You can get your accounting units from many classes. But DON'T take Bob's Audit class. Even if you liked him in 3A and 136A... Just trust me on this one, it's a terrible class.

Even if you liked him in 3A and 136A, don't bother with his auditing class. You'll regret it, trust me. Get your accounting units elsewhere.

He's an awesome professor - good at relating things to the real world. He is engaging and funny. BUT!!!! DO NOT go to office hours. He was just really mean and not helpful at all!!!!!! He will just embarrass you, and you will feel stupid. In class: GREAT! - in person: NOT

Bob sucks at lecturing he goes off on tangents and you never know what will be on the test from his lectures. He has a million practice tests on the his website, though. Just use those to study with and you'll have no problems.

Bob is a great guy and a really good teacher. He tends to relate the boring world of accounting to real world examples and makes it interesting. Make sure to take his auditing class.

He talks about himself too much instead of lecturing!!! It's annoying!

Try to take 136A with ANYONE else

Full of himself

did not like this class with this professor

He's a mess. Goes off on tangents for the whole class and teaches you nothing that you need to know. He's a nice class but not a great teacher. Too bad I have to take him again.

he's just awesome.a great professor.get to know the guy..if you think his jokes are lame in the beginning, give him a chance and he'll grow on you. Extremely helpful with questions, go to office hrs if you need help. He's a bit awkward at times, but thats just bob.for midterms: memorize lecture notes/do practice tests.*WARNING:The final is hard.

For those of you who are considering Acct major, if you think Bob is hard, then i think you should really think about if you want to change your major, because you have no chance at all to pass the CPA exam. The world out there isnt for your guys, go back to your kiddy garden.

Bob is a great instructor. Just practice prior exams and your are set for the final and midterms

Hilarious guy. Knows the material and explains it in a fun and understandable way. Its not an easy class but you will learn a lot.

Very good teacher. Keeps lectures to the point and uses the board and projector.

Effectively uses powerpoint, presents the material in a relevant manner,and always seems to be in a good mood. Unlike most Econ professors, Anderson does not have a ridiculous ego and is relatively proficient at teaching, not research.

Bob is good anyway

Excellent professor with a lot of experience in accounting. Obviously knows the topic very well & provides great and hilarious stories during lectures. Also helpful during office hours & always responds to your email/calls/questions immediately. One of the few professors who knows how to use a combo of PowerPoint slides & the board effectively.

professor is hard. material is easy enough, but lots of busy work. assigns stupid, unclear, misleading project. when you ask him for help he is very vague and just says "answer the question", then marks you down when you aren't wordy and superflous in your answer.

the first midterm was alright. second midterm was completely different from the exams from previous years. final was different as well. final was hard! make sure you do the lab early. i waited until the last minute and it wasn't very fun. I finished though.

Bob is the best accounting teacher I've had so far at UCSB! He makes the class very interesting, and he's really funny guy. You can call him whenever you want and he actually answers his phone and is wiling to help you. I actually really wanted to go to class at 9:30am every time to hear him lecture. Also, he lets us out 20 mins early most days.

The best accounting teacher I have encountered thus far at UCSB. At 8 AM the class is actually pretty interesting, which is quite an accomplishment. He is straight-forward and very clear with his expactations. His tests are very fair. You'll learn alot, or at least I did. Reccomended.

Do all of the old tests, he recycles a lot of questions. He doesn't deviate from it very far, except during the first exam. First exam is hard but after that, it's okay. Do the honors section if you have time, you'll learn a lot of "real-world" advice from him. Do well in the homework, don't write it off, it may make a +/- difference.
