I ended up really liking Bob. knew nothing about audit going in, but put in a decent/usual amount of work and got an A. He actually made me more interested in audit and I enjoyed his personal stories. The only thing I did poorly on was the simulation assignment, I didn't really feel like there was clear instruction on how to do it. maybe the point

I took his class as a junior already in the econ department just to learn about accounting and I really enjoyed it. Bob explains the material well and interacts well with his students during zoom. He keeps it real and is hard but is fair and helpful. I could see as a freshman this class it would be hard but once you take other classes its not bad

If you're looking for an easy class this isn't it. The material itself isn't too difficult, but you need to have mastered the material to do well on quizzes and finals. He's very strict which is good in a way since he offers valuable real-world advice, but there is no sympathy or slacking allowed in this class. Don't fall behind!

This guy is a decent professor but at the end of the day hes not coming through for the student when you most need him. He lacks integrity and compassion and for those reasons Im out.

Bob can be strict and mean at times, but he isn't a horrible guy. The homework and quizzes aren't too bad. The first exam was difficult and given in an unreasonable amount of time, but he was more reasonable on the final. He gives out a lot of tips during lecture on how to be efficient during the exams so I would attend those.

Exam 2 was told two days before, and he never answers your questions clearly. Also, he focuses on a lot of outside material rather than explains the actual lecture material. He talks too much about his anecdote, and it's a waste of time to listen. BE PREPARED TO USE EXCEL!!!!!!

He is absolutely not caring for students, and he expects us to be professional accountants like he does. Exam 1 was an impossible exam to complete due to limited time. I can't believe that there is no curve for a class with an average of 45.3%. If any class has this average, professors should reflect on the class's teaching structure.

I took this class because it was a major requirement but after taking this class, I don't even think imma make it in. Quizzes were doable but were nothing compared to the exam. I'm paying money to learn the material, not how the real world works. This class will make or break you.

Did not manage the transition to online class well at all. Lectures are double headers, one is recorded and goes over the textbook and the other one is an hour of him being completely off topic from the material. Class average was a 50% on the midterm, he wouldn't curve and its Monday of finals week and he only just now told us the date/time

Near end of the class and wouldn't recommend, or if you need 3A make sure rest of schedule is easy. As an example the average on midterm was less than 50 percent and no curve. Finals in 2 days, and haven't been told the time or platform it'll be on. Says he want to prepare you for real world, but you need good grades to get a job in the real world.

He pretends not to be mean but he is an extremely mean person! He gives midterm in a time range which is impossible to complete, never answer your question clearly and tells you to look it up in the syllubus. He expect you to be a professional experienced accountant like he think himself is and deal with real life problem. Worst professor ever!

Bob Anderson does not like to put in the work to make sure exams are graded fairly by using the excuse of the "real world" and computer "impartiality." He can not respond to emails without being condescending either.

Bob Anderson exceeded my standards of how bad a professor can be. He waste time with useless anecdotes during class, refuses to change grading error for quizzes that weigh 60%, neglects the different circumstances his students may be going through, and makes tests ridiculously different from the usual quizzes making it near impossible to finish.

He is an amazing professor. Harsh but fair. His lecture is clear and well-articulated. But the class by no means is easy, he'll make you work for your grade. Very quiz heavy rather than exam (class taken online during COVID 19 )

Econ 3a is supposed to be hard, and accounting as a subject might not be for everyone. But Bob's lectures were so engaging and you can tell he's so passionate about it that you can help but let it influence you. He's such a hilarious guy.

Great professor. PLSSSSS attend class, it is easy points bc he will ask random questions that only people who attend the class will know.

He REALLY deviates from the topics a lot, telling a lot of side stories. He doesnt show up during his office hour. He makes every attempt to lower your grade if you ask for regrade. The worst thing is that hes inevitable, as only he teaches 3A.

Bob is blunt, which some people take as being rude. He is hilarious and asks a lot of rhetorical questions that lead into funny stories about his experience in public accounting and his own business. Do the practice midterms, he reuses questions on his exams. Literally just memorize the slides and this class is a breeze.

Bob is such a good prof. He's funny, blunt, and levels with students base level knowledge to help students understand concepts. If you pay attention to his lectures and supplement with the reading you can naturally learn and ace the exams. Im a first gen student and knew absolutely nothing going in but gained such an interest in accting bc of him.

Amazing lectures and definitely worth taking!

Just memorize everything and do the practice exams. The class really isnt that hard. The hmwk and simulation can be found on google. If youre actually invested in the class I think A/A- is very doable. I just think the teacher isnt my cup of tea.

Great Professor that lectures well and explains what is needed for tests really well. The class is fair you just got to do better than other people in the class. Great teacher though. Highly recommend if taking Econ 3A

Really nice prof who is great at giving lectures. Class is fair - not terribly difficult but requires you to put in some work.

Typical UC bureaucrat who gets a paycheck while not teaching students anything they couldn't learn on their own. Bob creates more work than necessary for the subject matter due to lack of clarity and the amount prep time it takes to study and pass his exams. My suggestion is to avoid him (if possible).
