hard as long as you study the questions he teaches in classes. But his pop quizzes are not easy. you only have 10 mins to solve a problem. Overall, OK but a little hard.

This is my favorite accounting professor at CSUF so far. I learned many valuable cost concepts by attending his lectures, practicing homework, and preparing class work ahead. His quizzes are very similar to the classwork that he has taught you from the previous lecture. Tests are based on review and quizzes. The final is super easy if you study.

I think he is super nice and helpful. His class may be challenging but all the tests/ exams are exactly like what he has reviewed in class. And it is an accounting class, of course extra practice is needed. There are 3 essays, they are all applied theories from what you have learned in class with more analysis required.

Possibly the best professor in Mihaylo. Dr Karan's amazing whiteboard notes get all knowledge points organized. He is always so nice and helpful. Took it in Summer. So 1-2 chapters per day and Accounting everyday all day. For each chapter, took 2-3 hrs to read first and 2hrs to do homework after class. Review often so you won't lose your way.

The professor knows the material very well and he teaches techniques that make the subject less difficult to understand. The subject itself is not easy, so attending lectures and practicing assigned exercises are must to do well in the class. I thought his grading was fair. Sit as close to him as possible; his voice is unclear at times.

Not doubt this class is hard, be ready to read before the class, and get familiar with problems that will be done in class. Professor Karan is super knowledgeable on the material, makes exercises easy to understand, and wants you to use your critical thinking. He is preparing students for their career not just to get a good grade.

The class is almost half lecture and half practice problems. He tends to move very fast through the problems and skip some parts of the math; so If you have any questions, ask him when he's still on the topic. Overall enjoyed the class and he is very carrying. Go see him if you are confused on anything and be prepared to work for your grade.

Vijay Karan was a pretty solid teacher. He expects you to have read the chapter before coming to class, so he doesn't spend a lot of time actually teaching much. He spends most of the class going over examples from the book. I feel like he did a great job explaining how to do things from the practice problems. The homework helps a lot on the exams.

This class was one of the toughest accounting classes Ive taken. I went to SI which helped SO MUCH. Karan spends a lot of time doing problems but doesnt tell you where hes getting the numbers. Do the problems he covers multiple times, read the book, and go to SI. The pop quizzes are tricky, so stay on top of everything. Decent curve at the end
