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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
