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 seems like a good guy when he's lecturing--funny, down to earth, nice--but when you meet him in person or when he emails you back, he seems like a complete ****. office hours dont really help since he looks at you like you're stupid.

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 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.
