Good teacher, good lectures.
No Comments
So far, Dr. Thomas is the best professor I have had at OU. He is incredibly helpful and truly wants everyone to make a good grade in his class. However, he said on average only about 15% of the students make an A for the class.
easy class with a good prof
so so so helpful and friendly. really cares about all of the students and will do anything to help. also gives fairly entertaining lectures for a very dull subject.
He was an excellent teacher. His class made me change my major to finance, which I believe tells a lot about the professor. He creates great enthusiasm for the subject. He is so funny, and make accounting class so much fun.
awesome professor and very helpful!!
Wayne was awesome, very funny, and his class was very entertaining. Don't let that fool you though, the class is still harder than hell!
Dr. Thomas is GREAT!!! Not only is he a great person in general, but his teaching style is wonderful and interesting, even for accounting. A somewhat difficult class, but I got a B without opening the book (I'm an engineer). Highly recommended!!
All of the above comments are true. Incredible guy. Tough class but very reasonable.
Love him! He is one of my favorite professors here. Not only does he make the class as easy to understand as possible, but his course comments are so hilarious.
He is such a nice guy. He always has little stories to tell and he makes jokes. It makes the class go by a lot nicer. His tests can be a little difficult but he gives you lots to help study. The class can be boring though, but it is accounting...
Dub Thomas is the best Professor ever. If he is an option, take financial with him or you're just dumb. Homeboy has mad skills b. I did practically nothing but go to class and do the (easy) projects and got a B in the class. Whats even more amazing is that I learned everything! Accounting truly is the most important class in the world, thanks Dub T
I love you wayne thomas. you are my idol
Wow. One of the best teachers ever! Crystal clear, very helpful, funny, nice. Everything you want in a prof!
AWESOME TEACHER. It was a hard class but Wayne Thomas truly wants everyone of his students to succeed. Very helpful and clear. Really funny and nice guy. I enjoyed going to that class every day. I would HIGHLY recommend taking accounting with Wayne Thomas!
Totally funny.
The class was pretty difficult for me, but Wayne Thomas is HOT and a really good teacher. Very helpful and really cares about students.
Dr. Thomas is the BEST professor I have ever had. He is hilarious and makes accounting fun. There is online hw 2 days a week and attendance is mandatory, but it is definitely worth it. I go to every class and enjoy every moment, all because of Wayne. I cannot rate him high enough. TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Professor Thomas was the best teacher I have ever had. He took great interest in his course and in his students. He makes the class enjoyable and educational, he is open to criticism(though you won't have any) and very approachable. He will give you all the help you need to succeed in the class if you put your effort in to it. I rate him 5/5,
Any business major will tell you that Professor Thomas is their all time favorite professor. He is the nicest, funniest, most interesting professor you will have and even if you hate accounting, you will love going to his class. His lectures are hilarious, the homework is cake, and his tests are pretty easy. Should be an easy A for you.
Allows students to repeat the after-class homework until they have a perfect score. This class takes time. Professor Thomas goes over what will be on the test the class period before every test. He makes accounting seem simple. If you want a good grade, *do the bonus homework* and use LearnSmart.
Best professor I've ever had. He really cares about his class. Notes packet is available from a print shop for about $9. Book is used for 3 accounting projects, but he goes over all of them in class, so you really only need it to study for tests or a missed class. Homework is easy. Reviews before each test. He gave a 2 week review for the final.
Wayne is a great teacher. Before each class he reads anonymous course comments and the way he responds is hilarious. Homework is easy, material gets difficult as the semester progresses (Wayne explains it pretty well though), Tests are pretty easy. (just a little tricky). Wayne really cares and saying he is a great teacher is a understatement!
everyone LOVES Dr. Thomas. He is so nice, helpful, passionate about his subject and very clear about tests & grading. awesom professor
I'm a junior, and Dr. Thomas is the best professor I've had at OU. He cares more than any professor and even incorporates applicable life lessons into lectures. He is all of the good things about your dad and is funny at the same time. I honestly wish I were he. Take his class or you may never know what college is supposed to be.
