This was a horrible experience. His ego has no match. He is not understanding at all and will do all he can to fail you.

Bob structures his classes in a very inefficient way. So inefficient that it would not be worth it to attend lectures, except for the fact that he mentions random facts in lectures that he puts on the midterm and final. With that being said he is fairly knowledgable at accounting, just not at teaching. Good luck if you need to take 3A for a grade.

Bob overall was an amazing professor! The coursework is not extremely difficult, but takes time to go through. Go to lecture, watch the online lectures, and make an effort to understand the content and you will be fine. The midterm/final take up a majority of your grade, but both are based on straightforward content covered in lectures/reading.

Bob is an AMAZING & SWEET person. His analogies helped me to understand the topics better, and his insights into the workforce were GREAT. I loved how he gave recorded lectures! The 3A content is not hard but VERY time-consuming. YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK (2 WEEKLY online quizzes). GO TO LECTURE & SECTION! 75% of your grade are exams w/ NO curve!

He's a seasoned miner with ink stains on his fingers from the amount of manual journal entries he has done. He's Jung's archetype of a hard worker. It's rare to see nowadays amongst all these free-loaders.

GO TO LECTURE! His class is definitely tough, and his midterms are extremely difficult. The final was 37.5% of our total grade, and the average score was a 54%. Its hard to get an A (or even a B) in this class, so I would recommend P/NP if youre able to. And I cant stress this enough, GO TO LECTURE

He's an excellent professor for those willing to put in the effort. Aspiring to enter finance, I value his rare investing insights. Be enthusiastic about your learning and you'll succeed. His exams fully align with the course material, a unique quality among econ professors I've encountered. Went during office hours and he's also super friendly.

This class is a flipped classroom style, which rarely works and definitely does not work here; the lecture time is used for questions and students are required to watch the videos containing all of the knowledge on their own time. Class time is wasted with Anderson talking about his own experiences rather than material.

Bob is a fantastic motivational speaker, but a horrific professor. The lectures are hour long tangents loosely based off a question about the homework. Has a big ego and loves to brag about himself. You have to purchase Wiley Plus, which can cost upwards of $100. Prof relies entirely on it; you could pass the course over WP without his material.

Overall this class was not the hardest but final is in a week and not even the TA's know what the format of the final is. Same goes for midterm, went in blind because no one knew what it was going to be like. Don't take him if u can !!

He is extremely clear with what you need to do and learn to excel in the class. Extremely fair grader. He orients lectures around applications of concepts and expects students to put in work outside of class. Exceptional practical advice and insight into the field of accounting and connects students to job resources. You will succeed if you work.

tell people to attend useless lectures by saying "there will be questions on the final that I only talk about in class and not in the recording". He's just repeating the same stuff+ his personal life and waste 3 hrs of ur time every week. Also, be ready to have things due for basically EVERY SINGLE WEEKDAY even though u don't have lecture/sessions
