This class is cake if you go to class, study old tests, and do the work you're assigned to do. Bob always gave good examples and showed us step by step how to do each problem that would be on the tests, not to mention what would be on the tests. How much easier can it get? There's also nothing wrong with professors sharing notes, many do.

Somewhat of a has-been who really can't teach to save his life. Would rather reminisce about when he was a supposedly studly surfer. His graphs and handwriting are extremely sloppy and unclear, and his only study materials are HARMON'S slides. Are you kidding me? Take with Harmon if possible, you'll learn a lot more than with this "dude."

A horrible teacher and suprised that he is able to be a teacher in UCSB! Doesn't know how to teach, use Professor Harmon's slides as his teaching materials. Does not do his job well at all.

This class was not hard. The final was a bit long with time constraint. But after all there was a generous curve. I think Bob did a great job in econ 132. I think we all need to appreciate the fact that he tried to make the class somewhat entertaining while still tailoring it to prepare us for the CPA exam. Great prof. with real world experience.

Great Class with an awesome Professor. All the idiots who are saying he didn't tell you what to memorize need to figure it out. He did a great job incorporating real world experience in with the material and really focused on preparing us for the CPA exam. Material was pretty boring but if you went to lecture it made a lot of sense.

terrible class. there was no guidance as to what the heck we were supposed to read and or memorize for the exams. it was hodge-podge with the slides being basically useless. take another acct elective

There was alot of material to know, and he gave very little guidance as to what we needed to study. He did not do a good job in 132.

I had himfor 136A and this class is much more difficult. He says he wants to prepare us for the CPA exam and I think he did that. He knows a LOT about audit and brings a lot of real-world into the class. Not an easy class, but I think it is worth it to learn for the CPA exam.

I don't know whether summer does give an excuse, but Anderson is not being resposible for the class. There are tons of stuff to memorize. Anderson always skips all the slides, and I don't know which I need to study and which I don't. He said the final is not cummulative, but I can find stuff that are from the previous exam in the final.

Would not recommend!

Anderson is a great professor. He is very clear in presenting the material and VERY straight forward on the tests. His tests are 50% MC and 50% problems. He pretty much tells you what the problems are throughout lecture. MC is easy if u read the chapters enough times. Would definatly recommend!

Best professor i've taken at UCSB. Down to earth. Rides a long board to class. Tests are 50/50 multi choice/workout problems. MC is harder than problems if you prepare. Very fair. Funny stories and makes Acctg interesting. I would even suggest taking his Hnrs section even if your not in hnrs.

He is a very easy going guy.

Anderson is a great guy, the type you hope your boss will be. lectures are about as good as accounting lectures can be. I felt lost on tests, no practice tests and the form on exams look nothing like lectures. Also, focus the HW a little, giving suggest problems 1-30 skipping 18 is not helpful.

easy to talk to

This guy is great. He is interested in the material, so he is a fascinating teacher. Lots of fun in class, and difficult but fair tests. He constantly messes up his examples and slides in class, but it is not a big deal because some nerd always corrects him and he fixes it.

this guy's great. best professor i've had.

Great teacher. He responds quickly to emails and you can call him if you have any questions. Midterm/Final are pretty fair. You know what to expect for the problem portion, but the multiple choice is sometimes tricky (worth 50 percent of midterm/final)

He says to call him "Bob" which is like his approach- friendly and personable. The content is boring, but he makes it fun and interesting. He is the best professor I have had at UCSB despite the fact that he insists that he is not a "pro

Very clear and presents in a way that is very understandable. He is very approachable and makes a would be boring class pretty interesting. He really seems to care about whether we learn and that makes his class interesting. AND he is nice to look at!
