Really good guy. Study the practice midterms he puts up, he repeats questions straight out of his old ones. The aplia homework is easy, everyone gets almost 100%. Sign up for CLAS with tony cipriano, he is helpful. Class is interesting with all of Bob's jokes. I would take a class with him again.

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

My favorite professor and econ class thus far. I've taken econ 1 and 2, didn't expect to like accounting. Now I'm seriously considering emphasizing in it. He has current professional experience in the field which is helpful and a nice change from the other professors. I'd highly recommend taking his class.

Try to take 136A with ANYONE else

His class is not "very" hard, but you still have to put some effort in it.

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 is an absolutely funny guy. loved him.would have dated him if i was older.you can get a straight A by just practicing his previous test. classes can get boring but he keeps you well entertained.

Does not ensure that he is on the same page as the rest of the class, leaves you lost hopeless and confused...worst class I've taken at UCSB by far, the textbook is useless (and $)and he attempts to cover too much material. His lectures are EXTREMELY incomprehensible and hard to take notes on, especially when trying to go back to study, DO NOT TAK

Easy midterms- posts old midterms to practice with, use them! Hard final- does not post old finals. Wiley Plus homework is annoying but easy to get 100%. Watch out for the final, he makes it very difficult to prevent the curve from being too high in the class.

Awesome professor. Old midterms, and power points are online. Most of the time he recycles his multiple choice and problems. Everything gone over in class if you read the book to go over material again, helps. Great professor take him if you get the chance!

I was scared about this class but thanks to Bob it ended up being my favorite class! He makes lectures fun and the slides are really helpful. He explains concepts with real world examples so that everything makes sense. He also goes over concepts constantly to make sure everyone understands. He's also very funny and often tells funny stories. A++

great professor. Post all previous midterms which makes studying a breeze. Makes a seemingly boring class interesting often goes off on tangents though. Take 3A with bob

he is such an amazing teacher he makes accounting really easy to understand and really cares about his students. he puts all the old midterms online so if you just do all of them before the midterms you will definitely ace the class. i definitely recommend him!

Bob is the best! For those of you complaining about boredom, it's accounting, he makes it as interesting as its gonna get. Great guy great class, you do need to study. But he gives you old midterms to study off of and if you know them you're golden.

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.

class is hard!! anderson is super boring and he doesn't help much either. do yourself a favor and don't take this class!

this was an awesome class with an awesome teacher

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.

He is a good professor. He posts practice tests that are pretty much the same as his current tests. He does throw in some random questions that have nothing to do with the subject and the only way you will know the answer is if you have gone to all the lectures.

He's a good teacher and funny too. All his slides are online so you dont have to take notes if you print them out. 2 midterms and final...he puts up practice midterms online. there are hw assignments online due before each class. Study, pay attention, and do practice problems and the A should be yours.

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

Bob is a friendly guy who makes every effort to ensure that his students are grasping the material. People **** about the class being hard because they think doing the online hw guarantees that they will do well. Accounting isn't super easy, but if you go to lecture, read, & actually do some practice problems besides the hw, you'll do fine.