Prof. Thomas's class is really enjoyable! He does everything he can to help. There are three tests, three projects, homework, and extra credit offered. You don't HAVE to use the textbook but it is good for clearing up information. He is always so willing to help. Just like any class, put it in the effort, go to class.
Dr. Thomas is most likely going to be the best professor you will ever have. My friend switched her major to accounting just so she could have him as a teacher again. Definitely take this for your honors credit if you can, there is no extra work from the regular class. He is so helpful, kind, and cares about the students.
This professor made Accounting my most fun class of the semester. I definitely want to try and get his other Accounting classes here at OU. I highly recommend taking his courses because he genuinely cares for the success of his students and wants you to be successful while also a master of the material.
Dr. Thomas is such a great guy. He includes lots of life advice throughout his lectures, and it's spot on. I had taken introductory accounting in high school so the class wasn't very tough for me, but some of my classmates who hadn't seen it before struggled more. Still, he and his TAs are available for help if you need it. I recommend him!
Great teacher
Unbelievable. The guy cares about students more then any other professor I have ever had. He makes an incredibly boring subject super exciting. His tests are tough but he gives a tests files. He never takes himself too seriously and basically spends 15 minutes every class just chatting and making everyone feel important. I wish I could take it over
he's a great teacher that makes such a boring topic somewhat interesting. Although accounting isn't my thing he is a great professor and wish there were more of him on campus. He cares about your success. If you want a good grade in this class you have to work for it and he will be there to help. attendance is important!! and always do your HW!!
Dr. Thomas like everyone else says, may be the best professor/teacher you have had or will ever have. He understands not everyone is an Accounting major and just wants all of his students to do the best they can by learning the basics of the language of business! His course is extremely organized, he's fair, and truly cares about his students.
Professor Thomas is the best. Account can be difficult, but professor Thomas make it much clearer and easier to understand. His lectures are very organized and he creates a notes packet for you. Though his tests can be tough they are multiple choice and not impossible.
Dr. Thomas deserves tons of praise for the effort he puts into ensuring student success & the genuine care he displays for all of his students. He is very generous with his extra credit and alway willing to help. Passionate about accounting but understanding of those who struggle with the concepts. One of the best professors I have ever had.
The best professor I've ever had, by far. Go to his office hours and he'll sit down and help you until you understand. Very nice and makes lectures interesting, definitely helpful to go to class. Do the homework, it's a big part of your grade and can make the difference.
He freakin rocks. He is super nice and always willing to help. Always go to his office hours, he is super super helpful
Thomas is one of the best professors I've had at OU. He's very caring and is super helpful. Buy the note packet at the beginning of the semester because they are helpful. He makes accounting fun and his passion for what he does makes the class bearable. He takes attendance and your notes rely on you going to class so if you don't go you won't pass.
Professor Thomas is the man. He sets the class up for students to succeed--Allows unlimited chances on homework, works through online projects in class, goes through most missed test questions. It kind of feels like you disappoint him if you don't try your best. Best professor I've had at OU.
This was my favorite college course I've ever taken. Dr. Thomas was highly entertaining and even rapped for us in class. His lectures were very straight forward and he keeps the class engaged. TAKE HIS CLASS. You will not regret it.
He prepares you well for the exams. He is always willing to answer your questions.
He is the absolute best professor you could imagine. He truly enjoys accounting and has a way of making everyone else care about accounting too! He is committed to making sure anyone who wants to understand can understand. He is more than fair on his exams and homework. Also tries to be very understanding of the students and their college lives.
Honestly the most caring and pleasant professor I've ever had. He is a great teacher and his class is almost never a drag. He takes a boring subject like accounting and makes it interesting. It was one of my most challenging business 5 courses but he made it truly a great experience. OU is lucky to have this guy.
