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.

Zackrison is solid, but he gets quite a few things wrong and refuses to correct himself or admit he is wrong. Nobody really notices anyway. He is fair and good overall

Zackerison is a super engaging lecturer and provides excellent examples and case studies in class. 120 is structured for students to participate and collaborate with one another. Be prepared to work with other students and pray that you get a great team. He brushes over CAPSIM and it's super difficult to understand so be prepared to troubleshoot
