Didn't love him, but he teaches you accounting. Go to class as to not miss the trivia he puts on the tests. Class was difficult, but with proper studying and practice, you can definitely get an A. It's clear what to expect on exams, even if he throws in random curveballs.

Overall, this class gave me a good foundation for accounting basics. But I feel like his lecture style will not be everyone's cup of tea. He goes on lots of tangents to answer the most basic questions. Although lecture attendance isn't mandatory, you should go, as he mentions things in lectures that he doesn't in his prerecorded lectures.

Didn't love him, in fact I think he's a bit full of himself, but he makes you learn accounting. Not easy for sure but you learn a lot. Go to class or you'll miss his trivia that is on the tests. Watch all videos and read whole textbook. Understand HW. Study & practice. With this combo you can snag an A.

You will learn a lot. Just watch the pre lecture videos ON TIME and show up to class. Yes he goes on tangents about random things but if you sit in the front and pay attention you will remember it more and he may or may not add random knowledge to the tests. Going to class is not mandatory but I would recommend it.

He's very honest about what he expects from students. Tells you for the most part what will be on the test and includes free questions that you get if you go to lecture. Lecture was very interesting and I rarely felt bored. This class requires a lot of effort but if you put in the work you can get a good grade.

Honestly, I don't understand the hate that Bob gets. People say he doesn't teach... but he does. Yes you have to read the textbooks and do extra practice problems... it's an important class for the premajor. Super easy to get 100% on excel project. Just read the textbooks and practice problems over and over again and you'll be fine