This professor is amazing. He sets up the class in a way that makes sense to those who don't immediately understand the material. He's an awesome professor but an even better person. He truly wants everyone to succeed. Straight up, solid dude who cares for everybody.
Best Accounting Professor!! He is the best it is nor him that is tough it's the class in general there's so much information to learn, but he makes it so easy and going to his office hours are truly helpful TAKE BROSKIE BIG WAYNE!!!
Professor Thomas is the best professor I have had at OU so far, and I'm a senior, so that's got to tell you something! He makes accounting so intriguing that you'll want to be an accounting major when you are through with his class, like me! The key to passing his class is to do all of your assignments on time and going to class every day! :)
Dr. Thomas is not only one of the best professors you will ever have, but one of the best people you will ever meet. So caring, funny, and smart. Difficult subject, but he will do everything to make sure you understand. TAKE DR. THOMAS
Wayne Thomas is the best professor in the Price College of Business. He is so sweet and actually cares about what you get out of the class and wants you to succeed. He understands that not everyone likes accounting as much as he does but by the end of the semester you'll love the class just because of him. He is THE BEST!
Professor Thomas is definitely the most genuine professor I've ever had. He really does care about all his students, and he's an all-around great guy. He sets up a study notes packet that you fill in during lecture that's really helpful for homework/tests. He also goes over test questions that you're likely to have again. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Dr. Thomas has got to be one of the best professors in Price College. He is down to Earth, truly willing to assist students, and makes his class enjoyable. Though I'm an accounting major, he made sure that he was teaching to incorporate all students. He even catered in Chick-fil-A one day for his honors section. I encourage you to take his class.
Wayne Thomas is the GOAT. Do the homework and go to class. He basically gives you the answers, so if you go to class there is no reason to not get an A.
He's so funny and makes accounting really easy to understand. He's genuinely a great guy and cares about his students alot. He does the homework with you in class and will go through in depth to make sure you understand it!
Wayne is amazing!!! He genuinely cares about you and your grade. He makes going to class enjoyable and I've truly learned so much from him. He teaches in a way where it makes sense for students and he's just amazing. Best teacher I've ever had.
Dr. Thomas is one of my favorite professors I've ever had. He is so passionate about accounting and makes class fun and enjoyable. He goes a little fast sometimes but is very helpful--he always works on homework and projects with us in class. The class can be tough but he really tries to make it manageable and he truly cares about his students.
Professor Thomas is the most caring professor I have ever had, he genuinely wants students to succeed. He raised the test average on every exam because we asked. He helps out a lot by helping to keep us organized. GREAT PROFESSOR
Accounting is a hard class, but Dr. Thomas is an amazing professor. He sometimes goes on tangents & tells stories about his family, but everything he has to say is so sweet. he gives extra credit quizzes for going to class and has given us extra credit to raise the average on the past 2 tests. not too much hw besides a couple connects due thursdays
made me laugh every class.
Wayne Thomas is hands down the best professor I've ever had. He does almost all of the homework/projects in class. He is the Dean of Price college and is teaching just because he loves it! Every teacher should learn from him. I took accounting last semester and had to drop it, but I made an A in this class.
Probably the best professor I've ever had. He makes accounting interesting and easy to understand. Show up to class and you will get a lot of extra credit. Not hard to get an A.
Dr. Thomas is the best professor I have taken at Oklahoma. He really cares about what he teaches and is very willing to give extra credit and work with the class through the homework. Take him!
Dr Thomas is a gift to this world. He loves his students and loves teaching accounting. He is an amazing teacher and makes you want to go to class. He does extra credit small quizzes that he does with you in class if you come, but you have to be in class to take the quiz! He is my favorite professor ive ever had he is a literal mr. rogers.
Dr. Thomas is by far my favorite professor! He understands that not everyone is good at accounting and really tries to be accessible and answer all questions asked. He cares for his students and you can see it. Attendance is not mandatory but go to do the extra credit quizzes. I also recommend going to action center tutoring. That helped a lot.
