He is a really good teacher and will keep the lectures entertaining. This class got me really interested in accounting. The class is relatively easy except the curve got me and when I thought I would get an A, I actually got a B. But other than that, i enjoyed it

Best teacher ever!! i didnt miss not one day of this class. hes a great speaker so i never get bored in class and he knows the material well. although he goes off on tangents sometimes, hes funny and wont test material that hasnt been taught. Loved this class

A horrible teacher, AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. Trust me, if you really want to get a good grade while majoring in accounting, avoid him and find another teacher. Studied his past midterms, readings, lectures, and I still got a low D in the end. If you take him, be prepared, he will give you a real hard time, and he won't even look at your effort.

Worst accounting teacher I had ever have. His method of teaching is almost useless, his lectures are horrible, and the method of actually studying for either the midterm or final is impossible to actually dicern; studying past midterms and doing the reading will result a C. Bob will likley discourage you from ever taking a carrer in accounting.

I became very interested in accounting after this course. However, the curve for this econ class was especially ridiculous. It was even said that he had to make the 2nd midterm and final a lot more difficult because most of the class did reall ywell on the 1st midterm and he had to round people down. Cool professor though, long boards to lecture.

Great Professor and an overall good guy. Appreciated his willingness to help students and is clear. Also a pretty funny guy. Made me more interested in pursuing an Accounting career.

I rather enjoyed the class. He makes the topic pretty interesting and is clear in his lectures. The old exams for the two midterms are extremely helpful, so make sure you study those. Final is pretty tough though.

Nice and fun professor. Study the past exams, but there will be some new multiple choice questions that are not so obvious. TAs are undergrads and often not that helpful. The class really is not that hard, but beware of the department curve. I hate that. I'm an English major but still managed an A-. I recommend reading the textbook.

Just like 3A, study the practice midterms and you will def get at least a B. Tip: Study his slides too; he'll put something random from there on the midterm. Also, the final had 40+ journal entries. Be sure to study those in depth. They go back to things covered in 3a so refresh the OLD material. This class wasn't too hard. Study and you'll do fine

I think I'm the only one who doesn't like him. I didn't even bother going to lectures.I didn't try because I'm not interested in Accounting but still got a B+ for the class because lecture slides, CLAS & past exams are really helpful.

Bob is one of my favourite professors at UCSB so far. He's incredibly interesting and makes accounting practical and entertaining. One great thing he does (that all other professors should do) is poll the class on whether they understood a new concept or if he should rephrase it. Past exams are VERY useful. Use them. Midterms/Final extremely fair.

Very good teacher. Funny and entertaning. Online quizzes and assignments are doable you just need the book. Midterm and Final were fair, but you have to study. Very cool guy, makes things interesting.

Purposely didn't teach 50% of material tested just to get a nice distribution of grades. Students in UCSB don't understand what a good accounting professor is because they have never seen a good one. There isn't a good one in UCSB. This teadcher is a student's enemy. Very stubborn and will not help even if you are one inch of graduation.

One of the best professors at UCSB. He really cares about his students and will do anything to make sure u understand the material, all u gotta do is ask! Practice on his previous exams and u will do fine. Textbook is pointless to read so dont bother. If u want an A in this class just show up to his lectures, take notes and practice!!!

Good professor, friendly and interesting to listen too. Provides great examples and makes sure that the most important information you need to know is given to you. Do practice exams and you will be fine.

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.

Bob Anderson is the best!! Listen to him during lectures and do the practice exams and you will get a good grade. One of my favorite professors!

Bob is a great teacher. He makes a typically "boring" subject interesting. If you read the book and review his lectures, plus do the practice tests, which are nearly identical to the test, you'll do fine. The grade curve that the econ department sets is a bit of a burn but I really loved his class and wish he taught 3B too.

He is funny and entertaining in class. The thing that helped me the best was doing the practice midterms. Know everything from past midterms he posts and you will do find on the actual one. The one time I went to office hours he was not that nice or helpful, but the TAs are more than willing to help. CLAS also helped a lot with this class.

Great teacher that explains everything clearly. Not the easiest class but if you do the work and pay attention you're fine

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 is a really bad teacher. the tests all seem easy, only to get a c. his lectures are absolutely useless

I like Bob as a person but I hated him as a teacher. He was tangental, didn't provide students with notes that were that beneficial. I would study for his midterms and feel confident only to get Cs on all of my tests. I took the class Pass Fail so it worked out fine but his teaching style just wasn't for me.

Bob's lectures are somewhat interesting. Most of the material from the midterms and test are from the hw online. Just study the book and study the examples Bob gives you and you will do fine in this class.
