Very nice and easy teacher. As long as you skim through the textbook and do your homework, you'll pretty much understand whatever he's talking about in class. He tries to get everyone to understand stuff though which can be a problem when one person is stuck on a particular problem and doesn't understand it for about an hour or so.

I took his class last semester and it was the most difficult class for that semester mind you I had Calculus that same semester. Im sure hes a good accountant but teaching is just not his thing. His way of teaching is him telling you to teach yourself. He gives no homework and no practices just extremely difficult tests. Good luck.

Professor Donnay is one of the best Professor in Accounting. If you don't understand something, he explains it to you as many times as necessary until you can catch the class. He has a good sense of humor and quite patient but he also asks us to follow his rules in class, such as not using cell phones, or being distracted talking to classmates

He is rather condescending and relies heavily on the textbook. Theory heavy and not enough practical application. Reads off the textbook. Lectures are unclear.

He doesn't teach well and doesn't respond to emails. The few times I was on the zoom lecture, I couldn't understand him very well and was rude to some students. He gave us a lot of work on Pearson that took a very long time to complete. I wouldn't recommend him if you actually want to learn accounting. The final was multiple choice and easy tho

Extremely rude. If you don't grasp the material right away he will laugh at you, literally. He makes fun of students. The class structure is basically you teaching yourself via textbook and then come to class with any questions, so basically he doesn't even teach, and when he does he isn't clear. Trust me don't take this class.

Be prepared to read alot. In order to understand Accounting you have to READ. Professor Donnay is a good professor. He can come off alittle rough at times but that is because this is college. If he sees you are trying and want to learn he will go the extra mile for you. You must come to class prepared and that is reading the chapter before class.

He doesn't provide graded homework or conduct any tests; the grade is on his hand 100%.I suggest you don't take his class.

This prof does not like online classroom setups, purposely makes the test harder under the assumption that everyone is " cheating" . Tests are two charters in 1 up to 50 questions . 30 questions minimum with " show your work" in between. Not a class you would want to take once a week there is a lot of info you can't cram .

First off, if you plan to teach yourself, you can enroll in this class. His way of teaching does not help you during tests. You must find your way of studying the book and preparing yourself for this class. His grading was not bad, it was based on test results and attendance was not mandatory. Do not recommend.

He definitely puts your learning in your own hands, which might be off-putting for younger students. Lots of reading on your own but plenty of opportunity to ask for clarity in class. Tests are fifty questions each and pretty simple if you have an understanding of the material. Don't expect to have your hand held for the semester!

This professor is horrible, throughout the semester he wants students to participate however when you ask questions or answer incorrectly, he laughs and or gives a sarcastic or rude remark in response. On top of that he also isn't the best at helping understand in class so you have to self teach yourself with the course online to understand

Prof. Donnay expects you to be on time to class and treats you like an adult. You must read before arriving to class, since class is focused on what you last read. He goes over it until you fully understand. 4 exams are giving throughout the whole semester. If you don't read, then the course will be difficult, don't fall behind. Great professor!

Honestly, the worst Professor I have ever witnessed. Specifically targets students who are having a trouble time learning the subject, encourages you to drop out if you don't understand Accounting. He tells you, to participate but when you try to answer and get it wrong. He laughs at you and says stop guessing in my class.

He also came to our final 45 minutes late and was upset with some of us for not being able to stay longer to make up for HIS lateness. He was also quite rude to some students.

I am in the middle of his semester right now and honestly wish I had dropped his class earlier. He makes fun of students and mocks them for asking "stupid" questions.