Professor Thomas is absolutely amazing! By far my favortie professor ever! Always makes you laugh and you can tell he really cares about his students and wants to help you learn and help you get the best grade possible in his class! Really a great professor! 10/10 recommended
By far the best professor that has ever existed. Ive attended 3 universities and hes the best professor Ive ever had. Hes hilarious, an amazing teacher. He wants you to understand what hes teaching. Hes amazingly humble for how brilliant he is. I cant say enough good things.
WAYNE THOMAS IS A GOD SENT!!!! I was so scared for accounting & he is hands down the best professor I have ever had. Such a genuine human and really wants you to learn and do great. A phenomenal human and professor.
Such an Amazing man. ACCT 2113 is a course required for most business majors so getting ACCT 2113 with Dr. Wayne is a privilege. He's an Amazing lecturer. He makes you want to show up to class. He walks through a good chunk of the homework with you. He gives great life advice. Class is fun, enjoyable, and informative. Couldn't ask for more.
prof Thomas is literally the best. I'm not good at accounting, but i really enjoyed his class because he's so nice and really, truly wants everyone to do well. He does homework with you in class and actually listens to comments that students make. take his class!!
Professor Thomas is far and away the best professor I have had at OU. He cares about his students and he is passionate about what he teaches. Not to mention the life advice he gives. You will not regret taking a class with Professor Thomas.
Wayne Thomas is 100% the best professor I have ever had. This class is based on tests and homework, but he does the homework with you. He is very caring and I wish I could have him as a teacher again. NO MATTER WHAT TIME THE CLASS IS PLEASE TAKE HIM. you wont regret it and if you do its because you just dont come to class.
Great guy, great teacher
Wayne Thomas is the best ACCT 2113 teacher that you can get. I would highly recommend taking his class if possible. I took his class through Zoom and it was super easy. Wayne Thomas is also just a really fun and great teacher. The class is done through McGraw Hill Assignments and he works out your homework during the lectures that are recorded.
Wayne Thomas is amazing - he is genuinely so kind, helpful, and wants to see his students succeed both in and out of the classroom. It's worth waiting to take his course in the fall (he doesn't teach ACCT 2113 in spring). This course is hard but he works through homework in class and is super accessible. Take him if you can!!!
Professor Thomas is hands down the best professor at OU. He genuinely cares about students and wants to see them succeed. He does a short lecture and then completes a majority, if not all, of the homework with you so you can ask him questions during class time. He records the lectures too if you can't attend. He also gives amazing life advice!
Professor Thomas is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. He's kind, patient, and explains things very clearly. You can tell he genuinely loves accounting and loves teaching students. He made the content interesting to learn about and always helped us with the homework during lecture!
Professor Thomas was a professor that absolutely made my accounting class worthwhile for me. He genuinely cares about both the content and his students and he has a personality that makes his classes enjoyable to be a part of. He's prompt with his email responses, and is always ready to you if you reach out. 10/10 would have him again.
This man is one of the nicest people I have ever met + one of the most dedicated profs in Price. On the day of my final exam I completely missed my test by a full 24 hours because of my inability to read my testing schedule and he completely understood and opened it back up for full credit because I emailed him while sobbing in my shower.
Wayne helps you finish the homework assignments in class, he truly cares about his students, and he gives lots of resources that help you study for the tests.
What I chose for the tags does not do justice. Professor Thomas is one of the best, if not the best professor so far in my collegiate career. He is very clear, takes his time, waits on the student, and will do anything to help you pass. If I had the chance to take him again I would. Always listen to his advice!
Professor Thomas is my favorite professor so far. Accounting is not my thing, however, professor Thomas made the class very fun. There are two homework assignments each week, however, he does them with you in class. The tests are not very difficult, as long as you do homeworks. Truly going to miss Professor Thomas's class! TAKE HIM
The best professor Ive ever had in my life. He is patient, compassionate, humorous, understanding, and willing to work with you. If you dont pass its entirely on you. He makes accounting so so easy to understand, and will help as long as it takes for it to make sense to you. He will make your semester worth while.
