CollegeDaily participation is the majority of the grade, you should try to answer as many questions as possible which can be a drag sometimes. Do the readings and go through the study guide and the exams are very straightforward. The class content is interesting and he has a wide base of knowledge from his prior experiences.
Prof. Zackrison has no method to his teaching. Group work is really painful with the wrong team and he gets a power trip from assigning unfair grades for a class that should be straightforward. Most students balance busy schedules and cannot make this class their past present and future.
Zackrison is a bit goofy (in a bad way). Not a bad professor and enforces strict attendance and participation policies. Talks way too much and tries to sound smart, though he's not. Group work can be fun or awful depending on your team. Overall, not useless, but not as helpful as a real business or econ class.
His lectures are engaging and he's approachable after class. Case studies are fun to go through. A lot of the grade comes from group work and class participation. Some people might not like that, but I in my experience it allowed me to develop friendships with classmates. Make sure to communicate with your TA because they grade most assignments.

He does not know his stuff like he pretends he does, failing to correct himself on an error on a balance sheet that said current assets was higher than total assets, he said it was a tax thing corporate companies do, but it was just an error from the number he copied down. That is some BS, have some honor in your profession.
