He's passionate about accounting and really does try to teach the stuff. But why in the world did he put so much material about something that wasn't even taught in the textbook, videos, nor TAs on the final? Material isn't updated which is annoying but fine, but adding all that unknown stuff that we couldn't have learned at all wasn't right-
I did most of my learning outside of class, but I still went to lecture to hear his tangents, which I personally thought were interesting. Funny guy with a lot of things to say about accounting and life, and are worth hearing
Bob is certainly a man of many talents, and as his own biggest fan, he will definitely make sure you know that at least 4-5 times per lecture. Looking back on this course, I likely would take it again while also studying a bit more for the midterm. All in all, I would enjoy getting a beer with the guy, potentially to celebrate his 34th anniversary.
Definitely a funny guy and passionate about what he does. You can tell he knows a lot about accounting and is well qualified. make sure you're watching the videos outside of lecture even if you don't want to, I just put them in 2x speed and take notes and I feel well prepared for exams. Overall good professor
Bob Anderson is overhated
