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
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 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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
I really enjoyed going to Bobs class, aside from the fact that it's 8am. He tells great stories and is clear. Lecture isn't mandatory but Id recommend it because his slides online are pretty dry and it's smart to take notes on what he's saying about them. Intense memorization for this class, no real accounting. You learn about auditing but not fun
Has the worst OH of any prof here (not just the fact its at 7am) opposes helping you study material b/f covered in class, doesn't want to help you with homework, what are OH for then? Apparently only for people in accounting projects who are not enrolled in his class..
Cllear warning. Do not take his auditing class. The competition is strong, and this teacher makes it cut-throat. He's always talking/lieing about his boring life/family. His grading is brutal, and he is convinced somehow it is fair. The teacher thinks he is something,yet doesn't even have a master's degree. STAY AWAY Take loster or don't take class
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.
Didn't love him, but he teaches you accounting. Go to class as to not miss the trivia he puts on the tests. Class was difficult, but with proper studying and practice, you can definitely get an A. It's clear what to expect on exams, even if he throws in random curveballs.
Overall, this class gave me a good foundation for accounting basics. But I feel like his lecture style will not be everyone's cup of tea. He goes on lots of tangents to answer the most basic questions. Although lecture attendance isn't mandatory, you should go, as he mentions things in lectures that he doesn't in his prerecorded lectures.
Didn't love him, in fact I think he's a bit full of himself, but he makes you learn accounting. Not easy for sure but you learn a lot. Go to class or you'll miss his trivia that is on the tests. Watch all videos and read whole textbook. Understand HW. Study & practice. With this combo you can snag an A.
You will learn a lot. Just watch the pre lecture videos ON TIME and show up to class. Yes he goes on tangents about random things but if you sit in the front and pay attention you will remember it more and he may or may not add random knowledge to the tests. Going to class is not mandatory but I would recommend it.
He's very honest about what he expects from students. Tells you for the most part what will be on the test and includes free questions that you get if you go to lecture. Lecture was very interesting and I rarely felt bored. This class requires a lot of effort but if you put in the work you can get a good grade.
Honestly, I don't understand the hate that Bob gets. People say he doesn't teach... but he does. Yes you have to read the textbooks and do extra practice problems... it's an important class for the premajor. Super easy to get 100% on excel project. Just read the textbooks and practice problems over and over again and you'll be fine
Chilling the whole quarter, got an 80 on the midterm. Final though was crazy hard, got cooked bad will be switching majors next year. Econ dep just likes to play with your booty. Go to lecture he puts random facts about himself on the tests. Study all you want you cooked either way fam.
he was so rude in class and did not really care about the students at all
Go to class!!! Really tough class, but so much of the material comes from lectures rather than the textbook. Really passionate and interesting professor, but a really tough class
Easily one of the worst professors I've ever had.
