Great professor but attendance is a must. Goes over the material and makes sure everybody understands it. He answers all your questions. His second test can be a bit tricky but if you study you can get a decent grade. He prepares you well for the final. You don't even need to buy the textbook just study the notes and you can get a good grade.

You will DEFINITELY leave this class learning something! He's an excellent professor and knows his material. He can come across as being "mean" to some, but students need to wake up and welcome to the corporate world. Once you're out there, no one is going to hold your hand, so this will prepare you.

SUPER SMART Professor. But, very unclear on material. Dosn't follow Auditing book. First exam's very easy, straight from the notes, but, Midterm and Final are VERY VERY HARD, but, 20% of the grade is participation and showing up (You'll fail otherwise, guaranteed). VERY HELPFUL and knows his material. Much better than most others at QC.

Straight forward professor. No games or any nonsense. Two exams and a final. VERY knowledgeable and articulates the material very well. Yes he will call you out if you are on your phone or come late and disrupt class. However, if you pay attention to his lectures, he makes the dry material easier to grasp. DON'T LOOK AT YOUR PHONE! Great professor!

He is very competent in ACCT321. He is a fair grader, so if you want an easy grade without effort, will not make it. If you go to his lectures and take good notes and read them before each class, you will be good. He prepares you for the real world, to be a good Auditor. He is available for you whenever you need him.

He's a very knowledgeable professor and has a lot of experience in the field. He isn't for snowflakes but the class is easy to pass if you put the time in and take good notes. Grade is based on exams only and hw is optional but recommended to do. He tells you what will be on the exams but he did throw in a few curveballs so know your stuff.

Update to sept 7 bad review I gave. He grades tests VERY leniently. He seems tough but over the semester you come to realize he is a good guy trying to inform ppl about the real world. Just study a LOT and do your best on exams, you'll be fine, I promise. Take VERY good notes. He gets mad if ppl don't do hw or don't pay attention. SO DON'T BE LAZY.

Knows his profession in and out, but can't convey half his wisdom without disparaging or moralizing every other sentence. An otherwise capable teacher held back by his enormous ego, short temper, and vitriolic tongue. You won't have to ask questions if you follow along, but if you do get confused you're out of luck. 100% serious students only.

Kumar is an excellent professor. He is tough, he is strict, he is stern, but as the semester goes on, he gets more lenient. Get him to know you. He seems intimidating at first, but he has your best interests at heart. His lectures are clear, he explains everything perfectly. Yes, its hard, but do the work, and dont be lazy and you will succeed.

Professor Kumar is knowledgeable and makes auditing material easy to understand. Attend class, take good notes, and use unstuckstudy along with the textbook for solid exam prep. Grading is fair, though the course can be challenging.

I withdrew from his class since I didn't do well on the two midterms. You won't pass his course if you start this class by being lazy or have other heavy loaded classes. You need to do self or group studying for this class. I recommend watching YT videos related to the class topics, reading the class textbook, and rewriting his class notes to pass.

If you like large tests to do within an impossible time, this winter course is for you. He will make you write down notes and explains a lot, which is not bad at all, but, he is very rude when you are confused and makes you feel bad when you dont understand the topic as clearly as he wants you to. If you do take this winter course: lock tf in.

A bad reputation to us Guyanese people. Lazy, condescending, SASSY. When people were not able to attend the first class he directly outed them to the whole class and suggested they drop the class. He also removed all review material the day before the test, to boost his own ego. His only response to the exam review was: "We reviewed this already."

The issue is purely the prof. If students are trying to learn something, dont discourage them from even talking to you. Horrible professor. Take his job away

Do you like writing essays for an accounting class. Do you like being insulted when you ask for clarification on a topic. Do you like professors that dont give partial credit for exams yet only have 3 questions per exam. If so take Kumar a man with so little regard for compassion and understanding that its a truly a question of why does he teach.

Not nearly as bad as most people are saying he is. While he's definitely a bit rough at times, he teaches well and he is actually a very lenient grader as long as you understand the material and follow the format he wants. Took him for 201 and 202. 201 has an essay for every exam, 202 has one for the final. Get an ebook textbook; he rarely uses it.

The classroom environment was extremely discouraging. The professor often raised his voice and responded to questions in a humiliating way. A student was publicly told they did not belong in a regular academic setting for asking questions. Many students stopped participating, emails went unanswered, and learning suffered. WOULDN'T RECOMMEND!!!!!
