He gives old tests with mcqs that have NOTHING to do with the final so you basically go into the midterm and final blind (aside from final frqs) I attended every lecture and it didn't do much help he just rambles instead of answering questions directly, making it more confusing. Make sure to do good on hw and quizzes and go to section

GO TO CLASS!!! yes he rambles sometimes but something that may seem unimportant can appear on a test. For the final, I honestly did not study too much (like 5-6ish hours the night before) and aced it, so my biggest recommendation if you want to do well is to simply to GO TO LECTURE. I also recommend scimming over the textbook.

Bob is the best professor I've had at UCSB so far. He genuinely cares for his students and often goes on tangents about important things for college students to know that are not often taught (investing advice, etc.). He wants his students to do well professionally and has structured his course in that way. Tests can be difficult, study hard.

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE! Bob's class tanked my GPA and I put an insane amount of time into studying for the final. He rambles about random (boring) things during lecture and his final is excruciatingly hard. Literally hate this man.

I hate this man, nothing he mentioned in class is related to the exam, and his exam is extremely hard and you have no idea how to prepare it. Especially the MCQ questions.

Recommend this class to everyone in the economics department! Yes you have to put a lot of time in if you want a high grade but so worth it. Bob makes the lectures as engaging as accounting can be and is really focused on the significance of learning the accounting language. Utilize your TAs to help learn the material.
