Guest lecturer who refers to himself as a professor. Lots of homework and tests that seem to try and trip people up instead of teach them something. He says he runs training program and thats hard to believe based on his lack of teaching skills.

Course content doesn't always coincide with the text and discrepancies are common between material and slides. This can cause initial confusion with respect to knowing where to find correct answers. Always follow slides. He lacks proficient ability to provide clear instructions with respect to assignments and students are often confused.

Bob is one of the best accounting professors in the department. His lecture is engaging and thoughtful. Yes, he's tough and strict but that's his way of preparing you for the real world! Awesome class overall.

Bob is the goat, best teacher ive had at UCSB. He is kind of strict in certain things, but if you cant handle that then your are soft. straight up

Tests are MC, fill-in-the-blank and handwritten. Exams are tough but occasionally he'll throw in questions unrelated to Accounting that you'll know the answer to if you attend lecture. Tough class but great professor.

Bob is really mean. Do not request for re-grade because he would make all efforts to lower your grade. That's not fair.

Bob rocks. By far the best professor I've encountered thus far at UCSB. Yes the tests are hard and the curve sucks, but that's set by the Econ department, and Bob cares a lot about teaching you the material. Get into the Honors section if you can - it's a very eye-opening experience into the accounting world.

Bob is a good professor and the class is pretty straightforward, the only bad thing really is the curve. As long as you study the past exams and do plenty of practice problems you should be fine on the actual problems on the exams. However, you have to go to lectures because he throws in random facts that he will put on the exam to set the curve.

Bob is the man. Clear lectures and very helpful, sure the curve sucks but as long as you study and do all of the practice that is given to you, you can do well in this class. I thought this class was really interesting which i think made it easier for me. Get a good TA and study every week not just before the midterms and final.

Bob is the man. He is clear about what he'll test you on, and is very knowledgeable/experienced in the real world. Some people say he comes off strong/harsh, but that is because he truly cares about students and their learning. The pre-major curve sucks, but Bob sets it through the difficulty of exams so you should receive what your raw score is.

This class is hard- bob is a good professor but the class is very competitive and fast paced with a lot of independent extra work expected of you. That being said he is a fair guy and his form of extra credit is that he tests on random things he says in class that are irrelevant to the material e.g. his sons Halloween costume...

Econ 3A is by far the most interesting class in the Econ department that I have taken. Bob makes this class a lot more interesting and easy to learn because of the dense materials. He goes on a lot of tangents, but those random tangents somehow tie back to lecture?!?

He's a funny guy so the lectures won't bore you to death. However, the information presented is disorganized and the textbook (which sucks to read) doesn't complement the lectures at all. He doesn't prepare you for assignments and doesn't hand your work back so good luck figuring out why your grade is what it is. Thumbs down.

Bob is the man. He teaches you what he thinks is the most important material, so make sure you go to class so you know what will be on the test. He also goes on tangents frequently, but pay attention because they usually have some relevance to the course/tests.

Bob was genuinely entertaining- I loved the stories he told in lecture. The class wasn't a breeze, but it was rewarding

Bob is one of the best professors I've ever had. I was unable to attend a week of class, and friends would joke, "You missed accounting?! WOW, you must be SO bummed," but I legitimately enjoyed his lectures, and I looked forward this class. Many thanks to Bob for allowing me to respond with a straight face that yes, I actually enjoy accounting.

Bob Anderson was a great professor. He shows a lot of interest when teaching and he tells the best and funniest stories. The class is not hard at all if you show up and take it seriously. Do NOT skip class. I understand that its hard to wake up for an 8am but he reveals random test questions and you can only get it right if you were in class.

Definitely the worse prof I have ever had in UCSB. very unclear grading criteria for homework, and he deducts point for turning it 3 minutes late, which can make sense if that's his rule and that is stated somewhere, but he NEVER mentioned that! u will never know why your points were deducted unless u ask him because he doesn't hand homework back.

This class is comprised of 2 midterms and a final. For midterms, I recommend doing EVERY single practice midterm he provides a couple days in advance to the actual midterm. They are incredibly helpful and provide a very good indication of what his actual test will be like. GO TO LECTURE, he mentions random stuff and tests on it. SIGN UP FOR CLAS!!!

I really like Professor Anderson, I think he is honestly very inspirational. His lectures are not boring like some other professors. He also has 7 practice tests for midterms for you to study!!! DO THOSE. it really helps me throughout the quarter. I also really like my TA Haley, and Stevie!!! They are very helpful too!

2 midterms, homework, 1 final. Anderson is straightforward and clearly states what will be on tests. Do the reading, homework, go to all lectures and sign up for CLAS. Do all of the practice tests and go to the review sessions!!! If you put in the work you'll be fine.

His homework policy is stringent. I tried to turn in typed homework at the end of class because I walked in late, he denied my homework, which, after he told me about the "first 5 minutes of class" policy on his syllabus, made total sense. However, he rudely and unprofessionally turned his back and walked out while I explained I was there at 8:05.

Loved Anderson! He is one of my favorite Accounting professors at SB. He is really nice and approachable. If you can take the honor section!

Anderson is a very nice and interesting guy. His lecture slides are a bit confusing and the most random pieces of information from the slides would show up on the tests so watch out! He always says stuff in class that helps the kids that showed up that day so go as much as you can. Not my favorite class but still a caring and helpful professor.
