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.

This class involves a lot of memorizing of rules and procedures. Overall an ok professor. I liked him better for 136A. This class is probably one of the more boring of the accounting classes.

Excellent professor. Easy to talk to and very helpful.

Class is a waste, half the time he talks about what he did at KPMG or what he does at RAFS. Tests are hard but should not be because not tha many concepts. questions are either straight memorization or very vague application CPA style questions. Says he does it to help prep for CPA but you wont walk out of class prepared for the auditing section.

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.