Definitely one of the best classes I've taken at OU. Professor Thomas genuinely cares about his students and wants all of them to succeed. He is flexible and enthusiastically welcomes feedback from students to improve the learning experience. He is also very understanding of students and is willing to do whatever he can to help.
Best! Professor! Ever!!! Professor Thomas really cares about his student's success and will help anytime if you are struggling. He is honest, transparent, and a genuine guy during class and always gives great advice. Also, he understands the tough circumstances that we are all in. I would 100/10 recommend Professor Thomas!
By far my favorite teacher I have ever had! If you have the chance to take him, please do! You will not be disappointed!! I would take his class over and over again just to get to enjoy his lectures!
Wayne Thomas is the Best Professor at OU. If you can take him for any class in accounting than you should.
Wayne is the GOAT! Go to class! You cant fail.
He is so inspiring and really cares about his students and career as a professor. It is hard to not care about accounting when he is teaching, and it really fosters a great learning environment for Freshmen.
I had him fall of 2020, and looking back I really took him for granted. Cares about his students success and overall great guy/professor. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but I enjoyed going, and he also does homework problems in class. I wish I could have Wayne for all of my accounting classes. The accounting department needs more professors like him.
One of the best professors that I have ever had. If you put in the effort you will do well in the class.
The course itself was challenging, but Professor Thomas provides great resources and is always willing to help if you have questions. I highly recommend this professor to anyone taking an accounting class.
The GOAT. If you have to take accounting, take hime.
Wayne is a really nice guy, a terrible teacher. The whole class did so badly that he hid the class average b/c so many people failed - he had to add a 12 point curve. He doesn't hand out study guides, the class is fine but the exams rock everyone's world. Hes so sweet but the knowledge does not come through and you will struggle.
Wayne is an awesome guy, there's a couple of concepts I didn't really understand that I felt he could have taught better, but he is the most genuine guy to talk too.
This is the first professor that I have written about on here and there is a very good reason. He is the nicest guy ever! The lectures are just guided notes, I never had to read the textbook once. He loves accounting and wants everyone in the class to succeed. He loves feedback and if you DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS TO STUDY, you will get a good grade
This was the most sweetest professor I've ever had. He's so passionate about the subject that it's almost infectious. If you listen, you will understand it. Even if you get lost, he will always help you out (after class/office hours). He's sometimes a little fast with the material, but he's also quick to respond to emails.
He is a kind man! He is always looking for ways to help his students succeed. He made accounting a fun class to take. Overall, super great guy and would 10000% recommend his class!
THE GOAT! Do the practice problems and practice multiple choice questions in Mcgrawhill that he gives you and you'll do well on the exams. He's such a great funny guy and makes you actually interested in the class! Definitely take him over anyone else trust
He is a great professor, probably the best you are gonna get for financial accounting. It is a difficult class, but he makes it easier to understand. He posts videos covering the weekly homework's, which are the best. He is such a wholesome guy. One of the best professors I've had. He cares about his students a lot and wants them to succeed.
I loved Professor Thomas so much. I was super nervous about taking accounting but I'm finishing with a 97 in the class. Make sure to attend class so homework isn't that hard. He's super attentive and makes a point to answer everyone's questions so don't be afraid to ask. Definitely do the practice problems before exams and you should have an A.
This professor is the equivalent to Mr. Rogers with how kind, upbeat, and positive he is. He is always willing to add or get rid of things that the class says are too tough or unfair, and his lectures are always fun and entertaining. If you want to take an accounting course and enjoy it, take Professor Thomas.
Dr. Thomas is by far the most caring and kind professor I have had. He truly has his students best interest in mind. However, this class is hard and requires a lot of time outside of class. He does tend to move very fast and it can be hard to keep up with him. Don't be like me and fail the first exam use 405 tutoring. Would absolutely take again.
He's a kind professor who truly cares about the student, but the way he teaches is just a way I have trouble learning from. He usually just reads from a powerpoint which is fine sometimes, but he speeds through them at light speed which makes it difficult to process what he says and gives us.
the sweetest man ever. truly wants to see everyone succeed. accounting isn't an easy class but he makes it enjoyable and explains it well. he tries is very best to listen to everyones input and make the class more tailored to what will help us. 10/10 professor 4/10 class
Great teacher and great guy highly recommend.
Extremely genuine guy and cares a lot about his students and their success in the class. A good grade is very achievable if you go to every class and actually pay attention to the assignments rather than just using online resources. Would 100% take him again I wish he could be my professor for every accounting class I take.
All you need to do in this class is to study the booklet and work on the practice questions on McConnect. He mentions that he does not want the exam to be hard for students and HE MEANS IT !!! Go to your lectures and do your homework and is an easy class with the most warm-hearted teacher ever :)
Dr. Wayne is amazing. Best professor I have ever had at OU for accounting. He really means that he wants his students to succeed. THE BOOKLET that is used for notes is KEY for a good grades on homework and for the exams. Study the questions on the HW and the booklet and you will get and A. He takes his time "to dumb it down" on everything!
Great professor, pay attention in class for the daily check-ins. He rewards students by making it possible to achieve the grade they want by how much work they put in.
AMAZING! Best professor at OU! He truly wants the best for his students and cares a lot about what he does. Do not take any other professor but him! He is all about love and you can see it throughout his class and he makes class fun and interesting as well so it is something you want to go to.
He is extremely kind and wants you to succeed, not just in accounting, but in life as well.
literally love this class the best one ever!!! always looked forward to going to class
There is a reason why he has so many good reviews!!! I literally have tried to see if there is any other class that he teaches besides Financial Acct since he is soo goodd!! He explains everything to the last detail to things that might seem stupid, but he truly wants you to learn! Would love to have ALL my classes with him
mrs. thomas
The nicest teacher I have ever had. Somewhat of a difficult class for me, but he does really care about his students. Lots of in class quizzes that boost your grade.
This was my second time trying to take accounting and Professor Thomas made me actually understand it. the first time I dropped with a 68% and a different professor. Now I have a 96% and could actually do this on my own. His lectures are material heavy but no busy work, and he gives some HW answers. He is a great professor overall.
He is so respectful and genuinely wants the best for all of his students. As an accounting major, he has taught me so much and makes me look forward to learning more. The class isn't the easiest, but if you go to class, pay attention, and study for the tests, you will have an A. Professor Wayne is funny and caring.
one of the absolute best professors i've ever had! if you have to take ACCT 2113 I urge you to take him! he is the best!!
this is one of the best professors ive ever had at college, and im so sad he doesn't teach managerial accounting. he is so thoughtful and really wants everyone to succeed, you just have to be willing to be self-diligent with the coursework and apply yourself!
I loved him. He made a boring class very interesting.
He's a good person and wants you to succeed, but he's not a good teacher. I had to teach myself everything.
One of the most caring professors I've had in college. He genuinely wants students to succeed and is very supportive. The material is challenging and test-heavy, so start office hours early to avoid falling behind. He posts helpful videos for homework and practice problems that make learning much easier.
Show up to class, although attendance technically is not required, there are quizzes almost every day (automatic 100s for doing them). Going in to this class, I had zero clue about accounting, and thought it would be awful. Although this class challenged me, I am heavily considering switching my major to accounting after taking this class.
Genuinely one of the best professors I've had. Had zero cool about anything accounting related, ending with a 96 and am considering adding it as a minor. He cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. 100% recommend
great professor very approachable for questions.
Dr. Thomas is the very best. He is extremely helpful and wants everyone to succeed. My favorite professor I've had at OU so far! He made me love accounting!!
